Maud SIS Injury.

What Veterinary Surgeon House Says of
 its Extent.
 Veterinary Surgeon c. D. House, who was called to attend Maud. s. during her recent lameness at Charter Oak park, said to New York Sun reporter in regard to the injury:
 'T was summoned to Maud s. s stable on Friday, August 22. I found the mare's right leg slightly swollen, and an examination showed that she must have caught the out- side of her toe and gone over on it, straining the tissue on the outside of the leg. The swelling was between the hook and the ankle. The injury was all superficial, and in less valuable horse would not be regarded as seri- ous. It was certainly not permanent, and there was hardly any soreness or lameness.
 "I first applied simply cold water, and, or dinarily speaking, this would have been a sufficient remedy, but with the Queen of the Turf determined to make assurance doubly sure, so as soon as the swelling had dimin- ished treated the leg with wormwood and arnica. This was to stimulate the injured part. When came away from Hartford on Monday the mare seemed to have completely recovered.
 'Maud s. is noble animal She is grand trotter and a beauty. Men talk of her record being beaten in the future, and it is more than possible that she may cut it down a little her self; but doubt very much whether her su. perior will be ever seen. Of all the trotters in the world she is my favorite. She is as sound to-day as when she was foaled. She passes over the turf as smoothly as ball | stepping boldly and proudly; but she is as kind, gentle and docile as human being indeed, great deal kinder ,gentler and more docile than many human beings Nothing could justify any carelessness in her treat ment, and you may rest assured that, whether l aha frnta Qoain thiR nkharUiao every injury she has suffered, however sligh it may seem, will be thoroughly repaired be fore she is called upon to exert herself agaiI on the turf"

married Addie Chappell, daughter of the late Benjamin ChappeIl. They have not lived happily together for several years, and the neighbors attribute the blame to Nye, who, 1t Is said, was not disposed to work, and was desirous of getting hold of some prop erty inherited by his wife. He has threat ened her life several times, and she became afraid Of him and recently her mother has resided with them. Matters contin uing to grow worse, Mrs. Nye and her mother aban- doned the place Sunday, and came to the v1- lage to board with Mrs. Ladd's brother, John Champlin, residing on Meadow street, Will imantic. Wednesday morning Nye saw his wife and abused her and was ordered away by an officer.
 few minutes past p. m. Nye went to the door, an ordinary wire screen door, which
 was hooked on the inside, and forced 1t open
 ln the room, and Mrs Nye was lying on a lounge. Nye approached his wife and said: "Addie, have come to see if you will live with me again?''
 She replied: Bill, cannot; I have tried long enough"
 Said Nye: 1T want you to kiss me and bid me good bye, for am going West. Mrs. Nye kissed him, and he turned to
 Mrs. Ladd and asked for 8 glass of water.
 Mrs. Ladd started to get it, but she was hardly out of the room before Nye seized his wife's hand, and placing revolver against
 her clothing and directly opposite the heart, pulled the trigger. The hammer went down, | but the cartridge did not explode. Again he
 snapped the trigger with the same result. l Meantime she broke away from him and
 ran screaming from the room. He followed
 her, but was intercepted by Mrs. Ladd, at whom he snapped the pistol, but it failed to explode, and she seized the desperate man, pushed him through the door and screamed
 murder. Then Nye went to the park and began the work of self-immolation as related | ah0va

Hot Weather.

Yesterdays weather, like that of Wednes- day, was decidedly warm, close and uncom- fortable. The summer closed with hot day, and the first day of fall was warm be- ginning. The thermometer the past two days has moved close up to ninety in the middle of the day. Yesterdays hazy sky kept off the suns direct rays, and late in the afternoon and early in the evening it took on dark coppery color, and suggested to many hurricane weather with the atmosphere dead and still and portentous as if nature was pre- pairing for some dramatic event.
 In the evening for two or three hours the thunder rumbled at short intervals and there were vivid flashes of lightning, but of the long desired rain but very little fell, and the heat in the air seemed increased rather than lessened,
