Ratlroad Notes.

Robert Prentiss, the young man who was killed at Pomfret Saturday, was eighteen years old, and resided in Willimantic. He has been employed by, tic New York and New England railroad for several years. His first work was that of a train boy. Not long ago he was brakeman on the Connecticut Valley railroad, and only few weeks ago he returned to take his place on the former rail road.
 The responsibility of the accident near Mott Haven Saturday morning last has been fixed on the conductor and brakeman of the freight, who have been promptly discharged. It appears that the freight train had been waiting long time to go into the yard which was blocked with cars, and it not be- ing time for the express, the conductor, brakeman and commuter lay down in the ca boose and fell asleep. The noise of the ap- preaching express aroused the sleepers just in time for them to get out with their lives The engineer of the express saw the red lights on the freight caboose and slowed his train in time to lessen the force of the colli- sion.

County Commissioners.

Sitting as n Court I'm Complaints for ViO-
 lattons of the Liquor Law-shan Ger
 tain Licenses be Revoked.
 The Board of County Commissioners were
 in session yesterday and had an unusual
 amount of business to consider.
 The first case demanding attention was that
 of Amos stephany of Aasonia, who was ar
 rested for not having his license recorded as
 required by law. Probable cause was found
 at the hearing, and the accused was bound
 over for trial. In accordance with recent
 provision of the Legislature giving the Coun- ty Commissioners power to revoke licenses for any violation of the license law,- Prose- cutting Agent Munger brought petition be- fore the Commissioners asking to have Stephany's license revoked. H. B. Munson
 and J. D. Ballou appeared as counsel for the accused. Besides the charge of not having
 his license recorded, Stephany was accused of not having the license hung in his saloon in conspicuous manner as the law provides The defense was that Stephany had not will fully violated the law.
 The Commissioners reserved their decision until the next regular meeting.
 At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the hearing in the case against Michael Kearnan, of this city, was commenced He was charged with
 selling to minors and convicted, and in con sequence Prosecuting Agent Dwight Futile brought an action before the Commissioners asking that Kearnan be required to show cause why his license should not be revoked. At the hearing last week Judge Blydenburgh, who appeared for the defendant, raised the point that if the Commissioners should re- yoke the license of MT. Kearnan their action xuou1d ha retroactiye and therefore unconsti- tutional. The Commissioners reserved their decision until yesterday, when they informed counsel that having consulted eminent legal talent their action would not be retroact- i've and that the case should proceed on it's merits.
 Judge Blydenburgh then introduced de- murrer, the points of which were as follows l. Because the act creates the County Commissioners a court to try causes, and IT the exercise of judicial function impose g penalty and determine vested rights of prop erty.
 ?. Because the enforcement of the provis | ion of the act permits and in effect operates to impair the obligations of contract. g. Because it permits and provides for z trial of causes wherein it gives the right tc ! impose fines and forfeitures, and wholly de prives the accused of the right of trial by jury.
 The Commissioners after brief consulta ton overruled this demurrer, and were about | to proceed with the evidence when Judge Blydenburgh asked for little time to pre- pare for the hearing and consult authorities He said that should the decision be adverse ! to his client 1t was his purpose to carry tht case to higher tribunal and test the consti \ nationality of the law. I The Commissioners finally agreed to post pone the hearing until next Thursday after | noon at o'clock.

There was lively call for Chi nese lanterns in the city yesterday, and all along Beach street.-the shore street-many of the cottages were prettily strung with the lanterns of which there was goodly diversi- ty in colors and effects. Not only were cot. tapes thus decorated, but the shore houses al- so. while rockets were sent up and Roman candles and colored fires lent additional bril- iancy to the scene, and at various points, mo- ticeably in front of Howes' and the Beach House, there was great blaze from tar bar rels. In Oriental Park the numerous cotta- ges were nearly every one prettily illumina- ted with lanterns and lanterns also were hung upon the trees and shrubbery. Among the particularly showy views were those d Hills Homestead, s. Arthur Marsden's Mayor Booths, M. Osbornes, the carriage maker, 1 MT.

Gardiner Clark's and many others The West Haven band, | which has become quite an institution in West Haven and at the shore, marched up and down the principal streets discourslng | fine music and serenaded a number of the principal residences.

 Chief Webster stated to the board that 8 1 statement made in a Sunday morning paper l that Commissioner Harmon had requested | him to put Officer Luby on street duty, and 1 to give his place to Officer Bishop was with Commissioners Harmon and Catlin called up. on him, but nothing whatever was said about Officers Luby and Bishop. He said that Officer Bishop had very lame ankle and he ordered the change as an act of humanity Commissioners Harmon and Catlin corrob- l orated the chiefs statement. The matter was further discussed by the ! commissioners and the opinion prevailed that 1 temporary changes necessary to the good
 management of the police office should be | left with the chief
 The chief stated that in his opinion the truant officer should be appointed by and be ! unde~ the control of the Board of Education It was voted to instruct the clerk of the board to communicate with the Ordinance
 committee and request that committee to | cause the necessary changes made in the ordi nances so that this officer may be appointed and paid by the Board of Education. The investigation regarding the arrest and | confinement of the late Aaron E. Wilcox was l then resumed.
 The principal new evidence introduced was
 that by Charles Wyncoop, of the State Hos. | pital who had the care of Wilcox after he was taken there. He said that Wilcox told him that the officers arrested him and he was | willing to go but one of the officers seemed
 to have 8 grudge against him. He said tbat the officers threw him down and ther l jumped on him. He also told how the off | cers put the nippers on him and dragged hin | along. Wilcox was in great pair
 and was constantly crying for relief He thought he would die and requested 1 that his brother in Southington be informed Wilcox said that one officer only jumped or him. He did not say where he was when he was hurt, or where he was when arrested
 He appeared to be entirely rational wher
 talking about the matter. He said that Will
 COX told him he had drank some during ths | evening.
 A number of officers testified regarding the I use of nippers, after which the board went | into executive session and after brief consul tation voted to adjourn until one week from l next Monday evening, when they will prob | ably reach decision in the case.

The Irrepressible small Boy.

Now is the season when the ubiquitous small boy fills himself with green peaches and greener apples, and bolts half-ripe cher ries, seeds and all. His voracity almost in- variably leads to cramps, diarrheea or dysen- tery, and the family hearthstone resounds with his lamentations. If his parents are prudent people they will have bottle of Perry Davis Pain Killer ready for such sum- mer emergencies, and 8 spoonful of this great specific will bring the young scamp around all right. Druggists all sell it.
