The Valley Railroad Leased.
The Consolidated Takes it Aboard--A 999 Years Lease-The Springfield Exten- sion Stopped

The Consolidated Takes 1t Aboard--A 999
 sion Stopped.
 The Sunday trip of some of the Consoli- dated railroad officers over the Valley rail road was for the purpose of noting the con- dition of the road with view of leasing it. It is understood that they found the road in much better condition than they anticipated and the negotiations for the lease were re- sumed with much better prospect of coming
 to terms. In fact, the terms of the Valley
 railroad have been accepted, and the road
 leased by the Consolidated for 8 term of 999
 years. The exact terms of the lease have not
 yet been made public, but it is believed that
 the Consolidated have agreed to pay $6O OOO, per cent. interest on the stock of the Val ley road, which is $1 ,O0O,O ,O00. The Consoi- dated officials have been willing to pay $40, GOO per annum for lease of the road for some time past, but the Valley folks snapped I their fingers at the offer, believing that they were in 8 position to dictate much better terms and the result shows they were right. | The Consolidated road didn't like the idea o1 | the Springfield extension, which is route | two miles shorter than it's own, and the work | on the extension had progressed so far that | the Consolidated had got to stop digging bait | and go fishing or be left. They threw lr
 their hooks and landed the Valley railroad. Even at $6O,000 per year the sum is but ( 1 trife more than 1 per cent on the cost o1 l the road, which foots about $4, 300, ,OO0.- ! Rdrtf07G Times

Am Atrociuus Tragedy.

The Messenger, newspaper started few weeks ago in Montrose, Uncompahgre Val ley, Colorado, gives an account of an atro- cious crime committed near that place short time ago. A New Haven boy, Robert J. Gibson, was the surgeon called in the case. Two young men, brothers, named Thomas Pastell, aged 24, and D. T. Pastell, aged p, in company with friend, J. F. Wiseman, all three being from the same State, North Car olina, were returning to Gunnison, Colorado, after an unsuccessful search for employment. The two brothers had $325 with them, which they had saved by industry and economy
 Wiseman knew of this fact They encamped for the night in a gulch. Wiseman con- plained of being sick and offered to sleep on the outside and not between the brothers as was his usual custom. About II o'clock at night one of the brothers, Thomas, was awakened by the sharp report of pistol and felt stinging pain in the right side of the head. As soon as he recovered sufficiently to look about him he saw Wiseman sitting on his brothers body, and repeatedly plunged knife into the prostrate form. His brother SGEuSRl6u "l1H HIS ttSSdllduG anQ buCc66Q6Q 10 getting free and ran down the gulch, but be- ing weak from loss of blood was overtaken by the murderer, who threw him to the ground again and hacked him in the most brutal man. ner. By this time Thomas had reached them and, seiziRg a large stone, he dealt Wiseman blow which staggered him for a time, and gave the brothers an opportunity to arm themselves with clubs when they attacked him and drove him off. Wounded and faint from loss of blood they started toward Cedar Creek, which they reached at 1 o'clock the next morning and were kindly cared for by men camping at that point.
 Surgeon Gibson with an ambulance imme- diately started for Cedar Creek, and the wounded men were taken to the army post hospital for treatment Both were terribly cut, the younger brother (who has since died) having been stabbed twice in the right lung, once in the left side, and having in all nine wounds. Thomas was stabbed in the left side and had numerous cuts upon his arms and hands. The murderer is still at large.

 'It appears to me that the amendment to section 19, page 261 of the General Statutes, concerning health, passed by the last General Assembly, as appears by section 3, chapter xiv, page 125 session laws, is of such a sweeping character that it will admit of crim- inal prosecutions for violation of such legal ordels as your board may pass, and if it IS so found, shall endeavor to do all that the amended law, or any other law, will support me in doing, to enforce such orders by means of such prosecutions" Adjourned.

The Late Judge L.. F. s, Foster.

A plaster cast of marble brst of the late Senator Foster has just been set up in the of- fee of the clerk of the Superior Court for New London county. The original was exe- cuted by the eminent sculptor, Calverly. something like four or five years ago, and is an admirable likeness. The cast above named was presented by Mrs. Foster, with a neat bracket. This cast is one of five which Mrs. Foster has bestowed; others having been erected at the Supreme Court rooms in Hartford, the Yale Law School in New Ha- ven, and Brown University in Providence. The fifth, destined for the New London County Historical society, like the fr.t one which came to Norwich, was shattered in it's transit, and will probably be replaced.

Rumor in the Stomach.

Much of the distress and sickness attribu- ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrh@a and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stomach. Several cases, with all the charac- teristics of these complaints, have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected by this medicine are so wonderful that the simplest statement of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents and when once used secures the confidence of the people.
