A report has been published that Paul s. Denison, Stonington boy of fourteen, who died from the effect of pistol wound few days ago, shot himself with suicidal intent, and that the act was due to overmuch read
 ing of flashy literature. The relatives of the
 boy deny this, and the Stonington Mirror of last week says: ''The cruel report having gained circulation that he was victim of
 dime novel and cheap literature reading, the
 writer was prompted to make a personal ex-
 animation, and can say that from nursery
 and the Chatterbox up to Bills History
 of the United States not one book was
 found that any boy might not be
 proud to own or read. Further than this. no member of the family has ever discovered
 him reading or having in his possession any of that class of reading alluded to in certain article in one of the daily papers. Besides books of travel, adventure history and the like, he was a constant reader of the Youth g Companion, Good Chser, Forest and Stream, and other like periodicals. Fond of trapping and hunting, he naturally was anxious to be- come the owner of dog and gun, which was
 permitted him at the age of II or 12 years, but had never been allowed to carry at will
 pistol. It was known to his aunt that he was very anxious to be the owner of the one found with him on the morning of the sad occurrence, which without her knowledge he had procured the previous night and taken to his room. It is believed that he accidentally
 discharged the pistol"

Railroad Interests.

The contracts for the building of the two additional tracks between New Rochelle and Stamford on the Consolidated road have not been awarded as yet, and will not be un- til the land has been obtained by the railroad company. The land desired is owned in small parcels and it is an exceedingly difficult task to deal with all the individual owners. Some owners ask enormous prices and it will be left for the courts to adjudge what is req sonable for the land. To avoid this as much as possible, the company have offered little more for the land than it's market value, but do not propose to become victims to any scheme of open and apparent extortion As consequence, W: E. Barnett in the New York courts for the con- demnation of a hundred or more parcels of lands which the owners refused to part with on reasonable terms. These complications out of the way, which they are expected to be in fsw weeks at the furthest, all impedi- ments against the laying of the extra tracks will have been removed
 It is intended to have the tracks finished as far as Mamaroneck during the present year. Some of the heavy work, as filling in and cuts may be contracted for and per- formed at the same time.
 He was asked why the contracts were not let out subject to delays in the matter of getting the necessary real estate.
 Because" replied Mir. Reed, Sit is very desirable to have the whole way unobstruct- ed before anything is done. The contractor or contractors will have to complete their work within a certain time under penalty of forfeltlng certain amount of money, and it IS best that there should exist no causes to place possible liability for breach of con- tract on our shoulders. It is,the custom for the sontractors-sub or individual-to work by sections of about mile long, As a rule. the rough material for construction purposes will be furnished by each section taken separ- ately. That is, the rock and earth thrown out from the cuts will furnish the filling in. This furnishes another reason why the real estate subject to the improvements should be all in our own hands, Section contractors ought not to interfere with each other, or trespass on the rights of individual property owners"
 There are two very heavy cuts to be made by the Consolidated road in the straighten- ing and double tracking of it's line at the lower end. One of them is at a point near the Portchester depot, and the other is lit tie east of Greenwich. At the former the cut is some ,5e0 feet long and in places it is 60 feet deep. There will have to be re- moved, it is estimated, some PFC, GOO feet of solid rock. The grade on any part of the line will not be more than thirty feet to mile. The new layout crosses the present line at two points, one in Portchester and the other between Portchester and Greenwich. At the latter place the new track will be depressed eleven feet as compared with the present track.

CharrvR RIossoms.

On exhibition in L1ebich's drug store, in Bridgeport, is branch of cherry tree the top of which is in full blossom. The drug gist received it week ago, and it was at that time in the ordinary condition of these trees at this season of the year, the buds being but slightly developed. He cut the bark of the lower portion and placed the branch in a large jar of water, allowing it to stand where it would have full benefit of the sunshine. He mixed the with water, the first day, five grains of the nitrate of soda, and increased the dose one grain every day. Before long the buds began to swell and finally burst, continuing in their growth until punches of blossoms ap- peared. He declares that he will have full developed cherries in two or three weeks, and attributes the astonishing results to the combined effect of the nitrate of soda, the water and the sun.

The County Commissioners were in session yesterday and heard the case against Edward Hurricane of Meriden, brought by Prosecut- ing Agent Fay of that place, who charged that Hurricane had not securely closed the means of access between his saloon and dwelling. The witnesses were Chief Ford and Patrolman Bolles of Meriden, who testi- fed that 8 window in Murricane's saloon leading to his dwelling had been found open. Hurricane did not deny the charge, but claimed that it was not door and therefore there was no violation of the law and further more the window was not kept closed. No decision was rendered by the commissioners,
 The license of John Ryder of Grown street was transferred to 1G6 Putnam street.
 In the afternoon the case against George Schmidt of Meriden, the charge being simi- lar to that brought against Hurricane, was heard.

Court of Common PIeas-JudEe Torrance.
 This court will resume this morning at 10 o'clock.
 The first case to be heard is that of Sea- man B. Smith, George H. filling and William w. Niles, who ask for the removal of an in junction against them. This is one phase of the Allingtown school troubles, and involves the liquidation of an indebtedness. John w filling, who appears for the defendants, will move that the injunction be removed on the ground that the taxpayers have a remedy in an action of assumpsit. The injunction is against Mr. Niles, the tax collector, and it is difficult to have such proceeding made per manent. The plaintiffs however. expect to make their position solid.
 Another case set down for this court today is the one brought by Rev. A. M. Worcester against the West Meriden Baptist society. It is to recover $4OO for salary, which he claims was due him several years ago and never paid It is alleged that he received $1, 800 under years contract, and at the end of the year a reduction of salary was proposed. The clergyman objected, but re- mained six months longer, and after his sal ary had been reduced to $6O0. He claims salary at $1, 800 up to or just previous to the time he resigned.
