We know, however, that in the operations of the nervous system the simply ductors and the cells generate the nerve force It is evident also that nearly all of the socaed vital phenomena are less influenced and controlled through this wonderful agent" Again, when we study fully the action of electricity upon the nerves, shall that 1t is by far the most con- venient stimulus exciting the nervous action, and So great is the similarity indeed, between certain of the phenomena produced by the action of electricity and those attending the action of nerves physioogists have regarded the nerve cells generators of an electric current.

Death by Accident.

The COroner's Verdict i'm the Case of George F. Matthews, Whose Body was Found Near Mt. Carmel Thursday. Coroner Bollman investigated yesterday morning the case of George P. Matthews, who was found dead near the railroad track not far from Mt. Carmel about o'clock Thursday evening. The body was found near steep embankment densely covered
 with bushes. The head of the man was crushed in and one arm broken. Our Bran ford correspondent has the following in re-
 gard to him:
 aIt seems that Mr. Matthews was detailed by the Emerald Social club of this place, and of which he was 8 member, to purchase 8 chandelier for their room. Tuesday morn ing he started for New Haven on the 6:30 train to make the purchase, intending to re- turn home by the next train. Tuesday even ing, when he did not return home, his family were much concerned about him, but then it was supposed that he had been detained at some friends house and l would return in the morning. Failing to put { in his appearance the next morning one or | his brothers went in search of him. He as- | certained that he had been at Charles Kim berley's hardware store on State street and | purchased the chandelier. He was last seen | in Maine's restaurant in company with ! stranger. This was the last seen of him, as ! far as has been ascertained. up to the finding of the body. Mir. Matthews leaves wife | and two children. He was an esteemed and much respected citizen and his family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement"
 It was noticed by those in Maine's restaur- ant that Matthews was somewhat intoxicated. It is supposed that he took train on the Canal road by mistake for the Shore Line road and
 received his injuries by jumping of at Mt.
 Carmel. The body was taken to Branford yesterday in charge of relatives. The coro- ner's verdict was death by accident.

 Weather permitting, the seniors will go to Middletown to-day. They will leave on the Hartford train at 1O:2O o'clock, stopping at Berlin and go thence to their destination. The fare will be $1.50.
