The Charleston Trip of 1881.
General HarbfsOn Pays the Judgment O1
 fha Court.

General HarbfsOn Pays the Judgment of
 the Court.
 Early in June the decision of Judge Wal lace, of the United States Circuit court for New York and eastern Connecticut, relative to the return trip of the Connecticut troops from Charleston in the fall of 1881, was made. By the decision x-Quartermaster General Harbison was called upon to pay the claim of the Charleston Steamboat company and also the costs of hecourt, in all amount ing to $3, 574s s5. Tuesday evening General Harbison sent check for the full amount to the lawyer of the steamboat com pany, Hon. c. R. Ingersoll of New Haven. Since Judge Wallace's decision the propriety of making counter suit for damages was considered by General Harbisen, but it was finally deemed best to let the matter drop and pay the costs. Since giving his decision Judge Wallace has written to Judge Shipman of this city and in his letter he says that he has since considered that his equity was faulty in some instances and that if there was reasonable possibility for another trial under the circumstances it would side with the defendants Of course it is not to be considered for an instant that General Harbison should be at the loss of this amount of money, for he was only acting as the agent of the State and did what he deemed advisa- ble in the peculiar position in which the reg reason to suppose that he will be amply re- munerated at the next session of the General Assembly, Lynde Harrison and Joseph L. Barbour appeared for General Harbison at the trial before Judge Shipman.-Hartford Post

The Waterbury Abortion Case.
A Case of Negligence or Malpractice
 Investigation by Coroner BolIman.

Case of Negligence Malpractice
 Investigation by Coroner RolIman.
 Last evening Coroner Bollman returned from Waterbury, where he had been to in vestigate case of sudden death in which it was supposed there had been foul play. The facts as stated by the coroner are these Last Monday morning about 3 o'clock an old man named William B. Bronson, living in the suburbs of Waterbury, called up Dr. Castle and stated that his daughter, Carrie E. Mun- son or Gordon, was either in a fit or had tainted or was dead. The doctor went to the house and found the girl dead The doctor inquired of the folks as to what had been the matter with the girl and was in formed that she had been sick with dysen- tery. He was informed that they had had no doctor at all, but the son had studied medicine and had doctored her. Dr. North, medical examiner, was notified and from an examination thought an abortion had been performed. Dr. North, Dr. Axtell and Dr. Castle performed the autopsy and decided on examination that the woman had been dellv- cred of a child nearly full grown within two or three weeks. The coroner found on farther investigation that the neighbors had been of the opinion for some time that she was enctente They had not seen her for three weeks, but did not know that she was sick. Parties living across the street heard her crying for doctor in the night. The brother, who made pretension to medicine, was arrested after the funeral and he claimed that all he knew was that his sister had bowel complaint. He said his sister wanted 8 doctor, but he (the brother) claimed that he could not afford to hire 8 doctor. The coroner finally got the mother of the girl to admit that her daughter gave birth to a child five years ago and that the child died and she removed it to the woods and buried it. Afterward she said that her daughter buried the child. The coroner is of the opinion that the mother of the girl attended her daughter in child bed and through her negligence allowed both child and mother to die. The matter will be investigated by the Waterbury authori ties

West Haven.

A number of rowdies at Savin Rock Tues day evening created quite disturbance. The row started near Beach street on the Savin Rock shore. There had not been a walking match in the pavilion, as stated in an evening paper. A fight was started over some dispute. Messrs. Putnam & Hale en- deaVor to have everything orderly about their premises. An attempt was promptly made to arrest young man named Lawlor, who it is said resides in Fair Haven, who was prominent in the disturbance. Im- mediately the crowd set upon Deputy Sheriff Peck and Constable Platt, who were endeav- bring to quell the disturbance The crowd numbered several hundred and they all evinced desire to get hold of the two off, cers. The scene was lively, and Deputy Sheriff Peck drew his revolver and fired two shots in the air, hoping thereby to intimi- date the crowd. The effect was as desired for 8 moment, but the excitement broke out again and Constable Platt received quite se- were injuries in the melee. The man Lawlor was finally taken and locked up. Yesterday morning Alderman Lawlor, a brother of the man arrested, appeared at West Haven and promised Constable Hyde that the accused man would be present on Friday morning. He was therefore released, but as the action was regarded unjust by Sheriff Peck, Officer Hyde was ordered to bring Lawlor back to West Haven, which he was endeavoring to do at last accounts.

Ireland needs heroic treatment. So does the body struggling for freedom. When great leader arises Ireland's woes may end. The great leader that expels pain from the body and casts ou5 the devils of disease is Perry Davis Pain Killer. Nothing like it for sum- mer diseases. Keep bottle in the house.
