100000 could not buy 1t. He offers $52,-
900 for an insurance on the infnat, for 81

of PERUNA and MANALIN, he would not do
such foolish thing, as they are the most
successful protective medicines that have
ever been introduced to the human family.

NELSON KINGsBURY, who died very sud-
denly of heart disease at his home, No. 70
Sigourney-st., Hartford, on Saturday last,
was well known in Holland county, where
much Of his life had been spent, and where
he has many relatives. The Courant says !:
He was for many years one of the fore
most manufacturers of Connecticut. Near
~ forty years ago he started manufactur-
ing WOODEN goods on q small scale at Stat
ford Springs, and continued it with con-
siderable success for O number of years.
Then he went to Rockville and accepted
the responsible position as manager of one
Of the largest mills there. Early in the
war times he was the owner of at least o
dozen WOODEN mills in the vicinity of Hart
ford, having his business Office here, and
supplied the government with thousands
of army blankets. Business reverses over
took him, however, and he saw.:the greater
part of his fortune swept away. During
the late years he has not been actively en-
gagged in commercial pursuits, but has
secretary of the state Sunday school union.

daughters, two of whom are unmarried,
and the third is the wife of Mr.. Edward
Kellogg. The deceased was seventy six
years old. .s1.ess.g .l..g.. = ~ ]
us THE Conant- cClellan murder case has
cen on trial at New London the past
ssReek. Thirty eight witnesses, business.
men, testified to Commits good and peace
able character. The defense undertook to
prove that Mcclellan made three different
appointments to ride with Conant and
then sought to avoid him for reasons which
they desired to make known to the jury,
but were ruled ont by the court. They
then tried to show that the seduction of
Commits wife was Conant's motive for kill
ing Mcclellan, and the court decided that
this was not admissible at the present
time. Evidence was introduced showing
that Conant was suffering mentally for
several weeks prior to the fatal Sunday.
It is generally believed that the trial viii
be finished this week.

Last Weeks Presidential Appointments.

The White House has been overrun for
fhe past two weeks with applicants for of.
flee, ant: Senators and Representatives
have kept the President busy in listening
to friendly opportunities. A large number
Of nominations viii be Sent to the Senate
during this week. There are several inn
por tant offices to be filled in the Tcrritor
les, among them Chief Justices of Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming; Surveyor General
for New Mexico. and other positions of less
Importance There are quite number OF
vacant postmasterships and positions in
tae Internal Revenue and Customs service.
The Berlin mission will not be filled for
some time to come, and certainly not be-
tire the adjournment of Congress. II Is
probable, however, that the vacant Rus.
ian mission will be filled next week.
There does not seem to have been any par
ticular pressure brought to bear upon the
President for this Office, and it is likely
that it may be filled bv the promotion OF
some person now holding second-class
sslission. 1t is observed that the President
in filling the Territorial Offices has not been
influenced BY that PLANK in the Republican
r!atform, which declared in favor of the
selection Of persons living in the Territor-
les % fill these places.

The New Irish Land Law.

The Irish people do not regard with
muc;, favor the new land law, by which
Mr.. Treviiyan proposes to enable them to
acquire the ownership Of their farms. They
object to it on two grounds. The first is
that he proposes that the tenants shall pay
20 times the legal rent in order to acquire
ownership of the land, although as ne adj
mits Irish land now sells for but is :inie~
the annual rent, and would bring much
less if large quantities were thrown on the
mar~et. They regard the bill. therefore, as
rather a means to benefit the landlords than
to make their tenants prosperous. Their
second objection is that the government in
money to enable the tenants OF
any district to buy land, requires pledge
Of security for repayment from the county
board, which may be compelled to rei'n-
bur>e the government for any losses it
might sustain.
