YOUNG HENDRxx,s DEATH.

The Railroad Company In No Way
 To BIame-Test1mony Before COrO.
 ner BOlIman.
 Coroner Bollman yesterday took the testi- mony of several witnesses in regard to the death of Oscar E. Hendryx which occurred Wednesday evening.
 Samuel Newman saw the accident and being called as witness by Coroner Boil man submitted his evidence in the form of a written statement. In it he says that Hen dryx's action in standing upon the track un- til the train was within few feet gave him the impression that the man intended to commit suicide by allowing himself to be run over. After Hendryx was struck and thrown to one side Newman spoke to him, but he was unconscious. The latter states that he heard the locomotive whistle twice just before it passed the crossing.
 Alfred H. Brown, the engineer of the train, testified that he saw Hendryx on the track and when he whistled the last time left the valve open 50 as to prolong and em- phasize the warning. He saw the man jump and supposed at the time that he had safely cleared the track. When the train reached | the depot he examined the pilot and finding no blood stains upon it was firmly convinced that the man who seemed to be in such peril l had saved himself by very narrow margin. | The engineer said that when the train passed the crossing it's speed was about thirty miles an hour.
 The testimony of the young lady who was | with Hendryx was taken She called to him l to get out of the way. He tried to see how l long he could stand there without remaining I too long,
 | Coroner Bollman rendered a verdict to the effect that the railroad people were in no
 way to blame for the young mans death.

N. Thompson, Mrs. Ann R. Miller, and MT. and Mrs. Charles W. Hemingway.
 The relatives of MT. and Mrs. John H. Lins1ey made them real and genuine sar- prise visit on Thanksgiving day at their resi- dence on North Quinnipiac street MT.

 had passed but few days ago. The repast
 was u bountifu1 one. A large purse of money
 was presented to Captain Farren by the brothers and children. He was very much
 affected by the token and could hardly speak for some time. The whole occasion was a pleasant one and heartily enjoyed by the host and hostess and those assembled at the feast.
 Thanksgiving passed off very quietly, more so than usual. The church services were unusually well attended. Family din ners were the event of the day. At some of 1 the tables there were twenty or more that | sat down at the feast Many were out car l riage riding, some out walking and a goodly
 number went to the city, afternoon and evening, to the different entertainments that were given. Most of the places of business were closed all day except for an hour or so | in the morning Captain J. H. Woodhouse l had hoisted on his flagstaff several large and
 beautiful flags, with the stars and stripes waving proudly above them all. There were several visitors here and some few went away to spend the day The w. s. c. had l their first annual supper in the evening 1 After the banquet was over toasts were read l speeches made, songs sung and 8 good time ] enjoyed by all.

 MT. Luzerne Luddington, of the firm of Luddington 6 Woodward, printers, says the prospects for business in his line gre ex- celIent.
 Some of the gunners the east side are very fond of hunting in the woods and fields. Almost every day they are out for few hours of sport, but as game is not very plen- ty, they generally come back from their tramp with the game-bags not overloaded.
 At the German church in the city, corner of Wooster and Brewery streets, on Thurs day evening, by the Rev. MT. Seibke, Miss Annie M Borst, of this place, and Charles Lord, of Hartford, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. A large number of friends were present.

 A grand concert at the Grand street Bap- tlst church by the noted Quintette club of

A VIGOROUS STATEMENT.

NIT. ohm R. G1Idea Comes to the Front. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 The New Haven Union of August 13, 1884, contained an article entitled, 'tWhere is John R. Gildea?" and intimating pretty
 strongly that he had absconded with some of the funds of the Liquor Dealers association and taken away forty dollars from MT. Cor bett of the Protest, and also that he was at the time intoxicated, all of which I hereby brand as malicious falsehood. I went to Europe on a visit, have returned and am here to prove the absurdfty of such false stories as have been circulated about me. I would not
 intrude on your space but that some of the papers of this city through certain scribes
 have misrepresented me, and that the duty I owe my family and friends forces me to do so In the first place, as I want to be as brief as possible, I resigned my secre- taryship of the Liquor Dealers association honorably, giving proper notice thereof, my accounts being found honest and correct. At the same time finding Corbett had no money severed my connection with the Protest. had to borrow for him ten dollars from c. ". Bradley to pay for the first issue, and to pay MT. Bradley back borrowed ten dollars more from Alderman KIenke, which I afterwards paid MT. K1enke from remlttances made by members of the L. D. association. I never collected one cent with out informing Corbett of the same and defy him or the L. D. association to prove I did or do now owe them one cent. On the contrary Corbett owes me now twelve dol lars and fifty cents and the L. D. association are in my debt for servicestrendered. So much for Corbett's famous interview dur ! ing my absence published in the Union. have been in business in New Haven over sixteen years, and although have met with f reverses of late, I challenge anyone to prove | that they have ever seen me intoxicated or committing any despicable deed during my life.
 As am now about to leave this city I | will revert to another piece of false news ! with regard to my having been arrested while in Ireland for poetic efusions. This \ story had its birth in tho excited brain of | a would-be climber of Parnassus mount, for
 although published several songs in the
 Ballina Western People, they did not tickle
 Her Majesty's lions paws very much.
 hope, MT. Editor, the celebrated pen singers of the press of New Haven will in | future allow me to pursue the even tenor of \ my way JOHN R. GnDEA

Stocks Jobbed For SaIe-A Hard Drive At Lake Shore And New York CentraI-PrIces Close Down Below The Final Figures Of We'd nesday.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 28
 The Stock Exchange did not open until Il o'clock this morning, the board having adjourned from Wednesday until that hour. There was good at tendance in the board at the opening of business, but there decidedly sellers than buyers and from the opening up to within a few minutes of 12 o'clock large of some of the leading stocks was thrown on the market. The sell ing was especially directed against Lake Shore and New York Central. The former was pressed for sale on largely decreased earnings shown by the company s published statement for the quarter end ing September 30, while Central was sold down on what were said to have been matched sales by large dealers who believing that the war between it and the West Shore would soon terminate resorted to these tactics to depress it for the purpose of ing at lower figures. At the lowest point Lake Shore 155 down and New York Central 136 The rest of the list declined partly in sympathy but the decline much less marked. About mid day the selling closed and the bull cliques trotted out Louisville and Nashville. They bid the stock up vigorously and in short time the price had ad- vanced per cent. This had stimulating effect on the whole list and during the next hour and half to go prices steadily advanced some of the leaders having recovered to the best figures at that hour Shortly before o'clock another selling movement was commenced, which continued without cessation up to the close of business. Under the unloading prices steadily declined and at the close about the bottom figures of the day were current in most cases. The decline compared with Wednesday s closing figures ranged from fl to 155 per cent, the latter in Lake Shore. Louisville and Nashville lost most of the early advance, closing only 1s higher. The specialties were dull and featureless
