A'A Ia LOENI
Washington, Nov. 13-The hearing of
the telephone cases was resumed to-day.
Beckwith, counsel for the national i'm.
provment company. stated that his reso-
luton differed materially from the state
ment made by Storrow yesterday con-
corning the Pittsburg trial. The Judge
at that time stated that on account of
Judicial courtesy, the courtesy which
should be observed between the Judges
OF the different circuits, he would not
consider the question of legality or con-
.struction of Bells patent open for dis
cussion.
In answer to Young, Storrow declined
to produce the contracts called for by the
defence on Tuesday last, unless the Sec
rotary of the interior should signify q
desire to have them produced. Upon an
intimatlon from the secretary that ouch
was his desire, Storrow agreed to pro-
duce the papers.
Humphreys wished to have in
in the records the
patents of Hughes, Edison and
Others and various files, wrappers and
papers from the patent Office records
andEthe evidence duly admitted; be also
read an affidavit by President Goodwin,
of the Globe company, testifying to
Meuccl's extreme poverty; that Meucci
was oppressed by the American Tele-
phone company though the institution
of a snit against him, that the Bell COM
papy, through Its attorney, had endaav.
ored to purchas and acquire the claims
OF Meuccl. Storrow replied fully to
these affidavits.

report in an evening paper of yesterday
that Joe Killoran, alias Joe Howard, the
noted bank burglar, had been living in New
Haven with woman supposed to be Josie
Mansfield, of Jim Fisk fame, for eight
months and in highly respectable part of
the city, must be taken with some degree of
allowance. The facts are that the man who
boarded on Wall street as represented was
not "Joe' Killoran at all, but his name was
Harry Killoran. A gentleman said last
evening that he had known the latter for the
past ten years and was positive that he
was not Joe Killoran or Joe Howard, or that
Harry ever saw such a man. He said he saw
him when he first came to New Haven and
often saw him while here and conversed with
him. So far as his wife was concerned, he
said that she did not look any more like
Josie Mansfield, whom he had often seen,
than he did, except perhaps that she was
feshy He further said that he would be
willing to stake every dollar he had and all
he could borrow and give large odds that he
was correct in his conclusions as to Mr.. Kill
loran and his wife.

Death of MIR. John Bromley, an Old
and Well Known Citizen.
Mr.. John Bromley, one of our oldest and
best known citizens, died yesterday after
noon at a quarter to three o'clock at his resi-
dence at No. 1O1 St. John street. He had
been in failing health for year or two past.
He had been confined to the house for about
two weeks past, suffering from general pros
tration and debility. He was seventy-eight
years old the ninth day of last month. His
death was sudden and, unexpected. He
passed away while sitting up in his chair
He was former Chapel street merchant, for
many years in the fancy goods business, the
firm being John Bromley & Son. Their store
was where Foley's millinery store is now, be-
tween Orange and Church streets. Mr.. Brom-
ley was in business at this place ten years
and afterwards was four years in the store on
Chapel street next to Shoninger's music
store where Mr.. Loeb is now. He then re-
tired from active business and had been en-
gagged since in the management of his estate.
He was native of Westville. Over fifty
years ago he spent the greater portion of a
year in the comb manufacturing business at
Buenos Ayres, South America, with COM
pany of New York men, and they were quite
successful. Mr.. Bromley was leading man
in the enterprise. On his return he manu-
featured combs in Williamsburg for num-
Der of years and afterwards conducted the
same business on Grand street. He was very
successful in business. From New York he
returned here and engaged in business with
his son, Joseph A. Bromley, who for years
after the retirement of the senior partner
conducted the business. He was married 8
little over fifty six years ago to Miss Ann
Daniels, of Milford, who survives him. He
leaves two sons, Joseph A. and George w.
Bromley, both of this city. He was kind
husband and father and respected citizen.
He for many years attended the Third Con,
gregational church.

the poor of this city are not properly looked
after. Mr.. Daniels is, I believe, very
worthy, industrious and honest man, and al
the time of his quitting work (as he was ad
vised to do) he had money due him, but
which he reserved to pay his rent. He was
told that his rent would be taken care of in
any case, and that he had better keep quiet
until he was better His mistake was in not
fully disclosing his necessities.
He had four children and when he worked
in North Haven was paid fifty cents per cord
