 The Danbury News Man is real mad at Rev. Dr. Peck, of New Haven, because the latter rubs skating rinks hard. "We don't know, says the News, sfwhether to pity MT. Peck as 8 mental wreck or to admire him as the climax of serene asininity. In either event the State authorities should have con trol of him. The skating rink ia one of the best and most wholesome institutions of amusement ever inaugurated, and what ap- plies against it applies equally against dances, sociables, festivals and picnics."

The Cigar Stands Clesed-ApPles I Enxon-Itema of Personal Interest.

The Cigar Stands Clssed-Apples I'm Foxon-Items of Personal Interest. The remarkably fine weather yesterday served to induce many chronic Sunday home-stayers to get out, and the churches as well as the streets were well filled. Miss Hettie Bradley, who was operated upon Friday for tumor, was reported last night by her brother as getting along finely, although, of course, quite weak. It is said that lady friend of Miss Bradley's held her hand while the operation was being per. formed in accordance with her request. There is to be a course of lectures at the Second Congregational church in aid of some fund for the benefit of the Sunday school the
 coming winter. Superintendent L. P. Dem
 ing and Assistant Superintendent Charles
 Steele will give several illustrated lectures and Rev. Erastus Blakeslee, pastor of the
 church, will also lecture. Other speakers
 will probably be engaged for the balance of the course.
 It was almost, if not quite, impossible to
 get cigar or paper of tobacco in Fair Haven
 yesterday in consequence of Chief Bollman's orders to the patrolmen to keep an eye out
 for stores that sold goods Sundays. All the
 places which formerly sold cigars and con- fectionery which were open kept signs con
 spicuously posted to inform would-be pur- chasers that no goods would be sold on Sun days.
 Everett A. Tyler, with John T. Hillhouse, the druggist, says that he observed bushels of splendid apples rotting on the ground in Foxon yesterday while driving through with his brother. Some of them, he says, were fall pippins as large around as saucer and which would doubtless cost five cents apiece at a first-class fruit stand in the city. The Foxon COWS are said to occasionally get into the orchards when their owners are not on hand and shock the good people of Foxon
 very much by eating so many apples that
 they become intoxicated and stagger around
 in a manner not known to human beings in
 Foxon.

 est Day's Business of the Year
 Prices Forced Down by the Bears
 and Closing at the Lowest of the
 Day.
 New York, Nov. 14 1885.
 At the opening of the stock market this morning an effort was made by some of the larger bears to sell the list down and in the first ten minutes they succeeded in forcing decline of A to IA per cent. The depression only short, however, the bulls coming the rescue and bidding the leading stocks up at rapid rates until by 1115 tue decline had been more than recovered. Prices at that hour showed advances ranging from A to S14 per cent over the closing of last night Part of the advance was lost by midday. The sales for tbe morning amounted to 345 600 shares. After midday the market was weak and feverish, prices fuctuating frequently, the result of conflicts between the opposing cques despite the efforts of the bulls to hold prices up the closing figures were generally the lowest of the day. The decline ranged from to E per cent below last nights figures. The inclination to sell. so general during the afternoon, attributed to the announcement that war had been declared by Servia against Bulgaria. and the belief that the other and more important powers would become in velved. This it argued would result in the withdrawal of foreign capital The specialties were generally lower. The days business was the larg est in a year, S21, ,128 shares changing hands. Money closed easy at 11s@2 per cent Exchange closed steady. Posted rates 4S3@ 4S51: actual rates 4s214 S211 for sixty days and 4.S4A04S5 for demand.

No Funeral-The Remains Gone to be
 emn0ted.


 There were no funeral ceremonies over the remains of the late Dr. Riggs, the Hartford dentist. There was singing by a quartette, and friends, of whom the deceased gentle man had many despite his brusque ways, took the last sad look. He was firm and true to his own convictions and a man of considerable ability. The remains were taken to Lancaster, Pa, and will there be cremat- ed. After the cremation the ashes will be brought to the doctors old home at Seymour and buried. None of Dr. Riggs near rela- tiyes have expressed opposition to this dispo- sition of the remains which was insisted up on by Dr. Riggs. His sister, Mrs. Dr. Kendall of Seymour, was not able to go to Hartford to attend the funeral Hartford Losses in the Galveston Fire.

Law Notes.

In Pawtucket vs. Ballou the Rhode Island Supreme court holds that the witnesses to a will must subscribe their names in tho pres ence of the testator. Acknowledgment by a witness, in the presence of the testator, of the witness signature affixed in the testa- tors absence, is a nullity. The only case in which acknowledgement of a subscription has been held to be equivalent to subscrip- tion itself in the presence of the tsstator is Sturdivant vs. Birchett, 10 Graft. 66, which was decided by the Court of Appeals of vir- .ginia by divided court. On the other hand, the cases which more or less strongly sup port the view expressed by the Rhode Island court are numerous. Most of Gray in an elaborate opinion in Chase vs Kittredge, Il Allen, 49. In that case oLe of the witnesses subscribed the will in the absence of the testator, and before it was signed acknowledged his signature in the presence of the testator and the other witnesses. The court decided that the exe- cution was invalid, both because the witness subscribed the will before it was signed by the testator, and because he subscribed it in the absence of the testator, the subsequent acknowledgment in his presence being una vailing.
 In the hnOQo Island 2cas6 the court said: "We have treated Ahis case as if the ac- knowledgment was made in the presence of Otis J.~Ballou by both witnesses, or by one of them, the other standing by and assent ing. The case has been argued as if such was the acknowledgement. The agreed state ment, however, does not show that more than one of the witnesses took part in the acknowledgement. Such an acknowledg- ment by one of the witnesses only, the other being absent, is not, so far as we know, SUD- ported by any authority, and it would be without question inoffectual.'
 CHATTEL MORTGAGE
 In Hughes vs. Shu1l. the Kansas Supreme court holds that where a note and mortgage are executed for an amount in excess of the actual indebtedness existing from the mort gagor to the mortgagee, to take up an old note and mortgage given in good faith to se- cure an actual indebtedness, with the under standing that upon the execution of the new note all the credits that were upon the old note should be placed upon the new note, and such understanding was carried out by the mortagee; and in the oveTstatement of the amount secured there was no intent of either party to hinder, delay or defraud the mortgagors creditors, such mortgage is not fraudulent in tote, because upon its face it secures an amount of indebtedness in excess ot that actually existing from the mortgagor to the mortgagee
