Supreme Court Decisions.

The following decisions have been handed down by the Supreme Court of Errors
 In the case of Rogers & Bro. vs. c. B. Rogers & Bros. the court finds "no error. , The suit arose out of the alleged use of the trade mark of the plaintiffs by the defend ants, both firms manufacturing silverware, one in Waterbury and the other in Meriden. Judge Beardsley decided not to enioin the defendants from using the Rogers" trade mark. The plaintiffs then appealed. Rea- sons by Judge Stoddard.
 In the case of B. Nichols vs. M A. Me Carthy ct al. the Supreme court reversed the decision of Judge Andrews, who found for the defendants. It was an action claiming 8 judgment setting aside certain deeds and contracts and the possession of certain real estate. Martin l.. Blackman, of Ansonia, gave note for $9, 900 to his wife after they had separated On November 9. 1881, he gave trust deed of all his property Subject to certain conditions) to Mary Ann McCarthy, wife of William Mccarthy, of Ansonia. This was done to get his property out of his wifes reach. An action was subsequently brought to set aside the deed claiming it had been given as a result of conspiracy. The Su- preme court decides the deed must stand.
 In the case of J. H. Webb, administrator, vs. J. Goodnough ct al Judge Carpenter for the Supreme court has rendered the follow ing decision: The Superior court is advised, 1. That Mrs. Stewart takes life estate to commence at the decease of MT. Good nough.
 g. The remainder (at the death of Mrs. Stewart) rests in Roy G. Stewart, subject to open and let in after born children.
 3. MT. Goodnough takes a life interest in the property, with right to it's possession.
 4. The support of Mrs. Goodnough may be properly included as part of his sup port.
 5. MT. Goodnough is entitled to his sup port from the death of the testatrix.
 6. The expenses of litigation may be a proper charge against the estate, depending upon circumstances.
 2. In respect to the sale of the property the court declines to give any advice.
 The suit was on the construction of the will. The decision is in favor of Mir Good nough, between whom and the Stewards there was contest for the possession of the property.
 Security company vs. Charles M Harden burg ct al. ''The Superior court is advised that Mrs. Hardenburg during the life of her husband takes life estate only, that she is not entitled to the property any portion of 1t except upon giving satisfactory bonds to an amount equal to the value of the prop erty; and that in the meantime it is the duty of the executor to keep the property prudent ly invested and to collect the interest as it falls due and pay it over to Mrs. Harden burg"

Secretary of the Interior to investigate the
claims Of the traders at the Upper and

in session here yesterday. taking evidence
on certain claims growing out of the Indian

ants are Nathan Myrick, VIM III. Forbes,

will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars
The gentlemen named were licensed
by the Government to do a trading business

break there was q large amount due the
traders from the Indians. The effort is
made to recover the sums due at the time
of the uprising, and also damages for dep

Myrick has been laboring for ten or a dozen
years to have the claims settled and it is
likely that the matter will at last be dis
posed of. It is thought likely that the
amount will be very much reduced.

FEARFUL FALLS FROM A BALLOON.
The Terrible Experiences of Two Aero
nauts i'm Connecticut.
New Haven Conn., special

New Haven Conn., special
AT Winsted Conn, balloon ascension
was made this afternoon by an aeronaut,
Prof. Brooks, and Frederic Moore, O
wealthy manufacturer of the town. The
balloon was the largest ever used in the
State. 1t was eighty feet high and 100
feet in circumference, and was calculated
to have lifting capacity of 1900 pounds.
All went we'll until the aeronauts had
reached an elevation of $500 feet. There,
although they were above the clouds, they
were caught in a storm which proved to
be the heaviest experienced in that
part of the State for years. Becoming ter
rifed by the lightning they began to de-
scend and passed through the cloud layers
in safety, although the balloon suffered
from the heavy rain, and the gas began to
escape. When within 100 feet of the
ground the machine was rocking violently
from side 10 side. As they fell the two
men threw out sandbags. and, losing two
much ballast, the balloon careened wildly,
the gas escaped. and the Car was over
turned. Brooks and Moore lost their hold
on the slippery rail and fell headlong from
the car. The crowds that had been cheer
ing wildly n few moments before stood out
in the pouring rain in their eagerness to
see the descent and did their best to catch
the aeronauts as they fell. Brooks was
picked up very badly hurt. He is expected
to die. Moore's Injuries are not so serious.
Both men had had considerable experience
in balloonino
