The Calling Gun Company of she
 second Regiment-Grand Reception
 at Toronto-ExhfbftiOn WAtnesse0
 bv Many Thousands at the Toronto
 Fair.
 The Calling Gun company of the Second regiment arrived home from Toronto, Cana da, last evening by the boat from New York. They speak in the highest terms of their re- ception and treatment at Toronto and of their enjoyment of the trip. They left here a week ago last Friday. On the Saturday and Sunday following it rained heavily. The boys had plenty of time in which to prepare for their exhibitions of the Gatling, an exhi- bition befng given on each day of the great Toronto fair on the fair grounds in the pres ence of many thousands of people. The gate receipts at the fair averaged $10,00O a day, and the people seemed to consider the Gatling exhibition by far the chief attrac- ton of the fair, and Lieutenant Howard, the commander of the battery, was the observed of all obser vsrs owing to the part he played with the Gatling at the rebellion in the Northwest. The Toronto people lavished courtesies upon the battery boys who bring back the liveliest reco1lections and apprecia- ton of the many favors shown them. The fair lasted four days and was an extrsordi- nary success Ali the members of the Cat ling Gun company are New Haven boys. They had extended opportunities for visit ing all the places of interest in and about Toronto, most of which they accepted. The guns at the fair were viewed with wonder akin to awe by the masses, and Lieutenant Howard exercised the men in firing at a mark, firing up in the air and other ways, giving fair exhibit of the powers of the gun. The fair ground covers very large space, occupying an area of ground two or three times the size of Hamilton Park. Lieu tenant Howard and his company have a meeting at Union armory tonight.

We make this statement for the benefit oi those who have not heard of it. Admitting the fact it does not follow that every store that sells apples can supply the wants of the community in the fruit line. We make a speciality of choice goods.

Cucumbers for pickling are not fruit, but we sell large quantities of them every season and have them now The white peaches so many people are waiting for will be here next week.

ROBERT MeoLRvE,s TROUBLES.
McCleve Claims His Wife Is To Blame While She claims He Is.

McCIeve Claims His Wife IS To Blame
 While She claims He Is.
 Robert McCleve of Morris Cove, whose ! house was pelted with tomatoes Saturday night and stoned with stones Monday night I because of public indignation against him at the way rumors say that he and his mother
 treated his wife, denies that he has misused
 his wife and says he is not guilty of what is charged against him by the neighbors and oth- CT townspeople. Mrs. McCleve, though reluc- | tant to talk about the case, says that al \ though her husband never struck her, he ! made her do all the work about the house, | whether able to or not, and neither gave her l enough to eat or any money, except $l. l.5O to | buy clothes with for herself and baby. In an interview with McCleVe yes
 made by my wife in regard to this matter are lies. I always gave my wife | money when she wanted it, and properly provided for her. Our difficulties arose soon after our marriage, when my wife asked me for $15, after I had repeatedly given her change, and when I told her did not have 1t she got angry and said that if I would not give her any money she would earn some for herself The people at the Cove call me mean, suppose, because I will not spend money at the bar, or treat them, but pay my bills and get along as best can. The whole trouble has grown out ot the fact that the people believe my wife because she attends church and disbelieve me be- cause never 70 to church I pay all my bills, however" Mr. McCleve also said there had been so much lying going on that he didn't see how the lawyers could get at the truth when the divorce suit came into court. His wife has sued for 5000 alimony. The young man explained that complaint had been made to the city attorney by his moth CT against Eddie Styles, Charles Ward, Mar tin Marron, William Stevens and Milo Ste vens, who bombarded his house Friday night, and they would be arrested as soon as Judge Deming returned. If arrested now their cases must go over, as Judge Pickett did not feel as if he ought to try the case. Me. Cleve will be prepared to defend himself sgs g9thsg fstssk @ sf the he. laawRrea1kers a

 A curious circular has been recently re- ceived by all the druggists of Hartford, as we'll as of other cities and towns throughout the country. It comes from Rutherford & Mayns, firm of lawyers in Washington, D. o., and the announcement is made that the government is indebted to druggists all over the United States in sums collected unjustly and without warrant of law. What the na- ture of these alleged claims is the attorneys refuse to disclose at present. It is under stood, however, that the lawyers claim the Treasury department has for years been col lecting money on articles sold by every drug gist and that the only authority for such Ac- ton was an arbitrary order issued by the treasury officers. The attorneys propose to get control of as many claims as possible and then make test case in the Court of Claims, bearing the expense of the suit them selves.-Hartford Post
