Fossils I'm q Bridge,

Some four years ago a most interest
ing .'find' of fossils was made at the
Portland stone quarry. They were of
high scientific value, and it was decid-
ed to send them to Yale college for
preservation and study. They were ac-
cordingly loaded upon a fiat-car at
Middletown and sent on their way, q
carload of them. 1t was at that time
that the fine stone bridge of the Consol-
idated road was being built across the
Pennington river at Windsor After
the arch of the bridge was set the space
was filled in on top with quantities of
trap-rock from the companies quarries
at Meriden. This broken stone at Just
this time was being drawn to Windsor
by the cars for this purpose. The con-
ductor of one train discovered the car
load of fossils side-tracked at Berlin,
and felt sure that it was lot of ballast
for the Windsor bridge which had been
accidentally left behind. With COM
mendable zeal he fastened to it at once
and drew it on to the bridge. There
the rare fossils were dumped with the
other stones, and there to-day they lie
hthe solid flooring of the massive
priuSS-Hdrtf0rd COurd,t.

DEATHSENrEHCE UPSET.
Opinion In o Case Where It Was ALLEGED
That Woman Poisoned Her Husband.

That a Woman Poisoned Her Husband.
In the Supreme Court yesterday Judge
Fauntleroy delivered the opinion in the
case Of Ryan Us. The Commonwealth.
June 20, 1884, the Hastings Court
Of Roanoke City entered judgment
sgainet and pronounced sentence OF
death upon Marcella p. Ryan, charged
with the murder by poisoning Of her
husband, p. II. o. Ryan.
In concluding his opinion the Judge
says: There il not one single crimi-
mating or suspicious fact or circumstance
in the proof in the case; no prosf OF
malice, no threats, no admissions, no
contradictory statements, no attempt to
falsificate evidence or TO flee from jus
tice.
1.-THE jury first found special verdict
by which they solemnly find from the
evidence that some unknown principal
administered the poison and that the
prisoner was accessory to the death,
not saying whether before or after the
fact and then, when under the repeated
instructions of the court and its
refusal to receive and record its per-
fected special verdict, they find and re-
turn general verdict Of guilty, they
earnestly recommend the prisoner to
mercy. We have gone thus at great
length through the record, and noticed
se'iatim the numerous errors assigned
in the petition for appeal, because the
case must 60 back to the court below
for new trial, the verdict must be set
aside, the judgment of the Hastings
Court of Roanoke City must be re-
versed and annulled, and new trial be
awarded in said court"
Judge Hinton did not sit in the case.
