Court Notes.

William M. Davis, the itinerant Chapel street merchant, was before Judge Pickett yesterday on charge of violating a city or dinance providing that such merchants shall pay a license or special tax on their business. Ex-Judge Blydenburgh, counsel for the ac- cused, filed demurrer. His objections were that the legislature of Connecticut had no right to pass such a law, and the Court of Common Council of New Haven or any other place has no right to make such an ordinance. The cha1t ter of the city grants certain power to the Court of Common Council, but they have no right to make such law.
 Prosecuting Attorney Cable replied that the necessity of making the law arose from the fact that iinerant merchants, of whom Mir. Davis was one, came into this city only during certain time of increased business activity His intent in coming here was not to remain here more than few weeks, and therefore the city does not derive any benefit, but on the contrary loses a certain amount of money, which all other dealers, residents of the city, pay as tax.
 Judge Pickett said that it seemed to him that all the analogies indicated that it was not properly within the jurisdiction of the court FI do not think that this court BO LLC PO"C1, uo " WCLO, OA the city, which made such ordinances. I therefore overrule the demurrer. Do you wish to plead over1'
 Mr. Blydenburgh replied in the negative and after some discussion asked what bond would be required on an appeal.
 Judge Pickett replied that understanding that he should not plead over, he would name the lowest penalty, $10 fine, and place the appeal bond at $100. M. R. Enscoe gave bonds for the accused.
 Jacob Schwenk, who keeps a saloon on Grand avenue and his wife a store on State street near Cedar Hill, was charged in the City court yesterday with violation of the liquor law last Sunday. Schwenk and wife have been before the court several times before The case was continued until De- cember 22d as his attorney, Mir. Ullman, is sick.

Card ShaFPerN.

The passengers in the smoking car of the see- ond owl train for New York Tuesday morning saw two well dressed, intelligent-looking men work the three card monte game upon a Hartford man. They entered into conver- sation with the victim as the train left New Haven, making the proposition to show him few tricks with cards in order to while away the tedium of the trip. Then, in the usual way, a proposition to bet on a certain card was made and the wager, which started at $10, was raised to $100. Of course the Hart ford man lost. When the train reached Stamford the monte men started to leave the car and the passenger who was out the s10O attempted to stop them. A fierce encounter ensued It resulted in the swindled man getting pretty well battered by the card sharpers, who then skipped.

 In The lee Business.
 Selectmen Treat, Klenke and Feldman, committee appointed Tuesday night to in quire into the subject of leasing the ice house at Springside farm, had consultation in the town agents office yesterday after noon. The committee favors the proposi tion if suitable bargain can be made. If the property is leased, it will include the con- tract for supplying the town with ice. which has cost the town heretofore about $500 an- nually. The town has been in the ice busi- ness two or three years, but the result has not been profitable. The ice business of the town is creating considerable comment among our citizens, enc of whom said re- gently: It ia time the town gave up it's foe business, for it conflicts with the rights and business of individual citizens and others engaged in the business and who have their capital invested on which they pay taxes on- ly to find the town 6 competitor in the busi- ness. One of the eelectmen also expressed himself recently unfavorably to the towns continuing in the ice business. Another citizen complains against the town own ing piggery and supplying pork in the market as an injustice to farmers who find the town of New Haven 6 competitor with them in the pork supplying business.

 Horrible Death.
 That salt is absolutely necessary to the health and life of the human family is proved by the fact that in barbarous times the most horrible punishments entailing certain death was the feeding of culprits on food without salt. By the criminal law of Holland it was decreed that criminals convicted of murder under certain circumstances should be i'm prisoned in damp cell, having only water to drink, and should be fed on bread made without salt, and according to we'll authenti- cated testimony in short space of time the criminals died most horrible and revolting death. In the purchase of any article of food so essential to life we cannot be too careful, and should always insist upon 8 pure article.
