MIR. .CLARK,S PENSION.
The President's Negligence Causes 1t
 To Become a Law.

The Pres1dent's Negligence Causes 1t
 To Become a Law.
 Everyone, says the Washington core spondent of the Waterbury American, re- members the case of William F. Clark of Hartford, whose story went the rounds of the papers some time ago when it was told in connection with MT. Bucks bill giving him an increase of pension. Clark was lit- erally shot full of bullets while in the Union army, and even yet, it is said, has half doz- en open wounds. His case was so remark able that it attracted the attention of Gen erals Sheridan, Terry and others, and among Clarks pension were afidavits from the two generals named General Sheridan never forgot Clark and when in Hartford recently his old commander. The bill introduced by Mir. Buck gave Clark a pension of $40 a month The merits of the case were such that it was hurried through the stages, passed by both houses and was sent to the President June 25. Although the Presi- | dent was sending an avalanche of vetoes on private pension bills these days, MT. Buck had no fear for Clark's bill, as the case was l so extraordinary. However, ten days elaps- | ed without the bill being returned with the | Presidents signature, much to Nr. Bucks | surprise. At the end of the tenth day, how | ever, as the bill had not been vetoed, it be- l came law and Clark got his increase of l pension. MT. Buck was surprised, however | that the bill had not been approved and
 made some inquiries into the matter. These have convinced him that the Presidents failure to sign the bill was a mistake, ano | that he really intended to sign it, but some | how overlooked it until too late.

GRAY,s SPECIFIC MEDICINE.
Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundy and undisturbed to rise refreshed, head clear brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter deles the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing to feel that the system does not through it's veins and arteries suck up the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoyments. To purchase immunity from such fate should be the object of all afflicted But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure
 Sanford's Radical Cure meets every phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most loathsome and destructive stages. It is local and constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent in curing, safe, economical and never failing.
 Sanford's Radical Cure consists of one bottle of the Radical Cure one box Catarrhal Solvent and one improved inhaler neatly wrapped in one pack age with full directions; price $l.

"The main question as to the New Eng land road" and the proposed new rosd from New York to Danbury ''is," says the Hart ford Courant, "whether the Consolidated road can be made to take it. That has beer tried once, and it utterly fell through. It may be in the works again and it may not and it is barely possible for the Pennsylva mia to go to the river and join it and the1 lease it, though the managers deny all sucE intentions. The many rumors at least make momentary interest, but we mourn to reat the opinion of the Boston Post to the effect that New York sharpers are playing it or Boston innocents It isn't kind"

Speculators All At Sea-Uncertain And
 IndispOsed To @perate-The Market Fairly We'll Sustained And Prices Slightly Higher At The Close.


 The stock market this morning was moderately active, but irregular. Spectators generally ap peared to be at sea as to the course they should take and with the exception of the smaller class of brokers did nothing of moment. The agreement reached at the meeting of the coal road managers yesterday by which the output had been restricted did not to in the least assure spectators and comparatively little was done in these stocks. It evident that the public had but little faith in the agreement and the doubt that the companies would live up to it was general on the street. The mornings speculation devoid of feature fr1- ces fiuctuated frequently within a narrow range, but the bulls kept the upper hand and succeeoed in establishing fractional advance in most cases by twelve o'clock. In few of the speclat1eS quite a sharp advance was recorded. NaSnylue & Chat- tanooga, Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western and h. diana Bloomington & Western all advanced from l to 116 per The advance in the generally act i've list ranged from 14 to 5S. The weakest stocks were Quicksilver preferred, Lackawanna, Erie, Louisville & Nashville and New York < New En. gland all of which 3 to per cent. lower than 12S 900 shares The active stocks were Kansas & Texas, Lake Shore, Erie and Lackawanna The market was waiting one during the afternoon, Trading was in small lots, but the tone was firm until the close and prices left off at fractional i'm provement in most cases Nothing transpred wor- | thy of special note The specialties were dull The sales were A3, ,359 shares.
