scene not on the bills happened on a State street horse cSr Tuesday evening. A man named Wheeler got aboard the rear platform of the car and began showing peo- pie around. New Havan's town agent, Mir. Reynolds, and a man named John Foley were on the platform talking. Soon there was a seuf1e and the sound of breaking glass startled the passeage IS. A passenger thus tells what occurred: ''The man Wheeler be- came abusive and attempted to put Mr. Key holds off the car by violence and the town agent very properly stood his ground, and the result was that the other fellow got de- cidedly the worst of 1t. There were plenty on the car who would have come to the town agents assistance, but he didn't seem to need any"
 Town Agent Reynolds said yesterday: The man Wheeler is 8 perfect stranger to me. He was stocky built fellow. When getting aboard he tried to shove me across the platform and nearly knocked me off the car, l being unprepared for it. didn't pro and his ar m went through the car window. dIinkinV or not.

Queea of the Ronany Rye.

Few of the people of this city are aware that we have veritable English gypsy, real Queen of the Romany Rye, in our midst; yet such is the fact, Cynthia Grey, whom Manager Bunnell has secured to tell fortunes in his eurio hall tS the audiences. Cynthia and her husband came to this country few months ago. Since their advent to this country they have travelled all through the far South and Southwest and a part of the middle States. Sydney Grey, the husband of the queen, is tall olive-lined gypsy, and talks English like an Oxford undergraduate. The Greys were born in Norfolk, where their ancestors lived in tents for generations. Lord Aylesford, whose seat is in that county, was attracted to the gypsy boy while on visit to the camp and had him educated at 8 Herefordshire college. But the nomadic in- stincts which young Sydney had imbibed with his mothers milk were too much for him and he returned tL the bosom of his wandering ancestors, who were horse traders The gypsy queens greatest feat in palmistry was accomplished eight years ago on the race course at Chelmsford, Essex, England, when she foretold Fred Archer's death. The great jockey had his fortune told by her, and as the queen looked at his hand she said: "A sudden death by your own hand, young gentleman" Poor Archer laughed at this, but it nevertheless afterward proved true. Cynthia is from the genuine Remany blood in England. Her sister, the Princess Kioni, is the most beauti- fnf gypsy girl in England. George R. Sims, the dramatist, made her the central figure in his gypsy drama, "The Romany Rye" and Sands, the Royal academician, painted her portrait. For two years it drew all London to the National academy. Cynthia is really wonderful in her fortune telling and all should go and have their fortune told by real gypsy queen

While the people ir Few Haven were suf- fering with the recent severe cold, the resi- dents of Norfolk, Va, only eighteen hours ride from New Haven, have had and are hay ing very mild weather. The following is clipped from the Norfolk Evening Traveller of recent date:

store, and exclaimed: Heavens! madam, look at the length of it And so it. is with the bills of our good friends, the doctors Numerous cases are cited wherein those suffering from protracted ailments such as rheumatism, neuralgia, 1umbago and seiatica after many years of unabated suffering, have spent varied small fortunes, ranging from five, ten, fifteen to twenty thousands dollars, all in vain. Then to be finally and effectually cured by St Jacobs Oil (price fifty cents per bottle, with full directions in eleven languages and to be had of every druggist), is a striking illus tration of long and short hauls. These cases are all ot them verified and are filed among the most valuable testimony to the virtues of this sovereign cure. One of the most remarkable c ses of this kind is the following: The New York Morning Journal publishes the following remarkable event: Mrs. F. G. Kellogg, living at 50 East 86th st., in this city, was partially paralyzed by being poisoned as alleged, by servant. She lay for seven days in convulsions, and although she employed the best medical skill, her case baffled their best endeayors. One physician after another was engaged and discharged, until seven different doctors had tried to cure or help her and failed. She spent four weeks srt a Health Lift, but her case re- mained a problem which could not be solved. She was unable to leave her bed, and was as helpless as a child, not being able to use her hands. Her body was in a paralyzed condition and her death was looked for at any time. Salyes, ointments, lotions, plasters, and in fact, nearly every thing indorsed by the leading pharmacists, were tried until her case was given up as hopeless. At last, reading of the wonderful cures credited to the use of the celebrated St. Jacobs Oil, she was induced to try bottle as an only hope She began to improve from the time the first applica- tion was made. By the continued use of this Great Remedy for Pain. Mrs. Kellogg has completely recoTered.

A Romantic Trial With n Grain of
 Mystery.

Romantic Trial With n Grain of
 Mystery.
 The case of Mrs Annie O. Wilbur against George Lathrop is on trial for second time in the Windham county court at Norwich. It is suit that has called forth much interest and eleven of the jury in the last trial were in favor of giving the claim of $5,00O to the widow. The defendant, George Lathrop, is one of the solid men of the borough of Willimantic, seventy years old, and splen- did specimen of the we'll dressed, old fashion ed country squire. The plaintiff is 8 hand- some widow of thirty two years; her husband was the proprietor of hotel, but died vic- tim of his habits. Soon after his demise the squire began calling on the widow, and in creased his visits till never day passed with out his appearance. His calls were suddenly stopped in 1886. He says himself that he had compassion on the widow and often gave | her money. Mrs Wilbur says she gave Mir. Lathrop 1000 in May, 1885, which he had told her he could invest to good advantage. She received only 5000, and now sues for the $5, 900. She never asked for receipt be- cause she had such implicit trust in MT. Lathrop. The most interesting incident of the affair is a mysterious document which entities Mrs. Wilbur to share of 8 hidden treasure. The old gentleman. and his sister are the only ones who know of the hiding place of this poodle, and the widow is to have half. Mir. Lathrop speaks very frankly of the matter and says there were thousands of dollars, lots of silver and bank bills in the hidden treasure deposit" He won't tell where it is, however. He refused to answer when asked if his relations with the widow had al- ways been proper. He says he has burned his diaries for 1884 and 1885. He said with much feeling in conclusion that he put his property into the hands of his wife in Oc- tober, 1885, as he wished to pay her as far as money could for the wrong he had done her.
