Court of Common Pleas-CIvll Sf
 ERwu

Court or Common Pleas-CIvll side-
 Judge Bradstreet.
 Judge Bradstreet yesterday handed down a decision in the famous Starr-Benton case in which Fanny E. Benton of Guilford brought suit against "Deaoon" John H. Starr to fix the paternity of her child upon him. The case has excited great interest throughout the State.
 The judge finds the accused guilty of being the child's father, and the following is the decision rendered by Judge Bradstreet:
 "This court finds the facts alleged in said complaint to be true, and that the said John H. Starr is the reported father of said child and guilty, as in said complaint set forth; that the necessary lying-in expenses and ex- pense of nursing the said child until Decem- Der IT, 1886, to date of it's death amounted to the sum of $8 25, and it is considered by this court that the said Fannie E. Benton do re- cover of the said John s. Starr one-half of the said sum, amounting to $4.12, and her costs."
 It was two years ago that the defendant was arrested at the instance of Miss Benton. He had been a selectman of Guilford and was one of it's most prominent citizens. He showed a fatherly interest in Fannie, who was pretty girl of twenty. He gave her presents frequently. When she became a mother his friends were thunderstruck, when she laid the cause of the trouble to Mir. Starr. He is an old, gray haired man, with kind and friendly look. He is sixty. five years old and deacon of a church. The details of the case are perhaps well known, how he was tried before Justice Beattie of Leete's Island, who bound him over to the Court of Common Please; how the girl told 8 straightforward story, and how the deacon, on taking the stand, plain- ' lively and touchingly exclaimed: You know, Fannie, and know, and God
 knows, that never did anything wrong to you"
 The trial in the Common Pleas court was ! in June. The girl was represented by Law yers Edmund Zscher and E. P. Arvine, while Starr had Attorneys John w. filling, ex- Judge Henry Stoddard and Henry G. New- \ ton.
 At the trial the defense tried to show that the plaintiff had been intimate with French Canadian who boarded at her fathers house, \ and with whom she was often seen, accom- panying him from his work and riding with him.
 The costs of the case will be about $200. The suit in this court was made simply tC fix the paternity of the child on the defend. \ ant, and, this established, suit would b. ' brought against him to secure heavy dam \ ages for seduction.
 MT. Starr will probably carry the case tt
 the Supreme court on the claim that thu
 complaint was not properly made out.

Jottings From she ROad,s Annual
 MeetIng-Tt Was a Good Year For
 the Road With she Blizzard Thrown
 IR.
 Present at the Derby railroads annual, meeting yesterday were: Col. Stevenson, the president of the road, presiding; W. II. Star buck, J. L. Macauley, Gen. s. E. Merwin, Wm. E. Downes, Hon. N. D. Sperry, Thos. Wallace and W. B. Burwell. Directors were elected as follows, each of the gentlemen named receiving the full number of shares, 8, ,428. represented at the meeting:
 J. A. Bostwick, w. H. Starbuck, J. L. Macauley, Henry Hentzy E. I. Carey, n. P. Stowe, all of New York; s. E. Merwin Wm. E. Denis N D. Sperry of nia. ". H. Stevenson of Bridgeport and Thos. Wal lace of Ansonia.
 The road made net gain of SIS, ,00O in earnings over the year before. The gross re- ceipts fer the year were $17s, ,77s. .S4; last year $161, ,000. The total operating expenses for the year were $99, 145.10, which was less than year ago according to the presidents states
 ment. The net earnings amounted to s74,- 635.74. The receipts on freight amounted to $s4. 4.977.77 as against $s3, 15424 the year pre- vious. There is another gain in the freight department in the total tonnage handled by the company. In 1887 the tonnage was 127, : 122, which brought revenue to the company of $S3, ,144,24, while during the past year the freight tonnage was 110,420, some 17,000 l tons less than in 1887, although the receipts from freights were $1 1888. 53 in excess of She year before. From the passenger traffic ! $81 ,322, 16 was received the year just ended, a gain of $8, ,635.99 over the preceding twelve months.
 The road lost one weeks business on ac- ! count of the blizzard, said MT. Stevenson in reply to remark by Director Nacaulay, and | it cost the road to dig it out $15, ,000. Mir. Stevenson was congratulated by directors on | the roads good showing for the year, and in I response said among other things: The past | year has been satisfactorily prosperous when | we take inte consideration what we have had 1 to contend with. Take the figures of the net earnings, STA, ,635.74. The New York, New \ Haven and Hartford road has been doing all ! in it's power for the past twelve months to di- l vert traffic from our road. In the first place it built that 'tY" at the Naugatuck junction on the New York division so as to send freight and passengers up that way instead of | over the Derby road. The road did all il
 could to prevent business going to our road.
 Yet with all that opposition we have gained
 in our freight receipts and in our passenger traffic and in the net earnings of the road.

Court ofCommon Pleas-CrImInaI Side
 Judge Deming.

, Thomas J. Henshsn, groceryman at 406 Congress avenue, was on trial before Judge Deming yesterday, being charged with sell ing beer on Sunday, September 2d, to clerk of his named Cook. Henahan WAS convicted in the City court. Attorney Charles W. Hamilton defended Henahan and in summing up he called Cook self-convicted black mailer, one who had prostituted the statute laws to get even with his late employer by trying to extort money from him. He stated that no credence should by given Cooks testimony because he had presented an un- just bill to Henahan, who had refused to pay, and then he threatened to have Hena- han arrested.
 Judge Deming in charging the jury said that the question was whether Henahan did sell the beer on that Sunday, and if Cook was guilty of blackmail as the defense claim ed they coHld prosecute him. The jury came in shortly after 5 o'clock, being out about half an hour, with a verdict of guilty. He was fined $50 and costs.

 terian.
 The rector of Christ church administered the holy communion previous to the regular services last Sunday morning. The atten- dance was large. The singing by the vested choir improves each Sunday, so also does the number of parishioners. The sermon was selected from the first epistle to the Corin- thians, tenth chapter and thirteenth verse, which reads: ttThere hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." The speaker made an earnest appeal to his hear- CTS to withstand the temptations of satan. We were on probation on this earth; the Lord suffering us to be tried and tested in order to prepare us to live for an everlasting life. Especially he urged upon the young members, those recently confirmed, to be on their guard against satan, who was strong in sin, stronger perhaps than all the people on earth, but if we would in our daily life watch and pray, the Lord would not tempt us be- yond our strength. The firth hymn con- cluded the morning devotion.
 In the evening the organist, Mrs. Hunni- man, played the precessional hymn and the choir marched in singing, Onward, Chris tian Soldier" The first and second lessons of the evening were the eleventh chapter of the book of Proverbs and the fourth chapter of St. John. The text was the fifth chapter of St. James, the fourteenth and fifteenth verses.

Discrimination in Pensions.

When service-penson bill is offered
it certainly should be discriminating
measure. The man who enlisted as a
substitute near the close of the war,
got large bounty and served but a
few months should never be put on an
equal footing with those who enlisted
without bounty and bore the burden
and toll of years. A service-pension
should be graded both by the time of
service and its character. Many men
had what the boys used to call " soft
thing" clerking at headquarters, help
ing with wagon-trains, and in variety
of ways escaping actual fighting serv-
ice. 1t is indeed true that these men
performed needful work, yet it is also
true that they did not endure the same
hardships and risks as the fighting men.
In word, those who fought should re-
ceive the highest recognition and the
others in due proportion, while all
should be graded according to the time
they actually served. Time spent when
sick or wounded in hospital or in prison
should of course be reckoned as of the
highest class. We may well be assured
that this sort of service pension
would not be objected to, even now
by the country, while the propose
of an indiscriminate service-pensiOr
would raise just clamor which could
not but postpone the favorable con
sideration of all pension measures

A New Pension Bill.

The following bill, prepared by 7. j.
Deavitt, Esq, of Montpelier, at the re-
quest of some members of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has been intro
duced into the United States senate by
Senator Edmunds, and was referred to
the committee on pensions: A bill
amending the pension laws granting
pensions to widows and minor children.
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled:
That if any invalid pensioner who was
receiving, or entitled to receive, at the
date of his death under the general law
pension of not less than SIS month
has died or shall hereafter die leaving
widow or minor child or children under
sixteen years of age such widow or
minor child or children shall be placed
upon the pension roll at the rates es-
tablished by law for widows and minor
children, without regard to the cause
of death of such pensioner, upon salts
factory proof of the pensioners death,
his marriage to the widow and the
dates of births of all his children under
sixteen years of age"

The courier was glad to get away from
such fre-eating officer, but he never
got to General Bragg. The men massed
behind the piece of woods opened out
in the meantime, just as person would
unfold his arms, and with wild rush
made for the ridge, sweeping the center
as completely as though terrible
tornado had struck it. The courier
dropped his prisoners and made for
the corduroy road across the Chicka-

in demoralized condition some days
after the battle. -Bdltimore American.

Silencing a Sharp-ShOoter.

Many thrilling accounts are told by
veterans of the annoyance caused to
our forces throughout the army by the
rebel sharp-shooters hanging on the
skirts of encampments during the late
war. Early the morning of the "a
skirmish line, composed mainly of the
Forty-eighth Illinois, was thrown out
in advance of our army, lying near
Jackson, Miss, confronting General
Joseph Johnston. The men had con-
structed few temporary shelters by
standing rails upright, leaning against
each other, the tops being bound to-
gether. Behind one of these little for
tresses, though in rather exposed po-
sition, Captain F. d. Stephenson of
the Forty-eighth was sitting on a
turned-up bucket taking his morning
coffee. AS he threw back his head in
drinking whiz was heard and ball
sped by within an inch of his face,
directly across the eyes, taking effect
in little dogwood tree beside him.
The captain rose quietly and taking a
ramrod stuck it in the ground so that
its top would be in the space lately oc-
cupied by his nose. He then went be-
ulni tllC tlOC anu ilOih thO
bullet-hole over the top of the rod, thus
ascertaining the direction taken by the
ball in its flight. Directly in this line
rose the top of large oak, with great
sheets and streamers of southern moss
hanging dependent from its boughs.
Boys" said Stephenson evenly, " our
man is among the branches of that tree
yonder. Now" taking soldiers cap
and placing it on the end of a knotted
stick, " you all load up and lay low.
When l shove this hat into view he will
fire again. There's your chances, let
drive" When all was ready he slowly
elevated the cap until just in sight from
the tree. A puff of white smoke burst
from its leaves and the cap turned on
its stick support, letting the daylight
through large jagged hole in its
crown. A moment later six Spring
field rifles spoke from the rail-pile
and man dropped from the oak tree,
clutching wildly at moss and branches
