Hartford Courant.
10000 NAMES IN TEN YEARS.
Geer's Hartford directory for 1889, which
is to appear to-day If nothing prevents, con-
tains %. GIT names, an increase of 98S for the
year. The publishers estimate the popula-
ton of Hartford at 10000. The Courant
says The total vote polled for congress-
man in this city last fall was 1910, which
$4,000. We have hardly added 1000 since.
Directory estimates are usually little in ad-
vance of facts. But 1t ia worth noting that
the total number of names in the 1879 direo
tory was 1854. A gain of nearly 10000
names in ten years Is something for a staid
old town to be happy over. The population
of Hartford in 1880 was 40, 553.

bail to await the results of Mr.. Cushing's in
juries. The physicians state that nothing but
a miracle saved Mr.. Cushing's life. The piss
toll ball went clear through his body and came
out of his back just over the spermatic cord
but did not touch any vital organ. 1t struck
in the dirt close beside one of the laborers.
The doctors say that unless the unexpected
occurs Mr.. Gushing will be up and about
within ten days.

THE AUTOMATIC CASH CARRIERs-A SUIT BE-
TWEEN RIVAL CONCERNS.
The Lampson Consolidated Store Service
company of Newark, N. j., has brought suit
against Samuel II. Barnes of New Haven and
half dozen other parties, charging them
with infringing patent by using the "oash
carrier" of the Acme Cash Railway corpora
ton of New Haven. The latter company
yesterday through It's counsel, Henry g. New
ton and Congressman Simonds, made mo-
ton before Judge Shipman asking for an in
junction against the Lampson company to
prevent their buinging any more suits. The
Aome company claims that their process is
no. an infringement and that the Lampson
company knows It, that the latter has no
intention of bringing the case to trial, but
is bringing suits to endeavor to ruin their
business by preventing customers from pat-
ronizing the Acme lest they should get into
litigation. Tho motion was denied by Judge
Shipman on the ground that the defendants
were not entitled to make the motion, not
being parties to the pending suit The mo-
tion was denied "without prejudice" and 1t
Is probable that the Acme company will
speedily devise means to become parties to
the suit.
