AaWoman's Discovery,

Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady in this county.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her and
for seven years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and could
not sleep. She bought of US a bottle of DR..
Kings sNew Discovery for Consumption and
was so much relieved on taking first dose that
she slept all night and with one bottle has
been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus write W. G. HamrIck &

Fumigation by the burning of sulph.r is
the most common method employed by boards
of health in the disinfection Of apartments
in which contagious disease has existed, and
the clothing worn by the patients during
their illness. In an address delivered by the
distinguished chemist DR.. E. R Squibb, be-
fore the Kings County Medical association,
he called attention to the fact that there must
always be an abundance of watery vapor in
the room to be disinfected, otherwise the sui
phurous acid gas generated by the burning
of the sulphur is not an efficient disinfectant.
The same is true of chlorine gas when used
for disinfecting purposes.-Science.

Almost Strangled Tor Splinter.
Fremdenblatt tells of machinist in Lu-
beck who got an iron splinter in his eye,
which could not be discovered by any Of the
local eve doctors. He was informed that he
would have to prepare to lose the injured
organ. The man went to DR.. Binder and
told him his trouble.
"Ah, them" said the popular doctor, I'VE
may try first some other remedy. Have you
a good sized handkerchief on youf
ayes, but it's colored one"
"Oh. the color makes no difference. Give
it here, my lad"
DR.. Binder twisted the handkerchief into a
rome. which he coiled round his patients
neck, tying it tightly till the man thought he
would suffocate, and his eyes started from
their sockets. Dr. Binder now examined the
sore eye, and detected the splinter in por'
ton of the ball which had hitherto remained
invisible. He proceeded to remove it and the
eye was saved.
MY conscience, / thought you'd have
choked me straight off" said the patient, as
soon as he had recovered his breath.
"Poohl" answered Binder; don't make
fuss about such trihes."

 Officers of the Order.
 Lieut-Col Donahue and Quartermaster Sergeant and State Treasurer Ryan, off, cers of the Connecticut regiment of Hi bernian Rifles, came down from Hart ford on the o'clock train last evening and paid a friendly visit of inspection to Go E, Hibernian Rifles, of this city. Both the gentlemen are making a tour of the state reviewing the different con- panies. Last nights drill by Go E dem- onstrated the fact that there is good metal in the company and the excellent marching would make many National Guard company fear for it's prestige. Lieut-Col Donahue, who for the past thIee weeks has held the helm of the reg iment since the resignation of Col Smith, and Quartermaster Sergeant Ryan were pleased witnesses of the e mpany's maneuvering ard at the end of the drill on being introduced to the company con graduated the members for their soldier ly appearance and excellent attention to and execution of commands. Ex-Cap- tain P. F. Ramon was also much pleased witness of the company's march ing and felt pride to know that to him probably as the first instructor was due in a great measure the high standard of success attained by the company. Since
 
 tain Frank Phelan and Lieuts Corden and Finley have had charge, and with such men as tutors the company bids fair to become one of the best in the reg lment. Colonel Donahue, in conversa- tlon with a DEMOCRAT representative, said that the regiment was now com posed of nine companies, lacking of one for completion. This company would be formed in a week or two in Putnam and then the regiment would settle down to work. He also said that Co E of this city was the best drilled company with the exception of Co B of Hartford, that he had yet reviewed. a great honor for Go k coming from the lips of the head officer.
 Lieutenant Colonel Donahue felt some what delicate when questioned as to the possibility of his becoming colonel He said of course he would accept the posi- 1 tion if offered to him and would fill it | with all the ability he possessed. After | the drill the visiting officers were escort 1 ed to the Fremont house where Landlord David gave a splendid spread. Seated 1 around the festive board were Captain Frank Phelan with his two ieutenants Corden and Finley. Lieutenant Colonel Donahue, Quartermaster Sergeant Ryan, Captain P. F. Bannon. County Delegate | of the A. o. H. Wm c. Keenan, Finan- cial Secretary and Treasurer of Go E. Edward Ducey and Thomas Kane and a DEMOCRAT representative. The supper | was furnished by Co E and the visiting 1 officers speak in high terms of theil treatment by the Waterbury Co.

 est to Waterbury.
 HARTFORD, March 22.-The agitation of the secret ballot question go IS merri- ly on at the capitol. In the house this morning three petitions were intro duced, signed by prominent men of the state, asking that some measures be ta- ken to allow men to vote as their con- science dictates and in fear or favor of no one. The petitions were properly referred.
 The joint standing committee on cities and boroughs report that the report of the Waterbury horse railroad company ought to be filed in the office of the sec retary of state. The report in question is as follows The directors of the Wa terbury horse railroad company would respectfully report capital stock S50,O0O, earnings of the road from January 1 :, 1887, to December 31 1887, $3S, ,955. 70, ex- penditures S39, ,S34 .63, earning of the road from January l, 1888, to December 3l 1888, S35 ,660. II, expt nditures S3S. .937.- 99. The report is signed by D. S. Plume, l.. T. Turner aid J. R. Smith. l In the senate the resolution was passed 1 amending the charter of the Connecticut Mutual Steam Boiler Inspection and h. surance company of Waterbury. This amendment authorizes the company to l sl ,O0O,O 900 with the permission that the s23O 900 be paid in within two years. Mir O'Neill called fro the table bill No lS6,an act relating to the term of office of assessors in the town of Water | bury. The committee on finance re- ported unfavorably on the bill. Mir O'Neill thought that the committee had not had proper information on the ques- tic or they would have decided other wise. On his motion the bill was re- committed to the committee for another | hearing.
 The unanimous decision of the judi ciary committee that murderer John H. Swift shall not hang, as decreed by the law Of the state, is a surprise to most every one who is at all familiar with the sentiments of the different members of that board
 The report of the judiciary committee on the Swift matter had attached the following resolution which was printed in the calendar this morning:
 Resolved by this assembly, That the punishment of John H. Swift, sentenced by the superior court for Hartford county to be hanged on the 9th day of April A. D. 1889, be and the same IS hereby committed to imprisonment at harc labor in the Connecticut state prison fol the term of his life.
 There was short debate in the senate on the bill favoring the abolishment o1 capital punishment. The opinion of the senators seemed to be that the time hat not yet come to do away with hanging The bill was unanimously rejected.
 The house adjourned until Tuesday a l o'clock. By that time there will be new carpet on the floor and the room Will present gay appearance.

SKELETONS IN THE HOLD.
1t Is Said They Were Discovered by Diver the Cumberland and Not oD the NIerrimac.

Diver on the Cumberland and Not op
 the NIerrimac.
 NORFOLK, Va, March 22.-The published story of the finding of the skeletons of two men in the hold of the Confederate iron clad Merrimac, where they were chained in con- finement, has brought out prompt denials from several of the officers and crew, whc still live ill this vicinity. The Landmark publishes today statement by a prominent gentleman of Norfolk that proves the story told by the dylug Confederate at the home in Richmond to be without foundation, and that what was told will with more truth ep. ply to the ship Cumberland, which the Mer- rirnac sunk
 The gentleman says that a diver named UnderGown, who was employed by the United States goyerlsnant to explore the wreck of the Cumberland, found in her hold he b eachlng skeletons of two men chainet together in the "brig" of the vessel He signailed 10 be drawn up soon as he made his ghastly discovery, and on getting to the surface told the officer in charge of the ex- animation what he had seen.
 His story was uot believed, and to prove its truth he went down again and with chise] cut one of the skeletons loose and took it ul with him. The diver, who was a countryman of John Ericsson, and is now dead, did not remember the name of the commander of the expedition, but said that he was instructed not to say anything of what he had found. In a'moment of forgetfulness he related the story. and said ill addition that while under the water in the hold of the Cumberland ol 8 subsequent occaslon his air pipe became tangled by the tide and he had to remain under water six hours waiting for the tide tc change.
 Tine relator of the story is confident the man Underdown was telling the truth.
