Ammonia Injuriou. to Health.

The highest scientific auth critics in the land denounce the use of amm onia for culi- nary purposes, whether artfully concealed in baking powder, or in its undisg uised form, as it insidiously works irreparable injury to the human system. That distressing feeling in the stomach which annoys so many people who are unable to account for 1t, may be traced directly to adu lterated baking pow ders used in the adulteration of food. It is well to bear constantly in mind that Clsve lands superior baking powder is free from all impurities, and has for long series of years stood crucial tests for purity, efficiency, healthfulness and economy.

LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
Fire Last Evening In Lombardf,s Ear
 beF Shop on &fale Street.

Fire Last Evening In L0mbardfss Bar- beF Shop on State Street.
 About ten o'clock last night three persons who were passing Charles Lombardi's barber shop at 483 State street saw blaze inside, and at once telephoned to No. 2's engine house. No general alarm was sounded.
 The front door was broken in and the fire. men were almost blinded by the smoke and flames. A stream of water was put on the flames, and it was not long before they were entirely extinguished. The building is a small two story one, and Lombardi lived on the second floor. The upper ceiling of the shop was all sblsze, and had the fire not been discovered when it was the building would have been burned to the ground
 The fire started under a counter in which were kept cigars, etc., at the front entrance. The glass was broken by the heat as were also the mirrors. In the case was nothing but about half dozen cigars and few shaving brushes.
 The shop smelt strongly of turpentine, and finally broken pieces of the bottle that con- tained 1t was found. There was no question but that somebody planned to set the place on fire.
 The building belongs to Jacob Heller, and the total damage will amount to about $150, which is covered by insurance.

Patrons of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road who reside at Rye station are congratulating themselves on the fact that they will soon be able to use the new passen- ger station at that place. The new station is built of brick and granite and is very similar to the new station erected recently at Larch- mont. The interior arrangements for the convenience of passengers are unsurpassed by any station on the road. The generous spirit which the New Haven road are show ing to their suburban patrons is doing 8 great deal toward building up that class of business

SHELL FISH COMPASSION REPORT

A The Committee Thlnks Most of Its Power Should Be Transferred and the Salaries Reduced-Other LegIs- lative Business.
 HARTFORD, April 18.-Only one thing Of importance was done in the legislature to- day, except receive and talk about the rail road committees reports. The fisheries committee reported in the senate on the bill to abolish the shell fish commission. The report was, as indicated in the COURIER this morning, except little radical While it does not ablish the commission absolutely it does so practically by depriving it of DOW CT and emolument. The most radical recom- mendation is that the present power of the oyster grounds shall hereafter be vested in clerk to be appointed by the Governor and to serve for $1 400 year. The commission CTS may serve as a board of relief, to be paid by these interested parties and as arbi- trators. When working for the State the commissioners may receive five dollars day, but none of them are to draw more than 25O a year, including expenses. If an engineers services are needed, he is not to receive over $200 in any one year from the State. The report was tabled for printing. The fight for the abolition of the commission before the committee was made by Henry 0. Rowe and John A. Tisbitts and Attorney Maltby appeared for it's retention.
 The judiciary committed reported favor ably for atopographical survey, and the sen- ate confirmed the governors nominations for the State board of charities.
 The motion in the house to reconsider the vote on the prohibitory amendment was de- feated 68 to S2, and both houses adjourned to next Tuesday.

Chinese life ana Customs.

The lecture on "Chinese Life and Gus. toms" by Prof. Frederick Starr took place last night in the First Presbyterian church lecture room. The audience was rather small but very attentive. The lecturer and his as- sistauts, three boys, were dressed in genuine Chinese costumes, and there were great many Chinese articles in the room which they made use of in the course of the talk in order to illustrate it. The professor, al though he has never been in China, as he confesses, has mingled with the Celestials on the Pacific coast e great deal and under stands them thoroughly. The lecture was @ very interesting one.

COMMITTEE ON SQUARES.

The Center Church Thirty Thousand q
 Dollar Memorial Monument Ques-
 ton Again Heard But No Decision
 Reached-Fair Haven Park Pr0-
 jects.
 The committee on squares met last night and heard Messrs Thomas R. Trowbridge, Justus s. Hotchkiss, William P. Blake and Nathan H. Sanford of Center church in re- gard to the proposed memorial building in the rear of that church. They said that if there was any objection to the structure be- ing placed in the rear of Center church they would not push the matter. They did not want the court of common council to dictate as to the deeign of the monument. The church would build one costing $3O, 1000, one which would be an ornament to the Green. Dr. Carmalt was also heard, and he spoke favorably of the monument. In executive session the committee voted to continue the matter.
 The committee decided 10 report favorably on the square bounded by Ferry, Pine and Rowe streets and the Shore Line railroad.
 The petitioners for the Clinton park were given leave to withdraw.

The proof offered before your committee of any public necessity was unsatisfactory and trivial. There was some testimony that fric- ton had existed between the Housatonic and Consolidated roads about accommodations,

The LUG to $2UU,UOO worth of property hangs upon suit now pending in the Su- preme court to decide which of two boys, sons of Dennis Atkins of Middletown, who were drowned in December, 1881, while skat- ing, died first. Dennis deeded the property to his brother Thomas J. Dennis died and Thomas made known the fact that he held the property for Dennis wife and two sons. If the boys died before 21, it was to go to their mother. Her brother, Frank Knowlton of Illinois, is in suit against Thomas J. Atkins, both claiming the property, the latter as paternal uncle of the boys, the former as maternal uncle. If one boy died before the other, the other would inherit the first ones share and then all would be equally divided between the two uncIes
