BETTER THAN FAITH CURE.

A New Remedy for the Toothache Which
Is Warranted to Work.
There were five men of US and three wo-
men. besides the driver, who were staging it
between two towns in Kansas We set out
at o'clock in the morning for an all days
ride, and had not made over two miles when
the oldest man in the crowd, who was from
the nutmeg state, and built on Yankee pr1n-
ciples, suddenly exclaimed:
| ''By gosh to squashl"
"What's upT' asked one of the lot.

lower double tooth, and I'm in for a bushel
of trouble"
"Just try and not think of it," suggested
one of the women Keep your thoughts on
your family"
He tried it for two or three minutes, and
a smile of affection came to his face. 1t sud-
denly died away, however to be replaced by
look of ferocity as he yelled out:
"Hang my family, but it don't work. Has
anybody got any camphorP
Nobody had. One man had some tobacco
but the Yankee couldn't go it. The ache,
once started, grew worse, and as he began

"Tve heard say ss imagination has all to

THE ENGINEERS BALL.
The Brotherhood Again Do Themselves Proud
at the Opera House.

The Brotherhood Again Do Themselves Proud
at the Opera House.
The Grand opera house last evening was
the scene of splendid and sparkling en-
tertainment, it being the gathering place
for bevy of fair ladies and a host of gal
liant gentlemen who had come together for
the purpose of tripping the traditional
eight fantastic The grand march began
at precisely $50, when Chief Engineer
G. A. Mclean led out with his lady, &C
companied by S. S. Sanford, first engineer
James Beless, first assistant; Frederick
King, chaplain; G. w. Tenney, guide, and
members of the division, all in their new
regalia, which is at once thing to be adj
mired and remembered
The guests had gathered from away into
the interior of Colorado and from all the
surrounding districts of the country,
while of course Utah was the principal
contributor to the personnel of the occas-
ion. The attendance was very large, larger,
we think, than that of last year, which
was immense; there was, in fact, a regular
crowd, but jolly, good-natured and most
pleasant one. The sets We're called on and
dismissed with the regulation locomotive
whistle, a more appropriate device than
which could not be conceived of, and the
music, the prompting and all the ct cetras
were as nearly perfect as careful manage
ment and excellent attention to details
could make them.
1t was long after the sun had passed the
meridian at the antipodes that the gay and
festive throng dispersed, and when it did
let go and depart. it was with conscious
ness that, despite the WEAKNESS impaired
by their pleasuraole experiences, they
were well repaid for it in the general and
altogether delightful associations of the
evening. The ball was like its predeces-
sors, success in all respects, and we con-
graduate The brotherhood because of it.

CLINT BARNARD. ELIJAH BARNARD.
ANDERSON BARNARD.

ANDERSON BARNARD.
JOHN BARNARD. LITTLE JOHN BARNARD
1t all happened in this wise: The Barnards
lived in Hancock county, where nearly every
body belongs to one side or the other of a
vendetta, and where everybody carries a
Winchester as city men carry walking sticks.
In the same county lived Henley Sutton, the
proprietor of small still-house. He was a
large, well built man, who feared nobody.
He had killed a great many people, and
among others it is said that he murdered his
own father. Some twelve years ago he was
made deputy United States marshal, but
after Cleveland's advent to the presidency he
was removed Then he went into the distil
ling business.
The Barnards consist of one family COM
prising three brothers and another compris-
ing two brothers, cousins to the other three.
Among the three brothers was Zig john"
so called to distinguish him from his cousin
Little john" big john is a splendidly
formed fellow, &c years old, and "pet of the
petticoats" He made love to a girl who SUIT
ton supposed belonged to himself. Between
these two athletes this naturally made
trouble big John" tried to make peace,
but Sutton would not have it. One day he
sent his rival the following note:
consider | have lived over half my years and
am ready to die. am afraid of no man above
ground and the gun win have to settle this thing
After this Sutton began to try to hire men
to draw his antagonist away from his crowd,
but big John" consulted with the Barnard
boys, and it was decided that they should
keep together and be always prepared.
On the afternoon of Jan. IL Sutton, ac-
companied by government gauger named
John Mills, started for Sneedsville They
Travelled on horseback and were both armed
with Winchesters and revolyers. While
going through forest they came to place
where the road turned abruptly. Suddenly
Sutton received bullet in his heart and fell
dead When the body was found his rife
was cooked. Mills then saw big John"
Barnard standing behind log ahead of him.
Up sprang the other four Barnards and fired
volley into Sutton's dead body. Mills beg
ged them not to shoot at him. They did not
modest him.
The Barnards gave themselves up. "Big
john admitted that he had done the killing
and exonerated the other four. Big John
doubtless supposed that the murder would be
not killed Sutton, Sutton would doubtless

and sentenced the whole five to be hanged.
1t is said that Sutton has brother very
like him in disposition, and if the sentence is
not carried out and the Barnard boys get out
of jail there will doubtless be more cunning.
Meanwhile the condemned men protest against
their contemplated hanging as unjust, but
declare that. if they have to swing, they viii
meet death like brave men.

HOW SHARPERS WORK.
The Coterie Which Reaped Harvest in
Kansas City.

The real sharper knows where to op-
crate. He picks out a town that plumes
itself on being big, and metropolitan, and
flip, and he goes in and ''does" it out of its
eye teeth. Such town is Kansas City.
A coterie of clever fellows dropped down
that way with bundle of fraudulent Mex
lean bonds of the vintage Of 1860 and pre-
ceeded to garner thousand of dollars.
Anybody in finance ought to have known
all about these bonds, but the Kansas City
folks didn't. They were sheep for the
shearer, and now they are shorn. This is
what comes of overestimating ones clever
ness.
But there are other places besides Kansas
city where the sharper has little trouble
in getting in his work. Those who wish to
avoid the pitfalls laid for them during the
holiday season, by unprincipled dealers,
should call at the iewelry house of H.
Young & Co. and inspect the stock of ele-
CANT goods now shown, but which is rap
idly being depleted by the rush. We
guarantee everything we sell, and have all
classes of goods. Don't pass H. Young &

The Newtown bee., 1889-05-24

The Careful Buyer, a trade journal of exten. ded circulation published in the interest of consumers, has the following appreciative notice of one of our prominent advertisers: There is no finer demonstration of the impor- tance, magnitude and general prosperity of the city of Bridgeport, as a port, for the mer- cantile marine of this section ofNew England, than is evidenced in the wholesale and tail establishment of Messrs Swan & Bush nell, 362 Water street (foot of Bank. Here we find an immense store four stories high, including the basement, filled from "hull to high op-gallant" with the endless miscella- neous merchandise incidental to the wants of frigate, sloop, schooner, sail or row. This house carries complete stock can be found in New York or Boston, Bridgeport
 being the largest merchant marine center for this class of goods along the entire coast
 of the State. Beyond the department devoted to their ship chandlery goods, embracing | tarpaulins, oil clothing of every description, ropes, tackle blocks, pulleys, oars, buckets, canvas for sails, flags, streamers, hawsers, ship lanterns and oystermen's and dredgers' goods of every class, will be found a large and complete assortment of engineers sup plies, glaziers' tools, a speciality being made | of paints, oils, glasses, etc. It might be well for our readers to remember that this house
 also retails goods at prices decidedly in fa- | vor of our home market. Carrying stock
 made up of the best and most reliable goods | known to the trade, esteemed by their pat | rons and socially and commercially popular,
 Messrs Swan & Bushnell hope through these | qualifications to meet with the same pros perity that has always crowned them with being ranked as among the leaders in their line between New York and Boston.

Settled by the Superior Court.

During the February term of the Su- perior court at Bridgeport, a man giving his name as John G. Gilson was arrested on suspicion of being the fifth Newtown burglar. He had been seen with the four who were captured and had given Law yer Lockwood $50 to defend them. For making the arrest, Officer Arnold was voted $50 by the Newtown Savings bank. Gilson, who took his arrest coolly, said, stI am not your man, but I know where he is." Information he gave was trans mitted to Inspector Byrnes of New York and q man known as 'sBritain Red," ar rested for another crime, was identified by Gilson as the man who had told him all about the Newtown burglary and his method of escape. "Britain Red," how ever, was wanted in Springfield on the charge of breaking a bank and shooting an officer. Gilson, whose story was thus proven, is undoubtedly crook, but no specific charge could be brought against him. The Superior court has nolled his case.
 Henry E. Wilmot, who lived in the Tongue place near Botsford and who was arrested, last Winter, for stealing chickens from aged Alexander Smith, was sentenced to three months in jail at the May term of the Superior court, last week. Cordelia E. Judson, arrested with him, had her case nolied.
 
 ged along the Street and insulted W. J. Dick, last Winter, has been sentenced to three months in State prison.

No one who notes the grip of the Con- solidated road on the Connecticut Legis- lature, year by year, can fail to feel the
 wisdom of Bishop Potter's warning note at the New York centennial. We are great in material resources and mechani- cal appliances, but our morality grows
 more easy and purchasable. Combined wealth sways state and national legis- lation and, perforce, money gains in of fensive boldness and power at the polls. The Consolidated monopoly had the advantage of position in last weeks struggle at Hartford and defeated the Housatonie's desire to parallel it's tracks, a purpose announced by outside capital with altogether too much swagger and brag, 136 to 102. Fairfield county gave four majority for fthe Parallel, but the other seven counties all opposed it. In the BEES local field, Newtown, Monroe, Trumbull, Brookfeld, Easton, South bury, New Fairfield supported the Con- solidated position. The towns of West port, Weston, Wilton, Fairfield, Bethel

Mrs Samuel Curtis.

The helplessness of man and the im- mutable decrees of the mysterious, which, for lack of more perfect knowledge, we call Life and Death, is never so apparent as when the first mystery, Life, passes at moments notice and with scarcely time for farewell to earthly friends, to that greater mystery, Death.
 At o'clock, Saturday morning, May IS, Mrs Betsy, wife of Samuel Curtis of Berkshire, expired very suddenly, GA years old. She had been in feeble health for several months, but had kept about the house, apparently no worse from day to day. About a week before her death, she was attacked by stomach troubles and the action of the heart was also af- fected. She was confined to the bed, but grew no worse and hopes of speedy re- covery were strong. Suddenly, Satur- day morning, the heart ceased-and life was extinct.
 Mrs Curtis, who was formerly Miss Betsy, daughter of Hezekiah Curtis, was native of Newtown and was born on Curtis hill. At the age of IS, she mar ried David R. Hinman of Southbury. He died in New Haven in 1875 and Mrs Him man and her sister, Mrs Wheeler, who was widowed the same month, took up their abode together in New Haven. In April, 1880, Samuel Curtis married Mrs Hinman for his second wife. After the marriage, Mrs Wheeler, now the sole surviving member of the family, made her home with Mrs Hawley, whence she was called to the bedside of her suffering sister. Mrs Curtis was a member of Trinity church and attended both that and St. Johns church. "She hath done what she could !" "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord" To the husband and sister, thus suddenly bereft, the sym pathy of the community is extended.
 The funeral, which was attended by many sorrowing friends, was on Thurs day, at ? m, at the residence of her husband, Mir Curtis. Revs A. P. Chap man of St. Johns and c. M. Wilkins of Trinity conducted the services and the burial was in Berkshire cemetery. Mi mott Augur, Frederick Sanford, Aaron Sanford, J. H. Warner, s. F. Glover, Frederick Chambers were bearers.

Miller Erastus Ryan of the Hook, who Is never SO happy as when. wandering over field and mountain, he is picking up new and promising specimens of ore of various kinds, has made another eXcur- sion to Southbury's mineral fields and elsewhere. Mir Ryan shows what he calls gold, silver and nickel ore; slate suitable for roofing, found on the surface of the ground, but smooth and easy to rend; black and red agates of various sizes, their surfaces, though dull and dead, giving hints of the beautiful polish of which they are susceptible. But strangest of all Is q quantity of material for mineral paint. Different colors were shown, among them yellow and bronze. Even under the pressure of a finger, the materal spread smooth and soft and, if properly ground and prepared, MT Ryan Is sure that there is little doubt that a valuable article of commerce could easily be produced. Indeed, if tests soon to be made prove as favorable as expected, a company may be formed to develop the mineral resources of that part of the Housatonic valley from which these spec linens were taken.
