After a Brief Illness.

Mrs. Anna K. Robinson, wife of Prof. W. o. Robinson, died at her home, No. 137 Ed wards street, Thursday morning. She was i'll but four days with pneumonia and it was not until Wednesday morning, when her strength began to fail rapidly, that any thoughts that the dreadful illness would re- suit fatally were entertained. The best physieisns were summoned but their efforts to prolosg her life were without avail and she passed away shortly after o'clock. Mrs.
 Robinson, whose maiden name was Anna Elizebeth Haviland, was born in Boston about 53 years ago. Her father was promi- nent in business circles in that city, but shortly after her birth he removed with his family to New York city. She was in 1857 united in marriage to Prof. W. o. Robinson
 and in 1860, after nine years' residence in Pennsylvania, they came to this city where they have since resided. The funeral ser- vices over the remains of this kind and lov- ing wife and mother will be held as her home on Edwards street at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Father Higgins of St.
 Mary's church will offciats. The interment will be in Norwich on Monday. She leaves three sons, Attorney Philip N. Robinson, At torney George W. Robinson and MT. Paul S..
 Robinson, student in the Scientific school.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVOLVED.
Suit Against Northern Pacific for En eraaehnanf on (soHernmauf Lauda.

Suit Against Northern Pacific for En-
 croachment on Government Lands.
 ST. PAUL, Jan. 4-One of the most impor- tant cases that has been filed in the United States District court for many years WAS re- corded late last night. The Northern Paci- fc Railway company which involves millions of dollars. It is charged that ever since the road has been built, about 1869, it has been trespassing upon Government land along the line, denuding Government timber lands and causing unremediable loss and damage to the Government and it's constituents. These encroaehments were made upon lands and timber domain in various parts of Ida ho, Washington Territory, Montana and Min nesota.
 The suit promises to be 8 prominent one in the history of the great Government cases. The great importance is not merely in the amount involved or pecuniary damage, but lies in the interest in the State at large in having so much of the timbered domain divested of that for which it was chiefly vsl- ned

HAMDEN, Jan. 4.-A meeting of the Ham den Farmers club was held at the Town He'll, Hamden, Monday evening, Dec. 31st, G. W. Bradley, Esq, presiding.

 esthetical side of the subject for discussion was gracefully set forth. Discussion of this topic is to be continued at the next meeting, Monday evening, Jan. Eth, also the question as to the relative merits of the clover and rye crops. ''Is the crow benefit to the farmer" will also be considered. The meetings of the club have been enlivened by the presence of the ladies who have furnished acceptable and appropriate music.
