The Eyraud trial, which has absorbed the attention of Paris for so long, is finally at an end A bad young woman, Gabrl. ellie Bompard, had entangled in her mesh. IS mature notary of wealth, M. Goutfe. In order to rob him she conspired with a second mature admirer, Michael Eyraud a druggist, and the two rigged up pulley and cord in Mile. Bompard's apartments. When Goutfe visited her she sat on his lap and playfuliy passed her belt around his neck. Eyraud, who was concealed behind curtain, stepped up and hitched the rope to the belt, and then they hoisted the old man up and choked him to death. Eyraud fled, and months afterward was tracked to Havana by letter he had written to Gabrielle. He was dogged in New York by Parisian detective, aud Eyraud, who possessed great magnetic power, is said to have frustrated, temporarily, the pursuit by mesmerizng the detectives. However, he was at last extradited and taken to Paris for trial. Mlle Bompard tried to put up the novel plea that Eyraud was a hypnotizer, and that he had influenced her, against her will, to assist ill the mur- der. Eyraud is condemned to the guillo- tine-from which sentence he has appeal ed (probably in vaiu) to the court of cassa- tion and Mile. Bompard is sentenced to twenty years in prison.

Or the real estate operations of Chauncey B. Ripley, formerly of this county, the local papers of Union County, New Jersey, say as follows, quoting from the Eliza6eth Daily Journal of Dec. 18th:

 Quite right, esteemed contemporary, but real estate agents and owners in Westield say that the merits of the property, together with the low prices, have largely to do with the rapid sale of lots on Ripley Hill.- Union Co. Standard.
 The latest railroad scheme in Connceti- cut is to parallel about thirty miles of the New London Northern. The idea is to give the New York and New England sys tenn tide water terminus in eastern Con- necticut corresponding with the Wilson Point terminus at Norwalk. The New London Northern follows the west bank of the Thames from New London northward to Norwich and then strikes north westerly to Willimantic. On the east side of the Thames the New England system reaches down to Allyn's Point, and going on down the river, it is only six miles to deep water at Groton Opposite New London) and a connection with the Shore Line. Going north from Allyn's Point, the tracks reach Norwich, and there Is a branch to Taftville. Striking northward from Taftville, four miles of now track will reach Versailles, on the Providence division of the New England. The map shows by this new line the haul from Willimantio to deep water at Groton would be about the same as from Willimantic to New London by way of the New London Northern road. It will be possible for the New England people to build this under the general railroad law, but it is possible that some special privileges will be asked from the legislature.
