BRIDGEPORT.

The contest as to who was elected first

held In October came on trial before
Judge Phelps, Saturday, November 20.
Orville 5. Mallett, the petitioner, was
represented by Attorney Richard c. AM
bier and the respondent by Attorney
Stiles Judson, Jr. The attorney for the
petitioner endeavored to bring the
petition before Judge Robinson, who is
now sitting in Bridgeport, but the time
OF the judge is so taken up with cases al
ready assigned that he suggested that
the matter be brought before Judge
Phelps.
Attorney Judson entered a demurrer
to the petition, asking that the petition
be dismissed because Of not being suflic.
lent in the law. The demurrer was over
ruled by the judge. The chief point de
cided by the demurrer is that on the is
sue there joined, viz: Mr. Mallett had 9s
votes and Mr. Nichols 105 votes on ont

French 81 votes on the other ballot; MI

facts in the petition which had been be-

alleging, as further defense, that the
ballot box had not been properly sealed

Cyrus n. BrinsmBde, the moderator
testified that when the box was handed
him by the counters that he unlocked
the box, placed the slide in the lid an(
re-locked the box, but did not seal thu

seal it with and then handed it to the
town clerk. When the slide was placed
in the lid, nothing could be placed in OF

The judge ordered the box to be open

WHY DIAMONDS SPARKLE.
An Invention Which Greatly Enhancel
the Beauty of the Gems.

tne beauty OF tue peihss
Many persons have been puzzled to
account for the ceaseless motion of
diamonds in the earrings worn by
ladies. 1t makes no difference that the
head of the wearer is in perfect repose,
and that she is speeches., the twink
ling goes on, greatly enhancing the
flashing beauty of the gem.
The secret of this motion is in the
setting of the diamond, and the method
is patented. The patentee is reaping a
royalty of fifty dollars from every
manufacturing ieweler to whom he
sells the privilege of using it. The
stone is set in the usual manner, ex-
cept that band like the handle of a
diminutive basket is attached to the
frame work.
On the other side of the band is a
cup-like cavity. On the lower part of
the hoop is a pin, pointed with rhodium
"a metal which never wears out
something like the iridium with which
gold pens are tipped.
When the diamonds are put into posi-
ton on the hoop the rhodium point pro-
iects into the cup. The result is what
scientists call a condition of unstable
equilibrium. Like the pea blown with
pipe by a hool-boy, the diamond is
given no rest, with the difference that
no effort is required to keep it dancing.

SALT AS A DISSIPATION.
Perilous Effect of Its Excessive Use on
the Center Sex.

tHo NehJlbE SEA-
Salt, the least harmful of condiments,
If such a necessary article of diet can
be termed condiment, is by the medi-
cal profession recognized as a species Of
dissipation in its excessive use among
many women. Every one knows how
fiat and flavorless all food becomes
when the system is trifie deranged; it
is just then, when men resort to bitters
and burning sauces to tone up their
jaded appetites, that women find their
sole recourse in the apparently inno-
cent salt cruet. 1t is the old story of
giving an inch to yield an ell, and be-
fore the victim knows it her palate de-
mands a double or triple quantity of
the mineral to SAVIOR every morsel she
eats. Some go so far as to salt not only
the substantial dishes, but tea, coffee,
fruit, nuts, sweetmeats and wine.
They begin by taking pinch extra
now and then to pique their tastes, and
before long steal bit to keep in the
pocket, or buy crystal to nibble on
the sly. Natures revenge on her weak
daughter is as insidious as the result
her immutable laws have suffered. She
flies her first signals of distress in
deadening of the skin, replacing the
pink glow of health by dim, yellowish
pallor. Lips and cheeks blanch alike,
this change being accompanied by a
deepening of every shadow on the face,
This is as nothing, however, to the de-
struction this morbid habit works on a
woman's browning glory, her hair.
And it is astonishing how sensitive the
the hair is to every fluctuation of ones
health. Soon, each time the comb
passes through it brings great handfuls
of long, shining strands. No lotion or
tonic is effective in checking the loss,
and, unless corrected, the abnormal
amount of salt in the system will pro-
duce partial badness. Even now quite
number of women are under treat
ment, some avowedly and others Sc
cretly for this form of excess. Illus
