sold, Mrs Bennett applied for and OBJ
tanned divorce with alimony, which she
was unable to obtain until about three
years ago, when final settlement was
negotiated through Lawyer G. Ii. North
rop. For 20 years, Mr. Bennett has had
no home, but worked at his trade, lived
here and there till November, 1889. Since,
his home has been at Mrs Adde Nichols

The trial of Willis A. Strong, FL. E..
Minor and G. E. Trowbridge, selectmen,
and Roderick Atwood, Charles and Mrs
Warner, all of whom were charged with
manslaughter in causing the death of
Caroline Meramble, began, Wednesday,
in the Superior court at New Haven.
This woman was a pauper, aged 80 years
and, December %, was transported from
Woodbury. to New Haven, a distance OF
26 miles, in a beach wagon while the
thermometer was 20 above zero. When
she arrived at the hospital, Mrs Meram-
bles thigh was broken, but no one seems
to know how the injury was caused. She
died at the hospital two days after her ar
rival. e. D. Atwood, the young man
who carried the old woman, said that Mrs
Meramble complained once of the dis
lance which she was obliged TO ride and
that, when she was removed from the
wagon and taken into the hospital, she
moaned considerably. Medical Exami-
ner White testified that the woman's left
hip bone was broken, that there was
great sore patches on her back and legs
and that in his opinion the Woman's death
was fastened by want and exposure.
Miss Caroline Carson and Mrs Quintard,
nurses at the hospital, testified that Mrs
Meramble was in filthy condition when
brought to the hospital. DR. Henry >.
Hartman of Woodbury. testified that ne
had treated Mrs Meramble for filthy
disease 10 years ago and that there were

Germany has decided to remove the
embargo which she has so long maintain
ed against our hog products, while at the
same time careful investigation indicates
very large shortage in the wheat crops
of the European wheat growing and ex-
porting countries. 1t is unnecessary to
say that these things promise immeas-
urable benefits to the farmers of this
country and to the general business in
terests of the country as well. The wheat
report of our own government is very IA
vorable. The new crop has all the chances
of growth yet to face, but already the
operators are betting on it. Grain has
gone up so much of late and the foreign
outlook is so poor that if the American
crop equals present possibilities, it will
mean about $3.50, 100000 more for this
country in 1891 than was received for
food last wear.
