Ths straass STORY Of Phantom Trsir

II was fifteen years ago that thret
young men. Hermann Eokman, Henry
Dean and myself. alighted just at dusk
from northern bound train at the lit,
tie village Of W, says writer In
the Boston Globe
Hermann was q physician, very
plain-spoken and practical Henry
and myself were more Bohemian, being,
as we were. struggling artists. await
ing the slow step OF fame aud fortune.
We were bound for the town OF s.,
three miles distant where We were TO
meet some friends and while away q
few days Of October in duck shooting.
After making some inquiries we
found that the stage would wait for
passengers on the southern bound ex-
press, matter Of about an hour.
You might take the old spur, sug-
gested the agent II you amt afraid Of
tho walk. II Is part OF the old track
down to the quarries but il Is straight

ten years" .. .. ... ..
For few minutes we walked in ST.
lence, Hermann taking long pulls at
his cigar and seeming absorbed In
meditation. .
II was beautiful night. clear and
little colo. The moon had not yet
risen, but the stars were SO bright that
We hardly missed the serene little old
lady. ... ........ ....
Suddenly long shrill whistle
sounded just beyond the cut which
doomed on either side OF the track.
Thought they didn't use this road, +"
said l. -..... .. ... ....
On the main line. perhaps, replied
Henry.
Another whistle nearer still, put his
theory to rout, moment later the
head light appeared in the end of the
cut
We stepped to one side and held on
our hats, while with roar the train
swept by followed by a cloud of dust.
'BoysP could that be Hermaun's
voice. Boys do you know wha.
we've done?" His face was pale, and
like marble statue he stood pointing
at the track.

laughed the indomitable Harry, fol-
lowing the direction Of the doctors
finger.
He knelt quickly and examined the
track; then raising a CHASTITY face TO
the starlight, he exclaimed In husky
whisper, NO rails"
just then we heard again the long.
melancholy whistle OF the train, and
from distance it was repeated tremu-
lousy by some belated echo.
The silence Of an October night in
the middle OF railroad cut, surround
ed BY black, mysterious pine trees
with their gaunt, misshapen shadows,
and the cold, cold stars above, In not
calculated to be very composing to the
nerves especially after seeing a phan-
tom train.
The rank weeds growing between
the rotting sleepers seemed to snatch

When we reached S, and, seated
by comfortable fire, related our ex.
perience. our friends were inclined TO
laugh, thinking we were trying some
practical joke. But the next day
came a telegram for Hermann, stating
that his brother was dead, killed By
the express the evening before, and
ending with two pathetic 1T words,

Court Notes.

END OF FAMOUS THREAD SUIT. Judge E. S. Green in the United States court, has signed an order which dismissss the big suit
 brought by the Willimantic Linen company against the Clark Thread works for the infringe mont on patents on the process of winding thread on spools. The amount involved is $162, 900. The suit has been pending for many years. The late Judge Nixon on July 90, 1886, gave an opinion which adjudged the Clarks guilty of infringe. ment and ordered execution to the amount of $15s soa5.a2. The case was appealed to the United States supreme court, where Judge Nixon, for the first time in his career suffered a reversal. The supreme court issued an order dismissing the bill of the Willimantic company and taxing them costs.

THE COURT RECORD.
Probate COurt-Judge Robertson.

Probate COurt-Judge Robertson.
 The hearing upon the application of
 Town Agent Garrity for the com
 mitment of Dr. Chesley to the Mid
 dletown insane asylum on the ground of
 mental incapacity came up yesterday morn
 ing. Those present at the hearing were
 Dr. Chesley, Town Agent Garrity, Select
 man Fleischner, Superintendent Sanford,
 Dr. M. c. White, Agent Preston and Webb
 Scranton, the latter in the interest of Dr.
 Chesley. The doctor was the most pitiable
 object, being hardly able to walk in con
 sequence of paralytic shock which has
 affected his left side. His right hand was
 also done up in bandages.
 When Judge Robertson opened the case Superintendent Sanford told the court that Dr. Chesley was not represented by coun-
 sel, and had concluded to make compro- mise with the town agent. Dr. Chesley
 had offered, he said, if the case was continued, to pack up his things and leave town for New Hampshire where he had
 relatives. In view of that fact the town
 Tng ths 6ht hs be made long speech in which he agreed, if the case was continued, to leave town within two weeks.
 Judge Robertson declined to recognize any agreement between Dr. Chesley and the town but decided that as Dr. Chesley had secured no lawyer he would continue the case to October z, at which time if Dr. Chesley had not left town he must appear for trial with his counsel. He therefore entered an order directing that
 Dr. Dr.. Chssley y might mig go to his sz Washington he desired under the direction of the town agent. Dr. Chesley endeavored to induce the judge to permit him to live in his old home without the oversight of the town authorities and be free from restraint in collecting his bills and packing his goods. The judge left the case entirely in the hands of the town agent to let Dr. Chelsey visit his Washington street home any length of time he sought fit. The doctor offered to furnish bonds for his return to the almshouse in two weeks if he did not go away, but this was denied him.
 The doctor appeared very rational and after leaving the court room Attorney Arthur Wright, who was present, approached pr. Chelsey and offered to act as counsel for him if he did not succeed in leaving town in two weeks.

Sept. 23.-The Woman's Christian Temperance union of the Shelton Methodist church are highly ncensed over the action of the prohibition party Of the town of Huntington at their caucus Mon day evening. One of the blanks in the platform which was adopted by the prohibition party that evening denounced the present officers of the town as neglecting their duties the mo license" question and even winking at the actions of the saloonkeepers who sold intoxicants openly for six weeks after the town election. As there are one or two honorary members of the W. C.. T. U. holding town offices, principally among them being Judge Tomlnson and Grand Juror Hubbard, who, the ladies claim, are honest and upright church members and strong temperance men, and who would not allow such things if in their power to prevent.
