 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Sir-A deep sense of the obligation am under to Dr. Damon and associated physi- clans and the earnest hope that relation of my experience may lead some other sufferers to avail themselves of the almost miraculous skill of these doctors impels me to write this letter and request its publication.
 For fifteen years have been an invalid and cannot remember @ day that I was trouble and apparently every nerve in my body was involved; for months was un- der medical treatment, receiving no bene- fit whatever, only temporary relief from the use of morphine; then my digestion became impaired and for years dyspepsia in it's most virtulent forms has been my lot.
 Of course my general system suffered. I lost vitality, and nervous prostration and general debility came, bringing weeks and months of wretched days and sleep less nights, and have been confined to my bed fully one half of the time since my first illness. During the first year our local physicians gave me up in despair and frankly acknowledged that they could do nothing for me. Other relief was sought and my father impoverished him- self to pay doctor and medicine bills, and to o-day is poor man because of my sick ness. have been treated by nearly every prominent physician in Connecticut.

 Known People in COurt-The COun-

 The court room was crowded yesterday morning when Judge Prentice took his seat on the bench, as it was expected that the second phase in the quo warranto pro- ceedings would be enacted.

 Governor Bulkeley with his counsel, Attorney Cole, and Lieutenant Governor Merwin with his Sheriff Gates. After a short time Attorney Case asked Judge Prentice if he would entertain g motion in reference to the quo warranto, and upon receiving an affirmative answer Attorney
 Your honor, we have outlined the form of our answer in the case against Governor Bulkeley, but that is all Lieutenant Governor Merwin' s case is paramount to Governor Bulkeley's, be- cause ms interest IS so HuCn greater, ana we think it would be advisable for the attorneys for both defendants to have an opportunity to con suit together, which we have not yet had. l would therefore suggest that the time for the return of the answer be extended for two weeks. Attorney Case in urging the motion made by Attorney Cole said: T appear more especially for Lieutenant Governor Merwin and am assocf- ated with Henry C. Robinson in the case. It was impossible for MT. Robinson to be here to-day on account of previous engagement and have had very little time since was notified that should appear in the case to prepare the papers on ac- count of engagements previously made I shall not have time to attend to them until next Tues day and think under these circumstances that for.''

 ley, Painter, Takes an Overdose
 of Strychntne-A Chance for Life.
 Willard L. Ripley, forty-eight years of age, residing at 32 Gibbs street, was found yesterday afternoon in an unconscious con- dition on State street, near Bishops gate. Officer McDermott was notified and the patrol wagon summoned ,and Ripley taken to the hospital. While on the way to the hospital Ripley recovered conscious ness and told the officers who he was. At the hospital he told the doctors that his condition was due to an overdose of strychnine pills which he had been in the habit of taking for rheumatism. He said that about 2 o'clock in the morning he took half dozen of these. He suffered with convulsions and rigidity of the mus cles, peculiarity of strychnine poisoning, and at late hour was reported to be in a precarious condition. His wife said that he had been afflicted with rheumatism and piles ever since he returned from the war, and that 6 bottle containing 100 of these pills had been missing for 6 week.
 He rad been in the habit of drinking somewhat periodically and coupled with this fact despondency of late leads to the impression that the act was done with suicid al intentions. He had two children, @ girl of seventeen and . boy of twelve years of age. At late hour last night he was more comfortable and the hospital doctors thought he had good chances for recovering. He is hardwood finisher and has been in the employ of R. B. Brad ley & Go.

WANTED HIS CHILD.

A Father Traces His Truant Wife
 to This City Found Her With
 Another Man - She Said He Was
 Dead.
 Last evening James Jackson, painter mailing from Hartford, but being employed in this city for the past few days, came into the police station to make complaint to City Attorney Daley about his wife. He said that she had eloped about three weeks ago from Hartford with a man whose name he supposed to be Patrick Kelley, taking with her their six-year-old daughter. It was the daughter that Jack son wanted and not the wife. MT. Daley told him he had the right of taking her wherever he found her within the state. Jackson said that he had traced his wife from Hartford to Middletown, from there to New Britain and then to this city. While out walking in the hill district last evening his daughter ran out from house and met him and later his wife was ar rested and finally concluded to go back and live with her husband, taking the child along.

The Veteran School Teacher John E. Lowell Visits the Building Named in His Honor-Cheered by the Pupils.
 A pleasing little episode occurred yes terday at the Lowell school. This was caused by visit from the veteran teacher, John E. Lowell, who yesterday began his ninety seventh year. He was accompanied by his son-in-law, MT. White, and by H. w. Mansfield and Horace Day, secretary of the board of education. These gentle men called upon MT. Lowell in the morn ing at the New Haven house, where he has been staying, to take him out for drive. Upon MT. Lovell's expressing a wish to see the school named in his honor the visit was made. Arriving at the school build ing on the corner of Lawrence and Nash streets they were met by Principal French, and MT. Lowell was escorted into the main hall. Here MT. French summoned the 500 scholars of the school from the twelve rooms, who received MT. Lowell with cheers as hearty as their fathers would have done. The aged teacher was helped upon chair and spoke few words, ex- pressing his heartfelt thanks for so cordial reception. MT. Day also made an ad- dress, after which the children sang Amer ica and were dismissed.
 MT. Lowell was shown about the build ing and was not little pleased. Then the party drove to the cottage on Orange street where Mr. Lowell resided for years. This was the first time he had visited his old home in many years. He made call upon Mrs. Davis, who bought the property and 1Ixroo {ha, &a1r H. to the New Haven house. He left for Waterbury in the afternoon. He seemed in better health yesterday than year ago, for completing century. While his hear ing and eyesight are not the best, his men tai faculties have much of their old-time keenness.
 At the banquet the day before the mat ter was brought up and discussed favora- bly of admitting ladies who were Lancas- terian scholars to membership in the Lan casterian School association and at re- union. There are quite number of ladies in the city who were once pupils of the veteran teacher and have expressed de- sire to join the association, and it is quite probable they will be.
