We, your committee, to whom was re-
ferred the proposition of Mr.. Watrous and

or grant the franchise to individuals?
Only with such information can you act

VETERAN FIREMEN.

How the Association is Progressing
 The Coming Twelfth Annual Ball.
 New Years ReceptiOn-Funeral Aid
 Veteran Firemen's League.
 At the Veteran Firemen's association re- cent meeting there was large attendance and much spirit was manifested in discuss by the committee on ways and means, of which Charles Doty, ST., of old engine 10, is chairman, T. A. Cooper of engine 6 sec- retary and c. c. Hall of engine treasurer. After the general routine of business was disposed of the question of giving New Years reception was discussed. Charles Doty, jr., ex-president of the "Sons' Asso- ciation," was present and told the veterans that the "Sons" desired to unite with them and do the honors of Happy New Year to their friends. Ex-Assistant Engineer J. A. Monson warmly advocated the plan, as did many of the veterans. It was voted to unite with the "Sons" and keep open house on New Years day, and to invite all the friends of the Veteran and Sons asso- citation to call at g Insurance building and quaf the long life to the remaining red shirted heroes of the old Volunteer Fire department. Their members are growing less every week. During the past week Veteran Charles Atwater of engine and
 Veteran Edward Bromley, ex-foreman of engine 10 have departed, and the fond
 memories that clustered around their the "Old Relief" and the "Gallant Pea
 cock" have now passed into history. The association voted unanimously to give their twelfth annual ball, and the ways and means committee were instruct | ed to proceed with the arrangements. The l ball was given last year in Warner hall,
 and the veterans and their families, though in the autum of life showed they had some idea of the spring time.
 The committee on cases of illness re-
 ported E. D. Nettleton of engine No. 5 and
 Calvin Downs of engine No. 6, as very sick. Veteran Downs has an incurable
 disease and his journey to those silent
 camping grounds will not be long. l Secretary Corbusier of the Veterans
 Funeral Aid of the New England Veteran Firemen's League reports the membership | in the aid as increasing. There has been

The BIackmafling Case.

When the case of Sidney Coe and wife, the colored couple, charged with an at tempt at blackmailing J. D. Dewell, came up in the city court yesterday morning, Assistant City Attorney Dow asked for a continuance for one week, which was granted.
 It appears that Mrs. Coe was unwillingly forced into the scheme by her husband. Superintendent of Police Smith met the woman few evenings ago. She was then on the way to Mir. Dewell's office, sent there by her husband. When told the na- ture of the information which the police had of the affair she told the whole story, and consented to aid the police in the cap ture of her husband, who, she claimed, had held a knife over her and threatened to kill her if she did not obey his commands. It was arranged that she put the next let ter which she was commanded to write by her husband in a letter addressed to Super intendent Smiths house. This letter was written Wednesday and received by Super 1ntendent Smith according to the program.
 When this letter was received the police proceeded to make the capture as previous ly reported.
 At one time the police were anxious to know if one of Goes two daughters was in the scheme, but on inquiry they were located in Bridgeport.
 About year ago Lizzie, one of the daughters. married horse doctor from Boston, who proved to be bigamist.
 As far as known to the police Coe has received about $500, as the result of his playing the badger game. One of Goes sons recently visited him in the lookup.
 At the sight of his father he burst into tears and said: "Now, see what you're done. I don't dare to be seen on the street."
 f:I ain't done nothing" said the old man sullenly, and then stopped talking
 Coe is about sixty-five years old and has run through quite sum of money in his lifetime. His first wife was white woman by whom he had four or five children His brother is Charles Coe of Cedar street, whose second marriage was noted in the COURIER Wednesday. Coe married his second wife, the woman now under arrest, about six months ago. She was servant in family on Trumbull street, and was we'll liked and thought great deal of. She had about $500 in her own name. Coe repre- sented that he was worth $5,O00, and obtained her consent to the marriage. Afterward, it is said, he succeeded in get ting hold of his wife's portion and running it through.

THE WORD OF A WOMAN.
Mrs. Gilman of Boston Told the Truth and Nothing but

Mrs. Gilman of Boston Told the
 Truth and Nothing but
 the Truth.
 It seems that an interview with Mary E. Gilman, recently published by the Boston Globe, has made Mrs. Gilman no little trouble. But she is apparently glad to reiterate all she has said, most emphatically. Now she writes this letter, and it is interesting: To the Editor of the Globe-The inter view you printed, where my statement was made public, has created quite a stir. Everybody wanted to know if it was true. could make but one answer, yes.
 One person, will not call him @ man, came to me and asked what the reporters name was. I told him that I didn't ask. Then this person remarked that he sup posed made $25 on the statement.
 My answer was
 "Yes, twenty times that amount in health and strength. For hundred times that sum would not be back where I was before used Paine's celery compound"
 What you stated was true, every word, and nothing but the truth.
 Yours respectfully,
 4Byron Court, Egleston Square.
 For the benefit of those who did not see Mrs. Gilman's statement, continues the Globe, it is reprinted herewith: F
 "For years I have been great sufferer, so that could not stand or walk without intense agony, my veins swelling out like great whip cords. I have always worn rubber bandage, but when took it off to relieve my limbs the torture was almost unbearable.
 "I tried everything, but could get no relief until I used Paines celery com pound. That entirely cured me some months ago, and since then have had no re- turn of pain or swelling, can walk and stand as we'll as anyone, and have worn no bandage or support. hope other suffer CTS will hear of this compound and gain relief"
 Dr. A. W. K. Newton, one of the physi- clans who examined her, told Globe re porter that this woman was undoubtedly completely cured of her trouble. The doc tor also spoke freely in favor of Paine's celery compound, saying that he often pre- scribed the remedy, and found it of great value in rheumatism, blood diseases, and all weakened or nervous conditions.

The strongest features were Richmond Terminal and Chicago Gas, the former making a gain of 1B and the latter of 4. Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific were exceptionally weak, the former declining per cent The rest of the list was comparatively neglected and the volume of business was much smaller than yesterday. The movement in Richmond Terminal was apparent ly due to pending contest for control between factions in the directory.

His Neglect to Pay His Assessments

 Causes 1t to Lapse.
 Leander H. Jaycox, the respected old Hartford fireman, who died on the 29th ult., was one of the oldest members of the Masonic Mutual Benefit association, and his wife and daughter, who survive him, would have received about SLIGO (as he was member Of both classes), provided he had paid his last assessment, which came due October 26. He had failed to pay, however.
 The amount of the assessment was sub- sequently rendered by his wife, but it could not be received, as the rules of the association prevented. The directors, after due consideration, held a meeting to consider the case, and authorized Secre- tary Morley to have statement sent out to each member of the association, with a request for a voluntary contribution of an amount equal to an assessment, or any part thereof, for the benefit of Mrs. Jay COX, the amount so collected to be paid over to her. The members have received the secretary's appeal, and most, if not all, will undoubtedly respond favorably. The regular assessment for both classes to each member would be S6.6
