WAS IT A MIRACLES

18lc OI OnV8T nIBuco " aCtss
 The following story of suffering and cure, as it fell from the lips of Miss Frieda Overkehr, living at Ar Davenport avenue, will be of interest to every invalid who has tried in vain to regain their health.
 She says: For several years have been sufferer with complication of diseases, principally with my lungs, heart and stomach. Everyone thought was nearly gone with consumption. My lungs were very sore and inflamed. coughed dread fully, oftentimes all night. My heart caused much distress and could not eat, as food produced fearful suffering.
 Several of our local doctors did their best, but all failed to help me. l gave up in despair, and I fully believed my days upon earth were numbered.
 When I saw Dr. Damon, at the earnest solicitation of friends, had no idea he could cure me, but thought perhaps he might give me little relief from suffering. The doctor took my hand in his and in few moments he had located all my dis ease, describing them even better than could to him, This inspired great conf dence, ,as I found in him a man of superior
 abilities.
 He then told me he would cure me, and
 we'll has he kept his word. Not vestige
 of my old troubles are left. lam feeling ~o A "OAe@AAf AA'y creased greatly, so that I cannot wear
 dresses wore when I began treatment, and feel so thankful to Dr. Damon and his associates that want to tell the whole world of my miraculous restoration to good, sound health. I would be glad to tell anyone personally of my case if they will call upon me at any time.
 Note-Miss Overkehr is a well-known lady, dressmaker by trade, and it is fact that she was obliged to give up her work as the disease had made such inroads upon her health that she could not con- tinue it. As many told her that cures made thus quickly could not last, she de- cided to wait several months to test it her self Finding that she is permanently | cured she is now anxious for other suffer CTS to know where they can find relief, and so asks that her statement be made public. | Several people who are knowing to the l above facts insist that this cure is nothing | short of 8 miracle, as no one expected she ! would ever be able to resume her labors | again. Dr. Damon can be consulted free
 at 92S Chapel street from 10 a. m. to 5 p.
 m. daily.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING

Of Lawyers Representing Marginal
 Holders of Stocks Placed by BunnelI
 X Scranton.
 An interesting and important meeting was held yesterday in this city in reference to the large amount of stocks held in New York on margin by Prince & Whitely and Lawson & Co.,, which were placed by Bunnell & Scranton with those firms at the order of various New Haven patrons. The object of the meeting was to obtain 8 concert of action to the end of protecting the interests of New Haveners holding those stocks from disaster if possible, the end desired being to concentrate the 1iti- gation in Connecticut. The following lawyers were present: Judge Lynde Harri- son, filling & Webb, H. G. Newton, AL bert Wheeler, David Strouse. Trustee E. G. Stoddard was also present. The con- ference was held in the office of Bristol, Stoddard & Bristol, and was held to ar range for unison of action regarding what court it would be most expedient to take the cases to.
 The bringing of cases directly against Prince & Whiteley and Lawson & Go. was under discussion. These suits brought against Prince & Whiteley are regarded as endangering the interest of the marginal holders of these stocks, as those firms know Ou1y DuAACAA ~ SSAoAVOA III OAO GkduS6C- tions in question and rather than be sub jected to litigation in the matter, would probably take advantage of their rights under the New York stock exchange rules and sell the stocks in question at auction for what they will bring. To head this off some arrangements of an amicable nature which shall protect holders of the securi- ties is desired. The general opinion of the meeting, in the case was that it was best to avoid this snag which threatens the question and avoid any sacrificing of those interests. An effort will no doubt be made to get the direct suits against the New York brokers withdrawn.
 PRESS DISPATCH REGARDING PRINCE &
 wHrTELY.
 NEW YORK, May 29.-Referring to the failure of Messrs. Bunnell & Scranton of New Haven, Nessrs. Prince & Whitely emphatically deny being in any way re- sponsible for that firms reverses. On the other hand they claim that the securities they hold against Bunnen & Scranton are amply protected.

 With such an attractive program as we are promised at the Wall testimonial at the Hyperion next Wednesday night the house ought to be filled to repletion.
