prised when they heard the verdict, as
found by Coroner Taintor, as to the
cause of the death of the two children
who We're killed by an express train on
the New England road, while crossing
the tracks near the depot, about a
month ago. He finds that the children
by locomotive, and that said deaths
were not caused by the criminal act or
negligence of any person. That this
veidict is a surprise would be to express
the feelings of the residents of the town
mildly. They are Disguised with the
coroner and the verdict and are anx-
iously clamoring for the removal of the
crossing which is a veritable death trap.

CRAZY ACTS OF A JAIL PRISONER.
Patrick Flanagan Tantalized by Another
Murderer.

Murderer.
Angelo Petrillo, who is charged with
the murder of his brother-in-law,
Michael Dimeo, is the object of special
attention on the part of the New Haven
Jail officials now. In some unknown
manner Petrillo got possession of some
matches and secreted them in his cell.
A few days ago he made use of the
matches by setting fire to his bedtick.
The close guard kept on the prisoners
actions saved Petrillo from being
burned up probably. One of the Off
Gals discovered the blaze and had it ex-
tinguished before the flames had made
much Roadway. About all the damage
that could be done would be the possible
cremation of Petrillo.. The Jail was in
no danger, for Petrillo was walled in
with stone. Patrick Flanagan of this
city, who is to be hanged next year, oc-
cupies cell adjoining Petrillo. The
Italian in his flighty moments tries to
torment the condemned man. He at
tracts Flanagan's attention and then
goes through a series of pantomime acts
representing the hangman putting the
rope around Flanagan's neck, etc.

The Wholesale Dealers

they sell at the same price and get one
quarter of cent profit per pound.
KELLY thought that price too high and
went into the jobbing business, buying
sugar in carloads direct from the refiners.
The result is that Kelly has compelled the
wholesalers to adopt his method.
But KELLY can go the wholesalers one
better. He buys in car lots and has his
sugar delivered direct to Waterbury. The
wholesalers store their sugar in New Ha-
ven or Bridgeport and have to pay two
feight bills and double carriage.
KELLY further says before the city ex-
ponds large sum in the purchase of
parks it would be well to secure few
more seats for the green.

One of the most fourishing manufac- turing concerns in the city is the New Ha- ven Chair company, of which the New Haven Rattan company is branch. Few people have any idea of the extent and variety of chairs that are manufactured by this company. A variety of rolling chairs for invalids has become celebrated in this and other cities. It is said that one of these chairs, made as long ago as 1864 for Judge Blackman, is still in use. This would indicate that they are made with great deal of care and for long service. Over 20, 900 of this style of chair have been made. This is one of the oldest establish ments in town and has had therefore the
 result of long experience. During the great rage that folding chairs had few
 years ago, this firm manufactured about 40, 900 year. To-day the fancy plush
 chair is the leading style, and thousands of them are made every month. They are located in commodious apartments at 55E State street, where the products of both factories are offered at retail. They art now making special holiday prices. Now is fine opportunity to obtain an elegan chair for Christmas gift.

 Will for Negro Educational Pur-
 poses.
 Judge Luzon B. Morris is named in the will of Daniel Hand, the philanthropist whose funeral occurred Saturday in Gull ford, as the sole executor and trustee of the estate, which it is estimated will amount to $500 1000. In case Judge Morris dies or resigns, Wilbur F. Day, president of the New Haven bank, is named as his successor, and in case anything should prevent Mir. Day from acting, MT. George A Butler, president of the Tradesman's bank, is named as the next man, and after him Louis H. Bristol, the attorney.
 The will itself is of unusual length, con- taining over one hundred pages of manu- script. MT. Hand has left a large number of bequests to the immediate relatives of his family, while the residuary fund he di- rects shall go to the Daniel Hand educa- tional fund for the colored people of the south. It is estimated that the amount which will eventually go to this fund will be in the nslahborhood of $250, ,000, which is additional to the former munifcent gift of S1 1000, 900.

FRANCE AND BULGARIA.

The Latter Government Supported by
 Germany in Her Attitude in the
 Chadouine Affair - The Portess
 Answer to France's Demand.
 PARIS, Dec. 20.-M. Herbette, French minister at Berlin, has advised Minister Ribot that the German government sup ports Bulgaria in her attitude in the Chadouine affair and holds that M. Stam- buloff had no option but to act as he did and that France is not justified in the rupture of relations with Bulgaria. the affair, however, will not alter M. Ribot's policy, which is approved by the whole cabinet. A forecast of M. Ribot's statement to be made in the cham Der of deputies in reply to M. Millevoyes' interpolation, has been given. The min ister will maintain the illegality of the ar rest and expulsion of Chsdouine and will assert that the general hostility of the Bull garian government was shown in the watching of the residence of M. Lanole, the French charge d'affaires. He will an nounce the determination of France not to submit to the violation of treaty rights.
 In regard to the note sent to the French ambassador to Turkey, instructing him to present demands to the porte for an spol- ogy from Bulgaria and that she be made to rescind the order of expulsion against Chadouine, semi-oficisl advices from Con stantinople, it is said, declare the porte will reply that the matter is an internal affair of Bulgaria, which does not come under the jurisdiction of the suzerain, and as France only applied to the. porte after the rupture it is impossible now to interfere. The re- port that M. Ribot has recalled all the French consuls in Bulgaria is premature. The government does not desire to precipi- tate events. The foreign office is drafting treaty of commerce between the United States and France. It is expected that an important announcement on the subject will soon be published. The matter will be carried on very quickly.

 less acquiesce in the action of the house and adjourn Wednesday over the holidays The obsequies of the late senator, with the few remarks of sympathetic regret usual on such occasions, will probably occupy the time of the senate up to the beginning of the recess, and the only matter of busi- ness that can come before the house mean time is appointment of the committees if the speaker is able to complete his lists by Wednesday morning.
