every bill.

ing to commit rape on Mrs. Phoebe G.

quest of the defendant.
The trial of Patrick J. Mckinney of c.
dar street, who is charged with pushing
Josephine Breslin down stairs at Moody's
saloon in Fair street about two months
since, will occur in the city court this

will be able to appear against him.
The cases against Timothy McDermott,

THE CAMP-PEARsALL CASE.
The famous case of Mrs. Sarah E. Camp
against the Widow Pearsall, both of Wa
| terbury, has been privately settled, and
| was stricken off the court list Saturday.
The terms of the settlement are private,
and, as both attorneys in the case live at
Waterbury, nothing definite could be
learned. The probability, though, is that
the widow paid some money to Mrs.
Camp.
