SAA6 - forTen Years-An Enecting
 Scene in the Court Roouu-He Can
 Get Twenty Months Rebate for
 Good Conduct.
 Yesterday morning State Attorney Doo- little made the closing argument for the state in the murder trial of George Battis of Wallingford, who is accused of murder in the second degree in killing Charles P. Lombra December 12, 1892, in Walling ford. Prior to State Attorney Doolittle's argument, the arguments of the defense where made by Attorneys Hall and New ton. Then followed the charge by the judge. and shortly before o'clock the case was given to the jury.- The jury remained out over three hours, returning at o'clock with verdict of guilty of manslaughter.
 Before the jury came in the widow of Lombrs, who had been attending the trial throughout dressed in deep mourning, left the court room. Battis and his wife sat independently silent. Mrs. Battis held 8 child two years old, and little fellow about five years old tried to amuse himself and yet observe the prescribed decorum 
 in he pointed to some vacant chairs and said. "See, papa" Everyone in the court room leaned forward to catch the words of the foreman of the jury: "Guilty of man. slaughter" Lawyer Newton was at once on his feet and argued the previous good character of the defendant and asked that the sentence be made as light as possible.
 Judge Fenn said: 'sIt seemed to me that the jury should have brought in verdict of murder in the second degree, as found by the grand jury. The penalty for man. slaughter is a fine not exceeding $1,OO0, and imprisonment for not more than ten
 years. therefore sentence the defendant
 to fine of $1 and imprisonment for ten years."
 Battis' wife bowed her head and began
 to weep violently, In her grief she was
 compelled to hand the child over to her husband. Battis, too. broke down, but his grief was more constrained. The children either didn't understand or weeping had been too common of late for them even to cry in sympathy. In this way they left the court room with friends trying to console them, under the curious gaze of the spec tators.
 On his way back to the jail Battis said to the attendant that he did not care SC much for himself, but his wife was
 entirely dependent upon him for sup port and his children must grown up un der the shadow of his disgrace. He wal
 beginning to command very comfortabl. wages and with his family life had seemed 1 very bright for him.
 He will be taken to the state prison ir
 about three weeks with the other prison ] CTS convicted at this term of the court By good conduct he can get twent, months rebate from his sentence. 1 His attorneys have decided not to appeal

 NEW YORK, April 14. The opening prices were in almost cases 4 to $ per cent. lower. Early dealings saw slight improvement along the line, but only in coalers and the industrials was there anything like animation and the important movements were confined to a few of them. Am ong the special ties Ontario and Western became prominent, stimulated by rumors of Vanderbilt investments in the road and its connection with the proposed confederation of New York railroads, but this movement, as the succeeding one in the coal stocks was short-lived, though it at tained ma prominent feature of the operations was the tenacity with which advances were held and a heavy realizing movement in he last hour faiied to make more thaa part ial impression upoa the list The only stock ou tside of the coalers and industrials which scored any m aterial ad- vance was Lake Shore, W hich rose steadily.

CASE OF NERVES.
You May Be Overcome in the Same Way at this Season
 of the Year.

Thousands are nervous and suffer from mental exhaustion, brain fatigue, weak and irritable nerves, sleeplessnesa, depression of mind and shattered nerves, without realizing the danger or the fearful results which follow neglect of these symptoms.
 It is nerve and brain exhaustion which makes the brain tired, the arm nerveless, the limbs trembling, the muscles weak and the body with out strength and energy, ani, unlr ss cured, the end will be shattered nerves. heart failure, in sanity, with softening of the brain, paralysis or death.
 Those who have had the Grip are almost al ways sufferers from nervous and physical ex. haustiou, as this disease leaves the nerves and system in a weakened and facilitated condition
 Remember, neglect of these conditions is dan gerous and in the spring months more danger ous than at any other time, because there is al this season added the weakness of Spring Debil ity. Use Dr. Greene's Nervura the great Brair and Nerve Invigorant, the wonderful restorer o health, strength and vigor, and your bad feeling will disappear as by magic. Purely vegetabl, and harmless.

THE STATE CAMP THIS YEAR.

For two winters in succession there has been deadlock in the legislature-no business of importance transacted, no bills passed, no appropriations made. With this condition confronting the executive 8 year ago, Governor Bulkeley paid from his own pocket large portion of the expenses of the state camp.
 Now, at the spring of '92, the usual ac- tivity chsracterizing the ouartermaster's office is missed, and it really seems doubt ful if we have camp this year. It is too much to draw on the governors iberality twice, and there is no camp appropriation. Then, again, it is desired that the whole brigade of the c. N. G. should go to the worlds fair next year, and it Is an open question whether we can afford 8 camp this year Gf money could be raised) and then next year send the soldier boys on to Chicago. The question is. is not the latter more desirable if choice must be made be- tween the two? There will be 90, ,000 mili- tia and 10, 900 regulars there in the sum- mer of 1858, and it is hoped Connecticut's four regiments may have chance to camp at Chicago for double the usual time-two voaka
