VERDICT FOR THE DERBY.
Judge Hall Decides in Favor of til
Railroad in the Suit Brought b

Judge Hall Decides in Favor of the
Railroad in the Suit Brought by
the City.
Judge Hall of the superior court an
nounced his decision yesterday on the
demurrer fled by the New Haven and
Derby Railroad company in the suit
brought by the city to compel the COM
pany to pay damages to the amount of
s23, 900, for closing Lafayette and Hill
streets and the changes in Liberty street.
The demurrer was argued last Thursday
when S. E. Baldwin and William Trum-
bull appeared for the railroad and Cor
poration Counsel Driscon and Charles S.
Hamilton for the city. Judge Hail in his
decision sustains the demurrer on the
majority of points raised by the defend
ants and holds that the complaint is de-
fective. The text of the decision is as
follows:
"The court sustains the demurrer on
the points raised by the defendants coun.
sci. As the defects of the complaint de-
scribed in the grounds of the demurrer
above enumerated, seem to be necessarily
decisive of the action, do not pass upo1
the questions raised by the remaining
grounds of the demurrer.
Judge Hall, in his decision, announced
/ that according to the agreement, arbitra
tors could not be appointed, and that thu
city could not agree to protect property
owners, and that the city had no right t.
bring or maintain any suit. The decision
on the demurrer was appealed by the city
and it will go to the supreme court. If i
| is sustained by that body the city will hav'
to resort to the legislature to secure dam
ages.
After the railroad company closed tn
streets Judge L. B. Morris, Captain L
O'Brien, S. S. Thompson and John T
Sloan were appointed by Judge Robinson
| of the superior court to appraise the dam
ages to property caused by the closing o
| the streets. The amount of damages de
cided upon was $23, 900, but as the railroa'
| refused to pay it the suit was brought.

A WAR TIVE STORY.

A Rem1 niscence of an Irish Creole.
had the pleasure of reading General B.
F. Buffers sketch of the Ninth Connecti-
cut Volunteers. It is quite amusing, yet
true. Inow desire to give you veritable
sketch of prominent brigadier in the late
troubles.
The Ninth was qusrtered in Lafayette
square. Phil McGilligan, an old timer, was
on sentry on the Camp street side of the
square when a nondescript came saunter-
ing along. He wore stovepipe hat,
military coat, with the insignia of briga-
dier embroidered on the shoulder straps.
His pantaloons Of black cloth were some
six inches too short, which showed pair of
well worn STACY boots, quite innocent of
backing. He carried a blue cotton UNI
brella, which was carefully tucked under
his left arm. should say here that his
coat was worn open with the collar turned
down.
In passing McGilligan, the brigadier
noticed that the sentinel paid no attention
to him. The general passed and repassed,
still no attention. He confronted the
sentinel in a calm manner and said proud
ly: "Soldier, don't you know me?' Nc
| "No! Who are you anywayg" The gen.
| erals face flushed with indignation as he
yelled forth: "Sentryl I am General
- of the State of Maine" McGilligan
gave a prolonged whistle and replied
heard of ye before. So ye are the
rale Maine man. Gineral, if ye are gin
eral, take my advice and get away from
the Ninth Connecticut, for they are set
of devils and are known through the de-
partment of the gulf as being very much
opposed to the Maine law" The general,
believing the man to be crazy, bolted
away highly indignant and with firm de-
termination of reporting the entire trans
action to the commanding general.
| However, on his way to the headquar-
ters he met the major Of the Ninth, who,
by the way, knew how to enjoy joke as
well az any man. The general button
holsd the major and repeated the entire
story. The major, to keep up the joke,
slipped his arm under that of the irate
brigadier and leading him away said,
"Never mind, general, let us go over to
the park house and have a good whisky
toddy. We will try to forget the misfor-
tunate occurance, and as there is but one
man living who can do any thing with them.
that is, Gen. B. Butler, I would not say
any thing about it.
When the major proposed the toddy,
the generals eyes fairly snapped fire, and
breaking loose from the major, he indig
nantly exclaimed: "What, sir; add insult
to injury Do you fail to remember that
am the father of the Maine liquor law
and for sixty years of my life have beer
fighting the devil.
eyes, sir; I believe the Ninth are al
devils, from tho colonel down to the SEN
try" answered the major.
The case was reported to the command
ing general, but as nothing was owe,
heard of it afterward the major and Mr.
Gilligan kept quiet about the Maine Law
advocate.

TURE'S OWN REMEDY
The Only Way to Prevent
or to Cure the Grip.
low Thousands Escaped the
Fatal Disease Last Year.
Tho Discovery of Edward e.
Phelps, M. D., LII. D., Of
\ Dartmouth College.

There il only one remedy that seems to
have done any good in combating the grip
epidemic, which is now upon US and prob
ably has month or two yet ahead for its
Operations.
s A hundred and one different ''cures"
have been put upon the market, but 1t is
significant fact that one never finds
physician using or recommending them.
What the physicians do use and do rec
ommend is the famous remedy which was
farst prescribed by Prof Edward e. Phelps,
II. D., Ii. D., Of Dartmouth College.
The discovery by Prof. Phelps of Paine's
celery compound marks an era in the prac-
tice of medicine. Prof. Phelps was q
strong. able man, who stood high in the
scientific world. He had remarkable
chances for observation. He was an emil
nent practitioner. His investigations had
but in the German hospitals. He foresaw
the great evil that is threatening the
American people to-day even before it
came. He saw it, and he discovered the
remedy. Taking tho principles of Ger
man celery seeds, buchu leaves sarsapa-
rilla root, and other vegetable Ingredients
NATURES own remedies-he extracted
their virtues and proportional compound
that IL the most valuable remedy known
for all diseases arising from a debilitated
nervous system or an impure state of the
blood.
For the grip it has proven the best
possible treatment.
When this disease appears, Its effect :s
to depress the vitality of its victim. 1t
takes hold of q PERSONS weak spots; kid
ney troubles, lung troubles, and heart
troubles, become apparent at once, and it
is in complication with these diseases that
the grip, as all physicians say, is most
to be feared.
. During the serious epidemic that pre-
vailed last year there was nothing afforded
20 much relief as Paine's celery compound.
Grip, 1t was found, attacked those peo-
pie who wore weak and run down-just
those people whom Prof. Phelps designed
to benefit, in giving his prescription to the
world. People who began to feel the
headaches and laseitude with which the
disease begins, who could not eat, who
felt, as the victims of this depressing
disease generally feel, as if they were 60
ing to die, found relief at once in a few
doses of Paine's celery compound; and
thousands of Testimonials were received
from those who rightly attributed thei,
recovery entirely to this famous remedy
~ It has been found that alcoholic bever
ages, bSttsrs and ordinary tonics are worse
than useless in the treatment of grip
Tho nerves need food, tho brain demands
nourishment, the blood must be enriched
and in this serious condition there il
/ nothing 80 certainly good as Paine's celery
compound.
