There was purpose. he said, on the part
of the people interested in defeating the

OF short crop would enable them to un-
load at higher prices. The bill then went

A PLEASANT EVENT.

Mrs. Allen's Pupils at Warner Hall.
 An evening matinee and reception was tendered last evening by the pupils of Mrs. G. M. Allen, assisted by Miss Wheat ley, soprano; Miss Northrop, contralto, and Miss Williams, pianist.
 The first part of the program consisted of recitations by Misses Bright, Dyer, Ten nie Embler, Kay and Mrs. Loomis, among whom Miss Kay's reciting was especially excellent. Miss Embler was obliged to be absent on account of sickness. A song by Miss Wheatley, the soprano, followed.
 The second part consisted of songs by Misses Wheatley and Northrop, recitations by Mrs. Allen, Misses Futile, s. w. Allen and Pendleton. A piano solo by Miss Williams, t'The Third Meditation, {" was the next number, and was rendered with a nicety and precision of execution that was most praiseworthy. The entertainment closed with fan drill to the music of the s'Mikado" and was very pretty sight. A reception followed, in which there were ten dances. This was the final entertain ment given by Mrs. Allen this season, and speaks very highly for Mrs. Allen's train ing.

Doorman Moore's Long Service.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 After twenty-four years of consecutive service in various capacities on the police force of this city Doorman Richard Moore will retire from active duty June 1. It seems quite likely that the veteran door man, instead of being placed on the vet eran reserve list and compelled to do sev- eral hours work each day, will be placed on the retired list at salary of $500 per year. During Officer Moore's long and continuous service on the police force of this city he has always had a clean record and one of which any officer on the force of this or any other city might justly be proud. The police commissioners now have an opportunity to show their appre- citation of Officer Moore's long and efficient service by placing him on the retired list. It is generally thought throughout the city that this is the least the board can do, and it is believed that this action should and will be taken. JUSTICE.

A New York Suit in Which . Bridge- |
 port Attorney Was Engaged as Coun- |
 sel.
 BRIDGEPORT, May 12. - Ex-President Cleveland, acting as a committee of the New York supreme court, has just decided 8 case which has degree of local interest from the fact that Goodwin Stoddard of stoddard, Bishop & Shelton, this city, was one of the counsel engaged. The action was that of Kountze Bros., bankers of New York, vs. John P. Kennedy, also of New York.
 Kennedy, wealthy stock operator, &C., cording to the complaint, induced Kountze Bros. to invest heavily in an issue of bonds l which he assured them would be safe and | profitable. Kountzs Bros. invested and l lost. They then instituted a suit against | Kennedy, claiming false representations. ! Kennedy's defense was that his representa- tions had been made in good faith. The New York supreme court appointed ex- President Cleveland as referee, and the
 case was heard by him last year. He has
 decided in favor of the defendant, who was
 represented by Attorneys William E. Horn
 blower of New York and Goodwin Stod-
 dard of this city. Kountze Bros. were
 represented by Wheeler H. Psckham of Now York and the late Professor Johnson
 T. Platt of New Haven and the Yale law school.
 Singularly enough three of the principal
 parties interested died during the progress of the suit. These were Professor Platt,
 the defendent, Kennedy, and Augustus
 Kountze, senior partner of the plaintiff
 firm. The amount involved was about
 $15O,O00.

Lies in an gncOnsciOus State-A New Haven man-A MYstertOUa Case.

Lies in an Unconscious State-A New
 Haven man-A Mysterious Case.
 TWISTED, May 12.-Fitz Henry Bond, brother of William Bond of Winsted, and who for number of years past has resided in New Haven, was found in dazed con- dition in front of the door of his brothers residence on Lake street between and 2 o'clock yesterday morning. He was un- able to give any account of himself and only at intervals was able to realize where he was. Dr. Binwel was called and after making an examination gave it as his opin- ion that the man had been sandbagged. How the man got to Winsted or where he was when he received his injuries is mystery. All day Wednesday he lay in a semi-unconscious condition, but at times seemed to have an indistinct recollection | of having been beaten by two men. Fur ther than this he is able to give no account of himself. Up to yesterday afternoon he l was still in an unconscious state. He has during his residence in New Haven done more or less work as 8 private detective, and it is barely possible that he may have met with violence from some persons whom he was shadowing. At any rate 1t | is amystery how he reached Winsted. No one seems to remember having seen him on the train and nothing can be learned regarding his wanderipgs. He has wife and family in New Haven. Dr. Welch thinks he will soon recover and possibly he may then be able to shed some light on the mystery.
 MT. Bond is thirty-ive years of age, and l for some years has been in the emply of Smith & Son, wholesale oyster dealers and oyster growers of Oyster Point, New Haven. Last week Thursday night he went to Bridgeport on business for the firm and his movements are known up to Friday night, since which no trace of him is obtainable until his sudden appearance l at his fathers house as told above. Below the left ear at the base (of the braip there is bruise several inches in length, evi- dently made by sandbag. It is thought, from the fact that all day and part of the night he raved about two men, and occasionally cried out, 'don't let them strike me-" that he has been sandbagged and robbed. It is possible that concussior of the brain has followed blow from sandbag. He is easier and did not rave SO much this morning, but was, stated above, still unconscious.
 Telegraus were sent to his wife and { letter written to his employers. Mrs. Bono
 was expected on the noon train. At pres
 ent the above is all that is known. Th'
 chances are that dastardly crime has il
 this case been committed.
