COURT CULLINGs.

The case OF Anna Marks We. Gunner ct
al. occupied the time of the court yester
day. Mrs. Theodore layer was an eye
witness to the expulsion of Mrs. Marks
together with her goods and chattels on the
9th of December, 1887; saw Mr.. Tomkins
tearing down the house and firing the fur
niture into the street: heard the screams
of the woman as she was being hauled out
by Officer Sullivan; knew of some of the
house of Mrs. Marks being used for shed
on the Tomkins land.
Judge J. S. Watts stated that Officer
Sullivan gave the woman no opportunity TO
consult with him in the case. Commas
sioner Hills gave his record of the case and
identified certain papers.
William H. Culmer testified that he had

poINes OF CONGRESS.
Anti-Option Bul in the Senate - HOua
 Proceedings.

14SSOSSAAAA8ee
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The Senate spent three hours and five minutes in session, the five minutes being devoted to executive business, behind closed doors, on the subject of the appointment of an interstate commerce commissioner.
 The anti-Option bill made its appearance twice-the first time being when at the close of the morning hour, it was laid before the Senate as ''unfnished business' and when, with the consent of it's mana ger, Mr. Washburne, it was temporarily laid aside to allow another matter then under discussion to be finished.
 As it was evident, after nearly another hour, that a conclusion of that matter might be delayed too long, MT. Washburn interposed, and had the anti-Option bill again presented for action. It was sug- gested by Mir. Harris that the print of the bill did not show Gin distinctive types) the measure as 1t oaSne from the House, the amendments already agreed to. in the Senate and the amendments that are still pending, and that it could not, for that reason, be acted on intelligently, a new print was therefore ordered and the bill went over till today.
 The session of the House was short little of interest occurring except tht dramatic episode which opened Its pro oeedinGs in the spontaneous ovation ten gered to Speaker Crisp and Amos Cum mings' resolution to investigate the alleged misuse of the mails. District Da! brought about an early adjournment.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Pitcher Vickery has signed with Nashville.
 There seems to be considerable doubt about Latham's playing third base foI Cincinnati next year.
 Baltimore has accepted the services of First Baseman Motz, Pitcher Wads- worth and Catcher D. J. Roland. It is said that Harry Taylor, formerly of the Louisvilles, has renounced pro- fessional base ball for good and will cap tain and play with the Cornell Univer' slty club. It is dollars to cents that the eastern and other minor leagues have had all , they wanted of so-called league pro- lection. The clubs of these bodies were not allowed to reserve their players, but the league clubs can hold their men, though most of them owed salaries to players.
 Colonel Charles l.. Burdett, of Hart ford, president of the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen, has received partial re- turns from the the census just taken, of the Connecticut wheelmen. It is esti- mated that there are 15, ,000 riders in the state, 5000 having been counted, with three counties yet to be heard from. Hartford has 3,20O riders, while New Haven has but 2,300. In the entire state only 2,667 are members of the league and strenuous efforts are soon tC be made which will result in greatly in. creasinR the membership.

 Excursions-BrOugh About on Account
 of American Regulations Regarding Im-
 migration-Canadians Pleased.
 LONDON, Dec. 18.-Mr. Peters, secre- tary of the North Atlantic Steamship As sociation, states that in view of the American regulations in regard to immi- grants, the association decides to carry on its vessels only saloon and second class passengers from January 1 next. It is also decided to materially reduce the number of sailings during 1898 and to order to make up the loss incurred through abandoning the steerage traffic.
 All special excursion rates for the Chicago Columbian Exhibition have been withdrawn by the association, and there is no doubt that this action will result in a large falling of In the number of foreign visitors to the Worlds Fair.
 The only persons pleased by the steps are Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High Commissioner, and Archie Baker, the European agent of the Canadian Pacific Railroad company. MT. Baker said last night: '"The United States closing down or greatly curtailing the steerage traffic cannot but assist the development of the Domiuion."
 The representative of the Hamburg American line said that the United States Senate proposals would simply ruin the Hamburg shipping trade with New York as far as regarded passengers. He also predicted a certain amount of failure for the Chicago Exhibition if intending visit ors were subjected to the same rules as those which are intended to apply to i'm migrants.
 At the Guion line offices the impression seemed to prevail that the United States wanted to keep out paupers, and were go- ing the wrong way about it. The pro posals to restrict immigration wanted sys- tematizing.
 ''It Is a question of citizenship more than anything else, D was the observation made. 'Of course, if immigration is re- stricted it will change the character of the steamship business, and arrange ments must be made by the different lines to carry better class of passengers at better prices and more freight. It was admitted that the restriction of immigration would injuriously affect every transatlantic liner.

 The P. B. club gave a return leap year dance to the Ladies' Dancing club in Pythian Hall last night which proved an enjoyable and successful affair. Law sons orchestra furnished the music and Farrell prompted. After the dance an excellent supper was served to the party by Caterer Davld in the lower hall. Among the out of town guests were: Lotus Dermody and Miss Kate killian of Hartford, Miss Mary Ravens of Meriden, Miss Anna Riley of New Haven, William Briggs of Ansonia and Joseph Degan of Naugatuck
 About two months ago the road board voted to have a board walk built from South Leonard street to South Riverside street, convenience which is badly needed. The matter passed both boards of the council and the work was ordered done. At the last meeting of the road board, that body failed to or der the proper person to go on with the work. The reason for this action was that there was no money. We do not believe this good and sufficient reason for certainly there would be money enough in the hands of the city treas urer by the time the bill would be pre- sented. We hope, therefore, that the board of road commissioners at their meeting to morrow evening will not fail to instruct those in charge of such work to proceed with the construction of this walk. City Engineer Cairns has made plans for the construction of the work, and given the board an estimate of the expense, and we doubt not but that, if ordered, he could have it in position so that the people would get the benefit of it in very short while.

Efforts Making te Have Him Speak at thu
 Opening of the Fair.
 CHICAGO, Dec. IS. Perhaps William Ewart Gladstone will be the orator of the day at the formal opening of the World s Columbian Exposition, May 1. Mf. Glad stons's name has been seriously consid- cred by the Ceremonies Committee, and Secretary Culp believes the committed can secure the famous Briton.
 Some weeks ago the name of Emile Castelar was prominently mentioned. That SpaniaTd and so eminent an orator as Castelar, should be chosen, seemed emi- nently acceptable, but it was found that although Senor Castelar, left nothing to be desired in the direction of eloquence, when it came to speaking English, he was at Q disadvantage.
 MT. Gladstone, although far past the eightieth mile post, is nevertheless still a sturdy and active man, and it is said would not hesitate to cross the ocean on an occa- sion like the opening of the Worlds. Fair.

Exchanges.
 Miss Minnie F. Ryckman of Bridge port saw an advertisement for wife in newspaper six months ago and answered it ''just for fun." Her corre- spondent proved to be Daniel H. Lang don, a prosperous young Michigan far mer. The correspondence was kept up and photographs were exchanged. Last week young Langdon came on and the
 pair were married by Rev I. M. Foster.
 MT and Mrs Langdon have gone to his
 home in Michigan.
 There were 300 applications last night for six positions as school teachers in Bridgeport.
 William Wilson, aged 20, of Ansonia, broke out with smallpox yesterday. He
 has been removed to the pest house. The residence of Albert Gaines, who keeps harness shop on East Main street, East Hartford, next to the post office, was broken into yesterday by
 burglars. Among the articles taken
 were $500 government bond, a lot of silverware and purse containing over $290. No clue has been found to the
 burglar.
 William Lucas of East Bridgeport ob. jected to the noise made by skaters on Stillman's pond; so he opened the gates and let all the water run out. The human hand found in Yellow
 mill pond, East Bridgep Jrt, has been
 traced to the hospital near by and was 1 amputated from a patient not long ago. Ephraim Williams, who claimed his
 election as judge of probate of Stoning-
 ton district, in which Elias B. Hinckley
 was elected by three plurality, has with
 drawn his petition to the superior court. Miss Julia Hall, who wandered away from her home at New Canaan and re- turned so mysteriously, is suffering
 from a high fever. Her limbs were
 found to be badly frost bitten. Miss Hall has had rational spells, but the
 only information she would communi-
 cate regarding her disappearance, was | that she wished to be by herself and was
 hidden in a barn. The latter part of
 this statement can scarcely be true, as every barn within a radius of five miles
 of her home was carefully searched dur. ing her absence.

Florence Smith Found Frozen to Death
 in a Meadow at East Hartford.
 Florence Smith, a destitute woman, aged twenty eight, was found dead in the East Hartford meadows at 3:3O yesterday afternoon. The body was frozen stiff and from the first examina- tion it seems that death must have re- suited from exposure. The clothing was removed from portions of the body, but there was no sign of violence. The woman was last seen going across the East Hartford bridge from Hartford about 9 o'clock. With her was a man with whom she was laughing and carrying on. It was thought that she was under the influence of liquor at the time. The mans description answered that of John Loveland, an East Hart ford character, who was arrested charged with assault. The woman had just served term in jail,
