SUES FOR SICK BENEFITS.
The Order Of Hibernians Defendant
in a Civil Case.

Patrick McChrystle against the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, No. 4, of Cumber-
land, was the only case on trial at the
court house to-day. IL was in Judge
Rogers side of the Court of Common
Pleas.
The plaintiff in the case was a member
of the Ancient Order Of IIibernians and
alleges that when he was sick for Is
weeks the order refused To pay him the
I" sick benefit" which amounts To 50 u
week. lie sues TO recover 800 with inter
est. Cooke and Angel for the plaintiff,
Frank Owen for the defendant.
Counsel Owen moved that the case be
non-suited on the ground that when the
plaintiff was sick he was nine months IN
arrears for dues. The plaintiff introduced
evidence to show that while he was in az
rears for dues, he paid them up when hc
regained his health, and that the fact OF
this being received was evidence
that he had never been sus-
pended The defence admitted that
the back dues were received, but as n new
member, but failed to show where he had
gone through the formalty of initiation
again as required of new member.
Judge Rogers refused To non-suit the
case, and the trial was continued.

NEW ENGLAND'S MOVE.
Is This How it Proposes to Get Its
New York Terminus?
NEW TRANSPORTATION COMPANY
Its Corporators' Names Not Made Public
nRIts Capital stock $500. 900 Railroad
Men Believe 1t Is the Intention to Ferry
Trains Between New London, Conn,
and Greenpoint, l.. L.

PORTLAND, Me-, Jan. 20.-A corporation
was formed in this city yesterday at the
law Office of the Hon. Isaac w Dyer, the
United States. district attorney for
Maine, concerning which there is much
speculation. The name of the corporation
is the New York, New London and Nor
witch Transportation Company. Its cap
ital stock is Ss00,000 At present the
names of its corporators and officers can
not be learned.
The name, however implies a good deal
to railroad men, Tor it embraces three inn
portant points on the New York and New
England railroad. 1t is the opinion here
among well posted railroad men that it is
move on the part OF that road to get a
New York terminus.
Especially significant is the name,''
said gentleman high in Maine railroad
circles. The formation Of such a company
to my mind unquestionably means very
bright move on the part of the New Eng
land road To strengthen its connections
and develop new business. The Trans
portation company" means simply big
ferry boats like the Maryland, or the ferry
boats plying between Sarnia and Port
Huron. on TO which whole trains may he
loaded and quickly taken from New Lon
don to Greenport, thence over the Long
Island road To Brooklyn. Austin Corbin,
the New England's president, is also at the
head of the Long Island railroad, whose
eastern terminal is opposite New London
'The growing disposition is to capture
the Brooklyn freight. which now has to be
all ferried TO New York. IL would be
easier and cheaper TO ferry it from Green
port than from Brooklyn, and less danger
Gus.
The rivalry for the business now mo-
nopolized at Forty-second street in New
York is growing daily. Such a move
would make the Long Island railroad a
through route to Boston, and would give
IL n long haul TO Norwich, where it would
deliver its business TO the New England.
An immense volume of new business
would unquestionably follow. 1t would
the Brooklyn business. and make that
road perfectly independent of other New
York connections.n

CHURCH AND RECTORY BURNED
The Fire Supposed to be Incendiary
Origin.

BRIDGEPORT, Jan EST. Thomas Roman
Catholic Church together with the rectory
and convent were destroyed by fire last
night and there is little doubt that it was
Of incendiary origin.
1t appears that short time ago the
Rev. Father Colman, pastor of the church,
requested that none but the Italian pa
rishioners should attend at the A. NJ.
services, and that service being strictly
for the Italians none of them need attend
the A. NJ. mass, which was for the re-
mainder of the congregation.
The Italians took offense mt the matter,
regarding it as an insult rather than a
pleasure TO have service seperate from
the rest They vowed vengeance on the
pastor, and it is supposed that this is the
outcome of the threat. Loss. $4,000; in
surance, $4,000.

Having Fun with Springer.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-There was fun
IN the House Yesterday when O'Neill OF
Missouri carried his motion to table the
bill from the printing committee reorgan-
izing the whole system OF the public print
ing, and then made the customary ciinch-
ing motion to reconsider the vote and to
lay the motion TO reconsider on the table.
Then some one demanded the yeas and
nays on the last proposition, whereupon
Springer bounded into the arena with a
motion TO adjourn, relying on his prestige
and self-asserted leadership to carry the
thing through.
The House promptly voted against him,
much To his surprise, and he called for the
yeas and nays on his motion.
Then he turned around and made mo-
tions with his hands for the Democrats TO
come TO his support. But they simply sat
still and Springer could not muster the
necessary, number of members to get the
roll called.

KILLED WHILE SLEEPING.

Louis w. Bloom is another of whis-
keys victims.
Sunday morning at 5 o'clock he was
found with q terrible wound on his
right temple, lying beside the B. s. o.
railroad track at North Baltimore.
He was taken home and died at 5
O'Clock in the evening.
Bloom who was aged about so, lived
about one mile from Hammansburg
He was accustomed to make frequent
journeys to North Baltimore, where it
was usual thing to get more or less
drunk before he returned home. He is
q farmer, II peaceable and law-abiding
citizen, with only love for the flow
ing bowl to mar an otherwise ex-
emplary life. His family is an interest
ing one consisting of u wife and five
children, the eldest of whom, Il young
man, is q school teacher, and was in
attendance at the recent Institute.
Saturday night Bloom was at North
Baltimore, and WAS under the influence
of liquor at II o'clock when Marshal
Jake Helfrich, as was his usual custom,
started him bome westward on the B.
& o. railway track. This was the last
seen OF him till Sunday morning at 5
o'clock when the section boss in max
ing his usual trip found him lying by
the side of the track near the elevator
with deep cash across the right tenn
pie, from which the brains were oozing.
Help was summoned and the injured
man was moved to his home, at which
place he died as above recorded, with
out regaining consciousness.
The supposition is that Bloom laid
down by the side of the track, and upon
tho approach of the midnight passen-
ger train, raised his head just in time
to be struck with the forward trucks
The talk OF foul play is without much
basis, as oil marks near the wound in,
dicated plainly thencause of the tract,
ure. Besides, the contents of his
pockets were undisturbed.- Sentinel
