Great Interest Manifested in the Tenn
 perance Meetings-A Case of Att
 tempted Suicide.
 There was a large attendance at the union temperance meeting in town hall last evening Every seat was taken and many were standing in the rear of the hall. The interest in the temperance cause seems to be on the increase. and the armory this evening. where Thomas Murphy begins bis great work, will probably be crowded to It's utmost capacity. Everything in the matter of arrangements that can tend to make the visit of the great temperance re- former a success has been done and the next week will show that the work has not been in vain.
 The regular COURIER correspondent was not responsible for the garbled account of the case of scarlet fever reported here Tuesday evening, that appeared in the Wallingford news yesterday morning, as the item was part of an Associated Press dispatch which was used by mistake in place of the accurate account of the case, which was sent In the usual Wallingford letter. The account in question contained many misleading statements, and wss groasley exaggerated. The notices refer red to sent out by the warden Tuesday, were in fact sent out three weeks ago. The other statements were incorrect, esrscI. ally regarding the quarantine.
 Mrs. Lyman Beckley of North Main street made an attempt at suicide yester. day morning by taking e heavy dose oi laudanum- The fact was discovered by her daughter coon after, and Dr. McGau ghey was sent for, and by the judiciouI use of emstics soon brought the laudanuu to the surface.

THE NARONIO,s INSURANCE.

Payment of Policies on che Cargo at
 a Discount by New York Compa-
 nies.
 NEW YORK, April 12-The Atlantic Mutual Insurance company of No. 51 Wall street began yesterday to pay it's policies on the Naronic's cargo at @ small dis count. The exact figures are not obtaina- ble, but 1t is understood that the company suffers a considerable loss. The New York Mutual of No. e1 William street is, so far ss is known here, the only other local company y holding risks on the Naro- nic's cargo, and they are only to the extent of few thousand dollars. That com psny also has begun to discount Its policies. Most of the marine insurance effected in New York fs by open contract, the shippers, by agreement with companies, having the policies charged to them when their goods are loaded on the other side. An officer of the Atlantic company said to day that the cargo of the Naronic would not exceed $500, 0,000 in value and that a majority of the insurance had been placed in London. The New York companies do not reinsure their risks, as foreign firms do, nor do they ! issue policies at increased premiums when | ! There is no longer, added the informant of the Evening Post, any doubt that the Ma ! ronic has gone to the bottom (she left Liv- erpool two months ago to-day), ''and while, according to law, we have a year and day iu which to pay losses, we are in this case willing to settle now"
 There is no insurance on the ship her self, the White Star company having never spent cent on policies, laying the money they would have disbursed in this direction aside for building fund. The cargo, however, has been fully insured, as
 large premium as eighty gnineas having
 been aaked and given during the
 last month in London. Striking an
 average, 1t Is thought that the marine l underwriters who issued the first poli-
 cies there have escaped with loss of about
 50 per cent. through reinsurance, the total
 amount being thus scattered among the
 large companies. According to an old
 custom, the insurance in England cannot
 be collected by the shippers until the losi
 of the Naronic is formally posted at Lloyds
 The captains of the White Star line are oi
 the opinion that this will hardly be don. l under a month at least.

HAMILTON VINDIOaTEp.

Charges That He Tampered With q
 Jury in the Superior Court Not sus-
 taiued-The Motion for . New Trial
 in Sanford vs. Peck & Bishop With-
 drawn-It Was Purely Case Of Mis-
 taken Identity.
 A feature of the reesnt case of George L. Sanford vs. Peck 6 Bishop, which psrtook somewhat of the nature of sensation. cropped out in the civil side of the superior court yesterday afternoon in hearing on a motion to set aside the judgment In the case, which was argued before Judge Wheeler. When the case was tried Sam ford secured q judgment for s1 ,o5o against Peck & Bishop.
 The day after the judgment was render. ed Bristol, Stoddard & Bristol filed e mo- ton with Clerk Anketell asking for an ar rest of judgment on the ground that the jury had been tempered with. It was on this motion that the hearing was held yes terday afternoon. The allegation was made that two members of the jury had been tempered with by Attorney Hamilton, counsel for the defense. The two members of the jury in question were Andrews and Smith, and 1t is alleged that the motion was made on representations made to ex- Judge Stoddard by Miss Mamie Lockwood, sister of Mrs- E. L. Norton of the firm of Peck & Bishop, the defendants in the case.
 At the hearing on the motion yesterday afternoon Miss Lockwood testified that at the noon recess on one of the days during which the trial was in progress she had ..1t two men, Andrews and Smith, and heard them talking, as she thought, about the case then at issue.
 Jurymen Andrews and Smith were then called, and after having been sworn denied absolutely that they had had any conver- sation with MT. Hamilton either before, during or after the trial, relative to the case then at issue.
 Attorney Hamilton testified that 1t was purely a case of mistaken identity. He had been talking during the recess to two men, one of whom was Mr. Hitchcock of Nsugstuck, and the other was unknown to him. Neither of these men were on the jury panel. The conversation wss in re- ference to curiously carved piece of furniture, which was one of the exhibits in the case, he making the remark that 1t must have cost considerable to carve 1t. Just ss he was speaking he noticed Miss Lockwood and Mrs. Lorton enter the court room in an apparently excited frame of mind, and was of the opinion that they might have overheard his remark.
 MT. Hitchcock of Naugatuok then took the stand and testified that he was not a jurymsn nor was the other man who was present daring his talk with MT. Hamilton. In every respect he corroborared the testi mony given by the previous witness.
 Attorney Stoddsrd then arose and spolo- gized to MT. Hamilton and to the judge. He said that he knew the case was one of mistaken identity, but that he had been obliged to bring it in consequence of his upon withdrew the motion to set aside the judgment. and no record was made of the case, as 1t was evident that Attorney Ham iltou had been thoroughly and clearly vim dicated.

From the WASHINGTON Post. I

From the Washington Post
Mr.. Samuel Blackwell of Alabama,
the newly appointed Third Auditor of
the Treasury, is an instance of what a
genuine man can do in the way Of
curbing his appetite or shaking off a
dangerous habit when he makes up his
mind for long but winning fight. He
returned to Selma at the close of the
war young and very attractive fellow
of a strongly social disposition, and
promptly fell in love with one of the
bells of a town that is noted in the
Southland for its beautiful women. The
affection was mutual, but Blackwell,
like so many other youngsters in the
ranks, had acquired thirst which be
proceeded to slake whenever the hu-
NOR seized him. The lady Of his heart
finally told him that she would marry
him, but upon one condition only.
"What is tbat?' he asked.
THAT you shall not swallow drop
Of Intoxicating liquor for ten years."
"That is a long time between drinks" "
said he.
II know it is" she said, but"
"Will you wait that long?" he in
quired.
She replied that she would. He re-
sponded. 'All right, and went out.
They were faithful during the decade
of bis probation. At the end of the
time they were married. Mr.. Blackwell
has vigorously refrained ever since the
day when be set his hat squarely on
his head and walked out Of his sweet

that he (Mr. Watson) stated that I
had informed him that the conference
held in Columbia short time ago was
"ostensibly for the purpose Of abrogat-
ing the charters Of the railroads, but in
fact for the purpose of discussing the
advisability of calling an extra session
of the Legislature to take away from
freeholders of each county the right of
saying whether or not they would have
dispensaries, and give the Governor
the right to put as many as be please d
in each county in the State" Mr..
Watson did D"t get such information
from me. / would have taken notice
Of this matter sooner, but 7 have been
very busy on !he plantation and did
not send to the pnstnificr until Satur-
day evening, and tonst quently did not
see The Register until that time.
