East Hartford Gazette I

East Hartford Gazette It is not often that anybody has such an experience as Milton D. Hollister of East Glastonbury and his hired man had Sunday, and it is safe to say no one wants such one. It appears that MT. Hollister keeps on his farm large boar. On Sunday this boar got out of his pen and Hollister with his hired man hurried out to drive him back again. But this his hogship greatly ob- jected to, and at once began to show his teeth and showed disposition to go any where but the place his owner wanted him to go. MT. Hollister armed himself with a five-tined fork, and so did the hired man, and they set about prodding the an- imal which helped greatly to madden it. At all events he turned upon his assail- ants, and then and there began a terrible fight which lasted long time The hog would give his attention to only one of the men and when the other man would make an attempt to assist his companion the brute would fly at him. MT. Hollister at one time pushed the fork into the boar's mouth, but it had no effect on him bear ing on it so hard that it pushed Hollister to the ground, the brute sprang upon him and began tearing at his clothing con- pletely ripping them off one side of his body and bruising the side severely. The hired man all this time had been doing his part and finally succeeded in releasing MT. Hollister, but the maddened brute turned on him. In his fall Mir. Hollister's l hand got into the haar's mouth and was severely crushed and bitten. The hired man was also badly bitten. It seemed as if the men were going to get the worst of the fight when deliverance came in anss ssun- expected way. The battle-ground was in part of the yard around one side of which was a stone wall several feet high and even with the land. The hog did not see this danger and in rushing around missed his footing and fell over, rolling over and over down the incline. The men by this time were completely done up and did not wish to renew hostilities. so re- tired the best way their condition would allow them, and had their wounds attend ed to. MT. Hollister's arm will be in a | sling for long time, and it is not likely that either of the men will ever forget their thrilling adventure.

WHAT WILL DO IT?-Medical writers clai i'm that the successful remedy for na- sal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh is proof positive that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. Our druggists keep it.

THE PRESIDENT CRITICISED.
An English View of His Pearl Harbor
Policy.

LONDON, March 26-Commenting this
morning upon the approaching departure to
Honolulu of Admiral Walker of the Ameri-
can navy to establish q naval station. the
Times says: This seems to marx a precipi-
tate descent from the pinnacle of virtue on
which President Cleveland took his stand a
short time ago. 1t is easy to understand
the advantages that would accrue 10 the
United States navy from the possession of
30 advantageously placed a naval station
az Pearl Harbor. The civilized world has
also every reason to be contented that the
United States would protect these islands
even though such protection seems to have
no other meaning than confirmation of the
provisional government. What seems per-
picking Is the contrast between this con-
cessiOn to sordid eXpediency and the lofty
resolution expressed by President Cleveland
hardly three months ago. 1t is 50 impossi-
BILE to question the correctness of the ca
by him that one cannot help inquiring what
has since occurred TO invaitiate them
Neither the House of Representatives nor
the Senate has repudiated his high moral
principles Possibly the recent electoral
successes Of the republicans has influence
in President Cleveiand's mind. A great re-
verse 10 his party often has a debi..tating
effect upon Presidents nerves. Moreover
President Cleveland had no idea that Presi-
dent Dole and his friends were such obsti-
nate people We can well understand how
thoroughly unpleasant and unpopular 1t
would be TO land American marines in or
der to put down the provisional govern
ment and restore the queen, but when all is
urged that can be urged in behalf of frail
craftsmanship it must be confessed that
the surrender of the President OF the Unit
Ell States to the other president is not too
dignified"

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Arguments for the Metropolitan R.R.
Co. Hcfore the senate Committee

The subcommittee of the Senate District
committee composed of Messrs Harris
Mcmillan and Hansbrough granted a hear
ing this afternoon to the Representatives of
the metropolitan railroad Company, with
reference to bill now pending before the
Senate amending the charter of that COM
pany and similar in its provisions to the bill
that has been under discussion in the House
District committee for some weeks past
The hearing began shortly after o'clock
and was attended by the three Senators
named A. T. Britton, Samuel Wilson and
President Stevenson representing the Metro
politan company. Though the District Com
mlSSloners mad been notified of the hearing,
nobody was present from the District offices
in the interest of the local government A
letter from the Commissioners on the sub
ject of the proposed amendments to the
charter was read before the committee
The hearing was held behind closed doors
and was mainly occupied in arguments by
Col. Britton, who presented the case Of the
company. Previous to the meeting he said
to a Star reporter: THE public win lose
rothing If the doors should be closed, for all
of the facts and arguments in this case
have already been printed in The Star dur
ing the course of the hearings before the
House committee There is absolutely moth
ing new to be given this subcommittee and
our line of argument will be Just the same
as before"
Legal Question.
Senator Harris said this morning that the
question before the committee was essen
TALLY legal one, and he should erdeavor
to have 1t dealt with by the committee in
a judicial manner. The bill, he says pro-
poses that if certain conditions are not COM
piled with by the Metropolitan company
the charter granted by Congress to that
company will be forfeited. Congress can
not forfeit a charter" he continued in
my opinion, within its constitutional privi-
leges. l think, however, that such a for
feiture can be enacted into law. provided
IT should be made conditional, and that the
forfeiture can be carried into effect if the
conditions should be met. l had not ex-
amined this question at all minutely until
yesterday, owing to my pressing engage
ments with the finance committee, but 1
see now that it presents legal difficulties
that must be met and dealt with in a
strictly judicial way"
1t is understood that Senator Mcmillan
has a substitute bill to offer to the SUBJ
committee at today's session.
