IN THE IsBE11 UI1U CASE.
Testimony Submitted Concerning Mrs
 Isbell's Mental Faculties.

Testimony Submitted Concerning Mrs, Isbells Mental Faculties.
 There was throng of people yester- l day at the probate court at the contest
 over the will of the late Mary L. Isbell,
 which is being made by her husband,
 George A. Isbell, to upset the instru- | ment, which gives to Bridget Ross. a servant; Dr. Charles w. Fitch of Bridge
 port, Mrs. Mary Clough of Bridgeport and William Hendricks of New York
 major portion of the testatrix's es- tate amounting to about $20,000 while the contestant was cut off with but a small portion. The ground of the con- test Is undue influence and mental inca
 pacity, due to the use of morphine to deaden pain from an ailment of which the deceased was suffering.
 Various witnesses were called to tes- tify as to Mrs. Isbells sanity and men, tai condition. and her reasons for will ing the property as she did. Several let, ters were also brought into court. Bridget Ross, one of the beneficiaries of the will, was called and testified that although Mrs. Isbell was very weak at the time of signing the last will, yet her mind was clear.
 Several witnesses testified that Mrs Isbell had told them that her hus- band could be very loving at times and very disagreeable at other times, and that she was denied many things which would add to her comfort unless she se- cured them with her own funds
 Mrs. Blakeman of Shelton testified late in the afternoon that she had known Mrs Isbell for many years, and had frequently seen her during the last year of her life, and that she had never thought Mrs. Isbell mentally unbal- anced.
 Mrs. Martha K. Clough of Bridgeport, at whose house Mrs. Isbell had died, was next called. She is a beneficiary under the will of Mrs. Isbell, which is being contested. She testified that she had known Mrs. Isbell since 1868, and that she had never considered her men, tally weak. She also said that in 1877 Mrs. Isbe1l had told her that she and her husband had each made a will in which she had bequeathed all her prop erty to her husband and he had left his to her. Mrs. Isbell also told the wit ness that she had no confidence that her husband would let his will stand, and she was inclined to change hers, and she did make a latter will. Her testi- mony was not concluded when court adjourned until this morning.

AN UYUsUAn MrRAGE.
Montauls Point and Light House Loor

Montauk Point and Light House Loom Up.
 A mirage of unusual beauty was seen from Stonington Point Sunday about noon. At that time the east end of Long Island loomed up with distinct ness it never before acquired within the recollection of any person, The point is twenty miles from Stonington, and is only faintly distinguishable when clear atmosphere exists. Dur ing the continuance of the mirage the point appeared to- rise far above the water, and could be seen as distinctly as Fishers Island, but five miles away. Montauk lighthouse that can seldom be seen from here with the naked eye, stood forth as prominent as though not six miles away. It is seldom that an illusion of this character is seen at this season of the year-Norwich Bulletin.

Were Riddled With Bullets,

St. Louis, April 2S.-A special from Guadlajara, Mexico, says that Feliciano Mariavos and Maurice Rivera, two of the most desperate outlaws who ever operated in the west coast country, were executed in the prison yard yesterday morning. On taking leave of the priests the two bandits were placed in kneel- ing position on the north side of the prison, and at the word of the com mander, were pierced with bullets from the double file of soldiers who fired in unison and with telling effect. The two men dropped dead, falling toward each other, after which "Tiros De Gracia' was given on the breasts and heads of the already dead men.

Senator Marigold delivered a long spech in favor of the bill, and Senator Ferris of Norwalk and Senator Fuller also favored the bill. Senator Ferris said that few people were aware what a big industry the oyster business really was. It meant trade of S75,O00 per year for Bridgeport.
 The bill was then passed unanimous ly.
 The judiciary committee reported fla vorably on the bill empowering the judges of the supreme court to appoint the liquor prosecuting agents in the different owns of the state. These of fcers are HOW appointed by the county commissioners.
 Adjourned until Wednesday at 11:3O a. m
 THE HOUSE.
 A bill concerning landlords and ten ants making the penalty $500 and a years imprisonment for the tenant who fraudulently imposes on the landlord, provoked a long discussion and was finally passed.

 The bill providing that liquor licenses can be attached for debt was passed.

 GENERAL ELECTRIC ROAD MEAS
 URES.
 In the senate a bill was passed pro- viding that the selectmen shall not al- low any electric road to change their grade without their approval, and a fine of $10O is provided for their neglect to carefully attend to the changing of such grade. During the discussion of the bill Senator Douglass said that an incip- tent lobby was at work placing obstruc- tfons in the way of electric road inter- ests. His remarks were very pointed and aimed at Henry c. Goodwin. He said the present electric road law was good enough.
 A bill was taken up by the house con- cerning the returns of street railway that they shall file an annual statement the same as that of the steam roads. Representative Gum, who arrived late, obtained a reconsideration for this bill, and it was tabled until tomorrow.

DIPHTHERIA

Too many homes bear this fear-inspir- ing placard, denoting the prevalence of that most insidious and dreaded of all diseases - Diphtheria.
 It is to-day 8 recognized fact among the best practitioners that nine out of ten cases formerly considered hopeless may be brought to happy termination by the use of that great original raw food product,
 Bovinine.
 This great blood-generating, life-main- taining, strength-developing and flesh producing product of lean, raw meat, contains the greatest amount of life preserving qualities in the least pos sible bulk of any preparation known.
 In cases of Diphtheria, Bovinine has special advantages. In this disease, as in others, the rapidity with which it is assimilated gives to it preference over all other foods, passing, as it does. into the system immediately, without causing the digestive organs to perform any labor And considering the fact that the lesions In the throat prevent the swallowing of solid food, it becomes an absolute neces- slty. In the worst cases, where even liquids cannot be taken by the mouth, Bovinine
 Saves Life
 by being used as an injection. Above all, Bovinine is in itself germicide, and in all such diseases as Diphtheria, caused by microbes, it not only performs it's greatest mission of maintaining life, but antidotes the existing bacilli.
 Bovinine has done wonders in thousands of cases of Diphtheria. When your doctor uses it you may cease to worry, and be assured of a speedy recovery. To neglect it's use may mean years of rennorse in the feeling that some loved one might still be with you if everything possible had been done. Bovinine is sold by all Druggists,
