For more than five hundred veal

For more than five hundred years
our best chemists and scientific men
have been laboring to reproduce dia-
mond by artificial means. After long
study and many failures what was
thought to be an impossibility has been
practically accomplished. Within the
last few weeks a limited number of
these stones were imported by a lead
ing diamond merchant, which to all
appearances are genuine diamonds.
Neither pains nor expense has been
spared to make these gems equal to
natures own production. They are cut
by regular diamond cutters and IN some
instances, outside of their intrinsic
value, are superior to real diamonds.

The commanders of the different regiments, ,battalions and batteries composing the brigade gave the necessary orders to their subordi- mates, who began to assemble their men. The latter responded readily to the summons of their officers, and each armory soon became the scene of lively preparations for active duty in the field.

Powerful Address by the Rev. Dr. M0xom
 of Springfield.
 Rev. P. s. Moxom, D. D., of Spring. field, Mass. preached most interest," ing sermon in the United church yes- terday morning on "The Love of God"
 In the evening he spoke on "The Norwegian Method of Hanolng the Liquor Traffic" pr. Moxom was in Norway last summer and thoroughly studied the working of this system. His remarks were very attentively in- teresting and listened to by a large audience. He said in the course of his remarks that the system commonly called the Norwegian system originated in Gutenberg and was adopted in Nor- way and Sweden in 1879. Tn no country on the globe was years ago gross drunkenness so prevalent as in Norway and Sweden. The annual consumption of spirituous liquors in 1879 was IA 2-10 quarts for every man, woman and baby. Under the working of the new plan the annual consumption has been reduced to 8-10 quarts per capita. The figures in neither case take into consideration the consumption of wine and beer of which considerable quan- titles were and are still used. Under the old system good citizens became alarmed at the terrible results mani- fest in both large and small towns and they determined to strike at the root of the whole liquor business by taking away the incentive of personal gains, or in other words depriving the saloon- keeper of all the profit in the business The speaker enlarged upon the features of it's plan, its limitation as to price, quality and quantity, hours of sale This plan has succeeded in absolutely eliminating politics from the saloon business, also the pernicious evils of treating, gambling and the sale of poor liquor. The speaker highly commended the Norwegian system.
 There is now bill before the Mas sachusetts legislature providing for the adoption of a system which is prac- ticaily the Norwegian system. It is receiving attention and no doubt will be heard from soon. The speaker brought out the point that the opposi- tion to the bill comes largely from the manufacturers of liquors, who are employing the most able talent to op- pose the bill. There were many other strong points in the address.

Sermon by the Rev. 0. E. Ford at the How
 ard Avenue M. E. Church.
 Rev. c. B. Ford pastor of the How ard avenue Congregational church preached a very interesting sermon be- fore the members of the West Side club last evening. His text was; Run Speak to That Young Man. Zech ii:4. His sermon was one to young men. In it he said: Man is a com posite being, which, body, soul and spirit unite to make complete. The proper development of young man is to the perfection of manhood. Now whatever tends to the we'll being and perfection of one of the parts contrib utes so much to the completion of the tention and care. A sound, healthy body is needed as the fit tabernacle of vigorous, efficient soul. (2) The in tellectual must be cultivated. Be care full not to give too much time to recrea- ton and amusement, but do not con- dernn all. Give attention to reading and study, but be careful what you read The most deadly polsons are not more destructive to the body than a certain class of so-called literature to the mind. Never pretend to know what you do not. Seek for the truth and do not contend merely for vic tory. Never seek to exalt yourself by pulling down others, Avoid bad asso- ciates, familiarity with scenes of vice, conversation and bad books"

INJUNCTION CASE.

The Fair Haven and Westville Road and
 Its Crossing at Bridge Street.
 Late Saturday afternoon Judge Stud ley of the common pleas court granted an injunction prayed out by the Con- solidated railroad, through it's attor- neys, Bristol, Stoddard & Bristol, re- straing the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company from placing it's poles and stringing it's wires over the steam railroad company's track at the Bridge street crossing at Belle dock.
 The injunction is substantially the same as the one which was prayed out and subsequently dissolved last April by Judge Hall One of the counts in the complaint states that the Fair Ha- ven and Westville Railroad company threatens and intends to locate and construct upon the plaintiffs property permanent structures of wood and iron ties, rails, poles, etc., and to place the same in, upon and over the soil of the plaintiffs property lines of railroad and other structures. Said threatened and intended construction IldlHIldlly lIltIlGlGo anu VIII llllGIlSl0 with the necessary operation of the plaintiffs line of track, and interferes with it's business, and will prevent the proper and necessary use and operation of gates in use by the plaintiff corpora tion to protect the public.
 It was after o'clock when the de- cree was signed by Judge Studley. A permanent injunction was asked for by the Consolidated Railroad company, but Judge Studley decided to grant only a temporary injunction. After Attorney George D. Watrous, counsel flo the Fair Haven and Westville | Railroad company, had re- ceived a. copy of the decree, he im- l saw Judge Studley and an I effort will be made this morning to | secure a hearing on the dissolution of | the injunction.

in Bed.
 There was an unusual scene at No. 2's engine house yesterday afternoon about 4;SO o'clock when the alarm of fire rung in from box 34 and for a few minutes it looked as though the truck would not be able to respond to the alarm. When the alarm came in the horses baked and refused to go out Finally, however, they we're hustled into the harness and the ap- paratus left the house, but not until after the alarm had ceased ringing.
 After the horses had been harnessed to the truck they again baked and caused another delay. When they were finally got out of the house the apparatus was driven down St. John street at gait hardly faster than a walk and did not arrive at the scene of the fire until long after the ap- paratus from As house. At 2s house last evening no information could be obtained as to the cause of the baking and delay, but bystander who saw the whole affair said that in his opinion the horses were not properly har- messed.
 The fire was in a room in the top floor of the house 479 Chapel street, occupied as a boarding house by James Clancy. The room was occupied by Louis Sullivan. About 4:15 o'clock the servant girl saw smoke issuing from under and over the top of the door of Sullivan's room and sent in an alarm. Sullivan was brought out of the room partly overcome from the ef- fects of the smoke The fire was con- fined to the bedding, which was com pletely destroyed. The damage will amount to about $25. It is believed that Sullivan was smoking in the bed and fell asleep, setting fire to the bed.
