$50 AND COSTS.
Awarded to James DeCnrIO For the Death of His SOn-HOlmes. Tooth & Haydens' Appeal.

Awarded to James DeCnrIO For the
 Death of His SOn-HOlmes, Tooth S
 Haydens' Appeal.
 In the case of James DeCarlo vs tue N. Y., N. H. S H. R. R. Go. judgment was rendered by Judge Wheeler, this morning in favor of the plaintiff to recover $50 and costs. This was the case where the son of the plaintiff was struck by the cars iu Naugatuck and died from the injuries.
 A hearing was given this morning be- fore Judge Wheeler on the appeal of Holmes. Booth & Haydens against an as sessment made by the city. On August 5. 1889. the court of common council on recommendation of the board of compen- sation levied an assessment for benefits on Holmes, Booth X Hay dens. for the lay out of South Riverside street, and fixed the sum at S4 ,OS7 50. August 20. 1889. an appeal was taken from that assessment. What led up to that appeal was as follows: On Janu- ary 26, 1888. on the petition of the N. Y. N E R. R. and the city an order was is sued by the railroad commissioners that South Riverside street be changed between its crossings at grade over the tracks of the New England road and Burnham street. so that the location of sad street from said Burnham street to Bank street was so changed that said hlVerslde street, was made to pass under said railroad and in the same place and coincident with said Burnham street. This would discontinue the portion of South Riverside street, between Burnham street and the crossing at grade of South River side street. An appeal was taken by the city and the superior corrt on November Is. 1889, established a lay out of the s'reet almost similar 10 the order of the commis- soners and ordered the work done before December 3l. 1889. On January 21. 1889. the court of common council voted for It and on April the street was laid out On June 3, tue amount of assess ment of benefits and damages was re- ferred to the board of compensation and that board assessed the benefits appealed from. The plaintiffs claim that the pres ent layout of the street was unauthorized by law and the assessment invalid.

Whenever we hear of anything new possessing any particular merit, We make It point to secure that article. and when we are convinced of its merits and feel that 1t will benefit our patrons to know of It, We lose no time in acquainting them with particulars, for. being the leading house in cOrsets, we believe it to be our duty to not only stock our store with the latest and best goods in the market, but also to give our personal endorsement and approval 10 any article which we know from experience of investigation to be par ticularly adapted to their wants.
 We desire to call particular attention to the ''Nemo" corsets, a full line of which We have placed in stock. It IS a mechani- cal principle that three strips of cloth together afford more than three times the strength of one strip.
