A Curoner's Verdict Pronounoing 1t AocI
 dental.

New York, Jan. S.--The inquest into the death of Mrs. Runnett, whose body was found on the street on December 2S, the skull having been fractured, was terminated this afternoon before Coroner Hoeber, Joseph Katz, the man who first aroused q suspicion that there had been foul play, thereby causing
 the arrest of A. c. Nellis on suspicion, having refused to repeat his charges, his father, Ferdinand Katz, was called
 by MT. Nellis' lawyer. He testified that
 he no longer recognized Joseph as his son, and that he had refused to have anything to do with him since the
 time, fifteen years ago, when Josephs
 wayward conduct led to a rupture be- tween them. He would not believe his sons utterances under oath
 The lawyers then produced court
 records showing that Joseph Katz had
 in former case committed perjury,
 and had afterwards confessed that he
 had done so.
 A long affidavit from MT. Runnett, Mrs. Runnett's husband, who is an in-
 valid, was read. In his statement, MT. Runnett completely eXonerated his uGtu NllG IlOlLl St4IS NAliL 5tS OL llll- morality made against her.
 Mrs. Joseph katz testified that she was married to Joseph 1<atz three months ago, but had since been de- serted by him. She had caught him in so many lies, she added, that she too would hesitate to believe anything he might say. Mrs. Emilia "Kraemer" of No 9SS
 East Thirty-eighth street testified that
 she was married to her husband, whose name she now bore, in 1886, and had lived With him three years, bearing him two children. He then deserted her. They were never divorced, however. When asked whether he was present in court, she promptly pointed at Joseph Katz sitting in one of the rear benches, and said that he was the man. Young ka'tz appeared nervous and tried to leave the room, but he was told to sit down, while a messenger was at once dispa tened to the indictment at torney in attendance on the grand l jury.
 Mrs. "Kraemer" then continued her testimony. saying, like the others, that l she would not believe her former hus- band under oath
 William Morrison, a negro, who saw | Mrs Runnett fall to the street, gave testimony concerning his observations, The ease was then closed.
 l Ire verdict of the jury was: eve fnd that the said Jane Runnett came | to her death by accidentally falling from the stoop of No. 251 West Sev- l enty-sixth street to the areaway there- l by sustaining "a fracture of the skull. We exonerate A. C. Nellis and all the 1 inmates of the house from blame in | connection with the accident
 After the verdict was rendered, Cor
 oner Hocber congratulated MT Nells
 and shook him by the hand. He then
 made a little speech to all those con | nected with the case, explaining that he
 was only striving to do his duty and bore malice to none.

 SCHOOL U'.IS DIMINISHED.
Srauford's High school Expensive but Un- cnmfortab!s-TaxDsynr Are Indignant.

Srauford's High school Expensive but Un-
 comfortab!s-TaxDay" Are Ind dgnant. Branford, Jan. S.-School was held in the new high school building to-day only in two rooms because of the in- tense cold, and the teachers and board of education are thoroughly aroused over the condition of affairs existing at the building The dissatisfaction dates back to the building of the struc- ture. The specifications called for a building to cost 5000 completed, and the contract was awarded to the Bran ford Building company for that amount. When the contractors came to erect the building they found it would cost much more than the contract price, and oper- ations soon had to be abandoned for lack of funds. A special town meet ing was called, and an additional ap- pTopriat ton granted for the work. This was soon exhausted, and the operation had to be repeated. This occurred five times before the building was finally completed. al q total cost of S20. .000. The heating plant which was placed in the building cost S3,500 and was thought sufficient for all purposes. This winter it was found insufficient to heat the building, and during the cold snap a month ago the building had to be clos ed week, as it was 100 cold to be ten able. Then the water pipes. which were run through the partitions, burst, causing great damagA to the building \ considerable sum was expended re- pairing the damage and new dumb ing plant was constructed, this time free from the partitions
 The affair has caused much indigna- tion among taxpayers here. and it is probable that a committee will be aa- pointed to look into the thing. looking to remedy for the trouble, and report to the proper authorities.

pr. w. E. s. Preston, House Physician of the House of Rest for Consumptives," of Fremont, N, Y,, says, "I have never known a case where the stomach has rejected Bovinine. In cases of collapse, so common among con- sumptives, we always use it. " Bovinine being easy to take, and quick of assimilation and a won- derful food product, at once starts on its mission of creating strength, flesh and blood. It tones up the vital organs and by thus invigorating them, enables them to throw off disease and gives to the sufferer new lease of life where such a thing is possible.

Ticket Muzzles the AbIest Leaders and
Speakers Of the Dem ocratIc PARTY, and
Leaves the Field Uncontested.
Judge Grnbb has been lifelong Dem
ocrat, and was, prior to his elevation to
the bench, quite active In politics and
recognized ss one of the inaster minds of
the state organization; bat he will not
support the Chicago nominees and plat
form.
This morning an EVENING JOURNAL
reporter met him on Market street, aud,
in the course of conversation. asked him
how he regarded the action Of the Obi
cago convention.
"Well, really, l am Judge aud not at
present political leader or manager, he
said, "but, being a Judge, have not
ceased to be citizen, with the duties Of
citizen, and, as such, have very clear
and positive opinions Of the duty of q
true citizen.
Il have been long and unwaver
ing Democrat from the middle of the war
to the present, and on principle, and l
propose to continue so. Being that kind
of Democrat cannot support the com
munistic platform and candidates of the
Chicago Convention, and will not.
Iu my opinion the bsst thing
for both the Democratic party
and the welfare Of the people is for our
coming Democratic State Convention, and
all honest and manly Democrats every
where, to repudiate this communicate
Chicago platform and the candidates
nominated, and promulgete q true
and patriotic platform, and nomi-
nate Presidential electors of the
highest ability and integrity 10
ft It. and go before the people, both OF
this state and throughout the Union and
take the risks like men, and so down, II
we have to, with our honor and self

would be to abdlcate our manhood and
I prostitute our conscience.
Il have no respect for the puslllanlmity
Of some OF our public man In a juncturs
| like this. l say this as a Democrat OF
the strictest sect who has never yet
scratched his ticket
ANY other oourse will muzzle the
ablest leaders and speakers of the Demo

campaign, from giving that Information
and counsel to the people, In 8
great emergency like THE, which
1t is their duty to do, land leave
the field uncontested to the advocates o
