arguments in the suit of the New York, company against George S. Scoville, an expressman of Middletown, yesterday The case will decide whether the rail- road company has a right to exclude all except authorized hacimen from the railroad stations in Connecticut,
 In Middletown the company granted the carriage rights at the station to a firm. MT. Scoville refused to obey the order of the company to keep off their property and accordingly the railroad brought injunction proceedings against him, claiming the authority to grant an exclusive carriage privilege to whom they wanted.
 In Massachusett a similar case was decided in favor of the company. The question has never before been tried in Connecticut. Attorney D. D. Rob- bins of Hartford and c. E. Bacon of Middletown appeared for the railroad company and Attorney M. D. Culver of Middletown for the congressman.

Fred T. Wilson Tells of the Hard Times
 at Chickamauga.
 The Ansonia Sentinel says: The fol- lowing extracts from letter sent to his mother, Mrs. Mary B. Wilson of Shelton, by Fred T. Wilson of Compa- ny c, Ninth regiment, New York Vol unteers, from Chickamauga, will show some of the discomforts of the soldiers life, even when in his own country and among his own kindred:
 Camp Thomas, Chickamauga,
 June Il, 1898. Dear Mother-I have been wondering what can be the matter at home, as l have written and have not received an answer yet. Are you all well? l have net felt well since I arrived here. It is the different climate, I suppose. l went to the surgeon and he gave me little pill, which is the same that he gives every one who is sick, no matter what the complaint. The grub is something awful The only thing we got on the train was coffee and hard tack, which were also our rations for a day after we reached here. We finally got a piece of pork, about the size of this envelope, burned so you could hardly eat it, with our hard-tack and coffee without milk or sugar. We have had some beef since, but three mems rations would about do for one man. Many of the boys now are having things sent them from home, things to eat, I mean, and we are doing better. They talk of starving Cubans; they should look to home and feed their sol diers If they don't feed them better or pay them so they can buy things to eat for themselves, there will be riot. Goodbye and write soon.

LAUNCH OF JAPANESE wARsHIP

WASHINGTON. January H. Miss

United States. The ceremony will take
place at Cramps ship-yard on the 10Th
instant. and viii be interesting in several
respects because of its novelty.
Minister Toru-Hoshi was notified n day
or two ago by Mr.. Cramp that the ship
was ready for launching. and invited
to name a sponsor. The Minister there
upon requested Miss Long to perform
the ceremony Of naming the ship, and
with her fathers assent, the young lady
accepted the invitation
The launching of the cruiser Will be
made a notable occasion. 1t is under
stood that the entire diplomatic corps
and many other prominent people have
been invited 10 attend, journeylng be-
tween washington and Philadelphia on
a special train TO be provided for the
purpose.
The cruiser is to be named Kasagi, and
for the first time there will be a depar-
ture from the usual custom in launching
ships of christening the craft with the
contents of a bottle of champagne or
other wine This practice has always
been Objectionable TO temperance folks.
and to some Christians, who felt that
the christening with wine was a desecra-
ton.
At the christening Of the Kasagi there
will be no smashing Of a bottle, but In
stead the craft will be chrstened ac-
cording to the beautiful Japanese Gus
tom, and as she gides into the water of
the Delaware Miss Long will pronounce
her name while loosening a Ellken bag
and releasing a white pigeon, a bird
which is held sacred by the Japanese in
such ceremonies.
