soo' total weight thrown in 300 seconds, zl,loS lbs; weight thrown per minute, 4,S27 lbs.
 Machine guns are omitted.
 It will be noted that the weight thrown per minute were as 6,720; 4,327; this Is approximately as 139:100. Therefore the fire of the United States shlps, instead of being treble that of the spanish ships, was one-third great er' and this small difference could not alone account for the disparity in re- suits.
 CONCLUSIONS.
 The victory was due in part to the following causes:
 l. The greater accuracy of fire of the United States vessels.
 z. The use of wood in the Spanish ships to such an extent as to render the extinguishing of fire practically inn possible after several large shells had cut up water mains and hose.
 5. The greater number of guns of s inch calibre on the United States ships
 I. The better morals, due to the fact that all the crews had been under fire a number of times during bombardments along the Cuban coast, at Santiago de Cuba and at San Juan.
 D. The value of large secondary battery was demonstrated, for the work of the 6 pounders contributed largely in keeping down the enemy s fire by driving them from their guns. G. The necessity for more and better protection for the guns crews. With the men disabled or driven from their stations, the ship is of little value as a lighting machine. The armor of the Colon kept out inch shells at a range Of about 5000 yards, this would be a very great superiority in many cases. T. The small danger of injury to the Water-line portions of the ships. So far as it known no vessel was penetra- | ted between wind and water; moderate armor protection at the water-line, with strong protective deck would 1 permit more efficient distribution of the armor around the gun positions.

A DANGEROUS THING.

Lyman R. Sexton of Moodus came near losing an OK by electricity Monday evening and had an experience himself which he does not care to repeat. About half-past seven that evening a Polish boy on his way across the lot to F. R. Davison' S discovered the OK lying across the electric light wire, which crosses MT. Sexton's farm on the line between Moodus and Leesville. The boy realiz- ed the situation and informed MT. Da- vison and MT. Sexton of the situation as best his limited command of the English language would admit. On ar irving at the scene MT. Sexton threw a rope over the horns of the OK in order to swing it around off the wire, which was sizzling and burning the side of the animal. In doing this he received a severe shock which nearly knocked him down. He than took an axe and by careful manoeuvreing got stone under the wire and cut it in two. As soon as the circuit was broken the OK got up, gave below and started away. The ground for many feet in the vicin- ity of the wire was strongly charged with electricity, which made it rather ticklish and dangerous work rescuing the animal. The wire, which was not insulated, had become detached from the pole and lay for quite a distance on the ground. It is supposed the OK step- ped on it and received shock which felled it right across the wire. But for the timely discovery by the boy the OK would have soon died. The animal came out of the experience apparently not permanently injured.
 The lights in the village went out very slowly after the wire was cut, showing that the wet ground was high ly charged and conducted the circuit between the broken ends. The electri- elan of the plant in Leesville did not know of the break in the line until in- formed by MT. Sexton, and supposed everything was running as usual.- Connecticut Valley Advertiser.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
BIC ATTACHMENT PLACED ON
 PROPERTY OF LEE & HOYT.

The Suit Has Been In the Courts Over n ear-sayIes-F Case Taken to the Supreme COurt-N. II. Arfmann's Win Offered for Probate -Doings In the City Court.
 In consequence of an order issued by Judge Elmer of the superior court in Middletown, on the application of Law yer Charles $. Hamilton, the property of Lee & Hoyt, the wholesale butchers on Union street, was attached yester- day morning for $40,000. The property attached comprises seven pieces of the firm and it's individual members situ- ated on Union, Dewitt and Park streets and Howard avenue. The total valua- tion is $50,000.
 The attachment was made to secure any possible judgment which may be secured in the superior court in the final trial of the case brought against Lee & Hoyt by Dillon & Douglass, the wholesale dealers in butter, eggs and cheese on George street.
 The writ was brought in February, 1897. Dillon & Douglass put in cold storage at Lee & Hoyt's IA, 4S7 cases of eggs. They alleged that through the carelessness of Lee & Hoyt the prop erty became valueless, and the action at law was brought in consequence The case has been dragging along under the pleadings since, and are not closed yet Alling, Webb & Morehouse appear for Lee & Hoyt.
 JUSTICES DECISIONS.
 The suit brought two weeks ago by James Doyle against John Curran for damages for injuries received on Cur ran's property on York street was de- cided by Justice D. T. McNamara yes- terday morning in favor of the plain tiff, whe is awarded $38.22 damages and costs. Martin & Coyle appeared for the plaintiff and Fitzgerald & Walsh for the defendant.
 Justice J. J. Buchanan gave judgment to Mary Wayland against Frank Edge comb and wife in the summary process case heard Monday. The judgment carries with 1t a right in Mrs. Wayland to the immediate possession of the premises unless the defendants go to the court of common pleas on writ of error,
