THAT FLAG CONTEST.

Principal Scudder of the high school when inquired of yesterday about the flag affair at the high school, when pupils of the Boardman Training school placed their school flag on tel egraph pole near the high school, which was promptly torn dovE1 by high school boys.
 There was a blue and white flag with yellow B hung up near the high school" said Principal Scudder, "al- though did not see it. But all through this flag business there has been no ill., feeling. It has all been friendly. True, some of the boys had their clothing torn, but that was natural in the rough play. In cane rush, while at college, I had my clothing badly torn on one occasion. There is no athletics now no base or football, or boating-and the boys have to have something to give play to their exuberant spirits. But now the flag business must stop and our boys have agreed to drop it. There will be conference between Professor Hackett of Hillhouse and Principal Mather of the Boardman school, and an arrangement will un- doubtedly be made to stop any further contests over the flags"

 Tells all about Her Troubles when
 Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
 "At the age of two months, my baby began to have sores break out on his right cheek. We used all the external ap- plications that we could think or hear of, to no avail. The sores spread all over one side of his face. We consulted a physi- clan and tried his medicine, and in week the sore was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous look ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It grew worse and worse, and when he was three months old, I began giving him Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took Hoods Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle was finished, the sores were well and have never returned. He is now four years old, but he has never had any sign of those scrofulous sores since he was cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very grateful. My boy owes his good health and smooth, fair skin to this great med icine." MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

 scriber to Windham Bank
 In recent issue of the Willimantic Chronicle Albert N. Colgrove has an interesting sketch of Thomas Rams
 dell of Windham, who is now in his

 his mother Clarissa Collins. There were five other sons and four daughters, now all deal. William was Buffalo, N. r., broker. Orrin P. was in the wholesale shoe business in Buffalo and Charles was also in the shoe business there, retiring later to Mansfield. He
 was father of Mrs. J. D. Bentley Of Willimantic. John Henry was Mans
 field blacksmith, while Albert N. was a well known New London banker and at
 one time president of the New London Northern railroad.
 Of the daughters, Harriet married
 MT. Collins of Lynn, Mass; Maria be-
 came Mrs. Paine wife of Dayton, O.,
 bank cashier, and died in Putnam; | Mary Ann was Mrs. Sidney Paine, whose husband was a New London whaler, and Rebecca married George Baldwin, who was portrait painter of Putnam.
 MT. Ramsdell was blacksmith by trade and removed to Windham from
 Mansfield in 1880. On April 2, 1883. he
 married Mary Lathrop, daughter of Captain John Lathrop of Windham. She died November IS, 1883. There were three children--John, who died when four years old; Mrs. Annie R.. Watrous of Hartford and Mary L., wife of Guilford Smith of South Windham, | who is the vice regent of Anne Wood
 Elderkin chapter, D. A. R., of Willi- mantle.
 When Mir. Ramsdel went to live in | Windham there were twelve stores there and six lawyers. Justin Swift and Waterman and Chester Clark were | the leading merchants. Now there are but two stores, and as for lawyers well, as MT Ramsdell facetiously re- l marked, we can get along without any"

OF EMBRACERY.

yesterday fined Lee $100 An appeal was taken to the common pleas court and bonds of $500 were furnished by Richard Doyle of 65 Hallock street. The circumstances of this case are stated in the judges finding as follows:
 That case was pending in the superior court, civil side, of this coun- ty, between Ransom Chatfield and George B. Bunnell, ct al.
 2-That the accused knew of the pen dency of the case.
 S-Conrad Hofacker had been drawn and summoned as a juror of said court for the trial of cases pending therein the case of Chatfield vs. Bunnell being one of them.
 1.-The accused knew that said Ho- facker had been so drawn and sum
 moned.
 5--After said drawing, on the third day of January, 1898, the accused went to the house of said Hofacker, where he met Mrs. Hofacker and in- quired for MT. Hofacker, and being | informed that he was not at home he | then inquired where he was, and she | told him that MT. Hofacker was at l John Weidner's shoe shop on Day street.. He went to said shop, and on finding MT. Hofacker he asked if he
 would talk with him for minute
 alone. He then led Mir Hofacker into 1 the hall and the door was shut. He
 then said to MT. Hofacker, .You are a
 juror in the superior court, civil side" | and Mr. Hofacker replying in l the affirmative, he told him there was a case coming up between Chatfield and Bunnell and that one of | the parties was his friend, and he | hoped he would win out; that he had
 won out twice before, and he hoped he would win again; that his words and
 manner were such that Mir. Hofacker told him to shut up his mouth, turned
 and left him, refusing to listen to him 1 further.
 | 6-The court does not find any evi- dence that any of the parties authoriz- ed or asked the accused to see MT. Ho- facker.
 7-The court does find that the accus. ed had no other reason or excuse fol
 calling on MT. Hofacker than for the purpose of trying to influence his ac. tion as juror in said case and that
 this action and conversation proven do come within the definition of em. l bracery. There is no evidence, how. ever that he attempted or intended tc attempt to influence the jurors actior
 in any other way than by persuasion
 I cannot believe that he realized the
 enormity of the offense he committed
 and therefore shall take Jurisdiction
 and inflict a penalty rather than bint | him over.
