 of fDivorce-Assignmcn of Trixy Cigar
 Company-Several New Suits Filed.
 The matter of dispute between the Consolidated railroad and the Fair Ha- ven and Westville Railroad company is in a fair way to be temporarily set tied. Commenced in May, 1894, it is still on the docket of the superior court. although having been taken to the su- preme court of errors. Before Judge Roraback yesterday morning Judge appeared and asked that judgment be given for the Consolidated road in &C., cordance with the advice of the su- preme court.
 The trouble is over the right of way at the crossing on the foot of Bridge street, where the cars of the trolley company pass over the tracks of the steam railroad at grade en route to the Steamboat dock. The superior court has concluded that the contention ot the steam railroad company is right and that the trolley company is guilty of trespass.
 The trolley road opposes the motion and asks for more evidence and for the right to condemn the land on which the crossing is located.

A SUICIDE NEAR DANBuRY.

Danbury, Sept. 30.-Herman Luckhe, aged sixty years, a gardener, who lived at Beaver Brook, about three miles from this city. committed suicide this afternoon by taking poison. Marital troubles were said to be the cause. AL though not ordinarily drinking man, on account of trouble he had with his wife recently he has been indulging freely. Late this afternoon he was found unconscious in the loft of his barn and though medical aid was sum- moned when the mans condition was seen, he expired before the physician arrived. A horse medicine composed chiefly of arnica and chloroform was the poison used.

American Commissioners Display Inter-
 est in Prohibition Election

est in Prohibition Election.
 Quebec, Sept, 50-Several of the American commissioners exhibited the greatest interest in yesterdays prohibi- tion election. The result especially ap- pealed to Congressman Nelson A. Ding ley, While declining to discuss the sit uation in Canada, MT. Dingley made several observations respecting the working of the law in his native state
 There is no question about the bene- ficial effect it has exercised in Maine" :" he said "Pauperism and crime have diminished while practically every rural portion has been transformed into a sober community
 The Hon. Joseph Martin, attorney general of British Columbia, went west last night, seemingly well satisfied with the result of his representations to the Canadian commissioners. He discussed at length every issue in which the prov ince is interested. He also had pri- vate conference with Lord Herschel. MT. Martin also had another mission. He formally made an application on be- half of his government to the federal government for the transfer of the Yukon or Klondike to the territorial sovereignty of British Columbia.
 It is understood that the government will shortly appoint a commission to in- vestigate the charges of official malad- ministration in the Klondike. Such a move has been equally urged by it's friends and political opponents. One result will be the abolition of the right of officers to hold claims; another may be wholesale disnlissals from the ser vice. There is good reason to believe that the government is seriously con- sidering the advisability of abolishing the 10 per cent, royalty tax.

Two months ago, last Monday, wal
broke out between the United States
and Spain according TO the procia-
nation of the President and the
declaration of Congress and the re-
suit is summed up by the officials OF
the administration as follows:
The end OF that period finds nearly
10000 United States troops lying oil
Santiago preparing to lard; IL tnos
cable communication established be
tween the government at Washing
ton and the advance guard OF the eX
pedition in Cuba, and it finds Cuban
territory in the possession of United
States marines backed by squadron
and nearly all OF the commercial ports
of Cuba blockaded. This is all apart
from Dewey's great victory at Manila
and from the aplendid results achlev-
ed in organizing several armies now
in the camps"
The result, in the opinion of the
officials, gives them the right to look
back with pride over what has been
accomplished in that period OF time,
but it is little disappointing to those
who were induced to believe by their
predictions that the war would end
in sixty days.

The position taken by the Hon
VIM. J. Bryan on the subject of ter
ritorial extension, in a speech al
Omaha, a few days ago, has beer
commended by the great body o.
democrats throughout the country as
sound and statesmanlike. regardless
of their views on the money question
The most of the gold-bug democrat;
even not only agree with him in his
opposition to imperialism, but ex-
press the hope of a reunited party Oh
that platform, and notably among
those who concur in the views OF the
Nebraska statesman is the late presi
dent of the United States II

recently at Lawrenceville School
near Princeton. n. J he but voiced
the sentiment of Mr.. Bryan, in saying,
that the threatened adoption of an

Quest and foreign war was great
danger to the safety and principles Of
true American citizenship. as he IN
derstood them, and complete de-
parture from the mission of this

Troops Landed Near Santiago.

Washington, June %. TO day, just
week after the United States troops
left Tortugas, they began TO disen-
bark on Cuban soil landing in forma-
rion at two points, so as to attack
Santiago in the rear and at the sides,
with the navy to help the work in
front. Thus the military invasion of
Cuba may be said to have fairly be
gun, for though the United States
marines were the first of the regular
forces TO land upon Cuban soil, their
purpose after all Was not invasion,
but the establishment OF a naval base
and base for Il cable station, in both
Of which they were eminently sue
ces>ful. To the regular troops was
left the beginning OF the formidable
task OF invading Cuba IN force by
land.

Captain-General Blanco says he
cannot allow the exchange OF Lieu
tenant Hobson and the other NELL
bers of the party who sailed The
Merrimac into the mouth OF the har-
Dor at Santiago de Cuba, for the rea-
son that the Lieutenant and his com
panions had opportunities for seeing
the harbor anu its defenceS. The
most common prudence, the Captain
General says, would forbid that these
men be now given their liberty a>
proposed by the United States.
1t was hoped that Hobson and his
gallant crew would soon be released,
but if that is not done, the Spanish
officials ought TO be impressed with
the fact by our Government, that II
is important to take mighty gooo
care of them. and that nothing less
than the heads of Blanco, Ceryera
and a score or more of their officers
would appease the wrath OF this
country if either Of them should be
the victim of Spanish treachery.

Santiago will soon be attacked by
land and sea and it seems to be in
accord with the fitness OF things that
that place should be the first in Cuba
to feel the power OF the United States
in the present war. There twenty
five wears ago, a few hours after their
CAPTURE on the Steamer Virglnius,
fifty-three American citizens were
shetland it may be, that it is the hrSf
TO be attacked because of the desire
to avenge the murder OF our country
men without further delay The
place in which our countrymen were
so foully murdered, ali Americans AT
least will agree, ought to be the first
place to suffer in this war.
