WAS AGAINST CAPT. DAY
DECIDES THAT THE ACT OF 1897
WAS ABOLISHED
AND That The ElW ACT IS VALID
| Toes not Show that il Was Passed for the
Purpose Ct Custing the Superinten-
dent. The Case Now Goes
TO Suprt M Court.

The outcome of the suits against Capt.
w. H.. Day by the new board of direc-
tors for the possession of the States
Prison is awaited with great deal of
interest. These suits were entered on
the 18th ult., and argued before Judge
Brown at chambers on the 9th inst.
Yesterday Judge Brown filed his opin-
ion which was in favor of the board.
He decides in favor of the validity of
the act of the Legislature of January
%, 1899.
The defendant, Cant. Day. took an
appeal to the Supreme court, waving
notice and the case is expected to be pre-
sented and passed ON by the present
setting of the Supreme court.
The following is Judge Browns opin-
ion:
This cause came on to be heard upon
the pleadings. Plaintiffs and defendants
moved for Judgment.
The court, having given the matter
as careful consideration as under the
circumstances was possible, finds the
following conclusions of law. That the
office of Superintendent of the peniten,
tttlS his lNth ny AANb VI l1ofs has bttii
abolished by the Act of January 26th
1899.
That said office has not been substan-
TALLY re-established in another form,
nor has its emohments powers and
duties been conferred on others for the
purpose of ousting the defendant.
That by the Act of January 26. 1899,
the General Assembly mas made Il radi-
cal change in the method of managing
and conducting the penal institution of
the State, which it was clearly within
the scope and power of the Legislative
department to do.
That said act creates a corporation
with all necessary and sufficient powers
to carry into effect the purposes of
the Act.
These findings cover the points dis
cussed
1t is therefore ordered and adjudged
that the plaintiffs are entitled to the
possession and custody and control of
the States Prison. the convicts therein
and to all the property and accessories
belonging thereto

eight minutes and subsequently roasted
half an hour. The latter was the way
in which the packing houses said their
canned roast beef was prepared. -Four
other plates of the same variety of
meat were served cold. AS a result of
the test four of the enlisted men
picked out the Porto Rico canned beef
as what they had eaten in Cuba. Two
selected the canned meat bought in
open market. Two picked out the fresh
beef which had been simply boiled. OF
the cold meat, two men picked the
Porto Rican canned beef. four the
canned beef bought in open market, and
two the boiled fresh beef None Of
them picked out the fresh beef BOILED
and roasted according to the packing
house receipt.
Major George III. Sands, of The cngin-
eer corps, testified that his experience
with the canned roast had been rather
more limited than that of some of the
officers who had testified, but said that
On the whole it prove satisfactory
ration. The refrigerator beef received
at his camp usually ha1 to be trimmed
before using but lost little weight N
this way and was gene ,aly satisfactory
Arthur Meeker, general manager for
Armour and Company Ges ';''hed in a
general way and at length the process
of purchasing, slaughtari;.g the beef and
packing the meats prepared by mis- firm.
The recital was identical in detail with
the testimony given by all the packing
house representa- ives - he war lnvcs-
tigating commission.
Colonel Davis then turned TO the
chemical phase of the inquiry and ask
ed:
What agent do you depend on for
the preservation of dressed beaf'"
Cold air." witness replied, 'abSo.
lutely nothing else"
Regarding canned roast beef wit
ness said there was no distinction
between the packing cattle and those
for refrigerating except that the can
ners and packers Were leaner so as to
not get so much fat in the can. The
leanest part of the carcass was selected
for packing.
Witness said his company turned out
about 100000 pounds of canned
meats last year. The only by-produet
of the canned beef was the water in
which the meat was boiled which furn-
iSHeu an lHHHlteSiHldl amount OF Deer
extract"
Pressed to say how much beef ex-
tract would be made in packing hun
dred pounds of beef, witness plea.lcd
Ignorance of exact figures, adding that
it was impossible to extract more than
one and one-half or two per- cent of
nutriment boiling meat. He said in
this connection that the beef extract
business done by his company was in
considerable.
A certified copy of letter from Lord
Wolseley, of the British army, was pre-
scented to the court, in which he spoke
in very favorable terms of ''tinned meats
and vegetables" for practical use in
tropic campaigning.
The testimony of the other represnn-
tatiyes of packing companies revealed
nothing new.

OLD SOLDIERS REMEMBERED
A Contribution from Union Soldiers in
Connecticut

Acts of kindness are not always for
gotten.
This is brought forcibly to mind by
letter received by Capt j. j. Thomas
from Judge Lester u. Phelps, of Rock
vile. Conn. on Tuesday, enclosing IA
check as a contribution from the AS
ISOLATION of Union Prisoners OF War in
Connecticut for the Confederate Sol
diers' Home here The gift was highly
appreciated, not alone for its value, hut
for the friendly spirit that prompted
and accompanied it.
The contribution sent by Judge Phelps
was i'll conformity to an action taken at
the annual meeting of the Union Pris-
Oners Of War Association of Connectl-
cut. held in Hartford. February list.
The extract from the proceedings of
the Association as published III the Hart
ford Times Feb. ID explains their
action relative to this matter:
president Phelps called attention to
an occurrence of great interest that
took place at Raleigh n. c., while the
Union prisoners were being taken
through to the Union lines. There We're
numbers of sick and suffering, and Miss
Eta Montague OF the North Carolina
capital. sent quantity of supplies, in
Guiding tea, biscuit and butter and sweet
potatoes. with her compliments, for the
sick Federal soldiers. At the present
time there is Il home for Confederate
soldiers in Raleigh, and President Phelps
thought that donation to the home
might be most admirably sent there by
the Connecticut Prisoners Association.
The daughter of Il Rockville command
or is in Raleigh ut the present time
teaching music. The Woman's Relief
Corps Of Rockville has taken the initial
tive in the project and has sent small
sum. most of which was contributed by
interested parties The Association
took favorable action concerning the
idea"
This recalls to mind the contribution
of the Relief Corps of the Grand Army
at Rockville, Conn. TO the recent Con-
federate Bazaar, held here. This do
nation YVES due to the efforts of Mrs.
Martin, of that city. the mother of Miss
Ida Martin. who is one of the efficient
music teachers ut ST. Mary's school.
Mrs. Martin was here on visit when
the preparations were being made to
hold the Bazaar and on her return
home she interested herself i'll securing
contribution to the Bazaar, which
WAS highly appreciated by the ladies and
others who had charge af the Bazaar.

that it should be ratified by the Queen

very point was discussed by the peace
commissioners at Paris, the Spanish
commissioners desiring to require the
ratification of tbs Cortes bat finally TAX
ing the other course. perhaps with a
view to avoiding the very trouble which
has overcome Sagasta.
Leaving aside the desire of our people
to be regular and correct in all attitudes
it is a question whether our Government
would not actually profit by the loss o.
the treaty. provided this loss could be
charged to the action of the Spanish
Government.
The United States, it can be stated on
the highest authority, would refuse to
surrender the Philippines, anu on he
other hand would be relieved from the
treaty obligation to pay the Spanish
Government $20,000,000 on account Of
the cession of the islands. Cuba would
