POIICY-HOLDERS LIABLE.

Judge Thayer in the superior court
rendered an important and far-reach-
ing decision in the long drawn-out liti-
cation over the affairs Of the Connecti-
cut Life Insurance company yesterday.
This corporation formerly did business
under the name of the Waterbury In
demnity company, later gaining noto-
riety of the unpleasantest sort during
the hearing of the sensational charges
against Insurance Commissioner Fred
erick A. Belts before the general as
sembly. Mr.. Belts, it will be remem-
bered, came out of the fiery ordeal I'M
blemished, and his reputation for hon
esty is stronger than ever in the opin-
ion of the public Judge Thayer's de-
cision dealt with the supplemental APP
plication concerning assessments made
by the receiver, the New Haven Trust
company through it's attorneys, White
& Daggett.
nthe case of the E. P. Judd compa-
ny against J. Britain Miller, the divin-
ity student who stole books, the court
grants the demurrer against the ac-
ceptance Of the report of James e.
Wheeler, the committee. The report
gave Judgment for the plaintiff to re-
cover $4,000. The court orders that the
report be sent back to the committee
for a more explicit statement. The de-
cree leaves the finding of the commit
tee untouched. The court merely wants
the report put in more definite form.
The application of A. E. Winchell, ex-
ecutor for the opening of the Judgment
against the estate of Miss Marietta
Bailey, obtained by Howard H. Sanger
is denied. The Judgment was for $4,000
Sanger claimed the money was due him
for services as nurse. The executor
claimed that the services had been paid
for by a legacy in Miss Baileys will,
BY the decree of the court Sanger re-
tains the legacy Of $4,000 and the court
Judgment of $4,000 besides.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 1O.-There was

days. Rain is predicted, turning into
snow. It will take only light rainfall
to cause big rise in the rivers. At
noon the Ohio was rising, that stream
having swollen six inches since the 8
o'clock report,
waiting for orders, and most of the
boats tied up down the river will be
homeward bound by tomorrow morn
ing. Some have already started. There
was a moderate rainfall UP the ALLIE

There was a good stage OF water In
the Ohio and there IL every indication
that there will be bHrge-shlpplng
stage. There IL much snow in the AL

rain will cause that stream to boom.
When the ice on the MonOngahela

Iicye the conditions. The Ice IL also

At1:5o O'Clock this morning the break

movement of Ice is coming from above,
and was arst reported to the Intelll-
gencer from the water works pumping
station at slacktown. At q o'clock the
ice was moving from above the steel
bridge. 1t soon began to pile up against
the gorge at the lower end of the Island.
and at $3.50 O'Clock the Ice there was seen
to be letting go. At Bellalre the ice
had not begun to move, but it started
a few minutes later. and the entire up-
per Ohio is now free Of gorges. and viii

AT the wharfboat the crew had the
boat in good shape. and the Ice up to
o'clock this morning had done no dam.
age. The towboats ana lows below
whlskey run and the Lizzie Townsend
at West Wheeling were in good shape
at an early hour this morning.
1t is predicted that navigation will
have resumed before the endof the pres
ent week. Yesterday afternoon Captain
Crockard, of the wharfboat, received a
telegram from Pittsburgh, stating that
the ice in the Allegheny was coming
out on a rise. and that breakup in
the Ohio could be expected at any mo-
ment.
Captain Crockard said last night that
he anticipated the breakup here would
come some time this morning after or
Q o'clock. though 1t was possible that
the contributions by side streams would
bring the rise to Wheeling earlier than
he counted on, and in that event the ice
might pass out early this morning. The
Ice here is detached at both shores. and
is held back only by'th fact that there
is practically no current. The almost
entire absence of current is accounted
for by the Ice gorges below this port.
1t is expected that there will be a
resumption of navigation in the upper
Ohio before the end of the week. Cap
tain Henderson, Of the Pittsburgh &
Cincinnati packet line, expects to start
the Virginia Friday, and the other
packets viii come out on their regular
days. OF the local packets. the Bayne
is harbored at steubenville; Leroy at
Darlington; Ruth, Elolse, Urania, H.
K. Bedford and several others at Mar
ietta, and the Ben Hur at Parkersburg.
All are in good harbors and doubtless
will escape damage in the breakup.

LOST THE TASTE
For Ordinary Coffee.

at Is strange how people will try to
invent some cause for their feeling bad,
rather than 10 charge the trouble to
some habit they may have that they
have good reason to believe Is the real
cause. For instance, all the time that
we were using coGee on our table was
subject TO occasional terrible headaches,
and my husband was half sick with
nervous trouble.
eve felt satisfied that coffee was the
cause but were afraid we wouldn't like
Postum Cereal CofEee, and therefore
.tried in every way to think that some
thing In the food, or some other rea-
son, was the real cause Of our troubles.
After reading several articles In regard
to the evil effects OF coffee drinking, and
the merits Of Postum Food Coffee,
became convinced Of the truth Of the
statements. and called my husbands at
tention to them.
"He was skeptlcal on the subject, but
to please me, said he would give Pos
tum trial. so he procured a package,
and 1 made II, but the milk we were
using was Of the kind that produced
little cream, and that did not give us as
good a beverage as we found after
wards could be secured with cream.
However IN spite OF the urAWDaCks We
grew to like the Postum Food Coffee,
and both OF US found ourselves greatly
benefited by the change. Ny head
ceased to trouble me entirely, and my
husband was practically made over.
1--WE were out Of the Postum for a
time, and having coffee in the house and
feeling so much better, we concluded to
try the coffee again. but in a few days
my headaches came back, so that we
became satisfied where the real trouble
existed. We used Postum for quite a
long time, and still having some coffee
in the house tried coffee again. Imag-
Inc our surprise in discovering that we
no longer cared for the taste of the or
binary coffee. so the next morning we
had rare treat, In cup Of piping hot,
delicious Postum.
Coffee is no longer kept In our house
Our children are very fond OF the new
kind of 'toffee, as they call 1t, and we
give them as much as they want to
drink, without fearing to injure their
health. find that II enables me to fur
nIsh baby with a more abundant supply
Of milk than ] could otherwise do. Pos
tum Cereal Food Coffee has indeed been
great boon to our family" Mrs.
