AN IMPORTANT CASE

Before the Supreme Court at it's Pres
ent Session.
An important case to come before
the supreme court during it's present
session in Hartford is the suit for dam
England Telephone company on ac-
count of the death of George Davis.
who was killed while in the employ of
the defendant company Suit for $4,000
damages was brought against the COM
pany by Andrew j. Broughel and only
nominal damages of $1O0 were granted
by Judge Wheeler because the death of
Davis was painless" An appeal was
taken to the supreme court and new
hearing in damages ordered.
The following memorandum has been
filed by Hungerford, Hyde, Joslyn &,
Gilman and James II. Moran of this
city, counsel for the defendant.
The single point involved is whether
or not the new trial shall be limited to
ascertaining the quantum of damages
to be awarded to the plaintiff, or
whether it will include also the ques-
ton of the liability of the defendant
for causing the death of Davis, the
plalnIlH lnleStdIe.
The defendant understands from the
opinion handed down that the new trial
is for the purpose Of ascertaining and
assessing the quantum of damages
only, and that upon that trial, no evil
dence would be received to show that
the death of the plaintiff intestate
was not caused by the negligence of the
defendant 1t understands also, that in
case there should be an appear from
the judgment to be rendered upon the
new trial, the question OF the liability
of the defendant would not be reviewed
on such an appeal upon the facts here
tofore found by Judge George Wheeler,
and which We're set forth in detail in
the plaintiffs appeal, which was heard
at the January term of this court and
that those facts would not be rebound
by the tril court, either with or with
out any qualifications, and that there
could be nothing in the record of the
new trial upon which error could be
claimed in establishing the liability of
the defendant.
Upon the trial in this court it was the
claim of the defendant that even if
there was error in the ruling of Judge
Wheeler upon the question of pain
less death, the record showed that there
was no negligence and. consequently,
no liability on the part of the defendant
and, therefore, the error as to the pain
less death was an immaterial error, and
that there was no error in the judgment
itself.
We had supposed that under the old
practice when writs of error were in
use, the great question presented was,
whether upon all the record there was
error in the judgment. If the judgment
was right, there was no error, and it
stood. If it was wrong, there was er-
Ior and it was reversed.
In conclusion the attorney says:
We respectfully submit, under this
ruling the defendant has not had it's
day in this court upon' the main ques-
ton in this case, that this has hap
pened through no fault or want of dill |
igence on the part of the defendant |
and that, therefore, the new trial should |
not be so limited that there will be no
opportunity to present chat question
here again, if the defendant should de- |
sire to do so. |

FIRE ON COFFEE STREET.

Mrs. Albert Angus Of 100 COTE street
had narrow escape from severe in
jury by burning Thursday night. Mrs.
Angus, who has been confined to her
bed by illness for some time, had risen
for while and was sitting near a
banquet lamp. Suddenly becoming
faint she fell against the lamp, over
turning it. She and her young daugh-
ter were alone at the time and their eff
forts to extinguish the flames were in
adequate. The patrolman assigned to
the COTE street beat came to their as
sistance and serious consequences were
averted. Save for shock to Mrs. An
gus nerves, she is none the worse for
her trying experience.

The Last Of Series Of Efforts-Reward
Offered
Stephen Miller Van Wyck. q retired
lawyer residing at Fishkill Landing N.
Y, well known here, appears to be the
victim of some person or persons UNI
known who are seeking the death of
him and his wife by a singularly dar-
ing and determined series of efforts at
poisoning. Mr. Van Wyck has had sus-
picions of this state Of affairs for some
time and its evidences have recently
become so pronounced as to leave no
rom for doubt.
Mr.. Van Wyck and his wife, who are
childless, have resided in their present
home for several years Four months
ago both were taken violently ill., and
investigation showed that a quantity
of mercury had been placed in milk
which was left on their veranda in the
morning. After several days severe ill
ness they recovered, and a short time
afterward traces of the poison were
again found in the milk. They at once
decided to move to Newburg, but were
followed there, and their food and milk
again showed the same indications of
the efforts of a secret enemy. Return
ing to Fishkilf Landing, they took
lodgings in a quiet quarter, and were
unmolested for several weeks. few
days since, however. both again became
i'll from the effects of mercurial poison
ing. Mr.. Van Wyok then offered a re-
word for the discovery of the culprit.
Mrs. Van Wyck owns considerable
properly in New Haven. She is the
daughter of the late John S. Graves, one
of the organizers of the New Haven
Gas Light company. Mr.. Van Wyck is
a cousin of the mayor Of New York.

Dog and Bantam.

New York Evening Subtitle
strange friendships that sometimes ex-
fist between animals that are by nature
enemies have a new variation in the
deep attachment between a dog and a
chicken. The dog had belonged to a
certain family in city days before the
suburbs were in its plan. Afterward
the attempt to raise chickens was idle
because of his serious objections that
were made plain whenever stray
chicken crossed his path, unless that
one happened to be the little bantam
hen. Finally all the others were dis
posed of, and the two odd companions
continued to spend their time together
The little hen sits in perfect quie'
while the dog ticks her feathers, or she
perches on his back while he walks
At night he stays by preference in the
chicken house and the bantam perches
beside him.

So read the invitations sent out by

st. Valentines evening. AT the APP
pointed hour, about forty guests as
sembled and found everything in readi-
ness for their entertainment. On the
south side of the hall, pretty sight
met the gaze of all, in the shape OF
eight dainty tables set with the snow
lest of linen, brightest of silver, rarest
of china; while on the opposite side
were tables supplied with Carroms,
Crokinole, and other popular games.
Soon all were happily seated, and the
fun commenced. At ten-thirty supper
was announced, and each boy took the
bow and arrow, and pierced the heart
of the gentle maiden destined for his
valentine. Justice having been done
to the refreshments served, frolic again

A Baby's CRY.

A moderately intimate acquaintance
with infants enables one to distin-
guish, almost from birth, three cries
the healthy yell, by which the child ex-
ercises his lungs, the fretting of mod
crate discomfort, and the acute cry OF
pain, the latter two including at first
hunger, thirst, and dissatisfaction
BY the end of three months the nurse
or mother should be able to distin-
guish the fretting of actual physical
discomfort from that OF restlessness
and the sharp cry of pain from the
less acute announcement of thirst
hunger, etc., while anger imparts a
characteristic quality to the cry. II

EX-Postmaster- General James A.
Gary in the Youths Companion: She
drops the letter in the postoffice at
Key West, and it starts on it's long
journey to the Klondike. 1t does not,
Of necessity, travel in a straight line
to its destination, but must follow the
twisting and turnings of the rail-
roads, which have complete charge Of
it until the northwest corner of the
state Of Washington is reached. When
it arrives at Seattle it has passed
through fourteen states, and yet, so
far as time is concerned, but one-fourth
OF the journey has been accomplished.
1t now takes sea voyage from Seattle
to Juneau, Alaska, and from the latter
place is carried to Circle City. 1t may
be taken from there by endly hands
further into the Klondike country, and
finally delivered to the anxious broth
er, who has been eagerly awaiting the
arrival OF the next party from the
nearest town in which a postoffice is
conducted in the hope that some one
would bring him a letter. This letter
has now travelled in the neighborhood
of 1000 miles-by railroad, steamboat,
stage, horseback, and, perhaps, dog
sled-and has been on the road for
nearly forty days without a moments
rest! No profit, in money, accrues to
the government for delivering that let
ter; indeed, each letter sent into the
Klondike costs the government for
transportation many times the amount
OF postage charged; but in such cases
should we reckon the profit only in
dollars and cents? Should we not con-
slider also the happiness and satisfac-
ton afforded this brother as he sits
by his fire, perhaps homesick and lone
ly, but now with a loving smile illum-
mating his face, as he reads and reads
again every word his thoughtful sister
has written about home, mother and
father, and perhaps of some one else
whom he holds dear? When, finally,
he places his treasure under his pill
low and seeks rest he is happier than
for many day; and Uncle Sam, who
has contributed so largely to that hap
piness, does not regret the small pc
cuniary loss he has sustained.

Science or Dreams.

From the Youths Companion: Ac-
cording to the recent studies of Signor
de Sanctis of Turin, children begin to
dream before their fourth year, but are
unable to recall dreams before the
age Of or 5. This age, he concludes
is that at which a child first becomes
distinctly conscious of self. Aged peo-
pie dream less frequently and less WV
idly than the young. Women's
dreams are more frequent, more vivid
and better remembered than those OF
men. Criminals and delinquents dream
much less frequently and much less
wildly than other people. Two-thirds
OF the most depraved criminals exam
ined by Signor de Sanctis were never
conscious OF dreaming. This is as
erfbed 10 lask Of mental ACTIVITY.
