LAWYERS ARE PLAINTIFFS.
Was Plaintiff and Defendant in the
 Same Suit.


 Mrs Mary E. Wright Smith and her valiant defenders of the cause or wo- men scored point in the civil superior court yesterday morning. 1t is true that there was no opposition, but, ney- ertheless there was satisfaction in get ting a decision from the learned judge who sat on the bench, despite the fact that there were no bold bad men law yers around to talk the motion down.
 After the decision was rendered Mrs Smith and her counsel walked out of the court with apparent pride and sat isfaction in their eyes, and they chat ted over 1t with lively glee.
 There was very peculiar situation in the case which gave them the op- portunity to get into court yesterday. Before the motion was allowed Mrs Smith occupied the unique position of being the plaintiff and defendant at the time in one suit.
 Some years ago the City National bank brought suit against Mrs Smith in foreclosure and obtained Judgment. After the judgment decree was al lowed Mir Smith came along and pur- chased the property. Mrs Smith could never quite forgive this and she brought suit to set it aside.
 In the course of time MT Smith died and Mrs Smith was named as admin istrator of her husbands estate. Thus she became the defendant in the action she was pursuing in her individual ca pacity.
 Of course this sort of thing could not go on, but the women found a way out of it nicely. Mrs Smith assigned her claim to her counsel, Miss Isabella M Pettus of New York and Miss Susan e. O'NeilI of Waterbury.
 Yesterday the lawyers appeared be fore Judge Robinson and asked to be substituted as plaintiffs. There was no one to oppose and the motion was granted. Futtre developments will be awaited with interest.

Another man was on the raft, but was lost despite the efforts to save him.
 The schooner Montmorency, which went aground on the Charity Islands several days ago, has gone to pieces. Her crew left her on Thursday. The Tawas life-saving crew made a trip to her at midnight and rowed eighteen miles in the storm and against the wind, but found no one aboard.

A FATAL MISTAKE.
Patrick Sheridan Took Carbolic Acid and Then Died of Heart Disease.

T
 and Then Died of Heart Disease
 Hartford, May 25.-Patrick Sheridan, who lived with his family at No 36 Sheldon street, died suddenly about 10 o'clock last night, after drinking car-I bolfc acid which he took by mistake. Sheridan had been sick for the last four years with consumption and had been taking medicine regularly His little boy was run over by bicycle Thursday night and as his foot was badly bruised, Mrs Sheridan bought some carbolic acid which she mixed with water and bathed the boys foot
 Shortly before 10 o'clock, Sheridan who was about to retire, went to take his medicine The bottle that con tained the poison looked somewhat like the one containing the medicine He poured out teaspoonful of the poison and then took it with water. He quick ly learned his mistake and spit out most of the acid he had taken. He then called his wife, who became very excited and sent for Dr OsFlaherty. Sheridan said that he hadn't taken much, having discovered his mistake in time, and that he was all right, when suddenly he gasped for breath, held his 1 hhnH Ghdef his heart and gradually l became unconscious. A short time af- 1 ter the doctor arrived, Sheridan expir- ed. Death was due to heart failure brought on by shock, 1t coming on probably when he felt that he had talk en the acid instead of his medicine Medical Examiner Fuller who was no tified, ordered the body, taken to the morgue and he will examine it this morning.
 Sheridan was 43 years old and was a native of Ireland. He came here about ten years ago. During the last foul years, while i'll, he was able to work only at intervals, and Mrs Sheridan by working in laundry, took care o1 the family. For the last week Sheridan seemed to have recuperated and secur ed job on the new Connecticut Mu tual Life insurance building on Peal street. He was in good spirits yester day, and during the day bought him self new clothes. He did not talk, enough earbolic acid to have any effec
 upon him in itself. Besides wife, h, leaves two children.

KING GROWING POPULAR.
Has the Tact to Preserve Relations Between Himself and Subjects.

London, May 25.-King Edwards es- cape at the time of the accident on board the Shamrock II last Wednesday has, If anything, added to his populari- fy. With what tact his majesty pre- serves the happy relation between him. self and his subjects can be judged from an instance that occurred this week. Colonel, the Honorable Charles Eliot, whose friendship with the king dated from the time of the royal visit to America, when Colonel Eliot acted as the mentor of the then Prince of Wales, lay dying at the Sports club. Colonel Eliot had not had any intimate relations with the king for many years, but his majesty, hearing of the old soldiers condition. immediately drove to the club. got out and inquired sympathetically for his former friend; and these visits were continued daily until Colonel Eliot died. Princess Chris tian also called at the club, for Eliot was formerly a member of her house hold She walked straight to his room, said few words and kissed the dying mans hand
