I Court.
 | The suit for $5,000 damages brought against the New Haven Saw Mill conl-
 pany for the death of Walter Geer, killed on the premises of the company,
 on July 14 last, is a very interesting
 one and will open again this morning at l 10 o'clock before Judge Roraback, in I the superior court Witnesses were heard all day yesterday and many in 1 teresting points were brought out in the testimony. Late in the afternoon Weather Observer Tarr was brought to
 the stand and with him were num-
 Der of books in which were kept rec ordS of the velocity of the wind on the day in question, the kind of day July IA last was, the direction of the wind, etc. It was evidently the purpose of the lawyer for the plaintiff in the cross examination to find out whether there was sufficient amount of wind on the day i'll question to cause the lumber to blow over, for the different kinds of winds and their power were under consideration much of the time during the afternoon.
 II Bacon, who was questioned as to whether the death of young Geer was instantaneous or not.
 The question was put to him by Judge tSoddard, of Bristol, Stoddard & Bristol, and was objected to by At torney Futile for the plaintiff. Attor- ney Futile said that it was the inten tion of the lawyers for the defense to show that the death of Geer was in- stantaneous and that if such was the case the claim for damages would only be nominal, as he said was generally the case.
 Several cases were referred to by Mr. Futile where the maximum claim was granted in the case of instantaneous death and he said that 1t was not question of how much tha victim suf- fered before he died, if he suffered at all, but that it was the question of death itself that the laim for damages was made.

Cuban students will be in attendance at the

representative of the Cuban Government that the
Jamaica Normal School should receive one hundred

trained for teaching in the Cuban schools After
careful consideration the authorities of the Normal
Schooi decided not to receive them, because the
attendance OF students already in the school al
