CHOICE FRUITS.

It is an easy matter to advertise choice fruits, but it is not always an, easy matter to get 1t. Indeed it is at times exceedingly difficult to find just what you are in search of in the line of fruit. There is one store at least where a full variety of the choicest fruit can almost Invariably be obtained. Th&t. place IS J.. B. Judson's at S65 Chapel street If MT Judson can't supply you With what you want there isn't much use in looking further for it. His store IS headquarters for everything in his line of trade and a visit there will at test his abundant success in procuring the most attractive and luscious fruit that is raised in this country. Space forbids enumerating the large variety Kept by him. But 1t is there for your inspection. Most all of the good peo- pie in this town know it, and as a con- sequence Judson's fruit store steadily increases in popularity from year to year and the number of it's patrons cor responding increase.

ATTORNEY MAYER SUES.

Lawyer Edward J. Maher yesterday brought suit for $1 ,0O0 damages against the democratic state central committee for the recovery of an alleged debt af $752 for expenses in connection with the democratic state convention held in this city September 25.
 Attorney George E. Hall is counsel for Mir Maher, and the writ, which is made returnable on the first Tuesday of November next-election day-was served by Constable Henry F. Leonard yesterday.
 It will be remembered that Edward J. Maher, the plaintiff in this suit, was the secretary of the democratic state central committee up to the time of the convention, and in that capacity made all the arrangements for the conven- tion, having had the hiring of halls and other incidentals in connection with the event. He contracted for everything necessary and he says the, whole matter amounted to $752. This remained due after the convention, and MT. Maher says it still remains due so far as his responsibility lies.

One of the most important of the pending damage suits against the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company went on trial yesterday before Judge Thayer in the civil side of the superior court. The action is for $10,00O damages and the plaintiff is Walter E. Davis, sf Fair Haven.
 The plaintiff claims that in stepping from one car lie was struck by another that came upon him without warning or sounding of bell. He was nearly killed in the accident.

 The court reserved it's decision late yesterday afternoon.
