Damages Heard-Othor Eases.
Judge Prentice in the supreme court
handed down the following decision in
the case Of the Fair Haven G. West
vile Railroad company against the
city Of New Haven:
There is error and the cause is re-
manded to be proceeded with according
to Jaw"
The case was the application for re-
lief from the action of the court of
common council in making an assess
ment against the trolley road for the
cost Of the asphalt pavement between
the tracks and two feet beyond on each
side in West Chapel street The dis
lance IS 4.852,5 feet and extends from
York street to Norton street. The
original asses sment for this was $5,823

men increased this amount to $36,S79.
The road appealed from this increase
and Judge Shumway in the superior
court decided that the original assess
ment of 1888 was sufficient. The su-
preme court now decides there is an err
ror in this decision.

DEATH DUE TO PNEUMONIA.

KIM
Coroner Mix said yesterday after
noon that he had not finished the in
quest as to the cause of the death of
Charles Cole, the brakeman who was
stabbed some time ago. But said he:
II am satisfied that he died from pneu-
monia and that he might have had
the pneuOmnia if he had not been
stabbed The stab wound was sufficient
to have caused death in itself but as
it was properly taken care Of and It
was healing nicely, Cole would have
lived if he had net caught pneu-
monia."
In other words, the examining ply
slcians can trace no direct cause Of
death from the stab wound. A promi-
nent city official stated yesterday that
the most serious charge that can be
lodged against Rome, who is accused
Of doing the stabbing. is assault with
intent to KILL

Calendar for 200 Years.

A useful and unique little book is the
kOdOl Almanac and 200 Year Calendar
a copy of which the GOLD LEAF has re-
ceived from the publishers, E. c. Dewitt
& Co., Chicago, Ill. With copy of this
publication at hand one is in possession
of a calendar which covers the past as
far back as the day of our National In
dependence, meets all the requirements OF
the present, and dates as far into the
future as near the beginning of the next
century.
By reference to this calendar the day
OF the week, of any given date in any
month of the year, from 1776 to 1876,
may be found at glance. This informa-
ton can not be found in any other publ
cation extant. Another feature of re-
interest is it's weather forecasts. These
predictions are not only full and com
plete, and as accurate and reliable as it
is possible to calculate, but they are defn-
lite geographically, thus localizing the
predictions and foretelling the weather
which may be looked for in each section
of the country.
Messrs. E. c. Dewitt & Co., of Chicago
are sole owners and publishers of the
kodol Almanac and 200 Year Calendar
and while several millions of copies are
in circulation, they have yet a few hun
dred copies of the first edition, and viii
send one copy to any person enclosing &

Fulfilled Expectations.

A good sized audience saw What
Happened to Jones" atCooper Opera
House Tuesday evening. Every ex-
pectation was realized, every promise
fulfilled by the company. They
promise to please and satisfy and
they succeed most admirably. 1t
was one continuous roar Of laughter
almost from start to finish. A bet
ter pleased audience was never seen
in the Opera House.
This was return engagement and
those who witnessed the performance
when Clones" was here before laugh
ed just as heartily at what happened
to him Tuesday night as did those
who saw it for the first time. If
there was cause for complaint it was
because ones sides were oversore and
not that the performance was dull.
The play is a good one full of ludi-
crous scenes and amusing situations.
While the company cannot be classed
as a strong one (the nature of the
play does not require heavy acting)
it is composed of very clever people,
we'll balanced and each character is
creditably sustained.
Manager ArOnsOn has the thanks
of his patrons for the engagement OF
such rich treat as "What Hap.
pened to JONES'" and the regret is
that there are not more attractions
like it.

Shooting Affair.

Sunday afternoon near the North
eastern edge of town an alteration
occurred between Charles Lowry, a
young white man, and a negro named
John Burton, which resulted in the
serious and perhaps fatal shooting
of the latter. 1t appears that Lowry
was walking along the street with
two or three companions, when they
met Burton who abruptly walked
against Lowry showing him to one
side. To this Lowry took exceptions
and heated words followed on both
sides. Burton picked up a rock
and struck Lowry severe blow on
the head. AS he turned to pick up
another rock Lowry shot him. The
ball took effect in the ''small of the
back" and passed through one kid
ney. 1t is a serious wound and
while the injured man has been doing
very we'll SO far the chances of recov-
cry are against him.
Lowry disappeared Immediately
after the difficulty and has not yet
been apprehended. 1t is claimed that
he acted in self defense and the state
ment is made that he did not run
away SO much to avoid standing
trial but he was afraid he would
have to go to Jail until court.
