JUDGE GORDON TALKS.
Points Out an Inconsistency in Mr.
Rainey's Injunction Bill.

Judge w. o. Gordon Thursday morn
ing, in speaking to Herald reporter
regarding the bill of injunction fled
by Mr.. Horace Rainey, manager of the
Maury Central Turnpike Co., against
the Turnpike. Commissioners of the
county, to prevent the opening of the
gates on that pike said:
II think the injunction filed by Mr..
Rainey is unjust. He seeks to prevent
the opening of the first gate on the
Maury Central turnpike to. parties
travelling the Bear Creek Pike, saying
it Is not part Of the pike when he
desires to collect toll, vet claiming it,
as a part of the pike in order to es-
taDlish three gates on tho road. Mr..
Rainey is thus not consistent in his
position. He knows that the Bear
creek pike is in deplorable condi-
ton, as everybody knows it to be who
have lately had occasion to travel 1t. :"

OPERA HOUSE.
"The Man Asleep"

Hart, the laugh king, put his man
tn sleep Monday afternoon at 4
O'Clock by means of hypnotic power,
as was advertised. The exhibition
took place in one of the Racket store
display windows. and was witnessed
by crowd of possibly three hundred
people.
The method was very simple. The
hypnotist entered the window promptly
at 4 O. clock with his subject and after
a few passes OF the hypnotists hands
before the subjects eyes and some
few words spoken by the performer
while putting his subject to sleep. the
later tun. bled over on bed which
had been improvised for the occasion,
and the spell was on.
All through Monday evening
crowds stood in front OF the window
gazing curiously at the mysterious
sleeper. Some said he was ''rossum-
ing others were doubtful, but
many believed it was the real thing.
Hart, the Hypnotist
One of the largest crowds of the
season attended the hypnotic exhibition
at the Grand Opera House Tuesday
night. To say that it was extremely
entertaining is but to tell the truth.
The program began with the waking
up of 1.-THE man asleep" who was put
to sleep by the hynoptist Monaay
afternoon in the Racket store window.
Following this the hypnotist called for
volunteer subjects from the audience
on whom to demonstrate his power,
and alter some persuasion about two
dozen young men responded. They
were seated on the stage and the hyp-
notist then announced that he could
not hypnotise subjects unless he had
their permission and If any on the
stage were there to resist him, he
asked them to return to their seats.
On preliminary trial, several OF
the young men were returned to their
seats, but the others were put into a
hypnotic state and for the remainder
of the evening they were made to do
all kinds of tricks, extremely ludic-
rous, which kept the large audience
amused. One of the tricks was to
make the subjects imagine that they
had "heas, and have them trying to
scratch them; another was to make
them imagine it raining coin money,
and have them crawling around over
the stage floor. trying to pick up the
old anu silver dollars; another was
to stand the subjects on their feet ana
tell them they were falling and have
them actually doing so, when the
hypnotist would catch them; another
was to have each subject to imagine
he was the "cock of the walk in the
barn yard at daybreak and have them
Growing and parading around the
stage. Other amusing tricks were
performed.
OF course. there are some that still

the vast majority at the Opera House

MANSON MURDER TRIAL.
Coroner Btil and Dr. Robinson Testify.

Putnam, Conn.,. March 12. -- Many curious women crowded the superior court room to-day when the trial of Mrs. Mary Lillian Manson, charged with the murder Of Mrs. Julia A. Will son by poisoning, was resumed: Court was opened promptly at 10 o'clock and Coroner Arthur G. Bill of Danielson was immediately called to the witness stand to resume his testimony
 Coroner Bill read the statement which was made to him by Mrs. Manson at the Brooklyn jail, on December 27. The most important part of the statement was the following: Mrs. Manson said T have never given Mrs. Wilson arsenic but Mrs. Wilson wanted me to get some arsenic solution. I remember asking for some arsenic solution in drug store, the kind my mother used. It was to be taken by the drop, but I was un- able to get it. 1 also spoke to Mrs. Wilson about this solution"
 . Coroner Bill was then taken in hand by Attorney Hunter, who cross-eXamin- ed him for the defence. Answering questions Mir. Bill described the autopsy and told how he afterwards took the
 
 dead woman's body which had been re- moved by Dr. Robinson to Dr: Wolff of Hartford and Dr. Smith of Yale univer- sity for examination.
 Dr. Rienzi Robinson followed Coroner Bill and described in detail the autopsy.
 Attorney Torrey then cross ss-examined Dr. Robinson and secured the admis- sion that the doctor had not ascertained whether Mrs. Wilson purged and vom- tied before death. These are signs of arsenical poisoning. He also brought out the fact that the doctors present at the autopsy had dined together before going to the Wilson house and knew that the case was one of suspected poisoning.
 Dr, Neff called witness attention to mucuous membrane of mouth which was very much infamed. He did not discover any brown spots on the body or a scaly condition of the skin which are signs of arsenic poisoning.
 After a redirect examination by MT. Hunter for the state pr. Harvey H. Converse of Eastford, Mrs. Wilson physician, was called. He stated that on the 18th of November he called at the Wilson house and prescribed for Mrs. Wilson, who in the absence of Mrs. Manson said that gruel prepared for her by Mrs. Manson had caused her to yomit and experience a numb feeling in the legs and right hand. Mir. Wilson said to the doctor that she wanted to

get rid of Mrs. Manson, but George, her son, said that if Mrs Manson left the
 house he would go too. When the doc
 tor was leaving the house Mrs. Manson asked him if Mrs. Wilson was telling
 him of the tantrums she had been hav-
 ing with her stomach and asked if he
 did not think that Mrs. Wilson was suf-
 fering with cancer of the stomach. Several times later Dr. Converse sent medicine to Mrs. Wilson through her son, Ora. but there was no arsenic in it. Later when Ora Wilson came to him for a, death certificate Dr. Converse re- fused it.
 Dr. Converse was then cross -examin-
 ed by Attorney Harvey for the defence.
 He told of testifying at the inquest held at the Eastford hotel. Court at this point took recess until o'clock when the cross-examination of Dr.
 Converse by the defense was resumed.

ITCHING ECZEMA And Other Itching, Burning and
 Scaly Eraptiols. Instant Relief and Speedy
 Cure Afforded by
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills
 When All Else Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, $I.OO.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disagreement, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suf- fcring of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet- ter and salt rheum, all demand rem- edy of almost supcrhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.
 Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint- ment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, in the severer forms, take Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. A single set is often sufficient to cure the most torturing, disfguring and humiliating skin, scalp and blood humours, with loss of hair, when all else fails.

A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin of curious Custom Observed by
 Bulgarian Masons.

Origin of curious Custom Observed by Bulgarian Masons.
 | Mine master masons who were en- gagged in building citadel in the time of the Voivoid Neagoe found on re- turning to their work each morning that the portion of the wall which they had completed the day before had fallen to pieces during the night and was lying | in heap of ruins in the ditch Manol of Curtea, the head mason, informed 1 his comrades one morning that voice | from heaven had warned him in his sleep the night before that their labors would continue to come to naught un- less they all swore on that very morn ing to immure in the structure the first woman be it wife, mother, daughter or sister, who should arrive with the morning meal of one or either of them
 They all took the oath, and the last man had hardly been sworn when Ma nol's own wife appeared, carrying her husbands breakfast. The oath was kept, and the woman, known in the le- gend as Flora of the Fields" was murdered and her blood and flesh in- corporated with the wall of masonry.
 A curious practice of the Bulgarian masons (the above scene is laid in Bull garia) which survives to this day, tes- tifies to the vitality of the legend. To insure the soldity of the houses they build they measure with reed the shadow of the first person who passes after the digging of the foundation has been completed. When the foundation is commenced, this reed is buried under | the first rock, usually the corner stone.
