state Asks for amages.

A hearing was held by Attorney Gem
eral Hicks in Madison on the application
for suit to be brought by the State
against the 500 Railroad Company for
damages on account of its failure to fully
build the Superior, Balsam Lake and
Southern road under the contract Of pur-
chase from the orIginators. Suit has
already been tried to compel the 500 to
build the road, but the Supreme Court
decided adversely, because the contract
was not sufficiently definite as to points
to which the road should he built. The
present action asks the payment of $40.

proverbs

: When the butter won't
come put penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. Ii often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scots Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Morris E. Beardsley Selected by Judge
 Gager of New Haven

Judge Gager of the superior court, in New Haven yesterday, appointed Morris F. Beardsley of Bridgeport re- ceiver for the Matthews & Willard Go. The application for the appointment of the receiver was made by Albert Winters of New York, who claimed to own one-tenth of the stock. He al leged that the assets of the company amounted to $411, ,OOO and that the company had practically agreed to sell out to the Scovin Manufacturing Go, the largest creditor, whose claim is said to be about $15O,OO0. The mo- tion for the receiver was opposed by Colonel Burpee, counsel for the Sco- vin Manufacturing Go. This is the climax to a years litigation. Two or three times the minor stockholders were defeated in their attempt to have a receiver appointed. Judge Rora- back who heard these motions, held 1t would be unjust to grant the motions unless an inventory had been taken or the books of the Matthews &5 Willard concern had been looked into. There were rumors of attempted swindle. The minor stockholders held that the major stockholders had conspired to pass the concern over to the Scovill company and thereby pay a debt of $15O,OOO with plant worth at least five times as much. Litigation was suspended for some time and while the action taken yesterday was somewhat of surprise it was not unexpected that something would be done.
 Ambrose H. Buckley photographers of Bank street, was granted a divorce from his wife, Eveline Buckley.
 A motion for judgment by consent was allowed in the case of James Hughes, son of Felix Hughes of Liber- ty street, against the Consolidated Railroad Go. This suit arose out of the collision near Danbury last octo- ber. Judgment for $10O was given, though the original claim was for $1,- 800.

 New York, Feb 14.-Unable to save himself because his foot was caught between the cattle guard and the rail, an unknown man was run down by an express on the Long Island rail road yesterday and instantly killed. A score of workmen who tried to free him were forced to save themselves, to leave him to his fate.
 When all efforts to release him failed, the man became wildly excited and screamed forgetting that he could release his foot by unlacing his shoe
 The laborers were trying to force the rail with crowbars when the whistling of the express was heard It was desperate work, but in vain Even the signals for the train to stop were too late. The train bore down on the man, now paralyzed with fear His body was thrown high in the air and crushed beyond recognition.

RESCUED FROM DROWNING.
Little Girl Gets Into Park River
 Through the Ice.

Through the Ice.
 Hartford, Feb 14.--Walter F. Schults an agent for the International Core spondence schools, was walking east ward along Asylum avenue Thursday afternoon, when two little school girls, each of about 10 years old, asked him if he knew where they could find some pussy willows. There was no school that afternoon and the children, both lovers of nature, had wandered far from home in search of the fluffy bush. MT Schults told the girls that it was early for the pussies and that he did not know where they could find any, and passed along after receiving their thanks for the information. .
 Within two or three minutes from the time he left, the girls he heard screaming and cries for help, and run ming in the direction from which the cries proceeded saw his friends of few moments before in imminent peril. They had attempted to cross Park river, south of the Asylum avenue riv- CT bridge. in the rear of Colonel Skin- ner's lot, and the larger and heavier of the girls had fallen in. She was in the water nearly up to her neck and was prevented from going down only by her heavy cloth coats floating on the water and the vigorous use of her feet and legs. The other child was stand ing on cake of ice. near the edge, and was screaming for help at the top of her voice Had she gone nearer the edge of the ice she would probably have tipped it and have fallen in, and the natural result would have been two children locked in each others arms, swept under the ice.
 MT Schults lost no time in reaching the children and pulling the first one out of the water Taking her in his arms and jumping from cake to cake. for. the ice was breaking up, he reached land and then went for the other girl, whom he soon placed beside her com panion. The submerged girl was soak ed to the shoulders and was taken to the Goodwin greenhouses nearby and warmed up little before being taken to the home of the other one, where she was visiting. MT Schults after wards measured the depth of the water where he rescued the child and found it over ten feet deep. His timely act probably saved two families, one at the south end of the city and the other on the HiIl from mourning the loss of the pets of their respective homes.
