BONES OF GIANT AT CoMpo.
Evidently Indian Who Was Killed, |
 Battle.

Laborers at work on the McCready place at Compo Point, Westport, have unearthed two skeletons which may prove of much historical interst, says the Bridgeport Farmer.
 About a year ago this handsome pro- perty was purchased by Arnold | Schlate, of New York. Recently he contracted with Thomas Glynn of that village, to carry out extensive plans for beautifyng the grounds. Mir Glynn put a large force at work, a part of whom were employed in laying wall along the front of the property A force of Italians were at work dig ging the trench for the wall when one of them brought up a human skull on the point of his pickax. He immedi- ately dropped his pick and left the trench, followed by all the rest of the gang.
 MT Glynn made an examination of the ground and carefully removed the dirt from the vicinity, disclosing the complete skeletons of two men. The bones were carefully taken out and /. preserved for future investigation by some anthopologist They were much larger than the bones of the present generation of men and when stretched out they demonstrated that they once belonged to men much over six feet high Stone heads of arrows were found in the trench close by the bones I and this leads those who have seer them to believe that they are the re. mains of prehistoric inhabitants oi this region and that they were killed | by the arrows. The hands of the skeletons were crossed over the breasi bones and the bodies were placed close
 together, evidently to save digging 2 large hole.
 A short distance from the place where the bones were found, in dig. ging for a waterman, a mound of oys. 1 ter and clam shells was found witt | burnt wood and other traces of fire, in. dicating that there had at one time been a camping place there for the In. dian tribes who used to roam abou
 Cedar Point. There are plenty of le. gehds about the place and some o them tell of fierce battles between thu different tribes for possession of thi, valuable fishing and hunting ground
 Such of the bones as did not fall t
 pieces after being exposed to the ail
 will be preserved. The jaws, which ar,
 in good condition, show fine sets of bil
 strong teeth in perfect order, thougl
 much worn, proving that they had be longed to mature men.
 Several large buildings are in tn plan of MF. Schlate's improvement land in all the digging which will fol low a sharp lookout will be maintain !, ed for Indian relics.

RArcL1FFE HICKS, ESTATE.
Now Being settled--LeRt About seOO,OOO.

The estate of Radcliffe Hicks, who is we'll remembered in New Haven and who maintained residences in the town of Holland and the city of Merideh, is being settled, and some idea is now possible of the amount to be set aside for the agricultural school for the boys of Holland county. At the time of his death the amount was not known, as the trustees were to take a certain proportion of the whole and set it asidelafo this purpose. The amount to be reserved for this object is $120,000, which is to be held in trust for twenty-five years, and if, at the end of that time, the trustees deem it inadvisable to found such an institu- tion, they are permitted to donate the fund to any charitable purpose in the country. It is not thought that the school will ever be founded asNthe Con- necticut Agricultural College at Storrs covers the ground so thoroughly that it would be folly to establish separ- ate institution, both having the same object.
 A few years before his death Mir. Hicks procured q charter from the general assembly for an industrial school to be founded in Holland coun- ty Beyond procuring the charter Mir. Hicks never took any further steps looking toward the school until the provision In his will was made public. Public bequests by MT. Hicks included $5,000 for the Congregational church at Holland, $1o0OO for prize fund for Brown university, $10,O00 to the town of Holland, to establish a public libra ry, to be known as the Hicks Memorial Library. It is directed that the building be also used for pub lie school purposes if necessary. The town has appointed the following committee to confer with the members of the family regarding site, plans, etc.: Mrs. c. L. Whiting, Mrs. E. S. Agard and Mrs. David A, Brown, who are also to act in conjunction with the town officials. MT. Hicks left the bulk of his property 10 members of his family, a brother, Richard Hicks of Toronto, Can, a daughter, Miss Elizabeth Hicks of Springfield and two sisters, Miss Minnie Hicks of New York and Mrs. Hamilton F. Downing of Springfield, The estate inventoried at $6OO,OOO, but it was generally sup posed that MT. Hicks was worth more.

PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary of the De-
 pertinent of the Interior.

Marriage, Rhode Island-The de- ceased sailor, at the date of his all legged marriage to claimants in the stae of Rhode Island, had an un- divorced wife, who survives him. Un- der the laws of said state, his domicle to death, his marriage with claimant was absolutely void"
 Disloyalty-A claimant who in any manner voluntarily engaged in or aid- ed or abetted the late war of the re- bellion, against the authority of the United States is not entitled to pension as dependent father of soldier whose death was due to service in the regu- lar establishment, not during the war with Spain.
 Invalid Declaration-Claimant exc . cuted her declaration for pension on June IS, 1890, filed it on July 10 1890, and endeavored to prosecute said claim under the act of June 27, 1890, Held: A declaration executed prior to the date of the passage of an act un- der which the claimant proposes to prosecute a claim is absolutely void and invalid.
 Marriage, Legitimacy-There being evidence In the case showing that sol dier had Q wife living in Germany, whom he desehted prior to his mar riage to claimant, it is incumbent upon her to show the death of said first wife, or that the parties were divorced, before she can be regarded as the le- gal widow of said soldier; and in the absence of such proof the minor child of soldier by said claimant cannot be regarded as legitimate.
 Dependence, Act June 27, 1S90.-In considering a widows claim under the act of June 27, 1890, it is her condition, dependent or non-dependent, that gov erns, and it matters not whether the property or income that keeps her from dependence Is derived from her husbands estate. It Is the widow $ pecuniary condition, as a fact that is the criterion under said act.
 Line of Duty, Acidental Discharge of Firearms Soldier was wounded by the accidental discharge a gun while hutning for his own pleasure and was not in the line of duty.

HALT IN LITIGATION
Delay Due to Non-Arrival of
Papers to Be Served in
the Suit
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

BOSTON. March 11.-There was a
sudden halt today in the Christian Sci
ence suit, due, 1t is said. to some new
move to be made by Senator Chandler,
senior counsel for Glover. The papers
to be served on the Boston defendants
did not arrive and service was delayed
until tomorrow. Frederick w. Peabody
intimated that he would serve the pa
pers himself.
A rumor was current in Concord that
counsel for the plaintiff would apply to
Judge Peasle of Manchester for an In
junction, but the lawyers are reticent.
Several more Of Mrs. Eddy's letters
to her son were received by Senator
Chandler today. In one OF these Mrs.
and warned him not to enter her home.
She wrote:
Ny home Is simply a house and beautiful
only as I love everybody. have no congeniality
with my help inside my house. They are not
my companions and are scarcely ht to be my
help.

was not only held in the greatest respect
and veneration by her followers, but
was even worshiped by some OF the
more ardent Christian Scientists;
that prayers to her were said by
some of the faithful, and that
other followers had kissed the stone
steps at Pleasant View after Mrs. Eddy
had passed over them, while still others
had left much money and jewelry at
Mrs Eddys home. To present all this
in evidence many church members will
be summoned or their depositions
taken.
The State Board of Registration in
Medicine for Massachusetts has given
up the fight before the Legislature for
the passage of rigorous restrictive leg
islation on the right to practice med
icine in this State. AS a consequence
the Christian Scientists, osteopaths,
Spiritualists and members of other
cults are rejoicing. The question of
what constitutes medical practice will
be left to the courts for a decision
