A Reluctant Sport.

A Denver hotel man tells the follow. ing story, and he says it's true: One l day a bride and bridegroom from the country registered at the hotel.
 "What are your rates for room and board for two?' asked the bridegroom.
 "Six dollars" was the reply.
 That was satisfactory, and the two I were given a room. When they de- cided to leave, the bridegroom asked for his bill. It was $24. He was stag | gered.
 "Whaty' he calculated. Twenty four dollars! That's an outrage. You said $6"
 "Six dollars day." came from the clerk-t'six dollars a day"
 "Six dollars dayv' the bridegroom almost shouted. T thought you meant $6 a weeky'
 The clerk simply smiled. Finally the bridegroom paid over the money. "NOw," he said, calming down some what, wait a minute. I want to go upstairs. Keep that money in your hand.'
 The clerk didn't understand, but he decided to humor the man. The latter soon returned with a camera Aiming 1t at the clerk, he took picture.
 'This is the highest priced place I ever stopped at" he explained q just wanted a picture to show my friends that was real sport here in Den ver."
 Then he and his bride gathered up their telescopes and went out.-Denver Post. 94

The Famous Old Mart Where Slaves

The Famous Old Mart Where Slaves Were Bought and Sold.
 Grim, unsightly, paintless, scanned there stands today an old brick build ing on Adams street, midway between Main and Second, about which clusters more of history and of change than can be compressed into song or story 1t is situated just on the east of the alley midway between Main and Sec ond streets and is used as shelter for the city prisoners who are worked on the rock pile.
 If you will take the trouble to step to the westward side of this old build ing, where it faces the alley, and glance up along its second story yeB may still discern the inscription, Ne gro Mart and Livery Stable," or as much of it as time has not penciled out. The last letter of the word mart" and the last letter of the word "sta ble'' are gone. The others are dimmed with age and might pass unnoticed unless you look second time.
 Time was when this was a famous negro market. It was presided over in its time by no less q man than General Forrest himself. Thousands of negroes were bought and sold within it's walls and hundreds of thousands of dollars passed there from buyer to vender.- Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Superior Court.

Judge Silas A. Robinson has given
 decision in the case of Francis M.
 Edwards, receiver for the Suffolk
 Trust company of Boston, vs. Free
 man F. Patten of Stafford Springs in
 favor of the plaintiff. This decision
 is far-reaohing in it's effect, as the
 contest was largely in the nature of a
 test case to see if an outside receiver
 could come into the state of Oonneo-
 ticut and sue individuals for debts of
 the corporation. The Suffolk Trust company was organized in Boston
 May 2, 1887, with a capital stock of $1OO, 900, divided into l, 900 shares. September 3, 1891, 8 receiver was ap- pointed for the concern, and August 25, 1893, he declared a dividend of 3S per cent. of the legal obligations. The concern owes the State Street Exchange of Boston $1O, sos. S3, and to pay this the receiver comes back on the stockholders, of which there are a number in Connecticut. Under Massachusetts law, which the re- ceiver sets forth pretty fully in his complaint, the receiver holds that the stockholders as individuals are re. sponsible for the debts of the concern. The ground taken by the defense was that an outside receiver had no right to come into this state and bring suit. MT. Patten holds five shares of stock, which are assessed $66. 61 8 share, amounting to $333.O5. The de- murrer having been overruled, the defendants will now file an answer, and the case will probably be tried in the fall. The demurrer was argued in December by Stanley W. Edwards of Hartford for the plaintiff, and Charles E. Searls of Putnam and R. H. Fisk of Stafford Springs for the de- fense.
 W. B. Martins appeal from the de- was argued before Judge Shumway in the superior court Thursday. The Stafford Springs Street Railway company in surveying for it's line to 4sOOAF FAAAO OAOSoO0 pAOPO4Vy OWhCO Oy Mir. Martin, who gave them an option on same. The company considered the price exorbitant and took the matter to the railroad commissioners, who ruled in favor of the company, and from this ruling Mir Martin ap- peals. The route cuts through MT. Martins property on Holland road, taking the front, so that the remain der of the lots front on the trolley in stead of on the highway, which MT. Martin feels is great detriment. The question argued before Judge Shum- way was simply on the right of ap- peal, as to whether or not the finding of the commissioners was final. Judge Shumway reserved his decision.
 Judge Shumway has rendered. de- cisions inst cases of Edward M. I Yeomans vs. 2. W. Jenks, ct al. and Mathews vs.- Converse, in which ! arguments were heard earlier in the | present term of court. The decision is in favor of the plaintiff, giving him the right to redeem. In the case of Mathews vs. Converse, a will con- test that has been in the courts for @ | number of years, the defendants motion for more specific answer was denied.
