 With CarboIic Acid.

The woman was arrested on drunkenness charge, but it seemed probable that she was in earnest about her intention to kill herself She had a quarrel with her husband early in the evening, who afterwards in- formed the police of her being in a Respondent mood and might commit some rash act.
 Mrs. Tardieu obtained the acid at A. W. Hymns drug store where she said she wanted it for wound in her boys foot. Mrs. Tardieu was arrested once ] before on the charge of drunkenness. It Is thought that she is slightly de- mented and she may be examined as I to her sanity to-day.
 The police took the acid away from the woman.

THE FREED MAN CASE Suit Lost-Jury Out All Day Before Decision Was
 Reached.
NEWS OF PROBATE COURT
Pastor Newton Pleads for Fireman
 Who Stole for His Sick Wife.

After listening to testimony and ar guments one day last week and three days this week in the case of Freed man, administratrix, vs. the New Ha- ven road, the jury in the case retired at 11:45 yesterday morning, remained behind closed doors until 1:40, when they were allowed forty-five minutes by the judge to go out and get lunch con, went into retirement again at 2:30 and came into court at 5:30 with yer dict for the road. It was the longest time that a jury has been out in the courthouse in some years and the great delay was alike wearing and exasper- ating to those concerned on both sides. The judges charge was one that lasted nearly an hour. It was delivered just after the closing argument for the plaintiff. which came in the morning, and was delivered by Attorney Fitz- patrick.
 A peculiar incident of the trial was the fact that some time before the ac- cident occurred petition was present. ed to the board of railroad commission CTS, asking that the whistles on the en- zines be not sounded between Shell ton avenue and the Hamden town line This petition was favored and the or der was passed by the commissioners It is a debatable question whether the accident to MT Freedman would have happened if the whistles had been GUS tomarily blown at the time of the ae- cident
 The case was that of Mrs. Ida Freedman, widow of Louis Freedman, of Ivy street and Dixwell avenue, against the New Haven road. Mrs, Freedman had sued for s5,0O0 through her attorneys, Fitzgerald X Walsh, Watrous & Day appearing for the road. While Attorney Fitzgerald was ad- dressing the jury yesterday morning, Mrs. Freedman wept copiously.
 Louis Freedman, the husband of Mrs. Freedman, conducted grocery store at Ivy street and Dxwell avenue. On the morning of December II, 1906, he delivered an order in shelton ave- nue and was returning to his store, driving a horse, drawing an ordinary delivery wagon.
 He did not see an engine attached to caboose and operated by Engineer Samuel Johnson, who died recently and Fireman Louis Taylor He heard no bell There are no gates at the Brewster street crossing. Unconscious of danger. he started ro drive right across the track when the engine struck him and his horse and wagon killing him and the horse. and smash ing the wagon to smithereens.
 The unfortunate man was dragged nearly 1000 feet, his body being picked up in Bassett street, near Drummer
 The widows counsel, David F. Fitz- gerald, contended that the engine was proceeding at the time of the accident at the rate of between 45 and 50 miles an hour.
 The fireman admitted that it was go- ing at over 30 miles an hour.
 Mrs Freedman alleged that the crew of the engine and the caboose were green men. Conductor Hart on the witness stand said that it was his fifth trip.

SUNDAY SELLING
OF GROCERIES, is
MOOlED QUESTION

Since the crusade was begun by
the Retail Grocers' association TO
force the closing of all retail grocery
stores on Sunday has been on an in
teresting question of law has been
raised by Judge James Campbell, who
has represented a number of grocery
men arrested on evidence of a man
employed by the association to secure
evidence.
According to the court and attor-
neys, who have investigated, the court
of appeals has never passed on tbs
question whether OF not the selling
of groceries on Sunday where the
buyer was in absolute need of them
is unlawful. but It develops that the
courts of Covington and Judge Bar
ker, a learned jurist of Louisville
have held that If the running OF a
railroad train on sunday. is a neces-
sity the selling of groceries is equally
necessary, and have dismissed prose
cutions, where the evidence was that
the customer needed the goods.
In the cases before the Paducah
courts the question has been raised
and a test case may be carried to the
court of appeals. The Retail Mer-
chants who comply with the law, as
they construe II, believe that all mer-
chants alike should be made to OBJ
serve the statute and took steps to en-
force the law by hiring man to buy
groceries wherever possible and swear
out warrants. With one exception,
the grocerymen that have been caught
in the net are "neighborhood" gro
GERS in the residence sections of the
city, which have made a practice of
accommodating customers on Sunday
morning.

MORE RAIN IL NEEDED To
FILL CREEKS AND SPRINGS.

Despite the rainfall since Monday
night has been heavy the creeks and
small streams have not been running.
The earth was so dry that the water
was soaked up. and II would take an
other days hard rain before the
streams would derive any benefit. The
coal mine operators have not ceased
10 haul water for boiler purposes.
All OF the farmers are thankful for
the rain, as work will begin now in
preparation for the fall sowing, which
was delayed weeks owing to drouth.
The river had begun to rise before the
back bone OF the drouth was broken.
as heavy rains near the source OF the
Ohio and Tennessee -ivers had a good
effect. Residents OF the Pity are
profuse in their thanks to J. Pluvius
for settling the dust alone.

Alleged Night Riders Agree to
Pay Sum, Not Made Public to
Plaintiffs to Dismiss Suit
Against Them.

Three suits filed In federal court
for damages against the alleged
night riders for the raid on Birmdng-
ham were compromised today, and
the cases will be dismissed in the
federal court. The terms of the
compromise could not be asoertained
as the money will not be paid until
Saturday, but ii is understood that
the damages will be many times less
than the 100000 sued for. On the
evidence, the attorneys felt little un-
easiness about securing a verdict for
big damages. but the defendants had
but little property that could be
seized. The suits were filed by At
torneys Browning & Hazelip for l..
A. Baker, and Maggie Scruggs, and
Attorney j. c. Flournoy, for Nat
F'rizzell.
Soon after the three damage suits
were filed defendants made offers OF
compromise. and a settlement was
nearly reached, but II is understood
that some OF the alleged night riders
objected to a compromise ami want
ed a trial. As a result Marshal Neel
started out serving subpoenas and
offers OF compromise were brought
forth again. A representative OF
the defendants has been in Paduoah
for two days, and this morning the
terms were made over the long dis
tant telephone.
In the raid on Birmingham there
were $50 in the mob, but only al
alleged night riders were made de
PENDANTS However, 1t is stated that
all of the members of the band in
the raid were forced to contribute
to the pot" for the compromise.
The settlement of the suit will
clear the federal court docket OF
might rider suits at this term of court
as the Henry Bennett suit will not
be tried because the defendants can
not be located.
