In the court of common pleas on
Wednesday verdict was reached by
the Jury in the case of Milo Burr VS..
Hattie Elizabeth Burr in which the
sum OF $500 was awarded to the plain
tiff. This sum, it is understood, was
the same as the counsel for the de-
PENDANT tried to effect compromise
upon but was unable to.
The case occupied the entire day, a
verdict not being reached until COS
o'clock, after having been in the jury's
hands for an hour and a half.
Mr.. Burr was called in rebut.al on
Wednesday and he testified that he
met his wife In Wallingford in a
boarding house. He said he never
knew her to have any money and testi-
fed that he bought her wedding
clothes for her. He never knew she
had money in a small trunk. He said

all doubt from his mind and gave him
abiding faith.
Mr.. Cooley was a good type Of the
men who were interested in journal
ism in the rather unique days before
the civil war. He could not only write
editorials that were pungent ana
witty and impressed the people, but
he could set them up in type and run
the press. if need be. He was not
afraid of hard work. often while
making up his forms in the office ne
would think of the matter for an edl-
torial and would go to his desk ana
write and hand the copy to the COM
positors to be put into type.
He was absolutely fearless in the
matter of publishing a paper and
nothing could dsmay him when ne
considered he was right. He believed
that public officials were accountable
to the people and IL they transgressed
the civil or moral law they were sub
1ects for reproval by the papers. He
never failed to put this rule in force.
and oftentimes officials tried to dis
suade him, with tears In their eyes,
from his course, but failed to do so.
AS a sensational writer he~had many
exciting experiences and not few
hard knocks. He was an advocate Of
no license. He was positive IN MS
views and an interesting talker.
After he was so enfeebled that he
could not remember names of his per-
sonal friends he would occasionally
recall the names OF some one OF them
and write most remarkable letters.
While an invalid he read the Bible
through eighteen times and the New
| Testament seventy times and was a
| thorough Biblical scholar He wrote
many letters after his illness, he hav-
\ ing been very sick in 1882, and after
4 that time he wrote over 1000 letters

SCHOONER MARGARET
is BEING LOOKED FOR.
Should Arrive at New London Most
Any Day Now.

Norwich and Groton people are
greatly interested in the arrival of the
sealing schooner Margaret, in COM
mand Of Capt. James w. Buddington,
which, according to the reckoning Of
old whalemen, is due to drop anchor in
New London harbor almost any time.
When Captain Buddington was last
heard from he wrote from the Barba-
does, March II. In the letter Captain
Buddington did not specify any par
ticular date for his sailing, but init
mated that he expected to reach New
London early in April.
Capt. Elisha Chapman saws that he
has made the trip from Barbados in
thirteen days in one of the slowest
vessels that ever carried sail and so
he believes the Margaret is somewhere
close to her home port, unless she has
met with bad weather on the way. 1t
is now twenty-on one days since Captain
Jim mailed his letter
Groton whalers think that Captain
Buddington will put into New London,
discharge his cargo and start immedl-
ately for the whaling grounds in Arc
tic regions after storing up.
