Before the supreme court or errors in Bridgeport, yesterday afternoon, the plaintiff's appeal Ip the suits of Step on Cornstock, and Stephen Comstock and Wife, against the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting Company were at- gued. These were suits for injuries to Mrs. Comatook. who was hurt while on one of the defendant, company’s cars She kept a boarding house and supported her husband, who was In poor health and was only able to help about the house. $10,000 damages and Judge Thayer gave trim 8500. , Mrs. Comatock sued for $5,000 and was awarded $800 damv ages. They appealed because they thought the probable amount of busi- ness Mrs. Comatock, was forced to turn away on accountof her injuries should have been taken into consideration In calculating the loss. Her heaviest income was In the sum- mer when she had several boarders and It was during this season of the year that she was laid up as the result of her Injuries. The main question which is being argued before the court Is whether or not the plaintiffs have the right to recover for the loss of profits. They claim- that they have surh a right” Judge John H.

It has been learned that the boy was at pork in the handling room of the ves- sel, when a ton of gunpowder explod- on In the turret above and in this“ room yhere he was at work. He escaped,c however, with severe burns about the face and hands. but these injuries are by no means serious and he will soon be In as good health as ever. He is unable to write to his par- ents, but friends In the hospital at Warrington, Fla., have written for tub by Mr. Schaub, which states that his condition Is not grave at all, and that he would be up were it not to; ing by Mr Schaub. which states the he might injure th burns by moving about. He is havin the best of treat- ment, and will have a furlough as sobn as he gets better. It Is believed the Missouri will come north to Br k- Iyn. and he will be brought slang on board. . Up to today there has been doubt as to where the boy was when the explo- sion occurred. The letter received shows that he was In the handling room, which is situated under ath the turret. Upon the first cxplosi n which took place In the turrent. killing the entire turret crew, he ran up the lad- der accompanied by a shipmate named Starr. As nearly as can be learned they were the only two to escape from the handling room before the expio‘ sion took place there. it will be seen, therefore, that the boy practically dodge-d the second explosion by run- ning up the ladder. or the 2.000 pounds of powder which exploded, 1.600 of It was in the hand- ling room, and after the explosion there lt-wastfonnd‘to‘have‘been so hot that considerable of the brass work was melted. The smoke and lumen of the burned powder made If impossible for the sailors to enter» the room for some minutes to rescue their ship- mates, and there is,.llttle doubt that had' not the boy rctined his presence of mind. and acted quickly. that he would have been numbered among the dead. . —GOOD HORSE FOR SALE.

An investigation of the seat of the biase revealed plainly a number of matches and what was apparently the nest of several mice. Someone ad- vanced the theory that possibly the'hot sun pouring into the attic caused the matches to ignite. but It Is thought more probable that. the mice theory is correct.

Weak and pale, but with a slight expression of a smile. the bandit failed to carry out his oft re- peated boast that he would die before reaching the gallows. Hanging of his associates, Gustave Marx and Harvey Vandine. quickly followed. Although It was expected at first that Neidermeier would be able to walk to the gallows with but little or no as- sistance, It was found at the last mom- ent that he was too weak. Straps were placed over his ankles, and just above his knees. He was then placed on a truck and wheeled to one of the lower floors of the jail. after which he was carried to the scaifold, and placed in a chair on the trap. He was not asked the customary question If he had any- thing to say. and the rope was quickly placed about his neck. He Instinctive. ly settled his neck into the noose and the trap was sprung. The body shot through the trap, and for .twentymln- utes after it moved convulsively, the physicians at first being of the opin- lon that he was strangling to death. that the rope had been placed too low. After examination. however, the phy- sicians announced that his neck had been broken. Neidermeier appeared on the scat- fold wearing a red rose. brrt without a coat. Marx, accompanied by two priests. was led to the scaffold repeating a lit~ any after the clergymen. He made no statement. He appeared weak but met death bravely. Previous to the execution Neidcr- meier maintained the same sullen de- meanor that has characterized him since he became a prisoner. ,Wbile the death warrant was being read he snatched the document from the sher- iff and stuck It in his pocket, making a sarcastic reference to hisissecuticn.

He dealt particular ly with the attitude which people of the western hemisphere should use In dealing with the Indians. He has been for a number of years engaged In the work of propogating Christianity among the people of that country and has delivered addresses to some of the deepest thinkers among the natives. He dwelt particularly upon the super- iority which Is effected by the Bra- mans over the Englishmen and their fondness for things which are consid~ cred as immaterial by the Brsmans.

An unknown woman, about forty years of age. arrived In South Norwsik, yesterday afternoon from Stamford. and asked to be sent to the Norwalk Hospital. Strange to say, however, there appeared to be nothing the mat- ter with her, though she threw a “fake fit" to make people believe that there was. She went to the office of Dr. L. M. Allen, in Washington street, shortly after 6 o ',clock and asked to be sent to the hospital. She said that she had been In Stamford, and that the oili- cisls there had sent her to South Nor- walk, telling her that she would be able to get in the hospital here. Dr. Allen asked her where she came from. and she said that her home was Al- bany. Later she denied this, when told that the town would send the bill for her hospital attendance to her native town. She evidently did not want any- one there to learn who she was. She was fairly well dressed, and had all the appearance of a woman of refine- meat. Dr. Allen made an examination of her and could find nothing the mat- ter which would render it necessary for her to be taken to the hospital, and told her so. She Immediately dropped on the floor in a stage fit, and would not leave, Captain William R. Pennington was called to investigate her case, but he could find nothiu. about here. She was finally sent to Dr. J G. Gregory, in Norwalk, who has charge of the medical staff. at the hos- pital this month ‘ Captain Pennington was at a loss to find a motive for the queer actions of this woman, and regards it as a suspt. clous circumstance that she should withhold her place of residence. The only plausible story is that she ls slightly demented. and has wandered away from home, The woman arrived at Dr. Gregory's oilice about 8 o’clock, last night, In a rather dilapidated condition. She sai that she had been to Dr. Royal L. Hig- gins’ ofilce, and he had‘sent her to Dr. Gregory. Dr, Gregory “was unable to find that there was anything the mat- ter with her, and rather inclined to the belief that she is a “malinger,” or one who really believes she is sick.'but is not. She was sent to the hospital'with instructions to observe her carefully. She stated to Dr. Gregory that she was formerly a nurse and that her name was Mrs. Louisa Arnold. She claimed Stamford as her place of reel- dence. This differs materially With the story told to Dr. Allen and Captain Pennington. "we NEEDLE. THROUGH HER FINGER.

Wilson' & Bur- rougbs, of New York. who are experts In the matter of mechanical filters. which differ somewhat from the screti- . age filter explained to the commisclo'b ’ at its last meeting. ‘ , The mechanical filter stirs up “if sand and the water In treated wit chemicals to settle It. It Is claimed for the mechanical filters that they are more economical, and that the 00st. of operation is about the same as that: of the acreage filter. It Is believed that an acreage filter would cost $60,000. while it is estimated that the mechhn- ieal filter such as was explained last evening. could be installed for about $40, 000. A- filter coating ’that amount -~ would give South Norwslk a daily sup ply of soon. 000 gallons. which would be more than sufficient. A filter similar to the one room» mended last evening, Is now in use at Providence. R. l.‘, a similar one in Brooklyn. N. Y., and one In Chester. Pa The committee will go next week to Chester to inspect the filter there. and see what It accomplishes In the way 0! practical work It is claimed that It has many points of superiority over the acreage filter. Both mm are sand filters, but they work on dif- ferent principles. None of the members, either of the water commission or the speclal coin- mittee, have reached any decision as to the style of filter which they boo Ileve should be adopted here. but it' is safe to state that they will be prac- tically unanimous in advising the city to build a filter of some I rt.
