Falrfleldsre Involved ‘in an Unusual Legal Controversy. , Whatever friendship may have ex- isted between the family of Hugh T. Quinn and Frank Girudd, of Falriieid. has been shattered by 11 suit brought by Mr. Quinnagainst'Mr. Girsrd ap- parently because Mr. Girard did not heed the wise injunction of Solomon: “Whosoever kecpeth his mouth and tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.’ for Mr. Quinn alleges that Mr. Girard failed to keep his tongue. For the alleged slip of the tongue on the part of Mr Girard Mr Quinn wants $1,500 worth of satisfaction, and he has brought suit in the civil court of common pleas to get it. Mr. Quinn alleges that on that late- ful day, May 24,1his year. while Con stable and Mrs. Frederick 11‘. Pratt were within oarshop, Mr. Glrard un- loosed his tongue and opened his mouth and poured false and untrue words upon the balmy air of spring. Mr. Quinn says that these words were meant for himself and his wife. He further asserts that more than being false and untrue, these wofds were malicious as well, A week later he had a consultation with n lawyer. ,a body writ was drawn 11p, and Con stable Pratt hnd business to attend to. The defendant was taken in charge in lieu of property on which to place an attachment. and was lodged in the county jail, there to remain until sat isfactory security was given for any judgement which might be entered by the court. rseuiorls mo CULINARY. wanLss.

Which Trolley Company Should Be Made Defendant In Suite for 1 Allcgod Dom-goo? (Whterbury Republican) Attorneys wishing to sue the par- ties liable for accidents occurring on the trolley lines of this city and state are speculating as to whether the re- sponsible party is the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com- pany, or the Connecticut Company, and of the many suits Just brought, some are made out against each c01- poratlon,’ and some against both. The question is causing much discussion and‘ls an interesting one. 011 May 31, the New Haven road merged Into the Consolidated Railway Company which then owned the trol- ley lines, the former owning the steam roads in the state The name New York. New Haven and Hartford Railwaty Company was retained. The next day. June 1,1907. the Connecticut Company, organized in Thomaaton, took charge of the op erations of the street railways. The question is, should the suits be brought against the New Haven road or the Connecticut Company? Should they be against the owner. the New Haven road, or against the Connecticut Company? One lawyer is said to have eighteen suits which he is going to bring against both these corporations. The entire question hinges on what relation the Connecticut Company bears to the New Haven road. Is it «the servant of the lessee? If the former, then the New Haven Is liable, if the lessee, it is itself liable. Some lawyers believe that the name Connecticut Company Is merely the title of a department of the New Haven road used to facilitate finan- cial operations and therefore that it Is liable. while others differ. The New Haven road Is understood to own practically all the stock of the Connecticut Company. SAVED BY DRINKING WATER. Aunt's Prescription of Four Quarts Dally Cured Fatal Maiady. (New York Sun.) Two years ago a wise stomach specialist in lloston told William Good- man. of Jackson. N. H.. that he had a malady that could not be cured. ' The malady had a long Latin name Goodman failed to rememhcr more than five minutes. but It had such an awful sound that he believed the doc- tor was right. "You can't live more that a couple of months." the physician said. “so you had better go home and take things easy." Goodman went home, made his will and wriitod for death. While he was waiting an aunt from Concord, N. H visited him and hea‘rd all about the terrible stomach disease She wasn't convinced that her nephew had to die. "I know a man in Concord who was a lot worse off than you are and be cured himself by drinking water." she said "lie Just clushcd It down by the gallon. ” Goodman had always fought shy of water, believing that it wasn't good for the system. but he now began to take large Quantities of the fluid. In a few days he was surprised to find that he felt better. At the end of a month the improve- ment was marked and at the expira- tion of six weeks he was considerably stronger and had gained two pounds. From this time on the gain was steady until today. the man In in perfect health and can eat a Welsh rabbit at midnight without feeling Ill effects. in the two years Goodman drunk four quarts of water a day. being before eating or within an hour there- after.

The first conference of peace at The Hague had just closed its ses- sion, and we were looking with hope, but hardly with confidence. for a fa- vorable outcome of its project for on tnblishlng a court of nations. Again we meet at a time when a similar con- fercnce of peace is sitting at The Ha- gue but with what different sentiments and niiticipntions in regard to its po- wor for good. Tile court which the first conference proposed has proved Itself an effective instrument for the set- tlement of international disputes. It has vindicated the title of International law to a position among the sciences. It has shown that it is a law. and has a sa11ction-—tho nil-compelling sanction of the public opinion of the world. ‘ The progress of international law in modern times has been largely I11 the direction of preventing war. It has also been largely in the direction of ameliorating the conditions which war brings. One is an important as the other, for the absolute prevention «of war, in however a remote future, is to the scientific student of history and psychology impossible unless all not lions cliiub to an equal place of civill. action and morals, and that is a far higher plane than any nation has yet attained. It must be frankly acknowledged to me precise here that we find the most serious obstacles to the reform and co- dification of international law. The dif‘ fercni states of social advancement. Nevertheless the theory of equality be- ichll nations is the very soul of the science which we meet to cultivate. It Is by universal insistence on this rule of equality that those who Would advance the place of International law as a social force on best secure their and.

He said tlutt steam roads have about reached ‘ their limit at usefulness That in order to comply with the growth!!! demands made upon them the railroad men have Increased the weight of their on- gines and cars until the roadbeds will' not stand up under the weight and' strain He said the whole problem lay in this proposition, that heretofore the railroad men have relied upon the adhesion of the wheels to the rails to perform the work. That this needs Weight. increased in proportion to the' loads hauled or the shpeed attained, and now this has reached the limits of practicability. Turning to electric roads he said the same trouble obtained the only difference being in the power used, but under his system the opposite re- sults were reached, that is that the faster the speed/the tighter the wheels hug the track. and the deralling of one of his motor cars is a practical impossibility. He then had pictures shown that illustrated his system to the smallest detail. To avoid technicalities it may be briefly said that this system Is a third rail system with all the dangers and objection to the third rail eliminated. Mr. Leiilor propels his cars by the means of a series of stationary mag- nest connected with and charged from some central power house, those needing not to be nearer than 200 miles of each other. In order to avoid any possible dan- ger this power is carried in an under. ground conduit, and the return wire is on the opposite side making It 11b terly impossible for anyone to make a circuit between the currents and thus absolutely removing all danger or shock. In the case of roads operated as the present steam roads are, a sort of third roll is used, but this being so Elected that a closed circuit is impossio e. ' Street railroads are operated by an- oiher device, which consists of it in~ oted lever. sunken for below the street level, which is worked by the electro- magnets as the $an puss over them. and is virtually an underground third rail. At the surface only the ordinary rails, which need not be of the pres- ent rail type, and between these are the rows of magnets, level with the surface of the street, and as harmless to touch as so many pieces of 1111- charged stcc1.'l‘be curs need not be heavy, and the little machinery car- ried by each thy yerv light and simple in cofistructlon. The impossibility of dcrnlllng these cars Is one to the fact that the attraction of the elastic mag nets draw the wheels tightly to the rails. and the faster the speed the greater the downward drug. The mag- nets are alternately north and south poles and thus there is always a con- stunt nitrnctit'm and iepulslon that moves the 111ncl1incry of the cars and admits of high rates of speed with [101er 111110.11, Previous to ihe lecture there was it stervopticon and moving picture ex. lilbltiou which proved very iutcrcst— lug.
