In the railroad cases in East Norwalk the appraisers, Samuel Tweedy, David M. Read and Frank H. Hoyt, rendered a decision, this‘morning, giving W. W. Comstock $1,800, for the land taken, and the injury to the rest of the lot, but without taking into the account the damage done to the property by dig- ging down the road in front of it. The appraisers decided that the latter dam- age, having grown out of the distinct matter of the grade crossing, could not be disposed of by them, but must be heard and decided by another board of appraisers, to be appointed for that special purpose. A large number of witnesses put that part of the damage at from $2,000 to $2.500, apart from all that damage that these appraisers as- sessed at $1,800. Mr. Comstock now preposes to have the steps-taken for as- certaining the‘ damage done him by digging down the highway. The Parker damages, for taking about half the lot on the south side of the railroad, running to the channel were decided to be $1,250. ___L_..7 <..p— . . ., WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS ' That the mother’s kitchen is the girl’s best cooking school.

Q Killed on the'Rail. A report was widely circulated about town this morning that a man had been killed at the Catharine street crossing of the Housatouic railroad last night. A DAILY GAZETTE reporter visited the scene of the reported accident, and from the looks of the track at that place, one would have thought that a Whole army of men had been killed there. Theground was covered with blood and pieces of flesh, and on one. side of the track was found a large tuft of hair. On the other side of the track, and toward the Bridge, lay a mangled leg which, upon close inspection, was found to have, at some time or other, been part or parcel of a bovine. Fur- ther investigation by the reporter re- vealed the fact-that a little black bull, belonging to Augustus Whitlock, of Wilton, had wandered away some time during Sunday night and had gotten as far as Cobble Hill, yesterday, where he had frightened a number of women and children, and played havoc with several gardens in that locality. He was no- ticed near the Amphitheatre grounds last evening about 7 o’clock, and as it has not been seen alive since then, it is more than probable that the remains which covered the track this morning are all that are left of one little black bull, late of Wilton, in said distrist de- ceased, who collided with Conductor Betllfi’ mixed train at 7.45 o’clock last mg .

Brennan, the populan and efficient young clerk employed at the House. tonic railroad office, had eloped with Miss Nagle, a pretty young brunette, a resident of Norwalk. ' A Union reporter called at the gen- eral office of the Housatonic railroad to ascertain whether or not Mr. Brennan had returned. Inquiry revealed the fact that he had failed to appear at the office during the day. One of the clerks informed the re- porter that Mr. Brennan had left the office about 3 o’clock Saturday after- noon, and had not returned since. “Did he ask permission to be absent from his duties to-day?” inquired the Union man. “ He did not. When ;he left Satur‘ day evening it was supposed he would be at his desk this morning,” was the reply. The reporter next visited the resi- dence of Mrs. Macken, where the young man lived. When asked whether Mr. Brennan had been present at the house during the day, she replied in the neg- ative. She admitted, however, that Miss, Nagle had been present at her house during Sunday, and had left in company with yfi‘oung Brennan in the evening. ‘ ‘ When theylofteyour house Sunday evening did theyinform you where they Were going?” asked the report- er. Mrs. Macken replied that Edward had told her that he was going as far as the depot to see Miss Nagle safely aboard of the train. Continuing, Mrs. Maekeu said: “ I had occasion to leave the city early Sunday morning. At that time Edward was alone in the house; I do not know what time the young lady arrived after I had left, When I returned in the evening I found her present. I am of the opin- ion that Edward and his young lady have gone to New York to be mar- ried.” ' Mr. Nagle came here yesterday and visited Mrs. Macken and informed her that his daughter had not been seen in Norwalk since Sunday morning. He then secured the services of Detective Cronin, and that functionary is at work on the case. Miss Nagle is the girl who was found here October 14 by .her brother and taken home. — —-—— ~——< .9 >——— -———- Telegraphic Ticks.

Brendle is a union manufacturer who had incurred the ill will of local officials and refused to use their labels. He issuedsimilar labels or trade marks of his own,_and appeal. ed to the Superior Court from the in- junction. ‘ . Judge Williams reverses the lower court's decision on the ground that the Cigarrnakers’ Uni'on, formed for the “mental, moral and physical welfare of its members,” is a personal and social organization, not a commercial one, and under the law of Congress, there- fore, oanuot own a trade mark. Anes- pecially interesting feature'bf the de- cision is its discussion of . the social claim, set ‘forth in terms upon the union cigar label, to the exclusive right not only to the use thereof, but stigmatizing all workmen not permitted. to use the trade mark as inferior men. THE BOYD-'1‘ ls! AYER CASE. it Comes Before the Supreme Court of the United States. Wasuixcrou, Oct. 20.-—Ex-Attorney Eeneral Garland, acting as counsel for iames E. Boyd, plaintifl? in error, made a notion in the supreme court of the United States to advance for argument the case if Boyd versus John M. Thayer, known as ihe Nebraska gubernatorial case. J. L. Webster, acting for Governor fhayer, opposed the motion, stating that the attorneys for his client would not be ready to appear and argue the case until ifter the Christmas holidays. The court took the' matter under advisement. The Boyd-Thnyer case has attracted con- rider-able attention throughout, the coun- iry. Boyd was elected governor of Ne- )rask'a ~ on the Democratic ticket, to suc- 3eed Thayer, Republican, who did not run for a second term. Before Mr. Boyd could be inaugurated ihe case was brought into court on the iontention that he was not a. citizen of ihe United States, being of foreign birth, Ind never having been naturalized. The supreme court of the state of Nebraska ifiirmed this contention, and Thayer con- nnued to act as governor. Boyd appealed zo the federal supreme court. Mr. Garland contends that nearly one- ialf of Mr. Boyd’s term of office as gov- ;rnor must expire before the case can be letermiued, no matter how early 8. deci- 1101] may be given, and that if the case is permitted to remain on the docket the whole term will expire and another gubero iatorial election will be held in Nebraska. It will be remembered that there was iome interest manifested as to Whom President Harrison would recognize as governor of Nebraska while he was in ' Dmaha last May, returning from his grand :ircuit of the country. . Just before he reached Omaha the Ne— )raska supreme court decided that Boyd was not a citizen and the president conse- [uently recognized Thayer. The Chicago Anarchists.
