The Right'Action.
The adjourning of the city meeting
last night was the correct thing to do,
as it. would have been ridiculous to
have voted an apprOpriation of a large
sum of money with a vacancy existing
in the board of Water Commissioners.

Hiccoughs.
There is a man in Plainfield, New
Jersey, who has had the hiccoughs for
over a week, and his diaphragm goes
off eight times a minute. Naturally it
makes him tired, for if you will only
reflect what a nuisance this little spas.
modic row produces if you have it two
or three minutes at a time, it is easy to
see what a calamity it may become
when it keepsup day and night for a
continued period. The small boy with
the hiccoughs is generally frightened
out of it by some domestic ruse, for a
mental impression is said to be a sover-
eign remedy; but that small phase of
the healing art is of no use in such a
case. Hiccoughs is always a very pretty
diagnostic puzzle, the truth lying any-
where between a cerebral and an ab-
dominal cause.
[Life insurance Desecration.
It. is a good sign to find the courts
disposed to put a limit to the practices
of insurance companies in dealing with
dead bodies as they sometimes :do,
upon the chance of' finding something
shut may relieve them from paying the
policy. Upon certain occasions. this.
insurance manoeuvre has gone ' 'to
shameless extremes, and it has some-
times seemed that the companies en-
deavored by working upon the sensi-
bilities of familieéfto force an abandon-
ment of claims.. Henry Wehle of New
York had his life insured for $10,000,
and was drowned in 1893. His body
was found on September 4, and was
buried September 9.
'lhe Coroner’s jury found that he had
died from drowning, and there was no
doubt of the fact. But the insurance
company had a full right to examine
the body, and could have done this in
the days that intervened between the
finding and the burial. By not exer-
cising that right at that time they
seemed to waive it. Subsequently the
company wished to exhume the body,
and the family refused to permit it...
On this account the family was beaten
when it sued for the insurance money.
Now, however, two judges of the Super-
ior court of New York, have decided in
favor of a new trial, upon the ground
that the insurance company did not,
even under its contract, have an‘ abso-
lute right to dig up the body upon a
mere fishing inquiry to find some possi-
ble reason for refusing to pay.

The “boxing carnival” at the Seaside
night was well attended, it being esti-
mated that there were 2,000 persons
present. There were several events,
the drawing card being the “go” be-
tWeen Jack Dempsey and Tommy
Ryan‘the former for a long time the
middle-weight champion of the world.
The drawing card though, proved to be
a tame one.
It is generally believed from his act-
ions that Dempsey entered the ring
intoxicated. He did not strike a blow
during the three rounds that the fight
was allowed to last.
Ryan seeing the condition of Demp-
sey only struck him once, and then but
lightly. _
At the end of three rounds the re-
feree gave the decision to Ryan.

New Town Court.
A meeting of the attorneys at law of
the town was held at the office of Hurl-
butt «it Gregory, last night at which
the report of Attorneys Light, Frost
and Hurlbutt, a committee appended
to draft a bill for a town court was read.
The proposed bill was read in sections,
and found satisfactory, and will be pre-
sented to the General Assembly for
adoption. The bill provides for a
Judge, Associate Judge, two prosecut-
ing attorneys and a clerk. It also
provides that the court shall have civil
jurisdiction to the extent of $500, and
criminal jurisdiction to the extent of
$250 and six months in jail. The bill is
ably drafted and it is to be hoped that
it will be accepted.

Obstruction Removed.
A force from the lighthouse depart-
ment in charge of Mr. Greene has just
succeeded in removing a dangerous ob-
iruction‘from the sound, near Eaton’s
Neck lighthouse, off the Norwalk Is-
lands. About a month ago the schoon-
er Simpson, east-bound, with 400 tons
of coal, sank. Her mastheads were
left in such a position as to make it ex-
tremely dangerous for passing vessels.
Many complaints were made to Harbor
Master McNeil, of Bridgeport. He
visited the War Departmentand se-
cured an order to remove the obstruct~
1011. It was blown up after two days’
work. There is no danger to vessels at
this point now.

Refused the Request.
During the hearing of a divorce case
in New Ha'vemThursday, counsel for
the defendant asked that reporters be
excluded from the room. In,_ reply
Judge Ralph Wheeler said : ,
“Since I have been on the bench I
have never made any‘orderto exclude
reporters from the court room when
open court-s such as this was being held.
[have known that reporters in report-
ing court doings have always been care-
ful not to publish anything which
would injure the feelings of anyone or
be unfit for public rea'ing. I decline
to grant the order asked for.”

Conspicuous Figures who \Vili be Missed
- Attenthe 4th of March. Breckenridgo
Shunned on Every Side. The Father of
of the Senate is 84.
During the first few days of the Open.
ing of Congress the Dembcratic Senators
concealed their bitterness in the warmth
and friendliness of the reunion, but
probably they all had constantly before
their eyes the knowledge that after the
4th of March next their power in both
Houses of Congress will have been broken,
and‘that the Chief Executive in the White
House will finish his term handicapped
by the existence of a Republican major-
ity in both Houses of the national Legis-
lature. . ' ' ‘
i In looking over the Democratic side of
the chamber it is interesting to note that
the Senators from the three States that
were lost to the Democracy in the Novem-
ber election were all implicated more or
less iii the sugar scandal investigation.
Gen. Ransom’s son was convicted of buy-
ing stack, although the transaction was
undoubtedly a perfectly preper one. Sen-
ator McPherson of New Jersey was con-
victed On his own testimony of having . ‘
inadvertently purchased sugar stock
through the too strict attention to duty
of his cook, and Senator Camden of \Vest
Virginia was on the point of, being con-
victed, more directly perhaps than any
of the others, when theib’roker through
whom it was alleged ,he purchased his
stock fled fromfthe‘ ocuntry and the Sen-
ate officials were unable to find him, al-
though they announced through the
papers and. by~ every means known to
give publicity that they vveré on his
tracks. , . . , . ‘

On thé
the most,_interestin.g figures were those of’
the venerable Senator Merrill of Vermont
and John Shermanof Ohio. The former,
who has passed his 84th birthday, is still
physically sound and mentally as bright
and strengziis many men twenty years
his junior. He was heartily congratu-
lated by_:his colleagues, without regard
to party,:on‘ his good health and youth‘
fulness. Senator Sherman has grown
rapidly white-haired and white-bearded
of late, but otherwise'he looks just the
same as he has at 'any time during the
past quarter of a century. Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts, more than ever like a.
cherub, was also the object of much at-
tention, as were. Cullom of Illinois,

Opening day was MrJR-eed’s day in the
House of Representatives. As soon as'hév
entered the hall before the session began
the great crowds in the galleries, the
members on the floor, the clerks, door-'
keepers; pages, and everybody‘else setup“
a mighty cheer, and in a few minutes the
n'ianfrom Maine was surrounded by an
eager crowd, anxious to shake his hand~
and applaud him as themost prominent.
member of the triumphant Republican:
party. There was also a big cheer for
William L. VViison .when he modestly
took his accustomed seat, but theap-
plause came largely from the members of
his own party, Whose greeting'ivas mixed
with sympathy for their repudiated lead-
er. ‘\Vhen Speaker Crisp marched 'up‘to

ceal his thoughts. ' ‘ ‘
As the crowd in the galleries look down;
upon the confused mass of figures on the
floor, they see the ancient Mr. Holman of
Indiana, the father of the House, busy
Writing-at-his desk, apparently unmind-
ful of the fact that his long service. in"
Congress is about to end. They see Dock-
cry of ~Missouri being" congratulated as
the one conspicuous brand rescued from
the burning, and Breckinridge being
snubb‘ed on every hand. They see Bryan
of Nebraska attempting to pointiout to
his Populist friends how it was that his
State and he were lost together. They,
saw Bland of Missouri, the daddy of the
dollar, chewing his cud as usual and lit?
terlng the floor ,with bits of paper, as
though writhing in agony. They see
Springer with the ever-present red rose
in his buttonhole, happy and frisky as,
a lamb, explaining it all, and the defeated
New York Democrats, telling their friends
that they hadn’t a word to say. Dan
Lockwood, who went down with Hill, is
the butt of nearly all the jokes aimed at
the..NeW York delegation. ”The gallery
audience may also look upon other (lei
i‘eated warriors like Heard of Missouri,
Kiigore of Texas, Byiium of Indiana, Tom
Johnson of Ohio, McAiecr of Pennsyl-
vania, Outhwaite of Ohio, Lafe Pence of
Colorado, Jerry Simpson of Kansas-the
only Snodgrass of Tennessee, Tracey, the

me see.” “Isn’t he a fine fellow?”
“My dear,” said the wife, as she carried
the animal to her nostrils, and put it

Since Paine’s. celery. compound was l
I
The'physicians of large-practice who
are now. in} the 'habit of daily employing
this remedy say that n'oginVIgorator has
anything like the power. of Prof. Phelps’
great preparation, Pame’s celery com-
pound. ‘
Mr. Levi Campbell of Danby, Vii,
whbse'.portrait--'is printed above, had
the usual-experience. Last year when
the angering season int-hat state opened
in February, (it isagreat industry, in
Vermont) he was not in good health: He
was troubled with headaches—badones.
He procured a single bottle of Paula’s
celery compound. f‘I began taking at,”
he says, ‘fand felt better at. once:” His
appetite returned. 7 ,‘He stoppedetakmg
the compound. . He ..wolzked:~.hlxdzzfiind
successfully. Hooverdid himselfyand
at the end of the season began tot-be
troubled again. - He again took Paine’s
celery compound. and this tlme earn-
estly. Two bottles made hnn__a well
man and permanently cured him. {As
in a ihousandpf other cases in andfop‘t
bf New England Paine’s- celery com.-

' '_Nisu7‘foirn, Jan. lax—woe Lakewcom-
mittee’s report'of its investigation? of the
New York police department and the pro-
posed measures for, the. reorganization of
the department made public, at Albany
caused a great deal of talk'at police head-
quarters. . .
Superintendent‘ Byrnes, _ whose powers
will be increased under the new bills, when
they are passed; maintained his 'usual si-
lence when seen.
The proposed amendment to the. present
pension'law, under which‘30 yeast-service
instead of ‘20 will entitle a” man restore
on a pension, is generally regarded as a
good thing. . -' .. . . 5 -.~ '- '-
Should.,the ,bill recommendediby the
committee to appoint a commission of three
to reorganize the department become a
law it is likely that a number of; the pres-
ent superior officers will have 150230. '
The bill in question-makes it the duty
of the commission to inquire into the
qualifications - and efficiency of the uni-
formed force and all others‘persohs con-
nected with the department and to certify
for dismissal all persons’in their judgment
not possessed of the qhalifications. .
The mayor has the ‘bsolute power to
dismiss any member of. the department
_ certified for dismissal by the commission.
The mayor can also disapprove of the com-
mission’s- recommendation if 'he’ "sééé'fit.
The general belief ,is that it lazthe inten-
tion to try to.» get rid of all members'off
the forcewho were besmirched during the
Lexow committee’s investigation. The re-
organization committee would doubtless
take up immediately the cases of the in-
spectors and captains who were accused of
corruption.
The not creating a. chief of police, deputy
chief of police and six inspectors would
give the executive head of the department
many superior officers {who would be his
immediate subordinates" ‘ ‘
spection district scheme would doubtless
.be abandoned, and the chief could make
3:6 of every inspector to the best advan-
. ge. — - '
Considerable speculation has already
been indulged in as to who will be deputy
chief of police in the event of the proposed
Inspector Con-
lin is the senior inspector and would ‘:b0
entitleditof the place. Mr. Conlin stands
with a‘clear record. ' His name ‘Was‘riev’er
mentioned before the Lexow committee.
