The Facts.
The Hour on Saturday publishes a
letter from Dr. J. W. Fy'fe, of Songs-
tuik, relative to the death of young
Edward Warren, who was shot by a
companion last MOnday night, in which
the doctor attempts to explain his pro-I
fessional connection with the case.
The Hour also adds that the doctor’s
statement refutes many of the inaccura--
cies published by the local dailies in
reference to the accident.
In the doctor’s letter he states that
after young Warren's father had de~
oided to remove the boy to the Norwalk
hospital, “I placed a large napkin in
the wound and crowded it against the
injured blood vessels in such a way as
to prevent hemorrhage, and kept it in
place by tightly placing over this nap
kin several thicknesses of bandages.
The whole dressing was so arranged as
to keep up constant pressure upon the
blood ressels involved.”
This statement Of Dr. Fyfc is not
borne out by the examination made by
Medical Examiner Burke, who made
an official examination of young War-
ren’s wound after his death.
In this examination Dr. Burke re-
ports that he found four Openings in
the femoral artery and the dressing put
on by Dr. Fyfe saturated with blood.
He further reports that the bandages
about the leg to prevent hemorrhage
were placed so loosely that he was able
to run his hand underneath and cut
them off. V V i . ,
These are the facts in the case, and
while the statements made by Dr. Fyfe
do not agree with the published reports
of the accident, those of Medical Ex-
aminer Burke fully coincide.
CO
Beauties of Finance.
In these days you can take‘ your
paper money to the United States
Treasury and get gold for it. Then you
can cut around the corner with this
gold and sell it at a premium—that is
for more paper money than you gave
for it.
Every merchant, of course, expects
to sell what he has to sell for more than
he gave for it. But the funny feature
in this case is that the man buys and.
sells from and to the same establish-
ment. He buys his gold from the treas-
ury, and immediately sells it to or for
the treasury at a higher price. i
For $10,000, in paper-the Treasury
must give you $10,000 worth of gold.
And in order to keep up its supply of
gold the Government must buy. It
will therefore buy from you the gold it
his just sold you. And it will give you
anywhere from $10 to $50 advance’On
your $10,000.
And you can do this a million times
over. SO that out of your $10,000 you
may make from ten to fifty millions.
The people pay; but the. Government
is “maintaining the parity of every
dollar withevery othe’r dollar.”

Senator D. 8. Hill.
Of the many surprises 1n political life
which have from time to time startled
the community, Senator David B. Hill
has furnished more than an average
share.
Despite the bitter feelings which it
has been alleged exist between PresiJ
dent Cleveland and the Senator, it has
been demonstrated on two occasions
that the Senator places the success of
the Democratic party at the head of
all other personal desires.
During the heated campaign of 1892
Hill stepped into’ the bleach and the
battle was won.
Now, while the President is being as-
sailed On all sides, Hill again comes to
the front and electrifies the pBOple with
an able defence of Cleveland and his
financial policy. He has sent the gold
bugs of Wall "stl'eet’ihto a state of panic
by his plea for bi-metallism.

A Double Funeral.
The largest funeral ever held from
Trinity church, Bridgeport, was the
double funeral of Anson B, Field and
his wife Antoinette A. Field. Mr Field
has been employed for the past twenty
years in the Star shirt factory, and
both he and his wife had many friends

Fell off East Rock.
A man about 35 years Of age, who has
not yet been identified, met death Sun-
day morning by falling off the summit
of East Rock park, at New Haven, down
to the level, a distance of 415 feet. He
was well dressed, and had a gold watch
and $15 In cash in his pockets, His
nose was broken, his skull fractured
and both legs broken. Nothing was
found to lead to his identity. His death
is believed to have been accidental.
Killed at Stamford.
Joseph B. Paight, aged 60 years, who
lives two miles out side of Stamford, on

by an east bound express on the Con-
solidated road at the Elm street cross-
ing Saturday night. Paight was walk-
ing home in company with two other
men. They had been in the city until
late and had gone home under the in-
fluence Of liquor. Both Paight’s legs
were cut off at the knee and his arm at
the elbow. He was taken to the city
hospital, and died Sunday morning.
As Others See Us.
The chronic local jealousies audiwant
of union between its several organized
communities on matters affecting the
town as a whole, and which in so many
instances in the past has been detri-
mental to the progress and prosperity
of Norwalk is again at its Old work.
This time it threatens to defeat a propo-
sition to do away with the antiquated
justices’ court system. The lawyers
are twitted with being the prime mov-
ers of the plan, and very likely they
are. If not they ought to be—they are
bound to be if for no other reason than
decent respect for the d1gnity Of their
profession.——Advocate.
F‘bund in a Dying Condition.
George Henry Waterbury Is ncw an
inmate of the Soldiers Home, and his
death may be expected any , day.
Waterbury lived alone in a house on
Marshall street at Cobble Hill, so—
called. For a day or two he had not
been seen about the place, and Homer
Brown who lives near by decided Sat-
urday afternoon to make an investiga-
lion.
He secured entrance to the house and
first made a. search in the kitchen, but
failing to find Waterbury, went into a
front room in which there was a bed.
Here he found him half undressed lying
on the floor in an unconscious condi-
tion. He at first thought he was dead,
but on lifting him up on to the bed saw
that he breathed.
Hastily throwing some quilts over
him he came to this city and notified
Chief Bradley who Lecured the assist.
ance Of Dr. J. G. Gregory and went to
the house.
t was decided to take the unfortu-
nate man to the hospital and the am-
bulance was telephOned for and Water-
bury transferred to the hospital. Yes-
terday, it was deemed advisable to take
him to the Soldiers’ Home.
Waterbury is a pensioner and has re-
cently suffered fainting fits. His sur-
roundings at the house bordered on the
filthy. But for Mr. Brown’s timely
discovery hewould no doubt have died,
as there was no fire in the house and tthVVI
m'an was chilled through.
Waterbury is suffering from :a tumor. I
on the brain. Steps will probably be
taken to-dav to have some one appoint-
ed .as his conservator and to take charge
of his property. He owns the house he
had previously lived in and receives a
pension of about thirty dollars a month.

his home in New York,‘ on Thursday

A Great Newspaper.
Washington’ is greatest morning daily,
The Post, has just added to its already
magnificent equipment a new three-
decker Scott press. This is the latest
and most perfect press made. It has
a capacity of twenty- -four thousand ten-
page papers, 01 sixteen thousand twen-
ty- page papers per hour. All of which
come from the press folded and ready
to be bundled for the mails. To one
not familiar with the fast presses, this
great printing machine is an almost in-
conceivable thing At one end the
white paper is unwound from a huge
1-,oll and at the other the printed and
folded papers are passed out at the rate
of four hundredper minute. It takes
a small fortune to 'own such a press, as
the cost of same was about forty thous-
and dollars. This great investment was
made necessary by the exigencies of
increasing business in bomb the Daily
and Weekly Editions of The Post. In
these times, when all sorts of business
are so immediately affected by national
egisiation, people all over the country
are awaking to the necessity of taking
a newspaper printed at the Capital, and
containing the fullest legislative news

Upon the Modern" Shyioékgt 1“»
Mr. Choate was not in- his usual humor
when he‘ began to sum up the case of
William G. Laidlaw against Russel Sage
for $50, 000 damages for injuries sustained
by the explosion of dynamite in Sage’ s
ofllce three years ago, when Norcross
dropped a bomb upon being refused a
satchel full of money by the astute old
Wall street sharp.
Mr. Choate said: The-counsel for the de-
' fense has admitted that Laidlaw honestly
believed in his narration of what occurred
in connection with the explosion. Iwon’tI
give Mr. Sage the benefit of any such ad‘ V
mission on my part. Mr. Sage has been
engaged for years in a calling which
hardens the heart and blunts the moral
sense. He is a. money lender, ' a note
shaver, a stock gambler. He. says to this
man “go,” and he goeth; to this broker
“come,” and he cometh,and to this banker
“shell out,”’and he shelleth. It is an hon-
est man on one side and a dishonest man
on the other—confessedly so.
Sage sat looking at Choate without a
wince. Choate went over near him and
talked down at him as he shook his hand
almost in the face of Sage, and said:
“On the witness stand he was shuffling,
evading, prevaricating, skulking, dodg«
ing, and sneaking.”
There Was not a twitch of a feature of
Sage at this or when Choate fell back,
and still pointing at him said:
“011,416 knows he owes his life to Laid-
laW. He spoke the truth in the drug
store. Every one knows it who has heard
the testimony in the case. Sago was the
only one who was not seriously injured
by the explosion. Why, he was shaving
himself at the end of the fourth day, and
beginning to shave others again at the
end of ten daysl Look at him! Seventy-
eight years old, and keener than the
average man on this jury. He wasn’t
hurt at all. I appeal to these immortal
trousers and the debris of the coat
tails which were' mixed lip with the
debris of the table on which Sage gently
subsided.”
Mr. Choate then swung the trousers
which Sage had worn that day. He said
it was not possible to account .for the
want of injury to Sage except on the
supposition that the missiles which would
have gone to him had struck Laidlaw.
Mr. Choate turned and said: “This trial
is not betheen Sage and this poor man
Laidlaw. It- has become a trial between
Sage and the Judges and courts of this
State. . I have been often asked how I can
afford to spend my-time on this case in
behalf of this penniless man when the
compensation is so little commensurate
with the labor. Theyare trying to tire
him out by appeal.» I’ll stand by him if
it takes twenty trials before this man
Sage is brought to the- bar of justice.”
There was applause, but Justice Pat-
terson said he would punish any person
for contempt who applauded.
“Thank God,” said Mr. Choate when
running over the evidence, “there are
some members of the bar that this man
of millions has not got under his control.
People are afraid of this man of millions. ~
Witnesses are afraid to come into court
against him.”
Mr Choate said that the action would
die with the death of either Laidlaw or
Sage, and that Sage "would spend many
thousands of his ill-gotten millions” to
win the case.
lawyer, who had loaded the case down
with exceptions for another appeal.
TROTTING TRACK FOR A PONY.-
The Unusual Conceit of a. “healthy Man I
in Brooklyn.
A wealthy Brooklyn man recently built
a handsome residence in a. densely popu~
lated part of the city. His action created
considerable surprise among his friends,
as the structure he erected would have
been an ornament to the most fashion-
able neighborhood in the city.
It adjoined a. coal yard, While directly
Opposite it are a number of ramshackled
frame buildings, each one of whichpro-
vides homes for half a dozen families.
IThe man’s next move was to purchase
and then tear down one of these houses
and- erect a. fine red brick stable in its
hasl
place. His last action, however,
stamped‘him as a. really eccentric char-
acter. V
He purchased the coal yard behind' his
house, tore down the fences, and then had’
the place levelled off. Then he had a.
small trotting track laid out.
mainder. of the ground he had sodded
with the finest grass obtainable, and then
an iron fence was erected, through which
the whole of the interior is visible. The
trotting track is a most diminutive affair,
but amply large for the purpose for which
it was laid out, which is the smilsement‘
of the man’s nine-year-old son. .
This led owns a pretty little Shetland
pony, which he rides like an expert, and
any fine afternoon he may be seen tearing
around the track at a great rate. The
other children in the neighborhood gath-
er around the fence and watch him en-
viously.
Occasionally he invites one of them in
and gives him a ride around the track on
his pony. He is a manly little fellow,
and makes a pretty figure with his brown
leather leg‘gins as he urges on his pony.
It' Is a. strange sight in what Is recognized
as one of the poorer sec ions of the city,
and sometimes as many as two hundred
people may be seen watching him through
the fence.
A Question of Balances.
The French-Canadians are not without
a considerable sense of humor, and they
highly appreciate the following story,
told of a. prosperous ba'ker In a town not
far from Quebec. '
The baker was in the habit of buying
his butter in pound balls or rolls, from a
farmer with whom he did a great deal of
business. Noticing that these butter
balls looked rather small, be weighed
them, and found that they were all un-
der a pound in weight.
Thereupon he had the farmer brought
before the magistrate and accused of dis-
honest practices.
”These butter balls,” said the judge to
the farmer, ”certainly weigh less thana
pound. Have you any scales?”
“I have,” answered the farmer.
“And have you weights?”
“No, no weights.’
“Then how can you weigh your butter
balls?”
“That’s very simple,” said the farmer;
“while I’ve been selling the baker butter,
I’ve been buying pound loaves of bread
from him and I used- them for weights
on my scalesl”
