An impbrtant Decision.
The New York Court of Appeals, the
highest judicial il‘lbllll-ll in that State,
has recently rendered a decision that
will interest street railway corporations
and their patrons in all parts of the
country. The immediate application
of the deeision is, of course, limited to a
single State, but, as it deals with gen-
eral principals, not with a statutory en-
actment, it is quite likely to serve as a
widely accepted precedent and may
have cheering on the suit to be brought
against the Tramway company by the
heirs of the late Oliver lit. Mumford,
who was thrown from a trolley car at
Bowsyton in October last, and killed.
The court decides that a man thrown
from the platform of a car on which he
' had been ruling can recover damages
from the company for the injuries he
received. The court referred to the
habitual practice of street car com-
panies to permit people to ride on the
platform, and held that .the exislence
of this practice precluded the company
from claiming exemption from result-
ing injuries.
One of the worst annoyances of street
our travel in every city comes from
permitting people to ride on the plat-
form. There. are many persons who
prefer to ride there when there is plen-
ty of room inside. Other passengers,
entering or leaving the 0hr, have to
push iheir way through the outside
crowd, a process that is not agreeable
to genlemcn, and is extremely disagree-
/
able ’5) ladies.

Allison and the Presidency.
The Republicm State Central Oom-
mittcc of Iowa has formerly placed
Senator William B. Allison, of that
State, inthe field for the Republican
nomination for the Presidency. In so
doing the committee has acted entirely
within its perogstives. ' ‘
No citizen of the Republic has better
earned the title of ‘5a good Western
man" than the distinguished Senator
from the HawkeyeState. He has earned
the right to be considered thoroughly
American in instincts and spirit, “and a
broad—ganged, high-minded and level-
headed statesman. As the incumbent
of the Presidency Senator Allison would
never give his countrymen occasion lo
apologize for him.
A Good Suggestion.
President Cleveland’s suggestion! in
his message that larger freedom be
granted to the National Banks, and that
those institutions be permitted to es-
tabllsh branches in neighborhoods
where" local banking facilities are lack-
ing, is altogether commendable. In
that way the agitation for a revival of
the system of old State banks could be
done away with, and the business pub-
lic provided with banking accommoda-
tions of guaranteed soundness and dam-
onstrsicd efficiency. The usefulness of
the National Banks has been abun’dant-
ly proved, and Mr. Cleveland’s utter
ance in favor of enlarging their powers
and decreasing their burdens is a sig-
nificent recognition of the wholesome
relation they bear to our currency sys-
tem. ‘

The Packham Nomination.
The first nomination sent to the Sen-
ate of the Filiy-fmrth Congress was
that of lion. ltulus A. Pecklxam, of
New York, for the r-flice of associate
justice of the Supreme court cf the
United Slates.
The'namc of Peckl‘mm will recall the
memorable struggle when the influence
of Senator Hill defeated Hornblower,
the first. nomination for thevacancy cc?
casioned by :he death of Justice Lamar,
and Wheeler W. Peckham, the second
nomination, the place being finally fill-
ed by the nomination and confirmation
of Justice White, of Louisuna.
’ It was said at that time that Senator
Hill would not haveopposed the nom-
ination of Rubia H. Peckh‘am, who had
had, in oppobition to Hill and his fac-
'tion in politics.
Mr. Peckham is now a judge of the
court of appeals of New York, and
cars the reputation of an eminentjurist
He will doubtless be speedily confirm-
ed without opposition and thus the Su—
preme Court will again be complete in
its membership.
Congregational Church Pete.
The entertainment given by the Con-
gregational church at the Opera House
last night was a great success. The
house was crowded and the participants
were received with hearty applause.
The first part of the program was de-
voted to music in which Mrs. Newkirk,
Miss Sherwood and Messrs. Hatch and
Nash favored the audience with several
fine selections. Miss Miller and Mr.
Daniels also gave piano solos which were
greatly enjoyed. Mrs. H. S. Bissell
was also heard in several recitations.
The second part of the program was
“A. Dream of Fair Women,” which was
ably presented and and reCeived hearty
commendation Miss Alice Cholwell
looked beautiful as. Helen of Troy.
Miss Alice Sherwood as Queen of
Rhodes, liss Katherine White as Cleo-
patra and Mr. Carl A. Harstrom as
Charmian also delight-ed the audience
with their impersonations. As Jopli-
thah’s daughter Miss Jeanette Gregory
displayed exceptionally fine elocuiion~
ary powers. Mrs. Samuel L. Weed
made a fair ROSamond and Miss Louise
Woodward an excellent Beatrice. Miss
Millie Wilcox as Queen Eleanor and
Miss Alice Cram as Joan of Arc, were
Very fine as were Mrs. Bissell as Elo-
cutionist and Miss Sally Butts as Musi-
cian. Ward Gregory made a fine
Dreamer and was greatly envied by
several of the young gentlemen in ihe
audience. Miss Grace Adams, Miss
Clara Beats, Miss J ulia Lockwood, Miss
Edith Hunter, Miss Ethel Wilcox, Miss
Alice Cole, Miss Alvse Gregory, Miss
Anna Cole, Miss Anna Woodward and
Miss V ra Wood made charming maids
and attendants.
Where Postofflces Pay.
Of the fifty-one political divisions of
the United States, counting Alaska, the
Indian Territory and the District of
Columbia, the postoffice business trans—
acted in but ten of them shows an ex-
cess of receipts over the expenditures.
New York leads with an excess of $3,—
797,502.68, with Massachusetts second,
at $1,517,544.59 ; the remaining eight
states of this class show u gain of but
$2,400,000, and of this amount nearly a
million dollars comes from Illinois, for
which the city of Chicago is largely re-
sponsible. The other states where it
pays Uncle Sam to do a postofiice busi‘
ness are Connecticut, Delaware, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Rhode Island and Vermont. With the
exception of Maine, every New Eng-
land state isin the list, and Illinors is
the only one west of New York. Ohio,
on the other hand, shows an excess .of
expenditures of between two and three
million dollars, the greatest of any state
in the union, while Nebraska and Kan-
sas come next, with deficits of more
than a million dollars each.

The Coming of Charles T.‘Eilis.
There should be a glbrious evening
at Hoyt’s Theatre on Monday, Dec. 9,
whens. popular favorite will appear in
the person of the comedian, Charles T.
Ellis. This young actor is one of the
few who holds a secure place in the
popular heart. He has always kept
faith with the theatre-going public; be
‘has never advertised what he failed to
carry out; his pretty plays have a charm
that appeals to the sympathetic heart.
They ‘are, above all, clean and whole-
some. These arc probably sorne of
'Mr. Ellis’ strong points. His plays are
always nicely mounted; the scenery is
new and bright; the costumes are his-
torically correct and the whole pro-
ductiOn up-to~date. .

Addie Dryer Attempts Suicidal
While In a Rage:
Objected to the Police Entering His
Apartments.
Addie Dryer, aged about 55 years, at.
tempted to commit suicide by shooting
himself in the neck with a revolver yes-
terday afternoon at his home on Grove
street, South Norwalk.
Dryer, who is a half-brother of Mr.
John Drescher’s mother, has been liv-
ing with Mr. Drescher at No. 11 Grove
street for about four months. For some
time he has displayed peculiar symptons
and Mr. Dre‘scher became convmced
that ho had gone daft, and in order to
Satisfy himself he requested Chief Voll-
mer to go to the house and interview
Dryer.
Yesterday afternoon shortly before 5
o’clock Chief Vollmer accompanied by
Detective Gladstone walked down to
the house in response to Mr. Dreschcr’s
request. Dryer saw them coming, h'ow-
ever. and suspecting their errand, he
ran upstairs and hid himself in the attic
of the house. “
The two officers were informed of
Dryer’s retreat and started up stairs af-
ter him. Detective Gladstone was in
the lead, and just as his head appeared
through the trap door leading into the
attic, there was a blinding flash and a
loud report. The Detective dropped
upon the stairs, and the Chief asked
him if he was shot. No, responded
Gladsfone, but Ithink he fired at me as
my hat is gone.
While satisfying themselves that
neither of them had been hit they heard
groans coming from Dryer. Hastily
climbingithroughg the trap door they
found Dryer rolling about the attic
floor with a pistol shot hole in his
neck. ’
7 The wounded man was carried down
stairs and Dr. A, N. Clark summoned,
who found that the bullet had passed
through the front of his neck and lodg-
ed at the back, just missing the juglar
vein in its course. The wound was
dressed and Dryer questioned, but he
refused to say anything about the
shooting except that he was mud.
The pistol with which the shooting
was done is of 32 calibre and was pur-
chased by Drycr yesterday morning.
It is thought that Dryerhad intended
to commit suicide at some future time,
but the sight of the officers coming to
the house angered him and he fired the
shot as soon as they entered the attic
where he had concealed himself.
‘The wounded man is apparently all
right to—day beyond the shot in his neck
but still refuses to talk about the mat
matter.
Barringer - Canfield.
The house of George Canfield,
“Drum Hill,” Wilton, was thescene of
a pretty home wedding last evening.
The parties most interested were Mr.
George Brirringer and Miss Nellie Can-
field the oldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Cunfield, The nuptial knot was
tied by the Rev. S. W. Holmes. The
ceremony took place in the parlor in
front of an evergreen horse'shoe which
screened the organ upon which the
wedding march was played by Mrs.
George F. Canfield. After the cere-
mony the happy couple were showered
with the congratulations of the numer-
ous guests. Ample refreshments were
Served and about eleven o’clock the
bride and groom were driven to their
new home on Belden Hill. The wed-
ding presents were numerous, pretty
and useful. °

Officer Morehouse last night placed
under arrest u’man who was in ha very
muchly befuddled condition. As near
as could be understood at the time his
name was John Funklehopper and his
home West-port; He was lodged in the
station house over night.
This morning, he was brought be-
fore Judge Hubboll, apparently rc-
freshed from his night’s incarceration.
He was very communicative and gave
his name as Whittle von Cappcllcn, oc-
cupation, carpenter, residence West-
port. . ,
He said that he went _ to South Nor-
walk on Monday where he had amoucy
order for something like $50 cashed.
He “sampled” at a few of the saloons
in that city, and then came to the
younger and more attractive sister Nor-
walk, and continued the sampling;
So pleased was lie with the change he
purchased a new suit of clothes, and
continued the drunk without date.
Prosecuting attorney Gregory read
the complaint to him which charged
him With having been intoxicated, con-
trary to the Statutes, etc, to which
complain‘, he ui'.h a Chesterfieldisn
air pleaded guilt}, and expressed the
hope that his honor would deal lenient-
,ly with him.
He claimed that he had been relieved
of some $25 for which he had received
no return, and produced an empty
pocketbookto corroborate his stato-
ment.
On being asked if he had ever
been arrested before, he prémptly
answered “No,” and to the quarry as
to whether or not he had ever not
[drunk in Wcsiport, he replied. “Not
nowadays. We voted‘no license and
when we want to get full we come to
Norwalk.”
The judge fined him $55 and suspend-
ed execution of the sentence.
Wiitie thanked the court, secured his
gripsuck, and started on foot for home.
During his festal vialts at the differ-
oift saloons in town, an almost unde-
cipherable order for his satchel con-
taining an old suit of clothes which he
had left at Bryant Besse & Co’s. at the
time he purchased the new suit, was
presented at the store, but the manager
refused to recognize it, and it is per-
haps owing to this action that Wittie
had tho satchel and its contents to take
back home with him this morning.

best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
I Therefore, as Hood’s Sarsaparilla
cures all blond diseases, it is the best
“remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness. .
It is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking a preparation which only
quiet: your nerves I It is like trying to
“drown” your sorrows in the flowmg
bowl. They are sure to return.

You cannot purify your blood by
DEADENING or QUIETING your nerves,
with opiate, narcotic or nerve com-
you are only TRIFLING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be a REAC-
TION which will leave you worse than
you were before. ' .
Why not then, take the true course,
follow the bee-line to the state of
health, purify your blood, and cum
your Nervousness by taking -
