The lovely Marechal Niel rose owes
its “name to the Empress Eugenie.
When General Niel returned from the
scene of his triumphs over the Aus-
trians in Italy after the battles of Sci-
ferino and Magenta a poor man gave
him a basket filled with exquisite yel-
low roses. The general had a cutting
struck from one of the blooms, and
when the rose tree from it had‘grown
he took it 'to the Empress Eugenie.
She was‘ charmed with the gift, but
when she asked the name of the rose,
she was told that it was unknown.
“Ah!” she said. “I will g’ive it a. name;
it shall be the Morechal ,Niel." By
this she conveyed to the gallant officer

peared-very much affected and it was
some minutes before she could walk.
The following witnesses were rail-
road men and identified Willis as hav-
ing taken the train at South Norwalk
on the night of the murder.
Conductor Warriner, porter Harts-
horn and telegraph operator Stevens
all recognized Willis as having been
on the train, Stevens having occupied
the same seat with him.
Herbert S. Ogden, a brother of Mrs.
Lambert, testified to calling at the
Lambert house on the day following
the murder. On the following Sunday
while there he foundthree bullets im-
bedded in the north door of the ' dining
room. These he extracted with a pen-
knife, and, wrapping them in a piece
of paper, gave them to Town Clerk

down, engaged in conversation with
him.
At the end of the route the couple

There Were only four persons in, the
car and the lamps were lit. Willis
carried a small black leather handbag.

“that Willis ~wore a light Fedora hat. a
short light over-coat, dark clothes, and,
he thought, pointed russet shoes. The
other man had on dark clothes, no
overcoat, and a black derby hat.
Four'people got off-at the terminus.
He described, the other two and the
way they were dressed. Asked if he
could tell how each and everyone of
the passengers were dressed on that
trip, replied that, he thought he could
if they were recalled to him. His tes-
timony was not shaken by the cross
xamination.
Albert W. Allen of Westport was
also a passenger on Warriner’s train
and identified Willis, as did Frederick
Gardlick.,a coachman, living at Sauga-
‘tuck who was with Allen.
V Daniel G. Betts of Wilton, testified
that , he woe called to -the Lambert
home on the evening of the shooting.
He went inside and saw; Mr. ‘ Lambert.
On coming out he picked up a stiff hat
on the verandah. He found a bullet
hole in it at the rear of the crown. The
hat was shown in court and identified.
On cross-examination the witness said
that his front gate was exactly 750 feet
from the Lambert gate.
Frank Josephs, who was in th
above named Winnipauk car, on the
night of the shooting, identified Willis
as one of two men who boarded the car
near the Warwick hotel and rode to
Winnipauk arriving there about 5:05
p. 111. He said it was dark and the car
lamps were lit. He saw the black
satchel in Willis’ hand and corroborat-
ed the testimony of Conductor Buck-
man regarding the dress and the ac-
tions of the men.
John E. Shepard of Winnipauk, said
after he had '7 identified Willis, that
the latter was on Conductor Buck-
man’s car on the night of the shooting,
with him, as passengers and that he
carried a small hand I satchel. .He- de-
scribed: the clothes of thetw‘o men the
same as other witnesses had. done. ’ I
‘Mrs. Andrew Bell of Wilton said that
she lived'in' the next house to the'Lam-
berts. Describing MrsolLambert’s hur-
ried call ,on herafter, the shooting‘to
give :the -alarm',.,after other people had
arrived at the? house; Mrs. Bell said: ‘
“As I went in the doorway I saw Mr.
Lainbént'lyi‘ng on Hid‘bh'ck, just inside
the: door. imHe'» was lying across the
doorway: 4 "i picked up his, no. lying'on
the verandah and gave it to Mr. Betts.
'I asked Mix-{Lambert who no: shot him
but .he did not reply; at first I thought
he was dead.” , -
The witness was led‘to show that'the
lower half of the " dobr was closed and
the upper part open. This would seem
to make it plain that Mr. Lambert had
staggered to the door, leaned over it
and dropped his hat on the verandah,
after this, falling to the floor, where he
was found.
A ‘
Magnificent New Equipment .for the
Pennsylvania Railroad’s Congressional
Limited. -
The Congressional Limited of the
PennsylvaniaRailroad running between
New York and Washington has just
been equipped with entirely new cars
of regal appointments.
In external appearance the train
closely resembles the new Pennsylvania
Limited—red name board, cream be-
tween the windows, and dark green
below, This coloring is further en-
riched by elaborate decorations in gold
leaf.
The interior‘of the train is a veri-
table palace. The wood work-through-
out is vermilion, ornamented with
delicate inlaid marquetry in Persian
designs. Each car is furnished in
harmonic colors. I
The dining car is a new departure
and a unique creation. The tables are
placed directly opposite the Windows,
which are unusually wide, instead of
between them; and instead of the usual
fixed seats this car is equipped’ with
mahogany chairs. The tables on one
side of the car are somewhat longer
than ordinary, while those on the other
side are shorter, accommodating only
. two persons.
In consequence there is
much more room on all. sides than form-
erly. '
The most noticeable new feature in
_ the parlor cars is the ladies’ dressing
’room. This is a rounded compartment
, five and one—half by six feet, tastefully
furnished and finished. On one side
stands a beautiful dresser with a large
plate-glass mirror flanked on each side
bya plush wall or corner seat. Be-
sides these, the room cOntains a metal
washstand and several small closets
and racks. EVery lady traveler will
appreciate this latest" effort of the.
Pennsylvania Railroad company to
provide for her comfort.
These new trains went into regular '
service between New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and Washington on
