long birch staff that has been her compan-
ion for years. When aNcw York Times
reporter called Sunday morning she greet-
ed him with her usual heartywelcomeand
invited him to a chair. Mrs. Raymond
looked about the same as she did last
year, and was as anxious to talk as the
reporter was to " listen. Her "speech
is not very distinct, and her eyesight is
growing dim, but her hearing is as acute
as ever. During the past few weeks this
remarkable old lady’s senses have been
falling, and her relatives and friends are
afraid that she is gradually losing her
mind. On her one hundred and fourth
birthday Mrs. Raymond will celebrate the
event, and her descendants for four genera-
tions will be present, with a large number
of the towns-people, who have been in-
vited. ~

sometime ago, over the rolling stock com-

ed by a good many people, for there were
a good many stockholders. Tuesday a
resolution .was reported in the Senate
looking to the cosolidation of the fourcon-
cerns known as the Housatonic 8; Maine,
the New England, the Housatonic, and the
Bridgeport Rolling Stock Companies into
one company, to be called the Consoli-
dated Railroad Stock Company. The
corpmators are Samuel E. Dawson, Ed-
mi'ind Day, Sidney Beardsley, Jeffrey O.
Phelps, Goodwin Stoddard, Charles L.
Long, Cornelius I. Sweetland, James H.
Moulton and others, holders of stock in
any one of the four companies. The new
company maylbuy, build, rent, sell orlease
rolling stock in or out of the, State. Its
capital is to be $4,167,340. It is to have
not less than three nor more than nine di-
rectors, with no specification that any
must live in the State. It may declare
such dividends as its “business may re-
quire.”_ It is to be taxed only on its gross
receipts from business “wholly within the
State” and to pay one per cent. a year on
that. Two shares of' stock of the old
companies will be taken for one in the
new company. If any stockholder does
not come into the reorganization in a year

tee whose decision shall be final to fix tnc

Another Man Killed.
Ferdinand Fried, a young Bohemian
about 23 years came to this country about
a year and ahalf ago, and found employ-
ment as bartender in Goldsmidt’s saloon
on Water street, where he remained until
about two months ago, when he left to ac-
cept a position in Asch's furfactory, South
Norwalk. On Thursday evening last
he left his boarding house in the Whistle-
ville district to go to the South Norwalk
post office, with the intention of returning
at once. His long absence, however,
alarmed his friends, and some of them
started out to hunt him up. At about
eleven o’clock his dead and mangled
body was found at the foot of a steep em-
bankment by the railroad by Brown, Mc-
Canna and Cottrell’s bat shop, and it was
plain that he had been struck by a train
and'thrown down the embankment. His
left leg was broken and, mangled, the
back of his skull was crushed in and his
forehead contained a frightful cut. The
coroner was notified and made an exami-
nation, rendering a verdict in accordance
with the facts. The body was taken to
New York for interment.

STATE AND GENERAL.
Two “coalboxes” Of the Empire &New
England Transportation company were .
wrecked near the Thimble Islands Wed-
nesday morning. The circumstances were
somewhat peclluar. The tug which had
four coal boxes in tow passed between In-
ner and'Wheaton’s reef in a course often
followed. She seemed to touch ‘on some-
thing but passed safely as did the first and
second boxes of the tow. The third hit
hard on something and passed over and
the fourth sturck it solidly and parted the
line connecting it with the third. It filled
rapidly, remaining sometime with her
how out of water and then slid off into
deeper water. The third box was found
to be sinking and was towed intosballower
water but went down in about20 minutes.
The man on the rear box took to a row
boat and escaped. The manager of the
company says of the wreck: It's almost
as much of amystery to us as the wreck
of the Oregon is. The course taken by
the tug is the usual and and there is sup-
posed to be from six to seven fathoms of
water where the accident occnred. It was
extremely low tide at the time and I sup-
pose the rocks caused the trouble. It
seems strange, though, that the tug which
has a draught of over 12 feet should go
across the obstruction with only a jar,
while the boxes, Which were only drawing
8 or 8% should be ploughed in the way they
Were. I think the cargo and boxes can
be saved by the wreckers. The boxes
were worth $1,500] apiece and were in-
shred.”
Shelton had an incipent riot the other
day, when some of the employees in the
Derby Silver Company’s factory were
tantalized into a row by boys and 'hood-
lums who called them “scabs,” etc.
Arthur Lyon of Eastford has, by his

blows on her body. Lyon gave the boy a

“Why should every honorably discharged
veteran of the late war have an exemption
from taxation to the amount of $1,000 ?”
To thisquestion an old soldier replied: “I’ll
tell you why. The debt of the state and
the debts of'the towns are dire chiefly to
war expenses, and most of the towii ,cx-
penses were voted by the patriots who '
stayed at home and voted town taxes to
hire substitutes. It isnot‘fair to ask the
men who went to the front tO'pay as much
of such of such taxes as others pay, and
therefore the exemption is just and prop-
er.” There seems to be some force in that
way of putting it, but then, it’s 21 years
since the war ended, and memories are
short.—00uramt.

A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“ In the winter of 1879 I was attacked with
Serofula. in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time I had no less than thirteen large
abscesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually. exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting _to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure.‘ -It is impossible
to fully describe my sufierings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrhu After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was induced
to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. - And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly sears, which
are daily becomin ‘smaller by dc ees, and
beautlfu ly less.’ do not know w at it may
have done for others, but I do know that in
my case, Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proved an
e ectlve specific indeed. As an evidence of
my atltude I send these facts unsolicited
and am ready to verify the authenticity_o
this cure, by ersonal correspondence with
any one who oubts it."
