Frdm the DeWitt Estate.
The state of Connecticut will realize
about $10,000 from the estate of the
late Anna T. B. DeWitt of Stratford,
through the collateral inheritance law.
The law provides that when an estate
goes to other than lineal descendants 5
per cent. of it goes to the state of Con-
necticut. . In the matter of the disposi-
tion of Mrs. DeWitt’s property it goes '
to Dr. Poor, who is her half brother.
The property appraises in the neigh-
borhood of $200,000. Should the at-
tempt now being made by the New,
York heirs to have the will probated
'and the estate settled in New York,
Connecticut would lose $510,000.
Old Colony Road Sold.
The Old Colony railroad has been
purchased by the New York, New Ha-
yen and Hartford. subject to ratifica-

offer of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad'company. It is un-
derstood that this offer is without cash
bonds or other consideration and con-
templates an exchange Of— nine shares
of New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford for ten shares of Old Colony. New
York, New Haven and Hartford will be
given “ex rights” and with the present
priceof 259 and rights at 27, figures
about 396 per share for Old Colony.

The New “Cold Wave.”
The “cold wave” which moved yes-
terday from the Northwest is bound to
the eastward.
As its front passed over Chicago
Tuesday morning the mercury touched
10 degrees below zero Fahrenheit,
while 34 and 44 degrees below zero
were reported from the Northwest
Territory and Ontario respectively.
This new demonstration of winter,
however, is not likely to beiome gen-
erally so severe as that of last Satur-
day night, in which the mercury fell to
52 below zero north of Lake Superior
and almost to zero in New York city.
There is a reason to hope for some
respite from intense frost. after the
passage of the present wave, says the
N. Y. Herald.
Dangerous Duties.
Coupling freight cars is one of the
most dangerous duties that fall to the
lot of our railroad employees, and is
made more dangerous still by the
variety in coupling arrangements
adopted on different railroads of late.
The many accidents that are happen-
ing suggest the need of all railroads in
the country adopting some uniform
coupling arrangement that possesses
the least element of danger. The
newspapers of the country should urge
every state legislature to enforce rail-
road companies to provide their cars
with some particular coupler and if
uniformity cannot be secured, then
perhaps the inter-state commerce
commission could enforce the matter.
The lives of railroad men should not be
subject to unnecessary danger.

The Adams ”Brothers have received

ment. To-d they shipped a hundred

Daughters of the Revolution. .4
In a recent paper was noticed the
' death of the oldest member of the So-
ciety of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, at the age of eighty-
three. The Norwalk Chapter of the,
D. A. R. is proud to number among
its members two ladies, both of hon-
ored names, who have passed this year
in their life journey. '
Miss Julia A. Lockwood, a grand-
daughter of the Revolutionary soldier
whose record makes her eligible,has just
passed her eighty-fourth birthday ; and.
Miss Juliette Betts, a lady just com-
pleting her eighty-eighth year, who
has the unusual distinction of being
literally a daughter of the revolution,
her father having been present at the
surrender of Cornwallis in 1781.
Their' application papers were writ-
ten by themselves, in beautiful clear
handwriting, with a distinctness that
would compare most favorably with
the chirography of the young ladies of
thg present generation.

Wicked Needles.
An ordinary serving needle is an
innocent looking article when in com-
pany with others of its ilk in a paper.
To the thoughtful wife though, it is a
source of great Comfort to her and
greater satisfaction to the husband pro-
vided of course it is used in sewing on
a-"suspender button or engaged in “a
stitch in time to save nine.” But then
a needle is a wicked instrument and
cannot be handled with impunity. We
have in mind one of the wicked kind
which yesterday afternoon gave scope
to its wickedness in a wicked manner.
Mrs. Tyler Waters had been using
this particular needle and laid it aside
with some ravelings on a window sill.
Seeaneg this needle resented being
laid a ide, for when Mrs. Waters picked
the ravelings up and rolled them
between her two hands preparatory to
throwing them in the fire the needle
dove head first with a yard of thread
in its mouth straight into the palm of
Mrs. Waters’ right hand, where it
broke off at the waist and sent the rest
part of its body into the lady’s left
hand causing a bloody wound. But it
was the main part of the needle that
gave Mrs. Waters the most concern
and being unable to extricate it from
her hand she visited Dr. Dexter Hitch-
cock who had to make an incision in
her hand before-the needle could be
taken out. It will be some days before
the hand will be of any sei vice.
A young lady employed at the Shirt
manufactory run a needle into the
palm of her hand Monday afternoon,
but it was extracted without the aid of
a physician.

The Whipping Post.
Says the Ansonia Sentinel : For sev-
eral years past, at different times we
have advocated the introduction of the
whipping post for that most mean and
contemptible coward, the wife beater.
We are glad to see, therefore, that the
Mercer county, N. J., grand jury
make a presentment on the same lines.
After telling that they have had to
listen to many complaints of the beat-
ing of wives by their husbands, they
go on to say that their sympathies
have been aroused and their hearts
touched by the sorrowful stories. They
say there is no adequate punishment
on the statute books for the crime an
add:
While the punishment of offenders
. in this manner may seem to savor of a
return to semi-barbaric customs, this
grand inquest is satisfied that this
,crime is on the increase in the county,
and that the present methods of pun-
ishment are inadequate, and that the
establishment of whipping posts has
been followed in other jurisdictions
by a marked decreasejn crime, and
greater security ’ of life. limb, and
property for women, who are often
otherwise withouta defence or remedy. ,
