A Serious Accident.
Sydney Smith met_with an accident
early Sunday , morning that he Will
probably not forget even though he
were permitted to live to be as old as
the Town House. . '
He is employed at a boardlng house
kept by Isaac Lee} on Main street.
Sunday morning about 5 o’clock, as
“Maria,” the cook, employed at the
same place, was'coming down stairs
Smith called to her from his room and
asked her to summon a physician as he
had met with an accident whereby he
had broken his leg. She awoke Mr.
Lee who summoned Dr. Baldwin at
the request of Mr. Smith. _ .
On the arrival of the physician an
examination was made of Smith’s in.
juries, and he found that while Smith
had not broken his leg he had sustained
injuries of an alarming character, and
it was decided that a consultation of
physicians be held._. ,2 ._ .
Smith was made gas comfortable as
. posisible.. In the meantime Dr.“Greg-
ory was called and shortly after his ar-
rival Smith’s wounds were dressed.
One of them of minor importance be-
ing a severe contusion on his side. ,
It was learned that he had fallen
from a window in the rear of the build-
ing into an enclosedarea way. .
Smith is’ deaf but after artime replied
to written questions. He says that he
gotup in the night. and‘somg _to the
window of his room, which IS" two
' stories high from the ground floor, ac-
cidentally fell out“ into _ the area _way,
striking on a beer-skid and several
cases of bottles.- ' - .
Mr. Lee dees not believe his,story_;
in fact his every .actiOn after the acci-
dent shows theimprobabilityi of the
same, for instead ofgomg to a rear
door which was bolted _on the inside,
and oing up the stairs and alarming

- Lightning Freaks.
The Marlin gun factory at New Ha-
ven was struck by lightning at about
9:30 Tuesday night. Its motors were bad-
ly damaged and a large auxiliary motor
exploded. About the same time the
residence of Mrs. Kain, at Poplar and
Pine streets, in Fair Haven, was struck
and set on fire. Mrs. Kain was serious-
ly injured. She will probably recover.
The loss on the house is about $1,500.

This remedy seems to have a peculiar
' power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of La Grippe, but in all Dis-
eases of Throat,‘Chest and Lungs, and
has cured cases of_ Asthma and Hay

U nder-Care—l-ills—More People
Than—Outflow;
Many Try to Correct the Trouble
When-it is Too Late.
“I believe,” said one of. Toledo’s
prominent physicians, “that more peo-
ple die from under-care than over-work.
It is rarely that one attends to the
slight pain in theback, the nervous,
irritable condition, loss of appetite or
sleep. These, they think Will get well
of themselves. That’s not so, but in-
stead they mean weak bodies, feeble
digestion, shaky nerves, but the princi-
pal trouble is With the stomach. Un-
less the food is thoroughly digested
andassimilated, the body cannot be
nourished; and unless. the liver and
kidneys properly secrete the bile and
throw off the waste matter that nature .
udOes not need, the blood is poisoned
andi‘the? nerves break down.” ‘
2 Excess of uric acid in the blood is
the principal fault. Rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, kidney, liver and urinary
troubles and the sickness women suffer
from all arise from this one cause.
The one medicine physicians rely
upon to dissolve this acid, thus purify-
ing the blood and curing the diseasefis'
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy.
' We were astonished upon inquiry to
'find the good this medicine has done
and is doing right in our own city.
“If you doubt it in the slightest de-
gree,” said one of our city druggists,
"‘I can refer you to a dozen or more of
our best people who have purchased
Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy of
me and have been cured or rheumatism,
kidney and urinary troubles, dyspepsia
and other different ailments that result
from impure blood. ’.’ .
Mr. S. 1. Young, of Hiram, Ohio,
came out in. a public letter and said,
“for twenty years or more I have suf-
fered with inflammation of the bladder
and kidneys, kept gradually growing
worse. Since I have been using Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy I have im—
proved daily and have not in five years
felt as well as I do now. I gave a
friend of mine who was afflicted with
bladder trouble, part of my bottle and
he said to me a day or so after, ‘tha’t is
a great medicine you gave me, I am
better already ;’ and he drove eight
miles to get another bottle.”
A happier woman ,does not live in the
State of Ohio than Mrs. Willey, of 412
Court St., Cincinnati. Mrs. Willey
suffered from rheumatism complicated
with neuralgia and severe headaches
and at regular intervals with the illness
peculiar to her sex, at times almost
crazy with pain.
In speaking of Favorite Remedy,
Mrs. Willey said : “I employed physi-
cians in Denver, Chicago, here and
elsewhere, with but temporary relief.
Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy has
done me more good than all the doctors
puttogether.
have been in years.- In. every instance
where I have recommended it to friends
it has helped them.” .
‘ The case of Mrs. Sophia Schmidt, of
805 Bartlett St., Toledo, 0., is another
instance ofthe curative power of Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. Mrs.
Schmidt sufi‘ered from anulceiation of
the knee. In speaking of her sickness
she said : “ Four different physicians
had me in hand and found their treat-
ment was entirely useless, tried various
home remedies but they gave me no
help. It was through the daily paper I
found out about Dr. Kennedy’s Favor-
ite Remedy, and it certainly is a grand
medicine. 'It has done me a great deal
of good. I have gained in strength and
feel altogether-better in every way. '
Inquiry among Mrs. ‘ Schmidt’s
friends-proved that she states nothing
but facts in regard to her case. Many
other instances of the kind are widely
talked of here in Toledo, where Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy has efl'ec-
ted cures after physicians had given up
hope. . -' .
* ocal physicians who have been in.
terviewed agree that Dr. Kennedy’s -
Favorite Remedy is the most reliable
meanslknown for curing rheumatism.
diseases of the nervous system, kidney,
liver and urinary troubles ' and all of
the different diseases brought about by
an excess of uric or lactic. acid in the
blood.' . . , .
For that tired out or run-down feel-
ing, so frequent in the spring, there is
nothing else that will build you up so
quickly. It a natural food for the brain,

_ Captured.
George L. Wood of Danbury, who".
was" wanted for stealing a horse was
captured by Chief Dann on Saturday,
in New Canaan.
- Wood, who is about 20 years old", (in *.
Wednesday morning hired a bicycle
from a Danbury firm and wheeled to.
Bethel. Later in the day he rode into
'Nichols stable and said'that he wanted
to hire a team to. drive to Bedding.
Mr. :N ichols let him have. a turnout veil-
ued at $300. Woo‘dleft the bicycle and
drove away, and up to the time of his
arrest, Nichols did not know of the
whereabouts of his property.

police and. had postal cards containing

on the chronic. absenteeism of the ag-

cient _numbers to insure a! quorum two
days in .the- week,.adjournment would
be possible by J une-‘ '10.!Z'Ewhile at the
*rate matters were now goiég on it could
not ‘be accomplished. until at least a
month later.
The Judiciary committee reported
unfavorably and the House rejected
the bill _creating the office of milk iii--
‘spector in Bridgeport.
The main discussion in the House
was over the act exempting from tax-
ation the property of the Pine Grove
Camp .eeting association in Canaan.
In the bill as first submitted only that
part of_ the property used exclusively
for religious purposes was exempted.
The _Senate passed the measure after
striking out the word “exclusively.”
Gunn jumped vigorously on the bill-
M and said the law freeing religious in-
stitutions from taxation had been much
abused In the past, and further laxit
in this direction should be discourage .
Now almost any person or association
could, by the slimmest sort of a relig-
10118 Pretense, get rid of taxation. Un-
der the proposed act‘ persons could
erect cottages on the camp ground and
occupy or rent them without having
any participation in or any connection
With the religious exercises carried on
at the place during a small part of the
year. Indeed it would be possible for
the entire town of Canaan to shirk the
pa ment of taxes.
.11 replying Wood accused Gunn of
religious intolerance, and with attemp-
ting to make the bill ridiculous. Hotch-
kiss concurred with him, saying Gunn
was not only treating the matter with
unjustifiable lenity, but also misrepre-
senting the purport of the act. The
language of the bill was that property
on the camp ground was to be exempt
only “so long as it was used for relig-
ious purposes.”
Saxe and Healey sided with Gunn.
The former said he was iiiformed that.
a Bridgeport man named John Chafiee
owned two. cottages on the ground
which he did not occupy but rented.
And_yet he supposed that under this
bill it would be claimed the buildings
were being used for religious purposes.
Gunn’s motion to indefinitely post-
pone being declared lost by the speak-
er, the _former doubted the decision
and a div1sion was in progress when
the lack of a quorum became apparent;
This led Gunn towithdraw his doubt.
He then spoke particularly against the
Senate amendment and the House,
after striking it out, passed the bill in
its original form. ,
The committee on Incorporations re-
ported favorably the bill' authorizing
the Citizens’ Gas Co. of Bridgeport to
increase its capital stock to $1,600,000
and issue bonds equal to the amount of
the stock. The same committee also
reported, favorably on the incorpora‘
tion of the Stamford Gas and Electric
Light Co- and the Ridgefield Electric
Light and Power Co. All were tabled
for calendar and printing.

A resolution by Healey prov1ded that
all tabled business be made the special
order of _the day for Wednesday of
next week. Gunn . opposed on the
ground that this would not afford suffi-
cient time for a proper consideration
of these matters,’ and his objection
prevailed.
. The bills creating a state board of
education, and allowing all steam rail-
roads to use electricityg’were passed.
The Senate refused to restore forfeited-
rights to Frederick Smith of Bridge-
port. . .
The bill prohibiting the manufacture
and sale-of electricit by corporations
other .thanthose c artered for that
especial purpose was tabled. .
Senator Morgan presented each of
the state officers and members of the
General, Assembly With a fine steel en-
graving of. himself.
The 'Senate Wednesday passed the
bill relating to the care of neglected
and dependent children. It' is the act
drafted on account of the Josie Barry
casein Bridgeport. . Under the bill as
passed, children may be released-or
discharged from. county homes, or
from families, on justifiable cause being
shown to‘ 9. Superior court judge. Par-
ents or guardian must be the petitioner,
and” t e court must be satisfied that
the re ease or transfer sought is for
the benefit of the child.
' _ Ministers of any, denomination are to

provided. Underthe old law children
could not . betrans’ferred to any public
institution. and the County commis-
sioners had sole power. The changes
‘elfected byvthe~ act were mainly at
the instance *of' the“ Catholic clergy.
Heretofore» a. child committed to a
county home could not be removed to
a Catholic orphan asylum when such
transfer Was manifestly for the good
of the youngster. Any taxpayer may
now appeal from the decision of the
County Commissioners, but iflthe judg-
ment is adverse he must pug costs.

1895, and postponing the various appro-
priations of 325,00 each, all for six
months each, to that the first shall be
in January, 1894, the second, July,
1894, and the third, January, 1895.
The bill was passed as amended.

About a year and shall agola report,
or alleged report, . was promulgated
from \Vashin ton purporting to give
the result of t e investigation made by
the U. .S. Steamer Fish Hawk is the
waters of «Long , Island Sound. This
alleged report stated that Long Island
Sound was, practically a sewer, corked
at one end' by Fisher’s Island and at
the other by Hell Gate, and within
these limits the waters washed back and
forwards, with no outlet, constantly
stiring up the filth and rendering every-
thing raised in it poisonous. This was
a blow at the Connecticut oyster busi-
ness and it was widely published by the
New York papers. Long Island oy-'
store, on the Connecticut coast Were
poison was the statement, and although
disavowed by the department and e-
nied otherwise the bogus report did
considerable damage. Now, however,
we have the real report from the U. S.
Fish Commissioners, showing what was
done by the Fish Hawk and giving
Connecticut a clean * bill of health.
Upon page 111 of the report of the U
S. Fish Commissioner for 1889-91 we
find the following:
In 1889 the work was begun in the
N orwalk district and was carried
thence eastward through the Westport,
Fairfield, Bridgeport,‘*.-'-Stratford and
Milford districts, into Orange district.-
Dredgings were made at frequent in-
tervals and, sometimes under guidance
of the owners of oyster territory,- who
were able to locate particular localities
where starfish were then abundant.
The oyster traps were also set under
many different conditions, but always
with practically negative results as ex-
plained below. '
In 1890 the physical and chemical ex-
aminations occupied nearly all the time
from the beginning-of the season -- until
the middle of September. Self-regis-
tering tide gauges were first established
at New London, New Haven and Wil-
let’s Point, _ 'Y.‘, after which observa-
tions, in the irection and velocity of
the currents were made at regular in-
tervals between the mouth of the Con-
necticut river and the East river by
means of the Ritchie-Haskell electrical
‘ meter.
' The chemical analysis of the water
were conducted in the same connection,
and covered samples taken from every
variety of location, from the harbors
and river mouths to the outer and deep-
T-he subse-
quent dredging operations were chiefly.
restricted to Bridgeport; and“ Stratford
districts, and were carried on wi_
greater detail and precision than .111
1889, stations being made at regular in-
tervals of half a mile in both directions.
In this manner it,was expected. to ob-
tain a centinuousrecord showing ,tqhe‘
character and condition of the bottom.
- “ Both the physical and chemical in-
vestigations were conclusive in demon-
strating that; ‘ WSW Bithe’gelf-
Island Sound, the o sterlgrowers have
f‘nothing to fear for ‘t as: city 'of their
beds, no great amount of po lotionhav-
ing‘been found at any place examined,
and the interchange of waters With the
open sea‘being stiflicientalso to insure-
their purity far above the standard re-
quired for oysterraisingflt ' ‘ , '
findin , and
at the mouths of our rivers and about
our docks, it is a very truthful and rea-
sonable statement of the conditions un-
der which the deep water oyster cultu-
.vation is carried on. and refutes ofli-
cially the stories of pollution which
have been so industriously circulated
by interested parties for the damage of
the Connecticut o'y'ster‘busi’ness. ‘

A'BOLISHING THE COMMISSION. ‘
Philadelphia’s Palace Officials Will Con-
test Their Dethronement.
PHILADELPHIA, May 25.——The receipt of
a telephone message from Harrisburg that
Governor Pattison had appended his sig-
nature to the Penrose bill abolishing the
public building commission caused a flurry
of excitement in the mayor’s office. '
Upon getting the information City So—
licitor Warwick, Directors Beitler and
Windrim, and Controller Thompson ar-
rived at the mayor’s office and held along
consultation for the purpose of arranging
for the transfer of the building from the
abolished commissioners to the city. The
only thing which could then be done was
to make arrangements for the transfer
until the mayor receives a copy of the act
authorizing the abolishment of the com-
mission, as the building commissioners re-
fused to give up the keys. I
When Mayor Stuart sent his notification
to the commissioners that the public build-
ings were transferred to J. A. Windrim,
of the department of public works, only
Commissioner John HillIvvas in the ofliCe.
He it was who issued the order not to give
up the keys. _Mr. Hill said: “We do not
propose giving up anything just yet, but
will test the matter in court, and see
whether the powers that be can ,ride over"
us or not. We have already started pro‘ '
ceedings in court. We propose to hold on '
to the keys, and will’ not give them up un-
less brute force is used.” Mr. Hill said he
had nothing further to say except that ,
able counsel had been engaged.
