At Hartford.
, There was no quorum in the House
Tuesday. but the conditions gave prom-
ise of a large amount of business being
done until a snag was reached in Calla-
han’s motion to indefiinitely postpone
Hale’s amendment. to the game laws.
It provides that any person found on
posted ground with a dog or gun, or in
fields with them in the open season
shall be deemed to have shown prima
facie evidence of being a violator of the
game law. Lessees are given the same
right-to arrest them as owners of prop-
erty posses under the present law. Cal,
lahan objected on the ground that the
the amendment savored ofclass legisla-
tion. The speaker declaring his motion
carried, Hale doubted and the yeas and
nays showed only 104 present. .Messe-n-
ers were dispatched to bring in mem-
hers from the corridors, but still there
were net enough. Then Botchkiss sug‘-
gested that an adjournment for 15 min-
utes be declaredjnstead of until to-day.
The speaker decided he had a right to
., do this and acted on. the suggestion.
-When-the House reassembled'after the
. recess the motion was unanimously car-
ried.
The Governor sent to the House the
nomination of Milton A. Shumwaypf
Killingly, to be judge of the Superior
court from January ’94. Mr. Shumway
is a lawyer of conceeded ' ability, about
45 years old and popular With both par-
ties. Nominally a Republican he is
liberal in his views.
A2 bill was passed that the statutes
now - gOverning the taxation of steam
railroads should also-apply to street
railways. Another bill-was passedre-
quiring horse and electric railroads to
‘ make more complete annual reports.
This was the measure which E. 0. Ben-
edict advocated before the committee
in s mpathy with a dissatisfied. stock-
hol er of the Norwalk Horse railroad.
One of the last important matters
awaiting action was the bill relating to
the sale of adulterated liquors. The
Temperance committee reported unfav.
orably on the bill. House Chair-
man Noble said that under it druggists
and retailers would be cut off from
buying liquors in quantities of less than
one barrel. Wholesalers were also for-
bidden to sell under a rectifier’s stamp.
The bill was rejected. ,
The same committee also reported
favorably a bill permitting electors and
taxpayers to sign more than one license
application and it was passed. In ac-
cordance with the report of the same
committee the present law making the
refusal of a person arrested for Sun-
. day drunkenness to tell where he got
his liquor punishable by his conviction,
was repealed. The bill making liquor
dealers ineligible to become registrars
of voters was passed in concurrence. .
After a forcible speech b . Tuttle
there was passed a bill ina ing the
Derby turnpike a free highway. All
the other turnpikes _in the state had
previously been abolished.
First wardens were empowered to ap-
point deputies. ‘ _
In the Senate Hamilton introduced a
joint resolution authorizing the county
of Fairfieldoto issue $45,000 of bonds to
pay its share towards the new Wash-
ington bridge.
The Senate made the unfavorable re-
port of the judiciary committee on the
act for a constitutional convention, the
special order for next Thursday at 12.
Passed a bill permitting street railway
companies to apply to_ the Railroad
commissioners for permission to cross
steam railroads at grade. Power to
grant such permission is now vested in
the Le islature. There were also pass-
ed rescfiutions incorporating the River.
side Water > company of GreenWich,
and the New Milford and Lake Wara-
maug Railroad company. .
The Holcomb amendment to the pool
bill was passed by the Senate Wednes-
day. It provides that the proVisions of
the original act shall not be construed
as prohibiting the giving of purses'as
premiums for trial contests of skill,
speed or endurance of man, _ beast,
bird or other machine, and the charg-
ing of an admission or record fee to
any such trial or contest. '

visions of the original act against pool
rooms and gambling by other agencies

numerOusly signed petitions. Only Fox
and Hall voted against the amendment.
Those who spoke in favor of it were
Holden, Phelps, Holcomb, Milner and
Coffey.
There was also passed in concurrence
the bill allowing a taxpayer and elector
to become a signer on more than one
license application. Also a bill provid-
ing a penalty of $10 for any person
who shall use, trafiic in, sell, dispose of
or convert, multilate, destroy or detain
after demand by the owner, any butt,
hogshead, barrel or half barrel used in
the manufacture or sale of malt liquors
without permission of the owner unless
the package was sold with the contents.
Each subsequent offence is punishable
with a-fine of $20 or three months’ im-
prisonment.
Rejected the bill that no native or

- shall be granted a liquor license or‘be-
come an application signer or bonds-
Also rejected in concurrence the

either party to the action. A resolu-.
tion was passed incorporating the Port

and also an act relating to the borough
of New Canaan. _
In the House the Military committee
submitted a favorable report on the
bill creatingfaur companies of naval re-
serves, their location to be determined
by the commander-in-chief. As intro-
duced the measure provided that the
companies should be located at Bridge-
fiort, New. Haven, Hartford and New

tee recommends the payment of $5,-

l
We have been called upon at no other
time to our knowledge, to record such
a remarkable restoration to health as
that of our fellow townsm‘an Edward
Fields, whose sickness and suffering
are known to many of us. Mr. Fields’
statement is well worth careful reading
for it suggests many things that will be
of benefit. ‘
Perhaps it will be more interesting
to let Mr. Fields relate his experience
in his own words.
“ For the last ten years,” said Mr.
Fields, “I have been going down hill
rapidly. I was so nervous that I could
not sleep. I had to get up and smoke
and do what .I could to occupy my
mind. I was in perfect misery all the
time and the result was I became dis-
couraged. Several physicians pre-
scribed for the various ailments they
supposed I was suffering from,but none
of their medicines .did me any good,
and so I continued until I learned
through the Courier of .Dr. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy. What it had done
for others seemed to hit my case, so'I
determined to try it.
“I purchased a bottle and com-
menccd the use of it at once. and the
result was decidedly for the better. I
continued usmg it until I had taken
nearly four bottles and now I feel like
a new man. I can sleep for eight hours
steady; am stronger in every way,
every pain and ache dispelled,'and I
think Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remed
is the best medicine on earth for buil -
ing up a broken up or worn out system.
I would like to say still further, if this
should chance to meet the eye of any-
body doubting this statement, that will
take the trouble to write to me, I will
satisfy them by an immediate reply.”
Upon inquiry among Mr. Fields’
neighbors it was found he stated noth-
ing but the truth, and many other sim-
ilar cases have been brou ht to our no-
tice where Dr. Kenne y’s Favorite
Remedy has saved the lives of people
in Seneca Falls after their cases had
been given up by attending physicians.
In commenting. on r. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy in the Medical J our-
nal, Dr. W. H. Morse, of New York
city, says: ' .
“ The great power in Dr. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy lies in the fact that it
is. the only medicine known today that
dissolves the excess of uric or lactic
acid in the blood. Many of the com-
mon diseases arise from this one cause;
for instance, rheumatism, dyspepsia,
scrofula, j liver, kidney, and urinary
troubles, salt rheum, nervousness, sleep-
lessness, and the sicknesses so common
to women, all come from this one pri-
mal cause, excess of acid in the blood.
Hence the failure ofjother treatments,
which cannot dissolve this acid, to cure
disease. Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Rem-
edy has never failed to cure these dis-
eases no mattenhow complicated,where
a cure was possible. Favorite Remedy
is now a standard Specific for all these
deadly uric acid troubles and is pre-
scribed by physicians and used in gen-
eral hospital practice. Every dealer in
medicine has it for sale.”—Seneca Falls,

Testimony cf Bridget Sullivan,

N01: vssr DAMAGING 'ro Lizzui
She Says That Anybody Might Have Had
Access to the House Without Hen
Knowledge—She Declares gthe Family
Relations Were Always Pleasant.
’Niiw BEDFORD, Mass., June 8.—At the
opening of the third day of the Borden
murder trial the morbid curiosity of the
female portion of the community was
catered to, and nearly one-half of the spec;
tutors were women. Their necks were
craned one way as Miss Borden entered
the room, looking as unconcerned and
fresh as any one possibly could under such
trying circumstances. After she took her
seat Mr. Jennings had a five minutes’ con--
versatlon with her, and she appeared very
much interested and animated, a smile
breaking out occasionally as the talk pro-
ceedcd.
Mr. Kieran, the civil engineer, was re-
called for the first witness, and was fol-
lowed by J obn V. Morse, whowas a guest
at the Borden house the night before the
tragedy. After his testimony an adjourn—
ment was taken.
0n reassembling Miss Borden took her
seat for the first time within the bar co-
closure, and near her counsel. She ap-
peared to be in good spirits'and fondled a
small cluster of pansies, which seem to be
her favorite flower. The first witness
called in the afternoon was Mrs. Caroline
Kelley, who stepped in while Bridget
rested. She is the wife of Dr. Kelley, and
lives in the next house south of the Borden
house. Her testimony was unimportant.
Then there was the greatest interest
manifested as Bridget Sullivan, who was
the servant at the Borden house when the
tragedy occurred, was called.
Miss Sullivan detailed at length her
movements on the day of the murder. The
last time she saw Mrs. Borden alive was
when she gave her instructions as to
washing clothes. Ten minutes later she
spoke to Lizzie in the kitchen, and then
proceeded with her work both inside and
outside the house. She heard no voice at
any time. _ When she let Mr. Borden in
he did not‘ speak to her.
Miss Lizzie came down stairs about five
minutes afterwards and weht into the
dining room. I heard her ask her father
if he had any mail, and she ”,told him
that Mrs. Borden had received a note, and
had gone out. Then Mr. Borden took the
key of his bedroom and went up the back
stairs. When he came down soon after he
took a rocking chair in the sitting room
and I went on washing my windows.
While I was doing this Lizzie came into
the room, took an ironing board into the
kitchen and placed it in position. She
asked me if I. was going out this afternoon,
and I said I did not thinkI was. She says
"Well, if you do be sure and lock the
doors, for Mrs. Borden has gone out on a
sick call and I may go out myself.”
“Then I went up to my room and laid
down. The first notice I took of any time
was when I heard the city hall clock strike
11. I think I had been there three or four
minutes. I don’t think I went to sleep.
Heard no noise. Am able to hear the
opening and closing of the screen door if
it is done by a careless person. The next
thing I heard was when Lizzie called me
to come down, as her father was dead. -‘
That was at least fifteen minutes later.”
- Counsel asked witness to describe the
dresa Lizzie had on that morning, but ob-
jections stopped an answer. She .re‘mem-.
bered a light blue dress, with a sprig on it
of darker blue.
Continuing,witness said: “When! heard
the outcry frolezzle I went down stairs.
I cannot tell what dress Lizzielhad on.
When I came down the backway the
the heavy wooden door was open, and
she was leaning against the door. The
screen door was shut, but I could not tell
whether it was hooked or not. " I went to
go in the sitting room, and she said: ‘Oh,
Maggie, I’ve got to have adoctor right
away. I was out in' the back yard, and
when I came in the door was open and I
found father dead. Do you know where
Miss Russell lives?’
“I did not, and she told me. I did not
find Dr. Bowen. Then I went to the cor-
ner of Second and Borden streets for Miss
Russell, and she was not there. Then I
found where she did live, and told her
what Lizzie wanted. I guess I .ran to Dr.
Bowen’s, but I don’t know. When I came
back I found Mrs. Churchill. I said, when
I came back, that if I knew where Mrs.
Whitehead lived I would go and tell Mrs.
Borden, if she was there, that Mr. Borden.
was very sick, and Lizzie said: 'Oh Maggie,
I am almost sure I heard her come in. Go
up stairs and see if she is there.’ I said.
‘I will not go up stairs alone,’ and Mrs.
Churchill went up with me. When I got
high enough on the stairs to look into the
room I saw the body on the floor, and ran
in and stood by the foot of the bed. The
door was wide open. I did not make any
examination of Mrs. Borden’s body.
“When I was called ‘Maggie’ it was not
unpleasant. I . never had 'any trouble in
the family and liked the place. I never saw
or heard anything out of the way in the
family relations, and. during my nearly
three years of service everything was
pleasant. Lizzie and her mother always
spoke to each other. I heard them all
talking in the sitting room that morning,
and Mrs. Borden asked Lizzie some ques-
tions and she answered them civilly and
properly. So far as I could see they lived
'I' think I
first examination. I have testified that I
locked the screen door, but I now say I
don’t knowwhether I did or not.” .
All the time, 'she was washing . windows
that door was unhooked, 'froin 9:30 a. m.
nutil’she got through. She had told Lizzie
that she need not book it, because she
would look after it; but as a matter of fact
she never went near it until she went in.
Any. person could walk into that door at
any time. she said, and she no! see him.
When-at one time she "stood back of the
house, talking over the fence to the Kelly
girl, there' was a chance for any one to
come in at the front.
“When I got back,” witness said, “from
going 'aftcr the people I found Mrs.
Churchill there and Dr. Bowen. Lizzie
was on the lounge. Her dress was free
from spots of blood, and her hair was not
disarranged. I say. simply, that I saw no
one come with a note, but the note might
have come to the house and I would not
have secuit.”, '
This concluded Miss Sullivan’s testit
many, and she was allowed to sit-down.
