_for--'by Colonel 'Ains‘vvorth. chief of the
record‘and'pensiOn bureau of the war de-
partment, wasdismiSSed on that ground.
Justice Bingham' in his decision said an
examination 5of the law only established
what he had never doubted-{that the cor-
oner in holding an inquest sat as a court,
and was vested with the power and au-
thority Of a judicial Officer. It was well
proven that in, the absence of express
statutory provision such an official could
not delegate , his authority to another.
Congress alone could authorize the trans-
fer of such pOWer. -
The justice then addressed himself to the
audience, among whom were a number of
the clerks. , He said it was important that
theylshould _ understand that a coroner’s
court was not like a town meeting. How-
ever deplorable the circumstance might
be,.i_t was the duty of all to sit as good cit-
izens and to pay respect to the law. J us-
tice Bingham admonished the people to
let the inquest be'conducted in a quiet, or-
derly way by the coroner himself.
After the accident on Friday last Dr.
Patterson asked Dr. Schaeifer to act for
him at the inquest. Dr. Patterson said he
was physically unable to conduct the in-
quest. His health was poor, he said, and
his hearing imperfect. Dr. Patterson is
very ’deaf and has reached old age, and for
some time past Dr. Sohaeffer has acted for
him in important cases. In at least seven
cases persons have been committed for
manslaughter or murder on the warrant
of Dr. Schaefier, assuming to act as dep-
uty coroner. All these" commitments are
now, Of course, pronounced illegal. Ac-
cording tO the decision of Chief Justice
Bifigham the coroner alone can act at in-
quests.
The commissioners of the district de—
cided yesterday afternoon to order a new
inquest over the victims of the disaster,
and directed Mr. Thomas, the attorney for
the district, to assist Coroner Patterson in
conducting it. In view of Dr. Patterson’s
ill health the commissioners thought
seriously of appointing a new coroner, but
on Dr. Patterson’s statement that he could
conduct the inquest if Mr. Thomas were
allowed to assist . him the inquest was
ordered. It was . ascertained that the
bodies of Messrs. Loftus and Fagan, tw0
of the victims, were still in the vault at
Glenwoodcemetery, and the Officers of the
cemetery were directed. not to inter them
without permission of the coroner.
Dr. Patterson decided to resummon the
old jury, Messrs. .Warner, Halvey, Ayre,
Kellog, Schneider, and Sibley._ One of the
bodies at Glenwood was viewed by the
jury this forenoon and the inquest begun
anew. , - .
Just how far the acts of Deputy Coroner
Schaeifer prior to this decision will _be in-
validated, is rather a curious question. It
is, however, believed. that nothing serious
will result. This is .due to a. fortune“
which few, .if any persons. have been com-
mitted to jail byhim as deputy coroner.

any authority for appointment for a dep- ,
uty coroner.

Kalnoky's Peace Predictions.
VIENNA, June 15.——Count Kalnoky, the
Austro-Hungarian prime minister, deliv-
ered another speech yesterday on the sub-

triple alliance had not brought about an
ideal peace it was not the fault of the al-
liancenvhich was disposed to peace,though
often menaeed by war. In regard to Rus-
sia, no change of policy was necessary.
Good relations with Russia could always

dropping out Of life through nervous
prostration‘ and Bright’s disease, and
indeed ”thenumb’er that succumb to
these growing maladies has increased
alarmingly of late. Eminent medical
men agree that this is chiefly Omng to
overworking the brain and neglect.‘ ‘If
some preventive measures_were taken
'1 instead of letting everything go, the
evil would at» once be corrected. When
indigestion makes itself known then is
the time-tenet; not wait until the blood
is poisoned by excess of uric acid
which leads to .prOsti-ation and disease,
“ It would have been a ‘great' deal eas-
ier ” remarked one of our well-known
physicians the other day, ashe dls-
missed a number of patients, "‘ if, they
had (taken Dr. Kennedy’s .Favorlte
Remedy when they first discovered
that their food did not digest well. - A
spoonful after each meal for a few days
would have corrected their trouble. ”
Dr. David Kennedy’s-Favorite Rem-
edy, is the only medicine that dissolves
the excess of uric acid in the blood ; so
many troubles are brought about from
this one cause, rheumatism, dyspepeia,
diabetis, kidney and liver complaint,
urinary trouble and the Sicknesses
that women suffer from, all come from
one source. _
A notable instance comes .to ourmind
of a gentleman well known in Washing-

the Century Press Company of N O. 203
Seventh street Southwest, and for years
deputygrand'master I. O. O. F. for
the district of Ulster and Delaware, N.
Y. In conversation about Dr. .Kenne-
dy’s Favorite Remedy he said “ He
suffered for years w1th§the most ago-
nizing indigestion and cramps. _Favor-
ite Remedy was suggested to him and
that he used it but a_short while when
the old trouble entirely disappeared
and that he had never had a return of
the old trouble since.”
Commander James S. Dean, of Gen-
eral Grant Post, G. A. R., Rondont, N.
Y., says: “It’s the best medicine I
ever used. While in the armyI con-
tracted an aggravated stomach trouble
which hung on me for years.- Physi-
cians without number prescribed but
to no purpose. After usmg Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy a week I felt
better and a few bottles cured me.”
Mr. C. L. Seaver, Of Birmingham,
Conn, suffered from Bright’s disease
and rheumatism near the. heart. “ My
attending physician,f’ said Mr. Seaver,
“said I could not live. I then asked
him if he thought Dr. Kennedy’s Fa-
vorite Remedy would help me? He
said he had heard it well spoken of and
I had better try it. The result was I

more, I have since then recommended
it to upward of 300' peOple and havc

sl Assembly/held 'a session Tuesday,
the senators being at Narragansett Bay
on invitation of Senator Milner as the
guests of the Popham club. There
was favorably reported a bill creating
county health Officers, one for each
county in the state. They are to be ap-
pointed by the Governor on the recom-
mendation of the state Health board.
The county health Officer is empow-
ered to appoint deputies for each town
not having a city or borough form Of
government. For each day’s actual
service the county officer is to receive
$10 and the deputies $3. The act took
the usual course, being tabled for calen-
dar and printing. Its immediate in-
spiration is said to be the fear of an in-
vasion f_ cholera this summer.
, A bil incorporating the New Haven
Street Railway company was passed.
This_corporation absorbs most of the
old lines. There were also passed acts
incorporating the Milford Land and
Cottage company and the J ewett City
and Western Steam Railroad company.
Elliot B. Summer was appointed
judge end Andrew J. Boyden clerk Of
the Willimantic City court. Favorable
action was taken on the bill establish-
ing the'fire limits of Westport. '
The most impOrtant bill acted upon
was the authorizing cities and mun-
icipahties to establish plants for the
manufacture Of gas or electricity. It
went through without Opposition,
rather to the surprise of a number Of
the members. If it becomes a law it
will enable cities to erect works for
supplying illumination to their ‘ resi-
dents in competition with the private
corporations now controlling the busi-
'ness. That the corporations should
not have fought the measure or that it
should not-have provoked the same de-
gree of controversy as would have
most likely confronted a proposition to
place water works and street railway
lines under municipal control is re-
garded as singular. ‘
The health Ofiicers provided for in
the bill favorably reported are to have
the power Of the grand Jurors in
prosecuting cases. '
The-bill providing that the Railroad
commissioners be appointed a special
commission to act upon railroad im-
provements in Bridgeport was on the
Senate calendar for action Wednesday.
In the absence of Chairman Houlihan
it was on motion of Pierce laid over unw
til to-day. Mr. Pierce said that it ap-
peared to him proper to go slow on a
matter which had seemingly evoked
the opposition of 4.000 of Bridgeport’s
residents. Houlihan subsequently ar-
rived and said he had no objection to
delay.
At his suggestion the bill was made
the special order for next Wednesday
at 11 O’clock.
The bill providing for the election Of
County Commissioners by the people
was called from the table where it had
been for the past two months, on the
favorable minority report of the J udici-
ary committee. ' After considerable dis-
cussion it went over until to-day on mo-
tion of Rood.
The following matters on the calen-
dar were passe : Incorporating Shel-
ton Savings bank; act against fishing
nets, seines and weirs for unlawful fish-
ing purposes; incorporating Connecti-
cut Landand Improvement company
of Brid e ort; incorporating Shelton
Street ai road CO.,; the D. C. and M.
M. R. club of Fairfield. ‘ .
In the HOuse the two reports on the
Corrupt practices act were taken up.
Stoddard, Of Milford, vigorously at-
tacked the bill contained in the .majori-
ty report, saying it was impossible for
the ordinary citizen to comprehend it
after a careful perusal. He had read it
himself and was puzzled as to its im-
port in certain respects. One clause
he objected to was that limiting a can-
didate for Governor to the expenditure
Of $600 for election expenses,
Mr. Stoddard argued that there were
instances in which he might legitmate-
ly expend a great deal more in the dis-
semination of literature and other
means for the enlightenment of voters.
Both bills were ordered printed in the
session laws and continued to thenext
session Of the General Assembly.
Favorable action was taken on the
bill creating a naval reserve force, one
company to be located in Bridgeport,
although Lounsbury-‘of Darien made a
strong speech in opposition. His mo-
tion to indefinitely postpone was lost
by a vote Of 86 to 72. The Military
committee reported a bill providing
for a representative of the state gov-
ernment on Connecticut day at the
World’s Fair in October. ~ They recom-
mend that the party consist of the
Governor and staff, Lieut. Governor,
the U. S. Senators and representatives
in Congress, one state senator and two
representatives from each county, the
speaker of the House and clerks of
