ll BIG CASE. Va
Wilso’n Point involved in Another
3 .3 Layering, _
The Papers Served..Tuesday. ‘
Three or four years ago, when the
Housatonic Railroad was _in control of
the Danbury &,NorWalk, it condemned
in the name of. the Danbury & Norwalk
Railroad, additional land at Wilson
Point, which it subsequently leased to-
the Standard Oil Company. Mr: Bur-
ohard, theiowner of- the. land, objected
to this additional serv1tude, claiming
that it was not for “railroad purposes”
and threatened to suejfor additional
damages, or else a restitution of the
land. This suit was not brought, and
things have remained quiet u to the
present time. - Now. the Stan ard Oil
Company are erecting eix additional
tanks at the Point for the storage of
oil, and the trouble has commenced.
This morning Constable Conley visited
the Point and served papers in the
case. Just what is the scOpe of the
action we are unable at this time to _
state—whether an injunction to_'stop
the building of the tanks, or a suit for
damages coupled with an attachment.
Allow me to add my tribute to the
efficacy of Ely’s Cream Balm. I was
suffering from a severe attack of influ-
enza and catarrh and was induced to
try your remedy. The result was mar-
velous; I could hardly articulate, and
in less than twenty-four hours the ca-
tarrhal symptoms and my hoarseness
disappeared and I was able to Sing a
heavy role in Grand Opera With vaice
unimpaired. I strongly recommend it
to all singers. Wm. G. Hamilton,

A Triple Runaway.
There was a triple runaway on Water
street this morning. A horse belong-
ing to M. D. Randall and driven by a
lad named Charles Lindenberg, started
the excitement. The horse became
frightened at the corner of Wall street
and ran down Water street, and on the
way hurled the boy and a barrel Of
flour out of the wagon. A horse be-
longing to Betts S: Farrington and one
belonging to S. B. Wilson, which were
standing on the street, joined in the
race, and all started down the street at
a mad pace. As they neared Leonard
street the speed was slackened and the
Randall and Wilson horses were stop-
ped. Betts 8: Farrington’s horse con-
tinued on into Leonard street where he
collided with a pile of lumber and suc-
ceeded in wrecking the wagon. The
Lindenberg boy escaped injury, but
the barrel of flour that chased him out
Of the wagon had its head smashed in
and heeled up in front of E. J. Hill’s
. _ The other vehicles escaped in-
]ury, although the Wilson wagon was
pretty thoroughly daubed up by the
upsetting of a few pots of paint. Mr.
Wilson’s two little boys had but a mo-
ment before got out of the wagon.
There were several vehicles standing
on either side of the street, and that a
collision with them was averted seems
remarkable. .

Del City and" "the ‘Oce'aurspray'
in 1859. PriOr to this race the Ocean
Spray had splendid records? The race
matron; St. Louis to .SKaokuk. f The ‘
earlypart‘ofv the race money 01699,
ind the excitement was intense. When
caring Bissell’s point, the Ocean Spray
ound the Hannibal City passing her. .
the mate on the Ocean Spray, one Davis,
becoming desperate, ordered the head of
i barrel-of turpentine to be knocked in.
His men were then ordered to dip the
wood in this turpentine before putting
it in the furnace, the Object: being to
quickly increase ,athe steam pressure.
The Ocean Spray was supposed to carry
only 160 pounds of steam, but Davis
thought that by “putting another nigger
3n the szlfety valve” he could run the
pressure. up to 200 pounds and distance
his rival. In carrying the dripping Wood
to the furnace the track became satu-
rated with turpentine, which Caught fire
from the open furnace. The flames quick-'
ly reached the barrel. An attempt Was
made to throw the barrel overboard, but
it exploded, and the burning oil being
scattered all around the boat was soon a
mass of flames.
Scott Matson was captain on the Hafi-
uibal City. :He was a brave and gener-
ous man, and in this instance these two
qualities made his name famous- Not-
withstanding the imminent danger, he
ran his boat alongside the burning one
and rescued every person on board. Da-
vis, the mate of- the burned boat, was
afterward convicted and sent to the peni-
tentiary for such gross violation of the
rules of safety. He was later pardoned.

Somebody's Father. ‘
I think that one'Of the saddest inci-
dents of the war which I witnessed was-
after the battle of Gettysburg. OE on
the outskirts,.seatcd on the ground with
his back to a. tree, was a dead soldier.
His eyes were riveted on some object
held tightly clasped in his hands. As we
drew nearer we saw that it- was an am-
brotype of two small children. Man
though I was, hardened through those
long years to carnage and bloodshed, the
sight Of that man who looked on his
children for the last time in this world,
who, way off in a secluded spot, had
rested himself against a tree that he
might feast his eyes on his little loves,
brought tears to my eyes which I could
not restrain had I wanted. ‘There were
six of us in the crowd, and we all found
great lumps gathering in our throats and
mist coming before our'eyes which al-
most blinded us. :
We stood looking at him for some
time. Iwas thinking Of the wife and
baby I had left at home and wondering
how soon, in the mercy of God, she
would be left a widow and my baby boy
fatherless. We looked ateach other and
instinctively seemed to understand one
another’s thoughts. Not a Word was
spoken, butwe dug a grave and laid the
poor fellow to rest with his children’s
picture clasped over his heart. Over his
grave on the tree against which he was
sitting I inscribed the words: “Some:
body’s Father. July 3, 1863.”—-Blue and
Gray. .
Exploded Traditions at Oid Yale.
Both South college and the Atth
have their now blasted traditions. As
to the former, it has been alleged-in New
Haven—and at least one prominent ar-
cheeOlogist has indorssd the story—that
about the time the. college was built
there was a mysterious hiatus of grave-
stones in the Old cemetery on the New
Haven green. The tradition then averted
that these stones had been built into the
fireplaces of South- college, where they
would be found when the structure was
pulled down. Here was the fine hint for
a college ghost story, based on a. spectral
apparition of the afi‘ronted owner of one
of the stones, but, if ever penned, it is
outlawed now by the discovery that
every fireplace in Old South was of sim-
ple brick.
Then, again, President Stiles’ diary
notes the confession of a student that he
had stolen the college Bible, dropped it
between the courses of mason work dur-
ing the building of: the Athenaaum (1763),
and that there the sacred volume had
been bricked up—a myth proved so now
by the fall of the Athenaum’s walls
without the filched Bible’s reappearance.

The Order Pleased the Cook.
The ' following story is told on a. mis-
sionary of the China inland mission, a
bachelor keeping house for himself in the
southern part of China: One morning,
in ordering his dinner, he wished to tell
his cook~ to buy him a chicken. Instead
of saying “ye” for chicken he aspirated
the word, saying, “Buy me a ‘che.’ ”
Bis cook thought that was an eminently
proper command and went about his
marketing in high good humor. At noon
the missionary found no chicken cooked
—-in fact, no dinner at all, for his cock had
not returned. About dark the man
came back, saying: “This was not a
good day for buying wives, and I have
been all day lboking for one, but at last I
found one for you. She is rather old and
not pretty, but you can have her cheap.
I have promised $40 for her. ”—New York
Independent.
Liquids During Meals. .
If we bear in mind thewhole mechan-
km of digestion, it will readily be seen
that in cases of weakness or want of
tone on the part of the muscles of the
stomach, When' every part of the feed
cannot be properly presented to the ac-'
tion of the digestive juices, the introduc-
' tion into the stomach of a moderate
amount of water may be Of 'no slight
benefit. The mass of food will become
more pliable and so more easily operated
upon by the weakened muscles.—-Youth’s

‘ 4Hopper’s Money. '
ThePhotographer Uses Hls Fists.
As Thomas B. Hopper. the well. '
known photographer was walking. up
from South Norwalk Monday night
about 11:15~o’clock, and when opposite
the Matthews. residence on West ave-
nue two men suddenl jumped out
from behind one of the arge elm trees
and grabbed Mr. Hopper by the collar
of his coat. at [thesame time exclaim-
ing “Young man give me your money!”
Mr. Hopper was thorough} scared,
but quick as lightning he dea t the rob-
ber a blow in the face, loosening his
hold upon his coat and breaking away. =
The other highwayman endeavored to
seize Hopper, but the agile Thomas
was too quick for him and was soon
speeding towards Norwalk on the dou-
ble quic . When opposite the electric*
lightpn Orchard street Hopper stopped
running and looked back to see if his
assailants were following, but could see
nothing of them. He then walked
leisurely up town congratulating him-
self upon his lucky escape. ,
Mr. . Hopper told a GAZETTE repre-
sentative this morning that he had
walked over this same route for years
and at all hours of the night, but this
was the first time ~he was ever held up
or molested by anyone.
One curious fact” connected with the
affair is told by Mr. Hopper to-day, and
that is, that prior to starting for Nor-
walk he had taken off his gold watch
and chain and secreted them in his in-
side vest pocket. Why he did this Mr.
Hopper is unable to explain, and states
that he never did such a thing before
in his life, and believes that he must of
had an unconscious premonition of the
intended robbery.
The highwaymen are described as
being young men about 5 fect 1.0 inches
in height, and both dressed in dark
clothes. ,

j Will the coming man have. a vermi- .
brm appendix?" Who has'not heard of .
that troublesome little pouch in the ab-
lominalregions which. serves no good
urpose, but is. responsible for thousands
f deaths each year? =
._ Emmons Blaine, Senator Hagan and
hundreds of other persons of prominence
had trouble with the vermiform appeti-
lix—and they died. _ ' ,
Now science is asking in'all serious-
iess whether the vermiform appendix
than be allowed toexist; whether itshall
iotbe removed entirely before it‘has the
>pportunity to poison and destroy.
' ProfessorB. G. Wilder has said flatly
that children should be relieved of the
vermiform appendix, just .as they are
vaccinated. But other students in this
new field are not yet ready to pronounce
in favor of so radical a scheme. ‘ .
' Physicians have known for centuries
that the vermiform appendix existed, but
it Was not until 1888—not until five years
tgo—that any one of the profession .had
the daring to make an incision into the
tbdominal cavity and remove this rank
)fiender against the laws of health.
The'attack on the vermiform appendix
is but five years Old, but it is being pros-—
muted with remarkable vigor in New
York city, where it originated, and the
reason is not far to seek. It is simply be-
:ause physicians feel sure that they have 3
evidence that appendicitis, as disease of
the vermiform appendix isnamed, causes “
more deaths every year than consump-
tion," the long acknowledged chief among;
fatal diseases ‘ . '
The appendix vermiformis in nOrmal
condition is about the size of a lead pen-
cil and about 6 inches long. It is very
well shown me. specimen which was re-
moved at a. clinical lecture at the Post-
graduate Medical school on Jan. 13.
This appendix had ulcerated and in-
creased in size somewhat, but gavea very
fair idea. of the part. When perfectly
normal, it so compares with an ordinary
lead pencil that it is most frequently de-
scribed as like it. It is a pencil that
writ/es only death warrants.
Even today very few physicians out-
side of New York city have any accurate
knowledge of appendicitis or would un-
dertake an operation for the removal of
the appendix. SO entirely is the discov-
ery of the disease and the proper method
of treating it an American development-
of knowledge and practice that among
scientists of other countries today ap-
pendicitis . is known as “the American
Since the recent discoveries removals
of the cause of all the trouble have been
very frequent. One general practitioner
has had 48 such cases within a year.
Speaking in the light of recent re-
search, it seems safe to say that appen-
dicitis is far more preVal’ent than con-
sumption, and in just that propertion
causes more deaths, the chief, difference
being that the cause or seat of appendici-
tis niAy be removed bodily with success ‘
in inost cases, and success means restor-
ation to perfect health.“ _ ,
The removal of the vermiform appen-
dixin file earlystages of an attackof
appendicitis is now held to be one of the
safest of. surgical operations, while such
an operation, when the case has come to
w
.7 near its last and fatal stage, is one of the
most desperate. The sad case of SenatOr
Hagan is one in point. He had long de-
sired an operation, but it had been de-
layed until too late for an assuredsuc-
oess. .
And now, after all these facts are‘re-
cited, recurs the question of whether the
coming man will have a vermiform ap-.
i pendix. It-is not meant by this to in-
: quire whether the comingmanwill have
' his appendix slain lost it, slay him. A
much wider question is indicated. . The
number of appendixes removed . in this
city since the discovery that such an op-
eration could be safely performed is very
: great, all things considered. One gen-
eral practitioner, not a. surgical special-
~ ist, told the representative of The World
, that he had removed 100 appendixes in
two years: Possibly 1,000 appendixes
have been removed since the first opera-
tion of this sort in 1888, and most of
these in the past threeyears.
