Ca'ls for him were sounded on the locomotive whistle and receiving no response the engineer slow- ly backed the train up to the station, a close watch being kept for the missing brakeman. A short distance from the entrance to the tunnel and in the same, the man- gled remains of the missing man were found lying near the tracks. The re- mains were gathered up, placed in a car and taken to South Norwalk. and later transferred to Uundertaker D. W. Raymond’s morgue. Deputy Coroner Burke was sum- moned and found that both of the legs of the poor fellow had been cut off, his body terribly mangled, his head nearly decapitated, and both arms badly cut. The remains were prepared for burial by Mr. Raymond, and this morning were taken to his former home in West Stockbridge, Mass, ‘ Toolan for a long time had been en- gaged as a brakemau, but had been on the run between Pittsfield and Norwalk but about six weeks.': He leaves a wife-and three children.

Adams died at her home on Plymouth avenue, last night, in the 74th year of her age, For a number of years she has acted in the capacity of a nurse for the sick and filled [the position with a skill that made her name a household word Of renewed health and happiness.

In the case; of Charles R. Hoyt vs. Rose Guarnieri, Judge Curtis has given his decision in the Court of Common Pleas. The case is a Norwalk one and is interesting, as the main question in- volved was: Can a'Justice of the Peace give final decison in cases commenced during his term of office, but made re- turnable before him after the said term had expired ? Judge Curtis holds that he cannot and in accordance with such finding gives. the following decision: F‘This is an action scire facias. The defendant was garnisheed in an action begun by said Hoyt vs. William June and when so garnisheed, she was indebt- ed to said June in the sum of 836.25. In her answer the defendant denies that any demand has ever been made upon her for a valid execution ; and in sup- port of her denial, specifically sets forth that A. E- Austin, the magistrate who rendered judgment in the said ac- tion of Hoyt vsfl June. was not, on March 16, 1895, a Justice of the Peace and had no authority to issue an exe- cution as alleged in the complaint. or in fact to render such judgment. “Austin’s term of Office expired March 4, 1895. He was not ‘re-elected. The writ in the action Of said Hoyt vs, June was dated and served Feb. 18, 1895 it was made returnable before said Austin on March 16, 1895. The origi- nal writ was left with Austin before his term Of Office expired. The plaintiff claims that by virtue of Section 671 of the General Statues of 1888, said Austin had jurisdiction to hear such action and tO render final judgment and issue ex- ecution therein. The defendant claims that said section 971 did not give Austin jurisdiction in said cause. And also that if he had jurisdiction to render judgment, he had no authority to issue execution, and in support of that claim cites chapter 37 of the law Of 1889. “I am Of the opinion that Austin had no jurisdiction in the said case of Hovt vs June on March 16, 1895, and that his judgment and the execution are Of no eflect. “Section 671 Of the General Statutes is a provision of law, which first ap- peared in chapter 1410f th-- laws of 1851. It then read as follows: “I‘hat when- ever any Justice of the Peace shall not he re-elccted, all processes, suits and matters whatsoever, which shall have been begun by such Justice Of the Peace, or shall have been made return- able to him before the expiration of his Office, may he proceeded with by said Justice of «a Peace to final judgment and execu u in in the same manner as if said J users a had been re-elected and continued ill office.” “It seems as if the obvious purposes of this act was to permit a Justice to do new business up to the last day‘ of his term and tO continue matters for final action, after his term ended, if desira- ble. If the Legislature had intended to give Justices of the Peace power to hear actions begun during their term, but made returnable after it had ex- pired, they would have clearly ex- pressed such purpose. Under the above Obvious construction the statute reme- died an evil. But there was no evil requiring such a remedy as the forced construction for which the plaintifl'con- tends. Justices were then, as now, elected several months before the term of the prior Justices expired. There Was no time when a writ. could not be made returnable before some Justice during the term for which he was elected. The statute enacted in 1851 continued through the revisions of 1834 and 1866. It received its present form in the revision of 1875. The slight change of language there used was clearly not designed to change the meaning, but was adopted for the sake of brevity. “Judgment for the defendant to re- cover her costs.” Hurlbutt & Gregory appeared for Mrs. Guarnieri. FORO0T T0 RETURN. Yesterday afternoon shortly after three o’clock, a natty young man about thirty years of age, dark complexion, wearing eye glasses and a dark blue overcoat and Derby hat, entered the office of V. A. Scofield’s livery stable at South Norwalk and asked for a turn- out with which to drive his young lady friend over to Westport. Mr. Scofield soon had his best turn- out hitched up and the young man seat- ed himself in the carriage and drove away promisingto return in a short time. As hour" after hour passed and the nice young man failed to return Mr. . Scofield began to get suspicious and re- ported the matter to the police. Mes- sages§were telephoned to all the sur- rounding towns giving a description of the man and turnout but as yet no clue has been obtained. . Late‘last night- Mr. Scofield drove to New Canaan in the rain in! hopes of getting track Of his property but failed to find any trace Of the man or turnout. The horse is a bay, 15—3 hands high, long neck and legs and a wart on off ide of body. The carriage is painted black with end springs, Corning body and running gear. The harness is imitation rubber trimmed. —Subscribe for_tbe ‘,‘Gazette'.” weighs 1,000 pounds, has black points, 7 IS HDDLAGA‘IN. , George Brady, delivery clerk at Fia- ney & Benedicts, who suddenly left town a week ago last ‘ Monday, sur- prised his friends by returning home .on Tuesday evening in as mysterious a manner as he had disappeared. He tells Mr. Finney that on the after- noon he left the store and 'when in front?“ of the residence of Frank Hyatt he ex- perienced a sort of dizzy feeling, and something seemed to draw him down the avenue and up and over the turnpike. He remembers having passed the Ar- mory but is unable to account for his actions thereafter until on Friday he found himself knocking at the door of a farm house about seven miles from White Plains. He was hungry and asked for something to eat. He was invited into the house and ex- plained where he belonged as best he could and was invited to stay all night. He assisted about the place until Mon- day, when the farmer took him to the railroad station and paid his fare part way to Norwalk, and the rest of the distance he Walked. ‘ This story, however, does not coincide with one he has told tO another party to whom he said: “I wanted a vacation . and not thinking that the bosses would give it to me I went 03' on my own hook and visited Croton Falls. When I got ready I came back.” ' There are those who incline ’to the belief that he has been in Norwalk a greater part of the time, and that he and the young man who has been prowling about the fields near Peat Swamp,are identical. woo l8_lll_l_8 MAN? For some days past the attention of people living in the vicinity of Peat SWamp has been attracted to the strange actions Of a man who wanders about the fields in that vicinity and oc- casionally calls at houses and begs for edibles. He is described as being a smooth faced young man cleanly dressed and wearing an ulster coat and- derby hat- Where he remains nights is a question that has not been solved as no evidence of his having slept in barns in that vic- inity is forthcoming. Last Friday gmorning, as early as 5 O’clock, Mrs. Eliza’Rayrnond who lives alone on the Wolfpit hill road was awakened by a knocking at the kitchen door. On gOing to the door she found a man answering the above description who asked for something to eat. Being alone and somewhat frightened she gave him some food. After eating it he reached down in the pocket of his ulster and took out half a dozen silver spoons done up in a napkin and offered to sell them at a low figure. Mrs. Raymond not being in need Of spoons, told him she did care to purchase and the fellow wentpaway, but was seen during the day prowling about the lots in the vicinity of the house. Eirly Saturday morning James H. Beers who lives just off of the Westport road, had his attention attracted by the barking of his dog, and concluded that some stranger was paying a visit to his hen-coop. He hastily got out of bed and dressed himself and just as he had finished and was putting on his hat there was a knock at the door. On opening it Mr. Beers was confronted by a man wearing a heavy ulster. He asked for a cup Of coffee, .and after- wards ofl‘ered the spoons for sale as he had done at Mrs. R u monds. Failing to make a. sale the fellow left. Mr. Beers then went to his barn but found no evidence of its having been visited during the night. A lad informed Mr. Beers that he had met and talked with the fellow, who had told him he had done time in jail, for a robbery committed two years .agO at a store on the Washington street bridge, South Norwalk. He had also showed him the spoons. To=say the least the actions of the fellow are very strange and he has suc- ceeded in creating quite a scare to res-. idents on the line Of the Westport road. It is—hoped that he will apprehended and made to explain his unseemly do- ings. .Oure (or Headache. As a remedy for all forms of headache Electric Bitters has proved to be the very best.

LONDON, Jan. 2.—'1‘ho Cunard line steamship Cephalonia, Captain Soccombe. from Boston Dec. 21 for Liverpool, struck a rock at South Stack, near Holyhead, to- day. Her passengers were at the table at the time, and many of them were thrown from their seats by the shock. Everybody rushed on (their. and the Wild- est excitement prevailed. Captain Seo- combe succeeded in calming the panic stricken passengers and ordered the boats lowered. When the boats Were got into the water, the women were placed in them first and the men afterward. ‘ The boats then put for shore, the cap- tain ordering their crews to return to the ship. The vessel, assisted by the rising tide and her own steam, backed off the rocks, and the passengers, learning that the ship had not bee'n damaged, returned to her, and the Cephalonin proceeded for Liverpool. ‘ Fifteen of the Cephclonia’s passengers landed at Queenstown y csterday. She had a stormy voyage throughout. The Cephalonia after being floated p,ut in for Holyhead, but was finally beached at the upper end of New Harbor to pre- vent sinking. Her after hold is apparent- ly full of water. A thick fog prevailed at the time she struck the rock at South Stack. While she was fast on the rock a lifeboat was sent to her, but it was not needed.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining' of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube get infl- amed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing Will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca- tarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
