CONTEST OVER A -WILL.
Arguments SVere : Heard In Trobate
, Court This Morning.
A -will was filed in the probate court
this forenoon which occasioned a great
deal of contention between Attorney
Cole of this city and Attorney O' Con
ner of New Haven. The latter repre
sented the Farmers' Loan and Trust
company of New York and incidental
ly the will in question which he pur
ported to he the last will and testa
ment of the late Edward !S. Smith,
a member of the button manufactur
ing company of Smith & Griggs in
Simousville. In view of their having
been a will which was said to be the
last will of Mr Smith probated some
time ago the introduction of this sec
ond document occasioned much .sur
prise and opposition between the law
yers named.
This will is dated December 21, 1.S01,
ami provides that the .deceased's
Widow, Francis J. Smith, shall get all
of his estate that she is entitled to
under the laws of the state. All the
rest is left to Augustus II. Feim of
Winchester, in trust for Miss Janet
Smith, deceased's daughter, to man
age until she becomes 21 years of age,
when the estate shall be given over
to her and her heirs. The witnesses to
the Will Were 1. 1'. Webster. N. II.
Brouson and Cenrge K. Terry. On
November li. VS!i7. a collide was add
ed to the will and it states that, in
onsequetice of the deatli of Mr Feim
bove named, he named the Farmers'
'Trust and Loan company in his place
as executor and gave to that concern
all the responsibilities that he had
placed in Mr I'eim. lie also extend
ed the time when the property should
be handed over to his daughter four
years, so that she should lie twenty
live years before she could enter into
possession of it. The witnesses to tins
document were men well Known in
Iev Haven, and throughout the state,
in fai t: A. lleaton Koberlsun of Meri
len railroad fame: Lvnile Harrison,
and Paul W. Harrison.
Attorney 'oie opposed the appoint
ing of the Farmers' Loan aud Trust
company as executor on the grounds
thai the concern was a foreign one in
this state and would squander the
property and couht not be appointed
therefore under the law. The hearing
was continued to January 2. In the
will first probated the widow was
nominated as executrix.
11KL1" THE FOOll.
Many Needy Cases Come to tl
Atten-
tion of the Selectmen.
Tlie selectmen were busy the past
week endeavoring to meet the de
mands of those wiio called upon them
for something to help them make up
a decent Christmas dinner for them
selves and those who are looking to
them for their bread. Most of the
callers were ivoimn who were slant
for various reasons, their husbands had
not worked in a long time, some of
them had no one to provide for the
home but themselves, the demon of
discord having set the heads of the
families apart, while others were en
gaged in a struggle to keep house and
control a man possessed of an insa
liable thirst for liquor. Of course, the
evidence is all one-sided, and whether
they mean it or not. they say some
lerrible mean things about the men
folks, many of whom not only refuse
to work, but come home drunk and
raise Cain in the presence of the little
ones. One little woman told a sad
tale of woe in ih lobby of City hall
this morning. She said there was not
a bite in the house that one could eat.
nor a cent of money anywhere that
she could call her own. She displayed
a hand and arm that had boon severe
ly scalded and stated that had it not
been for that she Av.ould earn enough
to meet the wants of her house for the
Christmas time without looking for
charity from the town or anybody
else. Tlie woman's horny hands
Fhowed unmistakable evidence that she
had been earning her bread by the
sweat of her brow, and as she wiped
her eyes in her apron and limped away
she was lame one could not help
bring reminded of the old saying: ''One
half tlie world does not know how the
other half lives." And, after all. the
wants of these people are not many.
No doubt a couple of dollars worth of
goods would suffice for the present.
Imt the trouble with these cases that
spring up suddenly is due entirely to
the fact that there are so many frauds,
so that in order to guard against im
position every rase has to be investi
gated before relief is given.
DEATH OF MULHALL.
The Great Irish Catholic Journalist
and Statistician Fassos Away.
A cable dispatch from Dublin on
Thursday, December 13. announced the
death there of the distinguished Irish
Catholic statistician and .journalist, Mi
chael G. Mulhall. Hp was born in(
Ttoseonimontown, County ltoscommon,
Ireland, in 1K.".i. and was -educated at
the Irish college in Koine. For many
years he lived in the Argentine Repub
lic, where he was engaged in journal
ism. The Biuuos Ay res Standard, the
first English daily pa per printed in
South America, was founded in lSlil
by Mr Mulhall. He afterward re
turned to Ireland. Since 1N.80 he con
tributed articles on scientilic and sta
tistical subjects to various Irish.
American and English magazines and
newspapers.
Mulhall's first important work, pub
lished in 1SS0. was entitled. "The Pro
gress of the World." His greatest
work, the '-Dictionnrv of Statistics,"
was published in 1.S8C, and has gone
through many editions. It is regard
ed as the best work on the subject pub
lished. One of Mr Mullwll's latest
performances was a paper on the pro
gress of the Catholic church in the Inst
half of the nineteenth century, which
. was read at the recent Catholic con
gress in Australia and published a
few weeks ago in the Irish World. Not
long ago he made a remarkable pre
diction about the United States cen
sus. Writing in the North American
Review last July he said tliah the fig
ures would le 7G.20.000 a "Statistical
Abstract," having forecasted it at 77.
500,000. The result of the actual count
has been 7C.20o.OfiO. onlv a trifle-comparatively
above Mulhall's estimate. .

Invasion
LONDON, Dec. 24. Lord Kitchener's
dispatches, breathing a confidence hardly
justified by their contents, are almost
the only available news from the seat of
hostilities in South Africa, but telegrams
frcm Cape Town depict the situation in
anything but roseate views.
Without helieviug the assertion of the
Transvaal agency in Brussels that 0,000
Boers have invaded Cape Colony, it is
quite evident that the invasion was a se
rious and well planned affair.
The Cape Colony cabinet had an im
portant sitting yesterday. It appears that
the Boers have destroyed a railway
bridge 90 feet long about 12 miles south
of JJe Aar and that no Cape mails have
arrived at Bloemfontein for three days.
Further anxiety has been caused in
Cape Town by the discovery that during
the last two months public bodies in out
of the way places have requisitioned sup
plies of dynamite. The colonial govern
ment is now endeavoring to recover pos
session of these explosives and is remov
ing all stores of arms and ammunition
from suspected depots.
Other advices from Cape Town repre
sent the Dutch clement in Cape Colony
as greatly elated over the southward
progress of the Boors and as boasting
that the whole distiict of Victoria West
will join the raiders. It is suspected in
Cape Town that the force traveling from
Zoutpau's drift is not a body of Boyrs,
but one of Colonials hastening to join the
Invaders.
The I'ietertnaritzhnrg correspondent of
The Daily Mail says:
The Boers are active between Johan
nesburg and Pretoria, exchanging shots
with the British outposts, and it is re
ported that parties of Boers are hovering
around Johannesburg."
The war oliice has received the follow
ing dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated
Pretoria, Dec. 22:
"So far as it is possible for me to form
an opinion from the reports of officers on
the spot, I think the Boer movement into
Capo Colony lias been chocked. Of the
two forces that entered the colony, the
eastern is still north of the Zoutpausberg
range, while the one that entered west
appears 'to have been tin nod in the direc
tion of Britstowu and Prieska. Our
troops are getting arotiud both bodies,
and a special column is also being or
ganized winch will be dispatched imme
diately when I know where its services
are most wanted.
"The Boers here have not received
much assistance in Cap;' Colony, so far
as my informal ion goes. AVe have armed
some of the colonists, who are assisting
our forces. Bailway and telegraph com
munication has been much interrupted
by the very bad weather.
"Do Yi'et is in the neighborhood of
Sonokal. ('cneral French, in conjunction
wi'.h ('cneral Clements, attacked a force
under Beyers south of the Magaliosberg.
The Boers broke away in a southwester
ly direction toward Potchefstroom and
were followed by (.'cneral Cordon with a
column of French's force.
"Yesterday evening about 5 o'clock
Clements' force was engaged south of
Oliphant's nek, but I do not yet know
the result."
A later dispatch from Lord Kitchener,
dated Pretoria, Dec. 22, says:
"The western column of Boers occu
pied Britstown umlYut the railway south
of Do Aar Junction. The enemy is be
ing followed up."
The Curtnliy Case.
OMAHA, Dec. 24. The mysterious
"dark" man in the Cudahy kidnaping
case was arrested yesterday afternoon by
the police from the description given liy
Miss Maud Munshaw, who lives near the
house in which Eddie Cudahy was held
for ransom hy his abductors. His name
is Ed Johnson. He is a laborer in the
Cudahy packing plant and resides at
Twenty-sixth aud Walnut streets. He
admitted having gone out to the Grover
street house throe times for 1ho purpose
of renting the building, which he 'found
already let to the "light"' man and his
accomplices. Johnson was easily able to
prove to the satisfaction of the police and
Mr. Cudahy, who was called in, that he
tiad nothing to do with the case and was
allowed to return to his wife and family.
In the meantime the city is being dili
gently scoured for any sign of the other
men described by persons living in the
vicinity of the abductor's prison house.
Governor Tanner Pardons Fnrlone.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24. Former Police
man Patrick Furlong, who in February,
I'JOU, killed Edward Leach, a brother of
ficer, and was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for 14 years, has been pardoned
by Governor Tanner and will take his
Christmas dinner with his family in Chi
cago. Furlong, who is of Irish parentage,
and Leach, an Englishman, became in
volved in an argument about the Boer
war. Leach's declaration that England
could whip any country on earth led to
blows, aud tioth men drew revolvers.
Furlong shot first, with fatal effect.
Crazy Man Shoots Two.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24. John Galle
tus, a Brooklyn mechanic who has re
cently shown evidences of insanity, he
came violent in his home and, taking a
revolver, ran out of his house. At the
time Nathan Ruth, 9 years old, and Law
rence Kelley. a man, were passing. Gal
letus without warning tired at both of
them. Ruth was shot under the right
eye and Kelley in the breast. The boy
may die, but the man is not seriously in
jured. Germany "Wants Her Pay First.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 24. The
expected imperial irade authorizing the
signature of the contract for the con
struction of a cruiser for the Ottoman
navy by the Cramp Shipbuilding com
pany, together with the initial deposit of
100,000, has not yet been issued. It ap
pears that the Germun embassy has pro
tested to the porte against the payment
to the Cramps before the amount owing
to Herr Krupp for naval guns has been
paid.
Troops Home For Christmas.
HALIFAX, Dec. 24. The steamer
Lake Champlain, having on hoard Colo
nel Otter aud 350 Canadian troops re
turning from South Africa, arrived from
Liverpool and disembarked here. The

The time saved by the change will en

Christmas. '
A Japanese Minister Resigns.
YOKOHAMA, Dec. 24. Hoshi Torn,
-minister of communications and formerly
