A CONTEST PROBABLE.

Andrew T. Peck. the Murdered Man,
 Leaves Property Valued At S3O,OOO
 Each Relative Wants All the mon-
 ey and a Lively Time Anticipated.
 The personal estate of Andrew J. Peck, the Nevtovn farmer who was shot down in
 his own doorway by an unknown assassin
 several weeks ago, will be sold at auction to-
 day by Deputy Sheriff Glover, administrator
 on the estate. There promises to be an in-
 teresting contest over the disposition of the estate left by the murdered man, whose property is estimated at between $20,Ooo and $3e, 1000. Peck's daughter by his di- vorced wife has come on from western New York to look after her interests. She is the sole heir outside of such dover rights as the divorced Mrs. Peck may possess. Peck has a brother living in Iowa, however, and it is said that he will dispute the legal right of l the daugter to inherit on the ground that she was not born in wedlock. Mrs. Peck has al- so given indications of purpose to contest the divorce obtained by her husband, her claim being that the divorce is a utility by reason of the fact that she received no notice of the proceedings against her. A Dr. Peck, l who is a son of the mans half brother, ap- pears to take good deal of interest in the situation, and the general impression is that he represents the brother in Iowa, as he pos- ] sesses no inheritance rights of his own. As \ far as is known, no progress has been made by the authorities in clearing up the mys- | tery of the murder. Stoeffel remains in jail, | but it is said that such scraps of new evi- dence as have been gathered in the case tend rather towards the theory of his innocence than of his guilt.

DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY.

 Delightful Evenfng-OhamPI0 PI0nship
 Contests and Their WfnnerG-Musfe
 and Songs.
 The young ladies of the Daughters of Lib- erty council, whose rooms are in the COURIER building, held delightful entertainment last evening. Championship bean bag and puss- in-the- corner contests were carried on with great ardor and the young ladies displayed most skillful and scientific mastery of these difficult games. The bean bag championship was won by No. with 1885 put ins, and No. came next with IT'S. The scientific puss-in-the-corner contest was won by Miss Ida Waters, of Fair Haven. She knows how te slip into corner in prettier way than anyone else among the Daughters. The games were very lively and were relished by many even more than the ice cream and cake which the ladies afterwards passed around. Music and songs also helped the evening along and made it one of the pleasantest ever given by the Daughters.

THE PROHIBITION TENT.
A SeuabbIe Tn Hartford About the Us,
 0f a Park

SeuabbIe In Hartford About the Use
 of Park.
 The Prohibition tent has arrived at Tunnel Park, Hartford, and was put up yesterday afternoon for meetings.
 An unusually active interest has been taken in the location of this tent by residents in that section of Hartford, and at the last meeting of the common council a plenti- fully signed remonstrance against the erection of g "vender's exhibition tent on Tunnel Park, was handed in. Now, if there is any name which Prohibitionists decline to assume it is that of "vender," for the effects of an ironical use of that term are not agreeable to total abstinence people. The management of these meetings believe that the remon- strants were acquainted with the real object of the present use of the park, and therefore they are not pleased with the efforts to enlist municipal aid toward preventing the meetings.
 The management received permission to erect the tent from the superintendent of the New England railroad (the railroad company owning the park, and were firm in their de- termination to go on and hold meetings there.

At Lake Whitney Yesterday After
 NO0n-The Winners.
 A double scull race took place at Lake Whitney yesterday afternoon between AL fred Ellison and John Hanley, in the employ of Mcintyre, Mcguire & Co.,, on one side, ,and Wallace ". Sperry and Thomas Harrison, bartender at the Mahogany palace, on the ether. The first two won by four lengths. The course was two miles straightaway. The gentlemen had been in training for some time and are we'll developed athletes. The betting was slightly in favor of the winning pair and good deal of money was put up. 1t was a fair race from the start. The time of both boats was very good, but the win ming boat had the upper hand from the start.
 Ellison and Hanley pulled 8 short, quick stroke, while Sperry and Harrison, on the contrary, pulled a long, sweeping one, very much in the famous Bob Cook style. The two losing oarsmen will set up their friends to rousing supper at Traeger's before long, where high spirits and many mental fire : works will go off very fast.

More Trouble at inc Circus.

The Delevan circus, which is exhibiting on Grand avenue, Fair Haven, is in more trou~ ble. Real Estate Agent Hoadley rented the lot to the circus proprietors, but the rent was not paid and so Special Officer Munson and Constable Andrew had to make visit to the grounds before the bill was paid. It seems that the circus men infringed on the Maltby estate without knowing and had to pay $15 for that. Another workman yesterday con sulted a lawyer about collecting his wages.
