Court OfCommon PIeas-Cr1m1naI Side
 Judge DemIng.
 The jury yesterday in the case of the State vs. Morris Alderman could not agree and were discharged. Alderman was married in Russia, but claimed to have got divorce. He cs ae to this country and married again. His first wife came to NewHaven and brought suit for non-support. In the City court Judge Thompson put him under bonds to support the first wife and he appealed. The disagreement of the jury yesterday is practi cally a victory for the State, as the case stands just the same as before the trial WAS had, and Alderman must now support his first wife until the courts recognize his Rus- sian "ghet" or divorce. The jury was out three hours and stood six to six. The trial will cost the State about S1 1000.
 Probate COurt-Judge Robertson.
 The will of the late Mary Heppel, the un- fortunate old woman who was burned to death December 24, was admitted to probate by Judge Robertson yesterday morning. Sarah Meeks is sole beneficiary under the will. She WAS represented by Attorney Good hart. The contestants were represented by Greene Kendrick.
 The MunsOn Will.
 The famous Hannah Aunson will case is to be amicably settled. Attorney James A. Wood yesterday took out administration papers. Before the war Mrs. Munson had Attorney Wood make out will in favor of her hus- band, William Nunson. Afterward MT. and Mrs. Munson had falling out. Aunson had quite long police record and was continu- ally getting drunk. Mrs. Munson sued for and obtained a divorce, but later they were re- married. William reformed and was good husband. After this marriage Mrs. Munson made second will leaving all her property to her two sons, William H. and Whitney c. Munson. When she died both wills came up in court. Judge Robertson threw the first will out, claiming the divorce invaliaated it, and he would not admit the second one to probate on the ground that Mrs. Munson when she made it was not of sound mind. The heirs went to the higher courts. It was not long before the husband married his daughter-in-law, the widow of one of the sons. Attorney Wood saw that if the fight continued there would be no estate to divide, so he arranged settlement. The property will go to the husband and at his death to the sons.

WAsnISGroS, June 3.
After reaching the highest mark on record
yesterday afternoon, the Potomac began to
fall rapidly. This morning the streets of
South Washington are free from water. All
along the river front the water has gradually
receded throughout the day, bringing the
wharves to view. Hundreds of fish left be-
hind by the stream, were caught with the
hands by boys and men. The fish commits

million of young shad about two inches
long were set at liberty by the food. Sew
eral schooners and large boats were left high
and dry some distance away from the bed of
the river, and will have to be hauled out into
the stream.
There has been sufficient recession of
the flood to permit partial examination of
the Potomac fiat. and Col. lIaines, the en-
gineer in charge says that the damage will
be much less than anticipated.
Some fears were expressed that the foun-
daton of the Washington monument might
have been seriously damaged, although the :
are believed to be wholly groun Hess. A
careful examination will be made.
The long bridge remained intact until
about two O'Clock this afternoon, when one
