WANTS BAIL REDUCED.
Obadiah Smith Thinks $4,000 Too
Much to Paw for His Freedom.

The full bench of the Supreme Court
will tomorrow listen to the petition OF
Obadiah Smith for a reduction of bail
from $4,000 to something within his
limit.
At present the petitioner is occupying a
cell at the Court House, having been ar
rested on Wednesday by Deputy Sheriff
Arnold at the instance of Mrs. Mary
Shaw Smith on writ OF ne exeat, which
means that the writ was sworn out on the
supposition that Obediah Smith was about
TO leave the State.
Mrs. Smith does not intend thet she
shall retire. She has some guarantee
that she will come back.
The whole trouble arose over the will of
the late Mowry Smith, who, at the time
of his death, was variously estimated to
be worth from 500, 900 to 500,
Mowry Smith had the reputation dur
ing his lifetime among mis- fellow towns
men of LIMERICK Of being miser in every
sense of the word and the fact that his
second wife had secured divorce from
him on the ground of non-support did not
help his reputation any in the eyes of
those who knew that he never parted
with nickel until it was an absolute ne
cessity.
In 1886 he married his third wife, Mary
Shaw, who is the aggressor in the present
suit. BY his will Mowry Smith left a
very meagre sum for his wife, and ap-
pointed his cousin. Obediah smith. as ad-
ministrator, giving him the balance of the
property and the wife's also after her
death.
There was no provision in the will for
his giving any bond. Obediah claims that
the property altogether was not worth
$4,000, while Mrs. Smith asserts that it is
much nearer sl50,000, and that he is at
tempting to defraud her Of her just share
of it.
She says that Obadiah who is 60 years
ofd and lives in Hamilton, Ia, came East
last June and remained with her husband
until his death and that at the time Of
drafting the will Obadiah would not al
low her in the room.
The will was admitted to probate in
Smithfield where the parties resided, and
Mrs. Smith having good grounds, as she
thinks, for believing that Obediah was
about To leave the State had the writ Of
ne exeat sworn out and served on him. In
default of the SIS, 900 bond required Obe-
diah was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Ar
mold and locked up and will now try to
have the bail reduced.

CHACE FOUND GUILTY.
End of the Opium Smuggling Trial
in New York To-day.
HIS PLEA AVAlLED NOTHING.
The Court Decides That the Detectives
Need Not show when the Opium was
BroughtInto the Country-Chace May
Serve Years I'm Prison.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Thomas f. Chace,
the aged but well-preserved Providence
merchant who was arrested about four
weeks ago in the Astor House on
"A charge of smuggling opium into
the, country and selling il to the proprie-
tors of New York smoking joints, was
taken to the United States court again
this morning. The hearing in his case,
which has been in progress off and on the
past week, was then resumed.
The prisoner appeared confident that he
would be released. for he relied upon the
claim that his counsel has made all along
that the detectives for the government
must show where the opium that was
found in his trunk came from and that
the proof of smuggling must be absolute.
Chace's counsel held to this point in
summing up, but it was of no avail, and
late this afternoon the judge rendered his
decision against him, and declared his be-
lief that he was guilty of the charge. The
penalty for smuggling opium into the
country is such that Chace may spend
several of his next wears i'm DriSOn.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Chairman Will
liam Brookfield of the State Republican
committee says that call for either the
State committee or the State executive
committee will be issued as soon as it can
be learned by telegraphing upon what
date some of the members could attend.
The attempt of Gov. Hill TO steal the
Legislature, and especially the bold rob
berry in Dutchess county, will receive the
most attention of anything coming before
the committee. In speaking of the matter
Mr. Brook field said
Public opinion is being aroused all
over the State by the barefaced action of
the Democrats in Duchess County. Gov.
Hill is doing his party no good by his ac-
tion and fluid an undercurredt of dissat-
isiaction and Indignation among the bet
ter class of Democrats at the course.
Honest men, no matter of what party, do
not believe in stealing seats 10 which 9TH

IL am sure that I would not lie

publ an wien / knw a Democrat
had be5n ele ted, and We don't propose
that Democrats of Mr.. EIill's class shall

one doubts but that Dean was elected.

A Meeting at the State House to-day to
Consider Tuberculosis.
The State Board of Agricultu met at
the State House to-day. One of the OBJ
jects of calling the board together was to
formulate a plan for making everybody
familiar with the work and for advice on
the matter uppermost in the minds of
those interested in the States agriculture
and tuberculosis among cattle. Another
reason for the meeting was that the
board might get better Interpretation of
the law on this subject.
A committee comprising William Will
ton and George III. Utter of Westerly was
appointed TO draft new bill pertaining to
contagious diseases of animals, to be
presented to the general assembly, which
shall relieve the board of agriculture from
its present predicament, as law on the
matter of quarantined cattle is not specific
enough.
Secretary Collins presented his report,
showing that twelve cattle had been killed
by the board up TO the present time be-
cause of tuberculosis.
IL is the intention of the board to use
every precaution 10 protect the people of
tfie State and give them better knowl-
edge of tuberculosis and its dangers.
Secretary Collins says that while the
board have no certain knowledge yet
there is suspicion that milk OF quaran-
tined cattle has been put on the market
and states further that where there is any
suspicion of tuberculosis the better way is
to boil the milk.
