Thomas sayers Instantly Killed While
 On His way From Wolcots tO Iris
 City.
 Thomas Sayers, who has been work ing in Wolcott for some time, while on his way to this clty to see friends, met with terrible death just this side of WateryiIIe on the New York & New England railroad, last evening at 7:30 o'clock. A fast freight, due in this city about 2 o'clock, had rounded curve when the engineer saw a man walking on the track ahead. He whistled but the man did not appear to notice it, and the train passed over him, killing him instantly, it is thought, as life was wholly extinct when the train hands got back to the place where he was run over.
 Medical Examiner North viewed the remains at the station. Both legs were badly crushed below the knees and the skull was fractured.
 The unfortunate man was 8 son of the late Thomas F. Savers and his mother still lives at 78 Wall street. Three brothers of the deceased, Robert, Michael J. and John W. Savers, and three sisters, Mrs Dennis M. Havican, Mrs James Duffy and Mrs Charles Mail lard still live in Waterbury. The re- mains were removed to the family resi-. dence and the funeral will take place to the Sacred Heart church to-morrow morning, where 8 requiem high mass will be sung at 9 o'clock.

THE coYLE ESTATE.
Lawyer Donahue Not satisfied With the
 Recent Decision.


 In the superior court yesterday at New Haven, Judge Hall rendered a de- cisioD sustaining the demurrer to Thomas Donahue's> appeal from the commissioners report upon the estate of Patrick Coyle, late of Waterbury. Don- ahue claims ST 1000, which he says was promised to him by Coyle, but the be- quest was not recorded in the will. This, he claims, was for legal services rendered. The commissioners refused to consider his case and he appealed as above.
 It seems the decision of Lawyer Thomas Donahue's appeal from the commissioners on Patrick Coyle's estate, does not go to the merits of the case. MT Donahue's claim is that in 1882 Patrick Coyle said to him Oonahue) that he would give him a deed of the place in which he resided if he would transact his law business thereafter. Donahue claims that he did transact all of Coyle's business thereafter, which he required him to do. Coyle instead of deeding the place to Donahue's wife. but before con. veying it placed a mortgage on il of $5,OOO, though it is admitted that Coyle subsequently paid this mort. gage. Lawyer Donahue claims that conveying the property to his wife was not fulfilling the agreement and al. though MT Coyle may have thought he had morally fulfilled the contract, yet that neither in law nor in morals was this performance of what was agreed Mir Coyle's contract to convey was not in writing and the lawyers for the estate claim that an agreement to convey real estate, unless in writing, is void, and the court in its decision yesterday sustained this claim Lawyer Donahue will now amend his claim, that he has worked and labored for MT Coyle sufficient to receive the amount of his claim, and in this form the suit will, no doubt, be prosecuted tc it's final termination.

The NOrwaIk Sage Wants a Contest

 Writing under date of May IS, to the New Haven Palladium, Weather Prophet Vaughan of Norwalk says:
 GA great storm is to occur very soon. it will be the great storm of 1899. Will Observer Cox find out where and when this storm is to occur, and give warning so as to prevent a serious calamity? will give him ten days to find out, and if not predicted at the end of that time, I will predict the storm myself" "''
 Sergeant Cox did not appear at all alarmed when MT Vaughan's note was handed to him. He read it with smiling interest, and said: s'The officers of the United States weather depart. ment often hear of such men as James J. Vaughan and Horace Johnson These so-called weather prophets are like the old astrologers, the ancient star readers. I suppose they can't help theil thirst for notoriety.
 "This Vaugan of Norwalk with gra cious condescension gives me ten days to predict that storm. the greatest ir through this broad land. We'll, all have to say is that no officer of z United States weather bureau is able tC forecast more than three days ahead generally not more than two days. Il Vaughan can tell the weather twC weeks ahead he must be a wonder.
 "The fact is, the so-called prediction of these weather prophets are flat fail ures in nine cases out of ten. In thu remaining case the result is a mere co incidence"

ROCKVILLE, May 17.-Mayor McNer- ney presented a message to the city after he would not preside over their meetings, or take any part in their de Alterations. This act is caused by the deadlock which exists between the mayor and both branches of the city government, in regard to the appoint. ment of a superintendent of public works and has continued since the be- ginning of the year. The mayor has not received the support of his own party, the democrats, and will not pre- side at their meetings, so that it cannot be alleged that he forms stumbling block to clog the wheels of municipal legislation.
