pOWNEYs CLAIM DISALLOWEO.

Asked For SIO,OOO For Settling the Coylc
 Estate, Received S3 ,OOO-Judge PheIan's
 Decision Upheld.
 Judge Fenn this morning rendered his decision in the Coyle estate case. The arguments were made yesterday afternoon by Attorneys John O'Neill and S. w. Kellogg for the administra- tor, John w. Alling of New Haven and Judge Cowell for the heirs of the COyle estate. Attorney filings argument was a scathing one, as was his cross affirmed the ruling of Judge Phelan in the probate court on the distribution of the property, and approved of the ad- ministration account as presented, with the exception of the bill of the admins trator. He said that taking all the facts in the case into consideration he thought that $3,O00 was a sufficient amount for the services rendered.
 It is due to Judge Phelan to say that the account of c. F. Downey, as ad- ministrator of the estate, was accepted bv the probate court in order that an | appeal therefrom might be taken forth with to the superior court, Messrs l Cowell and Cole. attorneys for Hugh | Coyle and Mrs Reilly being present, and | cOnsCnting to this arrangement, which saved time and expense, it being the l wish of all that the matter Of DOwneY s services should he adiudicated bv the superior court. There was no evidence before the probate court of the value of l Downey's services, and the acceptance of the account was a mere matter of form. in order that it might be passed upon by the superior court. The pro bate judge distinctly stated at the time he would not allow the sum asked for by Downey, but permitted the account to be accepted for the purpose of getting it before the superior court, as above.
 Judge Fenn also rendered his decision in the appeal from probate of Thomas, Bernard and Patrick Reilly, who claim ed to be heirs of Patrick Coyle. In the trial of the case yesterday it was brought out that Mary Reilly, sister of Patrick Coyle lives in Ireland and has never been in this country. The only evidence in troduced to quash the appeal and virtu- ally settle the standing of the appel lants, was the law which reads that in heritence can not come through an alien. As Mary Reilly was never in this country, under the law her children had no claim upon the estate. Judge Cowell.
 who appeared for the appellants, said he thought he could find some law which might "squint'' at their right to inherit,
 but he had not looked it up. Judge
 Fenn reserved his decision until this
 morning, for that reason. His decision
 was the approval of the probate courts ruling that the petitioners were not en
 titled to share in the property.

Patrick O'NeiI Killed by Train at
 Windsor Locks.
 As the Suffield train was approaching Windsor Locks yesterday afternoon, Engineer Riggs saw two men on the track, walking towards the station. He blew the whistle, but as the way freight train was switching a car nearby. the men evidently thought the whistles were signals for the trainmen and did not get off the track. The engine struck them both. They were John Connors and Patrick O'Neil, who lived in Wind Sor Locks and work in a section gang under John Moriarty. O'Neil was thrown a considerable distance, and when picked up was found to have his head badly crushed and other injuries. He lived but short time. Conn0r had his left foot and leg crushed.

The employees were panic stricken and one hostler ran to the police station and called out the fire department. Fortu- nately the men were III the buSlneSS room in the main building and escaped injury. The sleighs were kept in the main building all summer, but were moved yesterday and are now a total wreck.

He estimates his loss at fully SS,0CO.

ANOTHER CONTESTED ELECTION
William R. Mattison May Be Kept Out
 of the Office Of City Clerk.

or the Ottlce or Clty Clerk'
 Attorney l.. F. Burpee, on behalf of w. R. Mattison, made application to Judge Fenn of the superior court late yesterday afternoon for hearing to show why w. R. Mattison should not be declared legally elected clerk of the city of Waterbury. Judge Fenn is asked in the application to examine and count the ballots and declare who has been elected city clerk. The reasons alleged for bringing such application are that there are doubts whether John B. Wells, the moderator of the third voting district, and therefore presiding officer of the city election, declared, as he should, that Mir Mattison had been elected city clerk: also as to whether Mir Wells signed the vouchers. The re publicans fear future litigation and complication, hence this move. The application was granted hv Judge Fenn, and next Monday at 3:30 p. m. in the district court room the hearing will be given. Copies were served on City clerk Kilduff, and John S. Neagle, the democratic candidate for the office, in opposition to Mir Madison.

"A Nutmeg Match. "

''Nutmeg Match" will be produced at the opera house this evening. It is re plete with humor, powerfully contrasted with the emotional scenes of love and revenge, and sweetly tempered with mercy and justice. In stage realism 1t goes further then the most sensational dramas of modern origin. As a whole "A Nutmeg Match" is likely to please a wide range of theatrical tastes and carve out for itself liberal constituency.

Death OF DR.. Munford

The following editorial notice is taken
from the Memphis TENN AppeaI-AUd-
Ldnche:
Any mau who travels through the west
cannot fail to observe the superior energy
which marks the people of Kansas City.
Not only are the people alert and busy, but
the city bears all the evidences OF an in
telligent public spirit. There are five hotels
and theaters and thousands of nomely
homes The streets are filled with bustling
people. There is the hum of progress on
every hand. The commercial travellers
used to say that so progressive were the
people Of Kansas City that one could
hear the place growing in the quiet of the
early morning hours. Yet much of the
prosperity of this thriving western commu-
nifty was due to the foresight aud restless
energy of one man, DIR. Morrison Munford,
Tennesseean by birth. Thousands of old
friends in Tennessee remember him as
youth of 10 who left school to join the con-
federate army. serving with honor in Com
pany c., Ninth Tennessee infantry, and
winning a reputation for bravery that was
the envy of many an older comrade. 1t
was DIR. Munford that placed the Kansas
City Times on its feet and gave through its
columns such an impetus to the develop
ment Of Kansas City. His talents for
organization gave momentum and
power to the boom that raised Kansas
City from an almost unknown place to one
of the most prominent cities in the west. 1t
was DIR. Munford who first saw the posi-
bilities in Oklahoma, and who for fifteen
years Iabored to have that territory opened
to the agencies Of civilization. DIR. Nun
ford was only so years of age when death
came on Sunday evening and took him
away from life in the very plentitude Of his
powers. 1t will be hard to fill his place in
Kansas City. The paper that he
did so much to create passed from
his control but a short time since, and it
is thought that this loss may have fastened
his death. 1t seems to us, however, that
the memory of man like this will always
be kept green in the city which he did so
much to advance; and it is a source of
qualification to Tennessee that one Of her
sons took such prominent part in the de-
velopment OF Kansas City, and that his
name will be entwined forever about the
early history of that stirring community.
Dr. Munford was well known in Savan-
nah, and is a brother Of Mr.. R. D. Munford
Of this city.

wagon behind the balky horse, and when
the horse was persuaded 10 go he started
with a surge throwing the professor head

chairs out with him. The horse was stopped
to ascertain the damage done to the profess
or he quickly mounted the wagon again and
was cautioned by several bystanders TO be-
ware Of the next start. The word was
given, the horse made a surge forward and
the professor came out with same results
as above mentioned again, bringing chairs
from the wagon and cheers from the crowd
that witnessed the proceedings. The pro-
fessors activity caused no little amusement,
for the crowds enjoyed his activity very
