Efforts OF Attorney Spier to Over.
come an Unfortunate Chain of Cir
cumstances.
A story that sounds like one of Wilkie
Collins fictions was connected with leg
acy of 5000 which was paid over to Mrs.
Adam Smith of this city yesterday. It
seems that she and her husband had been
married hurriedly before coming to this
country. On their arrival in this city
Smith had his pocket picked and the mar
riage certificate taken along with the pock-
etbook. He entered the army and died
afterward from exposure and the effects of
injuries incurred in the service, leaving q
wife and seven children.
Recently Smiths brother died, and,
thinking he was alive, left him legacy.
Attorney Spier attempted to get the be.
quest for the wife and family. It was
then found that the minister had neglected
to make record of the marriage in the
church registry. Mr.. Spier, however, pro
duced afidavits to the effect that Adam
Smith and his wife had always been re-
garded as legally married and in addition
that the government of the United Statel
had regarded them as such in granting
pension to Mrs. Smith. AS a result tn,
| amount of the legacy was forwarded ant

HYPERION THEATKR.
A fair sized audience witnessed the pro-
duction of "Unole Hiram" ct the Hyperion
theater last evening. Aaron q. Woodruff
as Hiram Homespun was the principal in
tho play, and his imitation of the New
England farmer was good. Miss Troja
Griswold sustained her part in three char
acters, viz, Bella, Wittis Dot and Katarina
Won Blumenberger quite aceeptably. Her
special songs created the best applause.
Outside of the interest created by the two
leading characters the play was decidedly
uninteresting-the rest Of the cast being
hardly better than amateurs-and the play
itself lacked about everything essential to
the successful production of piece of
this character.
Manager Bunnell is to be congratulated
upon the orchestra which furnishes the
music at the Hyperion this season. Leader
Fichtl has gotten together remarkably
strong array Of musicians, and the class

New Haven Business Men-Leases
the West Side Club House at savin
Rock.
The old West Side club house at Savin
Rock, on Beach street nearly opposite the
Hinman house, has been leased by twenty
four well known business men of this city,
who have formed club for recreation
purposes.
Friend E. Brooks, the Chapel street hat
ter, and Edgar E. Durant, secretary and
treasurer of the q. F. Warner Manufactlr-
ing company, were the most prominently
identified with the movement. They had
no difficulty in organizing q club, and as
they limited its membership to twenty-four
there were many more men who wished to
join. The membership was limited to this
number because there were just twenty
four lockers in the building.
The officers of the club as 1t now stands
are: President, F. E. Brooks; treasurer, E.
r. Durant; board of managers, Frank h.
Elson, Joel F. Gilbert, John Lindsley.
Some of the members of the club are: w.

Burton Dickerman, Scmuel b. Kirby, An
drew F. Wylie, Fred A. Waterbury, James
r. Lyon, Newton II. Cox, Noble P. Bishop,
Fred w. Watterson and John N. Merwin.
The club has hired man named Barnes to
act as steward.
The members have already enjoyed many
evenings at the club house, but next year
they anticipate having jolly times down
there. Some repairs will undoubtedly be
made early next season.
