Judges Wash Their Hands
Of the Whole Affair.
HOW THE TROUBLE AROSE.
The House, Senate and Governor Still
at Loggerheads.

The Supreme Court today rendered Its
decision on the Newport muddle.
While 1t is practically against the DEM
ocrats, prominent member of that party
said this afternoon that 1t was fair one.
The decision Is that each branch of the
General Assembly was independent of
the other, and that the Supreme Court
had nothing to do with the Governor, nor
his excellency with the Supreme Court.
The trouble came about In this way:
After the house unseated two members
the Senate refused to meet In grand COM
mittee.
Then came the governors proclamation
announcing that, as the Senate and House
were unable to agree upon the question OF
adjournment, he declared the General As
sembly adjourned until the last Tuesday
I'm January, 1894.
The house hearing the proclamation,
onofficially took a recess for an hour Just
as 1t reached the Speakers desk. Upon
their reassembling, IL was at once seen
that the Republican members had retired
from the building but the Democrats pro-
ceeded.
They adopted last years rules with
slight alterations and adopted a resolu-
tion requesting the judges Of the Supreme
Court to render a decision on the follow
ing:
First-Can the Senate at May session
adjourn for longer than two days before
joining the House I'm grand committee for
the counting and declaring OF the vote
cast for general officers, the Senate hav-
ing asked the House to join It?
Second-Is the refusal OF the House to
concur In joint resolution of adjourn
ment before the meeting of the grand
committee failure to agree as to ad-
journnent, such as would warrant the
governor adjourning the General AS
sembly.
Third-Can the General Assembly at its
May session be adjourned before going
into grand committee for counting and
declaring the votes, etc.,
An adjournment was then taken until
the next Monday without even the read
ing of the Governors proclamation.
Great care was taken in having
the audience fully understand
that their adjournment was the
Only Legal One,
need not visit Newport again at present,
as the Newport members would meet and
finding no quorum would adjourn, so
continuing until the courts decision was
reached.

Awm Contest.
The will of Mrs. Deborah Convery pro-
vides that the entire estate, after paying
all debts and funeral expenses, shall be
divided equally between the five children
of Mr.. Giblin. As the estate Is valued at
less than 5000, the amount which each
child will receive will not be large.
Small as the estate is, however, there is
likely to be some trouble before the chill
dren get their money, as Mrs. stephen
Silver, daughter of Mrs. Convery,
threatens to appeal from the decree of the
Probate Court to the Supreme Court to
have the will set aside on the ground
that her mother was not in fit to condi-
tion to make will.
Ex-Town Clerk Kinion of Cumberland
wrote the instrument and II was witness
sed by William McCusker and Patrick
Keane. IL is claimed by Mrs. Silver, who
made the statement in open court, that
at the time the will was executed Mrs.
Convery was under the influence of IL
quor and was incapable of performing
any act requiring calm and unprepudiced
reason.
The hearing In court was marked by
several Woruy passages between MIS-.
Silver and Mr.. Giblin concerning the
manner In which Mrs. Convery had been
treated by Giblin during the sickness
that ended in her death.
The matter is attracting considerable at
tention In this village where all the par
ties concerned are we'll known. There are
many who sympathize with Mrs. Silver
and believe that her mother acted un fair
ly toward her, Willingly or unwittingly.

Ietlow of the new village, who died on

VALLEY FALLS.

The Town House site matter continues
to be the principal topic OF interest here
and the rather tart discussion of the mat
ter at the Town Council meeting on Mon
day has furnished the gossips with q
gratifying morsel.
Certain members of the Council seem
not to be In favor of the site selected by
the committee, and as Town Treasurer
Taft's action In asking the Councils ap-
proval before paying the price, 5000, for
the land gave these Councilmen an op-
portunity to show their displeasure, they
were not slow in putting, so far as they
could, barrier In the way of speedy set
tlement of the matter.
IL Is likely that the committee will act
Independently of the Council, in view Of
that body's action, and will assume the
entire responsibility for an immediate
purchase of the land.

Thursday evening the employees OF the
Benedict House and few others paid
surprise visit to Mrs. Frank Donath at
her Summer cottage at Pleasant Bluff, the
occasion being her birthday. There were
about 80 In the party and they went down
In moving wagon. The evening was
spent In n most enjoyable manner, dancing
singing and other amusements occupying
their time. The success of the affair is
largely due to Henry Krahl the manager
Of the hotel, and Hans Lang the chef. A
pretty feature OF the affair was the pres
entation OF a large basket of flowers to
Mr.. and Mrs. Donath by the employees.
