 Attorney Jason P. Thompson, repre- senting some of the residuary legatees of the estate of Nelson Hotchkiss, who died in 1879 leaving an estate valued at $2OO,0O0, asks for an accounting back to the probating of the will and that a note for $5,O00 against B. c. Beecher be paid the estate by MT. Beecher. The trustees, Dr. L. 6. Hotchkiss, Fitch B. Griswold and D. c. Beecher, object. The case has been continued in the probate court, and briefs will be sub mitted on both these points.

Another Change to be Made.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Mr.. Proctor, president of the civil service commits sion, has had an interview with Secre- tary Carlisle and Assistant Curtis as to extending the civil service rules so as to embrace storekeepers and gaugers and others of the internal revenue bu- reau. It was practically agreed to place storekeepers, gaugersS and all clerks below the position of deputy col- 'lectors in collectors offices within the classified service. It is also probable, though not certain, that the 300 special agents will be placed in the classified service. sl

Sugar Completely Oser.hsdowed the Gen-

Sugar Completely Oyer.hsdowsd the dsn- | erai Market.
 New York. Dec. 6,-over 10000 shares of American Sugar were traded in at the stock exchange to-day in total Of 26s. 800 for the whole list. Sugar 1t will be seen. completely ,overshadowed the general market. and in fact scarcely anything was discussed throughout the session except this stock and Its divi- dend chances. In view of the public utterances of President Havemeyer. and the unprohtable condition of the refining industry. 1t was thought that the directors. as a matter of prudence. would reduce the rate. Therefore. the meeting of the directors which was called for o'clock to-day. was the cen- ter of attraction. and every rumor treating of the deliberations of the managers was eagerly discussed. It was not until after the close of busi- ness. however. that anything definite was known. 1t being officially announc- ed that the directors had decided to declare the regular rate of TX per cent. on the preferred and per cent. on the common stock. Accompanying the an- nouncement was a statement that the payment would be made out of the profits of earnings prior to September 1, 1894.
 Pending the official announcement the stock went through some wild changes. It opened at s61s, against S5A last night, rose to ss%, receded to s7$ and In the last ten minutes on heavy purchases jumped to S9, a net gain of Sx per cent. for the day. The early rise was ascribed to Washington advlces that there will be no "popgun" legisla- tion at this session.
 Chicago Gas was next In point of &C., tivity, and figured for 292OO shares. The stock, after an early rise to 73B, reacted to 71%@72. The railway list was weakened during the morning hour by sales from London accounts, the for eigners being disturbed by the poor traffic accounts of the western roads. The loss at this time ranged from A to 4 per cent, St. Paul leading.
 In the closing hours a better tone prevailed. The report from Washing ton that the chances for the passing of an amendment to the interstate com merce law had improved had no effect on the market for a time, but when Sugar rose to S9 there was more dis position on the part of the shorts to cover, as the congressional action on this point was considered of the great est importance to the railways. Ster- ling exchange continues strong, with rates near the gold exporting point. Money, however, is again showing a declining tendency, both on call and for time accommodations.
 Speculation left off firm. Net gains were x to 3% per cent, Sugar leading. St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Jer- sey Central, Manhattan and Western Union lost A@1S per cent. Starch first preferred dropped to 45.
 The bond market was fairly active and higher. Sales were $11SS,OOO

Expected
 The newly elected board of select men, consisting of Robert E.. Baldwin, R. H. Brown. William F. Stahl, Lu- zerne Ludington, Alfred w. Forbes, Joseph B. Cunningham and Henry c. Bretzfelder met yesterday morning in the town agents office for organi- zation. William F. Stahl was elected president of the board. The oath of office was given to each by Major Timothy F. Callahan, clerk of the pro- bate court. No other business was transacted and the board adjourned. MT. Baldwin assumed the duties of town agent.
 A clean sweep is expected in the offices in the gift of the selectmen.
 The board Is now republican and the democrats now. holding office within the gift of the selectmen are expecting discharge. There is some talk about retaining Henry W. Sanford in charge of the almshouse, but it is believed that he, too, will lose hfs berth along with the subordinates of the Springside Home, who have been given positions under the democratic regime.
 Theodore H. Macdonald has been mentioned for the position of clerk in place of John Maher, and in all proba- bility he will be chosen to the position. Who will be financial clerk in place of Owen A. Groark is yet problema tical, ho vriv, the position.
 MT. Baldwin said in answer to an enquiry:
 "Who the candidates are for the vari- ous positions cannot tell you, for no doubt each selectman has received ap- plications, and until we get together and compare notes, cannot tell who will receive the positions"

Gall Flies.

One Of the most remarkable facts
In the history or the gall fly is, that
different species acting on the same
tree produce totally different results.
Thus, one OF them puncturing the
wild rose gives rise TO one Of those
moss pretty moss-like tufts which so
fre luently adorn it. Another on the
same plant produces round growths
resembling currants in size and form.
A much greater variety OF form is
produced on the oak tree.
No fewer than fifty species OF gall
fly, indeed, are said TO produce their
peculiar forms OF growth upon IL.
One OF the most common is that
which produces the mar ble gall This
gall is produced on the twigs in the
form OF round bodies, soft and green
at first ?fterward brown and woody.
The familiar oak apple is OF more ir-
regular shape, and pretty colored red
and yellow like fruit OF similar
shape TO the marble gall, but softer,
and OF pretty red color where ex-
posed TO the sun. is the cherry gall.
Another fruit-like gall, small,
round, and often appearing in clus-
tess on the male catkins Of the oak.
is known as the currant gall. Still
more remarkable, perhaps, is the ar
choke gall. In this case the gall
fly has laid its egg in the center of a
bud, and the vegetative growth,
though distur ed, has asserted itself
in systematical manner The oval
body IN the center, containing the
egg or grub, is covered with series
Of intoxicating or overlapping scales,
so that the whole bears a striking
resembi ance TO the inyolucrum OF a

THE Suez Canal last year paid a
dividend Of Is per cent on its cost
This vindicates the Judgment OF De
Lesseps, who always claimed that the
enterprise would pay. IT'S cost was
ninety million dollars. The Man
chester Ship Canal cost seventy-hve
million dollars, and the revenue from
IL will pay dividends OF 3 To 3 per
cent This for European invest
ments is considered a good return.
There is a growing interestin various
American ship canals One OF these
is through Cape Cod, to shorten the
line for the growing coast trade along
the New England seatoard. Rail
road construction is declining Per
haps now the time for more shi p
canals has come.
