New Haven Clergyman Given a Chance tc
Back Up His Accusations.

. Hartford, Conn June 14.-There was
large attendance of Senators and Repre-
sentatives at the Capitol this morning
anticipating the appearance of Rev. j.
H. Mason of New Haven, and Rev. c. A.
Piddock edit or of the Christian Secretary
of this city, in response to an invitation
Of the Senate special investigating COM
mittee. They had been notified by mail
to attend and tell the committee what
they knew about the corrupt conduct or
malfeasance in office of any senator. The
basis of this is Rev. Mr. Mason's recent
sermon at New Haven and editors
printed approval of the same. The COM
mittee waited over an hour but neither
witness appeared. Their names were
called and Chairman Webster announced
the hearing adjourned until II Monday
morning.
Subpoenas were issued this afternoon
to the sheriff of Hartford county ad-
dressed to each witness summoning him
to appear and testify before the commit
tee Monday. If they do not appear they
will be proceeded against for contempt.
Rev. G. A. Piddock was seen by an
agent OF the New England Associated
Press this afternoon and said he did not
attend the session of the Senate investi-
eating committee this morning because
he was not notified. He received yester-
day an envelope addressed to him con
tanning letter to Rev. J. H. Mason, be.

TERRIBLY HURT.
A Little Adams Boy Run Over by a
Horse.

!. A serious and at the same time
peculiar accident happened on Hanover
street yesterday afternoon. A well known
gentleman was driving along that street,
at jog trot, and a little cluster of chill
dren were playing on the sidewalk. All
at once great dog rushed out from one
of the houses close by, and ran at the
children. One of them, a little boy named
Adams, about five years old, whose
parents live in Haverhill, Mass was so
frightened he ran out from the sidewalk
right under the horses legs and before
the gentleman could pull the animal up
the horse had struck the child a blow
with his hoof on the head, inflicting q
fearful scalp wound that almost covered
his head. The gentleman took the child
into the residence of it's grandmother,
Mrs D. o. Mcintyre, No s Hanover
street, and then drove for surgeon and
succeeded in securing DR.. Pendleton.
There was no fracture, but the doctor
thought the wound so serious it was
doubtful if the child would recover. The
child declared the gentleman was not at
fault, but the gentleman told the surgeon
to do his best and send his bill to him.
Later the child was delirious.

New York, June 14-Bradstreets' to-
morrow will say: The recent check to
activity in general trade, taking the
country as a whole, which followed the
severe and unusual frosts of the close OF
May, has begun to register itself in re-
latively fewer upward spurts of prices for
staples and moderately smaller totals OF
bank clearings. An exception to the halt
is found in the remarkable exhibition of
strength by iron and steel Cotton is
lower, and wheat, railway and other Sc
curities have each presented season of
active demand and advancing prices, but
none of them have outdone iron and steel
which, without special orders from rail
road and other large consumers, have
again advanced all kalong the line The
bank clearings this week have dropped
to s., 1,oo3, ooo, 600, falling off of IL per
larger than the second week of June, 1894,
though 2S per cent less than in the
panic year, and 12 per cent smaller than
the like total of 1892. The advances in
prices of staples this week seem practi-
cally confined to few varieties of cotton

an improvement in general business. The
total earnings of 1873 com mpanies with 9s,

May, 1894 of 6.5 per cent The gain in
April is only A. per cent over 1894. The
earnings of 1913 roads for five months ag-
gregate $lS4, 5S7, $50, a gain. of 25 per

THE PREBLE CASE.
The Defence introduces Its TestimO.
ny in Rebuttal.
MIR. VALLEY DENIES THAT HE
EVER WENT TO VAULT.

Also Denies that He Encouraged Mr..
PrebIe to Speculate to Take His
Mothers Securities-Other Evidence
Introduced to Overthrow Prebles Evil
dence.
Boston, June 14.-J.C. Bates Valley,
junior member of the firm of H. M. Bates
& Valley, who is charged of converting
the property of Sarah A. Preble to his
own use in her suit against the firm, now
being tried before Judge Colt in the
United States Circuit Court came, to the
stand in his own defence this morning.
The examination of Mr. Valley by Mr..
Hoar was extended, covering the entire
period of time from 1876 to the present
time.
EARLY in the examination Mr.. Valley
made a flat denial of the insinuation in
the case that he had made an improper
use of the power conferred upon him by
consent of Mr.. Preble, by asserting that
to the best Of his recollection he never
opened or even went to the box in the
vault during the time covered by his
power of attorney.
Mrs. Preble bases her suit, in part on
the alleged knowledge of Mr.. Valley at
the time the property was disposed of
through his office, that it belonged to her,
her son having no claim on it. In answer
to this MIR. Valley testified to the sale of
a number Of securities in the latter part
of 1879 and 1880.
In contradiction to another important
point in the claim of the plaintiff Mr.
Valley said that he never encouraged Mr.
Preble to speculate and never advised Mr..
Preble to go to his mothers box to take
out more securities.
Robert P. Clapp, to whom Mr.. Preble
made a statement of the case when Sena-
tor Wadleigh was employed as counsel,
Richard Ingersoll of the York County
Major, who was the official stenographer
at the trial of the issue in 1888, testified
for the defence also Their statements
were intended to overthrow the testimo-
ny of Edward Preble
At l o'clock recess of one hour was
taken.
Henry M. Bates, senior member of the
firm. testified that he never knew Mrs
Preble had tany claim son the securities
negotiated by the firm for Mr.. Preble;
also that Mr.. Preble's indebtedness to the
firm was more than balanced by his col

TROUBLE OVER AN AUTOPSY.
Mr.. Thomas Decker Complains That His
Daughters Body Was Subjected to Ex-
animation - The Statement of City
Officials.

An unusual matter was brought up
briefly at the meeting of the Board Of
Alderman yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Thomas Decker of Green street, appeared
to make complaint that an autopsy had
been performed upon his daughter,
Melinda A Decker, who died at the
Greeley hospital three weeks ago Satur-
day Mr.. Decker alleged that his daughter
had been subjected to an autopsy only
without his consent.
The aldermen did not hear Mr.. Decker
further, but referred him to the Board of
Overseers of the Poor.
The circumstances of the case are
peculiar. The Decker girl was nineteen
years old, and was not living at her
fathers home; but at house on Wash
ington street. The records show the birth
of still-born child to her She was sick
three weeks before she died DR.. Pudor
was called, and ascertaining the nature
of her illness, ordered her removal to
Greely hospital. She died soon after
arriving there.
After her death her father and mother
went to the hospital after her body. After
a little delay-which aroused Mr. Decker S
suspicious, the body was delivered in the
casket which he had sent.
Mr. Dscker's suspicious increased, and
before the funeral. last Tuesday, he ex-
amined the body of his daughter, and
discovered that an extensive autopsy had
been performed, and that cotton had
been substituted for some of the organs
Mr. Decker at once engaged Seth L..
Larrabee, Esq, as counsel, and applied
to the city authorities for leave to state
what he considers his grievances.
Secretary Baker of the Board of Over
seers of the Poor, was seen by the
PRESS in regard to the matter. He said
it was true that an autopsy had been per-
formed by City Physician Pudor. DR..
Pudor had done SO by the advice of older
physicians, and because it seemed adj
visable in view of the peculiar nature OF
the girls illness, and possible questions
that might arise in future in regard to it.
