William, the Had Son, Has Hearing In To
 lice Court.
 BROOKLYN, July 2O.-William Henry, charged with the murder of his father, was arraigned in the Myrtle avenue police court before Justice Haggerty As at the previous hearing on Monday last, the court room was crowded with spectators and witnesses The prisoner sat facing the witness chair and his brother Walter, who, with Mir. Morrison Hoyt, was present.
 The first witness called was Policeman Wright of the De kalb avenue police sta tion. His testimony concerned the shirt which was taken from the prisoner and which is said to have had several small spots of blood upon it. Policeman Wright was followed by Police Justice Hartman of the Gates avenue court
 Judge Hartman said that on Wednes- day preceding the murder the prisoner, accompanied by his mother, called at his office to consult him in regard to having his father declared insane William and his mother thought that the old man should be adjudged insane and placed in an asylum. The witness said that neither William nor his mother spoke in anger about Mir. Henry. The only thing William wanted was that his father should be made to support Mrs. Henry.
 Judge Hartman said that he advised Mrs. Henry to bring an action for limited divorce. She was not inclined to do that.
 Charles H. Martland, a clerk in Smith & McNell's hotel, New York city, testified to Williams stopping at the hotel on Sun- day night preceding the murder.
 Detective Delehanty, who has been work ing on the case all along, gave the same testimony on the stand as given before the coroner's jury, and concerned the search of the Henry house, the finding of the hatchet etc. The hearing was ad- journcd until Thursday next.

ANOTHER NUISANCE.

Long Suffering Residents of MlAl Street
 Asking For Relief.
 Residents of Mill street held an indig- nation meeting on Scovill's bridge last night and pronounced the condition of things along the bed of the river at this point a menace to public health. and decided to remind the road and sewer boards of the need of taking immediate steps to abate the nuisance. .# On the Mill street side of the river offal and other decaying matter remains for months forming stench which lis very offensive and dangerous to the health of the whole community. The land belongs to the Sco- will bs Manufacturing company. and the neighbors cannot understand why the com pany should not be compelled to build a retaining wall there and put down walk the same as all the other properly owners on the other side have done years ago. This would confine the water to a narrow channel where it would be carried away, taking all objectionable matter with it, in- stead of allowing it to lodge in the cobble stones and remaIn in front of the houses until swept away by a freshet. The bed of the river should be graded so that the people would not have that pool of stag nant water under their noses all summer. It is also alleged that a sewer empties into the river at the south side of the rail- road just under the bridge. and having no proper outlet, its discharge runs alongside the rails for several hundred feet until it is I absorbed in the earth below the property of Jsmes LoDgworth. This was disputed and a hot argument ensued as Co whether or not the sewer empties there, some claiming that the water came from the spring in the rear of Scovills shop and others maintaining that it was the dis charge from the sewer pipe.
 Attorney B. J. Smith took the latter view of the situation and thought those who are responsible for this state of affairs should be asked to explain why it has been allowed to remain in that shape for SC rltny years. Patrick Shannahan and others denied that the sewer emptied there and said that the pipe which led from the sewer to the river had been ripped uE several years ago.

A COMING CYCLONE.

It is Due To-day and Is Being Await
 ed With Fear and Trembling.
 Horace Johnson, the Middle Haddam weather prophet, after period of unusual inactivity, has predicted that the earth is moving into a storm belt, and that there is going to be bowling old time in this sec- tion of the country. somewhere between to-day and next Wednesday. MT Johnson did not content himself with predicting an ordinary storm, but has made arrangements to have regular old blow out; something that will exceed ordinary storms, as the sun does kerosene lampin brilliancy. The outlook to-day is not particularly good for the ful6llment of Mir Johnson's prophecy, and it is quite likely that the present state of weather will continue in spite of the predictions.

 NEW HAVEN. July 2O.-Reporter Me- Guire and Editor Lew Allen, of the Meri- den Journal. came to this city to-day to appear against Presiding Elder Crandall J. North. in the suit against him for con- tempt of court. When they went into court. before Julge Cable. the defendant was not prrsnet. He is in Cottage City. Mass. summering and beyond the jurisdic- ton of the court. Ex-Judge Pickett, counsel for Rev Dr North. was present, however. and asked for a continuance of the case until Thursday nex'. Judge Cable asked if the writ had been returned to the court, and was informed that it had not, and he therefore expressed the opinion that the case was not properly brought before him. This is only technical matter. however, and it is thought that on his return to New Haven, Elder North will be summoned be- fore the court to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court in making the remarks credited to him in an interview published in the Meriden Jour- nal.

RESULTED FATALLY.

D. D. Greer Who Met with the Accident

Notes From the Coal Mining Camp.
SCoFIELD, Jan, 6.-TCorrespondence
DISPATCH. The accident which hap
pened to D, d. Green on the End inst.
has proven great deal more serious
than was first supposed. He rallied
from the effects of the fall on Thursday
and Friday and on Saturday he felt as
well as possible. He even essayed to get
out of bed and get dressed, but at about
9:3Op. m. a change WAS noticed and in a
few minutes he was taken with CON
vulsions. DR., Smith was summo ned,
and did what be could to relieve him
but the conYulsions continued during
the night. This forenoon the convulsiC rs
increased, and shortly after IL O'Clock
he passed away. He is 81 years of age
and leaves seven children, one of
whom, his son George, is married. One
other son is grown u9, and the others
range from fifteen to four or five years
OF age. The remains win be taken to
st. j ohm, west of Tooele, for burial,
where his first wife sleeps. The demise
has caused feeling of gloom over the
community as he was well known here.
He settled in this valley fifteen Years
ago and has aided in building up it's
interests. The u. 2. mine will not
work until the removal of the remains.
Snow continues to fall here nearly
every day and there does not seem to
be any promise of cessa ton.
Mrs. A. M. Campbell, who has been
ailing for some time, is now GONZALES

j. T. Ballsntyne, one of the Carbon
county's newly elected selectmen from

running order. Some of the old mem
bers expected to hold over until the
OF probate Judge for this
county, but the new men have organ
lied. The appointment of Judge Olson |
will undoubtedly settle all disputes it |
has been anticipated would arise.

aR. STOKES CHARITY PATIENTS
Men who Lived at the Holman House and
Never Paid ANYTHING For Board.

Hen Who Lived at Cne honmdu house 0no
Never Paid Anything For Board.
The abrupt closing of the Hoffman
House has been taken as burning and
unprovoked insult by o number of men
who have been living in that establish
ment for great many years, and who
are hot and loud in their denunciat'on
of Proprietor Stokes 1t is characteristic
that this little group of Hoffman House
habitues should be particularly sharp IN
their comments on Mr.. Stokes action.
because they have been known as his
charity patients for years.
Two of them have lived in the Hoff-
man House for upward of 10 years with
out paying cent. Another has never
paid anything, although he is an old
Hoffman House dweller but he has
justified his position in the establish
ment by running around occasionally
and doing odd jobs for the house. Sew
erai of the others are notorious with
their ever existing lack of funds. 1t is
generally believed that the only way
Mr.. Stokes could get them out of the
house was to take the radical move
which he decided upon early last week.
There was nothing to be done with
the Hoffman House except to build an
entirely new structure. The main part
of the establishment is so old and rick
ETY. that it would be impossible to build
additional stories on 1t, and it would
have been a waste of money to try to
improve the existing building. New
York Letter.
