CANDY PEDLARS ARRESTED.

Men With Pushcarts Must Not Stand
 on the Streets.
 The police authorities have endeavor- ed to have the pushcart candy dealers keep moving, except when engaged in wrapping up their wares for their GUS toners. But little attention has been paid to the patrolmen and the dealers would return to their favorite stands as soon as the officers backs were turned. The most frequent haunts of the alleged violators of the city ordi- nance were In front of some of the eve ming newspaper offices. The news boys waiting for papers were good custom CTS, and the effect of their wares was wonderfully manifested in the in- creased enthusiasm of the small boy.
 Yesterday the police determined to put a stop to what had become. in their opinion, too pronounced a nuisance to be longer tolerated. Instructions to make arrests were sent out from head quarters and little later Patrolmen Gilligan, Hackett and Cooper marched the four men with their pushcarts to the police station. The men arrested were: Carmini Tecelli, Samual Rood bery, Iman Kwacha and Dominick Cot TOni.

REYNOLDS WILL CASE AGAIN.

sNNN NNSAS(c w lLAA SSAoLN SAoEAAANs
 There was an extended argument yes- terday morning in the probate court In the Reynolds will case. The point at issue Is that which arose Saturday, namely, the admission of the testimony of Attorneys Coyle and Martin, who drew a former will for Miss Ellen Key holds, over whose property there is now so much controversy.
 The attorneys themselves and the counsel for the last will contend that the interviews between Miss Reynolds and her lawyers and the provisions of the previous will, which has been de- stroyed, are of privileged character, and that the lawyers cannot be re- ouired to testify in regard to them.

Goodman Ss Co, who did business as the New Ha- ven Credit Supply company. Attorney R. H.

 TRUSTEE APPOINTED.
 The hearing upon the appointment of a trustee over the estate of Robert w. Smith of North Haven was held in the probate court yesterday. MT.

Hay den Todd as one of the appraisers and then the court began to name North Haven men for the other place. He told the gentlemen present that if they named any candidate for the place it would disQualify them under his rule 1 He named several men, but the credit ors objected for one reason or another Some of the reasons were that the per son named was not a farmer and there- fore not familiar with the value of farm stock, or that he was not familiar with the value of North Haven real estate The court finally appointed Romanta Lindsley, the town agent of North Ha- ven.

 Counsel for the plaintiff in the case of Frederick A. Betts, insurance com- missioner, against the Aetna Life h. surance company, have filed a motion with the superior court, asking that the greater part of the defendant corpora tion's answer be stricken out on the ground that the several paragraphs ob- jected to are irrevelant, argumentative, evasive, impertinent, obscure and un- certain. That they neither affirm nor deny anything and consist merely of statements of evidence and argument containing nothing upon which an issue may be raised. The motion will be ar gued Friday, if Judge Elmer can find a judge that can hear the case.
 Judge Elmer, who is holding court at Hartford, has declared that he is dis qualified from passing on the case, for what cause he has not yet seen fit to explain.

ANNEXATION or HAWAII
although There Is No Immediate Pros
Pect of the Signing of the Treaty
Pans A e PreDGred.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 14.-When
the President returns to Washington to-
morrow he will find the PROPOSE ZION to
annex Hawaii in shape for positive action.
NOBODY IN the confidence of the admins
tratlon is willing to say the treaty has
been drawn up and merely awaits the sig
natures OF representatives of the Unit d
States and OF Hawaii, but it is pretty cer-
tain that Judge Day, acting Secretary of
State, will have ready in writing a mum Der
OF definite propositions from the Hawaiian
Commissioners.
A rough draft of the treaty has been
made, embodyIng all the points. The
President has given all his political friends
to understand tnat he would not bring
forward any new question until the tariff
bill is out of the way.
As Cuba is entitled to next place after
the tariff In executive and legislative con-
sideration there is little prospect the
question of the annexation of Hawaii will
be allowed TO come up until the Cuban
Issue is settled. While the Cuban stu
alton will undoubtedly result in some ac-
tlon by the President soon alter the tari4
ls out of the way the annexation treaty
may be sent to the Senate before the close
OF the session. This may not bs done il

LONDON, ENG, June 14.-The Times is
OF the opinion that the recognition of
Hawaii's inde pendence by the great now
ers in 1898 will constitute a diplomatic

FINAL CHAPTER IN A NOTED FEUD
TrloI of One of fhe Most Interesting Gases
IN the History OF Texas JgrIs-
nfuGence

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, June 1.-THE
trial OF one of the most interesting crimi-
nal cases in the history oil Texas jurispru-
dence began to-day at Eastland. 1t is
one of the final chapters in the celebrated
Miller-Frazier feud. J. B. Miller, one of
the principals, is on trial on q charge of
killing G. A. Frazier. The State has $50
witnesses and the defendant sixty. The
father of G. A. Frazier was worth 500, 600
and County Judge of Reeves County. His
murdered son was Sheriff of Reeves Coun-
ty and Miller was deputy sheriff under
him, and the two got along we'll together
for some time. Finally Miller was
charged with stealing two mules from
Frazier. He was acquitted, but arrested
again and charged with conspiracy TO
murder Frazier. He was acquitted again.
Soon afterward Frazier was ambushed
and killed and Barney Riggs, his brother
in-law, was wounded. Riggs killed the
two men who attempted mis- life. They
were both friends of Miller. Riggs was
acquitted on the plea of seIf-defense. Mil
Ter was then arrested and charged with
the murder of Frazier. He denies the
charge Miller is young and well edu-
Gated. He is apparently devout church
member, and never drinks, swears or
smokes.

ExCIuSiVeneSS at the Big
Vanderbilt Residence
Overcome.
President Mckinley Declined
to Visit Biltmore if Corre-
Spondents Were Barred.
So Those Who Are Travelling With
the Chief Executive Had to
Be Included.

OLD FORT, II. c., June 14-President
Mckinley and party spent very busy
day. They will reach Washington at 1880
o'clock tomorrow morning. well pleased
with the long trip. The excessive heat
has been the only drawback. Asheville
was reached at 10 O'Clock this morning.
An informal reception was rendered.
After luncheon the party drove 10 the
Wand erbilt estate at Biltmore, TWO miles
distant.
furry of excitement was caused when
it was learned that those in charge of Bilt-
more during Vanderbilt's absence in
Europe objected to admitting the entire
Presidential party to Biltmore House. No
message had been received from Wander
bilt, and Harding, the acting superintend-
ent, hesitated TO assume the responsibility
OF admitting newspaper correspondents
and others who had been mem bers of the
party since the train left Washington.
The President decided that as the cor
respondents were bis personal travelling
companions and especially invited by him,
all must be included in the invitation to
Biltmore or he would decline to accept.
Secre tary Porter tele phoned the decision
to the superintendent, and the entire
party was promptly included in the invi-
tatlon. The apparent discourtesy OF Van
deroilt or his representative was the cause
of much comment.

Fate of Battle-Ships Under Fire
Nothing Less Than Total
AnnihiIatIon.

BOSTON, MASS, June 14.-LightninG is
destined to supplant proiectives in naval
warfare. A Worcester (Mas<.) inventor
has just perfected mechanism by which
he can actually discharge bolt of arti-
ficiaI lightning and control its direction.
He is now at work on the technical de-
tails necessary to the adaptability of this
astonishing invention to the American
battlesh Ips of to-day. These details are
practically com mpleted, and it can safely
be said that naval warfare is to be so revo-
IutioDized by the substitution of electricity
for shot and shell that the fate of the
future warship under fire is nothing less
than total an nnihilation.
Hereafter warships, cannons, projec-
tiles, armor, torpedoes or small firearms
will necessarily all be relegated to the
Junk heap The enemy will be smitten
with lightning controlled and guided by
the hand cf man. Thomas W. Anderson
OF Worcester claims 10 have succeeded in
harnessing lightning and controlling it
by simple means ana making it exert its
awful death-dealing power at his will.
The young electrician is sanguine that
he has discovered means by which he can
accom- plish all that he claims, and cause
bolt OF lightning to strike wherever he
may choose. He claims to have succeeded
in discharging thunderbolt, or causing
stroke of ightning 10 traverse particular
atmospheric course.
The principal secret of the invention
was admitted 10 be in the means by which
the current is transmitted. He is as con-
ndent that he can control the course OF
bolt OF lightning of destructive proper
tlons as Tesla is that he can telegraph
through the air without material con-
nectlon with the receiver. His plan is
SIMPLY the delivery at any given point at
distance of mass of lightning or cleo
trio fluid, instead of lead bullets or bomb
shells. He Is many points ahead, in
theory at least, of the manufacture of
guns for throwing shot or ball. or the
hurting OF bombs, and may be considered
as referring in an up-to,dat sense to the
brilliant idea of the American Indian.

STILL An0THER COMBINE.
All the Sash and Door Factories of the
West 10 Be ScG0ped Into One
BIO ORGANIZATION.


CHICAGO. ILL, June 1.-THE Chicago
Inter Ocean says: A new door com bina-
ton has been formed. 1t is a recently
incorporated company, known as the.
Western Door Company, with 81 ,0OO, 900
capital, and headq quarters at Rock Island,
Ill.
Frank Adams, formerly commissioner
OF the Manufacturers Sash, Door and
Blind Association, but now of the Farley
Loetscner Man ufacturing Company of Du-
buque, Iowa, is one of the incorporators.
He is cons. dered one of the best-informed
men in the door trade, and he is really the
organizer OF the new company. The plan
Is to practically form door trust on g
new plan, rs the old trust, formed in Wis
consin several years ago, has been forced
out OF existence by the courts OF that
State. The first work of the new company
Is to com oiue all the sash and door fIcto-
ries along the Mississippi route. Most of
the large factories have already been Sc
cured, and not only the others on the
route, but also all the Western and North
western factories Will be brought into the
company by purchase or otherwise.
One OF the incorporators, speaking of
the new con bine, said: 81 he door busi-
ness has been run at loss for over two
years, as there are too many manufactur-
ers Tor the trade, and many of them had
to remain closed part or the time in pre-
vent overstocking the market. Even then
there has been too much stock, and prices
are lower in proportion to the cost of lum-
Der. Inc object of the trust is not to re-
strict trade, but to put it on a paving
basis. Branch houses are to be ouened in
all Leading distributing markets. Chicago
will have one. There viii also be one at
New York. San Francisco and also at Svd-
ney or Melbourne, Australia.
There Is to be regular set of officers
