West as administrator The decision WIS
arrived at by Judge Sphinx OF the NUM-
cipal Court last evening and the decree

come unfit and unable to act as admins
traitor OF said estate and the court orders
that he be removed from the said trust

and he claims that he will be able to c,n-
vince jury that as he has always main
tanned, be has been perfectly honest in
all his dealings with his brothers estats

CULLEN PULLED
HIS REVOLVER,
Threatened TO Shoot Mr.. Hart on
Westminster Street.
Was Gathered In Later aud Mulcted on
Two Charges.

Michael Cullen, who was fined $50 and
costs for carrying concealed weapon by
Judge Sweetland this morning, had very
narrow escape from answering a more serious
charge-that of making an assault with intent
to kill
While under the influence of liquor yester-
day morning Cullen sirolled down westmin-
ster street and stopped in front of George A.
Hert's secondhand store at 667 Westminster
street, and began to pull over the articles in
front of the store. Mr. Hart spoke 10 Cullen
and he went away, but only to return, and
was this time full Of fight Cullen pulledIover
a mant i bed, which he broke and then Mr..
Hart slapped Culen's face. Cullen whipped
Gus his revolver and told Hart no would
shoot him. Mr.. Hart then got on to car,
and at the same time kept an eye on Cullen,
who continued on down Westminster street.
When near Cathedral, square Mr.. Hart called
Patrolman oNel OF the Central station and
pointed Cullen out to him.
Cullen was taken TO the Central station and
when Hart was told that Cullen would be
fined 81 and costs in the police court for being
drunk and $50 and costs at the Sixth District
Court, he said he would not prefer any charge
against the fellow, as the two fines would be
quite sufficient punishment for one day.

HOT CAMPAIGN
In NEW YORK.
Speculation as TO Effect on ths
Stale.
Tonights Straight Republican Meet
Ing VIII BE q Notable One.

New York, Oct. 20 1t Is not TO be won
dered at that politicians OF all sorts and con-
titions and, to certain extent. the general
rank and fie OF voters, are greatly Interested
IN the probable effect ~ the bitterness dis
played in municipal politics, upon the results
IN the state at large.
The effects principally discussed are those
affecting tho chances Of Wallace and Parker,
respectively, Republican and Democratic can
didates for Judge OF toe Court Of Appeals and
those Of the Legislative candidates individu-
ally. IL Is conceded that the bitterness deyel-
oped between the partsans OF Low and Tracy,
II not stronger than that between the par
ti'ans of George and Tammany il more in
evidence and likely 10 bo more widespread
IN its results. Straight Democrats claim
though they can give no substantial basis for
their asserton-ihat Parker will run 50 far
ahead Of Wallace in Greater New York rs 60
assure his election.
The straight Republicans are leaving no
means untried TO make the mass meeting at
LenOx Lyceum tonight noteworthy for attend
anco and influence. Secretary OF the Interior
Bliss will preside. General Tracy and Cover
nor Black will speak, and arrangements for
overflow meetings have been perfected.
Justice, Van wyck's letter of acceptance

perted but the bipartisan opinion is that 1t
is carefully worded, has been well considered
