for Production of VIII.
New York, Nov. 22.-Willis S. Paine
of this city and others are made de-
PENDANTS in a suit brought by the sis
ter of his deceased wife, involving the
disposition of the latter's estate, valued
at 100000. The action is instituted by
Henrietta T. Blatchford, the sister, and
is to compel the production of will
alleged to have been made by the late
Mrs Paine and entrusted to the de-
PENDANTS for safe keeping.
The will, it is alleged, was made on
May 16, 1894, and after providing for
the payment of $4,000 annually to Will
lis S. Paine, directed that the remainder
of the income be divided between the
brothers and sisters Of the defendant.
The will was supposed to be in a safe
deposit vault, but recent search for it
there, it is alleged, showed that 1t was
missing, though there were found
drafts of the will tending to bear out
the claims of the plaintiff. On the
representation that Paine is about to
leave for Egypt referee was appoint
ed to take his testimony.

ATCHAPEL STREET BRIDGE.

Slightly Demented--Oblised to Give Up
Work Some Time Ago-Found in the
Piling of Chapel Street Draw.

ternoon about $3.50 o'clock in the piling
of the draw of the East Chapel street
bridge across Mill river by Michael
Donahue. a smiths helper, residing at
NO. 16 Cain street. The indications are
that Mr.. McAllister committed suicide

as to lead the medical examiner to be-
lieve that it had been in the water sew
eral hours, perhaps twenty-four.
Mr.. McAllister worked for many
years in the New Haven Clock compa-
ny's shop, but was obliged to give up
his position about nine weeks ago owing

ranged and was despondent over being
obliged to resign his employment. Sum-
day afternoon about 8 o'clock he left
his residence on Clay street, and as he
did not return in the evening his family
became alarmed and notified the police,
stating his mental condition and ex-
pressing fears that he might have done
himself bodily harm. The police OBJ
tained no clue to his whereabouts dur
ing Sunday night, and nothing was
heard from him until the body was
found yesterday afternoon.
The remains were removed to the
Sisk Brothers undertaking establish
ment on Grand avenue and Medical Ex-
aminer White was summoned. No
signs Of bruises were found on the body
and death undoubtedly resulted from
drowning. A watch found on the per-
son of the dead man was stopped at
500, probably Sunday evening.
Mr.. McAllister was forty-six years of
age and leaves wife and three chill
dren, a son and two daughters, one of
whom is said to be In convent in New
York state. The other daughter resides
at home. The son is said to be study
ing for the priesthood. Mr.. McAllister

THE GARRISONS DISASTER
STATE RAILEOAD COMMISSION Has
COMMENCED INVESTIGATION.


the Wall Was Built by PiecemeaI-
In His Opinion the Primary Cause of the
Accident Was the Derailm ent of the
Engine.
Albany, N. Y, Nov. 22-The state
railroad commission in session here to-
day began the investigation of the re-
cent railroad wreck on the New York
Central, near Garrisons.
General Manager Toucey testified
that the road was inspected by the
roads engineers and was under the
constant supervision of track walkers.
The tracks in the vicinity of the ac-
cident have been lying in the same po-
sition since 1854. No sea wall had been
originally built along the road, but it
had been built by piecemeal during the
past fifteen or twenty years. In his
opinion the primary cause Of the acci-
dent was the derailment of the engine
How this happened had not yet been
determined.
General Roadmaster Otis testified
that the portion of the road was in good
condition and that it had never been
called to their attention as being dam
gerous.
Assistant Master Mechanic Van
Setback testified that the wrecked en-
gine was now in the regular service.
He was unable to deduce any theory
as to the cause of the derailment of
this engine, which was the primary
cause Of the wreck.
Sectionman Fitzpatrick, who has
charge of the section where the wreck
occurred, said he was positive that the
roadbed and track in the vicinity
of the wreck were in good condition.
An adjournment was taken until De-
cember 6, when the engineering expert
who inspected the roadbed after the
accident, will be examined.

REORGANIZATION OF NAVY.
Turkey Has to Abandon Plan Because of
Russia's Demands.

Constantinople, Nov. 22.-The Turk
ish government announces the post
ponement until spring Of its naval re-
organization plan. This is undoubted-
ly due to the representations of Rus
sia, to the effect that arrears OF the
Turkish-Russian war indemnity are
still due and that if Turkey persists in
spending large sums of money upon
the reconstruction Of her navy Russia
will insist upon the payment Of these
arrears Therefore the announcement
just made by the porte is equivalent to
an indefinite shelving Of the PROPOSE
ton to rebuild the Turkish navy and is
a decided setback for the policy Of Ger
many, the latter country having been
extremely solicitous Of taking part in
rebuilding the Turkish fleet.

Nothing herein contained shall be SO con-

the commercial reciprocity concluded be-
tween the United States and the king of the
Hawaiian Islands on the 30th day Of Janu-

same in accordance with the provisions of the
said treaty; provided, that in case said
treaty be hereafter modified or superseded

provisions of this act shall be subject to the
provisions of such modified or new treaty.
It soon became apparent that q COM

was almost out of the question among

Would they be satisfied ?' remarked
Mr.. Foster.
Mr.. Liebes replied: II have seen Herr
Leopold BoscowitZ, SON of Joseph

he said to me: I assure you if we be
compensated for our vessels the Ques-
ton can be settled in ten minutes

Have you authority to speak for any
Boscowitz said: All the Canadians will
be very glad to be bought out
suppose you will expect a very
large profit, said I. to which reply
was made No. as the business has not
been very profitable we shall be glad
to get out Of it,
Mr.. Liebes having recounted this to
Mr.. Foster, the latter replied: Even
if such a proposal were made doubt
much if the United States would ever
vote money for such a purpose"
Mr. Liebes said in answer: II do
not think there is any other way Of
settling the matter. On the one side
on the other side they have legally the
right to destroy it. Unless the parties
interested can be compensated in some
way by receiving part Of the profits Or
by being bought out, it cannot be set
tied. AS far as the North American
company is concerned we do not care
either way. But if we get no seals
we cannot be expected to pay our SUBJ
s!dy to the United States government -
Mr. Liebes further told Mr.. Foster
that he had received from his own peo-
pie on the islands, early this month,
reports showing that seals were much
scarcer than ever, and that the take
this year will only be a third of last
years. This, Mr.. Foster said, he knew
perfectly and added that he under
stood the Canadians were not making
any money. The Russian agent, who
has been in London trying to find out
whether there is any truth in the as

moned to return to Russia.
