Or course, those little personal
pleasantries on the part of our
contemporary, such as you havn't
paid your rent" you don't steal
any thing you can't carry" etc.,
were meant as jokes. Well, we
meant what we said and were not
joking. We have the signatures
OF several people under oath to
prove it at that. But, the sworn
statement OF five responsible men
don't count as much as one mans

Subscription So per Year.

WHY not the range towns get to
gether and make an united effort
to secure the congressional con-
yentions this year! We have
nothing to lose and everything to
gain. We are the richest part of
the district, are proud of our home
and want our neighbors to know
more of us. The iron ranges have
never been accorded any favors of
the kind. We have the right to
ask for this, and we believe, an
united effort on our part would
bring what we ask. It is worth q
trial, anyway. Virginian.
Our valued contemporary from
the Mesaba range is right. The
ranges are entitled to something,
and it will do no hahn to ask for
it. However. before we begin.
The larger part of St. Louis
county lies north of Duluth but
this idea does not prevent Du-
luth from being the ''whole
thing" When there are any
pIums for st. Louis county to be
divided, Duluth eats one and saves
the other for itself.

UPROAR In
SPANISH SENATE

Madrid. Sept. 15.-The prorogation OF
the Senate was preceded by violent
uproar arising from a speech in which
Senator Primo de Rivera said:
Unless / receive complete satisfac-
tion I will declare before everybody
that the words used by Count de AL
menas were only fit for the mouth of a
miserable caluminator."
The President called Senator de RI
vera to order. Count de Almenas tried
to reply. but was not allowed to do So
An uproar then arose. which was ended
by Prime Minister Sagasta reading the
decree ending the session.
Afterward Count de Almenas strode
threateningly toward Senator de Ri
vera, hut the president persuaded him
TO take his seat. A duel between Count
Almenas and Senator de Rivera is
likely.

ture of the queen regent to a decree

Legal Controversy Between the Defend

Judge Rogers today filed his decision

The defendant pleaded the general
issue, and filed a plea in set-off, con-
sisting OF the ordinary printed counts
in a declaration in assumpsit, setting
his ad damnum at $1,000 the same as
the ad damnum i'm the writ. The de-
fendant also denied that the note was
given for a valuable consideration.
There were many transactions be-
tween the plaintiff and the defendant,
many of which were of a complicated
nature, but Judge Rogers believes that
the plaintiffs claim, that at the time
the note was given the defendant ow-
ed the plaintiff $700, and that the note
was given for this balance which had
been agreed upon, and that there In
no merit in the defendants claim OF

OFFICERS MUST
REMAIN IN SERVICE

Washington, Sept. 1A-The president
hereafter Will be very reluctant to ac-
cept designations of volunteer officers
Of regiments which are continued In
service. A large number of such resig-
nations have been sent to the war de-
partment, and in most cases have been
accepted. The roster of officers has
now become reduced to a condition
which requires that no further reduc-
tions be made. unless for extraordinary
reasons.
Leaves OF absence will be granted
with some liberality on certificates
from surgeons and on the presentation
of exceptional reasons requiring tempo
rary absence from commands. In the

MANY GRAND
JURY CASES
More Than Two Hundred
Are to Be Considered.
A BIG SEPTEMBER DOCKET
Some of the Cases Are Of an Unusu-
ally Ser ious Nature.
A BIG SEPTEMBER DOCKET
SESSION WILL BE ALONG ONE.

The grand jury that will be empan-
elled next Monday in Judge Wilbur's
court will have a lot of business to at
tend to. as upwards Of 200 cases will
be submitted to 1t by the attorney gen.
eral. This is the largest number OF
cases any one grand jury has had sub
mitted to IL I'm this county. There is
generally a larger number OF GAGS to
be presented to the jury ernpanelled in
September OF every year than to the
grand juries that are empanelled in De-
cember. March and June, because the
time between the meeting OF the jury
In June and September Is a few weeks
longer. and possibly for other reasons.
The number has never before in Sep
tember reached by 40 or so cases the
number thatwill bessubmitted on Mon
day next.
A number OF the cases are OF a seri-
Gus nature and some will require rather
lengthy consideration. One police dis
trict in this city, which generally has
less cases for the grand jury, will have
about 80 on this occasion. There will
be large number of nuisance cases.
II is in view OF the large number Of
cases that the session OF the jury win
be longer than usual, though Attorney
General Tanner is remarkably expedi-
tious in disposing of work in the grand
Jury room. 1t will probably be the Sec
Ond week In October before the trial
of criminal cases begins in the common
pleas division Of the court.

Newport. r. l., Sept. 15-Today SEN
ator Wetmore, Congressman Bull.
Mayor Boyle and members of the COM
mlttee on the proposed entertainment
of the officers and men OF the naval
vessels in Newport harbor visited the
Brooklyn. and after a conference with
Capt. Cook. decided to abandon the pro-
posed land parade as part of the cele-
bration.
Capt. Cook said that a large number
of the officers and fully 100 of the crew
are absent on sick leave, and that the
battalion formation of The ships COM
pany Is very much broken up. and that
IL would be difficult TO get up a parade.
IL was then decided that the entertain
ment of the sailors shall take the form
of ride on the electrics TO Island
Park, where clarubake will be served
and a special vaudeville performance
will be given. This will be on Satur-
day and Monday, I'm two divisions.

hoping that Spain will secure In ex-
change therefor valuable economic ad-
vantages. The retention OF the islands,
they believe. will be fruitful source
OF complications.
Senior Giron, Minister of the Colon
les. says that the Peace Commission
will finish its work in a month. The
Cortes will be revoked In November to
ratify the treaty of peace. after which
there will be a total change in the Gov
ernment; but 1t would be madness to
talk of crisis until the treaty Of peace
Is ratified.
The Financial News says that ex-
porters Of arms and ammunition to
Spain are warned that it is well for
them to be careful to whom consign-
ments are made other than the gov
ernment. The Spanish Consul General
here has advertised an offer OF a con-
siderable reward for trustworthy in

CLAUSE IS CONSTRUED,
Trustee Of Briggs Will Pay Ger.
tain Debts.
A Rescript Has Been Handed Down by the
Appellate Court.

A rescript was filed in the Appellate
Court today on the request of william
H. Washburn. trustee under the will of
William o. Briggs. late Of this city, for
an opinion on certain questions arising
under the third clause of the will. AL
bert C. Briggs Of Clinton. Mass. joined
in the petition. He Is one Of the benefi-
ciaries under the will, and by reason
OF sickness in his family and loss of
employment had immediate need Of a
portion of the estate bequeathed to him.
The third clause of the will is as fol-
lows:
las my purpose is TO withhold said
property from my grandchildren and
their descendants until IL will probably
have better care, authorize the tfus-
tee for the time being TO so far vary
these trusts as to make such expendi-
lures as become necessary from the
sickness or actual misfortune of said
children or grandchildren or any OF
them, and in defraying the reasonable
expense OF the funeral and burial of
such of them, II any. as decease, but
no child hereafter born to my son. VIII
liam r.. Briggs. or any descendant Of
such children, are included in any of
the provisions of this will.''
The question submitted to the court
was whether under said clause the
trustee had the right to make such ex-
penditures for the payment Of debts
which may be owing by said grandchil-
dren, or any Of them. IL through sick
ness or actual misfortune said chill
dren or grandchildren have been unable
to pay them. The solicitors for the
trustee, Cooke & Angel. urged that
only such expenditures were authorized
as were made during sickness or actual
misfortune. not such as might provide
for the payment of bills incurred before
sickness.
The court holds that the testator
must have intended that the trustee
should have power to apply the trust
property to the payment of the debts
OF beneficiary which he Is unable to
pay through sickness or misfortune.
rather than that 1t should be leopard
ICED by suits against the beneficiary to
recover such debts. n. j. Dubois is at

Possible Clue in the
Bridgeport Tragedy.
WHAT POLICEMEN STATE.
Clam to Know the Woman and
Talk About a Mans Implication,
NO NAMES HAVE BEEN DlvULGED

Bridgeport. Conn. Sept. 1.-THE mys-
terry surrounding the dismembered body
OF the young woman taken from the
Yellow mill pond. near the Seaview ave-
nue. bridge. was still unsolved this
morning. in spite OF the efforts Of the
police and scores of reporters. A young
woman and her mother. who would not
give their names. called at the morgue
last night and viewed the picture OF
the mysterious head.
The young woman was positive the
remains were those of Nellie Luacke :
rey, daughter of the well known painter
in New York, who lives on Day street.
This girl has been missing for two
weeks and no trace OF her can be found.
Some time ago she married a man by
the name OF Smith. but two weeks ago
the latter left her, and shortly after
the young woman was missing.
At 2 o'clock this morning two West
Haven policemen called at the morgue
and viewed the remains for a consider
able length OF time.
They then went TO the police station
and were closeted with Superintendent
Birmingham for some time. They
claimed they knew the girl and also a
young man that was thought to be i'm
plicated in the case. They would not
divulge any names, but said they would
look into the case thoroughly.

CHANGES In ROUTE.
Broad ST.. Cranston ana Elmw0od
Cars TO Run 10 New Station.
Car Traffic Along Market Square VIII
Be Considerably Reduced.

In view Of the fact that the new pas
senger station is to be opened to the
public on Monday next the question
of street car travel to and from the
depot Is one that is very naturally in
teresting the people of this city. Gen.
eral Manager Potter of the Union Rail-
road Company said this morning, that,
as far as plans had been completed, the
Broad street, Cranston street and Elm
wood cars would run directly to the
new station, while the Broadway and
Atwells avenue cars would run TO
within a very few yards of the build
ing,
The Broad street and Cranston street
cars would run directly under the COW
cred shelter In front of the station,
while the Elmwood cars would run un-
derneath the station on the trip to and
from Smiths Hill. 1t was very. proba-
BILE, said Mr.. Potter, that later on other
lines of cars would be run to the sta
tion. and the people might depend upon
IT that every facility would be afforded
them in reaching the trains.
While the running of cars to the new
passenger station will, of course, some
what relieve the amount of car traffic
at Market Square, there VIII still be
large amount OF travel at that central
point, and several lines will continue to
have their terminus there. as hereto
fore. There will be no station for pas
sengers, for while the railroad company
desires to erect a suitable building for
that purpose. the City Council object
ed and the plan was necessarily aban-
doned. The entire plans OF the railroad
company are not perfected yet, but in
a short time Manager Potter will be in
a position TO furnish further details of
the general service throughout the
city.
