E. A. pOYEN'S GUARDIAN
A Proceeding in PrObafe Court
 Yesterday.

E. J. Bennitt was yesterday ap- pointed guardian of the estate in this territory of Captain E. A. Pcy7n, who (is now confined in an asylum at Augusta, Me, hopelessly insane. Tha application for the appointment of MT Bennitt was made by Mrs Milliken, Captain Poyen's sister, and sister-in- law of Congressman Seth L. Milliken one of Maino's most famous repre- sentatiyes in the lower house. She was represented at the hearing by Baker and Bennett. The appointment, CT rather the hearing, at this time was opposed by Captain Poyen's wife, Mrs. Blanche Poyen. A telegram was re- Coived from her in Massachus- etts yesterday asking that it be postponed until October 20. The application was denied by Judge Nor ford on the ground that the property of the estate needed immediate atten- ton. Captain Pcyen was adjudged in sane on July 26 and since then he has had no legal representative nor could he have any except upon an order of tfe probate court. He left an agent here, but the instant he was adjudgad
 
 attorney in fact was dissolved. No enc could legally receipt for any money due the estate or enter into any contract regarding it. The court decided that any adverse rights Mrs. Poyen might have would not be iGl- periled by the appointment of MT. Bennitt. On her arrival here she might petition for his removal and the appointment of another guardian.
 The estate in this territory consists of a half interest in the Phoenix News and Stationery company, a handsome residence near Five Points and real estate in ether parts of town. His es- tate in Maine is large. but mostly in prospect.
 Information of Captain Poy- en's confinement in an asy- lum will be received by many with though it was pretty gen erally known by all who knew him ae all that he was suffering from mental i when he went away. In fact, a year ago certain peculiarities i were remarked by those who only | knew him casually and as long as Gwo | or three years ago feared that what has happened would happen.

templates two departments in the isl and of Luzon, one taking in Manila and it's environs and extending north, GOV ering all the territory occupied by General Macarthur; the other depart ment probably will be in the north of the island, with headquarters on Ling ay6n bay. Each of these departments in Luzon will be under a major gen. eral.
 A department probably will be es- tablished covering the Visayan group of islands, and another the Sulu group. Each of these would be under the com mand of a brigadier general. The plan is not fully arranged, but the latest proposition set1rca2ing these features meets with approval at the war department.

AUTOMOBILE TRIP.

London, Oct. 2.-Dr. Lehwess Of the Automobile club proposes tc under take in the early part Of next year, a journey from Pekin to London, about 5000 miles, on a mctor-driven vehicle.
 Dr. Lehwess said in an interview: My car, which is being specially con structed fon extraordinary service work, will burn ordinary petroleum, and have a specially designed burner for the ignition.
 The most difficult part Of my jour
 ney will, I fancy, be the stretch Of some 800 miles between Pekin and Khiachta, which is on the Russo Chinese frontier, but for this I am prepared, and carry a kind Of anclgor or grapnel, with a length cf wire rope, which can be attached to the motor, and used fer haulina the car over otherwise impossible pieces of road, or cut of deep Iuts or holes.
 As for fuel and water, the car has a carrying capacity for supplies to last us from three to four hundred miles, and there will be no difficulty in re- newing our supply. From Khiachta 1 shall follow as much as possible the

DISTRIBUTED TRAFFIC
Mr. Robbins Made WOIk for Street
 Car Conductor.

John R. Robbins was fined $0.50 III
 Justice Gray's court for being drunk
 and sleepy and obstructing the opera
 tions of the Phoenix Street Railway
 system the night before. MT. Robbins
 was wandering around in the northern
 addition in an intoxicated state. Like
 all others of his kind, he sought the
 bed of a railway as a restful sleeping
 place. The motorman discovered him
 in time to avoid selling the machinery
 with his remains and rolled him off
 the right of way. On the return trip
 he found MT Robbins asleep on the
 track again. He rolled him off the
 second time and when the car left him
 the conductor thought that he would
 lie quietly the rest of the night, But on his return he was Jagged as usual by the sleeping MT Robbins. So iI was all evening with MT. Robbins and
 the car, ''on agin; off agin; gone agin." The motorman, who is a patient soul, got tired after awhile of prying Mir. Robbins off the track, and beside he was interfering with the twentyminute schedule to such an extent that the miotorman feared the city would can eel the company's franchise. After side-tracking MT. Robbins for the last time, he telephoned to the jail and an officer went out and permanently moved the obstruction. He was taken before Justice Gray yesterday. He was not so sleepy as he was the night before, nor was he quite sober. Some Of his friends told thd justice that Robbins was a very decent sort Of a fellow when he was awake and they hoped he court would be easy with him. The court then imposed a fine that merely covered the costs. If I'd known you was going to make it that much,S said MT Robbins, I'd 'a'laid it out in jail" The justice said: There are no strings attached to you that I can see I don't see anybody tearing your clothes to keep you out Of jail. I've a notion to make it twenty days" He wrote out. a com but after the officer got Rob. bins tc the jail his friends persuaded him to pay the fine.

CAUGHT BY THE FLAMES.
Two Lives Lest at a Varnish Factory
 Fire in Newark, N. J.

New York, Oct 1.-Two men were killed and burned to a crisp in a fire which destroyed the varnish factory of Joseph A. Smith & Co.,, in Newark, N. J., today. It is supposed that a kettle in the reducing room boiled ov5r and an explosion and flames followed. In the reducing room at the time of the first explosion were Henry Cox, thirty-eight years Of agt, a resident of Elizabeth, and a member of the firm, and Patrick Costello, thirty years of age, of Newark. When the fire was out their charred remains were found.
 The factory was surrounded by ten ement houses, and from these the ten ants fled in haste. The buildings caught fire many times, but the flames wore extinguished The damage is es- timated at about $2O,OOO, mostly cn stock and machinery.

THE FIGHT FOR WATER
Answers in inc Suits Against the
 Maricopa.

The defendant, through it's attor-
 answer in district court yes
 terday in the several cases of Austin
 Starkweather, A. G. Shoot, George L. Wilkey, James Mcbride, George J. Smith and J. D. Marian against the Maricopa Canal company to enjoin the defendant from interfering with their water supply. The preliminary and
 immaterial allegations of the com plaints were admitted. Regarding the allegation as to the area of land held by each plaintiff and it's needs, the answer states that the defendant knows nothing. and therefore denies it. It is admitted that the plaintiffs made tender at the office of the water company on September 15 of various sums in payment for winter water and that these tenders were rejected. IL is denied that the plaintiffs had complied with the rules and regulations of the company in that they had not provided themselves with water rights or shares. The answer also states that, each of these plaintiffs had previously complied with these regulations by having procured such rights either by purchase or lease, a form of which is made a part of the answer, and is marked exhibit "A
 The most important allegation of the plaintiffs is denied-that they had any right in the water by approprla- tion or that their predecessors III ln- terest ever had any. It is stated n ne answer that the defendant could net have sold them any water on SeptelA- Der 15 or any other time if 1t had de- sired to do so. It had no water 10 sell. All the water belonged to own CTS of the water rights. It is around this last allegation and denial tha5 the battle between the water users and the water companies will rage. When that point has been successfully car ried by the users or successfully de- tended by the companies the whole controversy will be over.
 The answer in the case of Martin Gold against the same defendant IS different, for Colds case was different. He or his predecessors il interest had been getting water before the defend ants canal was constructed or thought of. The water had been appropriated from the Salt river and conveyed to the land through the Wilson dltch' Referring to this allegation the answer nretends to know nothing about the appropriation described, but denies that any water under that appropria- ton has been conveyed through the de fendant's canal. l. is almost iron icaIly suggested by the answer that there is no legal restraint on MT. Gold whereby he is prevented from resum- ing the use of the Wilson ditch as way for any water he may have ap- propriated in times gone by. But this answer was anticipated in MT. Colds complaint, in which he alleged that he had entered into a contract with the canal company to deliver his water, after which he allowed the Wilson ditch to fall into disuse. The head has since been washed out and the ditch has been filled.
