A standing room only house at Poli's last night began to applaud at the first act and kept the house ringing all night, for everything was in the ratio of good better, best until it reached a climax that made everyone talk of the great excellence of the bill.

soUABBLH OVER ESTATE.

Attorney Warren H. BriStOpS &C., count as executor of the estate of the late Hobart B. Sackett of Hamden was a subject of interest in the probate court yesterday.
 Attorney Charles $. Hamilton ap- peared for those who want a new ac- counting. They are the minor chil- dren of Hobart B. Sackett, grand children of the testator.
 MT. Hamilton has had Messrs. Hart Andrew and Quintard as experts in real estate to back his assertion that the property in City Point sold by Mr. Bristol as executor of the estate for $1,- 400 was worth $2,4O0
 MT. Bristol offered as experts Messrs. John T. Sloan and Michael Dillon, who examined the property at the time of the sale and said it was worth but $1, 300.
 MT. Hamilton said: This property was sold to friend and client by MT. Bristol on the first offer of $1,400, with out serving notice on single person interested. Charles A. Dickerman call ed at his office and offered MT. Bristol $1, 400 for the property. MT. Bristol said he could not sell it to him until after it was advertised. Then he advertises the sale and secretly and privately, in his own office, auctioned off the proper ty, selling it at the first bid, property that to-day is making an income of $180 a year and is worth $2.5OO."
 MT. Bristol said MT. Hamilton's statements regarding the sale are ab- solutely false. He brings in here peo- ple whose knowledge of real estate I do not believe is very thorough. One of them was a bartender. They say it is worth $2400. I am willing to place against them the opinion of MT. Pun derford and MT. Dillon, men of experi- ence and integrity, who examined the nroperty at the time of the sale, and they said it was worth $1,50O. l made repeated efforts to sell it, and I felt rather proud of being able to sell for s1 400. within $100 of the appraisal.
 1T see no reason for objection to an account except the instigation of Ho- bart Sacketts illegitimate son and that MT. Hamilton is here to earn his fee.
 'There was no haste in the sale. It was ordered on December 20, 1897, and was not sold until March 15 following. Every requirement of the court has been complied, with.''
 This ended the dispute. MT. Hamil- ton insisted that the account should be reflected and new one ordered.
 MT. Bristol said the money was in his hands, that it had been offered to the beneficiaries, but was refused, and that if would be handed over whenever the court so ordered.
 Decision was reserved.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
LANSING-HOWE, CASE IN COURT OF
 COMMON PLEAS.
the Sackett Estate in the Probate Court Cases.

Court Cases.
 The suit of Sadie E. Lansing against the Rev. o. Raymond Howe was re- sumed in the common pleas court yes- terday morning. Miss Lansing's cross examination was finished Tuesday af- ternoon and the first witness yesterday was Dr. E. J. Walker of this city, the physician upon whom she called and who told her of her condition.
 Dr. Walker testified that the girl told him she was assaulted on the beach in West Haven, but he did not believe her. The next day she confessed to him that o. Raymond Howe was the man. The witness said that MT. Howe called upon him and asked the doctor if he knew of Sadie Lansing's condition. The doctor replied that he did. Then he says MT. Howe suggested that it would be a good plan to send the girl out of town until after her child was born. Dr. Walker thought this plan was a good one, provided the parents would consent. Witness further testified that MT. Howe offered to pay his expenses if he would go to New York and attend the girl. pr. Walker replied that he did not believe the law would allow him to do that. The parents, so the witness said, would not consent to Sadie leav- ing town, so she remained in her own home.
 The, witness was positive that Sadie told him that Howe had agreed to pay her expenses and that he said he would sell his library to get the money.
 The plaintiffs case here rested, which was somewhat of a surprise. | The defense then introduced Mrs. o. Raymond Howe wife of the accused. She expressed confidence in her hus- band, said that she had never noticed any indication of familiarity or inti- macy with Sadie and that her rela- tions with her husband remained the same as ever up to the present time.
 She was examined closely regarding the location of the rooms in their house and of the furniture in the kitchen, the design of the defense being to show that it would be impossible to carry on as Howe and Sadie are alleged to have done, without being discovered.
 In the afternoon photographs of the vicinity of the cottage at Savin Rock occupied by the Howe family when the intimacy between MT. Howe and Miss Lansing is alleged to have existed were offered in evidence and certified to by witnesses.
 Mr. Howe, the defendant, was called to the stand shortly after o'clock and was still testifying when court ad- journed. He told of visiting Henry G. Newton and Rev. Newman Smyth, D. D., to consult with them concerning the charges which had been made against him and also of his attempts to find where the charges originated and his to do so. The case will go on at 10 o'clock this morning.
