Remarkable Coincidence.

One of the most remarkable coin
cidences on record has come to light
in Lynchburg, Va, and Augusta,
Ga. In each city there is a Walter
Clark whose father was named Sam
uel and whose mothers maiden name
was Walker. Both Walter Clarks
have brothers named Samuel and
William, uncles named Charles and
John and an aunt named Elizabeth.
Yet the men cannot trace any rela-
ton between the two families.

WToN FUND STILL GROWING.
General Corbim Now Predicts 1t VIII
Reach Ss5 900.

Washington, Jan. 9,-Returns received
by General Corbin to-day indicate that
he underestimated rather than overstat-
ed the fact when he predicted that the
Lawton fund would reach $S5000. Cash
and checks to the amount of $500 were
received this morning, swelling the ag-
gregate receipts to date to S70569. A
telegram was received from General
Shafter saying that the subscriptions to
the fund in San Francisco, already re-
ceived or promised, amount to about
$10,500. In addition there is also about
$4,000 subscribed by members of the
Union League club of New York, yet to
be transferred to Washington. General
Corbin says that among the most gen.
erous contributors to the fund not yes
terday credited have been the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph companies
both companies having carried all mes
sages free of charge the Western Union
carrying the most, nearly $1,000 WORTH
and the Postal about $500 in tolls

writing expert was introduced in to-
days trial of Roland B. Molineux for
the murder Of Mrs. Katherine j. Adams
and he was on the stand for almost
the entire day. This expert was Prof.

author of the letters signed Roland Mo-
lineux was also the author of the letters
signed Fl. Cornish and HI. c. Barnet,
and further that the address on the poi

of the letters. In making his compar

FIREMAN MILLER REDUCED.


The lire commissioners last night held
a meeting to try Hoseman William A..
Miller on the charges of leaving a fire
without orders and of insubordination.
All the witnesses who appeared were
sworn, the oath being administered by
Chief Fancher. Miller appeared and
stated that Lieutenant Redmond had
ordered him to leave the fire at the
Graham brass foundry on December 20
and drive to No 2's house and get Fire
man David j. Morton, who had failed
to respond to the alarm. Miller said
that after the fire Redmond told him to
keep still about the matter and agreed,
for himself, to say nothing about it.
Redmond also appeared before the
board and denied ordering Miller to
leave the fire. He said that he told
Miller that if he went after Morton he
-should do so on his own responsibility.
Captain Langley appeared and said that
on the night of the fire he saw Morton
in the fire marshal's wagon with some
one else going to the scene Of the fire,
but he did not know who the other man
in the wagon was.
The hearing was open, but after the
taking Of testimony the board went into
executive session and found Miller gull
ty of both charges. They voted to re-
duce him to third-grade hoseman. He
had been suspended pending trial on the
charges, and after the decision of the
commissioners Chief Fancher orlered
him to go on duty again this morning.
1t Is said that the vote Of the board for
conviction ON the charges was to 2,
Commissioners Holcomb, Ames and Sui
liven voting for conviction and Commits
sioners Kegelmeyer and We'll against it.
During the hearing Alderman John ].
Hogan. president of the board Of alder
men; J. e. Miller, president of the board
of councilmen; Councilman Rowland
and Anthony Carroll were present and
listened to the testimony.
The reduction in grade means a cut Of
forty-one cents a day in Millers salary,
he having been for some time detailed
as driver for the fire marshal. Chief
Fancher said last night that he had not
yet detailed another driver and would
not do so until he had consulted with
Fire Marshal Gladwin.
1t is claimed by Miller's friends that
the action of the board in his case was
influenced in great measure by depart
ment politics. The members of the fire
board were very much opposed to hav-
ing the common council fix a schedule
of salaries for the department, while
Fireman Miller's brother, who is presi-
dent of the board of councilmen, work.
ed hard to have the schedule adopted
by the common council. Those who
make this charge of bias point to the
fact that other members of the depart-
ment convicted Of more serious charges
have received much lighter punishment.
After finishing with the Miller case
the board voted to advance Captain
O'Neil Of Nc. to first grade, to take
effect to-day, and to advance r, b.
Hoyt and j. A. Gettings to first grade
hosemen, the advancement to take eff
feet January 22.

New Hartford, Pine Meadow, Collins-
YiIlo and UniOnYille GhOna A ffec ted.

Winsted, Conn, Jan. 9.-The manu-
facturers in New Hartford, Pine Mead
ow, Collinsville and Unionville are all
affected by the scarcity of water in the
Harrington river and the several fac
tories have to be closed down every
other day. running but three days in
the week. Upwards of 1000 employees
are affected. The source of the supply
Is in Otis, Mass, and the same manu-
featuring concerns that built the dam
number of years ago still own it and
it is impossible to recall when the wa
ter supply was as low as it is at pres
ent. Among the companies that de-
pend upon the river for motive power
are the Collinsvile Axe company, the
Upson Nut works and two paper mills
at Unionville, the South Cotton mills
an dthe Chaplin Sons rule factory at
Pine Meadow and the Greenwood Cot
ton Manufacturing company at New
Hartford, and all are rushed with or
ders. In this city some Of the firms
that had heretofore depended upon wa
ter power have been forced to resort to
steam in order to get out their emergen-
cy orders.

New One to be Engaged Robinson of
Yale May be Chosen.

Princeton, N. j., Jan. 9.-Captain VIII
cially announced tonight that Trainer
Walter Christie will be released from
training the football team next fall, and
it is probable that he will not be en-
gagged to train the baseball team the
coming spring. He may be retained by
Captain Cregan to coach the track
teamao Christie's method of training
was not satisfactory to the coaches last
fall and during the last two weeks of
the season the coaches took the re-
sponsibility of looking after the teams
condition. A meeting of the athletic ex
ecutive board will be held next week,
at which 1t is expected new trainer
will be engaged. jim Robinson, Yaes
trainer; Max Beutner. of the North
western university, and also a San
Francisco trainer are under considera-
tion.
Captain Cregan announces that
picked team from the regular track
team will be taken to Paris next sum-
mer to compete in the Olympic games.
The members of last years track team
will begin light practice in the gymna-
SUM next week, but regular work will
not be begun until the middle of March.
From the entering class there is consid-
cradle matreial that gives promise of
developing into track form.
Captain Arthur Hillebrand of the
baseball team and Manager Cloney
after a consultation on the subject of
a coach, have decided that Billy Clark
of the Boston league team be asked to
spend a couple Of weeks with the team
during the last Of March previous to the
southern trip. Judging from present
indications Princeton ought to turn out
a good nine. Manager Cloney has ar
ranged for games to be played with the
following teams, but the dates have not
all been decided upon:
New York university, Rutgers, Balti-
more league, Georgetown, University
of Virginia, Fordham, Columbia, Wes-
leyan, Lehigh Lafayette, State Brown,
Cornell, Boston league, Harvard, Yale.
Several requests for games have also
been received from western colleges, but

Boston, Jan. 9.-The will of the late
Robert B. Brigham, the millionaire res
tauranteurs and hotel proprietor, which
was filed for probate to-day, leaves be-
quests in the shape of annuities to
nearly every charitable institution in
the city. Relatives and friends receive
bequests and annuities but considering
the extent of the property which is said
to be valued at $5,000,000 and the large
amount given to charity the gifts to
individuals are mparatively small.
The chief feature of the will is the pro-
vision made for the founding of a hos
pital for incura bles in Boston.

BOSTON BANK AFFAIRS.
Annual Meetings HeId-Lesson Learned
from Recent Fnilures.

Boston, Jan. 9.-The stockholders of
neatly all of the national banks in this
city indicated by their ballots at their
annual meetings to-day their desires as
TO choice of directors for the coming
year Very few changes We're made,
but few good resolutions We're record
ed in view of the lesson presented by
the recent failure of the Globe National
bank and the Broadway bank. The
dropping off of the Globe and Broadway
banks reduces the capital of the twen-
ty-seven banks in the city to $3S, 100000.
Two years ago it was about $50 100000.
Among the more important meetings
was that OF the Massachusetts National
bank at which far-reaching changes
We're made in the officers and directors.
William A. French retires as president
and is succeeded by John w. Weeks,
formerly a director, and well known as
commander of the naval brigade of
Massachusetts,
The most startling change was the
election of Frederick Fl. Curtiss, former
ly cashier of the Broadway National
bank, now in process Of liquidation un
der the orders Of the comptroller of the
currency, to succeed Charles w. Per-
kins, who becomes a director. The
other new list of officers and directors
OF the bank is taken to indicate an i'm
portant revision of the conduct Of its
affairs. Other moves are expected to
be made rapidly. AS natural conse-
quence of Mr.. Curtiss coming from the
Broadway, a great deal of the business
of the Broadway National bank now in
process of liquidation, probably will be
transferred to the Massachusetts, Ma
tonal. Negotiations have been entered
into also looking to consolidation with
at least one of the smaller banks and it
may become a fact within month.
The Massachusetts National bank is
the oldest of the existing Boston banks.
