THE AUGuR WILL CASE.

In the superior court yesterday morn- ing Attorney Hamilton objected to a motion that the second trial of the To- cally famous Augur's appeal from pro- bate be at once assigned for hearing. He said that Judge Deming, who was a principal witness, was absent in the south. At this Judge Zacher, who ap- pears for the defendant, objected stren- uously to any further delay. He said that the case had been in the courts for years and 1t was matter of notoriety to every member of the bar that Judge Deming was looking after his mining interests in Mexico It was a similar matter of notoriety to the members of the Hartford county bar when he was wanted in case there some weeks ago. Judge Zacher insisted that if MT. Ham ilton wished to use Judge Deming as a witness he should procure his deposi- tion. Judge Roraback allowed the case to stand in the order claimed. The es- tate involved is valued at about s100,- GOO, 1t is said

GYPSY LIFE IN WINTER.

Bare-Legged and Bare-Throated
 Youngsters That Like the Cold.
 A bare-legged tot, scarcely more than 3 or 4 years of age, with hopelessly tangled mop of hair and big, blue eyes, toddled out of a tent in Maloott Park yesterday, made it's uncertain way toward Fall Creek, and standing on the snow-covered bank gravely contemplat- ed the cold water. Then, with judi < cial air, it tottered back to the tent and disappeared through the flap.
 There were others in the tent-almost enough to populate small town-Just an ordinary Gypsy family. In one cor ner the father was sprawled with com fort able abandon on aspile of disreputa- ble bedding. pulling at a pipe that had J probably been handed down through many generations and he was appar- entity without care in the world. He is an old patron of the camping grounds about the city, Gus Stanley by name, and as genial and hospitable man as one would care to meet. The mother, plethoric creature, but with traces still of certain type of Gypsy beauty, was busily engaged in an apparently inter- rninable effort to wash the dye out of Dit of red cloth.
 The odd corners of the establishment were filled in by a heterogeneous collec- ton of camp odds and ends and young Ciypsies. No matter where the eye turned it rested on member of the family and an effort to count them only ended in bewilderment. One, girl probably years of age, was busy form Ing circular slabs of dough by the sim pie expedient of skipping them between Ter hands which, by this time, were clean, and, then cooking them in grease-fi filled skillet on the stove.
 It was glorious stove, humble looking affair, made of sheet iron and with real fire in it--no driveling little gas blaze, but general conf1agration of wood that threw out heat in joyous wealth and made the tent as warm as any home in the city and far warmer than the most of them. And yet there are persons in the city, and many of them. who have thankfully huddled about their wretchedly cold stoves, with

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
THOMPSON WILL CASE GOES TO THE
 SUPREME COURT.
Ma tiers In the short Calendar Sossion-- The Augur VIII Case Before Superior Court-Matters in the Common Pleas and City Courts.

The case of Thompson, executor against Emily Leek Betts and others has been reserved in the superior court for the supreme court, which means that the case will not be heard in the superior court, but will go direct to the supreme court for final judgment.
 This is a very important case and has an interest for a large number of persons. There are several defendants, all heirs of Charles E. Thompson, who formerly lived on St. John street and died about a year ago. He left an es- tate valued at $100,000 His will was ambiguously phrased and the case was brought in court to get construction of the will.

 from the cold, and not understanding why they did not evade these cold months by treking to the South. "Cold?" echoed Stanley adroitly bal

 Sit down and get warm. Not much
 danger of getting cold as long as the wood lasts and the whole outside is our
 woodpile,' and he gave a comprehen-
 sive wave of his hand toward the woods
 that surround the camp.
 We tried going South several years
 ago. but the women folks get sick, and
 we've staid in the North for the last

 would feel 1t much. Looks at Jim

And the rest of the children seemed equally lightly cad-all with their waists or shirts open at the throat and some even harefooted
 Now we spend our winters in the North" continued Stanley, "either in Ohio, Indiana or Illinois. Indiana is the best State. though an quick smile from his wife corroborated the state ment partly on account of the better roads in the State and partly for busi- ness reasons" with a portentous look {" cause people in the State seem to like to have their fortunes told and that's where we make most of our money, especially in the winter-nothin doing in horse trading then. How many children have I?''
 The question seemed to be something of poser, for he turned to his wife with a puzzled look and after some in Hungarian answered, Twelve and two married married sons. IleTe are i've 1dIlilileS, edCH one with a tent, and twenty-six people al- together in this crowd. The other peo- pie down there got here about a month ago, two or three days before we did.

WAS AN OLD INDIAN REMEDY.

The Violet Cancer Cure Known to Iro-
 quois Long Time Ago
 An English physician has aroused discussion by an assertion that he has discovered cancer cure in the leaves of the violet Whether he is right or wrong, it is interesting to note that to the American Indian the violet cure is as old as his people.
 The first study of the Iroquois Indian child is to learn natures medicines. To this end it becomes the duty of the mother to take him to the woods and show him the leaves, blossoms and roots of all curative and poisonous plants.

BREAK IN OPERATORS

Wall Street Hears That Some VIII
Make Terms With Miners.
New York. Oct. 9.--Wall street gave
voice to rumors yesterday that there
had been break in the ranks Of the
coal operators. and that some are
preparing TO mine coal on a large
scale after effecting a settlement with
their miners The rumors are un-
doubtedly the outgrowth of Tuesdays
conference of operators. While Presi-
dent Baer, Of the Reading. and Presl-
dent Olyphant. OF the Delaware and
Hudson, say there is no change in the
situation so far as a settlement of the
strike Is concerned, It was stated in
Wall street that some OF the operators
are firing Of the attitude taken by Mr..
Baer and want TO resume.
All OF the operators have been given
10 understand by Mr. Morgan. so It is
said, that inasmuoh as Governor Stone
has made good" on the question OF
protection by the militia, they are ex-
pected to mine the coal Some Of the
operators are not confident about do
, ing this In view of the attitude Of the
miners in holding out, It Is further re
ported. and are beginning to think
that It is time 10 compromise.
