TOO MUCH WORK FOR

There ought TO be some way by which
members Of the Cabinet could be reIiev-

Major Clark Finds it Impossible to With draw Resignation. The special meeting of the Second com. pany, Governors Foot Guard, held In their armory last night to hear the report of the committee recently appointed to endeayor to persuade Major Clark to withdraw his re cent resignation as major of the company was very well attended.
 The committee, through it's secretary, Captain D. A. Gessner, reported that the entire committee had waited on Major Clark and presented the wishes of the company respecting his resignation. Major Clark stated that his resignation was made purely TOT business reasons, and especially so be- cause of the fact that his time was so much taken up out of the city. Ih's fact made It Impossible to give the company the proper amount of attention, and hence the resigna7 ton was Imperative. In consequence, de spite desire, for personal reasons to re main at the head of the company, 1t was absolutely necessary that his resignation be presented and acted upon by the governor
 In the matter of acceptance the company has no power, thls being entirely at the disposal of the chief executive of the state. The resignation is dated to take effect on June 20, and after being signed by Governor Mclean then there will be an order for nominations and election of a successor. Until ssuch time these Is nothing to be done by the company.
 There are several members of the com pany who would make admirable command ing officers, but as yet the consideration of a successor has not been entered into. There IS possibility of some one not at presen. connected with the company belug ehosen to fill thls responsible and honorable rosi- ton.

 The men came to this city Friday and took rooms at the Davenport hotel.

After stealing the books he broke in- to the station at Hadley and there used the ticket stamp to date them. After the robery Inspector Guilty was assign ed to the case with the above named re- suits.
 The fact that after breaking into the stations and securing the books he broke into the station at Hadley to
 stamp them shows that Bailey was not
 a green hand at the business, and
 many of the robberies which have been perpetrated at the smaller stations of
 the road may in time be traced to him.
 The officials of the road say that the
 man has more nerve than any other
 station thief they have yet had to deal
 with, and they will punish him to the full extent of the law.
 Much praise is given to Inspector Guilty for his good work.

DENIED A NEW TRIAL.

Judge Thayer of the superior court heard arguments yesterday on the mo- ton of Attorney James H. Webb, that the verdict of the jury in the Dore- Babcoclz case be set aside and new trial ordered. The motion was argued for about an hour. When the lawyers were finished the judge announced inn medlately that the motion was denied,
 Attorney Webb has already filed a notice of intended appeal to the su- preme court He did this immediately after the verdict went against him.
 Mr. Webb's argument in support of his claim for a new trial was that the jurys verdict was contrary to the evi- dence submitted.
 This is the oil case in which three trials have taken place, the supreme court ordering new trials twice.

 Shortly after o'clock yesterday af- ternoon hearing on the estate of the late Andrew J. Doolittle was held in the probate court, and it lasted over two hours, Judge Cleaveland holding court over for half an hour in order to hear the last witness who was sum moned from Hamden. MT Doolittle, who was a wealthy Hamden man, died May s, and in his last will all of his estate with the exception of $2,000 and the homestead in Hamden was left to his second wife, and it is for this DOT tion that the heirs are suing. A large number of them were in court yesterday and the hearing was a spirited one, A. Heaton Robertson representing Mrs. Doolittle, and Newton, Church and Hewitt, represent the heirs
 Mir. Doolittles second wife was the widow of John Adt, and she is reputed to be worth over $50000. The heirs claimed that MT. DoolIttle was not in his right mind, when he drew up the last codicil of the will leaving his widow the amount stated above and it was on this point that most of the testimony was given during the hearing. Judge Robertson had a number of witnesses, Including Dr. Thomas, who always att tended to MT Doolittle. the three sign CTS of the codicil, Ellsworth B. Cooper, the lawyer who drew it up, and others on the stand to show that MT. Doolit- tie was in his right mind when the pa- pers were drawn. The three signers of the codicil were Jennie l.. Swain, Eneas Warner and Walter J. Hayles. These three and the others stated that MT. Doolittle was feeble when the pa- pers were signed, but that there was nothing the matter with his head. They were sharply cross-examined by MT. Newton. Albert A. Doolittle and his sister and three or four of MT. Doolit- ties mind had been failing for the past three years and that when he signed the papers he was not responsible for what he was doing. The testimony was interesting and the court room was well filed
 The arguments were concluded about 515, each lawyer taking about five min utes.
