QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER" TO BE
PRESENTED TODAY


QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER" TO BE
PRESENTED TO-DAY.
Quincy Adams Sawyer and Mason's
Corner Folks dramatization Of
Charles FELTON, Pidgin's we'll known
novel of the same name, which was pre-
scented at the Academy of Music, New
York, last August to it's capacity, turn
ing away people nightly, will begin an
engagement at the Hyperion to-day, at
the bargain municipalities Is cents
and so cents-and at night, with the
same identical cast of characters and
production. Without entering into any
long description of the stage story, at
tention is called to the central thread
of the plot, which, in the play as in the
book, has reference to the behavior Of
a young Boston lawyer seeking rest and
regeneration in the country, and the
conduct of his rural associates. Read
ers of the novel will find that the dra-
matist has fairly well followed Mr.. Pid-
gins story, making allowance for the
necessary transpositions Of time and
place to make the events coherent and
cumulative.
The scenes include the interior of
Benoni Hills grocery store, the cross
roads between Eastboro and MasOn's
Corner, and Mrs. Putnam's settin'
room at Putnam farm the Pettingill
farmyard, showing an old-fashioned
husking bee in the great barn, and,
finally, the exterior and interior of the
Pettingill homestead during an old
fashioned New England snowstorm.
OF the sentimental features the most
interesting and affecting, it may be
said, concern Mr.. Sawyer and Alice
Pettingill, the blind girl, who, through
his good offices, has her restored and
finally is married to him.
The cast this year is very nearly the
same as last in fact, there are but two
changes from last seasons list of great
favorites. These are Miss Marian Chap
man. who now has the prominent role
of Miss Linday Putnam, and Robert
Kelley, who plays the part Of Zeke
Pettingill. Charles Dickson will be seen
as Quincy Adams Sawyer, Louis Hen
bricks as Obadiah Strout, Corliss Giles
as Arthur Hastings, Charles Dow Clark
as Hiram Maxwell, E. Fl. Stephens as
Abner Stiles, Burton Adams as Deacon
Mason, Miss Helaine Hadley as Alice
Pettingill Che bind girD, Miss Lillian
Dix as Mrs. Putnam, Miss Gertrude
Augarde as Samantha Green, Miss Ann
Hathaway as Hubby Mason and Miss
Sadie Connolly as Mrs. Crowley.
The entire production is new this sea-
son, and the performance to be given
here will be the same as in the New
York in every detail, and Boston runs.
Seats now on sale. Night prices, 81, Is
cents, so cents and Is cents.

dering thc Money-Attempied Mur-
derer NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Pro-
ceedtnSs-Other Legal Iiems,
In the case of William E. Davis ct al.
VS.. Mrs. Silvia A. Ives of North Haven
Judge Thayer, in the superior court,
handed down his decision for the de-
PENDANT with the costs of the suit to be
paid by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs,
who are brick manufacturers in this
city, allege that George w. Ives, the
brick manufacturer, owned half in
terest in five pieces of land in Hamden.
A mortgage to secure the payment of
the debt of S1.497.25 was given to the
defendant. After giving the mortgage
George w. Ives was declared bank
rupt, and Representatives. Frank I.
Stiles of North Haven, was appointed
trustee on June "a. 1902
Mr.. Stiles, after his appointment, ex-
ecuted a deed of conveyance Of all the
interests of George w. Ives in the prem
Uses to Davis Brothers. On June %,
1901, the plaintiffs rendered to the de-
4CIudut the dIIlUuuL Oh the mortgage
debt. Mrs Ives refused to accept the
tender and proceeded to foreclose the
mortgage and thereby acquired abso-
lutte title to the property on July 1.
1901. In this action the plaintiffs claim
ed judgment allowing them to redeem
the mortgage and an injunction re-
straining the defendant from disposing
of the property was issued. The de-
PENDANT alleged that the deed from
Trustee Stiles to tie Davis Brothers
was given without the authority of the
referee in bankruptcy and that the sale
thereof has been disapproved. Also
that the plaintiffs therefore had no
right to redeem. Judge Thayer in the
memorandum of his decision says, the
burden of proof is on the plaintiffs
in proving that they are the owners of
the mortgaged premises. This they fall
ed to do and the referee in bankruptcy
has disapproved of the sale and they
have failed to show title to redeem any
equity in the property. He therefore
rendered a decision in favor Of the de-
PENDANT with costs of the suit, thus up
holding the decision of the lower courts.

Pacihc-supposed to Have Pers-hed -
Recovery of the Captain from His
Woumds-The Second Officer Killed.
Queenstown, Dec. 5.-The British
ship Leicester Castle, Captain Peattie,
from San Francisco July 26, arrived
here to-day. Her commander reported
that on September three American
seamen mutinied, and Captain Peattie
and his second officer were shot, the
latter fatally, after an encounter with
the mutineers. who left the ship on a
raft in mid-ocean.
Captain. Peattie gives the names of
the mutineers as W. A. Hobbs, from
Illinois, Ernest Sears. from Idaho, and
James Turner, from Portland, Oregon.
They were all shipped in San Fran
cisco.
The second officer, Mr.. Nixon, was
shot while attempting to rescue the
captain. In the darkness the mutineers
got a few planks and coops, formed a
raft and launched it from the ship,
which was then about 300 miles north
of Pitcairn Island. The captain search
ed for the raft the next day, but it was
not sighted, and it was surmised that it
went to pieces.
Captain Peattie added that Hobbs
was the actual murderer of Nixon,
whom he shot through the heart The
captain himself was shot twice, but he
hau quite recovered when he arrived
here.
When the first officer discovered that
the three men had mutinied he muster
ed the rest of the crew on the poop, in
tending to await daylight and then at
tempt to capture the mutineers, but the
latter had escaped in the interval. They
took provisions enough on the raft to
last them q week.
The captain is unable to account for
the mutiny. He supposes it was the
intention of the mutineers to murder
the officers and the men who refused to
join them, and take the ship to Pitcairn
Island.
Pitcairn Island is a solitary island in
the Pacific ocean, situated in about lat
itude rs south and about longitude 100
west. 1t is two and a quarter miles in
length and has but one landing place,
at Bounty Bay. The island is famous
as the scene of the foundation in 1890
of a remarkable colony composed of
mutineers from the British warship
Bounty.

The short calendar list in the superb
or court was very long yesterday morn
ing on account of no session being held
last week.
The much talked-of contest by the
Hoadley brothers, of Waterbury, to
the will of Henry Bradley Plant, who
left a $16,000,000 estate, came UP. Col
onel Burpee of Waterbury, who repre-
sents the contestants, made application
for leave to amend his complaint as
filed.
Il understand" said Mr.. Burpee,
THAT one of the defendants has agreed
to the motion, and I don't know about
the others"
At this POINT Attorney shipman, of
Hartford for the estate, arose and said:
I'VE propose to contest the motion. The
matter is ready to be heard" Attor-
ney Shipman spoke very sharply.
The claim of the Hoadleys is that the
estate is not being carefully cared for
and that the widow is squandering
money for beneficent purposes in which
Catholic institutions figure largely. The
Hoadleys are sons of a half-brother of
the deceased H. B. Plant. Along this
line Colonel Burpee has. new evidence
he desires to embody in the complaint.
Judge Thayer has reserved his decision.
James J. Geary's fight for extra
money for work on the Grand avenue
drawbridge is still on. Yesterday morn
ing at the short calendar Judge Hotch-
kiss, appearing for Geary, offered re-
monstrance to the supplemental report
of the committee. This would give
Geary about $1,000. He wanted $4,000.
The city, represented by Incorporation
Counsel Ely, urged that the committee
report be finally report.

Thomas Terriss, the we'll known Eng
fish manager, has arranged to produce
it in London and the British provinces.
In "A Fight for Millions" the old con-
ventional ideas have been discarded and
in their place are substituted new
scenes and situations. There are spec
tacular effects of the most elaborate
character, and some of these have new
er been witnessed heretofore on any
stage. The wonderful submarine boat
at the bottom of the Hudson river and
the wireless telephone may be cited as
notable novelties that have created the
most widespread newspaper comment.
There are nine scenes in all to the play,
and every thing connected with the elab-
crate production is carried. 1t Is one
of the most expensive ever witnessed
at popular prices, and the cast numbers

ven public through The Brownies.
He will be here to personally supervise
