framed as TO allow of no competition.

that he merely approved as routine

AN UNUSUAL CASE.
Aged oswogo Mans Effort to Protect
 Hts Estate.

Oswego, N. T., March 6.-The most unusual case that has engaged Judicial attention in this city in many years was tried before Supreme Court Justice Wright to-day. Wardwell G. Robinson, seventy-three years old, a leading mem- Der of the bar, president of the Oswego County Bar association, and colonel of the 1S4th New York regiment in the civil war, sued to judcially establish the fact that Louise Simmons, aged fif- ty-six, of Newark, N. J., is not and nev- CT has been his lawful wife. MT. Rob- inson was successful MT. Robinson claimed that she wllfully. fraudulently and for the purpose of scandalizing and degrading him held forth and pretended to be his lawful wife, thus casting a cloud on his estate. Her answer al- legged that she had been Mr. Robinson S wife for thirty-six years and that a daughter now seventeen years old was born of said marriage. MT. Robinson on the state exhibited papers showing that he had paid Miss Simmons $5,800 during the past twelve years and large sums years ago in exchange for a re- lease from any right to his estate. Judg- ment was taken by default, it being agreed that he pay the defendant $500 annually during her life time.

Blind Girl Appeals for tho Blind.

Boston, March 6.--Miss Helen Keller, who although deaf, dumb and blind, is a student at Radcliffe college, address, ed through an attendant, the legislative committee on education to-day in be- half of a bill for the relief of the adult blind. Her message to the committee was 9 feeling one and she urged all possible aid to her fellow unfortunates. She said that the blind did not need the higher education, but did require help in order to take their places in the industrial world. Many prominent people also favored the bill and the hearing was closed.

King Edwards Horse Beaten.

London, March 6.--King Edwards Ambush IT., his majesty's candidate for the Grand National Steeplechase (to be run at Liverpool on March 27), was de- feated to-day in the race for the Grand Military Gold Cup at the Sandown Park steeplechase meeting by his stable com panion, Marpessa. The king drove to the course in a glass-covered motor car in expectation of seeing his horse, which was hot favorite, show consid-s erable improvement over his form at Kempton Park, when on January 30 he. was unplaced in the Stewards steeple-s chase. Ambush IT., however, was only able to run third out of four starters

ENGLISH RAILWAY MANS VIEWS
Little of American System Available for
 Use In That Country.


 Use In That Country.
 London, March 6.--The report of Colo mel H. A. Yorke, chief inspecting off, cer of the board of railways, a depart ment of the board of trade, who recent Iy investigated American railroading in behalf of the board of trade, was is- sued this evening in a blue book. Colo mel Yorke Bound much to interest him in the practical construction of Ameri- can railroads, but decided that compar- atively little of it was available for English use chiefly because the expense of a change would nullify it's advant- ages. He was much interested in the automatic and other mechanical devices, but thought the gain was counterbal- anced by the increased risks to passen- gers and employees, which in the case of automatic signaling might be due to the weather or possibly to the failure of the mechanism. The colonel thinks Great Britain must adopt more economical freight car, but he does not believe it will be advisable to copy the American design. He approves decidedly of the American system of examination for promotion in the railroad service and says that in this respect the American railroads are ahead of the British con- panies.

KIMBERLY AVENUE BRIDGE
SPECIAL MEETING OF ALDER~
 MEN ON THE SUBJECT.

Considered This Important Matter Last Evening at tho Request of Mayor studrey-SIattor Left to Committee on Railroads and Bridges 10 Report Back to Board at Next Regular Meeting Public Hearing-secretary of War Wants Twensy-three Foot Bridge.
 The board of aldermen held special meeting last night to consider the Kim berly avenue bridge matter. The entire board was present, excepting Aldermen sprightly, Conway, Lyman, Bronson, McGill, Jacobs, Hine, Foote and Hilton. The report Of the library directors was referred to the clerk for compila- tion.
 The report of the committee on legis- lation in reference to ward boundaries was then read. Alderman Logan nov ed that the report be adopted. Alder man Allen said he was opposed to the measure on account of the expense. AL dernan Minor then made an amend ment that the matter be laid on the ta- ble. The amendment was lost by vote of 10 to s. The original motion was then carried by vote of 10 to '.
 The following letters were then read by Clerk Martin in reference to the Kimberly avenue bridge matter and will best express the situation In the matter. It was to have the board take action on them that the meeting was called, the first one being 8 communi- cation from Mayor Studiey in reference to them, which. after stating that he had called this special meeting by re- quest of men who had called upon him. and who were to circulate a petition on the subject, announced that he here- with transmitted to the board two let ters from the honorable secretary of war with regard to the proposed Kim ber1y avenue bridge, and also petition from men on the same subject:
 War Department.
 Washington, D. C., Jan. 16, 1903.
 Sir: In the matter of the proposed al- teration of the Kimberly avenue bridge over West river between the towns of New Haven and Orange, Conn.,, I have the honor to advise you that the secre- tary of war has to-day returned the papers of the chief engineer, U. S. army, with the following order: After a full and careful consideration of the case, including a visit to the locality and per- sonal examination of the situation, I am of the opinion that fixed bridge of height sufficient to permit the pass age hereunder of steam tugs and barges, would not constitute an unreas- enable obstruction to navigation and my notice of October f. 1899, served on the city of New Haven and the town of Orange, Conn, requiring them to place draw in the bridge Will be modified accordingly"
 Very respectfully,
 Chief Clerk.
 The Honorable, the Mayor;
 New Haven, Conn.

TRUE BILL AGAINST HER.
Mrs. Manson to be fried for Murder of
 Mrs. Julia Wilson.

Putnam, March 6.-After devoting two days to the examination of wit nesses the grand jury in the superior court tonight brought in a true bill against Mrs. Mary Lillian Manson, charging her with the murder of Mrs. Julia Wilson of Ashford on December 13, 1902. Mrs. Manson's trial will begin here next Tuesday.
 The jury found no indictment against George Wilson, who since the coroner's preliminary hearing, has been held in jail with Mrs. Manson. It is expected that he will be released at once.
 Mrs. Manson is accused of having caused the death of Mrs. Wilson by ad- ministering poison. She is said to have been on particularly friendly terms with George Wilson, one of the sons of Julia Wilson. and lived at the Will son home, taking care at times of the aged woman, who was in feeble health.

GERMAN NAVAL PROGRAMME.
Considerable Mystery Regarding Por-

Considerable Mystery Regarding Por-
 tions of Budget Requirements.
 Berlin, March 6.-The German navy department makes considerable mys- tery out of some portions of it's budget requirements. Herr Richter. the Radi- cal leader, complained in the budget committee to-day that the government is simply asking for lump sums for the maintenance of the fleet and has not even specified the ships or stations on which money is to be spent. He af- firned that the reichstag had the right to have detailed information on the subject. '
 Admiralty Secretary Won Tirpitz re- piled that the information supplied by the navy department was adequate. Administration discretion required some reserve. The increased mainte- nance expenses were largely for ves- sels on foreign service As matter of fact, Germany's battleships were rath- CT behind than in advance of the naval law programme.
 Herr Richter again asked for list of the ships erady to be equipped for service and for copies of the cabinet orders directing the ships to be put into commission.
 Secretary Won Tirpitz declined to fur nish the latter but said he would hand Herr Richter personally list of the ships ready for service.
 The strong German force sent to East Asiatic wates was, Won Tirpitz explain ed, assigned to that station at the re- quest oe the foreign office.

BELONGED IN NEW HAVEN
YOUNG WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN
 NEW YORK.

Went to That City from Chicngo-Taken
 to the Latter Place by n Yale Man Who Belongs to Prominent Family
 Disappointed in Not Becoming Married.
 New York, March 6.-The mystery surrounding the death of the woman whose body was found in a furnished room house on West Thirty seventh street last night was partly cleared to- day by the statement that physician of Roosevelt hospital had examined the body and reported that the woman probably died of natural causes. The woman went to the house on Sunday with a man who said they had come from Chicago. The man paid for the room, and after handing the woman some bottles of dark liquid is reported to have said: Don't forget to take this medicine. You know I am physician. One of the bottles was found empty. The man has disappeared. The police are searching for him.
 The police found an alligator skin reticule among the woman's effects and several bottles of medicine in the reti- cule All the bottles had been found in Chicago on Dr. Hyde's prescription. Several of, them were labelled Miss Fletcher" A class pin with the letters IS. M, '97,'' was found in the reticule. Chicago, March 6.-When interviewed to-day regarding the case Dr. James
 Nevins Hyde os 100 State street, upon
 whose order the prescriptions were f1ll- ed stated that Miss Fletcher called at
 his office February 27, and was treated for slight fever. pr. Hyde was of the opinion that the young lady was em- ployed as house servant, but was un- able to state the name of her employer. The local police say that Miss Nellie
 Fletcher came from New Haven at the instance of @ young man who was a
 student at Yale and is member of a
 well known family in this city. She left Chicago after she had become convinc- ed that their was no probability of her becoming the wife of the young man.
