Boston Millionaipe's Will Has
 Just Been Filed.
DAUGHTER WILL CONTEST IT

The Estate is Worth About Seven Mill
 lion Dolllars-The Man Made a
 Former Will in Which All His Prop
 erty Was Left to His Daughter
 Something Displeased Him So He
 Changed It.
 Boston, March 23.-By the will of the late Arioch Wentworth, the Bos- ton real estate millioaire, which has been filed for probate in Salem, the estate estimated at $7,OoO,00o with the exception of a few annuities, goes to found an industrial school. The Alnz stitution is to be called the Arioch Wentworth industrial school.
 MT Wentworth left daughter, Mrs Willoughby Stuart and two grandsons, W. H. Stuart, Jr, and Wentworth Eric sson the latter the offspring of the daughters first marriage. Their mother. by. the terms of their grandfather's will, is to receive an an nuity of $12, ,OOO and each of the young men is awarded an annuity of $6,OOO. The will was dated last October.
 The action of MT Wentworth, who previously had made will leaving all his property to his daughter, in chang ing the disposition of his wealth, is at tributed to trouble which resulted from certain financial transactions in which MT Stuart, his son-in-law, was involved while acting as British vice consul in Boston last year and because of which MT Stuart was sent to the Mclean asylum for treatment for mental trouble.
 Mrs Stuart will contest the will.

THE BURGLARS ESCAPED.
Bristol Officers Emptied Revolvers
 But Did Not Hit Them.


 Bristol, March 23.-The town was aroused early yesterday morning by the rapid discharge of firearms Cap tain Belden and PatrolInan Guckin, of the police department, shortly after ? o'clock, discovered three burglars in the clothing store of Meder & Go, and in an attempt to prevent an escape, emptied their revolyers after the flee ing men.
 Belden and Guckin discovered two men in the store and immediately took precautions to arrest them Belden went to the back of the store and as he turned the corner of the building bumped into a man standing guard. The stranger after he recovered from his surprise started to run, and Belden drew his revolver and emptied every chamber in an attempt to bring down the man. At the second shot the man halted and. after hesitating for a mo- ment, continued his flight. Belden be- lieyes that he struck the man..
 The revolver shots alarmed the two men at work inside the store and in their eagerness to escape they smashed large plate glass window with a chair and 1eaped drought the hole. Guckin. when he heard the noise in the rear of the building. supposed his captain was in trouble and hurried around to assist him. Thus, when the two burglars reached the street there was no one to stop them. However, as soon as Bel den assured Guckin that he was un- harmed. the policeman started after the burglars and like his captain, fired every shot in his revolver. He was not successful, however. but succeeded in putting two bullets through plate glass window in a store across the street.
 The police have n clew as to the identity of the burglars and hope to make m arrest soon. An overcoat was left behind by one of the men and it was taken possession of by the police.

LOOKING FOR GEN. BRAGG.
Two Cubans Who Did Not Like
 Something He Said.

They Did Not Know That the General
 Had Gone to Hong Kong-Detectives
 Searched Room of the Cubans and
 Found Weapons-They Were Or
 dered to Leave the Town.
 Chicago, March 23.-A dispatch to the Inter Ocean from Fon du Lac, Wis, says: Two Cubans registered at a local hotel yesterday as l.. Alvarez and B. R. Roderuez, and announced that they had come from Cuba to find Gen eral E. s. Bragg, who was formerly consul l-general at Havana and who was removed and sent to Hong Kong be- cause of alleged remarks expressing doubt as to the intelligence of the Gu bans. They did not appear to be bent on a peaceful motive and the police officials were notified. It appeared 10 have escaped the notice of the CuDans that General Bragg had already de- parted for the Orient. While the Gu bans were looking for General Bragg s residence with police on their track, detective searched their room lie found copies of newspapers which con tained references to General Bragg utterance, and three old revolvers were hidden under a mattress. A heavy dagger was lying on the presser.
 Both men were we'll dressed. The two men. while the room was being searched, went to the home of General Bragg and began trying the doors and windows, but soon found that the resi- dence was unoceupied.
 The police ordered the men to leave town unless they could give reasonable excuss for their visiting Fond du Lac. The men at once left the cifv

IHE BURD|Ck INQUEST.
Wife of the Murdered Man Will
 Testify.
hold is Expected to Be An Important Witness-The Inquest Will Probably Be Finished To-Morrow.

Buffalo, N Y., March 23.-The ill., quest into the death of Edwin l.. Bur- dick will be resumed by District At torney Coatsworth and Police Justice Thomas Murphy at 2 o'clock this after noon. Interest centers upon the ap- pearances and testimony of Mrs Alice Hull Burdick the wife of the murdered man. It has been stated by her law yer that she will do all in her power to aid the authorities.
 Other witnesses at the inquest will be Lizzie Romance, the domestic in the Pennell household; the man who took care of the Pennell furnace; George c. Miller, attorney in whose office Pen nell and Burdick had their last meet ing and Alfred Brookman, who took care of the Burdick furnace. These persons may not be able to give any sensational evidence in the case but 1t is hoped they will be able to throw some light on the mystery.
 Whether Miller will divu1ge any thing of interest, however, is doubtful, as he may hold it as unprofessional to repeat any conversation that he might have had with Burdick during yegal consultation.
 Mrs Hull probably will be recalled, though not to-day. The inquest is ex- pected to last through tomorrow.
