LAWLOR CASE EVIDENCE.
Citizens Say Good Word for the
 Late Father Lawlor.

The hearing in the Lawlor will con- test was resumed to-day at Il o'clock in the superior court before the jury and Judge Roraback. This made the seventh day of the hearing.
 Peter Lecours was the first witness called to-day. He knew Father Law Tor very we'll, he said, and did a goou deal or painting and paper hanging for him and considered him good business man. Frederick B. Rice tes- tified in similar strain. William J. Schlegel denied he ever made state ments derogatory to Father Lawlor's reputation. Witness knew Father LaWlor about fifteen years and was hls neighbor on North Main street for five or six years and during that period was frequently in bis house
 Edward l.. Frisbie, 47 Cooke street, was a very strong witness for the will. He said he knew Father Lawlor when he was 8 young man and that during the last few years Of his life became very well acquainted with him. Father Iawlor, he said, was very ambitious property wise, and was very sanguine about Waterbury real estate values, particularly corner lots. 'sIe was a shrewd, careful business man. said MT Frisbie, land had great deal of intellectual ability"
 Other witnesses who testified in the same line were Albert Schunlaker. treasurer of the Brass City Lumber Ss Coal Go, Samuel F. Williams, ex-May- or Thomas D. Barlow, Martin Scully, Of the Democrat, and former commits sioner of the board of public works.
 Michael Guilfaile recalled calling at FatherLawlor's once and no one re sponded to the bell. He did not re- member, however, going across the street and seeing one of the McEyoy boys at window and going to the house again and ringing the bell.
 Father Lawlor told witness that only for the McEvoys he could scarce ly get along, and in September, 1903. he told him that he had taken care of Martin and Frank in his will. He was positive his visit with Chris Law Tor to the house was made in the evening. and he was equally positive that even during his college days Father Law1or had trouble with his chest and throat and he was very of- ten sick in that way during the latter years of his life. Sometimes he would be laid up for weeks at time.
 Witness frequently used the expres- sion two or three years ago. refer ring to the last time he saw Father Lawlor sick abed. MT O'Neill tried to get him to say that was three or four years ago, but witness insisted it was two or three.
 MT Williams objected and and MT O'Neill claimed witness did say three or four years ago and quite storm arose between the lawyers and the court had to intervene to qllell 1t. He shouted to the counsel three or four times before they sat down
 Mrs Rose Finn testified that the day Michael Iawlor was taken sick Mrs Mary A. Lawlor, his wife, came home as speedily as possible. reaching town that evening. Father Michael f1,- Givney did not telegraph for her; only one telegram was sent Mrs Patrick Holnfan and Mrs John Gal win. her mother were not there. Of this she was positive.

CORNICE BROKE.
Women Who Were Fleeing From Fire Precipitated
 to Ground.

New York, Nov 22.-Three women were probably fatally hurt and five firemen were injured severely in a blaze that destroyed two buildings in Brooklyn early to-day.
 The fire started in the cellar of a drug store at Fulton and Adelphi streets. Three upper floors were occu- pied by three families consisting of fif- teen persons.
 The flames spread upward so quick aroused by the smoke and cracking flames they found all escape by the stairways had been cut off.
 Bella Hill, Florence Seabrook and Hetta Richardson, all of whom live on the fourth floor, made their way down one story and out on to ,cornice. Mrs Seabrook had her baby in her arms. The cornice gave way beneath the combined weight of the women and they were precipitated to the ground.
 Mrs Seabrook clasped the infant to her bosom in such a way that when she struck the sidewalk the little one escaped injury. The women were hnr- r1edly carried to a hospital where their injuries were pronounced probably fa- tai.
 Eight families, comprising thirty four persons, escaped or were rescued from a building adjoining the drug store, before the house was destroyed. The firenen displayed great bravery in the work of rescue and two of them fell from swerving ladder two stories above the street. Three others were badly cut by falling debris, The f1nan- cial loss was small.

SNOW IN ALL
 PARTS OF KINGDOM

London, Nov 22 2.-Keen frost and heavy snow squalls are reported from all parts of the. United Kingdom. A gale ragged all night long over the coasts, driving vessels to shelter ana seriously dislocating the telegraph wires. especially in the north of Eng, land and Scotland Binding snow storms are causing deep drifts and rendering traffic difficult in the coun, try districts and are necessitating. a cessation of outdoor work in many of the provincial towns. In London lit tie snow has fallen, but sharp fall III temperature is .aecentuating the dis tress among the poor which is already prevalent. The snow is so deep at Chatsworth that the king of Portugal and others of the house party there have been prevented from shooting. Some of the small craft have been wrecked. Up to the present November had been unusually mild and the sud den change is causing much misery. Wintry weather seems general i'll ElI- rope, frost being reported so far south as Naples.
 Tn Westmoreland the unusual sight was seen of trains stuck in snow drifts and blocking communication on the Northwestern railroad. The race meet ing at Warwick had to be postponed, as the track was deeply covered with snow.
 The land lines in Ireland are af> fected, causing delay in communica- tion with America. The lifeboats are busy. but the most serious wrecl. so far reported is that of the British steamer Indianic, from River Plate, via Madeira, which was driven ashore on the rocks near Sunderland The life savers took off the crew.

HOME WRECKED.
Bomb Placed Under House of a Prominent Omaha
 Lawyer.

Omaha, Neb, Nov 22.--The home of Elmer E. Thomas, prominent law yer of this city, and attorney for the Civic federation, was wrecked by a bomb placed on the front porch early to-day. NIT Thomas and his family were in the house at the time and he considers it miraculous that none of them was injured.
 Mrs Thomas was awakened by a noise on the front porch and aroused her husband, believing that burglars were trying to enter the house. MT Thomas began an investigation and discovered a fire on the front porch. He picked up a large rug and att tempted to smother the flame when a terrific explosion occurred Although but few feet from the missile he es- capped injury. The front wall of the house was blown in, doors were shat tered and an immense hole torn in the ground. The interior of the building is wreck.
 A squad of police were on the scene in a short time but no clew to the per- petrators of the deed could not be found. The man evidently made a hasty escape after setting the fuse which exploded the bomb. MT Thom- as saw no one leaving the premises. The explosion was heard for three miles.
 Attorney Thomas has been active for some time in the prosecution of saloon keepers charged with viola tion of the Sunday closing laws. He also has been acting for the civic fed- eration in the habeas corpus proceed ings by which Thomas Dennison has sought to avoid being taken into Iowa in connection with the $75. 900 Pollack diamond robbery.

RUSSIANS CONTINUE TO
 SHELL TAPS POSITION
Poutilof Hill Is Now the Center of the Warning Arm. ies--Japanese Advanced Within Fifty Yards of the Russians-Th Fire That net Them Was Deadly and They Were Forced to Make a Halt.

Mukden, Nov 9. via Tien Tsin, Nov 22-Since the Japanese attack on Pou- tilof hill on the night of Novemer 1S, no activity has been apparent. The character of the attack on Poutiloff hill is not fully understood beyond the fact that three or four battalions par ticipated. 1t probably was made on the initiative of the local commander without the consent of headquarters, and as an attack 1t can only be favOra. bly regarded in the light of a recon, naissance in force. This incident is the most important that has happened since the battle of Shakhe. Poutiloff hill, which is now the center of inter est of the entire line, could be seen flashing signal. of attack from her for tifcations as the Japanese infantry ad. vapced.
 On account of repeated reports that the fJapanese intended to attack on November 19, this assault was believed to be the signal for an advance of the entire line. and consequently the en tire Russian army. on the qui yive, began its own hostile movements, both east and west of Poutiloff hill.
 The Japanese arrived within fifty yards of the Russian trenches. The Russian ire was too deadly for fur. s,ler advance. The next morning dis closed about eighty Japanese dead, l which the Russians hurled yesterday. The Japanese succeeded in carrying off in haste POO wounded. The Rus sians lost half dozen men in the trenches.
 Scouting operations on both sides re- suited in daily encounters sometimes between the battalions, but the en- counters are little more than skir- mishes, The scouting IS for the eyi dent purpose of identifying opponents positions and local strength.
 The Russians continue daily to shell the Japanese position at Linsheppu.
