Successful Pupils.

The following extracts relate to the efficiency of the musical performances of a couple of Prof, Snodgrass' pupils:
 Miss Bertie Dersham, to whom much credit is due for the success of the concert, is handsome and tal- ented young lady, who gave several renditions with marvellous skill. Her playing has that tmuch-pursued, seldom gained spiritual quality, that feeting soul of music, that somehow imbues with life the wires and keys of cold metal and ivory. But this faculty is born in one, not acquired, as has been said of poetry. She is pupil of Prof Snodgrass, and graduates in the spring. ."-Report of concert given in the Geneseo ull.) Collegiate Institute.
 'The most brilliant performance of the evening was the piano solo by Miss Mary Eberhart. Miss Eberhart pos sesses a talent, the like of which is seldom seen outside of professional cities, and showed by the perform auce that she has thoroughly mastered the art. She is pupil of Prof Snod- grass, and her rendition of Move lette, by Schumann, and the Witches Dance, by Mcdowell, reflected the greatest degree of credit upon her in- structor. Chicago Index.

BOTKIR TRIAL HALTS.
Juror Says He Was Approached and Asked
10 Hang the JuN.

San Francisco March s1.--A surprise
was injected into the Botkin murder case
yesterday when Judge Cook ordered the
jury into custody and declared that he
would take until today TO decide whether
the jury should be dismissed and new
trial ordered.
This procedure was due TO the fact that
ono OF the Jurors. jacob Goetjen. n small
grocer. had declared that he was ap-
preached by n stranger and asked TO
hang the jury. His story. which he told
10 the chief Of police, was that n stranger
called az his place OF business and offeres
him 80 TO hang the Jury. saying that he
had secured four other members OF the
Jury.
No other evidence except Goetjen's word
has yet been found. II the Judge decides
that the trial can go on the Jury will
be under Suveillance until the case is
closed.
The Botkin trial has been going on for
three weeks. and tho prosecution. which
would have closed yesterday. has made
out strong case against the alleged
woman prisoner.

Fitzgerald lived at q Hannah street
with n woman known by the name OF
Mrs. Fitzgerald. 1t is said that her
name was McDermott. The testimony
for the state indicated clearly that Fitz-
gerald was insane when he committed the
crime. His insanity is reported to have
developed as the result of a fall from
car last September. The crime was
committed on December 10th, somewhere
about noon.
Two neighbors OF the prisoner were the
chief witnesses TO the tragedy. IT was a
trial I'm which both sides tried TO get
at all the particulars. for IL became evil

the question OF appeal
In giving his decision Judge eager said
that the letter was dispositive IN charac-
ter and therefore came within the statute
governing Wills. which demands that
every paper that is codicil or testament
tary must be attested by three witnesses.
Although there Is no decision no lawyer
has been bold enough to risk decision on
presenting a paper that was not so at
tested In the present case the court
holds that the admission OF the sealed
letter would override that statute.
In this case, the court said there was
nothing descriptive In the will except
this phrase "The sealed letter which will
be found with my will"
Immediately after the decision was an
nounced Attorney Newton for Mr.. Bryan
asked for an exception 10 the ruling.
Judge Stoddard counsel for Mrs. Bennett,
suggested that the court give a ruling on

would be for the best interest OF the liti-
gants TO get rulings on all points that
could be ruled upon before the case
should go up 10 the supreme court.

SENATOR McKENNA'S REMARKS.
Senator McKenna said he was sorry he
was obliged to take this action. but under
the circumstances he felt justified In call
ing for the bill
Both Democrats and Republicans he
said. were in favor OF the act. the only
opposition to which he said came from
the paid attorney OF the Rhode Island
company
The people Of Lincoln and Cumber-
land the speaker said. ARE not 50
situated that they are willing 10 give up
their rights TO the Rhode Island COM
pany without protest. The bill is fair
IN its demands and is approved by the
people In general"

The speaker continued at consdera ble
length I'm favor OF the bill and was fol-
lowed by Senator Banigan who was also
in favor OF the measure, which I'm effect
makes the cities of Pawtucket and Cen
trail Falls and the towns OF Lincoln and
Cumberland one zone Ior transfer pur-
poses.
Mr.. Banigan said the cities and towns
to which the act applied were practically
one township with compact population
and thought II the bill was not passed II
would be a discrimination against the
town OF Cumberland.
A POINTED REMARK
Senator Thurston said that II seemed 10
him as though the measure should pre-
vail inasmuch as there was no disagree
ment upon IL except by the people en-
ployed to make n protest, by the Rhode
Island Co.
Senator Stiness spoke at some length in
regard 10 the matter. He favored The
support OF the committee by the senate
and did not favor the passage OF the
present act.
Mr.. Banigan said he thought the gentle
man from Warwick could "crawl out of
the smallest hole he ever cav big man
crawl out Of" He. said II apy one could
show him any reason why the committee
should hold the matter for further con-
sideration he would vote against the bill.
1T is not an unreasonable measure,
but one which Is backed UP by the people
OF the merchants of the city Of Pawtucket
and think the matter should be discussed
on the floor Of the senate: that the issue
may be met fairly and squarely and so
that our constituents should have an OPP
portunity TO Judge of our fidelity to their
interest" the speaker continued
