 The Miller family victims were found in their home by the police and were hurried to the hospital. Mrs Miller died on the way. Her younger child was dead before removal by the police. The older child died soon af- ter arriving at the hospital. Miller will probably die.
 In hurrying the victims from the house. Police Sergeant William Sauer slipped on the icy sidewalk and broke his left leg. He was taken to q hos pital in the same ambulance that car ried Miller.
 Mrs Miller appeared to have made q terrific struggle for life Her head was almost severed from her body, there was q cut four inches long in the back of her head and q six inch ash near her heart. She had also re- ceived a bullet through her lungs.

CROkER MUST GO
Opposition to the Hing at 1he Newmarket Sales
 The Cause Of It,

London, Jan. 11.-A serious scandal promises to develop in racing circles as result of the Jockey club action in interdictinS Richard Croker from training his horses at NewmarKet The history of the affair given out by Mr Croker is that when at the New market sales in September Mir CrOker appeared as bidder for certain year lings he was informed that he was opposing Lord Marcus Beresford who it is well known has entire charge of King Edwards racing stables. This did not deter Mr CrOker and it was suggested to him that if he insisted in competing he would not be allowed to train his horses at Newmarket. Mr
 Ioker however, was not influence claiming that hIS cunuuct was not dis courteous as he was dealing through an agent who did not know his ad- yersary ill the transactions and mere ly carried out his instructions.
 In an interview in Dublin Mir Croliar said he waS St!il cU.up!etely ill the dark regarding the whole matter and expressed astonishment at the fact that the stewards did not give a reason for their action.
 A newspaper to-day says Mir Croker intends to sell his residence at Wan tage, England. For some months past he has been living in Ireland where it is reported he will reside altogether hereafter.

LETTER OF PROTEST.
Method of Collecting Customs A
 Cuba Ctj.ete6 To.

New York. Jan 11.-A letter protest ing against the methods of collecting customs at Cuban ports outside of Ha. vana has been forwarded to President Palma at the Cuban capital. It wa. signed by many of the largest houses III the export trade. The signers assert t!,at tue excuses made by customs ofti- cials for requiring amended invoices on goods from American ports have be- come So trivial that they will no longer submit to them.
 in asking President Palma to take the matter up. the exporters say:
 We respectfully protest against thc arbitrary rulings of collectors !n cases of slight clerical rrrorS on ;bc partN,pf shippers. insignificant omis- siOns h- palpablc mistakes in the rcduc ton of pounds to Kilograms twheTe the sotual aud trae weight is stated in prIIndsi. the exaction of original man. u.actureTs' invoices when the goods arc shipped through commission, houses.
 We also protest against the diverse aud contradictory rulings in diiterent ports of Cuba. each collector being T law unto himself ."Tbcse cnerous eSactions are pTeju- dicial nuf only to commeryc. but they militafc to tho injury ot the revenue.

TINkERING WITH THE
 CHARTER--AMENDnENTS
Waterbury Should Take Lesson from Other Cities on The Sidewalk and Other Questions-In Worcester the City Builds and Takes Care of Its Sidewalks. the Same as It Does of Its Streets

rent walks where public necessity and convenience do not demand them nor the value of the land warrant the out lay.
 The sidewalk question holds prom.
 rent place ill the city charter of Wor- cester, It is quite different in Water bury and we have the results. The. city officials never gave the matter the attention it demands. This is DO grind on the present administration. It applies to the past as well as to ths future, hut it would seem that we should be forging ahead in this re spect as well as in other things. We want parks and we must have them. We cannot get along without a sewage disposal system and an abundance oI water. We want good streets for the various kinds of vehicles that find it necessary to use them and it goes with out saying that the great army of pedestrians should be provided with suitable sidewalks. All these are pull-
 lie matters and the public should pay something for such uses as they put them to. It may be all well enough to have tenants and owners get together and clean the walks and put saud ob them from time to time because 1t would be very difficult to attend to them in any other way, but the ad- jnstment of the cost of construction and maintenance as well as the charac. ter of the material to be used is sim pie and needs nothing but q disposition, to do what's right on the part of the city officials to give sidewalk law which would be fair to all.

WANT THE LAND.
The Railroad Company Is Taking Steps to Get
 More Property.

The Consolidated Railroad Co has begun condemnation proceedings against about 112 owners of property running from Fifth street in the Brooklyn district to far up on the Wa terville road in the west end. All con cerned have been cited to appear be fore the railroad commissioners in the court house building next week.
 According to the plans it seems the railroad will turn the west end of the city upside down. It proposes to buy up q part of the property known as Wards flats on Bank street, one-half of the north end of Fifth street and all of Jackson street. The western part of Meadow street will be GOV. cred in by an elevated road, tlle refrig. orators and lumber yards in that vi cinity will be done away with Judd and Crane streets will be wiped out. "Seeryvillc" on the Watervillc road will be raZed. and the Watervile road will run clear into West Main street. The kilmartin estate on West Main street, James Henebry's property, and his neighbours, Patrick Germans, are needed in this vast projected i'm. provement. Edward McGrath is among those cited to appear before the railroad commissioners. Also the Seerys in the west end.
 Mattatuck street will he done away with, as most of the property owners there are involved. Places familiar in xl.. l. ... out and great arc the changes p.,- posed. The papers Tn the matter were served to-day on all the property owners on the line of the proposed changes.

PLATT.ELIAS ROW.
The Closing Scenes of This Bis Sen.
 sat.on Drawing Near.

New York, Jan 1.-The final stage i'll the struggle for possession of nearly three-quartcrS of million dollars De- tween John k. Platt. an aged million airc and Hannah Elias, negress who, he charges, wrongtlnly oDtarned tue money from him, was scheduled to be- gin before Justice Bischotf in the su- preme court today. In this suit it was expected that the whole amazing story of the affair which attracted the attention of the entire country when the secret of Platt's relations with the woman were revealed by the fling of his suit last summer would be brought out. .,. .. .s ,.
 Interest in the case was intensified from the first by the strange and tragic death of Andrew Fl. Greene, one or the city's most prominent men, who was shot to death almost at the door Of the Elias woman's home on Central Park West q few months before the Platt suit was filed. Greens murderer. negro, who was captured and later sent to an insane asylum, said he had shot Mr Green because he was jealous s. With the filing of the Platt suit the contention of Mir Greens friends that he was victim of mistaken identity when the fatal attack was made, was practically proven. There was re- markable similarity in personal ap- pearance between MT Green, and Mir Platt and Mir Platt hin
 that he Dehe,es the insane negro in- tended to kill him and mistook Mir Green for him.
 Mrs Elias maintains that the vast sum named in Platt's suit was given to her voluntarily by Platt--that he lit erally threw money to her. She has told of one instance when, she says. after pressing Ter to take q large sum which she refused, he threw a great handful of bank notes on the floor and she had q servant gather them up on 8 dustpan.
 On the other hand Platt claims that the defendant rcsorted to every trick her ingenuity could command to ex- tort from him during the twenty years of their acquaintance.
 There the matter stood when the case was ready for trial to-day.
 Though the prosecution of Mrs Elias before Magistrate Ommen. last June failed utterly. Platt's attorneys said they looked for more success when the complainant goes on the stand at this trial. Mir Platt is now S7 years old and very feeble.
 In the first trial his memory seemed aln>"st entirely shattered aud when pressed by tGlnse' for Mrs Elias he could nor n';tinioil any statement Ge had made even but few minutes be fore. He seemed completely bewil- dcred.
 It was believed that the ordeal which will confront him when he goes op the stand in the present trial of the suit will be even more severe than that in the magistrates court.

RCONEY.WO0LWORTH.
Suit for $l0,G00 Began In The Supe
 rior Court Room.

Margaret Rooney's case against Frank W. Woolworth X Co. for Sl0.- GOO damages for injuries received, be gan in the superior court thIs rcre- noon. Attorneys John and Susan O'Neill appeared for the plaintiff and Attorney Pierce for the defendant. This case will probably occupy the balance of the week. Besides proving the injuries received, plaintiff will also have to show that the alley run ming in the rear of Bank street from Harrison avenue to Center street WAS a public highway in 1899, the tune she sustained the injuries complained of.
 About tifty-fvc witnesses have been subpoenaed. among them being half q dozen newSpapermen, civil engi- neers. local capitalists, politicians, bus mess people, some of the oldest resi- dents of the city and q few eX-otfice holders.
 The plaintiff was kitchen hand in the Scovill house and the defendant's s store was where Grieve. Bisset X Hol- land are now doing business. It ap- pears to have been her custom that when she needed anything in the de. fendant's line of business. to enter his store by the door in the alley to make her purchase, and left by the same way. One evening in June in 1899 she had made q purchase ill tho store and was leaving by the rear entrance when she fell into a cellar way, care lessly left open by the defendants clerks. She claims to have suffered very much. Once she was given T verdict for Si.0O. hut the supreme court set it aside on the grounds of error.

WANT MONEY.
Hebrew Depositors at New York Wait Outside
 Bank all Night.

New York, Jan 1I.-Five hundred excited Hebrews who had deposits in the State bank in Grand street waited at the doors of the bank all night last right and early to-day. More than a thousand persons were waiting anX- ioGsly to withdraw their deposits. Since daylight the number of excited depositors had doubled and police re serves had been called out to maintain order in the crowd. The run on the
 bank which began yesterday afternoon was resumed as soon as the doors were opened to-day. The trouble began yes terday from q rush of depositors to place their money in the bank. The eNcitable small depositors of the eas. side misunderstood the nature of the rush to the bank and. mistaking it for
 d run. joined in and began to take out
 their money. The bank officers at first
 tried to explain the situation and then accepted it and paid out So5.000 yester- day afternoon.
 | At midnight an attempt was made.
 to reassure the anxious crowd of night
 watchers. but they paid little attention
 to an address in Yiddish by sam
 Cohen. the ianitor of the bank After
 the beginning of the run yesterday the bank officers made preparations to meet a renewal of it to-day and were
 ready to pay over the money cheerfully when it was begun again. A truck load of canvas sacks, said by the cash. l fer of the State bank to contain S4O0,- 1 GOO in gold. arrived at the bank this
 morning and a squad of policemen who preceded it cleared a way through the throng to place it in the bank. 1 The arrival of the money did not stop the run and the depositors pushed their way into the bank to make their withdrawals.
 1 A. J. Voorhees,, the cashier of the State bank, said This is only an or
 dlnary run among the small depositors and will soon be over. We are ready
 to meet every demand. Money is very | cheap and we will have no trouble in 1 getting S4,0G0,00O in an hour. I do not believe we shall need it. however The SiO0,0OO from the sub-treasury shows
 what we can do. We have in deposits
 about S1O.50O,O0O, representing the
 saving of 1000 or 5000 persons. We l have about S7,00O000 out on loans, q surplus of S7j0.O00 and cash reserve
 of S4,0G0,000. There is absolutely notf- ing the matter with the bank. The de.
 rositOrs will be bringing back their
 money tomorrow and we depositins l it."
