THE DISTRICT COURT.
Attorney Webb Got Verdict for His
 Client in Piano Case.

After two days hard battle the jury in the district court decided late yesterday afternoon the question who owns the piano? Mrs Emma Peafne of New Haven claimed 1t from James Coyne. She had bought it from firm that assigned It's right to Coyne, and he not thinking that she was sufficiently prompt in inak- ing her payments, attached the in- strunert Thereupon Mrs Pearne sued for damages. She had the in- strument three years and thought a good deal of 1t aside from its finan-
 In his argument to the jury Attor- ney Webb, counsel for Mrs Pearne, knocked splinters out of the table. MT Webb was formerly political writer forN the New Haven Register and no doubt he thought he was roasting some good republican when he addressed the jury. A more inn passioned argument was never be- fore heard in the court room. The result was a verdict for his client for $259.21. Attorneys Church and Mears, counsel for the defendant, James Coyr1e, gave notice of appeal. Attorney Webb was a classmate of Judge Peasley, who presided at the rtrial.

EDWARD BLODGET FITS.
Seems No Doubt that He Was Lost
 Overheard During Voyage.

East Windsor. March 22.---The friends of Edward Blodget Fitts, whd took a steamer from Savannah td New York and whose stateroom was found empty on the steamers ar, rival in New York, are busy conduct. ing a search in New York, but so far they have learned nothing definite and the circumstances seem to allow of but one solution and that the young man was lot during the voy- age. The steward says that he was seen on board during the trip.
 He was a young man to whom friends were unusually endeared. In 1895 he was married to Anna M, Snow of Mansfield. Two years be- fore he had graduated at Storrs. His bride was a member of his class. After his marriage he went to Baton Rouge, La. in the employ or the state, to experiment with tobacco, and he was there a year and half. He returned to this place and lived a while before going to New Leba- non. N. Y., where. he had charge of tbe A. s. Harigar Homestead farms. He had been in their employ for seven years and also had charge of their large creamery.
 While home on visit in February he was taken with the grip He was advised to go south and started March 1. He arrived at Savannah March 4 and remained there until March 9. He wrote to his sister say ing. Leave for home tomorrow, the eth. Am having a fine time" Moth ing more was heard until the steam CT reached New York. His wife went to the Lebanon station to meet him. but he did not come. A thorough in- uuiry has followed.

HAMILTON SENDS DEFIANCE.
Caustfc Letter to Mackay, Chairman
 Of Fowler Inquiry.


 of Fowler Inquiry.
 NEW YORK, March 22-The former legislative agent of the New York Life Insurance company. Andrew Hamilton, forwarded to Clarence H. Mackay, temporary chairman of the Fowler (in- vestigatlng) committee of that com pany, a caustic letter, in which he made known his refusal to appear be- fore that committee and at the same time defantly challenged it's members to do their worst.
 The communication is in response to an invitation sent to the judge" soon after his return from Europe, in which he was asked to furnish evidence to tile New York Life's investigating body.
 The judges" letter follows:
 T am replying to the only communi- cation received by me from your body since my return. tia .st
 Tt is doubtless quite evident that by this time you should be yourselves sat isfied that the statements contained in your report of Feb. in regard to your examination of my account are seri- ously wrong and that when you rushed into print in order that you might wear a newspaper halo you had not, as your report incorrectly states, obtained all the information about this subject that is accessible
 Your published interviews, which take to be correct because know the facts so covered. betray startling loss of memory during your deliberations upon the subject of the weekly audit for years of my accounts by some members of your committee and from time to time by other members of the board of trustees.
 q can appreciate that the events of the past week, so far as 1 have partici- pated in them, are not perhaps calcua; lated to put you in judicial state, of mind. I will therefore accept your latest challenge and meet you in a tribunal where there will be no vani- ty to be tickled and the scales will be held on an even balance"

a very lively pace during the present spring Since his last visii here. a few months ago. he las been in Wash inston. New York. Kansas, Idaho. San Francisco. Los Angeles and lots of in terVening points. As the entire country is intervening. he has surely had field enough in which to move around. On leaving here he will go to the coas: and probably back here again. Asked how he lad been amusing himself dur ing recent weeks. he said he had spent considerable time in Kansas. where the reclamation service has a small proj- ect under way The state has about $250,0OO in it's portion of she reclama- ton fund. and the only feasible project that seemed to be available is a pump ing enterprise on the Arkansas river in the vicinity of Garden City where abou, 10000 acres are to be reclaimed. It is not q storage enterprise, but strictly a pumping project. The water is about twelve feet below the surface and ie is designed to dig long canal with series of wells nearby. from which the water is to be pumped. Power will be generated by either gas or steam, but wIich will be used is not yet decided.

to fill the demand. Among other buildings in course of erection is a ho- tel, whicn when completed will occupy q block of ground. Residences that Iare being built in the fashionable part of the city are regular palaces and will be occupied by wealthy eastern people who have been attracted to san Diego by the climate. City affairs are in the
 hands of progressive men. tle fact be- ing made apparent by the kind of ap- paratus in use in the different cisy de- partments. For instance. the street sprinkling carts are automobiles
 All that he saw in San Diego and other coast points, however, was made more pleasing to MT. Cunningham by reason of the fact that in it all ne saw q picture of what, to his notion. Phoe- nix will be in five years hence. He has the utmost confidence in Phoenix and the Salt River valley, and is hard to convince that this section is not destined to be marked by phenomenal advancement. the beginning of which he predicts is near at hand. Even among real estate men and capitalists in Los Angeles, it is conceded that Phoenix real estate is the best to buy in the southwest. Many of them are
 coming here that they may take ad- vantage of tne attractive offerings.

JEALOUS OF boobies WIFE.
New York Woman's Excuse for Flts
Of Extravaganza.

Women dearly love an excuse for
little extravagances, says the New
York Globe. OF course, the masculine
readers Of this column are not expect
ed to indorse this, for, according to
the masculine thought, women need
no excuse" for their extravagances-
they Just have them without rhyme or
reason.
An uptown woman has q charming
excuse for any extra indulgence in
her two-year-old blue-eyed son Bob
bic and Boobies future wife. In trust
for Bobbie is a handsome estate which
gives her great concern because she
feels that she must save and econo-
mize for Bobbie, for Boobies college
education, his European trip, and, "oh,
dear!" she always adds, Boobies
wife," Wearying of a continued spell
of economy, in moment of reckless
extravaganza she'll buy a lot of dear,
delightful things, have her fingers
manicured, her hair shampooed and
take fascinating trips here and there.
And then when her conscience will
prick she'll say. why not? Boobies
wife will, and he won't care how
much it COSTS" And Boobies wife
won't, either. She'll spend joyously
