THE RICE ESTATE.
Long Wait for Attorney-Hearing
 Goes Over Again.

Goes Over Again.
 After waiting almost the entire forenoon in the probate court, the hearing on the account of Franklin A. Taylor administrator on the es- tate of the fate A. E. Rice began at 11:3O o'clock, before Judge Lowe. The delay was occasioned by the non-appeararce of Attorney Stoddard of Bridgeport, who appeared for his father Goodwin Stoddard, counsel for MT Rices grandson A. E. Rice and his mother Helen Rice. I. P. Kellogg and other stock holders were represented by Attorney Burpee and Attorney Meiss represented the ad- ministrator. There was no objection to the account as filed, which allowed the administrator counsel $20O and the administrator himself for his services about $1,200 which is about one per cent of the entire estate.
 So the account was approved and filed for record.
 A few days ago an application for distribution of the estate as directed by the will of Mir Rice was filed and Attorney Burpee asked for an order right away Still he had no objec- tion to a continuance, and the mat ter went over to next Tuesday.
 The will directs that the 409 shares of stock in the Apothecaries Hall company which have been ap- praised at S102,000 shall be equally divided among testator's three chil- dren or their heirs. F. B. Rice is dead, consequently his share will go to either his widow pr his son, A. E Rice, and the other two thirds to Mrs Mary Munson and her sister Mrs Ella S. Williams. Mrs Williams with one or two stock holders in the company asked that this stock be sold in block, some months ago and they offered S100,000 for it, but the probate court denied their applica' tion and from that decision they have an appeal pending in the superior court.

HUGHES AN OPTIMIST
Governor Sees Growing De- mand in All Affairs For
 Honesty.

Johnstown, N. Y., Sept. 4.-Governor Hughes came here from Albany and made speech at the annual fair of the Fulton County Agricultural socie- ty. He said in part:
 'The state is the fountain of priv ilege. There is no railroad company in the state which is chartered by the state but whose right to conduct it's business comes from the state. Fran chises are granted for the benefit of the citizens of the state in order that they may have a fair, adequate and reasonable service with proper charges, and it is the business of the state gov ernment to see that those who get these privileges exercise them accord ing to the intent of the law for the benefit of the people.
 "The game of getting something from the government to which q person is not entitled or a class of people are not entitled is a game that many men play.
 Favors Granted CareIessly.
 "One of our great difficulties is that we have had too many privileges grant ed carelessly by the government to men who are anxious to get some priv ileges without making due return to the people.
 If there is. anything that man who depends for his daily bread upon his daily work, who is saving little by little out of his earnings to build up n competency; if there is anything that that man should insist upon it is that we deal with every question with in exorable fairness, insisting upon de- liberation, insisting upon the ascer- tainment of the truth so that no mis- take shall be made and that everybody shall get that to which he is entitled and that no one shall profit from the government.
 q am an optimist. I believe we shall have steady. consistent progress. be- lieve that the forces of evil can never among educated people overcome the forces of good.
 'I believe that there is growing demand throughout the length and breadth of this land for honesty in business and for honesty in public af- fairs; that the American people, while they are human beings, while they have very great variety of faults, nev' ertheless are people that are true to the pole star of good conduct. They will not fail in the future to make the gov ernment square with the eternal prin ciples of the Ten Commandments and the Declaration of Independence"

BOND WAS RAISED.
Troubles of Winsted Man Who Sold
 Vulgar Post Cards.

Winsted, Oct 7.--At the hearing in the case against Arthur v Morgan, the local barber. who was charged with the selling of vulgar post cards, held in the town court, Prosecuting Attorney Blodgett read the complaint and said that the trial was to be conducted on three counts He requested the court to raise the bond of Morgan from $500 to $1,00O for his appearance at the next term of the superior court,
 This request resulted in wordy war between counsel, Attorney Herman charging that obscene post cards that had been purchased from local n1er- chants other than MT. Morgan have been placed in the hands of the Prose- cutting attorney, and that he had failed to do his duty Prosecuting Attorney Blodgett denied this charge, and again requested the court to have the bond raised. He cited o Hartford case as an example, but Attorney Herman claimed that no such case had occurred. Mir Herman told of Morgan having been advised by a local police officer to forfeit his bond and leave town. and significantly remarked that perhaps this was the reason they wished to have the bond raised He further claimed that the bond. as 1t was, at $500 was preposterous But the judge evidently thought differently for he raised the bond to $500 for Morgan's appearance at the next term of the superior court.

PORK MARKET ENTERED BURGLARS JUST MISS $500 Safe Moved and Partly Demol- ished, But Marauders Are
 Frightened Away.

The Pork market kept by R. A. Yungerman at 133 congress avenue was broken into some time early yes terday morning by burglar or burg lars, who moved the 1000 pound iron safe from the front part of the market to the rear behind a wooden partition, where the outer door of the safe was pried open, evidently with sold chisel and a bar. The inner door of the safe was also attacked, but before 1t could be forced the burglars were evidently frightened away.
 Upon opening the store early yes terday morning MT Yungerman dis covered what had been done and while he regretted the ruin of the safe he was rejoiced to find that the inside door of the safe had not been forced, for behind 1t reposed some $500 in cash. A hole had been drill ed in the door, but that was all About ten dollars in change in the cash register was also untouched.
 The burglars had effected an en- trance from the rear of the store, forcing their way with chisel, brace and bit, through two doors.
 What frightened them away is un- known.
 The police were notified, but so far no arrests have been made.

TRoUBLEovER TRAIN SCHEDULE
Time Tables Give Out and People
 Are Confused.

Railroad men and the public are mixed up over the new trains sched- iule which went into effect Sunday. Some people bought tickets and boarded trains which have heretofore stopped at certain way stations now cut out. This created great confusion and especially among the patrons.
 Running of the trains was compara- lively good, for the dispatchers had the new schedule down pat and kept the trains up to tinle No time tables were to be had, as the five thousand in the ticket office at Union station were gone before o'clock in the nor ming.
 Many complaints have been received in MT. Mellen's office of the taking off of trains, but it is very doubtful if the road will put them back unless the matter becomes acute.
