NOISE AT WHITE CITY
Watnrbury Officer Had Hard
 Time Serving a Paper.

\ Deputy Sheriff O'Brien had the ex- perience of his life Saturday. He
 went to New Haven to place an at tachment upon the White City" for
 $50 for the New York Amusement company along with Deputy Sheriff Spiegel of New Haven. They were unaware that 1t was the closing day of the White City" and that noise making souvenirs had been distribut' ed to all its patrons that day. Some how the revelers got onto the man from Waterbury and they gave him cause to remember the closing day of the place of amusement. For two hours three brass bands marched and counter marched around the walks, then the players changed instruments and as very few could play the oth- CTS it seemed as If Bedlam had been let loose. With this noise there was a racket of tin horns, whistles with squirt guns attached, boxes of alleg- ed confetti and half a dozen other ear torturing features and all the people gathered around the two sheriffs and made all the noise they were capable of producing. However, the officers managed to serve their papers and then they proceeded to crush their way to liberty. They suc- ceeded after long struggle and they came near leaving their coat tails be- hind them.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION
New Feature Coming Up in the Apoibecaries Hall Case.

Another injunction has appeared in the contention between the heirs
 of the late A. E. Rice for possession
 of the 409 shares of stock in the
 Apothecaries' Hall company. The
 plaintiff, this time, is Mrs Ella s.
 Williams, wife of Samuel P. Will
 Hams, who is daughter of Mrs Rice, and the parties who have been made defendants are Franklin A. Taylor administrator of Mir Rice's estate. A.. E. Rice and his mother Mrs Helen M. Rice,, and Mrs Williams's sister Mrs Mary B. R. Munson. The pur- pose of the injunction is to avert a possible order of distribution of the estate by Judge R. A. Lowe. A week ago Colonel Burpee appearing for l. P. Kellogg, president of the Apothe- carries Hall company and Mrs Mun- son, filed an application with the probate court for an order to have the. administrator distribute the estate as directed by the will of MT Rice. .'
 In other words Colonel Burpee's clients wished to get their one third of the 409 shares of stock, which is exactly what Mrs Williams and MT Rice does not wish to have done. An order to have these 409 shares sold in block was denied Mrs Will jams by the probate court. though she and A. D., Rice offered $100,- 900 for them. She claims that if the stock is distributed in any way. but in bulk it will be depreciated in value. ..
 On the application for an order to distribute the 409 shares as directed by the will, hearing in the probate court has been set for tomorrow morning. If the order is allowed the injunction will prevent Admins trator Taylor from carrying it out consequently 1t is probable there will be no hearing now.
 Mrs Williams in her complaint in the injunction asks for sale of the 409 shares in block, a sale of the real estate located on Church street, and a permanent injunction pre- venting MT Taylor from selling any part of the 409 shares or distribut- ing the estate. a..
 The injunction was drawn up by Attorney C.. G. Root, granted by Judge Peasley and served upon the defendants this morning i by Sheriff John F. O'Brien. ..s...
 The hearing on the application for an order for distribution which Was scheduled for tomorrow took place to-day. Judge Stoddard of Bridge port appeared for the Rices. While

EASY FOR M0RPHY.
Story of the Great Chess Master and a
Celebrated Painting.

Celebrated Paintln9'
Paul Morphy, on his visit to Phila-
delphla, was the guest of Clergyman,
the Rev. Mr.. H. On his arrival at the
minister's home the chess master was
first ushered into the library, and his
attention was at once attracted by a
painting over the, mantel, which was a
fine copy Of a celebrated painting rep
resenting a game Of chess between
young man and the devil, the stake be-
Ing the young mans soul.
The artist had most graphically de-
picted the point in the game where 1t
was apparently the young mans move,
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game, the agony Of
despair being shown In every line of
his features and attitude, while the
devil from the opposite side Of the ia
BILE gloated over him with fiendish de-
light The position of the game appear
ed utterly hopeless for the young man,
and Mr.. H. said he had often set 1t up
and studied it with bis chess friends,
and all agreed the young mans game
was certainly lost.
Mr.. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied it for several minutes,
when finally. turning to Mr.. H., he
said:
81 can win the game for the young
man."
Mr.. H. was of course astonished and
said, "Is it possible" -
Mr.. Morphy replied, "Get out the
men and board and let us look at it.
The position was set up, and in a
few rapid moves he demonstrated a
complete win for the young man, and
the devil was checkmated.
