 In the probate court this morning there was a hearing on the applica- tiOn of a committee from the Third Congregational church in the Brook lyn district for the appointment of an administrator on the estate Of the late Mary A. Smith. Ten years ago Martha A. Smith, a prominent and active member of the above named church, died, leaving an estate worth about $S,000. She left a life inter est in it to Mary A.

 While playing cards in house on Scovill street yesterday afternoon sev- eral men had little argument, fol- lowed by a cutting bee in which one fellow was rather roughly handled. Evidently he was the hero, and the williams directed their weapons at him, for when hostilties ceased, all kinds of figures were conspicuous on the back of the leading player. There were crlSS crosses, crescents, skull and bones, and few other designs which would be rather artistic had they not been inscribed with blood. The injured man, or some of his friends. called upon Prosecuting At torney Meigs to-day. but so far as is known up to press hour, no warrant had been issued for the arrest of any of the participants, as their names are unknown.
 Waterbury people suffered a great deal by the storm along the shore the past few days Laurel beach property suffered severely and Fort Trumbull got many broadside from Father Neptune and his daughters Judge Cowell, who always put up his storm doors and windows on his cot tage at Laurel beach, forgot to do so this fall, when closing up and in con- sequence he was one of the worst sufferers. The salt water got into the second story of his cottage and the waves which must have been unusual y high, battered every door and window out of business. The storm broke down the breakwater in front | of his property, though only last summer it cost him $150. It turned he walks into slush and sand and tnocked everything inside as well as outside upside down. Along the shore at Fort Trumbull the damage was considerable.

BRIBERY SCANDAL
IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-In the arrest
of Alderman w. s. Clifford and David
Mann, foreman of a stone yard, ON
charges of bribery today, in connection
with the election of a Recorder of the
General Sessions Court, the District At
torney's Office declares plot has been
uncovered by which eleven Aldermen
agreed to sell their votes for Recorder
for $500 each.
According to the District Attorneys
Office, $4,000 in marked bills was found
on Mann, who is accused of being the
go-between. 1t is alleged that Clifford
accepted bribe of $4,000, in return for
which he was to deliver the votes of
himself and ten other Aldermen for ex-
Judge Rufus B. Cowing for Recorder.
Clifford met Mann today, the District
Attorneys Office declares, and took the
$4,000 for payment to the Aldermen. De-
tectives from the District Attorneys
Office We're witnesses and they promptly
arrested Alderman Clifford. Clifford
later was arraigned and held in $40. 600
bail for further examination.
At the Board of Alderman meeting
today voting for the several candidates
for Recorder resulted in deadlock.
Cowing's name was mentioned for the
first time by Alderman clifford. who
had been elected on the Municipal
Ownership League ticket. He had pre-
viously voted for ex-Judge PaImieri.
Unable to procure bail, Clifford was
lodged in police station tonight. Re-
regarding his arrest he said: They pre-
pared a trap and tried to catch me-
Asked about the $4,000, clifford re-
piled: That was for a business con-
sideration. / have received money
from Mann before. This is not the first
time have Mad close business rela-
tions with him.

STOCKTON, Jan. 1.-THE second day
Of the sixth annual convention of the
Building Trades councils of the State
developed some opposition among the
2z1 delegates to the reelection of
President p. H Mccarthy. There are
other strong men in the convention

come out against him. but thus far no
one has been willing to enter the race.

and that a determined effort will be
made TO depose him.

the Dead

KINGSTON, Jan. Is
The picturesque capital of
the island of Jamaica, King
ston, has been devastated by
a violent earthquake.
Details of the disaster are
lacking, as direct eommuri-
cation with the stricken city
has been cut off. The land
lines had been reconstructed
to within five miles of King
ston this evening, and from
meager reports received
through such channels as
were open it has been learned
that many of the most inn
portant buildings have been
destroyed and that there has
been serious loss of life.
So far as the reports indi-
cate, the fatalities number
less than 100, though the
hospitals are filled with in
jured, and the list of victims
may be materially increased.
Kingston and the other points
of interest of the island are at
this season Of the year thronged
with tourists from both America
and England The greatest ap-
prehension is felt for the safety OF
many persons who have recently
arrived at the Jamaican resorts
