FELL FROM TOWER
Jeremiah DeHeby Was IDiured
 al Kaugaiuck To-Day.

Jeremiah J. Denehy of Baldwin street, a carpenter in the employ of the O'Brien Construction Co, fell from the water tower which is being constructed near the rubber shop at Naugatuck for the railroad company this morning and received serious in- juries. The distance from where he fell to the ground was about fifty feet and 1t was supposed that he was killed, but when he was picked up he was in semi-conscious condition and after such assistance as could be rendered at the time by Dr J. J. Car roll, who suggested that the patient be sent to a hospital, it was decided to flag the 11:07 train, which was then approaching, and send the ra- tient to the New Haven hospital Father Fitzgerald was at the mans side soon after the accident and ac- companied him to the hospital.
 MT Denehy resides at the corner of Baldwin and Pleasant street, where his sister, Mrs Mccarthy, conducts a boarding house. His brother, Ter renee, is a conductor on the local trolley and two sisters live at the same place and work in the factories. The first intimation they had of the sad news reached them when a Demo- crat reporter called up there shortly before noon. MT Denehy is young man, very popular and all hope that his injuries will not prove fatal.

THE PECK ESTATE.
Again In the Probate Court-Hearing Was Adjourned.

Until this afternoon it was sup posed the estate of the late Franklin l.. Peck would be settled up without any great opposition. Now 1t seems destined to remain in the courts for some time.

Judge Cowell and Mrs Peck the widow. and threats flew fast and furious between Attorney E. F. Cole representing the widow and Attorney Seymour of New York. counsel for Belle C. Lock- wood of New Jersey, one of the heirs. While the distributors account has been filed with the court, actual distribution has not talk en place, but 1t has been accepted by the court and until to-day 1t was sup posed that 1t had the approval of the heirs.
 An appeal will undoubtedly be talk en and in that case it will be abso- lutely impossible to get trial until next winter.
 Meanwhile. who shall collect the rents7 Attorney Cole said .he ad- ministrator of course shall collect them. To which Attorney Seymour said the administrator dare not coll leet only what he Is entitled to and he would like to see anyone collect the rents of the property allotted to his client in the distribution. Here was the bone of contention. and while Attorney Cole threatened to sue Attorney Seymour If he dared collect a cent of the rents. Attorney Seymour pretsuded to ignore Attorney Cole and his threats and said he would be able to take care Of himself. Finally the motion to continue the hearing on the administration account was allowed. the hearing being put down for June 20.

HOTCHKISS HEARING
Mrs Catherine Drexel Not Sails-
 fled Win Division of Estate.

There was hearing in the pro- bate court this forenoon on the ac- count of William B. Hotchkiss, as administrator on the estate of his father, Berkley s. Hotchkiss. MT Hotchkiss has charged $2,500 for his services, which have extended over a period of about two years.
 Explaining his work he said he had been through civil suit of an en- ploye named Patrick Coughlin against the estate for $1,000 back wages alleged to be due, and that Coughlin was defeated. He had to do a lot of work in gathering the evidence, finding witnesses and pa pers of importance. In dividing the estate which amounts to about $50,- 900, he said the chief trouble was with his sister, Mrs Catherine Drex- ell, who lives in the west. She was not satisfied with his distribution and then he told her to select what ever half she preferred. Thereupon she hit upon the house he occupies, knowing" said he, "that I live there, that it was my home and that wished to continue living there. She could have no particular use of that part than of any other part"
 Once in while MT Hotchkiss would hesitate in his answers to the questions of Attorney Bronson, who appeared for Mrs Drexel and one of his counsel, Burpee and Cassidy, would tell him to say so and so. MT Bronson would then say in that az gravating, tantalizing way for which he is well known:
 "Well, sir, which answer of your learned counsel do you wish to make" And then everybody would laugh but the administrator and MT Bronson, who saw no fun in the matter at all. The hearing will be resumed later.

be great success. Already the en-
tries total in excess Of 1000. Mrs.

wife, is promoting it.
This show, watch comes late this
month, does not bestow its honors
for blue blood, but for the condi-

the animals will be work horses,

seen years of service. 1t was in

Last year 1900 horses were in

WASHINGTON

Strong man acts are nothing
novel in vaudeville. but the LaVeen-
Cross Co. on this weeks bill have
a combination of brute strength
and science that hasn't been equal
ed on the circuit. Swinging a
heavy man lying prone on the
floor straight over his head with
one hand and balancing him there
is but one of the feats performed
by LaVeen. His muscular posing
is as fine a sample of physical de-
velopment and the act is handsome
ly staged in Roman settings. Henri
French, called the highest salaried
performer in vaudeville. has list
of neat Juggling. but his strong
work Is impersonation Of noted
composers. and in that he Is some
thing extraordinary. The musical
feature of the weeks bill is the
Fredericka trio in opera, we'll sung
and staged. Something above the
average in song and monologue Is
put on by Tierney and O'Dell. who
were the comedy hit of the open
ing performance. Mr. AMI Mrs.
Ralph Lewis have sketch of or
binary merit but creditably acted.

RED HOT BALL IN

They're playing the game in the

The second game was won by the

Manager Dreher sprung another
pleasant surprise on his patrons
last night in the second vaudeville
bill of the house. The Lewis &
Lake Co. in musical comedy as an
adjunct to regular vaudeville was
a winning stroke of business, for
the company puts on a popular act
of the kind in attractive style.
There is a strong specially num-
Der by Hill, Cherry and Hill. in a
novelty bicycle act with comedy
trimmings that furnishes genuine
entertainment. The third act on
the program is the Pekin ZOuaves
in their second week. The two spe-
cialties in conjunction with musi-
cal comedy make properly bal
anced program of just the right
length and first class quality The
house will undoubtedly repeat the
popularity of it's hrst week, which
was sufficient to establish 1t in
vaudeville.

''The Gamblers Daughter" is a
highly dramatic and humorous
piece, as presented by the Shirley
Co. this week. The play is not
difficult, but 1t is one of the sort
easy to make stumble with.
George McQuarrie as George Hart,
who is in love with the gambler'a
daughter. played effectively by Jes.
sic Shirley, has little opportunity
for much work in the first act, for
he goes to Jail. And there he re-
mains until the last. But the
"pohtly" Jack Amory in part of
ludicrous plumbers and neat fall

Georges sad fate is forgotten.
There is some refreshing by-play
by Robert Siddell, Miss Ethel Won
Waldron, and the action ends well
for everybody but the villain.

The new bill opening last even.
ing has something extra in the
musical line in oJhanna Kristoff
European soprano who has an ex.
traordinarily powerful voice. The
rest of the bill is lively comedy in
which the Stagpooles spring a new
one in the mechanical trick device.
The sketch is '"The Wise Mr.. Conn
by the Carter & Waters Co.. and
it's good enough. Joe Morris Is the
single handed comedian of the bill,
and there couldn't very well be two
like him. A neat song and dance
turn is that of Barnes & West. AS
whole the bill is happy little
bundle.
