HEAT IS INCREASING
Mercury Officially Reaches 94 and Unofflcially Passes
 the 100 Mark.
NO LET-uP IS PROMISED
Scores Sleep on the Green Unmolested by the Police-TroIley Reaps
 Harvest.

While Sunday was uncomfortable. compared with yesterday 1t was very mild. The temperature rose yesterday to 94 degrees by official measurement, and by unofficial measurement through out the city the mercury went as high as 100 degrees. The day was by far the hottest of the year. and the high humidity, which was above 70 per cent. caused further discomfort.
 Yesterday called out further com plaints on the part of the farmers of the surrounding country, who fear that their crops will be destroyed unless a steady rain comes In the next few days. But the weather report promises no steady rains The best 1t can do Is to promise local showers and the farm CTS say that these many times do more harm than good
 Last night for the first time this year over 100 persons slept on the Green. For the past two weeks the benches have had occasional sleepers, but on no night have their been over a score of occupants. The benches last night were all filled and all over the grass there were people sleeping. The police realizing the terrible heat of the tene- ments did not disturb them. but allowed them to get good nights rest
 With the present weather conditions the trolley company is reaping har- vest. Beside the thousands who go to savin Rock crowds daily visit the Lighthouse and the cars all yesterday afternoon were damned.

MEAT UP AGAIN
Another Cent Added to Wholesale
 Price Yesterday.

ITltt ttSttTuuNs
 Another jump of one cent a pound was made in the wholesale price of beef yesterday and another turn thus put in the screw under which the re- taller meat men of the city are winc- Ing. This is but another gtep in the gradual mountain climb which the price of beef started on back in the winter. Last week the wholesale price went up one cent and this week The retailers believe that the rises are to take place regularly eacn week for some time to come.
 prominent retail meat dealer yes- terday stated that the bur len of the raise will fall almost entirely on the meat has been raised at rc.ail to such level forced by the wholesale rlse that sales will practically stop if any more Is added. Many of The dealers are already suffering great diminu- ton of their sales on this account and even those with the trade among the wealthier classes fear that the rise which they should make to enable them to get profit out of the new price would compel them to suspend their trade entirely The same dealer stated that while 35 cents is the price which is being asked in this city for porterhouse steak the same quality of steak is selling at 40 cents in Boston.

MAKING NEW CITIZENS
Special Court Session Held Last
 Evening.

Judge Mathewson held special court sessions yesterday afternoon and even ing for the purpose of making citizens Those who got in their applications during the past month when the time Hint expired for those who hope to be made voters in time for the prssiden- tial election in the fall were allowed to appear before the court and qualify for citizenship. In the afternoon two Ital- lans, who attempted to get citizenship were held up because they plainly fail- ed to show that they had lived Tn this country five years and this state at least one year. In fact the wife of one of the men admitted that they only came to this place three months ago and that the other family came at the same time. The men who were thus held back were Giuseppe and Raphael Sabattio.
 One of the evening applicants, Nor wegian, said that he had been In this country seven years and that his fam fly was still in the old country. He claimed that he supported them, but could not explain the situation 10 the satisfaction of the judge. Judge Math- ewson decided to continue the case without prejudice until the man brings his family over here at which time the case will be heard again if appllca- ton Is made.
 Several candidates were accepted and allowed their naturalization.

HEIRS IN GERMANY
On That Account Matchmaker s Estate Has Interesting
 Features.
AFFlDAvITs FROM PRUSSIA
State Will Get Inheritance Tax of $1,2S2 from Supposed Poor
 Mans Wealth.

The probate court has been having very interesting, if hard to decipher, communication with Prussia during the past week. All is over the estate of Peter Busch, watchmaker, who died some months ago and who was sup posed to be poor. Although living In the humblest style, 1t was found upon his death that he Lad property, in the bank and in stocks, valued by the ap- prasers of the estate at $5S,224. Ex- cept for few small bequests to Ger man institutions in this city, the estate was left to nieces and nephews in Germany. and none of these was men, toned by name ih the will Accord- ingly 1t was up to the probate court to find out from Germany who they were, and how many were living, in order that distribution might be made.
 The affidavits. done in the best of German script and in the most ap- proved high and royal Prussian fash ion, and quite voluminous in docu- ments pertaining thereto, have not ar- rived and been deciphered at the court here. It appears that there are eight heirs to the estate. The affidavits bear the signature and seal of Justice Keenig, of the Royal Prussian superior court, and are very interesting legal documents. They are also signed by the United States consul at Cologne.
 Now that the heirs have been locat- ed and named the court yesterday appointed David E. Fitzgerald, Carle- ton II. Stevens and Frank D. Bollman as distributors of the estate. Accord ing to list of claims which has just been filed, there are two claims aggre- gatlng STA against the estate.
 As all the heirs to the estate reside outside the country, there is large inheritance tax which the state will collect from this estate. It amounts to the large item of $1,2S2.S5.

And-Bryan Men Make Strong Effort to Concentrate Op- position and Are
 Encouraged.
MEETING HELD IN SECRET
Campaign Directed by William F. Sheehan, of New York Empire State May Change the Entire
 Situation.

Denver, Col, July 6-Tonight the an tl-Rryan men made another effort to concentrate opposition against the nomination of the Nebraskan and as serted that they were now encouraged for the first time since the delegation began to arrive The movement Is not, however, taken with deep seriousness by any of the men who are leading the Bryan forces.
 The greatest effort was made today to keep the meeting secret, those pres ent being summoned by small cards which were quietly passed around The names of the men who were present were also kept secret to large extent, but 1t Is known that among them were Daniel r. Goldman and William F. Sheehan, of New York, Colonel James M Guffey. of Pennsylvania, former Senator James J. Smith. of New Jer- sey: A. Fl Cox, of Georgia; l. l.. Straus, of Maryland; Josiah Marvel of Delaware, and Frederick B. Lynch, Of Minnesota. Other men were there, who up to tonight have not been mentioned as opponents of MT. Bryan.
 The meeting was largely directed by Mr. Sheehan, who declared that the only way to focus the opposition to MT Bryan to give 1t a standard around which 1t could rally, The con census among those present was that if New York will declare against Bryan and stand firmly by it's de- cisIon. there exists a chance of defeat ing him. It has been clearly under stood from the first that the New York delegation would not cast its vote for Bryan if 1t believed that decisive re- suit could be obtained by casting 1t for another candidate who met the ia vor of the Empire State.
 Some of those present at today's se- cret meeting pointed out that there was still two days In which to work up opposition to Bryan and that there was chance of bringing New York bodily to their aid, inasmuch as 1t had not yet declared its position, and that Georgia, 1t is generally reported, is ready to go against MT. Bryan If New York will do so.

George A. Bartlett Gives Big Dinner to Gubernatorial Candidate and County
 Falls in Line.
THREE TOWNS DOUBTFUL
Woodstock, Putnam and Pomfret May Send Lake Delegations-Willi- mantle Party Is Re-
 united.
Special to the Journal Couricr.)

Windham, July 6-At a dinner giv- en Congressman George L. Lilley by Representative George 4. Bartlett of Willimantic, here this evening, the town of Windham and practically the whole county was handed over to MT. Lilley in his contest for the nomina- ton fo' governor.
 The dinner was held In large low dining room of the colonial Windham inn. built hundred years before the Revolution-in the dining room where George Washington and Jonathan Trumbul are said by the natives to have often shaken dice in the troublous times when the father of his country came to Brother Jonathan for advice.
 But 1t is doubtful that except in col onial times such gathering of men interested in politics. and sterling cti- zens was ever held at the Windham inn. Mir Lilley's tour of Windham county, where he has been met with success at nearly every turn, reached its continuation in the assemblage to- night.
 Beside Representative Bartlett, who is one of the rising young politicians of the state, there was the old war horse of the Bulkeley brigade, Gen. F. s. Boss, who after holding absolute sway over the town for decade had his wishes defeated by MT. Bartlett two months ago when he tried to pre- vent the return of Charles A. Gates to the state central committee. Nearly every member of the old machine was lined up at the Bartlett dinner to MT. Lilley, and harmony which had been lacking for some years in the north eastern part of the state seemed fair to return.
 Among the other prominent persons at the dinner to Mir Liley tonight were former Attorney General William A. King, Attorney George F. Hinman, secretary of the state central commit tee; State Senator Charles A. Gates County Commissioner E. H. Hall Judge William A. Arnold, Judge of Probate James A. Shea, Postmaster c, H Dimock, Gullford Smith of the Smith & Winchester company, H. c. Lathrop, the prominent banker, Dr. T. k. Parker, pr. F F. Guild, George E.. Stiles, First Selectman James M. Smith, Corporation Counsel George w. Meloney, exMayor D. c. Barrows, A. N. Colgrove and several others
 The party went over from Wlliman- tic by automobile, and the party was one of the jolliest held here and the congressman at large was at his best. He laughed and told stories which made others laugh, and by the time the evening was over he had the whole crowd which represents every class of the voters of Wndham with him ire vocabl:.
 Following the dinner, there was no speaking. The party adjourned to ths broad verandas of the inn, which had been given up by the summer visitors, and storytelling went on. Congress- man Lilley was much interested in the story of the frogs of Windham and , promised to come again and see the

HOSPITAL GOES BACK, TOO

Although number of matters of importance came up before the board of aldermen at their session last night 1t was one of the calmest and short est sessions that this board has ever held. It took just long enough to read the vetos of the mayor on both the voting machine proposition and the relocation of the trolley tracks at the corner of Elm and State streets and for motions to sustain the veto and refer both matters back to their committees for further consideration to dispose of the questions last night and the large number of citizens who were present in the expectation of contest over the action to be taken were disappointed. The only excite ment they had was when one of their own number arose and waving his hands majestically interrupted one. of the members of the board long enough to say T move that we all vote for Bryan"
 There were no discussions on either the voting machine veto or the Jewell street site. Simply motion that the mayors veto be sustained that was unanimously carried and then another motion for referring back to the com- mittee which likewise caused no de- bate nor dissension and 1t was all over. In fact everything was ,var in about one hour.
 The veto of the mayor which was submitted with reasons last night on the voting machine matter read as fol- lows:
 To the Honorable Board of Aldermen of the City of New Haven.
 Gentlemen: herewith return to your honorable body, with my disapproval. the re. port of your committee on retrench- ment and reform upon the proposal of the United State Standard Voting Machine company of Rochester, N. Y., and the accompanying resolutions passed by your honorable body, Juno
