FORMER JUDGE ACCUSED. A. D. Warner of Woodbury Accused of Theft While Administr8tor.

Winsted, April 2s.-Arthur D. War ner of Woodbury, formerly judge of the court of common pleas, underwent a tedious cross fire of questions at the hands of Lawyer Hartman of New Haven before Judge Case in the su- perior court here yesterday. MT. Warner is charged with the nnisap- propriaIion and fraudulent use of funds administrator of the estate of George B. Lewis of Woodbury, who died October 23, 1889, and the suit is brought to recover $20,0O0.
 It is alleged that as administrator Judge Warner failed to account for property which he received. The estate was valued at about $125,OOO and the judge, with Robert Drake1y as co-administrator, gave a bond for $250,000, having as bondsnen some of the prominent resident in the vicinity of Woodbury. Drakely died before the estate was settled and Judge Huntington, who was judge of the probate court of Woodbury, of which Judge Warner was clerk, is also dead.
 The suit was brought in January, 1905, and MT. Warner has been miss ing for the past two years. He said yesterday that he had been travelling through northern New England states establishing agencies for a firm sell ing water filters and also for another firm selling shirtwaists.

 The flight was not only the most spectacular on record, but in many respects the most daring. Most of the flying was done after dark, Paul han, and White being only able to the route. The trip was made in a strong wind that practically caused the machines to swerve and dip dam gerously.

TWAIN'S BEDDING PROPERTY WORTH
 ABOUT $40, 900
Corner Stone of Mark Twain Library Building May be

Special to The Earmer.o

Redd1ng, April zS.-
 Of the estate left by Mark Twain Ais property investments in this town represent an outlay of about $40,000. rhe house alone stands for about $32,- OO0 and there are some 200 acres of land which may be designated rather as scenery than as productive farm ing soil, most of 1t being covered with young forest growth succeeding the timber cut off within recent years. The Frank Lee farm of about 15O acres he sold during the past winter. This p9operty was the special care of his daughter Jean from the time she came to Stornfeld last summer until her death by drowning in @ bath tub on last Christmas Day morning. She buaied herself about the place in look horses which she had placed in the pensioner class and a COW or two. In &he Lee house she had room fitted up for her office and there she used every morning to take her fathers many letters and sort them out, in her capacity as his private secretary.

The couple were in the habit of spend ing much of the time together in the fields and there was something quite touching dn their affectfonate com radeship and in the watchfu1 sOHc1- tude manifested by MT.

When she came to her tragic end he said that it might have been worse-that is, that her death might have occurred under circumstances much more distressing and painful to recall.
 The officers of the Mark Twain Ii- brary AssOciation are considering a. proposition to have the corner stone laying for the library building take place on the 18th of June, which is the date of the annual meeting. Mark Twain was president of the association and Dr. D. H. Smith is first vice-pres- ident. The site of theS building will be at the southwest angle of Sel1eck's Corner, where is located the lot given the association by Theodore Adams. The location is about a mile west of the Center and close to the Saugatuck river. At the northwest angle stands the old Selleck mansion which, in the opinion of Harry Lounsbury, should be converted and expanded into a ho- Eests that 8 Baptist church be erect ed The cash donation of $6, ,0OO made by Mark Twain on his death bed en- abIes the library association to pro- ceed at once with the building project. The idea has been to put up a build ing costing about $4,00O although this plan Hike that of the date for the corner stone laying is yet in the ten- native stage.

COLLECTION OF TAX REVENUES TO
 BEGIN ON MAY 2

Taxes will be due to the city on May 1, which falls on Sunday. Collections will begin on May 20. Collector Don nelly with a corps of competent clerks City Hall early Monday morning to begin the collection of the 1.470 900 which is due the city in taxes and sprinhling assessments.
 Those who do not pay their taxes by June 1 will be required to pay an additional rate of 3-4 of one per cent per month.
 The tax rate this year is 17.4 mills One reason why the tax is higher is that the city must pay a State tax for ture At its last session made it neces- sary to- lay a State tax for the first time in years. It was laid too late for Bridgeport to include the item in the budget for 1909. so the city will pay about $86,00 this year as the tax for 1909 and 1910
 Another reason for the tax being high this year is the appropriation of $16,000 by the city to build A bridge in Boston avenue over Stillman's pond U. M. c. Co.'S industrial railroad. The cost of the bridge Is to be about $26, 900 and the Cartridge Company will con. tribute $10, 900 toward the Construction raising of the $16.OOO by direct taxa tion, but the tax board included it in the budget.
 Another cause for the high rate is the appropriation of 1000 to pay for the water used by the city through fire hydrants. This appropriat ton would not be required if the water company was compelled to live up to it's char ter.
 Collector Donnelly has prepared over 1000 bills for the taxpayers and they will be ready for distribution on-Mon- day.

Dayton, April 2S.-Instead of express ing surprise at Louis Paulhan's achievement in flying from London to Manchester with only one stop. Will bur Wright today said that the fright simply proved that a, transatlantic flight Is possible.
 '' Ibelieve that an aeroplane with sufficient gasoline capacity to carry it across the Atlantic is altogether feasi- b1e,'' he said. Of, course two pilots would have to be used The proposi- ton may look foolish to some people but it is not.''
 Next to Curtiss, Wright says Paul han is the most slzilful aviator in the world.

that the Milwaukee will build an
other branch line into Rapid City to

understood, for the building of this
cutoff which would be 500 miles in
length and extend from Yarmouth.

Buffalo Monument for Cody

''Buffalo Bill' has requested That
when he dies his body will be buried
on the summit of Cedar Mountain in
Big Horn county, Wyoming, and over
it will stand a marble buffalo, forty
feet high, with electric lights in the
eye sockets so brilliant that they can
be seen eight miles away. At least,
that is what Cody himself plans,
though he says he is far from dead
man now. The plans were revealed by
Charles A. Heath in lecture to the
geographical society Of Chicago. He
declares that Buffalo Bill contided his
plan to him year ago.
