PAUL REVERE CHURCH BELLS
Found In Woodstock, Identified by
Means Of an Old Stock Book

Means Of an Old Stock Book
The finding of the old stock book
of Paul Revere has brought to light
the fact that in four of the church
towers of Woodstock are bells bear
ing the name Reyere-the Congrega-
tional, Universalist, Christian and
Episcopal There is evry proof that
the Congregational and Christian
churches have bells made by Paul
Revere, the Boston coppersmith and
Revolutionary patriot. After the
Revolutionary war, he made can.
mons and church bells and the two
bells above mentioned are identified
by the records of the stock book.
The former has been in use 80 years
The other two bells, which also bear
the name Revere, but Of which no
mention is made in the stock book,
may have been fashioned by a son Of
Paul Revere, who engaged In the
same occupation as his father
An article written in 1878 for the
Ottauquechee Post contained copy
of the following memorandum taken
from the records of the Congrega-
tional church, which were made by
| Norman Williams:
In June, lSlS,a bell was purchas-
ed by subscription and placed in the
tower Of the Congregational church.
Willis Hill, esq, was the agent to
purchase the bell. To select this
bell he took with him to Revere's
foundry, Elnathan Duren, who then
resided in Boston, and Norman VIII
liams of Woodstock, who was then
in Boston. The bell selected was of
the key of G, and Of a fine tone, as
al men who hear it testify. 1t was
warranted to last one year without
breaking provided II was not mrned
over. The bell was SO hung that 1t
'ould not turn over The following

WANT WILL TO STAND.
Heirs Of hiss Stokes Seek to
4Uoid Technical Bars.

Justice Gerard listened 10 an extensive
and intricate argument yesterday by a
large array of counsel for the judicial con-
struction of the viii of Miss Caroline
Phelps Stokes.
Ex-Judge William J. Wallace. counsel for
one Of the diverse interests involved, was
chosen by his colleagues TO present the
case. He said that the will of Miss Stokes
had been admitted 20 probate in this city.
Judge Wallace informed the court that
the two sisters. holding valuable realty in
common, had, under advice of some un-
known person. formed d holding company.
wherein the title TO this valuable real estate
was transferred, themselves keeping the
entire stock issuance of this company,
Geeming that it would be identical with the
ownership of the original fee title, and that
as a result of this action there had arisen
a much mooted legal question as to
whether the ownership of this realty or
stock ownership representing it became
part of the residuary estate under the viii,
TO go to the many charitable concerns men
toned. or should legally be portion of the
personally bequeathed TO the next Of kin.
But he added, Notwithstanding this even
the next of kin were unit in asking that
the original intention of the testatrix be
carried out and were in court asking only
that such legal obstacles in the way might
be eliminated.

Fish 6 Robinson ReceiUership
Makes No Trouble.

There was stock market disturbance
yesterday as a result of the naming Of a
receiver for the important bond house of
Fisk & Robinson late in the preceding DAY
prices suffering only small fractional de-
clines at the opening, and weakness no'
developing until the last half hour OF trad
ing No panicky movement had been e&-
pected. as it had been understood that the
failure would not involve other houses OF
institutions, and its causes were known, aho
for the further reason thai the chief bank
ing interests of this city had been ADVISED
of the embarrassing of the house sew
eral days ago. and, therefore, LOOK sucn
measures as were deemed necessary 10 pre-
vent a possible break in stocks
J. P Morgan & Co. and some OF the large
banks were asked for help, and made
careful examination of the firm cohdltloh
the result OF which was their decision tha'
the wisest course for the firm to pursue
was to allow itself to be placed In re-
ceivers hands.
Bronson Winthrop the receiver. has not
yet been able to complete the statement
of the firms exact position, supplementinS
the accountants statement, published yes
terday. which showed an excess OF assets
over liabilities of about s112,000 as of the
N'-N
figures may be ready to-day. Mr. VIM
throp was appointed anciliary receiver IN
Massachusetts, yesterday.
Arrangements were made yesterday by
various institutions for paying the IN
terest on bonds hitherto payable at the
Office of Fisk & Robinson The kn1cker-
booker Trust Company announced that 1t
would pay the interest on the securities
of the Buffalo & Susquehanna Railway
Company as trustee under the mort
gage, as is customary when the fiscal
agent defaults in payments Interest
coupons on the first refunding and ter
minal 3 per cent bonds of the CUR d
Ship Island Railroad Company will here
after be paid at the Office Of the Bank
ers' Trust company. The March /
coupons on the bonds of the Louisiana Il
Arkansas Railway Company will be paid
by the Standard Trust Company.
There was sale at auction yesterday Of
$4,000 first mortgage Az per cent bonds of
the Buffalo & Susquehanna Railway Com
rany at 66 which compares with the quota
ton a month ago of 72 bid and II asked.
1t was mainly in consequence of the de-
probation in market value of these bonds.
cf which Fisk & Robinson themselves hold
about 81, 200, 600, and of the preferred stock
of the railroad company. of which they
hold about sS00,o00, that the receiver was
named.
The general manager of the Keystone
Telephone Company in statement yester-
day said that the corporation would not be
materially affected by the failure. Fisk &
Robinson, he added. had been fiscal agents
for the company for five years, and the
company had balance with them of be-
tween 100000 and 100000. which, however,
was a special deposit being part of the
proceeds of the sale of the company's last
issue of 81 O00,00 bonds.

OPPOSED TO HElNZE
SO SAYS DIR. YOUNG.
UiudsOr Trust Head on Stand
IN Birmingham Trial.

John Alvin Young, president of the Wind
sor Trust Company. in the Court of Spe-
ciaI Sessions yesterday, during the trial oil
Stirling Birmingham formerly head OF the
companv's bond department, on the charge
of receiving gratuity in connection with
a loan of $4,000 on Davis-Daly and ONO
copper stocks, testified that he had SAID 10
Birmingham last July;
Il don't think we want to be party 10
the transaction In copper stocks, because
certain firms are connected with them that
we do not care to be doing business with.
Did Won mention the names of the con-
cerns?" asked Justice Wyeth.
"I told hin, we did not want to do busi-
ness with Mr. Heinze," replied Mr.. Young,
''and Birmingham assured me that there
were no Heinze concerns
The witness was subpHnaed with other
of the company's directors, including Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, August Hecksher, Rob-
ert McCurdy, Jordan J. Rollins and Theo-
dore P. Shonts. to shed light upon the loan
For nearly two hours Justices Wyeth.
ZeIler and Olmstead listened TO evidence
yesterday When the case was ADJOURNED
until . o'clock this afternoon the mystery
surrounding the principals in the transac-
tion was as deep as ever. The identity OF
the persons VINO SPCuIGd liic plciiN SNi 49,
stocks when they were dumped on the mar
ket for $4,000 was still matter of specu-
Iation.
Richard S. Kaufman, of No. 30 Broao"ay'
apparently helped Birmingham when ne
said that he had told Birmingham he Woulo
give him something whether the loan went
through the Windsor Trust Company or
an outside institution Birmingham he
said, had previously said that II PreSldehl
Young did not permit the use of his COM
rany as a clearing house for the loan he
might be able to get some other bank to
act in that capacity, and Kaufman had
said that in such an event he would re-
munerate him for his trouble.
William A. Ulman, who appeared with
Arthur Wilson Dennen for Birmingham
pointed out to the court that it was right
after Kaufmans promise TO pay money 10
Birmingham should he make outside con-
nections that the latter had reported that
he thought Mr.. Young would approve the
transaction. This was before kaufman had
said he would give him something anyway
1T would have been to the defendant
interest to place the loan outside said Mr..
Jlman but, instead, he considered the IN
terests of his employers first

Scorns Doctors Aid.

PatrolRlan Nash, of the fremont station,
was standing at Third and fremont ave-
nues ;ate yesterday afternoon, when he
heard cries and saw a human firebra nd
running toward him. Taking off his coat
he caught Edward Ryan, who is eleven
years cid and lives at No. 1929 Third ave
nue., in his arms and put out the fire in
the boys clothes. Nash then carried the
boy TO his home and sent in q call for an
ambulance from Fordham Hospital. Mr.. Hoy
answered and found the boys mother ap-
plying oil and bandages to her sons burns.
She TOLD him that she was as good as any
physician in the city. and he returned to
the hospital.
The boy was playing near a fire at La
fontaine and fremont avenues with sew
eral others and, as he was about to throw
a bundle of sticks the fire, fell and
pitched forward INTO the flames. His COM
panions dragged him out, but before they
could put out the blaze that was running
through his clothes he broke away from
them and ran toward home. He was MAX

MAY RELEASE DENNISON.
District Attorney Thinks Evidence Too
Weak for Grand jury.

The examination Of Herbert Jerome Den
rison, the magician charged by the police
with the murder OF Robert LoInas and
Arthur Shibley, will proceed before Magis-
trate Corrigan in the library of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office to-day. In comment
ing on the case last night District Attor-
ney Whitman said that unlesss more evil
dence was presented by the police he would
not feel justified in presenting the case TO
the grand jury
II believe persons in my office have been
quoted as saying that We believed the
police had the right man. No such state
ment has been made. and, according TO the
evidence up TO date. ] do not think the
case is strong enough TO be presented TO
the grand jury. The shooting OF Fred
ericks could hardly be presented, l think,
in court OF record evidence in the
other case. though il might have some
hearing on the question Of identification.
