RELICS OF THE MAINE.
Desired for Town of Windham, a
 Suggestion of Thomas J. Kelley.

Saturday afternoon Attorney Thom- as J. Kelley called at the office of the board of seleetmen in the town building and suggested to First Se- lectman J. J Few that in view of the fact that there is so much agita- tlon relative to the raising and dis posal of the wreck of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor. if congress decides to award souvenirs and relics or the hulk, the town of Windham should not be forgotten.
 MT. Kelley said that Windham was entitled as much as any other town and perhaps more. to a suitable relic or the Maine for these reasons: First that a Willimantic boy, John Shea, who formerly lived in Stone row, now lies at the bottom of Havana har- Dor: and second, that Willimantic, when the call for troops was issued by President Mckinley in 1898, was one of the few cities in the whole state to respond with more than her full quota. as/Company k, Third reg igent, went out of here with 1OS men,
 lie also said that Windham has a suitable, place to preserve the relic, if one be donated the town, as she can place it in the town building. or if |she should be so fortunate as te secure one of the Maine's guns, it could be mounted upon the lawn neat Grand Army hall The board of se- lectmen will take the matter up irn- mediateiy through the districts rep resentative in congress, E. W. Higgins of Norwich. The board has the as surance that every organiza ton and society in town will stand back of il in the endeavor to secure for Wind ham relic of the Maine.

BANKRUPTCY HEARING.
Creditors Of A. A. Trudeau Ask Cues tions-Hearing Continued Two Weeks.

The adjourned hearing to examine A. A. Trudeau. the groceryman, who recently went into bankruptcy was held Saturday morning before Ref cree in Bankruptcy A. J. Bowen. Those present were Trustee r. R. Jackson, George F.. Stiles, representing Stiles x Harrington. A L. French repre- senting Swift & Co, Marcus L. Tryon and Attorney Thomas J. Kelley. The referee explained that he had ap- pointed Attorney Kelley to help the trustee on the accounts and to repre- sent MT. Trudeau. MT. Stiles started to object. as he did not oeleve tha | the referee had such righ., to be paid out of the proceeds of the estate. Judge Bowen stuck to his poinc. and Mr. Kelley took up the examination Of the different accounts.
 MT. Trudeau said that his book ac- counts totaled $500. of which perhaps $500 had Leen contracted for during the past year. He was of opinion that the trustee could collect S150 of this amount, but it was very doubtful If he could get more than $50 from the previous accounts He said that ne had not made any especial effort to collect the accounts the past year, that is, any more than any other bus mess man would have done
 At the time of failure he had $10 on hand. The rest of his money had been paid out for running expenses and accounts. He had sold his horse. that was blind. and 1he wagon, that t was old. for $50, a week before his stock was attached. which he consid- cred fair price.
 At this point Mr. Stiles broke into the examination, saying that he wish ed a statement from MT Trudeau of the cash receipts and expenditures during the past month. MT. Trudeau did not believe he could give it. but Referee Bowen ordered him to pre- pare such a statement
 Then Mir. French started to give an explanation of the company he rep resented with MT. Trudeau. and his high opinion of him. but Judge Bow en stopped him, maintaining it was not d part of the examinat tion MT Stiles said that he. had heard Mir. Tru- deau, through a second party was go- ing into business in South Windham Mir. Trudeau said that it was false and commenced to explain. bti. was stopped by his attorney, who advised him to answer only the questions ad- dressed to him.
 Marcus l.. Tryon then examined the bankrupt. Mir. Trudeau declined tc answer all questions put by him, anG MT. Kelley said that owing to the strained relations between the men he did not think that MT. T~yon should
 
 him. MT. Tryon became somewha; excited but made no formal objections to asking the questions through MT Kelley, and the hearing was contin- ued. Mr. Tryon wanted to find ou more about the sale of the horse claiming that at the time Constable W. J. Hastings placed the artachmen upon the store that MT. Trudeau wish. ed to have the horse attached also This was denied by MT. Trudeau
