Marry English. the eleven year-old i-Wger boy employed by Manager II B. Hoyt, of the Western Unioii‘ Telegraph office, Norwalk. was playing with some companions in the old almonds ‘loundry building on Mechanic street, .yrsterdayafternoon, when he met with a rare accident, falling twenty feet from the inside of the tall brick chimney, and I it is feared was, fatally injured. The "lad is the son of W. P. English, the Mechanic street blacksmith About 5:80 o’clock young English andacom‘ panion, Willie Phillips, were playing around the foundry buildings. They‘ ., crawled in the manhole at the base of the chimney, which is close to the wall at the back of the foundry, there being only aamall passage-way between the chim- ‘ trey wall and the side of the building. It has been a practice for the youngsters of that locality to crawl to the top of the ,. :‘blg brick structure, nearly 150 feet in i height, by means of iron bars inserted . across the corners of the masonry. ._ According to the story told by the ‘Phillips'boy they both started to climb tbs due. and had proceeded nearly to the _, top when Phillips became shaky and sug- ‘ ‘ [send that they descend. English urged hilt logo higher, but he was unwilling 3 to take the risk, and the desdent com- , moaned. When English was about twenty f: feet from the ground Phillips was con- siderably higher up. He accidentally dislodged a loose brick, and it went crashing down. Phillips says he yelled to English to look out, but the brick ~ struck him, as he iOmediately fell. Phil- . lips hurried down to his companiou’s as sistanos, but found him unconscious. He was badly frightened, as he feared that ‘ English was dead. and with tears stream- . lug from his eyes be rushed out and _ called to a brother, Willie English, tell ‘ for him Barry was hurt. ' Accompanied by Harold Austin the boys, went to the foundry. and after some difficulty pulled the injured led out and farted to carry him home. He was ‘ unconscious. am! there was a big .1 ‘ on the top of his head which bled . profusely. John H. Hoyt heard of the Mat and arrived in time to help the boys. Other assistance was at hand, and the little fellow was carried Into the "house, while the anxious parents sent for ‘ aphysician. Dr S. H. Huntington ar- rived and upon making an examination found that the boy’s skull was fractured. Hoordered bis removal to the hospital, and a coach from Dana's stables convey- sd him to the institution. Last night an operation was performed by Dr. W. C. Burke, assisted by Drs. Baker, Huntington and Tracey. It was found that the skull was fractured in sev- sral places. On top of the head, where itis supposed the brick struck him. was abad fracture and a piece of bone pro. traded through the scalp. This was re- moved. The patient has rec ivered con- sciousness and this morning was quite bright, though the physicians state there h but little hope of his recovery. . This noon English's condition was 3‘ favorable, as no shock or concussion has f‘ yrtsst in. _...___-._...,-.._, __~__ ‘ ‘ Christian You-fl la‘l’a League. The organinstion which has been call sd theY.

Winchester stakes lens mass-eats About the Proposed opinions. and realizing list it is the den sire of his salt-rum. to treat all subjects with fairness, I take the liberty of ~soak. lug some statements in defense of the other side; for there is another side, and one which! believe is worthy of consid- eration and largely sustained by public opinion. It does not seem to me as though the decision of a number of business men should be taken as an expression of un- biased public sentiment in this matter, because quite naturally their opinions are influenced to a greater or less degree by their own individual interests, which they apparently believe will be jeopar- dizld, though it is nogguite clear how Therefore [contend that they cannot be considered as proper judges in an in- stance of this character to advise the mayor or Council how to act. 'Why should they protest against this sir-culled competition or any other if they are dealing squarely with the public. which no one doubb? It has been said that competition is the life of trade; yes. and it is more. it is the factor thatregulates prices according to the demand, giving both buyer and seller an equal chance. Among the reasons against permitting aluncb wagon to locate here. one was to the efi'ect that it would ,create no- natural and unwarranted competition. Unnatural? That is purelya matter of opinion; but i do not believe it prevails in the mind of any liberal-minded person who has given the subj ict thought. Unwarraoted. Who but the public at large should be the judge of that? Certainly not those who died it from a competitive standpoint. If the instllu tion is unnecessary, the public will soon show it by not patronizing it, and who else will bethe beer, but the one who makes the venture? i do not think anyone viewing the situation from the outside, if he thought seriously and did not laugh at the ri’ dicuiuusuess of it, would look upon the recent spirited opposition to this innocent lunch wagon question as emanating from a very broad-minded community, and he would probably suggest that we had better fence ourselves in. To my personal knowledge 1 know that these lunch wagons are appreciated whereever they are in service, having patrcmsed them in many cities, and without caption, upon inquiry, have learnedths literate looked upon as a benefit and never as an obstruction. There is hardly unity in the East now, but has at least one, and often more. Therefore I do not see any reason why this man should not be given a chance, if the fierce remdnstrsnoe has not al- ready scared him away. I think it would me if i met with such an unchsrit- able reception upon my advent in a strange city. Let him ply his trade in peace so long as it is honest. This man. who is willing to come among us atid risk his money in a lunch wagon investment, has been character is d as a foreigner, in the sense, i sup wee, that he is not a native of this city. for he is an American beyond doubt. But what a true illustration this is of the fact that the emigrant is the first to say. down with emigration. li‘of how many of our inhabitants were born on this soil? Very few indeed would be found if a count was made. ' The usrrowness of our streets is given as an objection. it is true we are unlor music in that respect, but why should he be excluded on that piss? For who is there among he mean enough to be. grudge this man the small space he may occupy during the few evening hours. and for which he will pay a license greatly in excess of the average amount of turns piid by our lltl-lmws men on their investments, and llkvl them he will p iy rental flut only for a place to live in, but also for a place to stole his wagon during the day timi. as well its hum lllfr! sod itdelsl'lflfllf. all of which will amount to sitpsnses that will render him any- thlng but an unnatural committee. if a party came here from some com locality with the express intention of unfolding chesp.infsrior goods upon the public by underulllng our merchants and then getting out of town with his fraudulent gains, as is some times door, that would be unnatural cud unwarrant- sd competition that should nspruliilillsd. its artists tests a greater lovelor this progresslvsllttlseiw that lamprcndto callhomsthasl.asd! wouldhstlislasr one to bring any hurdsssposltznnll lists tossssnytnlsg emanating frumli that savers cf satires/minded”, and l speak for Ir.

Hitch la the Report of tits Committee in the can of luv. Bolus ‘l'. (limp-r. Presiding Eider. North. of the New Haven district. read his report at yester- day's session of the New York East Unu- furencv- in Stamford. When the name of Rufus T l'rioper. the accused minister of New Haven, was relished, the bishop called for the report of the committee of inquiry in his case. Chairman Him room then rrqtiesuidmn behalf ofthe committee, that ilr. tiriopsr be granted a snpcrtiuruersry, in order that he might return to New Haven to demand a trial of iii-abuse littlest him in the civil courts. Mr. summons esplslnsd that thlsrsprirtwssln Manes with Ifr.

The district attorney responded that he would be in Stamford Friday. “This committee could not wait for him." said the presldliig elder. "Iris new tool ” On this statement the Cooper ' ution was adopted and Mr. Cooper's character was formally Fluid by theconfsvsncs with the entry. "nothing against him.” Dr. Buckley asked the bishop to ex. plain that the phrase “nothing against him,” mesottthst there were no technical charges hgainst Mr. Cooper. Chairman A. G Hill announced that the committee of inquiry was ready to make its report in the it robe-Mains mat- ter. Hq' stated that the committtee was unanimously of the opinion thatlhe mat- ten in dispute between Drs. Maine and Roche were not sufficient to justify an inquiry. The difference, be added, was found to have been the outgrowth of a brief conversation. The trouble had been fully settled between Drs. Roche and Maine in the presence of the commit- tee, and after shaking hands the two brothers had agreed to forgive and for- get. This announcement was greeted with applause. - Dr Roche was not satisfied to let the matter pass in this wise, and he stated that the committee had declined to go into the merits of the case. The question of his integrity and business honor had been raimd and he failed to see, he said, how a committee could pronounce a question of ministry, righteousness and Christian character too light a matter to justify an inquiry. He had been lying under this charge for two years, and he felt thatlthere was sufficient reason for an inquiry into the merits of the case. Chairman Bill explained that the com- mittee hid declined to go into the finan- cial qurillions in dispute between Dr. it who and the Brooklyn Church union. Its duty kad beento see whatthe trouble was between Dre. Mains and Roche. and in tlist the committee found nothing but a slight misunderstanding of achance conversation. As the brothers were ready to shake hands he said the committee had nothing to do but to give thanks. Dr, Maine the: stated that he had never questioned Dr. Roche's honesty, and that he had never used the word “integrity" in any conversation with Dr. Roche. So the matter was settled and the confer- ence accepted and adopted the report of the ocaiflttss. Compm'art‘ was made by Dr. Joseph P lasinst the makeup of the printed minutes, which he claimed was not up to the standard 'rtquirsd by the New York East conference. Dr. Buck ley agreed ith Dr Pullman. He criti- cised the advertisements in the minutes, one of which he declared was that of one of the most gigantic frauds ever per- petrated on an American public. He thought there ought to be a committee of revision to edit the printed minutes and to determine upon what should go into the minutes and into its advertising pours. The conference ordered the ap- pointment of such a committee. and these were named to that service: Joseph Pullman, of Bridgcpori; \(leorge P. Mains. of Brooklyn; William '1‘. Hill, of New Haven; Arthur B. Sanford. of Brooklyn; W. ii. Barton, of Birming- ham. Elitor Buckley precipitated a dis- cussion on the conference just before adjournment, by moving that the roll for the contributions for the anperun. ousted endowment fund, which was opened eight years ago, be again open- ed so as to give recent comers, who are candidates for its bsbrfits, a chance to subscribe. J)r. J. Wesley Johnston, of Brooklyn, took exception to this as a new comer. Ballad been in other con. furnaces and subscribed, and he did not like to be placed under pressure to sub. scribe to this One. In. Buckley said Dr. Johnston's position was all right. provid- ing he would agree to go back and die in the conference to which be had subscrib- i-d. llr. Buckley's ffl'llitlfl aui finally truest-d, anti an hour upwinteii just be forethii reading of app .inlmiints when all the ministers would be [mo-stint and have an opportunity to subscribe.

A'l‘ ONI‘IILLION DOLLARS. A Son of the up Lear-nil Lockwood. of Norwaik. asks the Investor and lasso- trla to Explain “hat has Bsosms of his father's happened Large l'ort'nnw. Edward Eugene Lockwood is a clerk in a dry goods store in Houston, Tt'x-sl, and draws .15 a week as salary. Be is the youngest son of LeGrand Lockwood, who died in New York in 1871, leaving, it is said. an estate valued at several mil lions Edward wants an accounting of the estate, and applied for it yesterday afternoon, in New York, before Surro- gate Fitzgerald, through Lawyer Albert 1‘. Pntrick, of Leeds, Patrick dc Ironside, No. 40 Wall Btl‘i‘ot. LtGrand Lockwood was well known in New York. He had an income of more than 8,000,000 a year. His office was in Wall street, but his business opera tions extended over two continents. He owned ships and steamers, bought and sold foreign railways and canals, con- trolled large syndicates and speculated in the Stock Exchange Just before his death Lockwood is sup- posed to have engaged in losing specula- tions, though it Was not thought that his immense fortune was seriously impaired. Two years before he died he built a house in Norwalk, which cost about $1,500,000. At the time it was said to be the finest residence in the country. When Mr. Lockwood died Edward was eight years old, the brother being much older. Anna Louise, LeGrand's widow, was appointed executor of the estate and hstameutary trustees of the youngest child. No inventory of the estate, it is claimed, was ever filed. When hire. Lockwood died in 1882 she appointed her son Letirrtud, and llf‘l' brother. James H Benedict,” her ratcli'urs. fir. Benedict, who isabrother of E. C. Benedict, Mr, Cleveland’s financial adviser and friend, did not qualify, .and the executorship went to the son. Be, it is claimed, filed on inventory, and at his death, April 1, 1887, his widow, Kate fl. Lockwood, became execntrix. Then Ilr. Benedict qualified on the terms of the original will, claiming, the record shows, that there were assets to beasttled. In this instance also there was a failure to file an inventory. Ed- ward Lockwood appealed to the execu- tors several times fcr his share in the es- tate. but was informed each tiuie, it is said, that there was nothing to divide. Be at length became satisfied with these answers.and settled down to commer- cial pursuits in Texas, thinking his inter- est in the estate was worthless. The income tax was passed a few months ago, bowewr. and that fact aroused an interest in the large incomes of the country. Some of the newspapers grim lists of the vast estates and proper ties in New York city. and Edward Lock- wood saw in this list that his father's es- tete was still valued at more than Si,- 000 000. He did not have money enough to come North to prosecute his claim, but consulted attorneys in Texas, through whom the proceedings were in- sillult‘d. Mr. Patrick has been investigating the condition of the estate as far as poesible, but he would not any yesterday what the result had been. ‘ l have no right to he. siiepii'ioris."sitid he, ”and still less right ti cast my sui- plcions before the public. My client's broiliv-rsand relatives, howevrr, are all well-to-do men, prominent iti business, while he is working for a small salary in aTt-xas store. We want. to search the consciences of these persons and to find out whiit has become of this vast entitle." The present action is brought against Janice ii. Benedict and Kate Ii. Lock- wood. tlie Widow of the platntill'a broth- er. 'i‘liounswer put in by Mr. Benedict, as it applies to the case when he qualifi- ed anion-cuter in 1538, says there was nothing to account lor, as no property ever passed into his hands. In the ac- counting asked for as to his eiti-ctitorship ofthe estate of Ann Louise Lockwood when she was the cxecutrix of the estate of her husband, Mr. Benedict pleads the statute of limitations, and says that the accounting was not asked for within seven years after the coming of age of the petitioner. Kate H. Inckwood, who is asked to account as the executrix of the estate of LeGrand Lockwood, also pleads the statute of limitations. w M... .
