He also avers that he was legally adopted | by the Monniers with the consent of his own mother. These contentions are set forth in legal papers just filed bate department of the Su- by Attorneys Sullivan ullivan. The name of the mother identity of the Judge who are not contained in the p-ction of the adoption rec- s of department 10 of the Superior Court discloses facts at variance with irs. Monnier's statement that the boy not been adopted and with the laration that he is the sed. application to Judge Charles Halsey for permission to adopt Charles Dewey, aged three y onths, was made by George and hanna M. Monnier on April 14, 1882, It was stated that the child had been in the care of the petitioners and that the consent of his mother. Mary E. Darling, had been given for the adop- tion. It was also sta.ed that the boy’s father had been absent from the city and State fo some years and his hereabouts was unknown.

MRS. MONNIER’S STATEMENT. C2 the occasion of a motion for con- tinuance of the trial of the contest in Judge Coffey’s court Mrs. Monnler at first denied that she had ever partici- pated in any adoption proceedings, | then said she did not remember such an incident. Before that her deposi- tion had been taken for use in the hearing and she testified that George Jr. had been brought to her home by a Mrs. Darling. - In support of his request for a postponement of the case the young man made an affi- davit stating that he had never heard that he was not Monnier's son until the widow so testified and he desired time to investigate his parentage. The identity of his father, if it was not Monpier. is still a mystery. The amendments filed yesterday by the young man assert that George and Anna Monnier were married on Janu- ary 3, 1863, and that on or about June 18, 1878, the contestant was born of a woman other than Anna Monnier and that George Monnier was his father. During the year 1882, it {is said, George Monnier publicly acknowledged the child as his own son and received him as such with the consent of Anna Monnier into the family and from thenceforth until the day of Monnier's death. .eptember 4 last, continued to acknowledg> him as his son and treated him as if he * cre a legitimate child. On April 14, 1882, continues the docu- ment, the mother of George Monnier Jr., Anna Monnier and the boy ap- peared before a Judge of the Superior Court and the mother signed her con- sent to the adoption of the child b; George and Anna Monnier. Then d order was made authorizing the adop- tion and an agreement was signed by Monnier and his wife that the boy should be treated as a lawful child. It s also claimed that after that time Monnier acknowledged in writing that the contestant was his own son. TO CHANGE JUDGES.

Y., Nov. 2.— The explosion of over a ton of dyna-! mite under the Bond street bridge at 1| jo'clock to-day shook the city and the| | surrounding country within a radius | of five miles, killed at least one person | {and injured nearly forty others, two of | | whom may die. The man supposed to| have been killed was an Italian in charge of the dynamite. There were 2300 pounds of dynamite | stored at the side of the deep rock cut| running from the western limits of thEJ lclty to the New York, New Haven and | Hartford rallroad station, which was | | used for blasting a path for-additional | tracks. The explosion tore a hole in the ground eighty feet deep, that is now ! full of water from a hidden spring, | wrecked the Bond street bridge over ! the railway tracks and broke all the windows wichin a quarter of a mile. The force of the explosion hurled large stones for blocks. Many houses were shifted from their foundations, walls were stripped of plascter and furniture was splintered. | Most of the persons injured were | caught by falling ceilings and walls in ' the houses near by. Stoves in stores! and dwellings were overturned and| | many fires were started, but in each | case the flames were quickly extin- guished. The whole police force and the fire department were called out. Chief of Police Foley at once arrest- ed Willlam F. Ryan, foreman of the gang of workmen empléoyed on the blasting operations, and many wit- | nesses are now held while an investiga- | tion is being made into the cause of the explosion. The dynamite was owned by the Egly-Bunty Construction Company, | which is doing the blasting for the rail- road company preparatory to the es-| tablishment of the four-track system. | Those supposed to be fatally injured are Mrs. George A. Harlow and Mrs. Nicholson and child, four months old. —_— set for yesterday in Judge Coffey's court, subject to a possible postpone- ment of the Dolbeer case. Mrs. Mon- nier and her attorney, George D. Col- lins, were present, and so were young Monnier and his lawyers, Matt Sulli- van and Theodore J. Roche. When ‘udge Coffey overruled a motion for continuance of the Dolbeer case Mr. Collins asked him if the Monnier con- test would be retained on the calendar. The court replied, “I.have said nothing about that,” whereupon the attorneys went to Judge Graham to ask if he would try the case in his department. Receiving a favorable asswer, they made a stipulation for the transfer of the action and will so move in Judge Coffey’s department to-day. If the motion is granted the fight for a halt of the $150,000 fortune left by the wine merchant will be under way before the Dolbeer case nears its finish. ———— s OPENING OF POST STREET.—City En- gineer Woodward filed a report with the Board against | congratulation was sent to President { Domingo Improvement | moned here by the Spanish Consul { | beard engine and this affected in a PEACE TREATY 1§ POPULAR French Statesmen Pleased With the Hay-Jusserand Arbitration = Agreement PR S Ra ROOSEVELT IS PRAISED Congratulated by Members of - Parliament for His Efforts to Aid Mankind —— PARIS, Nov. 2—The report of Jus- serand, French Embassador to the United States, on the signing of the Franco-American arbitration treaty 'was recelved by Foreign Minister Del- casse to-day. The latter will not sub- mit the treaty to Parliament for rati- fication until the Embassador's mail report with the signed text of the treaty arrive. However, the officials here have made sufficient inquiry in| regard to the sentiment of the Parlia- | ment to show that the treaty will be | ratified promptly and, perhaps, unani- mously. At the call' of Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, a special meeting of the | Parliamentary group on arbitration was held to-day to take action on the | Franco-American treaty recently signed in Washington. There was a | large attendance of Senators and Deputies. The following cablegram of | Roosevelt: “The arbitration group of the French | Parllament congratulates you for the services you have rendered for the! peace of the world by your firm sup- | port of the work of The Hague con- ference.” The meeti{ng also sent its congratu- lations to Lord Lansdowne and Count Lamsdorff, respectively Foreign Min- isters of Great Britain and Russia, on their reference of the Anglo-Russian dispute to arbitration. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The French arbitration treaty, concluded yester- day, will be followed by a treaty with Italy, which, it is expected, will be ready for signature early next week. The French treaty, while not yet rati- fled by the lenate and consequently not in force, is believed to be so care- fully framed as to insure favorable ac- tion in the last stage. If this is so, it will be the first arbitration treaty of general scope to which the United States has been a party. —— e GERMAN WARSHIPS MAY BE | SENT TO SAN DOMINGO | e | Kalser Protests -Agalnst Arbitration | Award in Favor of New York Company.
