F. Tracy has severed his connection with the Jaw (firm of Tracy, Boardman Piatt, which has generally Ibeoome known as the "Piatt firm." The anouncement, made late yester-1 day, created a whirlwind of gossip in the political centers last night as to what had caused Tracy to break away from Piatt. General Tracy has associated himself with the well known law firm of Coudert Brothers. Family reasons are given as the cause of the change. The general's granddaughter of whom he is very fond, is (married to Frederick R.

Coudert, Jr. His desire to be near her is s-aid to be the cause of the change The politicians see It differently though. They say Tracy has never iforgivem Piatt for inducing him to accept the mayoralty nomination in 1897 when conditions, said to have been concealed from him, made ihis election impossible. Political attacks on the firm, because of the Piatt connection, are also said to decided the former secretary of the navy to quit.

AT THE REFORMATORY President Stnrgls of tlie Board of Managers Stated That the Appointment Was a Matter of tlie Utmost Importance. The board of managers of the New York state reformatory completed their regular monthly meeting yesterday and left last evening for their homes. During the session the board completed plans for important changes in the sanitary -arrangements of the institution. The sta-te architect, who has been at the Institution making a thorough examination, has filed his report, wihiich shows that the present plumbing and sanitary systems at the reformatory are in bad shape and very defective.

The board of managers have spent much time In discussing the matter and have ordered extensive improvements in the sanitary arrange-ments. The present plumbing and sanitary systems will be completely remodeled and proper arrangements made for heating and lighting, as well as sewerage connections and electrical appliances. The hygienic improvements to the building will add to the comfort of the officials and inmates. A new ventilating system will be put in. Paroles were granted to men who had earned them and absolute releases were granted to prisoners who had served their full time.

Several paroles were granted to invalid prisoners and the work of the parole board was completed. Two new handsome cottage buildings are to be added to the reformatory property. Plans were submitted to the board by the state architect and were adopted. These buildings will be about thirty-two feet square and will be erected on the northeast portion of the reformatory lawn. In architectural design and style they will add to the beauty of the property.

When completed they will be occupied by the senior institution physician and assistant superintendent, whenever he may be appointed. President Sturgis of the board was seen last evening toy a representative of this paper. "Vhen asked about the appointment of the assistant superintendent, he said: "That ds a matter which will take some time. The board (has reoived a number of applications for the position, all of which wiJl be carefully considered. We are arranging to examine each of these applicants and will arrange to hold interviews with each, and have them come before the board.

The appointment of an assistant superintendent is a matter of the utmost importance and we will careful consideration. The appointment is made by the board of managers." President Sturgis said that the cottage residences would be so located that they would add to the beauty of the reformatory, and yet not obstruct the front view of the institution. He also stated that the board had received the report of the capture of Convict Farrell, who with two other men, escaped from the hospital. He stated that the reformatory officials expected to have the two other men In custody in a few days. Officials believe that they have the men located and will run them down shortly, through cluea in their possession.

The usual financial report was prepared and a request made for sufficient funds to maintain the running expenses of the Institution for the coming month.

The new medical discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food instead of making the worn out stomach do all the work, give it a much needed rest, and a cure of dyspepsia is the natural result.

You get nourishment and rest at the same time because these Tablets will thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken into the stomach whether the stomach works or not. A cure is certain to result because the digestive organs are given a chance to rest and recover their natural vigor and tone. The Tablets are then no longer To show the manner in which the remedy acts on different people and how quickly and effectually it cured stomach troubles we present a few recent cases. Mr. J.

O. Wondly of Peoria, writes: I was unable to eat anything but the plainest food, and even that often distressed me, but since using one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia, Tablets, I can eat anything and everything I want. Mrs. Samuel Kepple of Girty, writes: I have been entirely relieved of my stomach troubles by your Tablets. I suffered three years with sour stomach and gas at night.

I am thankful for them. Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Barnard, writes: I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best thing' for dyspepsia I ever took.

I recommend them to anyone troubled as bad as I was. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not disappoint because they cure dyspepsia surely and lastingly toy causing the food to be properly assimilated, and cure constipation by producing the proper quantity of bile, and sold by all druggists at 50 cents per package. PLANTING OF THE TREES. In Honor of Mr, and Mrs. Thomas K.

Beecher, The Park church Sunday school yesterday afternoon planted two sequoia trees in Wisner park in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas K. Beecher. The sequoias are the big trees of America.

The funds vere provided by penny contributions from the school children and the exercises attending the planting were very interesting. Mr. and Mrs. Eastman and Rufus Stanley took part in the ceremonies. The military evolutions of the Sunday school wers directed by Mr.

Roswell R. Moss. The school was divided Into eight companies and marched into the park bearing the school banner. Under the skillful direction of Mr. Moss the evolutions were performed without the slightest confusion.

The court of appeals yesterday handed down a decision affirming the case of Joel A. Hamilton against the Owego Water Wrorks company. Mr. Hamilton is a resident In 1896 he was conducting a cabinet shop in the village of Owego which was entirely destroyed by fire. The Owego Water Works company, when the fire broke out, did not have sufficient pressure Upon their mains to furnish water to the fire department.

The pressure had been taken off for the purpose of repairs and before it was put on sgain the building entirely burned to the ground. Through Messrs. Halliday Denton he brought an action against the company for damages and obtained a verdict of over $3,000. This verdict was set aside by Judge Walter Lloyd Smith, who presided. Mr.

Hamilton then appealed to the appellate division where the verdict was restored, and afterwards the Water Works company appealed to the court of appeals with the result as already stated. It is said that there is not another action of the kind reported in any of the courts of the United States, and by reason of the novel features involved this case has during all these years attracted a good deal of attention.
