Did Fa-yorweacher Understand Hou- nu
Money 1m Distributed?
New York, Jan. 8.-—-There is likely
to bee. serious contest over the millions
left by Fayerweather, the rich leather
merchant of New York, who left sev-
eral colleges large sums of money.
Rev. Dr. Wm. Lloyd, the spiritual ad-
viser of the deceased, has made an af-
fidavit that he was not allowed to see
the dying man although he waited four
hours in the house and was then told of
his death. It is said that a codicilwhich
Mr. Fayerweather signed enriches the
three executors of the Fayerweather
estate and :that the signature is very
inlike that of Fayerweather. Mrs.
Fayerweather has scored a point in the
case in not being required to make her
objections to the will more specific.
Lawyer Cowdert, Mrs. Fayerweather’s
counsel, hints at fraud and says that
there will be startling developments in
the near future.
Thomas G. Bitch, of Stamford, one
of the members of the law firm of Ar-
nowx, Bitch 8: Woodford of New York,
drew the will, and is one of the execu-
tors of that instrument, in which they
control about $3,000,000 of the property
left by deceased.

SECRETARY BLJ RTE SHED.
Baltimore, Jan. 7.—Secretary Blaine
has been sued by Jacques VanBaalte, of
Glasgow, Scotland, and the United
States has been joined as defendent
for $250,000, the principal and interest
on bonds'which VanRaalte bought of
the seceded states during the rebellion.
The action is brought in the United
States circuit court for the Maryland
District, and is based on Secretary
Seward’s proclamation of July 28, 18.68,
in which he declared that neither the
United States or any state shall pay any
debt or obligation incurred in rebellion-
against the government. The plaintiff
claims that the bonds were issued prior
to the proclamation and that Secretary
Seward’s action was an illegal interfer-
ence with vested rights protected by
solemn treaty, and that the proclama-
tion destroyed the negotiability of the
bonds. Should such a case prevail, it
is thought that there would be cease—
ess and endless litigation, but there is
_- thought to be no prospect of VanBaal-
te’s succeeding in his suit.

New Haven, J an. 8. -'—A second skele-
ton was found yesterday at Greenwich
avenue and Sea street, by Christopher
Donegan and his men while engaged
in grading the street. Medical Ex-
aminer White is of the opinion that
this, as well as the skeleton found Dec.
24, indicates foul play, and that the
bones of the latter were those of a
young girl, and that both the bodies
have been buried within twenty years.
Both the skeletons had low foreheads,
from which he infers that they belong
to a low class of people. They were
buried about three feet only beneath
the surface, which shows that the bodies
must have been buried clandestinely,
and apparently at different times.

Col. Wm. H. Stevenson in a recent
interview says that an attempt is being
made to cripple the terminal facilities
of the New Haven and Derby railroad
at New Haven, as he is informed and
believes and he insists that the prop-

stands was acquired by purchase from
the Derby road and that in the pur-
chase the right of the latter road to lay
and occupy tracks to the New Haven
depot was granted without payment of
damages therefor and he intimates that
the Derby road will insist on the ful-
fillment of such agreement.

THEY WHIPPED THE MESSENG-EL‘, .
Spokane Falls, VVashq Jan. 8.—A
Sioux runner came to the Cceur d’Alene
Indian reservation to day or two ago,
and endeavored to induce the members
of that tribe to join the hostiles. Chief
Salt Ice, of the Cosur d’Alenes, ascer-
taining his mission imprisoned him in
the guard house two days, and then
had him publicly whipped, after which
he was sent to his tribe with a warning
to mind his own business-in future.

A cultivated lady, presiding over a
pleasant home'in one of Boston’s su-
burbs, took her three daughters to call
upon Mr. \Vhittier, at his home in
Amesbury. The poet received them
cordially, kissing the youngest, a
bright little girl of ten. ' “There i”
said the delighted‘mother to the child,
.‘ ‘now you, as well as your sisters, will
have something to be proud of” “What
is that?” asked Whittier, with interest.
The lady explained that when her older
daughters were children, she had taken
them to call upon Longfellow, who had
bestowed upon them a similar mark of
attention. “What Longfellow has
done, I surely may be permitted to do,”
said the grand old poet, gallantly, and
stooping his tall form, he kissed both
young ladies, who blushed and looked
conscious, bufismiled delightedly.
AN lJIl’lnt'I'ANT DECISION.
Judge Seymour of the Supreme court
gives an opinion in a case brought be-
fore it in which the city-of Waterbury
is plaintifl' against the New England
road. The superior court had decided
that the road was entitled to $250 for
bridging Fifth street, in that city. As
the bridge cost $7,000, the road wanted
the city to pay half the expenses.
Judge Seymour says that grade cross-
ings are public nuisances. If this is re-
garded as a proper construction such
crossings will come under the juris«
diction of the city police.

WASHINGTON W tl’EllS
Galvin S. Brice Working Hard to
Have the Subsidy Bill Passed.
GOGKRBLL’S POPULARITY.
Missourians Believe Hols the Greatest
Man in the Senate. and He Can Stay
There as Long as no Lives—A
Man \Vho Will Be Missed.
lVAsuIN-GTOX, Jan. 10.—-’A vote will not be
taken on the subsidy bill until next Tues-
day. While the friends of the bill pre-
tended that they desired to take a vote on
it last. night, the truth of the matter is
that both sides wanted to postpone it
as long as possible. There are a larger
number of absentees at the present time,
but it is thought that next week there will
be a good attendance in the house.
Brice on Hand.
In the mean time the subsidy lobby is in-
creasing in size and importance. Senator-
elect Calvin S. Brice, the chairman of the
Democratic national committee, is here
working hard to have the bill passed, and
it is believed that his influence-will amount
to something on tho Democratic side of the
house. Mr. Brice attracts great attention
here. Last night he had a long consulta-
tion with Senator Gorman. It is believed
that no matter whether Hill or Cleveland
should be nominated for president he
would continue the chairman of his com-
mittee, as that is the wish of Senator Gor-
man.
Gonlal and Approachnble.
There is no doubt that Mr. Brice would
like to see Mr. Cleveland nominated, but
as chairman of the national committee he
considers that he should be impartial in
the matter. However, he has been recent-
ly saying a number of nice things about
Governor Hill. Mr. Brice is a very genial
and approachable man, and it is predicted
here that personally he will be one of the
most popular men in the senate.
A Man Who Will Be Missed.
The present member of congress who
will be greatly missed in the next house
will be John Wiley, who represents one of
the Buffalo districts. For a. first termer
Mr. \l’iley has made a useful member, and
he is a universal favorite, not' only among
his colleagues, but with everybody in
Washington; and his charming wife is
just as popular as he is. It is asserted
ohat Mr. \Viley could have been venom-
inuted and re—elected if he had so desired,
and it is also said that he contributed just
as much to the campaign fund of his suc-
cessor as if he had himself been a. candi-
date. ’ .
. Cockrell’s Popularity.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, who is
down for a speech on the silver question,
holds the affections of his people to agreat-
er extent than probably any other man in
public life in this country. ,In Missouri
every man who is a Democrat is a Cockrell
man, and he is pretty sure to remain in the
senate as long as he lives. At the end of
his present term he will have served for
eighteen years. \Vhile in Missouri he is
considered the most valuable man on the
stump that the Democracy has, and while
it is next to impossible to make a Mis-
sourian believe that he is not the greatest
man in the senate, it ‘must be admitted.
that the senator does not attract great in-
terest by his speeches here.
Conkling's Compliment.
It is generally admitted, though, that
personally he exercises a greater influence
among his colleagues than any other sena-
tor. The late Roscoe Conkling paid him
probably what was the greatest compli-
ment he ever paid to any man. On the
occasion Coukling had just come into the
senate while a vote was being taken, and
he was not familiar with the question that
was being considered. In answer to the
call of his name Mr. Conkling replied that
he would vote as did the senator from
Missouri. He then took occasion. to say
that he would accept Senator Cockrell’s
word as gospel on any subject that might
come before the senate that was not a po-
litical one. ' . ‘
A Remarkable Memory.
The senator has probably one of [the
most remarkable memories for names and
faces of any man in the country, and to
that fact is largely due his great political
success. He can return after half a. dozen
years’ absence to some old farmer’s house
and ask after a dozen children, calling .
each by name. He defeated the great ex-
Governor John S. Phelps, who was proba-
bly the ablest man Missouri ever had ex-
cept Benton, simply on account of his re-
markable memory, through which he won
the affection of the people.
' “An Infernal System."
W'ASI-IINGTON, J an. 10.—'The annual con-
ference of the board of Indian commis-
sioners of the United States, with repre-
sentatives of the various religious bodies
interested in the welfare of the Indians,
was held here yesterday. Senator Dawes
expressed himself as strongly opposed to
the proposed transfer of the Indian bureau
to thewar department. .
Professor C. C. Paintor referred to the
reservation system as “an infernal sys-
tem,” and the Hon. Hiram Price, ex-com-
missioner of Indian affairs, said the sale of
firearms to the Indians on or. off the res-
ervation should be prohibited; that the
agents should be paid more, and that the
Indian commiSsioner should have more
power. At the evening session the causes
of the present Indian outbreak were dis-
cussed, and the conference then adjourned.
Flower Would Take It.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 10.—A Washington dis-
patch to The Sun sa'ys: Representative
Roswell P. Flower. of-N'ew York, when
asked concerning his candidacy for the
governorship of that state, said - to a Sun
representative that he was not making
any effort to secure the nomination. He
spoke very frankly about the matter,
however, and had no hesitation in saying
that if the nomination were tendered him
he would accept it. The posit-ion, Mr.
Flower says, is one of great honor, ‘second
only to the presidency itself, and any citi-
zen of New York should be proud to occu-
py it. He is not, however, seeking the
honor, and if he accepts it he says it will
have to come tohim unsolicited.”

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—The city of her birth
has bode a and farewell to Emma Abbott,
and all that is mortal of the little song—
strcss reposes in a vault in Graceland
cemetery. The vast throng which filled
every nook and corner of the spacious
Central Music hall Friday morning, and
the equally large crowd on the outside,
which strove in vain to gain admittance,
was a strikingly popular tribute to a typi-
cal American girl, who from a lowly posi-
tion had by energy and determination
carved out-her path to fame and fortune.
The remains, clad in satin of spotless
white and inclosed in a magnificent casket,
rested at the foot of the platform. The re-
ligious services were conducted by Pro-
fessor Swing and Rev. Dr. H. W. Thomas,
while: mixed quartet rendered “Nearer,
My God, to Thee” and other sacred selec-
tions which were favorites with the late
prima donna. In the audience the The-
atrical lodge of Elks attended in a body,
while in the balcony and galleries the very
rich and the very poor were indiscrim-
inately mingled, and there were few dry
eyes in the vast assemblage when’Pro-
fessor Swing dilated on the endearing
characteristics of the deceased. At the
conclusion of the services those present
were afiorded an opportunity of taking a
final farewell, and the casket was then
closed and sealed.
l . The procession of carriages which formed
the cortege to Graceland cemetery was over
half a mile in length. The honorary pall
bearers were J. H. McVicker, Harry L.
Hamlin, Thomas W. Prior, Mllward
Adams, H. J. Powers and W'. J. Davis.
The active pallbearers were C. H. Pratt,
Signor Preuette. Signor Micheline. and

A BONE GBAFTING OPERATION.
It Was Rough on the Dog. but Will Prob-
ably Cure the Boy.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 10.—Six weeks ago
Sammy Radin fell at his home in Ger-
many and broke his right leg below the
knee. His leg was set, and the family
emigrated to Pittsburg. On arrival here
it was discovered that the broken bone
had decayed for a space of six and a half
inches. The boy’s parents would not per-
'mit amputation of the limb, but consented
to have bone grafting tried, and the boy
twas removed to Mercy hospital. Yester-
day the operation was performed by sev—
eral surgeons of prominence. Two black
and tan puppies about five weeks old were
procured. The lad’s condition was excel-
lent, he having slept well and had a good
appetite. He was not: put under the in-
fluence of any drug, but sat up and wit-
nessed the whole operation. One of the
dogs was used; Ls.- other reserved fora
second resort.
Ether was administered, after which the
lower end of a. hind leg was amputated.
The dog’s bone was pinched off with for-
ceps in about thirty pieces. These were
placed in the granulations of the tissue of
the boy’s leg where it had surrounded the
bone. The wound was then covered with
oiled silk, and the-leg dressed with anti-
septic gauze. The dog used died from the
effects of the ether. The physicians say
that everything favors a successful opera-
tion.
Non-union Men Attacked.
LYNN, Mass, Jan. 10,—Au angry crowd
of . several hundred persons gathered
about the morocco factory of John E.
Donallon,where a. large force of non-union
men 15 employed, yesterday afternoon, and
gave vent to their anger by throwing mis-
siles through the windows and insulting
the men. The police had to be called to
disperse the mob. It was expected that
the scenes of the afternoon would be re-
peated in the evening, and a large force of
police was on hand, but no demonstration
occurred.

the Rev. Frank Rand, who has been a mis-
sionary in the Carolina islands for sixteen
years, confirms the news of the recent
fighting on the islands between the na-
tives and the Spanish soldiers.
Further details show that in the first
forty of them were killed. Some time af-
ter that a Spanish man-of—war bombarded
several villages, and the troops afterward
went ashore and destroyed a number of
houses by fire, including the king’s palace
and the missionary buildings which were
on the islands adjacent. A detachment
of eighty soldiers landed at Uaua, and set
fire to the buildings there.
The natives attacked them, and all but
cue, including an officer of high ' rank,
were killed. Dan was afterward shelled.
Groves of cocoanut and bread fruit trees
were destroyed. On the Sunday following
a detachment of Spaniards efiected a land-
ing on Ponape and sixty of them were
killed, the Ponapens losing only thirty.
On the Saturday following another party
landed and burned all of the houses of the
natives, church. schoolhouse and mission
buildings on that island, including the
Rev. Mr. Rand’s house, 'in which there
were stored several thousand dollars’
worth of Ponapo books and a great lot of
personal property belonging to the mis-
sionaries. The women and children were
then loaded into small boats and taken to
the island of Kusale, where they would not i
be molested. Consul Band will ask the
government to station one of the: men-of-
war recently ordered there at Ponape until
affairs are finally settled.
The Bogus Divorce Lawyers.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-—Lawyer William
Duryea Hughesand his partner, ‘Villiam
H. Buttner, who have swelled their in-
comes by the procuring of a series of
bogus divorces, were brought to court
Friday for pleading. Buttner was the first
called, and after. glancing at the two in-
dictments he declared that the one charg-
ing him with forgery was a mistake and
an outrage. “I am not guilty as to this
one,” said Mr. Buttner, “and as to the one
charging me with larceny I would like to
be given until Monday to consider it.”
His request was granted. Hughes was
then called to the bar. He asked to be
allowed until Monday also to enter his
plea. .l iis .wish was complied with. It is
though.- that Hughes will plead guilty on
Monday, while the opinion is that Buttner
will make a fight before acknowledging .
his guilt.
Carrlngton’s Terrible Death.
MORGAN CITY, La.., Jan. 10.4The'Law-
rence homestead, situated on the outskirts
of this city, was burned Thursday morn-
ing. \Villiam T. Carrington, ex-collector
ofthis port, occupied the house and had .
been seen there at a late hour the previous
night. In searching the ruins the remains
of the unfortunate gentleman were discov-
ered near the fireplace in the parlor. It is
thought that in endeavoring to escape
from the flames he was overcome by smoke.
An investigation is going on to determine
whether he was foully dealt with and the 2
house fired to cover up the crime. It .is l
the general supposition, however, that the l
affair was accidental. Mr. Carrington was I
a native of Virginia, and a member of i
one of the oldest families in the state. He I'
served on the stud of Gen. Magruder dur- 1
ing the late war.
Fire Raging in 9. Mine.

ning a stream into a mine breach, which
had been filled with rock and Was exposed ;
by the washing away of the calm from the
surface, steam arose and was shortly fol-
lowed by flame. This indicates that a fire ;
is raging in the workings, and the oflicials '
have become alarmed, as two large col«
