THE WILL OF the late Stephen A. Douglas is
the subject OF litigation in Chicago, just at
present. By the provisions of that will, his
property, real and personal, after paying his
debts, was divided into two equal parts, one of
which went to his wife, the other to his two
children. Mrs. Douglas was named one of the
executors, but never acted, and the other exc
cutor, Daniel p. Rhodes, settled the estate and
was discharged from his duties In 1864. Two
wears after Mrs. Douglas married Col. Robert
Williams, United States Army. Now, a Mrs
Susan Harris has sued the Douglas heirs, the
executor, and Mrs Williams and her husband,
alleging that she holds notes of Mr.. Douglas to
the amount of Sl0,S43. The defendants plead
that the claims are barred by lapse Of time, and

II the weather continues favorable. The officer
OF the ship report no observations had been
taken for eight days. When the ship first struck
there were only a few feet of water over the
bay, the tide be ing low, but the water came in
through the hole which had been knocked in
the ships bottom, and there is now over 10 feet
OF water in the hold. 1t will be impossible II
ascertain the extent of the steamers injuries
until her cargo has been taken out; but it is
hoped the hule may be plugged up and the YES
sci hoated and repaired. She has full general
cargo, part OF which is very valuable. Ragged
Islands received their name from the rough
nature of that part of the coast Several ships
have been wrecked at different times within a
distance OF three or four miles on either side of
where the City of Washington now lies There
are two glt-hOuses on these islands, each dis
tant about two miles, one to the east and the
other to the west of Bear bar; but these are of
course, no protection in daytime or in foggy
weather, and horns, bells, or steam whistles
have not been placed. there to warn approach

near th at one might almost have tossed bis

could not be seen.
