An Old Will Brought to Light.

A suit in chancery was began yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court, which
involves the right of possession to nearly
6O00 acres of the choicest lands in Ross and
directly or Indirectly hundreds of persons,
and among them Ex-Governor William AZ
len, the sage of Ross. His splendid home
stead near Chillicothe comprising $50 acres,
and known as Fruit Hill Farm, is part of
the land involved in the suit. The action is
brought by the grandchildren of the late
General Duncan Macarthur, to recover pos
session OF the real estate which belonged to
him at his death.
On the twelfth Of Nav, 1899. General
Duncan Macarthur, ex Governor of the
Northwestern Territory, died at Chilli.
cothe, possessed in fee simple of twenty
nine tracts of land, in the counties Of Ross
and Pickaway. Just previous to his death
be executed a somewhat eccentric will, de-
vislng his vast estate to his grandchildren
lnstea d OF his children direct. Five Of his
children survived him: Allen Camobell,
James Med, Ellie, Eliza Ann and Mary.
OF these the following grandchildren were
begotten, and are now parties plaintiff to
the suit IN chancery: Adors M. Morris.
Efiie Jones, Flora Macarthur Tee Snsie
Van Bibber, Allen Campbell McArthnr
Smith Macarthur, Nancy Wolfkill Harry
Macarthur, Thomas M. Anderson. Minnie
Olde, Harry Anderson, Charles Anderson
and Etfie Scott, the last being stan.
daughter of Governor Allen.
The will provided that the estate shopId
be held in trust for the grandchildren
After taking out letters testamentary. the
three executors resigned, and refused to
execute the provisions OF the will, This
seems to have been done by the mutual
agreement Of the five children Soon alter
ward 1.-THE court not having appointed other
executors, as the will provided, in case of
death or resignation) there was meeting
of the children, and they agreed to divi-
sion of the estate. To Efie, afterward Mrs
Allen, as part of her share, was given the
homestead, known as Fruit Hill Farm
The will then passed from the memory of
the community. General McArthur's chill
dren, as years went by, divided their land,
and sold parts of it to strangers, who in
turn subdivided it and resold it to other
purchasers, until to-day there are over one
hundred owners OF it embraced in the
chancery suit. Every person who has held
any part of the estate since the Generals
demise becomes party defendant.-Cin-

President Grant on Finances.

The Democracy currency caucus d,d nc I
draw nearer to compromise on Saturday
night than it was before, and it is probable
that on Thursday next, when it meets
again, Their, will be the same desuitory de-
bate. The question has permeated every
part of the work Of Congress, so far, and
had q very demoralizin2 effect in every
vay, The Democratic majority has held
of to avoid the issue in the New Hamp-
shire election, which takes place next
Tuesday. 1t is a question whether on
Thursday. no matter what the result
in New Hampshire may be. they will
not hold off until after the Connect
cut election before deciding, then wait
for the Presidential conventions, and then
paes 9 bill simply p0etponing the date OF
resumption and enforcing the gradual ac-
cumulatien of coin. Whatever of political
considerations may surround the currency
question and whatever the result of the
elections may be, the entire administration
solidly and without an iota of disposition
to compromise, is for practical resumption.
No eophistry can divert that strength; no
skipjack currency or resumption bill can es-
cape veto. Let both houses OF Congress
pass q suspicious currency or resumption
bill and the President will. veto it as GER
tainly "a taxes and death are two things to
be met. The President will stand post
ponement of the date of resumption end an
enforced gradual accumulation OF coin for
the purpose, but nothing more. He would
veto bill proposing to suspend the sinking
fund, unless that proposition were coupled
with some determination on the part OF
Congress to make it ill out a PLAN, feasible
way of reaching resumption at an early Pc
Rod. He would not consent that the bur
den Of 6ccumulating coin shall tall entirely
upon the government, if anything new
should come up in the matter, but would
insist tn ut the banks should bear their part
of the responsibility, the circulating notes
of the government and the banks being
about the same in amount. He wants sill
yer to replace the fractional currency as
sOOn as practicable, and sees way to do it
easily, dollar for dollar, in twelve months,
the government taking that responsibility.
So your readers may see that Congress
has not all to cay in this matter. The
President is the final resort He would
gladly advocate extension of time for re-
sumption and gradual accumulation of coin
by the government and national banks,
but he will veto an absolute repeal of the
resumption act or any intricate theoretical
proposition to replace it. No one knows
this better than the recognized leaders of
the Democratic party in Congress. Messrs.
Kerr, Morrison, Wood, Payne, Randall,
Lamar and others of the leaders are thor
oughly convinced on this point, and the
probabilities are that they will yet manage
the irreconcilsbles. If they do not they
will lean on the judgment Of the President,
thirds vote in either branch of Congress to
override his veto. After all, it will be
found that the President is the balance
wheel in this affair. and have given his
views above Washington Correspondence |
