A Curious Will Case.

The Shift contested will case came up for
further hearing yesterday before Surrogate
Van Schaick The testator, Mrs. Basilioe
Shift, died in Paris, France, in October,
1875, leaving quite large estate, situated
in New York, Louisiana and France. The
will offered, which, it is stated, is in her
own handwriting, bequeaths The property
the whole equally into sevenths. This
will is dated at Paris, May %, 1861, and
is accompanied with a cedicil dated
June 25, 1869, revoking portions of the
former, making the same disposition of the
property, but ordering that from that por
ton of the property in Louisiana, which by
the laws Of that State must 60 to the son
OF her dece ased son, Edward, shall be de-
Quoted an advancement to the deceased Of
$25, 900, as the codicil concludes: ut is my
will and desire that no part of my estate in
where, shall descend, or 60 to, or be taken
or enjoyed by the son OF my deceased son,
Edward; and go far as l have the lawful
right so to do: hereby cut off and deprive
him from any participation in any part Of
nv estate"
The will is contested by the grandson, q
minor, named Edward Andrews Schiff, now
residing in New Orleans, through his spe-
cial guardian, G. Tillotson, on the ground
that the paper offered is not the last will of
the deceased, that she was not capable of
up according to the laws of the State of
New York, that the deceased was not free
from restraint and it was procured through
and cifcumventi0n, and lastly, that she had
q false impression regarding loan of Us,
600 to the deceased son Edward, which was
induced by those around her. The hearing
ia still on.-Ne,o York Herald.

Lafayette Fire Insurance Company.

The sixth annual statement of the La
fayette Fire Insurance Company of New
Orleans has been presented to the public.
1t contains an exceedingly gratifying &C
count Of the affairs of the company. To
transpose somewhat the statement it shows
a list of assets of $23l, 1872 SO, and an amount
of premiums of $l5,3 1893 IS, to be increased,
according to the statement, by interest,
rents, and profit and loss, by $l0,lS4 72;
the gross earnings being $55,5s3 OF, an ex-
cellent per cent on the assets, and far better
in proportion than many company of more
pretension can present This must be re-
duced by premiums reserved, rebate, re-
turned premiums, and reinsurance $942l 09,
and also losses paid $ls ,796 80; on licenses,
rent, salaries, stationery, advertisements,
etc., $90l6 Sc, leaving as net profit
$ls,34s 80.
This statement is sufficient to show the
prosperity OF the company under the con:
troll of Kaspar Auch, president, Robert
Jackson, vice president, and the board Of
directors, but attention may be properly
called to the declaration Of dividend of
sixteen per cent (e6 per share), January 20.
The directors of the company reelected
the above named officers, and consequently
still greater prosperity to the company may
be anticipated.

Not an Oversight.

The Picayune of yesterday calls attention
to an omission OF the REPUBLICAN's Sen
ate reporter:
The REPUBLICAN yesterday morning for
got to publish Senator SyPher's speech on
the election bill, wherein he said that the
Republicans used artillery against the
Democrats shotguns, and this artillery was
the Returning Board.
1t was not an oversight. Our reporter
probably thought the Senator was quoting
from the REPUBLICAN of January %, and
with modesty characteristic of the staff.
omitted the extract. He was not in the
Senate to fish for compliments, and salts
fed himself and the Senator by giving q
fair report of the rest of his remarks. In
speaking OF the Ret urning Board on the
Friday before the debate, the REPUBLICAN
eaid:
1t may be called q measure which was
emplo7 7ed as an engine to defeat the Repub-
lican party. We regard it as piece Of cap
tured ordnance, which has been utilized to
protect the Republican garrison from the
shotgun policy OF the enemy.
Thus it will be seen that instead of for
getting anything, the REPUBLICAN was too
polite to reclaim it's own ides, which the
Senator used 80 aptly in his argument.

Admiral Bailey was once summoned as q
witness in q civil suit-a position altogether
new to him. His anxiety was increased by
the warning of his friends, who were con-
etantly telling him to be on his guard, as
the lawyers would bother him, and make
him contradict himself and appear to be
liar. The old fellow had sleepless night
before the day of the trial, and when he en-
tered the witness box it was with nervous
ness such as he had never experienced IN
going into battle. When the first question,
"What is your namel' was proposed to him,
his hands fdgeted trembIingiy about, and
the perspiration broke out on his brow. He
was evidently in deep and perplexing
thought, and remained silent the question
was repeated with some emphasis, II ask
what is your name, sirf' with mighty
effort the old admiral jerked out the result
of his deliberations: "Tne o-do-rus Bailey

feeling, that only Britieh team should be
entered, that there is no necessity to call .
meeting on the subject. If l fail IN in
ducing Scotland ana Ireland to join in
