CONSTRUCTION OF AN OLD WILL
The Baltimore .7merican of Tuesday
says, there was in progress last week,
and still continues on trial, in the City
Circuit Court the suit of the heirs-at-
Law OF the late George Stonebraker; the
question involved being the construc-
ton Of his will. There are fourteen
lawyers engaged in the ease. The will
was made in 1882 Mr.. Stonebraker
died in 1885, leaving some sixty or sew
enty thousand dollars of property to his
wife, with the exception of few small
legacies. The will provided for further
disposition of the property on the death
of Mrs. Stonebraker, the residuary lega-
tees being the Lutheran Congregation
OF Boonsboro, the Second Lutheran
Church of Baltimore, and the American
Colonization Society. Mrs. Stonebra-
ker being now dead, the question at
issue is whether or not the property
shall 90 to the heirs-at-law, to the ex-
clusion of the residuary legatees named.
The former claim that the bequests 10
the latter are void under the conditions
on which they were made.

WHO KILLED BENJAMIN NATnAN'-
II will produce" said Secret Service
Detective John Porter, 1.-The NIGER
schaum pipe, tobacco box, and watch
taken from Mr.. Benjamin Nathan i'm
mediately after the murder aud aiida-
Wits clearly setting forth the cause of
the murder, and by whom planned and
executed.
This assertion was made few days
ago in rendezvous of Secret Service
detectives in the Bowery.
"Cale Gunnion, Jonny Irving, and
Billy Forester were brough; by Kelley.
the housekeepcrs son, into plan TO rob
Mr. Nathan's safe" the detective added
"Mr. Nathan was very regular in his
habits. lie returned home invariably
between 10 and III o'clock at night.
Before going to bed he always smoked
his merschaum pipe, wound up his
watch, which he put on night table at
his bedside, rs also his tobacco box.
Young Kelley found the men above
mentioned, and admitted them TO tho
house.
Mr.. Nathan returned home, called
Kelley to his room, and gave him or
ders for the following morning. lle
closed the doors, and retired, as il was
thought, TO bed. At o'clock in the
morning, Kelley entered his room and
found him sleeping. lie then admitted
Gale Gunnion and John Irving, Billy
Forester being left outside the house,
to give warning in case of danger. IL
was while Gale Gunnion was trying TO
force the safe open with the dog that
Mr.. Nathan reused from his sleep See
ing Kelley he asked him what he was
doing there. Before Kelley could re-
ply, Gale Gunion sprang up, with tho
intention OF running away, when Mr.
Nathan grappled with him. Gunion
struck him on the head with the dog,
and as Mr.. Nathan staggered out OF the
room, Gunion struck him again killing
him.
Detective Porter said that he can
procure aflidavits corroborating this
story, and that Gale Gunion bad repeat
edly express regret at the killing. Gun.
ion is in the Albany Penitentiary, hav-
ing twenty years 10 serve; Irving and
Forester are in Sing Sing, and Kelley
is in Auburn. The detective, last eve
ming, reiterated his assertion that be
could produce the watch, box and pipe,
and, if further evidence was needed, OBJ
tain confessions from Kelley aud Gun

Col. MosBr.-Colonel Mosby, ex-
guerilla. is described by a correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Gazette as man
of medium height and thickness, with
light gray, nervous eyes, and hair OF
subdued mouse color, just beginning TO
shade down into gray. "Wben he was
young and ardent it was probably et-
ragged rat color. He appears ever TO be
looking for somebody, and if your eye
meets his you at once fancy you are tho
man he is looking for, or that he means

an inquiring look; bat, whatever il Is |

ascertained that Miss Van Lew bad lost

He very earnestly admouished us TO
"set our house in order" and very beat
tifully portrayed the gain which the
Christian receives in the transition from
this sin-cursed earth to that better world
beyond. Appropriate remarks were
then made by several other ministers,
there being seven present. Rev. DIR.
Diehl, of Frederick, in the course OF
his remarks bore testimony 10 the very
high place which he occupied in the
affections of his clerical brethren, and
also Of his ability and success as Min
lister of the Gospel. He was very
promising and worthy young nan, a
graduate of Pennsylvania College, and
had been IN the ministry about five
years. He stated, further, that this was
The first death that has occurred in this
Middle Conference since he belonged TO
it, which is over twenty-five years. The
Rev. Mr.. McFadden, of Harpers Ferry,
also added his testimony 10 what had
already been said, by announcing that
he was acquainted with the Rev. Mr..
Friday during his entire ministry in the
Ferry, aud said that none knew him
but to love him, and added that he was
sure that Mr.. +. had not an enemy in
Harpers Ferry. This leads us to think
that he fell at the hands OF 4 stranger.
The services over, an opportunity was
offered TO view the corpse, ana many
gathered around the caSket with stream
ing eyes to take farewell glance at
him whom they loved. The body was
then conveyed to the Lutheran Cemete-
~ and deposited in the bosom OF moth
er Earth, there 20 await resurrection at
the last day. Aud may the Lord 10y
his grace prepare us aliOoo to receive
that great gain in death, is the prayer
of your humble servant. ,.

Berkshire Manufacture of Blue Glass

The Springfield Republican says:
A Berkshire glass manufacturing firm
is making about 10000 feet of blue
glass week, with the expectation of a
considerable increase, and is shipping
now something like three tons day.
Having sufficient stock ofplain glass
on hand, they have put their whole
force on the fashionable shade, and,
during its manufacture, the works
present more than their usual attrac-
tons for visitors, for the glass, as it is
blown by the skillful workmen, is
wonderfully beautiful, changing in
color as it changes in form from the
glowing ball of molten sand to the
great, deep-blue cylinder, which the
workman, strong of arm as well as of
lung, whrls around his head as if it
were toy. The coloring matter for
the blue shade costs five times as
much as all the material for batch
of plain glass, but it takes no more fuel
or labor and is sold at about double
the price of common glass. Some of
the importers have been selling blue
glass which is blue only on one side,
the color being flashed on as it is
called, after the glass is made, but il
is claimed that this is not as good as
that which is blued in the pot The
glass is generally sold in sheets just as
it is fiattened, and the dealers cut it
up to suit their customers.

eligibility of electors to whom OBJ
iections had been made. In Louisi>
ana and Oregan the persons elected
who were ineligable resigned their
federal offices before the electoral
college met, and, Furthermore, either
resigned the electoral Office also, or
were absent when the electoral col>
lege met. Under these circumstan-
ces they were elected to fill the va
cancies created by their own acts,
which was done in accordance with
state laws and tho law of congreas
on the subject passed in 1915
Throughout these proceedings the
eight republican members of the
Commission never varied their
course. Having decided in the Flor.
ida case what were the limitations of
the congressional action in the mat.
ter, the same being necessarily the
limitations upon the Commission,
they adhered to that decision until
the end. They acted in the spirit
of the law throughout. They decid-
ed in effect that the voice of the PEG.
pie OF p state, as expressed in the Of
fetal 4 termination of the choice of
electors, cannot be silenced by the
will of congress, such as existed in
Oregon that every state is entitled
to its full vote in the electoral COL
lege, and to have that vote cast by
the men who were lawfully electors
when the electoral college met and
acted. In holding that eligibility at
the time of acting as elector was all
that was necessary, they still ex-
pressed the spirit of the law /: for our
history is full of presidents, such as
that a man who is elected to the
House before he is quite TWENTY-FIVE
years old, will be seated when he
reaches that age. But while the re-
pubIicans were thus constant to
principle, the democrats abandoned,
for artisan end, the leading dog
ma their creed. They sought to
invade the rights of states to degree
subversive of their voice in the
choice of president. They thought
to rob several states of a vote upon
a mere technicality of law, and suffi-
GENTLY showed, by contrast with
their opponents, tbat consistency is
not democratic, but republican
jewel
