The Will of W. S. O'Brien to be
Contested.
AWIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN
TIE CONTESTANTS.
O'Brien's Offer to Compromise
Before Els Death.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nav 10.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.
The Examiner prints the following
prominently this morning: Since the
death of MIR. WIN. 5. O'Brien, the
bonanza prince, various rumors have
beer in circulation in regard ocontests
of his will and estate. 1t has become a
matter of surprise, of late years, If any
estate OF considerable mount was not
contested on some plea or other. From
all we car learn, the will of the de-
ceased millionaire will be contested,
and that the papers are now being PRE-
pared to that effect. The contestant
represents herself to be the wife of
VIM. 5. O'Brien, and she claims
that she vas legally married to him,
and the result of the union was four
children, now living. Her attorneys
are claiming for her one-half of the
entire estate. Who her attorneys are
is not known at present, but reports
named a leading firm, who stand at
the head of the bar; but we under
stand from persons conversant with
their business that they never take
these kind of cases. The contest
ant is said to be a lady of French de-
scent, about 40 years of age. 1t Is
represented that several years ago she
resided on Powell street, but more
recently she took up her residence
with Mr.. O'Brien at his residence o
Suffer street. 1t is also said that de-
ceased settled S250,000 on her about
two years ago, and that six months
before his death he offered to com
promise by giving her $500 900, on
the condition that she would u
all claims upon him; this she refused.
These rumors are in general clrcula-
ton, and are published only al ru-
mors and for what they are worth.

TuE PARIS EXHIBITION.

The New York Sun has the following
to say of the great Paris Exhibition (;
The buildings of the Paris Exhibition
are situated on both sides of the Seine,
and are vast in their proportions, and
both imposing and convenient in their
architecture. When it is complete
there will be many new and original
features In the Exhibition, and by mid
summer it will be a sight as well worth
going far TO see as such things ever are.
One of the most interesting of these is
q Japanese village in a separate en-
closure, where visitors Will have an
opportunity to study the exact manner
of life OF hat interesting people. A
Chinese pagoda has also been put up
by native workmen. Holland will
beautify the park of the Trocadero
Palace with a bed of forty thousand
Dutch tulips, and q ast aquarium will
have q place there; a cascade thirty feet
In width will fall over marble steps
into a basin six hundred feet distant;
great stretches of gardens, containing
many hothouses with rare plants, will
lie to the right of the Palace; two la
crate and beautiful fountains will
throw their streams thirty feet into the
air; a superb Algerian pavilion will
adorn the grounds; and innumerable
structures of varied architecture will
be scattered about.
The main building, situated on the
Champ de Mars, is 1000 feet in length
by 1000 feet in breadth, and when all
is ready it will contain the most extern
sive collection of the works of art and
mechanical skill yet gathered together
at q worlds fair. France will, of course,
make the grandest show, but England
also has made great efforts to have a
representation which shall command
admiration, and her exhibits will be
more numerous and imposing than
those of any other country besides
France. Germany will not appear
except in the way of paintings, and for
the sake of peace and harmony Prince
Bismarck is wise in keeping away. 1t
is easy to understand that Frenchmen
could not tolerate the exhibition of the
productions of Alsace IS German
goods. The United States will make a
fair show.

Our Extinct Volcano.

Dan. DeQuille has found a volcano,
which he claims as his own, and gives
the following description of it.: AL
though little has ever been said about
1t, we have an extinct volcano within
about three miles of this city. 1t is the
largest of the several mountains lying
Immediately west OF American Flat,
and a short distance southeast OF the
Virginia and Gold Hill Water Com
pany's big reservoir. Those who doubt
what we say have only to visit the
mountain mentioned to be convinced.
All the top and east side is covered
with lava. In places the lava is from
ten to twenty feet in depth. 1t is light
brown in color and is honey-combed
with holes resembling the openings in
sponge. The place where the crater
once was is clogged up with this lava.
The only depression on the mountain
is a large sink on the west side, where
a part OF the crust of the earth appears
to have fallen in. Before water was
brought from the Sierras for the use OF
the city, the old water company ran a
tunnel under this large basin or de-
preston, thinking to tap a good de-
posit of water. The mountain being OF
great height snow lies till late In the
season on its northern slopes, and the
wat or from the melting drifts finds its
way into the sink. 1t was to secure the
water thus collected that the tunnel
was run. For some eason all the
biologists, our State geologist and all
others, have failed to make mention OF
this. our extinct volcano. Nor have
they ever said a word about the lava.
They probably thoughtit the groupings
of a sponge mine or something else
equally valuable.

THE Moffett bell punch has been
improved ON very materially by an
other device invented by an ingenious
Mississippian. His plan is to have re-
tailers of Intoxicating drinks buy cou-
pons of the State instead of paying a
license, and give n to each person
purchasing a drink. AS the State is to
take the coupons for taxes the drinker
will be sure to insist upon his coupon
when he pays for his drink. With the
Moffett punch the State may be cheated
because the drinker has no personal
interest in seeing that his drink is reg
istered. The Mississippi genius has
remedied this defect.

THE STATEMENT OF SUPERINTEND-

thing necessary to do the work properly, and

glad to use it, provided it can be made to

connection between the Water C0mpany's
main pipo and the Richmond Company's
reservoirs, which, in case of n con1agration,
will more than double the supply, and. to-
gether with the amount W hich ought to be

1t makes no difference how many physi-

it is now an established fact that German
Syrup is the only remedy which has given

sands IF persons who are predisposed to
throat and lung affections, consumption,
hemorrhages, asthma, severe colds settled on
the breast, pneumonia, whooping cough. ETC.,
who have no personal knowledge OF Bosehee's
