the estate being defendant in four suits
brought by John H. Burke, against j. c..
Flood and others, amounting to S3s 944,-
900. Burke filed oppositions to the distri-
button, together with copies of complaints
in all the actions pending, and which were
demurred to by the executors and legatees
of the estate. Judge Myrick, OF the Pro-
bate Court, in overruling the demurrers,
says that sufficient appears in opposition
to show that a partial distribution should
not be made until the controversy as to
the rights Of Burke is disposed of.
The decision Of County Judge Wright in
the salary pledge question occasions much
diverse comment. The Workingmen, of
course. view it with unmixed disgust, as
part of a scheme to neutralize their recent
victory at the polls. A large portion of the
business classes assert that it serves them
right that they were warned beforehand
that the salary pledge would invaIidate the
election of their candidates, and that, as
in the face Of such warning they persisted
in their course. it is no more than proper
that they should take the -onsequences Of
an alleged act. There is another large
class who, while admitting that the con-
t~estants clearly have the law on their side,
deem it unwise and practically unjust to
attempt to override the verdict of the ma
jority at the polls, and question the propri-
ETY. Of setting aside their verdict on what
is considered a mere technicality. Little il
any weight is attached to Kearney's blood
and thunder u%tterances at the sand lot last
night about putting in officers elect by
force, as that kind Of talk has been heard
before, and has always furnished occasion
for a quare back down on cooler after
thought. The Workingmen held . large
meeting at the sand lots last night. They
were addressed by Kearney on the decision
OF Judge Wright overriding demurrer in
the salary pledge cases. Kearney said the
time had come for action. and that all
Workingmen's Clubs must resolve them
selves into military companies immedi-
ately that their officers elect must be
seated when the day arrives, In spite Of the
decisions OF every Court or Judge this side
Of hell, and by force if necessary.
