| TO BREAK WILL.
4 bill was filed Saturday by Daniel and Mark
| UuderhitI and others against Susannah II. and
| Thomas Underhill aud Harriet Curtis to set
aside the will Of the late Edward Underhill.
| They state that in Januar, last Edward Under
hill died leaving last will, BY which he devised
! mis- whole estate to his wife Susannah.
The will was duly rrobated, and John Buck1and
and Mrs. Underhill appontcd executors. Com
I plainants think that Edward Underhill, at the
time he made bis will, was not Of sound mind
| and memory, but was in his dotage, and that
his wife "exervised many untsue acts and fraud
| ulent practices'' to get him to make his will in
| her favor. When he married her he 1as be-
tween 10 and 81 years or age, and she soon be-
! gan to staTyc him and abuse him in order to
| make lin obey her, aud SO reduced his mind to
a condition bordering on imbccIity. It is further
alleged that she married him sole1y tor bis
money, and since his death she has the estate
| inyenloried at only $1,000, when it was worth
| much more, with intent to sell the real estate
and get out OF the State She has been arrested
for larceny. The comp1anants think she Is
hardly fit person ia be executrix, and they ask
| that she may he removed, and also that the will
| may be set aside and declared void.
| THE CHANDLER CASE.
The iutcrminable Chandler case was up again
| before Judge Farwell Saturday morning.
| Mrs. Chandier's attorney wanted to know if
the Judge was prepared to dispose Of the mo-
tion to commit Chandler for contempt for not
paying the alinony decrced. The Judge said
he was not prepared. Mr. Sleeper then asked
for an execution against Chanler's salary for
Janf1ory and FEBRUARY, to make him pay the
| alimonv as it came due.
Tie Judge declined to make such an order.
Ue said that he had committed one man for not
| paving alimony in similar case, md the
Supreme Court had reversed his ruling, and he
| did not propose to make another decision OF the
] kind. This seemed to put dlmper on the
hope of getting anything out Of Chandler, and,
| after some further talk, the argument CAME to
lame and impocant conclusion Without any
| order being made

The scrip clerk got rid OF $780,
The Collector took IN 81, 100 for special assess
