cornelius Makes New Departure-Wil-
liam and Associate Executors Asked to
be Enjoined From Further Service-Wil-
liam Charged With Wild Speculation in
Which Several Millions of the Old Mans
Estate Has Already Been squandered
New York, Jan. ga petition was filed
to-day IN the surrogate's court by Cornelius
-. Vanderbilt, in which complaints were
made against William n. Vanderbilt and
other executors of the Vanderbilt will. The
petition prays the court to issue a citation
requiring the executors to show cause why
they should not be superseded and that thew
may be enjoined from further acting in the
premises until the matter in controversy
shall be disposed of. Hearing in the matter
has been set down for Monday next
The petition charges, among other THINGS.
that William Fl. Vanderbilt is speculatino in
stocks on gigantic scale and to greater
extent than has ever been known and that
to carry on such speculations he has used
and is using the assets of such estate to
| very large extent as collateraIs on loans or
otherwise, and has borrowed and is owing
over the sum of eighteen million dollars for
| speculatlng purposes: that he has lost in
such speculations several millions of dollars:
that he is of an excitable and reckless tenn
permanent and is endeavoring to sustain the
will in expanding large and unnecessary
sums of money to procure and intimidate
witnesses, and has declared that to sustain
the will he would spend the whole estate in
litigation; that he is not only wild and reck
less in his financial operations, but
is charging his railroad interests by paying
more than the interests purchased are worth
and is using the assets of such estate for this
purpose greatly to its hazard; that he is con-
tracing large debt to railroad corporations
of which he is president, by withdrawing for
his o IN benefit large sums of money from
them. to which their creditors or stockholders
are entitled: that such money is withheld bv
him and appropriated to his own use by
various controversies: that the aggregate
sum diverted is very large and is recklessly
invested and does not increase the value of
the estate while subjecting him to large
liabilities, which may be enforced against
him at any time, and that the habits, associ-
atoms, speculations and expenses, are such
as to create the belief that the property he
controls will ultimately be Waste:.

The vicinity of the Sioux valley, in
Northwestern Iowa and Southern Da-

fires this spring in loss of lives and
property. The Sioux Falls Paragraph
says: "The tremendous growth of
vegetation last year covered our prairies
with body of grass more rank and
dense than has before been known for
many seasons. The low lands were
jungles, and the high knolls covered
with more grass than usually grows in
meadows. This condition of things
has furnished so much fuel for prairie
fires that they have swept over the
country with a fury unparalleled"

A Hint at Prehistoric Mystery.

Recently mound was excavated on
the farm of Mr.. Benbow, five miles
from Rutledge. A canal some six feet
wide was dug from the outer base to
the center, q distance of about forty
feet, and some twelve feet at the center.
Nothing was discovered to tell who, or
what race of people, were buried there,
nor the date of their burial, but it must
have been long time ago, inasmuch as
a chestnut tree stood on the very top of
the mound, sixty-fve years ago, that
measured nearly six feet in diameter.
We found numerous human bones and
teeth under layers of a sort Of cemented
crust all the way through the whole
distance, which dissolved into dust soon
after being dug up. Many people be-
lieve it to have been an ancient burial
place for Indians, but they never pos
sessed tools to execute the fine carvings
upon the hardest rock that have been
piowed up in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the mound for the last sixty
years, nor had they firearms to scatter
the bullets all over the surrounding
fields, and the mystery of who or wha,
race of people lived and died here be-

WHEN the now famous Cetywayo

great trouble, for, instead of looking
after the royal cattle, his special duty,
he passed nearly all his time at Grey
town, the nearest English town. There
he amused himself after his manner,
drinking brandy, which he could not
get at home, and smoking pipes, which
his dignity prevented his doing among
his own people. He paid court to the
ladies, and had the reputation of going
the pace.

Aunt Lucy and the Little Girls.

MR. EDITOR: According to promise 1 will
talk this week to the little girls. / have been
wondering what to select for my subject
There are girls of all sizes and all ages and that
which might be suitable and interesting for
one would be Just the reverse for another
think had better commence with the little
wee ones, and remember the older ones an
other time l wonder if there are any girls
ow-a-uays young enough to play with dolls
1t is astonishing how quickly they grow out Of
babyhood and childhood, and ignore childish
things. This letter is for little girls that are
old fashioned enough to love to play with dolls
Sometimes Santa Claus, or some other kind
friend, gives such expensive, elegant dolls that
they must be put away for safe keeping and
only brought out once in great while.
When / was little girl 1 prepared doll
that could play with at any time, and not feel
afraid of injuring. Now, want to ask the lit
tie girls who makes their dolly's clothes
Mother! Well, she is very kind, but, if you
are old enough to learn to sew, she would be
very kind to let you try to sew for your dolly.
Now, if | were you, would have pretty little
box, or nice little work-basket. In it / would
sewing cotton. Then l would ask mamma to
let me peep into her piece-bag, and would get
an assortment Of muslin, calico, silk, flannel,
ribbons, and edging Get some kind friend to
cut some patterns, or you can buy patterns II
you choose. Ask your little neighbors to join
you, anu WORK tOgetncr. lou can take your
sewing and play @come to see." All little girls
know how to do that With little patience
and practice You will soon learn how to sew
very nicely, and when you grow older you will
be able to sew on your own clothes.
When was little girl, they did not have as
handsome dolls az they do now, neither were
the toys as elegant; yet l dare say we took more
solid comfort, and enjoyed LIES happy hours
almost TO perfection.

A SENECA county On. W farmer ar

of $3.50 by three-card-monte men. He
said he knew he was dealing with sharp

out the right card, he went his whole
pile, which amounted to $3.50. The dealer
afterward condoled with him and told
him to "brace up" returning $500 of the
money. An officer at Rome succeeded
in getting $500 more of the old mans
money, and, after giving him lecture
on the vices of gambling, sent him
home.

EXPERIMENTS in London have not re-

hours every night from Dec. IA to
March g. The total cost for sixty-four
nights, as reported by the engineer of
the commission charged with the light
ing of the city, was something over

electricity fer the year would be f3,072,

M. GAMBETTA keeps growing fat.
Some five or six months ago Sir Philip
Cunliffe Owen gave him the friendly
advice to live on shilling day, and
earn it by walk of four miles, and
Gambetta began walking every day from
the Chausse d'Antin to Vile d'Avray,
on his way to Versailles. Unfortunately
the fact was soon ventilated, and a per-
feet host of applicants began to walk in
the track Of the coming man, 80 that he
seemed to lead an army, and this drove
him off the track and into the seclusion
of cab.
