DIR. lIINTZER'S WILL.

Hearing of Evidence Upon the Contest
CIosed-Argument Set for Friday Next at
Bpm.
The hearing in the Mintzer will case
was continued yesterday before Judge
McGrorty, of the probate court The first
witness was Col. j. H. Davidson, who testi-
fed to having several business transactions
with DR.. Mintzer, deceased. during the last
few weeks of his life, one involving $4,000
in the course of which he visited deceased
twice at his house, and twice at the
hospital during his last illness.
On one of his visits at the
house he asked Mrs. Mintzer to leave the
room temporarily, but she refused, saying
that if anything was to be said she was de-
termined to hear it. In his opinion de-
ceased was in his right mind and as COM
petent to transact business during the last
few weeks of his life, as at any time pre-
vious since a resident of st. Paul, and GOV.
ering the time in which he had
acquired his property. Charles Flynn,
foreman of the farm of deceased
for some time before his last
illness, and attendant upon him during a
good portion of that illness, testified as
TO occurrences during that period, and pro-
nounced deceased in his opinion in the full
possession of his mental facilities up to
and after the making of his will.
DR.. Alfred Wharton, who visised deceas-
ed about the time of making his will, testi-
fed that in his opinion he was fully COM
petent to transact ordinary business.
Henry M. Williams, the attorney who
drew the will; detailed at length the in
terviews and circumstances and explana-
tons given by deceased for its terms, in
al of which, in his opinion, deceased
showed no signs of mental derang ement.
With this the executors rested their case,
and Friday next, the 18th, at p. NJ, was
fixed by Judge McGrorty for the matter to
come up for argument.

Whu Arthtr,s Letharnu.
New York Star

When Arthur was Collector and Boss in
this city, he had reputation for energetic
political management. He worked. He
showed nerve, will, grit. He was active
and forcible. He knew what was going
on, and had hand in pretty much every
thing that took place. He was recognized
as a managing force in city and State
politics. And it was largely on this &C.
count that he was taken up as a candidate
for VicePresident at Chicago.
But wonderful change has come over
the man Arthur since his elevation to the
Presidency. He appears dull and over
come with inertia. He does nothing
promptly. He postpones everything he
can possibly put off. He makesno appoint
ments he can avoid making. He takes no
active interest in anything of public ma
ture. He has no policy, no suggestions to
make, no plans for the future, no political
programme for his party. All the public
business is behind. The Administration
is lifeless and inert. There is no interest,
no force, no energy, no will, no head. All

WITH Harvard University it is a custom
to confer the degree of l.. L. D., upon
each successive Governor of the state and
twenty-seven chief magistrates of the COM
mon-wealth have been thus decorated. 1t
is now Gov. Buffers turn to receive this
literary honor. Some of the Boston aris-
tocrats are Directing, and it is said the
Harvard faculty are in doubt what to do.
As far back as Gen. Jackson's time the
title was bestowed on him, though the old
wings made ridicule of the bestowment.
Among the later Presidents Grant and
Hayes had the decoration thrust upon
them, little as it became them. However
honorable or to be coveted the title may
once have been, it is quite cheap tinsel
now, and Gov. Butler can get on very
well without it. 1t is question however
if Harvard can so we'll afford to trample
upon its traditions of a century and be-

proposed or threatened omission involves.

IN Old Board Returned.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 8.-The annual
meeting of the Indiana, Bloomington &
Western Railroad company was held in
this city to-day. There was very large
representation of the vote and the old
board was reelected, with the exception of
Mr.. Edwards, in place of Mayor Hennessy,
who declined reelection. The annual
report showed an increase of gross earn
!ngs of $914,160, and in net earnings of
$23O,OOO over the previous year. While
the increase was due mainly to increased
mileage, considerable increase was shown
on the business of the old mileage. The
report showed that the physical condition
OF the property had been improved and
that traffic alliances promised to greatly
increase the revenue of the Ohio leased
lines.

West st. Paul, May 5.

The Bangor Wing and Courier learns of
the death at Corinna, Me-, under peculiar
circumstances, of George Parkman, who
lived a mile north of that village. He
formerly lived in Palmyra, and last Sun
day was married to Mrs. Myra Mills, and
came to her home to live. About 1 o'clock
yesterday morning he complained of being
sick, and she rose and prepared some herb
tea for him. He then jumped up and ran
to the honse of neighbor, a distance of
twenty rods. He raped at the kitchen
door and woke some of the inmates. In
the meantime Parkman's wife and her
mother, who resides with them, followed
him, and as they entered the yard he at
tackled his wife. The two women finally
gained entrance to the house, and Parkman
was told to go away. He then jumped
through the kitchen window, smashing the
glass and sash. Mr.. Footman, in whose
house this occurred, stepped forward to
help him down, and Parkman clutched
him, and getting Footman's thumb in his
mouth, began chewing it. Footman was
obliged to choke Parkman to make him
let go, and then, with the assistance of the
women, tied him. Shortly after being tied
Parkman died.
