NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-There is a prospect
of further litigation over the estate of the
late A. T. Stewart. Mr.. L. E. Chitterieve,
who has taken leading part in the actions
brought against the estate by persons
claimed to be heirs, was asked to-day for
information concerning the claim of John
Stewart, of Johnson, Vt. John Stewart
says he is a cousin of the dead merchant,
and has brought suit against Mrs. Stewart
and Judge Hilton for share
of the property. Il know nothing
about the claim Of Jno. Stewart further
than has been published. I have upon
many occasions and to many persons,
claiming to be heirs of A. T. Stewart, ex-
pressed the opinion that the will and codi-
Gil as proved were of doubtful validity,
but probably could not be used az a sue
cessful defense against au heir whose re-
lation to A. T. Sewart could be anaues-
tionably proven"
"Do you think this present claim will be
pushed?"
"Yes, rather think it will, and if
am not mistaken there will be big stir
over it before it is ended''
"Where will the suit be tried?"
sProbably in Vermont. AS A. T. Stew
art died owning real property there, suit
can be brought in that state, which would
raise all questions over the will, provided
the person bringing it could establish is
| heirship."
Judge Hilton declined to say anything
| concerning the matter.

Honor was Instituted here tonight.
The substance of the following was

Waco, July 30.-The fourth quar-
terly conference for Waco station.
Waco district, M. f.. Church, South
was held tonight, Rev. General l.. M
Lewis, ID. d., presiding elder On
reaching the question, "Are there any
complaints ?" Rev. James Mackev.
ID. d., the preacher in charge of the
station, lodged the following complaint
against the Rev. j. X. Street, an or
dained local elder of the church:
Observation-Disclosures of his min
isterial duties.
MISUNDERSTANDING upon the
ordinances of the house of God, such
rs communion, prayer-meeting and
class-meeting.
Third-Non-acceptability as local
preacher.
Fourth-He was mercenary.
He stated that the complaints were
not made in the form Of charges, and
did not affect the moral character OF
the accused.
The disciplinary right If replying
was granted to Mr.. Street. He stated
that for the past five years he had been
on crutches and found it hard enough
to make "A living with one day in the
week to rest. Since that time he had
had no appointments to preach, but
had preached when occasion offered
and he had been invited to do so.
Modesty. he said, forbade his replying
to the third and fourth charges.
The real animus of the affair rests in
the fact that Mr.. Street preached to
the Religious and Benevolent Asso-
citation. This is the true ground of his
non-acceptability, as was developed in
the discussion III the conference,
