Contest Over the WIl1 OF n Lntc MIL
liOnnire.
New YORK, Sept 26.-Argumonts were
heard to-day by Surrogate Rollins in pro-
ceedngs in tho contest over tho will Of tho
late Jesse Hoyt, tho millionaire. The mat
ters before the surrogate were with reference
to the filing of an inventory by tho execu-
tors Of the will of the estate of the decedent.
Tho principal matter was an agreement
for an allowance of $4,000 each,
to the widow and daughter of Jesse
Hoyt from tho estate The motion was
previously denied by tho surrogate, but coun-
sci obtained leave to renew it. The point
upon which the motion to-day rests is as to
the jurisdiction of the surrogate to grant tho
allowance asked for. On behalf of tho
motion counsel argued that the previous de.
cision of the surrogate was erroneous and
the sections Of the statute relating to allow
ances did not limit the surrogato's power.
Counsel, in opposition to the motion, said
that the executors to tho will had no obiec-
tion to the entry Of an order granting an al
lowance, providing the court had power to
grant it. In any event. whether the will was
sustained or not, the petitioners would be onti-
tied TO the sum which they now asked for.
The surrogate said he would grant the al
lowance, provided that ho had jurisdiction to
do so.
The papers were submitted and decision re-
served,

a panic at the afternoon performance of

pletely packed with over 1900 people.
The grand entry was being made, when
one Of the elephants attached to char
lot became frightened, and went below
ing around the ring, dashing into the
procession and smashing one or two light
chariots. To add to the confusion, one
of the lady charioteers abandoned her
horses, and they went dashing around
the ring. The wild beasts, frightened at
the uproar, began believing and beating
the bars of their cages. The rest of the
elephants became frightened and un-
manageable. The vast audience, COM
posed largely Of women and children.
was greatly terrified, and rose upon the
seats, and those near the exit made a
rush and jam. For few moments a
general panic and frightful loss of life
seemed inevitable; but the continued
playing by the band treasured the fright
ened multitude somewhat, and the en-
ployss succeeded in getting the unruly
animals out and restoring quiet.

Pigeon Shooting.

Dan Pelter and Jo Joslin took cOnsid-
cradle pride in their craftsmanship, made
a bet last Thursday on the following
terms, viz:
A pigeon was to be let loose and Pelter
was to hit 1t with rifle shot on the wing.
If the next pigeon let loose is shot in the
same manner and hit in the same way by
Joslin, then Joslin wins; if not, then JOS
lin loses.
Both fired and both missed the bird en-
tirely. Referee decided as follows:
1. As Dan Pelter has missed he has lost
his money.
2. AS Joslin had not hit it in the same
spot he had also lost his money.
8. There being, therefore, no proper
claimant for the money it is treasure
trove, and the stakeholder may keep it in
definitely.
The stakeholder invested the money In
circus tickets for the club, and now PelteI
and Joslin are both opposed to gambling
