MRS. M'ALLISTER's WILL.
A Peculiar Contest Over an Alleged
Wealthy Estate.

A Peculiar Contest Over an Alleged
Wealthy Estate.
A peculiar contest has been commenced
over the will OF Sarah L. McAllister,
formerly Mrs. Bagaley, of this city. Her
second husband. Richard McAllister. and
her daughter, Minnie Bagaley, we're ap-
pointed executors of her estate, which
consisted principally Of 5000 shares of
Pittsburg and Lake Superior Iron COM
pany stock, Of which the former is presi-
dent, worth at their face value 5000, 900.
The will was probated in Harrisburg, but
the son, William Bagaley, becoming dis
satisfied at not receiving his distributive
share Of the estate, petitioned for q cita-
tion on his stepfather and sister to show
cause why the will should not be probated
here. The answers were filed yesterday
In the probate court, together with copy
Of the will. According I'd. the document
signed by McAllister, the shares are
largely encumbered and the company in
bad way, leaving but little chance of
any distribution from that source for some
years. The will has provision cutting
McAllister of from his fourth interest in
case of remarriage. The forms of law are
said to have been complied with in Har-
risburg. The hearing Of the petition and
answer will take place before Judge Hag-

A lady about 40 years of age went to
police headquarters yesterday, and said
that her name was Bridget Rowan. She
added that her husband, Richard Rowan,
came here sometime ago to get pension,
leaving her in Nashville, Tenn. She had
not heard from him for long time, and
came to ascertain the cause. She had
found him, she said, with another wife,
and swore out warrant charging him
with bigamy. Bowan was found at
lodging house No. 1l2 B street, and he
and wife No. 2 were still in bed. He was
torn from her arms and taken to Jail,
while wife No. smiled and went away.
The second wife is rather pretty, and her
maiden name was Miss Minnie Hunt.
She was married to Rowan in June last.
Rowan admits that he WAS married to
the .yenging wife in Nashville in 1865,
but declares that she had husband liv-
ing at the time.

Relieving District Bond Holders.
Fir3iaUptroller Lawrence yesterday
rendered decision of importance to
holders of District of Columbia bonds, who
have hitherto occasionally had to wait
some time for the interest, owing to de-
lays by congress in appropriating money
therefor, and the fact that uDexpended
balances wero covered into tho treasury.
He holds that the act of June 3. 1854,
saves unexpended balances of appropria-
tons for interest and sinking fund of
the district, whether now or hereafter
existing, from being carried to the sur
plus fund and covered into the treasury
under the surplus fund act of June 20,
1874. Such unexpended balances become
permanent specific appropriations. Tho
payment of interest will not now be
delayed, but be paid from this unexpended
balance, should congress fail to appropri-
ate promptly.

IN a DARK VALLEY.

90 dark We did not see the sun.
90 lew We felt no morning ray.
A faint blush on the mountain top
No bird sang in that valley dark.
The woods were silent ~ could be-
y The brook with 6ngers on its lips
Crept down to meet the sobbing sea.
So dark we knew not when twas eve,
So low we heard no curfew bells:
The fading of the mountain blush
In silent awe the story tells.
Sorrow crept down the mountain side -
Across the wet, dead leaves she came
We knew her - ahe nearer drew,
We held her hand and bfeAthed her name.
"But where, oh Sorrow. is thy maid.
The maid called Comfort, where ID she?"
Look high above the mountain ton,
The maiden surely folloWeth me-"
And oh, in Joy We clasped our hands
Our loneliness and grieving fed;
Eyes wet with teara looked up and smiled
The stars were shining overhead!
Like one who mid the desert sand
Findeth . wellspring cool and deep.
And gives to Allan praise and prayer,
Then falls int gentle sleep,
We, who had waited, oh. so long,
For tokens from the Upper Land,
Gave thanks-then rested through the night
As in the hollow OF His hand.
