THE wife of Alfred e. Watson of Hart
ford, secretary of civil and military affairs
for Governor Pingree, is a granddaughter
of John Anderson, the New York tobacco
mist millionaire, who died in Paris in 1881,
leaving fortune estimated at from eight to
fourteen millions of dollars. BY his will
the bulk of his fortune went TO John Charles
Anderson, his son, with a provision for
100000 each to the children of the late
Judge George G. Barnard, who married his
daughter. Now suit to test the validity of
the will has been brought in behalf of Mrs
Watson, who is still minor, the daughter
of a daughter of Mr.. Anderson. The suit is
one of ejectment for property worth over
million dollars.

saw that they had visitors, and, being bash
full, he went to the barn and took horse
blanket belonging to Mr. Vincent and the
wolfe-skin robe from Mrs. Pecks sleigh and
ensconced himself in favorte nook in the
barn. thinking he would take a nap. When
Mr.. Vincent was ready to return home the
articles were missed, and, not being able to
find any one, but finding fresh tracks to the
barn, one was left to keep guard while the
hired man and Mr.. Vincent's son-in-law
started out to follow the track and find
from whence the thief had come They
followed it about six miles, calling at some
six or eight houses and waking up people to
make inquiries. 1t was nearly morning
when, foot-sore and weary, they reached
home, after tramp of nearly twelve miles,
no wiser than when they set out. Late in
the forenoon the German was discovered
and made his explanation, which the Misses
| Peck are inclined to accept, in view of his
| former truthfulness and honesty.
