esting one and a humber of witnesses
were examined. The defendant claim.
ID that he was not liable for his wife
and daughters board, a. they had lief,
his home OF their own accord. They,
however, asserted that they were driven
from their home by cruel treatment.
The daughters testimony WAS very sor.
rowtul. She stated that her father

ence Of liquor, abused her and her
mother ami threatened them with bodi.
ly harm She was cross examined by
the attorney tor the defendant and con-
tradicted her former statements in one

every means in his power to proven,
the set atalion. 1t wAs further stated

Death of Al Old Teacher.

Yesterday AFT rnoon Miss Elizabeth
Richards, An aged school teacher, died
at the residence of Charles Poinsett, 3O2
W. 7th street, At 3 o'c ock, her disease
being general debility consequent upon
old age. Miss Richards was born in Phil
Adel phia, her father being a sea captain,
but Of her age nothing dehniteis known
only that she has nearly rounded out .
century Of life.
When = young lady she commenced
teaching primary school IN fhiladel-
pbia, where she taught % years. Az
forwards she removed TO Wilmington,
" here she taught the same kind OF .
school for "a years more, making q total
Of 70 years in which she has been en-
gagged in teaching. 1t is doubtful If
such . history as teacher can be ex-
celled. Ifshs had her school history
written In . volume, what an interest
ing work 1t would be. There are men
and women in Philadelphia who are
now past the age OF four score years,
who received the elementary prin iples
Of their education from Miss Richards,
and there are those past the age Of sixty
in Wilmington who learned their b
c's in ner quiet little home.like school
The last place she taught WAS on
Orange street above Sixth, but owing
TO her extreme age and debility, she
WAS compelled with much reluctance
to relinquish her favorite calling y cou-
Pile Of years ago. She has no very near
relatives in this city For many years
she made her home with the Fo'hergill
family, hut when Mr.. Harry Fothergill
removed to Steelton, Dauphin County
Pa, she remained With Mr.. and Mrs.
Poinsett the latter . F0thergill before
her marriage Miss Richards WAS de-
won't Friend and . member Of the Ninth
and West streets meeting, Her re-
mains will be buried on Thursday, At 2
p. ~, from that meeting house. Inter
ment in the Wilmington and Brandy

WASHINGTON, Jan. N.-Ar. Van
Wyck, whose resolutions OF inquiry
10 frequently startle the Senate ana
furnish newspaper correspondents ioi
weeks after with paragraphs, which
lead the country to expect disclosures
of the most dreadful and sensational
character, did succeed to-day In spread
ing dismsy among his colleagues by
asking unanimous consent that further
consideration of tho reciprocity treaty
with Mexico be had with open doors.
Such an unbsard Of proposition
brought ut once number OF the Older
members to their feet. 1t was not TO be
thought Of that WAS clear. 1t would
be contrary to oil precedent. lnnova-
tions Of this character could not be tole'
rated for moment.
Mr.. Anthony, who has taken no
conspicuous part In debate Shus iar,
seemed almost indignant o. he rose aud
declared that 1t was not In order 10 re-
ceive In open session what belonged 10
an executive session. Senator harris
b happened to be in the chair when Mr..
Van Wyck offered his resolution. He
had scarcely finished the CUSTOMARY
sentence, "Is there any objection, etc,
when Senator Cameron, from Wiscon,
sin, was heard to growl, " ! object.
Netting remained for the Chair to dc
but to declare 1t outof order. Mr.. Van
Wyck, however, If anything, Is per
sistent He promptly appealed from
the decision Of the Chair. This was TIT
signal for . general protest.
Several Senators were attempting tt
catch the presiding officers eye. SIEVE
raj threatened to make speeches, when
Senator Edmunds, who hail temporarily
left the chamber, stepped forward and
moved that the doors be closed and the
appeal be disposed OF at once. Thi'
was d0ne-when the doors we're 70,
opened the storm had passed away and
sunshine reigned once more. Mr.. Van
Wyck's resolution had been laid Oh
the table under the rules until TO-
morrow, when it is hoped another scene
like this will bs avoided.

admission Of the will TO probate in the
Orphans' Court and the payment by
the executors to the legatee, Mrs. Eliza
Ann Byers, wife Of John Byers, of $25,-
Of the 80, 600 devised by the testator.
This case is one Of peculiar interest,
and has been strongly contested. j..
Henry Hoppe was . citizen OF west
minister, and died interstate in January,
1881. His estate was administered
upon by Or. J. W. Heving, Ed. Hoppe
and L. g. Myerly, and amounted to
about $50, 1000.
They had proceeded very far in clos.
ing up when Eliza Aun Byers and
John Byers, her husband, through
their attorneys, Col. VIM. p. Mausby
and Judge John L. Smith, presented to
the Orphans Court . paper AZ VIII.
The paper was writing upon the BACK
of q letter to Mrs. Byers on some bust
ness, and was as follows:
Ann, don't worry Yourself about
this matter, as you zee you are almost
cut out on every side by your father and
your mother, but you have been q
faithful daughter to me, and have obey,
I'd me, and you have seen great deal
of trouble. Don't worry yourself, but
take things easy, and do the best you
oan for the present. have prospered
and have accumulated great deal OF
money together, and intend to do what
I please with IL. And Ann, after my
death you are to have foriy Thousand
dollars. This You are to have, will 81
no will. Take care of this letter until
after my death. Ann, keep this u
Yourself. 81. HENRY HOPPE.
"To Eliza Ann Byers."
The Mrs. Byers to whom the letter
was written was . Miss Eliza Ann
Geatty, and was raised by Mr.. Hoppe
She was not his daughter, but he sc
termed her, - he used to speak of her
being ~ daughter to him. Mr.. Hoppe
had but one child, q son, who died be-
fore his father, leaving = wife and sew
sral children. The paper was contested
by the executors ~ . forgery. Ths
case was removed from the Circuit
Court of Carroll to that Of Washington
County, where i. WAS tried In June, 1882
The executors were represented by
Hon. c. b. Roberts and Col. Charlie,
Marshall.
The jury, after . ten days, trial, dc
sided the paper genuine, having bsel
written and sbgned by J. Henry Hoppe
A new trial was asked and refused and
