AN EDITORS ESTATE
Petitioners Who Seek To Control Its
 WanaOement.

Management.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Two petitions were filed this morning in the probate court in the
 case of Wilbur F. Storey. The original pc
 tition of Henry C. Kelly, 8 creditor of Mr. Storey, declared the Times editor to be a distracted person and asked on that ground for the appointment of a conservator on his
 estate. This document was filed July 21.
 To-day's petitions comprise one from Eureka c. Storey, the wife of the editor, and one
 presented by w. c. Cloudy, representing the
 blood relatives and alleged heirs. Mrs. Storey's petition is to the effect that for sev- eral years it was her custom to accompany her husband to the Times office; that she so became familiar with the
 management of the establishment;
 that after Storey's health became impaired,
 at his request the petitioner continued to
 visit the office almost daily to give directions
 in regard to its affairs; that upon the return
 of the petitioner and MT. Storey in 1884 after
 an absence of some months it was found that the circulation of the Times had materially
 decreased and that there were gross irregu-
 larities in its management. She charges that
 the proceedings by Henry c. Kelly are in the
 interest of Austin L. Patterson, the busi-
 ness manager of the paper, and other employees who wish to control it's management. She asks the court to appoint her, as Storey's wife and trusted agent in the management of his affairs and his appointed exeeutrix to manage his estate after his decease, conservator of the estate or else allow her to appoint some suitable person in that capacity. The other petition is from the relatives of MT. Storey. They also ask to be allowed to designate conserv-
 ator. The hearing of the arguments in re- gard to the petitions was set for Friday.

The Story of EIIison's Illness.

BROOKLYN, N. Y., Aug. 18.-An officer of the Greedy relief expedition gave to the United Press reporter this morning the mel anchoIy story of Sergeant Ellison's protHacted illness as he received it from Lieutenant
 Greely's lips: ''The most touching incident of Greely's retreat southward from Lady Franklin bay" said he, Twas related to me
 by him as follows: The party was struggling along weak and scarcely able to move. Eli
 son was helpless and had to be drawn along on a sled They had also 160 pounds of pro
 visions to carry The load was too much;
 they could not make any progress and they felt that they must leave poor Ellison to die
 or abandon their little store of provisions.
 Ellison saw the dilemma and begged them to leave him and go on with the food, for he knew that he could no longer be of any use in this world. It seemed the wiser thing to do, but the mems hearts were touched and their love for the man would not admit Of their leaving him alone to die. So they left the provisions and brought their comrade on to Cape Sabine. This does not look like 8 pack of heartless and brutal cannibals, no sir; they are men to the last, every one of themn

Rough Treatment For g Negro.

FREDERICK, Md, Aug. 18.-Twenty-fiv men boarded an excursion train from Garth ersburg camp meeting last night at Tuscarora and took negro passenger named Clarence Nelson therefrom. The party hustled him off to the woods, shot him twice, once in the head and once in the arm, and left him for dead This morning Nelson made his ap- pearanee in this city bearing evidence of the rough treatment he had received and swore out warrants against dozen rich farmers for shooting and beating him with intent to kill The cause of the trouble was that Nelson some time ago made threats against several white ladies and spoke disparagingly of them The farmers, indignant at the negro for this, drove him from the country and charged him not to return. He did re- turn, however, last week and last night re, ceived part of the punishment threatened him.

The Sun On RutIer,s Letter.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-The Sun will to- morrow say editorially: Butler is out with declaration which leaves no doubt as to his motives in running for President against both the Republican and DemocrattU- candidates. In the first place he is running in good faith and with a single view to the ultimate tri- umph of the principles he upholds. He is neither a stuffed Republican nor dummy Democrat. We do not agree with General Butler in some of his opinions. With his hearty contempt for humbug, his uncom- promising demand for reform, his hatred of corruption, his genuine devotion to the in terests of American men and women and his true Democracy, the Sun is in thorough sym pathy. There is novelty and interest in General Buffers frank exposition of the method by which he means to make his can didacy count There is nothing in the con stitution which requires that the electoral vote of any State shall be rendered as a unit General Butler defines policy which will give full effect to the ballots of his SUD- porters. His plan is fusion everywhere with the supposed minority on the understanding that if the fusion ticket prevails the electoral vote of the State shall be divided between Butler and his allied candidate in that State in the ratio of their respective votes. The suggestion carries with it the possibility of Interesting if not astonishing results.
