PATRICK SULLIvAN's ESTATE. - Patrick
Sullivan, a wealthy resident of this county,
living near Folsom, died about q year ago,
and soon afterwards, when a will made by
him was filed in the Probate Court it was
contested, on the ground that there were
other wills. He had, it seems, made three
one in 1876, another in 1882, and another in
1884. The latter would of course render
the others void, but its validity is dis
puted, mainly upon the ground that it
was made at a time when he was incom-
petent to perform such an act The whole
matter was stated IN detail in the RECORD
UNION a few months since. Yesterday the
matter came up for trial before Judge Van
Fleet, John T. Carey. Add c. HinkSon. A.
L. Hart, A. Z. Catlin and 7. 2. Ryan ap-
pearing as attorneys for the various claim
ants. A jury was impaneled, consisting of
James McCleery, G.. Landow. C. A. Pierson,
J. d. Tate, John hatcher John F. brennan,
A, Nathan, S. K. Caldwell. c. c. Brown. c.
Barnes, S. Blair and C. \. Nelson. After
taking the testimony of one or two wit
nesses, an adjournment until this morning
was ordered.
METROPOLITAN THEATER. - Fun, d" fast
and furious is the programme offered bys
the Rag Baby company, which COM
mences a brief engagement at the Metro
politan to night. Wherever the company
has appeared the same verdict has been
recorded by the press concerning it-a great
success. The San Francisco Bulletins re-
port of it was " 1t is not of much use to
attempt to describe the absurdity known as
The Rag Baby 1t is n kind OF whirl of
surprises. No one can imagine what is
coming next. The law of sequence is dis
regarded in its incidents but no one cares
for that Effects follow effects, and we let
causes look out for themselves. The idea
of a young man who has no knowledge of
the drug business buying a store and put
ting in charge of it a man as inexperienced
as himself is absurd in itself The audi.
ence expect something to happen, and they
are not disappointed. Something does
happen quite often. The house was densely
crowded" Reserved seats are for sale at
Houghton's, and it viii be well to grab
them quick.
AN ACCOMMODATING FLAG Yesterday
"old glory was thrown to the breeze from
the flagstaff on top of the Clunie building.
1t being the only flag displayed in the city,
almost everyone who passed asked why the
banner was hung on the outer wall" The
first one asked was a gentleman of Demo-
cratic proclivities, who rents a portion of
the building for business purposes. He
replied, For our victory in New York and
Virginia" A Republican, who does bust
ness next door in the same building, said
it was, lin honor of the Republican vic
tories in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New Jersey and Dakota" Both men
We're happy, and ready to- "shoot on the
spot any man who dared to take it down.
