Mt. McGREGoR, n. Y, July 6.-The
day with Gen. Grant has been on the whole
one of physical quiet, although he suffered
considerable pain during the morning,
which, however, yielded to treatment
later in the day. About o'clock the gen.

than yesterday, and yesterday 1 was
stronger than the day before.
Strength aids one wonderfully in en-

An Interesting Will Case.

The verdict which was given does
not settle the contest over the will of
Mrs. Valeria O.. Stone of Maiden, which
has been on trial at East Cambridge
for fortnight. The points at issue
were whether Mrs. Stone was of sound
mind when she made the will and
whether she was unduly influenced by
Rev. DIR. Wilcox, the executor, to
whom she left the bulk Of her proper
ty in trust for various educational in
situations. The jury decided that she
WAS of sound mind, but they disagreed,
standing six to six, OH the question of
undue influence.
Mrs. Stone was the widow Of Daniel
p. Stone, Boston broker, who lived
in three rooms at Maiden in Il penurious
way, and dipd leaving 81, 900 900
Tue Stones had 40 or 50 nieces and
Dephews, among them the wife of Rev.
DIR. Wilcox, Il Congregational minister
at Reading. Mrs. Stone was very fond
of Mrs. Wilcox, and by reason of the
intimacy between the families DR..
Wilcox induced the Stones to make
wills in 1876. Stone gave $500, 900 to
his relatives and the rest of his prop
erty to his wife, and two years later
died. When the amount of Mrs.
Stones fortune became known she hir-
ed Wilcox to come to Maiden AS her
business adviser for $500 year, the
same salary he was getting as a minis
ter. The first fruits of this relation
ship were gifts of about 100000 made
by Mrs. Stone through Wilcox to va
riOus colleges and schools, including
Dartmouth, Amherst, Wellesley, An
dover, Drury and OberIin. During
this time DR.. Wilcox and his family
received from Mrs. Stone about $40
600. The other heirs protested, and
$500, 600 was reserved by Mrs. Stone
for her own use, the rest of her prop
erty being turned over to Wilcox aud
Alpheus Hardy under trust deed.
The will which is now contested was
made in 1879, and gave all her proper
ty to DIR. Wilcox in trust for educa-
tional institutions. This included the
$500, 900 reserved to herself and what
ever of Stones $4,000, GOD had not been
given away. All the relatives except
the Willcoxes united tn break tho will.
They charged that Wilcox gained an
undue influence over Mrs. Stone for
the sake of the honor that would come
to him AS the moner of her bounty,

degrees for himself from two colleges,
and by places for several relatives as
teachers in other institutions. The
fight was bitter one and the evidence
covered wide range, Including of
course much expert testimony.
The verdict leaves the question of
undue influence to be decided by
another jury, but whatever the result,
the gifts already made to colleges can
not be affected so that the public pro-
its largely in any event from the
riches of this curious couple.

loaded with new men, surrounded the
lodging house where the new men
were, drove out some of them, and
beat them badly. Then the company
went step further, and elected all the
strikers living in the company's houses
and brought in more men, aud doubled
their guards. The men became even
more desperate. The winter was up
on them. They were homeless, aud
literally suffering for food Many of
them wished to yield. especially those

the leaders were relentless, and prom
ised that in a short time the company
would be brought to terms They
laid their plans secretly. and on the
morning of Sunday, August 81, large
band. disguised with masked or black
ened faces, and armed with firearms,
made IA sudden attack on the chief
mine near the town of Logan. One of
the guards veteran of the civil war
and an industrious man-was killed,
and two others were badly wounded.
The guard rallied, and after rapid
exchange of shots for an hour or SO
drove off their assailants. 1t came out
afterward that these had expected re-
ing the melee the buildings connected
with the mine were fired, and a con
siderable amount of property was de
stroyed. 1t seems to have been the
intention of the strikers to thoroughly
intimidate the men and the company.
Telegraph wires in every direction
were cut, and the widest rumors were
set atioat, such as that 1000 men were
marching on Columbus, and that there
was a concerted plot to burn all the
property that could be destroyed in the
valley.
Governor Hoadly, ut his residence in
Cincinnati, on Sunday morRing, was
beset by kilograms from sheriffs in the
valley that riot, bloodshed, aud MUIR
der were spreading in ali directions.
and that they were powerless to- pre-
serve the peace. The Governors con-
duct in this trying situation, rendered
more trying by the fact that an excited
political canvass WAS pending, was add
nil fable. He ordered several compa-
MES of trusted militia to be in readi-
ness to march, and proceeded in per-
son, with his Adjutant-General, to the
scene of the disorder. He not only
called upon the sheritfs and the officers
of the mining company, but assembled
the leaders of the strikers at various
points, and made Il thorough examina-
ton of the situation. Then he dispos-
ed a moderate number of troops at the
points most menaced, and frankly an
nounced that he should exhaust all the
power reposed in him to preserve life
and property. His plans, followed up
in this spirit, were successful, and no
further serious trouble occurred. The
strike has failed. All the men needed
are now at work at fifty cents a ton,
and these are nOn-uniOn men. The
Miners Union is broken. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss in wages aleno has
been more than Il million of dollars.

be settled by each of these Estates sep
arately in the light of simple equity
and morals, and which the genius of
American government does not admit
of being forced upon them from be-
yond their borders. Thus the whole
question, become secondary in party
contest, has yet reached a period of
supreme Importance.
Before slavery ever became q grave
question in the nations politics when
it seemed each states private affair,
developing unmolested-it had two
different fates in two different parts of
the country. In one, treated as ques-
ton of public equity. it withered away.
In the other, overlooked in that aspect,
| it petrified and became the corner stone
of the whole social structure and
when men sought its overthrow as a
national evil, it first brought war upon
the land, and then grated into the cit
izenship of ono of the most intelligent
nations in the world six millions of
people from one of the most debased
races on the globe.
"And now this painful and weari-
some question, sown in the African
ve-trade, reaped in our civil war,
and garnered in the national adoption
of millions of an inferior race, is draw
ing near second seed time For this
is what the impatient proposal to make
it a dead and buried issue really means.
Ii means to recommit it to the silence
and concealment of the covered fur
row. Beyond that incubative retire
ment no suppressed moral question
can be pushed but all such questions,
ignored in the domain of private NOR
ais, spring up and expand once more
into questions of public equity ne
elected as matters of public equity,
they blossom into questions of national
interest and, despised in that guise,
presently yield the red fruits of revo-
luton.
"This question must never again
pear UuaU trulC. mere must arise, nay,
there has arisen, in the South itself,
il desire to see established the equities
of the ISSUE to make it no longer a
question of endurance between one
group of states and another, but be-
tween the moral debris of an exploded
evil, and the duty, necessity and value
of planting society firmly upon univer
sal justice and equity. This, and this
only, can give the matter final burial.
True, it is still question between
states; but only secondarily, as some
thing formerly participated in, or as it
concerns every householder to know
that what is being built against his
house is built by level and plummet.
1t is the interest of the southern states
first, and consequently of the whole
land, to discover clearly these equities
and the errors that are being commit
ted against them"

With such vivid lightning as pre-

was no prospect of escaping the Wig

good reason to hope that he would be
unable to point his guns accurately.
Again the smoke stacks took fire, and

The Great Question for the South

We quote the following from the
opening paragraph of IL paper, by Mr..
George w. Cable, in the January Cen
tnry, entitled "The Freedman's Case
in Equity" in which the relations of
the races in the Southern states are
treated with much frankness and sug
gestiveness
"Ths late southern slave has within
two decades risen from slavery to free
dom, from freedom to citizenship,
passed on into political ascendency,
and fallen again from that eninence.
The amended constitution holds him
up in his new political rights AS we'll
AS mere constitution can. On the
other hand, certain eractInents of con-
gress, trying to reach further, have
lately been made void by the highest
court of the nation. And another thing
has happened. The popular mind in
the old free states, weary of strife at
