Nothing is more conducive to

SuDrenne Court.
BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE JUDD.

TUESDAY, September goth.
! In the matter of proof of the will OF
Jean Marie Daigle, late of Honolulu, de-
ceased. Mons Henri Feer, Consul and
Commissioner for France, appeared as
petitioner for probate of the will, William
A Whiting acting as his attorney. Mrs.
Jacinta M. Daigle, the widow, was pres
ent i'll Court, represented by Kinney &
Peterson, as contestant of the will.
Proof of death of the deceased was had
and the testimony of J. E. Wiseman and
J. III. Reist, as attesting witnesses, taken
before His Honor the Chief Justice.
During the progress of the proceedings
Mons Feer, French Commissioner, re-
nounced his appointment as executor OF
the will and nominated Hon. w. G..
Parke to be administrator with the will
annexed. AS grounds for cOntesting,
Mr.. Kinney offered as follows 1st-That
the person Panaewa CORNER wife) had
subsequent to the will been divorced
from the testator, and the intent to de-
wise one-third of all the property to the
widow during her natural life should not
affect the standing of the present widow.
2d-That contestant could offer testimony
tending to show that after said divorce
with Panaewa the testator during his last
illness requested the custodian of the will
to destroy it as being OF no further use,
but that the custodian declined to carry
out said request.
Mons. Feer asked to be understood that
he had no personal feeling in the matter
one way or the other, and suggested that
the laws of France would not permit of
his being sworn as witness. The Court
reserved for consideration the point as to
whether it is competent for third party,
under the circumstances of the case, to
testify what had been the instructions
given by testatOr regarding the revOca-
ton of the will. Hon. w. c.. Parke was
appointed temporary administrator of the
estate under 1000 bonds.
In the matter of the will of the late
Thomas Cummins, of Waimanalo,
Oahu, deceased. The argument of eoun-
sci was heard on motion filed to revoke
will on the ground that the orders of
Court regarding citations to the heirs had
not been complied with. G. w. Ashford
appeared for Thomas Cummins, Cecil
Brown for A. J. Cartwright, the executor.
The Chief Justice overruled the motion
and suggested that no irregularity in the
former proceedings had been made and

during the short wet spells, but this
wpuld not happen if the roads were
properly constructed and cared for as
they should be.
This question is closely allied to the
sanitation of the city Were the thor
oughfares properly built and their
surface drainage perfect very long
step would be taken in that direction.

SMALL FARM SETTLEMENTS.

The policy of cutting up large hold
ings into small farms with the view
of promoting Immigration and set
Element, which the ADVERTISER and
it's contemporaries have advocated OF
late, has commended itself in many
quarters. Just now there is a scarcity
of available land, although the pro-
ject of opening Honouliuli and Kah-
uka ranches to colonization purposes,
with which Mr.. B. F. Dillingham; is
identified, gives promise of radical
change in the land system OF this
island before long.
And now we find Mr.. w. H. COrnwell
of East Maui announcing his inten-
ton of dividing about ], 400 acres of
the Pulehunui tract into farms of
from eighty to one hundred acres and
upwards. Mr.. w. d. Monsarrat, the
surveyor, is now preparing map Of
the land showing the subdivisions.
This map will be ready for inspection
in about ten days at Mr.. J. E. Wise
mans. The land in question is the
property of Mr.. Henry Cornwell. It
lies at the foot of Haleakala, Maui,
and runs from the Waikiki bound
airy to the sea at Maalaea Bay, and
adjoins the cane fields of the Hawaiian
Commercial Company. 1t is there
fore one of the best locations on the
island of Maui for an agricultural set
Element. The soil being rich and of
fine quality success is certain to men
who will work. Several applications
have already been made to Mr.. Corn
well for farm lots on his property, and
he has determined to make trial
with a desirable part of the bottom
land to satisfy this demand. If the
Portuguese and others who say they
want land for settlement are in earn
est, they will avail themselves of this
| opportunity.

Limitation of yellow Fever.

The limitation of yellow fever to re,
gtricted areas is one of the characteristics
of this disease, even when epidemic, and
it takes some curious phases. The specific
gravity of the poison is great and it
clings to surfaces. Frequently its rate
of progress may be mathematically de-
fined, says DR.. F. w. Reilly, SO many
feet per day independent Of any recog-
nized influence, except perpendicular
obstacle. In Mobile board fence
stopped it's progress, and a bluff bank
held it at bay for weeks in Memphis.
Hence the value of removal and the san
itary line when this disease appears.

A RICHMOND LADS BAD BREAK.
Welded to Member Of the Demi-Monde and
Disinherited by His Enraged Father.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
Troy, N. Y, Jan. Tn September last,
Frank b. Robinson entered the lowest class in
the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute. He is the
son of a wealthy manufacturer at Richmond,
Ind. and is slender about FIVE feet six inches in
height, clean shaven, nineteen years of age, and
looks young for his years. He has prominent
nose, bright intelligent face, a pleasing man
ner, and was always clad in clothes of the latest
cut. Soon after beginning his studies at the in
stitute he became acquainted with congeniel
young man and soon they were among
the roysterers Early in October Frank and
his chum paid visit to one of the resorts
Sixth street. the most elegant one in the city.
There they met two very handsome young
women, known as frankie and Rubie Fay. With
frankie young Robinson became infatuated.
frankie Fay is medium sized young woman of
very dark complexion, with coal black hair and
bright black eyes, red cheeks, small hands and
feet and very well formed and plump She
dressed well and always wore a profusion of jew
elry. Ruby is almost fac simle of her sis
ter. The girls belong in Syracuse; they
left home about two years ago,
and have lived in New York, Rochester and
Binghamton, coming to Troy from the latter
place. about year ago, and taking up their res
idence at 70 Sixth street.
In the fullness of time young Robinson came
to be almost nightly visitor al Sixth street,
always asking for frankie. For several weeks
previous to December, Robinson spent nearly
every day and each night in the house with the
young beauty. About the middle of November,
Frankie told her sister that she and Robinson
were to be married. On the afternoon of De-
cember the young man and woman
left the house together, and on their
return showed the certificate that Frank B.
Robinson and Nette Jacobs, which frankie Fay
gave as her right name, had been made man and
wife by the Rev. DR.. Baldwin. From that after
noon until their departure they lived together
in the house, Robinson seldom being absent
from his wife's side more than an hour at a
time He lavished silks and jewels upon his
wife, and both were apparently very happy
When they left Troy, last Sunday evening"
Robinson said he intended taking his wife 20
his home in Richmond Ind. The young mans
father was communicated with as soon as the
marriage was found out by the landlady of his
boarding g-house. The father was as much en-
last week that his son would be disinherited.
This was not done until after an effort had been
made by the father to buy off the wife, and get
her to consent to quiet divorce This she re-
fused with the reply that she would stand by
the man whom she loved and who loved her, and
would not be bought. Robinson was promi-
nent member of the Chi Phi college society,
from which he has been expelled.

RAILWAY MORTALITY.
Nearly Per Cent, of the Mileage and Capt.
tai Stock Swallowed by Foreclosure.

CHICAGO, Jan. The Railway Age to-mor
row. will say that the record of railway foreclos-
ure sales in the United States during 1884s shows
that the harvest of bankruptcy sown during the
disastrous times commenc ing ten years ago has
now been nearly gathered. The number of
roads thus sold in 1884 as well as their mileage
and amount of capital represented, were all
much less than in any previous year since 1876.
Such sales last year were nearly all of little i'm
portance, there being only one of the roads
involved, having mileage of seventy-one
miles. The total number of railways sold under
foreclosure in 1854 was eighteen; the total stock
and debt amounted to $23, 504. 900, not including
accrued interest or floating Indebtedness The
average yearly mileage subjected to foreclosure
sales from 1876 to 1884, Inclusive, 2, S93, and
the corresponding yearly average total of stock
and debt was 1906 GO, Co.., The encourage
ment. however, derived from the decrease
in foreclosures is Offset by the past years rec
ord of receiverships. The latter gives evidence
CROP which will ere long begin to be harvested
III the form of foreclosure sales. During the
past twelve months thirty-seven railways, hav-
ing mileage of 1000 miles, with bonded
debt of $407, 600, 600, not including other
debts and part due interest, and
an apparent capital stock investment
of over 1907 600, 900, have failed and have been
taken possession of by the courts for the benefit
OF creditors. These figures represent nearly
per cent of the entire present railway mileage
of the United States, nearly II per cent OF the
total bonded debt. and nearly 8 per cent of the
whole capital stock.
