THE POWELL WILL CONTEST.
Testimony Regarding Mrs. Stewards
Influence Over tho DeceRsed.

Testimony Regarding Mrs. Stewards
Influence over the Deceased.
The contest over the validity of the will
of the late Admiral Powell was resumed in
the Circuit Court to-day. The evidence
adduced was of an unpleasant nature.
Miss Alice Condor, the professional nurse
testified that Mrs. Stewart, the former
nurse, had full control of the Admiral. She
miss Condon) was locked out of the Ad.
mIsl's room about three weeks in two
months. She communicated that fact to
the Admiral. Mrs. Stewart was in the
room with the Admiral during most of the
day and night. Her actions toward him
were very afiectionate and immodest
There was no change in her influence
over him until he died. 1t remained the
same all the time. Witness overheard her
give false information to the Admiral and
influencing him to discharge DIR. Johnston
aud witness. Witness wanted TO give the
patient the cough mixture ordered by the
doctor, on one occasion, and Mrs. Stewart
gave him GIN instead.
A lot of additional evidence was heard,
which was simply accumulative Of what
had already been heard.

If the rainwater in the cistern is
foul through the decay of the vegeta le
matter in it, one unc of permanganate
of potasss to each fifty gallons of water
will sweeten it. Put in the potassa and
stir up well. The water will turn pur-
pie: and if it does not get clear in a
few moments a little more of the per-
manganate of potassa shou d be added.
The refuse will settle in a sediment at
the bottom OF the cistern. Troy Times.
