The Dumb Brutes Triumph.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct 3l-One OF
the most interesting will cases ever tried
in New England closed here in the Supe-
rior Court yesterday morning, Judge
Bearesley on the bench. The case has
been before the court in this city for over
month. 1t came up here as an appeal
from probate in the matter of Caroline
J. Welton, of Waterbury, the wealthy and
eccentric young lady who climbed up
Longs Peak in Colorado two years ago
this month and was caught in squall
and frozen to death. During the latter
years of her life Miss Welton was an in
innate friend of Henry Bergh. She was
an ardent admirer of Bergh and looked
upon him as one of the greatest reformers
of the age. When she made her
will in 1873 she bequeathed the bulk
of her handsome fortune, amount
ing to nearly 100000, to
Mr.. Bergh for the use of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Miss Welton only remembered her friends
to very small extent. The will was so
manifestly out of proportion that some
of the relatives determined to break it If
possible The will and the codicil there
to were admitted to probable in Judge
Gillette's court in Waterbury, and the
case came up before Judge Beadesly and
jury in the shape of an appeal from pro-
bate. The appeal was brought in the
name of George r. Welton of Waterbury,
son of George r. Welton, who was the
original applicant, but has since died,
and Mrs. Horace Johnson, a cousin Of the
deceased. The jury yesterday brought
70 verdict in favor of Mr.. Bergh.
