Sensational Proceedings in the Detroit
Probate Court.

DETROIT, Mich, July Thomas Reath
for many years a resident OF Detroit, died
last Friday evening. He leaves an estate
valued at $780, 900. There was no will
and as his wife died several years ago, the
property goes to Mr. Reath's seven chill
dren, all grown. Before the body of their
father was fairly cold a row occurred
among them oyer the division and man
agement of the estate. The matter was
kept comparatively quiet until after
the funeral of the old gentle
man yesterday afternoon, but the
facts came out in hearing in the probate
court today. 1t appears that very soon
of their weeping and began wrangling.
Mrs. Agnes Moran and Mrs. Julia Bolton,
daughters of the deceased, and quite prom
inent in society circles, were given to un-
derstand that the others proposed to man
age the estate for a year, come what may.
Early Saturday morning, to checkmate
this, Mrs. Moran went to a lawyer and had
petition prepared for the appointment Of
Mrs: Julia Rolton, her sister, as special ad-
ministratrix. The petition was filed
in the probate court about
half past four o'clock Saturday
afternoon, with a request to the clerk that
it be kept until after the funeral. The
other children got wind OF this, but kept
mum and furnished Mrs. Moran and Mrs.
Boulton a sensation as they filed into the
court room today.
When the petition was up for hearing
Mrs. Agnes Moran testified that she
wished her sister Julia appointed or some
stranger, as the eldest brother, John, was
demented and incompetent, and the others.
she asserted, wanted to cheat herself and
sister out oftheir portion" Mrs. Julia Boil
ton said she was willing to have John were
he sound mentally, but she did not think
him competent. She would not have any
of the others, because they had never acted
right towards herself and Agnes, and had
said on Saturday that they would run the
estate for year anyway, and at the end of
that time she and Agnes could see what
they would get' They also told her that
Johnnie wasn't right in the head, and
they were going to send him to an insane
asylum"
Mrs. Jennie Bolton another sister, denied
she got down on her knees Saturday morn
ing, in the presence of Mr.. Walsh, and ours
ed her sister, which is charged. Mrs. Emma
Moran, Miss Fannie Reath and Thomas
Reath and all said their brother John was
the best and most competent one to man
age the estate, and requested his appoint
ment.
John Reath said he was 81 years old and
had managed his fathers estate for twelve
or fourteen years, and he was sick with
malaria few weeks ago. which was the
cause of him being out of his head.
Here halt was called for recess, during
which the parties agreed on the appoint
ment of Mayor John Pridgeon as special
administration. The affair has caused
sensation.

London Lodging House Character.

In the same lodging house that Taffy

character, known to his intimates as
"Patter Bill" he was Cheap Jack and
talking coster, but was too improvident
ever to make position. He was in a
chronic state of impecuniosity. Had he
been careful and sober he might have
made comfortable living, for he had a
tremendous fund Of genuine humor. and,
while selling. kept his audience in roars of
laughter. Perhaps he was just a little bit
too funny, for the crowd laughed so much
that they forgot to buy. One day, after
a week Of absolute bankruptcy, Patter
Bill was at his wits end for the money to
pay for his nights lodging. He was in
debt to a pal, and this added to bis

SENSATIONAL ELOPEMENT.
A Chicago Business Man Runs Off with
An Actress.

CHICAGO, July Am elopement to
which the theatrical profession furnished
one of the parties and we'll known bust
ness house another, was placed to the
credit of Chicago tonight. The party Of
the first part is none other than May
Yohe, footlight favorite, who has been
assuming the part of the prince in ''The
Crystal Slipper" which has been running
at the Chicago opera house for the past
five weeks. She has also played a leading
part in the Arabian Nights through
out the country, and is noted for
remarkably fine contralto voice and a fair
face, both of which made her quite a IA
vorite with the susceptible young men of
Chicago 1t seems now, if the story which
the Inter Ocean will print tomorrow is
true, that the young men were not the
only ones who were caught by her mani
fold charms. According to the story re
ferred to, Miss Yohe, accompanied by Ed
ward B. Shaw, visited the races Monday.
Mr. Shaw is the cashier of the st. Dake
bakery and is also the son of one of the
proprietors. He is 30 years of age, GOOD
looking and married to the daughter of
leading insurance man OF this city.
1t is said that Mr.. Shaw, on the day
mentioned, had business engagement in
Cleveland, and, after the races, he con-
cluded TO take Lake Shore train for that
point.
Miss Yohe accompanied him to the train,
and here her friend takes I'D the thread of
the story and say that while she was bid
ding him farewell the horrid train moved
off. At any rate the next work which was
heard from the fair contralto was from
Cleveland From this on it IS not an easy
matter 50 trace the couple Miss Yohe's
mother assured Manager Henderson, of
the theater that heridaughter would posi-
lively appear at the matinee tomorrow.
When questioned little more closely as
TO the exact residence of Miss Yohe at
present, she said that she was living with
friends at No. $50 Dawson street. hives
legations made by reporters of the Inter
Ocean soon demonstrated that no such

At the joining Of the trio of paths de-
scribed as leading to Bethany, the garden
OF Gethsemane is located Ii is surrounded
by stone wall which is divided by shrines
facing inside the garden, all looking
strangely new in comparison with the
gnarled old trees that they surround.
After knocking at the low gate, the visitor
is questioned by an old monk and then
admitted. The garden is carefully kept
by the venerable custodian. The white
washed fence of paling and the trim flower
garden afford another strange contrast
with the gnarled and ancient olive trees
IN one corner of the garden is well of
delicious water. A bucket with rope
running over a pulley used. Near this
well are the humble quarters Of the monk

gate incloses Canova's bass relief of THE
