NEw YORK, Surrogate Tuthill has is
sued citation for the probate of the will
OF NJ. w. Merriam, the eccentric Suffolk
County school master, who willed his
property in bulk, to the United States
government. The executor, c. B. Acke
in searching for the assets, found SSi, 600
in Marriam's room in Nocthport. 1t WAS
tucked away in old Letters, books, and in
corners of old trunks and valises. l. is
thought that when his money is all got to-
gether il will amount to more than S10G,-
600. He has sister who is said 10 be
worth 100000. One reason ne gave for
willing his money to tine government was
that 1t was rich and could afford to ight his
sister il she attempted to contest the will.
His sister, it is said, will not contest tho
will, as there are some unpleasant family
affairs which would necessarily come to
light in the controversy. MIR. Mari IN
was a Jealous Blaine man. He refused to
vote the republican ticket last fall be-
cause his favorite Was not the bead of the
ticket. When the success of the repnbli-
can ticket became known he at once
named Blaine rs his choice tor Secretary
OF State. He said if Blaine was not APP
pointed he would change his will and cut
off the government. He fell dead in his
school room at Springs last Wednesday.
He was sixty five years old.
