Frederick Billings VIII.

1t was to be expected that in some
respects Mr. Billings will would be of
public interest and in SO far as it is
so we shall crafty our readers with
a brief statement of it's provisions.
Liberal requests are made to his
brothers and sisters, but with these
the public has nothing to do. A few
only OF the requests outside of his
family, made on the score of friend
ship may be mentioned, because they
reveal in a striking manner the low
ing spirit and thoughtfulness of the
man.
To his lifelong friend. the lifelong friend
of the family" Oliver p. Chandler, he gives
$1,000 for every year of his life.
To his 'long-tim agent and devoted
friend George W. Grannis of San Francisco,
$4,000.
To his faithful secretary" Samuel E. Kill
ner, $4,000.
To his dearly beloved pastor Rev Hen
ry Van Dyke, of New York, $500.
To Matthew H. Buckham, President of
the University of Vermont, $4,000 as a
slight token of my love and esteem for him -
To his friend, Edward BarstOw of Oakland.
Cal, $1,000, Which | request him to spend
! in procuring some souvenir of the firm friend
| ship which he has shown me through so many
| years"
Then those who have been in his family as
| teachers of his children. his farmer and
gardner. and old servants, and Others who
| have rendered him or his family services are
| remembered, some very handsomely, and all
with happy words of kind appreciation. He
did not forget ShO NemotO, the japanese,

There are probably few states in
the Union outside of Vermont where
proposition to reduce the number
of judges on the bench of the highest
court would be seriously entertained.
The tendency elsewhere is to increase
rather than to diminish the number
of judges. The inference is that liti-
cation must be on the decline up in
the Green Mountain state. If this is
the case, the Vermonters are to be
congratulated Boston Herald.

4 wreck as Needles.

4 wreck and explosion occurred on the Atlantic and Pacific road, near Ho- mer, Saturday morning. A double header freight train was coming into Needles when the train parted and ai- terwards colided, causing an explosion of some powder in one of the cars. Eleven ears were dersiled and some of them blown to pieces. Freight and merchandise were scattered around for several hundred yards, and the ground for some distance was excavsted by the explosion. Mike ramer, Los Ange- les boiler makre, sustained a fracture of the thigh and internal injuries, which may prove fatal An Indian track man was fatally injured Fireman Tison was seriously injured about the body and knee, and several Indian railroad hands were more or less hurt Just after the explosion occurred the head engine became disconnected and, hay ing no one in the cab, tore down ths track at frightfnl rate of speed just behind the eastbound mail expres. train, and had not the night yard mar changed his switch in time would have dashed into the rear end of the Pull man and doubtless caused fearful loss of life. As 1t was, she eollided in the Needles yard with another engine, com ptetely wrecking thu two.
