NEW YORK. July IA sudden change
came over the spirit Of the stock Exchange
to-day. The pronounced weakness OF yes
terday's market seemed entirely forgotten
this morning, ana from the opening to the
close prices were strong, and nearly every
stock on the list scored an advance. The
passage of the conference silver bill is re-
garded now as practically an accomplished
fact. 1t will, in all probability, be promptly
sent Ia the President, and nobody seems 10
think he will waste any time in signing it,.
4 suspension Of specie payment by the Ar
gentine Republic ought to lessen the press
ing demand on London from that quarter
for gold, and I'm such event, any cOnsidera-
bic future exports from here would be i'm
probable. Money has ruled easy all day here,
and at the close OF the stock market 1t WAS
offered down rs low as per cent. To sum
up the general conditions as they appear
today, we can only say there is a better
feeling all around, and prospects for higher
prices in the immediate future are decidedly
better tonight than they were yesterday.

GENERAL FAULKNERs WILL.
His Widow Objects to His Property Going to
Mrs. Francis Brown.

BUFFALO, May 19.-The contest of the
will of the late banker and politician, Gen.
Lester B. Faulkner, develops some unusual
and sensational features. General Faulk-s
ner was convicted of being accessory to the
defalcation of his brother James, in Danes
ville's bank, but died before sentence was
pronounced.
For many years General Faulkner. who
was chairman of the Democratic state CON-
mittee, lived with Mrs. Francis Brown, by
whom he had two sons. who are now near
ly grown np. Mrs Faulkner now claims
that she knew nothing of the relation be-
tween her husband and Mrs. Brown, and
that she was ignorant of the existance OF
the two sons. On the other hand. 1t is said
that Mrs. Faulkner not only knew of the
relation, but that she was friend of Mrs.
husband and Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Faulkner now contests the will by
which the General left his fortune to Mrs.
Brown, averring that he was forced by
Mrs. Brown. Friends of Mrs. Brown are
very much disturbed by the last state
ments. and documents in their possession
indicate the very reverse of the state OF
affairs alleged. Mrs. Brown has made pub
lie long letter from General Faulkner to
w
are extracts from it:
II am anxious that, under no circum-
stances of possible adverse fortune or bust
ness mismanagement In case of my death,
should she, who Is moro to me than any
mans lawful wife could be to him, and
they whom her brave, devoted love have
given me. be dependent upon either the
sympathy or charity of any one. and espe-
cially of any whose love is Of that sort
which could net survive what seems to
them the great error of her life.
while have my head and hands free,
hope to guard Fanny 60 far as human en-
deavor may from every misfortune that
can really touch the happiness of her life.
At any rate this is my absorbing purpose
and one which have harbored long enough
to critically examine. / have takenit upon
myself to secure those / love and myself
against letting the worlds ideas make us
walk In the paths they cut out. however
footsore we might be. I have been trying
for years to tell Fanny how much love
her. and have not succeeded yet. l trust
that my life or my death will prove to you
that your fears in regard to her are quite
unfoundad."
1t is reported that General Faulkner and
his wife made mutual wills, leaving the
property of the one that died first to the
survivor. General Faulkner later. as the
story goes, revoked his will and made this
will in favor of Mrs. Brown. The conse-
quence would be that if Mrs. Faulkner
died first her property would go. through
her husband, to the Browns. This. it is
said by some. is the provocation for the
present proceedings 20 break this will in
favor of Mrs Brown.

mittee resumed its investigation to-day.

Grant. 1t soon became apparent that
another effort would be made to
clear the Mayor of the charges
made by McCann. l.. Holmes, Grants
private secretary. who is said to have tried
to get Mrs. Croker out of the country
swore he rendered his services to her upon
taking letter from her husband, saying
he was very i'll. and asking Holmes
to see Mrs. Croker. John Clafiin spoke
for the good character of Thomas
Adams who. McCann said. was discharged
by Clafin for dishonesty. Adams himself
swore Croker had met him once. but never
said anything of SlS0.0OO, nor had Adams
seen it. He fatty contradicted McCann.
A reputable lawyer swore he would not be-
lieye McCann under oath. Other witnesses
bluntly opposed McCann's statements and
confirmed the Mayors.

How the Famous Evanston Life-Saving Sta
ton Came TO Be Established.


ton Came TO Be Established.
Chicago Post.
The life-saving station at Evanston had
it's origin in an accidental circumstance.
An old resident of that pretty suburb tells
the story, which proves anew the old adage
that tall oaks from little acorns grow. 1t
is the custom of the students to walk across
the campus of the college from the dorni-
tory to the recitation- rooms. One morn
ing. years ago, two students. one named
Hartsell and the other Scoville, were en-
joying this walk. AS they looked over the
expanse of water Scoville thought he saw
panIon's attention to it. HartseIl could
not see the object. Together they ascended
into the observatory, procured q telescope.
and after look they came to the conclu-
sion that it was log. Another and
the object was there were living human
beings on ii. Both surmised that what
appeared to be log was the remnants of
tue wreck of vessel. Hartsell was an ex-
cellent swimmer, and he undertook the
task of saving the men. His companion
tried to dissuade him from the trial, but
Hartseil would not listen to him. He had
learned TO swim In heavy sea, and at this
time the waves were running very high.
So. seeing that Hartsell was determined to
go out after the men, Scoville made the
necessary arrangements and ordered close
carriage to be ready to drive Hartsell to his
room Immediately upon his return to shore,
so that he might. as far as possible, be re-
moved from any serious consequences.
A rope was fastened to Hartselps body,
and in he went. He said afterward that
when he had reached the wreck within six
feet he had lost all feeling. But he strug-
gled bravely, and succeeded. The men
awaiting his coming pulled him up,
the rope was securely fastened. and all came
ashore by the aid of the rope. There were
seven persons on the wreck, and all were
saved By the bravery Of this one student
