ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATCH.l
CINCINNATI, April 22.-Mary Holroyd, the
wife of Edward Holroyd, known over Southern
OHIO as the ''rich hermit" left her will
to be recorded to-day. To the various
institutions of this city she bequeaths $40, 900
and to a university at Urbana $1,000. Besides
these gifts she sets apart $4,000 for the found
ing of flower market In this city.
Mrs. Holroyd was formerly the wife of Jabez
Elliott Their life was an ideal one. But
Elliott died, and IS years ago she married
Holroyd who within a year showed signs
Of insanity, and Mrs. Holroyd was given the
powers of femme sole. Thus she managed
her separate estate for years. Holroyd moved
into property he owned not a mile from his
wife's home, and thus for a third of a century
they lived, not once communicating one with
the other. Some years ago Holroyd died alone
after intense suffering.
Mrs. Holroyd, as she appeared in court to-
day, seemed to belong to other days. She is
stout of figure and has a wealth of snow-white
hair which she wears puffed over her ears. Her
property amounts to over $780, 600 nearly half
OF which is given to public institutions.

1T is said by the Philadelphia Press that
"Senator Wallace's friends are confident that
he can be nominated without the support Of a
single delegate from Philadelphia" The same
assertion is made by the hackers of Delamater.
This leaves Philadelphia in position where
she can flock by herself and nominate Gov
ernor of her own. If she nominates the right
sort of man the states of the party managers
may be pretty badly smashed by it.

pennsylvania Much has been said of late on
the subject Of improving our rural highways;
but little or nothing has been done in the way

opinion Of the farmers who dwell along these
roads and use them as a means of getting to
market. This work will be done thoroughly by
the representatives of THE DISPATCH, who,
In wagon built especially for the work and
provided with Photographic material, will ira
verse Western Pennsylvania from North to
South and from East to West until full pict-
ure OF our country roads and the opinion of the
farmers concerning their improvement Is laid
before the public. The expedition will be an

which it will gather cannot fail to have import

Photographic views of the country, to be elab-

If the expedition could be induced to switch of

enough mud to make them pine for chance to
travel back to Pittsburg via Pennsylvania Rail-
