The Rise In the Price OF Cigars.
Tobacco.

In one respect only is there any unani-
NIFTY Of opinion. and that is that the three
for-a-quarter clear Havana will be retaiied
for 10 cents straight; and the greater por-
ton OF the imported cigars now sold for
10 cents or under must go. The average
raise en- the former will be about So per
LOO, and on imported cigars from $40 to
$50, according to the weight. No material
reduction OF size can be made that will
Offset this advance and thereby eoualize
prices, for in many instances the cigars are
now made too loose and "spongy."

NEW YoHK, Sept. M.-ISpeciaL General
BENJAMIN y. Butler and Lawyer William
Holt Secor claim that the will Of the late

say they have evidence IN their possession
that will legally nullify the will. When

General Butler also stated that he would
prove that Judge Hilton and Mr.. and Mrs.
Stewart had visited some Of these relstives
in Ireland.
Lawyer Secor said that on the night
Stewart died Judge Hilton drew up petit
ton to have his will proved and probated.
Both Judge Hilton and Mrs. Stewart. he
said, swore TO an affidavit stating
that Stewart had not . blood rela-
ton then living on earth. The
will WAS then immediately probated.
This afBdavit, Mr.. Secor said. was false,
and the result would be that when they
succeeded in proving that Stewart had
blood relations living the will would have
to be reproved. Then, he declared, they
would have to prove that Judge Hilton and
Mrs. Stewart knew they committed perjury
when they swore 10 the affidavit. Tho
