BROTHER AGAINST SISTER.


A Disgusting Family Row Aired in the
Probate Court.
Judge Coffey was busy most of the time
yesterday hearing the developments of a
family feud over the estate of John Mean
drews MeAndrews, who had been an ex-
pressman and lived at Midway street,
died in 1882. leaving an estate Of about
5000, bequeathed by will to his widow and
two children, Annie and Philip. A year or
so after her husbands death Mrs. Mean
drews was committed to the insane asylum,
and the will was not probated until short
time ago, when Philip petitioned for letters
testementary.
Tie daughter, Annie, objected TO having
the estate controlled by her brother, and in
her protest declared that he was drunk
ard and unfit To act in any such CAPACITY.
She also accused him Of being the cause OF
her mothers insanity, by striking her on
the head with an ak.
Philip retorted by accusing his sister Of
being woman OF bad repute, also addicted
to the use of strong drink, and when it
came to taking testimony Il host Of wit
DesSeS were summoned IN his behalf to
prove the unfitness of Annie to administer
upon anything of greater Importance than a
glass OF beer.
The attempt to prove that the young girl
had been leading bad life and would have
become a mother soon but for her criminal
conduct was made several times, but Judge
Coffey told the counsel repeatedly that he
did not care to hear that phase of the case.
II was enough to try it on its merits with
out dragging in whole mass of scandal.
BY the persistence of the counsel, how
ever, several witnesses were made to testify
about Armies reputation and condition.
At the close the Judge decided that nothing
had been proved, and that she was entitled
to the letters testamentary applied for.
Philip, it was shown, had forfeited his right
to administer, by having waited more than
five years after becoming Of age before
making an application.
In summing up the case Judge COffey
took occasion to give Mr.. Rogers, the execu-
tor named in the will to act with Mrs. Nc
Andrews, a sound reprimand for not having
pursued the legal course. Upon filing the
VIII and petition years ago nothing furtEer
had been done, and Mr.. Rogers went on
administering without the sanction of the
court or any further hearing of the case.

So far these rules have been strictly adj
hered to. The setting up drill is some
thing of a novelty in camp, being usually
reserved for the company armOries where
brought into use at all. General Cutting from
knowledge obtained in the two commands
he was formerly connected with, is aware
that this drill is generally overlooked. and
hence his peremptory orders that it shall
occupy the time heretofore devoted to the
company drill. Another feature which is
being looked after is the skirmish drill,
which, in the city armories, is seldom prac-
ticed for want of sufficient space. The
General instructs his battalion commanders,
in the orders quoted from, to devote at least
half an hour to this each day: but they,
realizing the benefit of it, have given up the
entire hour and a half to instruction in
this important branehof the tactics.

it has had advantages in its yearly camps
that the Others have not had, and conse-
quently is better prepared to sustain the
credit of the National Guard of California.
The Third and Fifth Infantry, the Second
Artillery and Hussars all aim at attaining
the high standard for which the First is
noted, and as early as to-day improvement
was noticed all around. To-night's brigade
dress parade is an instance Of this. The
regiments came on to the line with far bet
ter regard to distances and time than they
did last night, and in the manual of arms
were as perfect as could we'll be expected.

drilling is not as trying as it was feared,
from the first days experience, it would be.
OF the 400 men who went into camp none
have been reported sick, up to date, and
only very few have reported at the Sur
geons' quarters for treatment of wounds,
from which the majority OF the cavalry are
suffering. a little arnca and leave of alb
sence from mounted drill is the usual pre-
scription in these cases. 1t may be added
that this complaint is not unknown to GER
tain members of the Brigade Staff, but as
the names of these sufferers are not re-
corded at the ambulance information regard
ing their present state of health is unobtain-
able. Rumor also has it that the disease
prevailed for many years among the staff
of the First Infantry, and that of late these
officers prefer to do their fighting on terra
firma. Whether or not such is the truth
could not be ascertained up to the time of
sending this dispatch, but it is a fact that
the staff have eschewed all horseback exer-
else since coming to Camp Waterman.
On Monday morning the routine of camp
life was changed by General Orders 10,

CAMP WATERMAN Santa CRUZ. Aug. 10.
1S9O.-Since the beginning of the brigade en-
campment last Saturday. the hustle of mill
tary life in Santa Cruz has been more pro-
nounced than at any time this summer,
though large numbers of the soldier boys
have been pitching their tents here since
the season opened. The primary cause of
this lies in the greater numerical strength
of the brigade over that of single battal-
ion, and the further fact that all arms
of the service are represented in it. From
morn to midnight the streets are prom
enaded in all directions by guardsmen, in

ranks of that once-favored organization.
Aside from the band, the First Regiment
is ahead in everything. Promptness, neat
ness and courtesy are the conspicuous be-
longings of the enlisted men, and to those
attributes can be added the soldierly quail
ties of its officers. Harmony reigns every
where-lts discipline is as nearly perfect as
can be attained in the militia service, and
there is feeling of regimental pride that
makes it first in all its undertakings. But
