Principal Provisions of the Will OF tho
Late PhiHeas T. Barnum-An Estate
Valued at Upward of So, ,0OO,O 900 to be
Divided Among His Heirs and Friends.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April 12.-The
will of the late P. Il. Barnum was read
at Maranna Immediately after the fun
eral yesterday. The wealth of the
great Snowman is estimated at over
$5. 900, 900. The will is voluminous
document and the reading occupied two
and half hours. The first will was
written in 1882 since which time eight
codicils have been added to it. BY
the first will he left his wife,
Nancy, an annuity of $1,000 with the
life use of his personal property and
free rent, for one year, of the home
they occupied at the time of his death.
BY codicil dated July 6, 1890, he be-
queathed to his wife 500, 900 abso-
lutely. and $40, 600 annuity.
To the First UniversaliSt church of
this city he leaves $1,000; also $500 to
the church annually after his deccase
for period of five years.
BY a codicil dated May "a, 1889, he
bequeathes to Caroline c. Thompson,
of New York, daughter of Julian II.
Clark, and Helen Barnum Rinnell, his
daughter, 100000. To Clinton III.
Seely, his grandson, $4,000. In the
same codicil he states that he has no
male heir named Barnum, and pro-
vides that if Clinton II. Seely
will change his name to Clinton
Barnum Seely he will give him $25, 900
absolutely. Another codicil made later
provides that the contract between
Barnum and Bailey, concerning the
great show, shall be enforced and per
cent of his share in the show is given
to Clinton Seely, providing he will de-
vote sufficient time to the show to carry
it on successfully. In the event of this
sum reaching over $4,000 per year, the
balance goes to the estate.
To Mrs Buchetel of Denver, Col, he
gives 765 acres of valuable land in that
city.
To Treasurer Fish he bequeathes 2
to his private secretary, III. T. Bowser,
and his real estate agent, G. Broth
well, $1,000.
The residuary estate after the pay
ment of bequests, is divided among his
children and grandchildren.
To Tufts college he bequeathes S40,-
600 The will also makes provision for
numerous religious and charitable in
stitutions in sums from 81, 900 to S., 900.
Nathan Seely, his son-in-law. is
given $50, 900, but he provides that if
creditors can take any of this away
from him the amount is to go to Mr..
Seely's children. His physicians, valet
and servants are all remembered with
small sums. The will provides that il
any persons mentioned in the will pro-
test against the probate of the instru-
ment their bequests are set aside.
The last codicil, dated March 30, 1891,
provides that his executors shall COM
plete the new historical and scientific
society building in this city, the same
to cost S125, ,000 VIM. r. Kinks, of the
City savings bank, and Treasurer Fish,
of the great show, are named as exec
utors, to serve without bonds.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.


NASHVILLE, April THE homo Of
ex-President James X. Polk, at which
his aged widow now resides, is adver-
tised to be sold for city taxes amount
ing to 81. 900. =
Mrs. Polk is amply able to pay the
taxes, having a pension of SIS, 600 and re-
ceives nearly 81, 900 interest on her State
bonds, and perhaps she does not know
that she is in arrears.
In his will President Polk attempted
to keep the mansion in the family for
ever by bequeathing it upon his wife's
death to the State of Tennessee, to be
held in trust by the governor, or if he
should decline to assume the trust, then
such person as the Legislature may Sc
leot shall permit the house to be occu-
pied and used by such of his blood rela-
tives as have the name of Polk-prefer-
ing the nearest of kin, but If there be
none named Polk, then the house is to
be used by such other blood relations as
may be designated. It is provided that
whoever occupies the house shall keep
it in repair and pay the taxes. The
relatives with whom Mrs. Polk is now
living arc not blood relatives. 1t iscon
tended that should the property be sold
TO some outside party for taxes and a
deed be made this would defeat the
terms of the will, and the State could
not carry out the trust imposed upon it.
The property is very valuable, being
two acres in extent and lying in the
heart of the city, on the corner of Vine
and Union streets.

A Capt. Kidd Find.

UNION CITY, April 5.-A gentleman
from the. Hombeak neighborhood, q
postoffice some miles from here, gives
an account of the discovery of hidden
gold to the amount of SO, 200 this week.
1t is said that the money was dug up by
Bill Harris on his stepfather's farm. In
the days before the war an old bachelor
named Johnson ran blacksmith shop
on the plantation. He was u peculiar
old fellow and had little to do with any
one outside of business matters. Many
people knew he had money, but no one
knew what he did with it, as he died
very suddenly.
1t is thought that johnson hid this
newly discovered treasure, and the find
ing of it solves the mystery of long
standing as to its whereabouts. The
money has been searched for time and
again near where the shop stood with
mineral rods, ETC., but was never dis
covered. Harris has shown q number
of pieces of the coin as a proof of his
lucky find.

SOMEWHAT SENSATIONAL.

Report Current In Rome that United
States Minister Porter is to be Dismissed
and the Entire italian Legation Ordered
Home-Italian Blood Boiling Over COM
ments and Caricaturcs in the American
Press-Secretary Blaine SkepticaI.
ROME, April 12.-It is reported that,
If the United States government does
not answer the note from the Marquis
Imperiali to-day, Minister Porter will
be ordered to leave Italy, and the whole
Italian legation at Washington will be
recalled, Italian interests in Washing
ton to be left in charge of the British
minister.
italian Blood Again Boiling.
LONDON, April 12.-Last nights ad-
vices from Italy represent the Rudini
cabinet as deeply hurt by American COM
ments on the Italian difficulty, and that
there is consequently a revulsion of
feeling in favor of aggressive measures.
1t is said that King Humbert has re-
ceived from the editor of an italian
newspaper in America package of
American newspapers containing pic
lures ridiculing his majesty, and be-
littling the power and dignity of Italy.
One picture in particular. representing
the king as monkey, gave great Of
fense. Italian blood is again boiling,
and something startling is anticipated
within few days.
Secretary Blaine Doesn't Believe 1t.
WASHINGTON, April IL. - Secretary
Blaine was shown the Rome and Lon
don cable dispatches last night by a
representative of the United Press, re-
porting a arevulsion of feeling in Italy in
favor of aggressive measures toward
the United States, and determination
on the part of the italian government
to order Minister Porter to leave Italy,
and to recall the remnant of the Ital-
ian legation now at Washington. The
secretary read the dispatches carefully
and simply remarked: "Not word re-
lating to all these reports has reached
the department. No credit is given to
the rumors. They seem to be sensa-
tional"
Beyond this Secretary Blaine would
have nothing to say about the italian
imbroglio.
Marquis Imperiali, the Italian charge
d'affaires, could not be found last night
either at legation headquarters or at
home.
There is a general disposition to dis
credit the report in unofficial circles.
but this is based on opinion as to the
possible course of events, and no one
has been seen has actual information
on the subject.
