SENIOR PARTNER NOW.
Confirmation of the Firm Inter-
est Sale to Young Fuller.

The sale of the three eighths interest of
William P. Fuller, deceased, in the firm OF
Whittier, Fuller Il Co., to his son, William
P. Fuller Jr., for $780, 600, negotiated by
the widow, the executrix of the estate, was
confirmed by Judge Coffey yesterday.
1t will be remembered that upon Mrs.
Fuller's filing report of the sale and petit
tioning the Probate Court for its confrma-
ton W, Frank Whittier, the senior member
OF the firm, asserted his right, under the
articles of cOpartnership entered into be-
tween him and the deceased, to purchase the
three-eighths interest in exclusion of all
other parties. Suit was commenced setting
forth his claim, and Judge Wallace issued
an Injunction intended to restrain all fur
Their proceedings toward the confirmation Of
the sale.
Upon service of the same being made on
Mrs. Fuller and her attorneys, the former
being on the witness-stand at the moment in
Judge COffey's department. Attorney Lyons
representing the heirs by virtue of his APP
pontment by the court, contended that the
injunction was of no effect as regarding him
self, and insisted upon proceeding. Judge
Coffey ruled that the point was we'll taken,
and the matter was pursued to final issue
yesterday.
Mrs. Fuller testified that she was satisfied
it was to The best interests of all concerned
that the sale should be confirmed, and young
Fuller stated that he thought S1,400,000
fair price for his fathers interest. Mr..
Whittier, when sworn, expressed his feeling
that under the agreement between himself
and the deceased he was entitled to make
the purchase in preference to young Fuller.
but Judge Coffey, after listening to the evil
dence and arguments of counsel, concluded
to confirm the sale.
Mr.. Fuller has paid 100000 down and
given his notes for the balance, so that not
withstanding Whittier's strenuous objections
the young man will assume seniority in
the partnership.

LYTTON SPRINGS.
How J. N. DOnahue Came to Buy
the Property.

In December George S. Montgomery be-
gan suit against James NJ. Donahue's ex-
ecutors, Peter j. McGlynn and j. f. Burgin,
to recover $4,000 on promissory note,
bearing date of March I, 1887, and an answer
was filed yesterday averring that the note in
question was procured by false representa-
tions, and setting forth full particulars con-
corning transaction by which the purchase
of Lytton Springs. in Sonoma County, was
effected by Donahue.
1t seems that plaintiff was DESTROYS of sell
ing the springs and employed an agent to
enter into negotiations with DOnahue. TIE
agent represented the property to be worth
S2l5,000 and said that since Donahue was
engaged in the operation of a railroad from
the neighborhood of the springs to San
Francisco, the bottling and sale of mineral
water, the business in which the plaintiff
was then engaged, and from which he real
lied no less than from $500 TO $1,000 per
month, could be carried on with great profit
to him.
The agent also stated that another party
was DESTROYS of securing the property and
had offered an increase OF $4,000 in the
purchase price on condition OF an immediate
sale, but Donahue requested delay in the
proceedings, he wishing to ascertain the
soundness of the plaintiffs title. The agent
would brook no DELAY, however, and it was
at last agreed that Donahue should have
the property on deposting note for $4,000
in part payment. The plant was not trans
ferred, however, until $500 more had been
added, and later on DOnahue made pay
mentS in all aggre2ating Sl6,670 IS.
1t subsequently transpired that the real
value of the property did not exceed 500, 600;
in fact, it was assessed at but $4,000. and
Donahue, desiring to recede from the con-
tract offered to reconvey the property on
the moneys being refunded. Up to the
time of his death the contract was still in
force but the $4,000 note remains unpaid.
So far from being willing to pay this, how
ever, the executors pray that it be declared
to have been obtained by fraud and that it
be cancelled.

TISDALE ON THE STAND.
The Witness COntradicts Himself
in the Dana Case.

The hearing in the Dana viii contest was
resumed yesterday and DR.. Thomas p. lis
dale placed on the stand for further cross
examination. He was piled with questions
relating to his intercourse with Dana, and
particularly with regard to statements made
regarding the disposition of the decedent's
estate.
The witness said: "My only statement to
Dana concerning his affairs was, PROBES
sor. fear you will not get well. While
sincerely hope you may, l say that 1t is wise
for every man to have his business settled.
Have you your business settled?' Dana re-
piled: L have made my will; it is in the
hands of Mrs. Smith and is in her favor
Continuing. the witness said: II wish to
make an explanation. l have been reported
in the newspapers as having testified that
/ asked Dana the question, Where is your
will?' That is false. made no such state
ment."
At this point Mr.. KOwalsky smiled and,
turning to the court reporter, directed him
to refer to his notes and read the doctors
testimony given on cross-examination. The
reporter read:
"Question-'What else. if anything. did
he say to youY
"Answer-I said, where is your will

Smith,"
No further questions were asked, and

circumstances of the stabbing of John
NJ. Bowen.
The trial of Frederick Charles Beck for
the murder of John NJ. Bowen, was COM
menced before Judge Murphy yesterday, a
jury having been secured the day before
Henry Hahn, the proprietor of the grocery
and liQuor-store at Fourteenth and Mission
streets, where the tragedy occurred, was
the first witness called for the people.
Bowen was tending bar for me that
n ight," said the witness. "When Beck first
came in he had little trouble with Bowen
over ten cents that was due, and which he
finally paid to Bowen. Then some one sug-
gested that Beck should go home. l said |
thought that would be good idea, as Beck
had been drinking freely. Beck got mad at
this and threw a beer glass at me. 1t struck
the mOlding around the mirror back of the
bar. Then Bowen went for Beck, and with
my assistance, landed him out on the pave
ment.
Bowen and | returned to the bar-room
and DR.. Reese came in. We all stood talk
ing together at different places in front of
the bar Presently Beck came in through
the grocery-store. Bowen said to me,
You'd better keep him out; he's looking
for trouble.
''At this Beck stepped over to where
Bowen stood and made sudden movement
as though stabbing him in the back. Bowen
fell and died in few minutes. saw 10

ordered Arnheim into custody on a charge
OF misdemeanor ENLIGHTENMENT. The case
was then continued until to-day, and new

Fraud Backed by Forgery.

Mrs. Emily Phillips case. in the Justices
drew Speck. to recover $780, was decided in
her favor yesterday. The defendants pre-
tend to be real estate agents, vino, nego-
tiating the purchase of lodging house for
Mrs. Phillips, required her to pay 500
down on some pretext or other. The pur-
chase was not made, and she demanded the
return of the money, which was refused
In court the defendants produced an alleged
contract signed by Mrs. Phillips with her
mark. but il proved to be the most palpable
forgery. Mrs. Phillips swore she had never
seen it before, and that lis fraudulent ma
ture must be apparent because she could
sign her name as well as anybody.

white; the Byron" cravat, ending in
bow or rosette, but free and easy
around the neck; the ''cravate mathe-
matique," grave and severe IN style, the
slightest wrinkle being strictly prohib-
tied; the "cravate de gastronome," a
loose, elastic bundle of muslin that
yielded to the vacillation of the jaws,
and possessed the advantage of being
easily loosened in cases of indigestion or
apoplexy. There were eighteen ways of
tying a cravat, with knots and without
knots, sometimes with triple knots, and
not infrequently ending in a ruf1e or a
waterfall. A properly equipped traveller
in the early part of the century carried
a box containing dozen pure white, a
dozen striped white and dozen colored
cravats, two whalebone stiffeners and
small iron to press the folds into shape
Gradually these old fashions have
given place to the modern scarf and
necktie, which may be generalized under
three heads-the puff, the flat and the
simple knot of evening Dress They take
any popular name that gives them indi-
viduality. The taste in wearing them
varies according to the wearer. AS a
rule, wealthy men care the least about
dress. Some are satisfied to be simply
neat, and some do not care to be even
that. President Arthur was always
dressy, but never ostentatious; Grant
always bought plain black neckties;
Cleveland is simplicity itself, and con-
tents himself with hand tied necker-
chief. Edmunds of Vermont, Hale OF
Maine, Hawley of Connecticut, and
Hampton and Butler of South Carolina,
are quiet dressers.
The same may be said of many famous
men in the commercial walks of life
Gould, George Vanderbilt, Depew, the
Rockefellers, and others who move in the
group of millionaires. Actors, club men
and those VINO mingle much in society

harmonious with the rest of their cos
tune. 1t goes without saying that the
