EBENsBURG, Sept. 15-The interesting
fight of two wives for the insurance on the
life of w. H. Overlook, who was drowned
in the food, was heard in court here to-day.
Overlook was living with wife in Johns
town when he died, and it was not known
that he had two wives until another claim
ant appeared for the insurance money, in
the person iof Mrs. Jennie Overlook, of
Philadelphia.
The first witness examined was Mary
Overlook, the Johnstown wife, who testi-
fed that she was married to W. II. Over
beck, in Pittsburg, June 3, 1881; that her
husband had come from Philadelphia, but
she had always known him as single man.
She said her husband went to Philadelphia
only once year, and that it was to see his
mother. They had one child and it was still
living.
Mrs. R. W. Vanzelt, sister of Overlook,
and j. V. Overlook, both of Philadelphia,
were then examined and swore that Mary
them with her husband and been introduced
to his wife The marriage certificate, which
had been lost in the flood but found by
mere accident, was then produced and
sworn to.
Mrs. Jennie Overlook, the Philadelphia
woman, was then sworn and testified that
Sne was married to W. d. OverDeck, IN Ph1l-
adelphia, on the Goth of May, 1875, the cere-
mony being performed by Rev. W. C. Robin
son. They lived together for a time. After
her husband went to Johnstown he sent her
$40 a month for herself and children, sending
the last money a few days before being
drowned in May.
DR.. W. C. Robinson, pastor of the Method
ist Episcopal Church, Broad street, Phila-
delphia, testified that he had married Jen-
ME Black to W. H. Overlook at the time
mentioned, and Mrs. Margaret Black testi-
fed to being present at the marriage of her
daughter.
The attorneys then began argument, but
were cut short by the court, it being decided
that the tangled affair involved some COM
plicated questions in law and that the YER
dict should be rendered by the court the
jury being discharged. The trial involves
some $1,000 life insurance, which the COM
panies are willing to pay but do not know
which is the proper claimant.

MRS. FAIRS MILLIONS.
The Vast Estate Will Go Entirely to the
Dead Woman's Two Daughters.

The Vast Estate VIII Go Entirely to the
Dead Woman's Two Daughters.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-[Speeial. j
Though the will of Mrs. James G. Fair will
not be opened until after the funeral to-
morrow, its contents are known. The value
of the estate is estimated at 5000, 900. Only
a small part of this will go to the sons,
James G., Jr., and Charles, as at the time
of the separation of the Senator and Mrs.
Fair it was decided that she should care for
the girls and he the boys. Almost the en-
tire estate will be divided between the two
daughters, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs and Miss
Virginia Fair. None of the children will
receive anything but the income from their
legacies for a few years at least.
Mrs Fair did not bequeath anything to
the churches or charities, as she said she
had done much for them in her lifetime and
her family needed the money when she was
gone. It is estimated that she has given to
the Catholic Church, to which she be-
longed, fully $500, 900 during her lifetime.

PRAIRIE fires are laying waste all the
prairie beginning at Bray's Bayou, in Texas
and extending as far as the eye can see.
Fences have been destroyed and farmers
have lost immense quantities of hay. 1t
will probably extend to adjoining counties.
There is no hope of stopping it, as the coun-
try is burning up for the want of rain and
there is no indication of any falling soon.
PRAIRIE fires are damaging tracts of coun-
try extending south of the Northern Pacific
line in North Dakota, amounting to 20 square
miles. At last accounts the fire had not
crossed the line of the railroad. At New
England, 30 miles south of Dickinson, the

SECURED NOTES BY HYPN0TIsM.

The Signatures Of Housewives Apparently
Genuine-They Don't Remember Signing.
OIL CITY, Sept 15.-[SpeciaL ]-Reports have
been received from Dawson, several miles
up the Allegheny river, that some time ago
peddler left packages of goods at two
houses in that vicinity, about the only
houses along the river at that point. Two
notes signed by the housewives have come
to the surface for collection-one being for
s25 and the other for $S7. The signatures ap-
pear to be genuine, but the women have no
recollection of ever having signed them,
and did not do so while conscious of the
fact.
The peddler is, therefore, credited with
having secured the notes through some
hypnotic or mesmeric influence, and 1t is
matter OF conjecture as to where he now Is,
and how many notes he had secured in that
way.

NEW CASTLE, Sept 15.-[SpecidL l-County
Detective Marshall and Chief of Police Wells
returned at late hour last night, bringing
with them from Leetonia, O., Charles Hague,
William Lenz and William Davis, charged
with burglary.
The last two named tell remarkable story
of their connection with the crime. Hague
has served a term in the Ohio penitentiary
for horse stealing, and he is the recognized
leader of this gang. The other two are boys.
Davis and LanZ told the officers, coming to
this city, that Hague had forced them to
break into and enter the barn Of Thomas
Chapman, three miles from New Castle, by
holding a revolver to theic heads. Hague is
alleged to have forced the two boys to assist
him. When Davis, who held the door open
and carried light, accidentallyle let the door
shut with a noise, Hague drew his revolver,
cooked it and informed the boy that he
would blow his head Off il anything OF the
kind occurred again.
When they were arrested the stolen goods
were found in their possession, together
with an old mule and a wagon. The boys
now treat the matter as q huge joke and say
they intend to go West and kill Indians.
They are about II years Of age.
