DUNNES RATIFY.
Speeches by Gov. Albeit, Senator
Hudspeth and All the Can
didates.

The rooms of the John E. Dunno Asso-
citation on the Heights were crowded to
overlooking last night with staunch DEM
ocrats of the old Fourth District. The
occasion was a reception to the candi-
dates of the Democratic party.
The greatest enthusiams prevailed
when Governor Abbott arrived. He was
at once escorted about the sp acious quar-
ters and then made a short speech. He
dwelt on the necessity for unity in the
party and thought that associations like
like the Dunnes did more to promote it
than anything else. He said that every
district should have lumber of first
class clubs. The governor then briefly
eulogized the candidates and said that the
Democratic party was never stronger in
HUDSON County and throughout th Q
State than it is today.
Robert Hudspeth was the next speaker.
Then followed Mayor Cleveland, Surro-
gate O'Neil, Director Bruggemann and
Assistant Prosecutor Joseph Norman.
After the speech-making there was a
social session.

HEZ. SMITHS WILL.
Chancellor McGill Admits the Dis
puted Document to Probate.
Special to the JERSEY city Ne.D,.


TRENTON, Oct. 20. 1891. Nc
cision in the celebrated will case of ex-
Congressman Hezekiah b Smith. of Bur-
lington. Before reaching his decision he
reviewed all the evidence in the case
against the will which was not granted
by the Surrogate. A suit was began in
the Burlington Orphans Court, which
sat aside Smiths last will. and an appeal
was made to the Court of Chancery
by Andrew j. Smith, the other
Trustee. The Chancellor, in considering
the evidence. says that the will was no
doubt the result of a compact made by
Smith with his young wife Agnes, prior
to her death. He fell in love with
young girl, and ruined her.
Prior to this, while separated from
Verona Smith, he often referred to her
as his wife and so addressed her,
and during frequent visits from
his sons acknowledged his pater-
nifty. After the young girl was
educated he married her and established
his business In new community where
he thought his desertion of his family
was unknown and there instanced the
young woman as his mistress
in an elegant home. She began to hear
of the existence of the wife and children
In Vermont. 1t was an annoyance. and
mour she inspired him with
the idea of denying them.
and in strong language blackened the
memoirs of both the late Congressman and
his young wife, Agne. Mr.. Smith died
wealthy, leaving all his estate to Trustees
to t9, found school for young mechanics.
he deserted at Woodstock, VI,
and her children filed caveat
Dur ing the visits OF Elton, the son, he
called him father. and she became indig-
nant, and subsequently she declared that
from her medical education she knew
that Smith never was the father of the
chiieren who were considering him as
their parent
AS Smiths social condition improved.
he became politically ambitious and ran
for Congress. 1t was then, at the Investi-
CATION of Agnes, that he openly re-
nounced ihs wife and children to
set at rest current political stories.
He afterwards continued to do so.
The Chancellor considered that he per-
haps was deceived by the statement of
Agnes that he was not the father of the
children, but it looks more like persistent
falsehoOds to serve his social aud politi-
cal standing, and 1t was decided
between them that he would leave his
tiOhSy Aoi tnO LouAuluS " d SCuuOl lOr
young mechanics. This was 10 preuent
him leaving it to his wife and children in
Vermont. To have acknowledged them
in his last will would have blackened his
character. After her death he carried
out the compact. He made the will five
years after her death. SO that
it cannot be said that he
was influenced. He possed mental ca
pacity TO make will. That is all the
law requires No matter how much hard
ship this will works on his rejected wife
and children, and how much indignation
may be felt at the making of an uni ust
will, the law in its simplicity has been
fulfilled, and the decree below is reversed
and the will made by Smith admitted to
probate.

SUNDAY SCHOOL talk,
But 1t Was Out of Business
Hours and Out Of .
Gear.
SHOCKED A POLICE JUSTICE
He Raped for Order and Put the
Defendants Under Bonds-A
Civil Suit Possible. :.

The arraigument of Mrs. Annie West
ervelt, of No. 1o4 Halladay street, with
her brother. George Rogers, in the Third
police court, before Justice Kimmerly
this morning caused somewhat of sem
satfon.
Mrs. Westervelt is cha rming brunette
about twenty years old, aud for long
time has been conspicuously identified
with church work In the German Evan
gelicai Church, of which the Rev
Gottfried Andreae is pastor. Mrs. West
ervelt is Sunday school teacher, and
has long taught a class of girls to walk
always in the straight and narrow path
The teachers motto, to all intent and
purposes, was, do as say, not as do. !"
The charge upon which the lady was
arraigned was that she had abused Mary
Schmidt by calling her vile and indecent
names.
he complainant is also decided bru-
nette, and this was the target at which
the Sunday school teacher and her bic
ther hurled the vile epithets, which
shocked the Court, amused the crowd in
the lobby, and which are unfit for publi-
cation.
JUSTICE KIMBERLY SHOCKED.
When Mrs. Westervelt was told of the
charge upon which she had been ar
raigned, she fell on her brothers shouI-
der and wept The latter remained mn
disturbed and said nothing, but Mrs.
Westervelt naturally denied the charge.
Tears rolled down the Woman's face
faster and faster as the complainant
Mary Schmidt repeated some of the
most vile and obscene remarks which she
said the fair prisoner had made use of
in an apparently unwarranIed attack.
Before the complainant had finished re :
peating the remarks she said were made
bv Mrs. Westervelt, Justice Kimmerly
pounded on his desk with his gavel and
put stop to the utterance of further evil
dence.
The arrest was the result of clothes
line fight and Justice Kimmerly, after
reprimanding the prisoners for so far for :
getting themselves as to make use of
such language, required them to furnish
bonds in the sum of 800 each to keep the
peace.
This disposition of the case pleased the
complainant as she left the court smil-
ing. followed by host of friends. Mrs.
Westervelt had bOndsmen on hand and
they also were allowed to depart in
stantly.
The arrest of Mrs. Westervelt so long
identified with the church as one of It's
chief workers, has caused no end OF com
ment, and it is not at all improbable that
Pastor Andreae will ventilaLe his ideas
concerning the matter. 1t is also rumored
that Mrs. Westervelt will seek redress
through civil proceedings.

ALAsKA'S DENSE FORESTS.
The Wonderf ul Fertility of the Moist
Soil

The Wonderful Fertility of the Moist
Soil
A correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Ledger. writing recently Of Alaska, says
that one can scarcely imagine, from the
usual forest-eXperience, how closely the
forests Of that country are packed to-
geuher. ~ and my wife, he says. "un-
dertook to walk four miles by an Indian
trail through one of these woods TO a
point where we might head off our vessel.
So thick was the mass of vegetation on
each side of us, the path being wide
enough for us to travel single file only,
that we could not have seen bear ten
feet off. One reason for the
dense covering of the land with trees
is the favorable conditions for
scarcity of seed. eating creatures. The
warm temperature given off by the Sea
of Japan, which comes up southwes terly
to break against Alaska shores, meets
the snowy cold of the mountain peaks,
condensing the moisture so that the sur
face of the ground. or indeed anythin e
else, is never absolutely dry, aud every
seed that falls to the earth has chance
to sprouJ and grow. In the old Indian
village were white spruces twenty feet
high growing out of the top of totem
poles These poles are themselves thirty
or forty feet high, and seem TO have been
selected from the largest trees. They are
stripped of their bark, and have carved
ON them series of likenesses of creatures,
real and imaginary, representing the
genealogical descent OF members of the
tribe. 1t was curious sight to see the
white spruces, like huge Christmas trees,
growing from the fat tops Of these poles.
In some cases the roots of these living
trees had split the poles in their descent
downward to the earth, into which the
roots had in some cases SO thoroughly
penetrated that should the poles finally
rot away the trees would probably on
these stlts of roots continue to grow on
trees as high up in the atmosphere. Moth
ing but climate continually saturated
with moisture would permit of seed
sprouting. and the tree continuing to
manner.
