The governor Of Vermont will APP
point Secretary Proctor United States
senator to succeed Edmunds. Senator
Proctor will enjoy the distinction Of
being the only new senator that state
has had in the U. s. congress during
the last twenty-five years. The De-
troit Fress Press represents him as q
quiet, ploddng, slow-coach man, who
will mako an honest and faithful
Representative Of his state, but can be
relied on not to startle the country.
The most interesting circumstance con
nected with Proctor's selection for the
senate will be the reconstruction Of the
cabinet that will follow. The presi
dent has kept his round table unbroken
for two years and half, and as this is
the first change OF advisers to occur
there will be considerable curiosity
concerning the election he will make.

A Strange Story Concerning a Dead
NTillionafre's Estate

a STORY concerning n Deat
nIiliionaire's Estate.
NEW York, Feb. 3.-George p Gordon,
who was well known as the owner of the
Gordon Press works at Railway, n. j.,
the Offices Of which were located al No. %
Nassau street, this city, died Jan. q, 1873,
aged 81 years, leaving an estate valued at
si500,0O0. Mr.. Gordon's first wife was a
Miss Cornish, who died several years be
fore her husband, leaving daughter This
was Mary Agnes, who was born in lsf9 and
whose will is now being contested before
Surrogate Ransom.
Mr. Gordan's second wife was Ienora M
May, and It was reported that she was the
wife Of one Henry Dubois Van Wyck be
fore she married Mr. Gordon she was very
much younger than Mr.. Gordon, who was
then about 80, and family dissensions soon
broke ont Some time after their marriage
Mr. Gordon's young wife introduced Van
Wvck into the house, and he continued to
reside there as if one OF the family.
By this time Mary Agnes had grown into
womanhood. She developed head .drono
dispOsition and finally became az .dicted ID
Incorporate habits. Mary left home and
Mr. Gordon went to Norfc4k, where ht
died, the only persons pre- sent at his death
being Mrs Gordon and Van Wyck. Mary
who was in Alabaraa at the time, tele
graphed her stepmother that she was going
on to see her ln.her, but received a reply
telling her not 20 come. She always in.
sisted that there was a mystery about her
fathers death
Subsequently Van Wyck married Mrs.
Gordon and they went to Fishkill, where
Van Wyck still lives. The woman died in
California of pneumonia on Dec % last.
BY G0rdon's will the widow and daughter
did not receive anywhere near as much
property as they would have received il
there had been no will. During the read
ing of the will Mary Gordon was intoxi-
Gated and insisted on making a scene. She
resolved to break the will aud succeeded
on the ground that the paper was not
properly executed The property was fin
ally divided between Gordon's second wife
and Mary Agnes.
Mary then went abroad and died very
mysteriously in Paris In her will she left
One-fifth of her money 10 Pauline Reitz, q
hairlresser, and the remaining four-fifths
to Samuel Richard Ruyssenaers, who re
sides at the Chateau dc Volkenberg. at
Steeg, near Arnhem, in Holland
The proponents Of the will claim that
Ruyssenaers was about to be married to
Miss Gordon.
II now appears that George r Gordon's
will executed in 1868 has just been found
by one Of his old friends, Henry G. Adams,
of Orange, n J. In this will Mr. Gordon
left one-fourth Of his estate and $1,000 a
year for Mary, and in case Of her marriage
her husband should have $1,000 cash for
his own use in addition The result of this
will is that Mary Agnes never having
been married. all the estate which Mr.
Gordon possessed ut the time Of his death
now passes TO his heirs-at-law and next Of
kin rs named in this will All Of Miss
Gordons interest in her fathers estate
under this win ended at her death, and
therefore She had nothing to convey Mt her
heMth
