A Perplexed Assignee.

Benjamin Einstein. the assignee Of Abra-
ham Backer, declares that though he has
had much to do with bankrupt estates, he
has never had anything to do with any
other one that puzzled him 50 much as this
one of Bscker. Aud he has been compelled
to ask the court to grant him more time in
which to become better acquainted with
Backer's affairs.
It does seem strange that the assignee has
been able TO find so little of the vast estate
Backer was supposed to have. Backer failed
for 81 600, aud yet the assignee has found
only $3.50, 900. More than So. OoO. 900 has gone
somewhere, but wherel That is the ques-
ton that is pulling the assignee and
Backers creditors. And the queerest fact
of the whole business is that Backer can
give no account Of the vast amount of
property that ought to be in his hands. At
least he says he cannot, but it is hard to
convince people that his ignorance is gen.
uine.
The banks were wonderfully deceived in
Backer. A month or 30 before his failure
he could have obtained almost any amount
from them without other security than his
ing which the assignee makes. however, he
must have been insolvent for years.
SBut if Baoker is really an honest man
his books ought to show what has become
of the property he ought to have. Their
failure TO do so ought to be pretty good evil
dence that there has been crooked work
somewhere.
A man who fails honestly has no difficulty
In showing what has become of his capital,
and how he became involved. Those whose
books are unintelligible are open to suspi-
cion.
Some of Backer's creditors thought that
he would be able to pay so cent on the dollar
and they were inclined TO question the
wisdom of Judge Harden's course in having
him arrested on a criminal charge. But if
the reported statement of the assignee,
Einstein, is correct there is no probability
that he will pay more than cents on the
dollar II Backer has concealed any money
and securities it is probable that he would
! go to jail before giving them up.

test. is about 40 years of age. and is the
son Of a man who WAS the gardener Of Mr..
Mark Hopkins in San Francisco. Mr..
HOPKINS was Mrs. Hopkins-Ssaries' first
husband. and 81 his death he left all OF his
possessions TO her.
Several yesrs before his death Timothy
had been taken into his family and
treated as a son. and after his death Mrs.
Hopkins formally adopted him, and be took
the family name. Mrs. Hopkins made him
a rich man and placed him in trusted posi-
tions in the Southern Pacific railroad.
They agreed in everything until Mrs. Hop
kins married Mr. Searles in 1887. The
adopted son did not approve the marriage
and made disagreeable remarks about it.
And for his lack of discretion he did not get
dollar By the will.
Il seems TO be the impression that the
leading men in the Southern Pacific rail-
road will take part il the viii contest. Mr..
c. ?. Huntington has been able 60 maintain
bis asoendency in the Southern Pacific Rail-
way Company by the assistance Of the
great block OF the company's stock which
now belongs TO the Hopkins-Ssarles estate.
The Crockers aud Leland Stanford would
like 10 have control OF enough Of this stock
TO give them the ascendency in the manage
ment of the company. 1t is supposed that
they will lend assistance TO Timothy Hop
kins in his effort to break the will, and
that Mr.. Huntington will support Mr..
Searles. II this is the situation the contest
may be extended through years, and the
lawyers engaged in it will have royal pick
iugs.
But have not things come to q rather
pretty pass when almost every viii by
which a great estate is devised is attacked,
and. that too, with fair prospect of sue
cessl Mr.. Tllden has been dead several
years, and it Is not settled yet whether or
not his will is 20 stand. The SUCCESS which
attends the contesting Of wills, like the sue
cess which attends the efforts to rob express
cars, is making the attacking Of wills
matter Of very common occurrence. I'm
less the legislating power comes to the aid
Of testators their property will seldom go to
those 10 whom they devise it.

a Ludicrous Incident.


Archduke William of Austria who has lust
been directing some remarkable military opera
tons in connection with the mimic siege of the
important fortress of Komorn, in Hungary, is
the most genial, CHEEKY and jovial member of
the imperial family of Austria, says the New
York Recorder. Notwithstanding his VOWS of
celibacy as grand master of the ancient half
military, half-religious Teutonic order, he has
been the hero of innumerable adventures in
which the fair sex have been concerned and the
mere mention OF his name is sufficient to recall
to mind do9oas of amusing stories about him.
One of tie most laughable ones occurred
few days ago. The archduke was calling upon
a lady of rank, but of somewhat questionable
repute, and with q view of avoiding public
recognition be had dispensed with his carriage
and liveried servants in favor of THAT they call
in Vienna an unnumerierter, a private cab
which he was wont TO use for expeditions Of
this nature AT 10 O'Clock the ianitor was
about to close the doors of the house for the
court yard. He Immediately called upon the
driver to go and take up his station outside in
the street. This the cabby absolutely refused
to do. A violent alteration ensued between
the two men, and the janitor was on the point
OF summoning the police TO help him eject the
cab from the premises when the driver, in de
SPAR, caught hold of dim by the coat tail and
whispered in his ear:
ut Is me Archduke William who s upstairs,
and / have to wait for him right here"
"Himmel you don't say SOL" exclaimed the
janitor in awestricken tones. THE archduke
Why the devil didn't you say so at oncei OF
course it's all right Don't you stir l will sit
up 10 open the doors for you when he gets ready
to go.
Unable, however. to keep so important a
secret locked up in his breast, and elated beyond
description at the nonor conferred upon the
house by the presence of so illusUrious visitor
the janitor called several of his friends from a
peignboring cafe and informed them that the
archduke was upstairs. The news quickly
spread in the whole block. and when his i'm
peral highness left the house little after mid
night he found the street almost blocked by q
dense crowd who cried "Hochl" most Justify
and greeted him with demonstrations of the
greatest and most exuberant loyalty AS he
drove away they struck up the national anthem.

A Great WIN Contest.

When Mrs. Hopkins-Searles died a little
more than a month ago at Methuen. Mass.
leaving her vast estate. amounting to more
than $50 100000, to her husband. Edward
F. Searles, it was predicted that there would
be another great will contest. And the pre-
diction has come true. Mr.. Timothy Hop
kins, an adopted son of the late Mrs Hop
kins-Searles, is now in New York with his
lawyers for the purpose of beginning a con-
test They will go TO Methuen next Tues
day. the day on which the will is to be offered
for probate, and formally begin the contest,
unless in the meantime there should be a
compromise. of which at present. there does
appear to be any probability. The ground
upon which the contest is to be made is
that the testatrix was unduly influenced by
her husband, Mr.. Searles Each side has
employed eminent counsel, and the indica-
tions are that the contest will be long and
notable one. 1t may be years before it is
ended, as a vast amount of testimony will
have to be collected-testimony that will
touch the most sacred relations Of pri vate
life.
