BUTTE, Mont, Sept. - To-day's
court proceeding in the famous Davis
will case was of more than ordinary in
terest, and forms the subject of consid-
cradle comment. The proponent, John
A. Davis, was on the stand, also A. j.
Davis, of the First National bank. a
nephew of the late Al. Davis, who testi-
fed that the signature of the alleged
will was genuine. BY mutual agree
ment of counsel for the prepayment and
contestants, with the consent of the
court, practical test of the ink on the
alleged will took place in the presence
of the court and jury.
One letter in the body of the will and
one letter in each of the signatures OF
the attesting witnesses, together with a
portion of tie scroll line under the sig
nature of the late A. j. Davis.w were sub
iected to the test. The contestants
witnesses, David n. Carvalho, David L.
Ames, of New York, and w. NJ. (. Hagen,
of Troy. Ny, have been testifying and
claiming the will was written with
nigroSin ink, which was not known or
manufactured until many years subse-
quent to the date Of that i'll which the
instrument was executed They also
claimed the signature of Sconce, the
only living witness to the will, was
written with an iron ink.
The tests to-day were conducted by
ii. l.. Tilman, of Chicago, for the con-
teStants, while II. b. Hodges, of Bos-
ton, late superintendent of tests of the
Union Pacific system, represented the
proponents. About one hour was con-
sumed in making the tests and taking
the testimony of the experts as to
the result The tests showed con-
clusively, and 10 the salts

correctness of the evidence given by
Hodges several days since that not only
the body of the will, but all of the sig
natures, were written with logwood
ink, which has been in use for period
OF forty years. The result has caused
something of sensation. The court
will present the case to the jury in a
few days and it is expected the result
will be known about the 18th inst.

MIDLAND, Tex, Sept. 1.-The rainfall
expedition which has been conducting
the experiments at tue Chicago ranch,
twenty-five miles from this place, will
proceed at once to Ell Paso. John
S. Ellis, who is in command of
the expedition during COL Dryenforth's
temporary absence In Washington, is
making extensive preparation to have
a grand test at Ell PasO. The mayor
and citizens of Ell Paso have offered to
bear all expenses of the experiments,
but this offer has only been accepted in
part.
The smallness of the appropriation
under which the rain producers have
been working, compels the acceptance
of outside help. Many prominent men
have written and promised to be pres
ent to see Uncle Sans producers make
rain, and from letters received from all
over Texas. it is thought great MANY
people will come. A delegation from
Southeastern Texas came to see Mr..
Ellis yesterday and agreed to advance
$4,000 TO pay the expenses of further ex-
pertinent there. Gov. Hogg is greatly
interested i'll the subject, and is in cor
respondence with Secretary Rusk in re-
gard to the continuance of experiments
in this state at the expense of the citi-
Zens. The rain makers will 90 to South

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. City Treas
urer w. f. Wight has forwarded a let
ter to Auditor General McCamant, ask
ing that he join with him in the dis
missal of Mercantile Appraisers Ed
ward N.-Patton, Albert Crawford, Sam
uel f. Houseman, Harry Hunter and
James +. Bell, constituting the present
board of mercantile appraisers for the
city and county of Philadelphia, and
makes the following charges against
them:
First-That the appraisers have regu-
larly and deliberately, for the purpose
of defrauding the state, assessed ficti-
tious persons and those from whom no
payment of mercantile taxes was or
could be collected.
Secondhand they have regularly ex-
empted from the payment of the tax
those who were subject to and perfectly
able to pay it.
Third-That they have grossly under
rated many hundred of prominent mer-
chants and dealers for purposes best
known to themselves.
Fourth-That they sent out notices of
assessment placing certain taxpayers in
high class while they have returned
them to this department as assessed IN
lower class, thus enabling third par
ties to collect from taxpayers the larger
sum, while the smaller amount only
was paid into the treasury. and the state
was defrauded of the difference.
Fifth-That their plan as to reduc-
tions and exception has been a syste-
matte scheme OF swindling, which has
resulted invariably in oppression to the
citizen. in loss to the state, an in de-
mnralizatiOn to the country.

UNDER NEW RULE.
The Congressionaiists Will Brook
No DiSturbers.


NEW YORK, Sept Ia special from
Valparaiso to the World, dated Aug 81,
says: Balmaceda is supposed to have
been endeavoring to escape from
San Antonio in the Almirante
Condell. which was seen off that
port this morning. The Esmeralda and
Aconcagua have gone out to intercept
the Condell. 1t is supposed that Bal
ceda's intention is to escape to Monte
video. All the hospitals here are full of
wounded and private houses are being
used temporarily. 1t is estimated
that there are 1000 wounded now
in the city. The property of the
Balmacedaists will be confiscated to pay
off the paper issue of the dictator. The
banks have been temporarily closed for
the inspection of their books, in order
to ascertain the amounts to the credit
of Balmaceda and his satellites. The
city is quiet. The merciless slaughter
of rioters and incendiaries effectually
suppressed all disturbances.
Although the Congressional forces are
weakened by the departure of the troops
sent to Santiago to restore order there,
and under Col. Canto TO take formal
possession of the capital, the citizens
guard, and the American, British, Ger
duty, and there is little likeli-
hood that Valparaiso will again
be disturbed by war. The Con-
gressionalists are determined to
repress all reasonable utterances by
word and III writing. They have made
an example of Leon LAWN, the editor of
the Balmacedan newspaper. the Jornal
do Concrete. He was shot yesterday
for issuing sedltiOus pamphlets, and his
fate will be that of any partlsans of the
lost cause who seek to infiame the pop
ular mind against the victors.
The explanation of the riots at Santi-
ago is that when Balmaceda delivered
the capital to Baquedano. who was
charged with handing 1t over to the
Congressionalists, there were not spffi-
Gent troops in 1t to maintain order. The
populace. enraged by the severity of
Balmaceda's rule. under which they
had chafed. abused the liberty which
came to them with the change of power.
The mob let loose all its pent-up fury.

evening that his client would make an

ors next Thursday Mr.. Ferguson
stated that all of Chambers creditors
except one were willing to grant an ex-
tension, but one creditor to the amount
OF 500, GOO absolutely refused to Join in

ferguson said that Mr.. Mckee would
not suffer from the failure of his
partner. The attorney refused to
give statement of Mr.. Chambers

WORRIED THE WIDOW.
Two Michigan Wives Take Sum,
mary Vengeance.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept. L.
Eugene Cavander, merchant at
Grafton, Newago county, died a few
months ago, leaving all his property
and $4,000 life insurance to his wife.
After his death the widow went
to Newago and spent most of heI
time at the saloons kept by John Sur
plus and John Barley. Her conduct
scandalized the neighborhood and
aroused the jealousy of the wives of the
saloonists. Late at night, accompanied
by few male relatives, the wives visit
ed the house where the widow and her
daughter lived. They knocked for ad.
mission, but the widow refused to adj.
NIT them. While one stood guard at the
door the other broke window and en-
tered, also letting her companion IN.
The two wives then sat upon the wind
ow, and, after beating and choking
her, poured tar over her and finished
the operation with a bucket of feathers.
The tar and feathers were passed
through the window by the male rela-
tives outside. Mrs. Lavender has since
been confined to her bed. AS soon as
she RECEIVERS suit will be commenced for
damages.

EGAN STILL SILENT.
Uncle Sans Minister Is Appar-
emily Ossified.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 1.-The state de-
partment received no Chilian news to-
day. and this has caused some surprise
at the navy department, which depends
on the diplomatic branch of the gov
eminent for most of its informa-
ton from Chill. Commodore Ramsey,
chief of the naval bureau of navigation.
called ON Acting Secretary Wharton at
the state department this morning. but
Mr.. Wharton could give him no news
about the vessels under AdmiralBrow
He was also informed that the state de-
partment had done nothing about the
refugees who are on United States YES
sells under the protection Of the adj
mlral, because the department had re-
ceived no information concerning them.
The belief at the state department
about the absence of information from
Minister Egan, according to statement
from there to-day, is that the wires are
not in working order. Concerning the
Balmacedists on board Admiral Browns
vessel it is said at the department that
they are political refugees, and, as such.
have right to protection from this
government, and while they are on
board the American fleet they are on
United States territory and, therefore,
have the privileges of United States
subjects. This point was settled by the
Barrundia affair.

CAUSED RAIN TO FALL
Melbourne Successful in Produce
ing Moisture.

CHEYENNE, WyO., Sept. Mel
bourne's rainmaking has been crowned
with success. At 2:30 this afternoon a
storm suddenly broke forth con-
trary to all expectations, and
two hours later there was a
heavy rain in accordance with
Melbourne's predictions. The rainfall
extended over radius of fifteen to
twenty miles around the city, and the
official measurement was half inch.
The government observer declared there
was no premonltions of the coming
storm, and although it was purely local.
another shower is promised in few
hours.
Those who were skeptical are now
convinced that there is something in
Melbourne'S system. The committee
having the matter in charge took every
yrecautiOn to obtain satisfactory test
aud Observer Ravenscroft rendered i'm
pOrtant assistance. They say that
Melbourne has done what he agreed to.
There is general desire, however, TO
have further tests under the supervision
of government experts. Plenty of
money will be raised here for that pur-
pose.
