Actor Florence,s VIII.

New YORK, Jan. 26.--When the atten-
ton of friends of William Florence was
called to the San Francisco story that
Miss Florence Hall of San Francisco
would sue for share of the estate, they
claimed that he was notably free from
entanglements of this kind, either on or
Oft the stage. His brother, Police In
spector Conlin, said that he took very
little stock in the San Francisco story
The woman, he said, would have great
difficulty in proving her claim. Billy"
he said, was charitably disposed, and
frequently gave checks to needy actors
or others, of $40 to S50.'' Lawyer Keybels,
Mrs. Florenoe's COUNSEL said that he has
as yet received no notice of the claim.
The citation for the probate of Florences
will is returnable before the Surrogate on
January 18th. None of the relatives in
tend to dispute it.

A Young Man Arrested on a Charge
of Murder.
STOCKTON, Jan. 26.-Sheriff Kay of
Tulare County to-day arrested a young
man named Frank Talmadge on charge
of murder, but it is believed here that no
murder was committed, and that Tai
madge is innocent of any crime. Tai
madge has been living with his elder
brother, near Traver. Last month man
named Austin Cole, who was a sewing
machine agent, disappeared from Traver.
and it was learned that Talmadge and a
man named James Search left with him.
Nothing since has been heard of Cole, and
cousin of his, believing a murder had
been committed, swore out complaint
for Search and Talmadge. Search was
arrested a few days ago at Bakersfield.
Talmadge was at Lodi to-day, and at
Kay's request Sheriff Cunningham had
him brought in by an officer. Search
and Talmadge agree in the story that
they left Cole and Daggett early in De-
cember alive, and as well as a consump-
tive could be.

ITALY AND THE HOLY SEE,
Endeavors Being Made to Effect a Re-
Cancellation.

ROME, Jan. 26.-It was learned from
Vatican sources a few days ago that Car
dlnal Van Nutteli had long interview
with the Pope on the subject of a recon-
citation between the Holy See and Italy.
The interview was prompted by the En-
peror OF Austria, who is personally inter
ested in the matter. Austria, it is under
stood, asks of the Pope the participation
OF Catholics IN the Italian parliamentary
elections, and modification of the pres
ent favorable attitude Of the Holy See to-
ward France. In return for this, Austria
wants Italy to change her inimical atti-
tude toward the Vatican to one of a more
friendly character, and put an end to the
religious persecution Of Catholics. Aus
trla has triple end in view-to save the
triple alliance from discredit in Catholic
worlds, to prevent the Vatican going
over to the side of France, and to arrest
the radical movement in Italy which
might IN time threaten the position of the
monarchy.
The Italian court and Government have
slgnltled their approval of the rapproche-
ment on the lines laid down.

Four Judges Sit Upon the
Business Of the Special
Term Day.

Judge Cornish filed an order yester-
day in the matter of the assignment of
the Commercial bank, in which he or
ders the assignee TO turn over to Bertha
E. Walther $50 in money, and checks
aggregating 1875, which she placed ON
deposit on April 81. the same day the
run was being made on the bank, and
on which it closed its doors at noon.
She was not notified by the teller that
the bank was about to close its
doors. 1t is held that the
money and checks did not become the
property OF the bank before assign
ment, and did not pass to Frank A Sey-
mour. the assignee. The bank did not
take it as general deposit, as was in
timated by Bertha E. Walthers, but ac-
cepted it as special deposit. The court
holds that for this reason she is entitled
to repudiate the act of the bank in de-
parting from the general practice, and
TO have her property returned to her.
The SOlvency of the bank at the time of
the deposit is not passed upon.
A similar order was filed in the case
of George w. Masters, who made de-
post OF small sum on the day the
bank closed its doors.
