CASAN0YA'S ESTATE.
judicial Determination of the Leg:
Heirs

Judicial Determination of the Legal
Heirs.
The matter of the estate Of Henry Casa
nova, who will be remembered as a bon
yivant, clubman, and at the time of his
death as Chairman of the italian Chamber
of Commerce in this city, advanced one step
nearer distribution yesterday, Judge Coffey
having legally determined who are the
legal heirs.
The settlement of this estate has been re-
tarded by the absence Of one of the princi-
pal legatees, a brother of the testator named
Alfred. No trace mas been had Of him since
eighteen years ago, when he went to Monte
video, the capital of the republic of Uru-
quay. A special commission was appointed
TO obtain proofs of him living or dead, and
having reported that no trace can be found
OF him Judge Coffey has pronounced him
civily dead. and has determined who shall
fall beir TO the estate.
These heirs are: Henry, a nephew, and
Eugenia Carnaglia, niece, who will fall
heir each to $4,000; Louis Tisconirna, a
cousin. $4,000; Alexander Vensano. the
executor, 5000 for himself and $4,000 more
in trust, one-half Of the latter sum for his
children and the other for Miss Nellie
Fuller; Fl. Ii. Veuve $500, and the iewelry
and paintings of the testator; and TO Ven
saao the $4,000 insurance in trust for pur-
poses outlined in the will.
This insurance, however. Is an asset of
doubtful value. and was yesterday the SUBJ
jet Of litigation on behalf of the estate be-
fore Judge Finn between the executor and
the Bankers and Merchants Mutual Life
Association. The concern is in the hands
of a receiver, and the claim is defended on
the ground that at the time OF Casanova
death on January ii, 1889, and also before
and after, its mortuarv fund was depleted,
and to pay claims its reserve capital had to
be drawn upon

ANOTHER DEPUTY.

Crimmins Installs e. j. Mills In tho
County Clerks Office.
There was rather peculiar evolution In
the political arena yesterday that may have
some significance as indicating which way
the wind is blowing. E. j. Mills was APP
pointed deputy in the County Clerks
office. fact hardly noteworthy but for the
circumstances connected with it.
Mr.. Mills represented the Forty-seventh
Assembly District in the late meeting OF
the Republican County Committee. and dis
tlngui shed himself by affiliating with the
burns w llSon faction on every issue. In
consideration of his services his principals
guaranteed him fat sit' In the Street De
partment which. il is said, has divided
political complexion, half and half for each
faction.
When Mr.. Mills stepped forward to be
Clothed with his new mantle, 1t is said he
was not at all pleased with it; he thought 1t
would be OF much finer texture and higher
priced. To use the committee vernacular,
lie "beefed' like thoroughbred, and de-
manded a better layout
Messrs. Crimmins and Kelly, proprie tors
OF the other ard commonly reputed lesser
faction. have been watching with vigilant
eye every chance to regain their lost pres
tige In the committee. Noting Mills dlsaf-
lection they pouaced on him like pair Of
buZZards and took him bodily into the oppo-
sition camp. In less than an hour COM
pact was sealed. and Mr.. Mills emerged
from the political baptism with new heart
aud new faith-born again, as il were.
A part OF the bargain for the purchase OF
Mr.. Mills affiliation, so one enthusiastic
Crlmmins champion declared last evening.
