SHE DIVIDES THE SPOIL.

Mrs. Parneil Formerly Mrs. OShea, Will
share Mrs. Woods Estate with Seven
Others-The AFFAIR Settled by Family
Agreement to Avoid Scandal.
LONDON. March 25 The hearing of the
Wood will case came up before Justice
,Jeune in the probate division of her
lmajesty's high court of justice. Mrs.
Wood, the testatrix, died some years
ago, leaving a fortune of about
81. 600, 900 to her niece, then Mrs.
'O'Shea, but now the widow of Charles
Stewart Parnell. The other nieces and
- nephew, Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood,
brought suit to have the will set aside,
alleging that undue influence had been
used upon Mrs. Wood to get her to
make her will in Mrs Parnelrs favor.
After Justice Jeune had taken his
seat upon the bench and the court
was formally declared open, Sir
Charles Russell, counsel for Mrs.
Parnell, who, by the popularity
of English law, was the plain
tiff in the case, she being the
party desirous of proving the will,
announced that the case had been set
tied by family arrangement. The
terms of the settlement have not been
made public, but it is believed that
Mrs. Parnell, to whom every thing was
left absolutely, has consented to relin-
quish to the seven claimants n consid-
cradle share of her inheritance.

noted in his condition. He seemed

Whitman died poor, having only his
residence library and copyright as his
worldly possessions.
In December last Mr.. Whitman
agreed with his attending physician to
allow them to perform an autopsy upon
him after his death. He did this in
view of the number of remarkable i'll
nesses which he had survived and in
the interest of medical science. The
| autopsy disclosed the fact that the poet
had died with his organs in a state
of disease that should by all laws OF
medicine have killed him years ago.
| His left lung was entirely gone, while
| of the right there was but d breathing
spot. The heart was surrounded by a
| large number of small assesses,
and about two and half quarts OF
water. The pain in the left side, that
had been diagnosed by some physicians
as an internal cancer, was found to
have been caused by peritonitis The
brain was found to be abnormally
large and in n fairly healthy condition.
