deed of conveyance to her of the improved
property on Tehama street. Hogan. accord
ing to the complaint of his brother and sis
ters, was in no fit mental condition from
pneumonia on February when he made
the deed absolute to his wife.
They charged that she took advantage of
his failing condition and so harassed him
that in his enfeebled state he could not re-
sist her opportunities to make and sign the
papers. They therefore attacked the valid
ity OF the document and urged their claims
as the heirs of the dead man. The widow,
while denying these allegations. affirmed
that the deed was made voluntarily aud in
love and affection.
Yesterday was the time for the trial of the
case and the partiSans of the Hogans and of
the widow were mustered in force in Judge
Hebbard's courtroom. The plaintiffs put
on their witnesses, ana having closed their
case motion for nonsuit was made and
readily granted, Judge Hebbard holding
that there had been total failure to sub
stantiate any Of the averments of undue in
fuence In the making OF the dis puted docu-
ment.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The statement Is
positively made This evening tha: tie Van-

the New England road, and that Mr.. ii.
Nick. Twombley. Vanderbilt's brother-in-

The Traffic Association VIII Fight for a
Reduction.
The Executive Committee of the Traffic
Association met yesterday afternoon, j. b.
Stetson presiding. The session was secret,
as usual, and at its conclusion the mem bers
refused to state what had been done. From
another source 1t was learned that the sub
ject of revising local rates came up for dis
cussion and took up the entire time of the
meeting, even to the exclusion of all other
business.
Several members wanted new schedule
carefully made up and presented to the
Southern Pacific Company, asking that a
substantial reduction in local rates be
granted at once. Others thought this an un-
necessary waste of time and figures, argu-
ing that the matter should go before the
Railroad Commissioners, as this body holds
the power OF regulating rates. 1t was de-
cided definitely that new rate-sheet shall
be made up at once quoting the reduction
desired. but whether it will 60 before the
Railway Commission, the company or the
courts remains to be seen. as this part Of the
programme has not been arranged.

Mahar's first opponent. It took Peter eight
minutes to finish him. An hour later Mar
TIN OHara, six-footer, went against
Maher.. One round was enough for him.
He made claim to the referee that Peter
had hammer in his right glove
by this time Maher had gained quite a
local reputation and efforts were made to
bring about meeting between him and
professional named Jim O'Doherty. They
fought six rounds in Dublin and the police
stopped the bout. but not before O'Doherty
was beaten man. Peter then entered a
tournament In London and beat three men
in the preliminaries. In the finals Bob Hair
met him. They spared three rounds and
Hair was given the decision. Maher had a
decided advantage, and in the judgment of
many spectators il was clear case of rob-
berry.
Probably the greatest feat Maher accom-
plished was in stopping big Lambert in one
round. Lambert is the man who gave Peter
jackson such rough usage in limited con-
test last year.
