her to the police Office, where it was
discovered that the unfortunate person
was suffering from alteration of mind.
She believed herself to be in San Fran

her and accused two men of having alb

While at the station she aimlessly
played with string to amuse
herself, as she said, but as they
came in she recognized every
officer entering the station as "inon-

Angeles. After some inquiries her name
was learned to be Mrs. Flahaut, having
her residence somewhere on Alameda

she was removed to her home in a

CONVICTED OF EXTORTlON.
Allegheny City's Mayer Found Guilty Of
Charges That Nay Send Him to Prison.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 11--ThIs morning the
grand jury in the extortion case against
Mayor James A. Wyman. of Allegheny City.
brought In verdict of guilty in the first
and second counts of the Indictment. The
verdict was reached late last night, but
was not announced until the opening of
court this morning. When it was read
Mayor Wyman became deathly pale and
was taken to a seat by his friends. When
he recovered he had nothing to say.
The penalty for extortion on each count is
$50 fine and one years imprisonment, or
both, at the discretion of the court. The
court also orders his removal from office as
part OF the punishment.
The verdict caused sensation generally
In the courtroom. There were q number
of Allegheny office holders there and when
they heard that their official head had
becp found guilty many felt uneasy and
said so. Ex-Mayor Richard L. Pearson,
who was present with ex-Chief Klrsohler.
was almost as greatly affected as Mayor
Wyman. for the commonwealth claims that
the evidence against the ex-MayOr is ex-
actly similar in character to that which
convicted Mr. Wyman. There Is charge
OF embezzlemenn still pending against the
latter.
At the conclusion of Mayor Wyman's
trial the case against ex-Mayor Richard L.
Pearson. of Allegheny, for embezzlement
was taken mp 1t is alleged that Pearson;
and converted il to his own use. The prin-
cipal witness called was the Mayors clerk.
The prosecution relied upon his testimony
to establish their case. but IL wa conceded
that he was more valuable to the defense.
He testified that the money was paid TO the
officers to whom it belonged as fees and
that in no case did any Of 1t pass into the
hands of the Mayor.

1t Is Practically Decided to Make Him Presi-
dent of the New York Life.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE managers and
general agents of the New York Life In
surance Company met at the office of the
company to-day. A meeting of the mana
gers and agents was held subsequent to
the meeting of the directors on Wednes-
day evening. at which time a committee
was appointed to recommend what steps.
If any. they ought to take. The committee
consisted of George w. Perkins, of Chica-
go; l.. A. Cert, of San Francisco, and d. +.
Kingsley, of Boston. One of those present
says that the committee reported but that
the proceedings were not of IN oment to the
public. The report of the committee, it
was learned from another source, was. in
brief, favorable to Mr. John A. Mccall 1t
was also said that the agents particularly
were friendly toward MIR. Beers, and were
anxious to hold him, although they felt
bound to abide by the selection of the
trustees. 1t was said that Mr.. Mccall had
notified the directors that he conld not ac-
cept the presidency of the company. unless
ex-President Beers ceases to have any con-
nection with the management. and he also
makes q condition that he be presented
with the resignation of all the present
directors of the company. This is said to
mean that Mr. Mccall Is determined to be
boss of the situation. and he every thing
the name president implies. 1t was learned
later that a subsequent and second session
was held, at which IL soon became manifest
that all opposition to Mr.. Mccall had dis
appeared. and that his election tomorrow
Is practically a fOregone conclusion. This
being the feelin of the meeting. William

of Dir. Beers. moved that Mr.. Mccall he

ance Company. The vote to that effect was
unanimous.

WISE COURT DECISION.
Judge Reynolds Unties 10000 Benton County
Acres Which Millionaire Fowler Owned.
srec,sl N The Indianapolis JouruaI.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 11.-Considerable
interest has been taken here in the de-
cision of Judge Reynolds. of the White
county Circuit Court before whom had
come the question of constituting the will of
tho late Moses Fowler, Lafay ette's dead
millionaire. By the terms of his Will, Mr..
Fowler left his property to his three chill
dren. after the widows third bad been
taken out. But he placed q restriction on
it, as follows:
give the remaining undivided two-tnirds to
my three children, James NJ. Fowler, Annis
Chase and Ophelia NJ Fowler. share and share
alike, and to their respective heirs forever, sub
ject TO the following conditions:
In the event or the death OF any OF my children
without lawful Issue, the shares OF such child
shall become the absolute property, in equal por
tons TO the living children. the descendants OF
share which would have vested In their mother
or father.
No part of the real estate situated in Benton
county, and which by this item OF my will is de-
yised 10 my three children, as Aforesaid, or any
interest therein, shall be sold or alienated by my
said children, or any OF them or their heirs, for
the period or twenty-five years from anu after
the date of the execution OF this. my will i'm
pose this restriction because, in my judgment,
saia real estate; ate properly managed and cult h,
drcn can have.
The will bears date of July "a, 1885,. Mrs.
Ophelia Dumhe, of Cincinnati, youngest
daughter of the deceased banker, brought
suirin White county for construction of
the will of her father. The last clause
quoted above tied MP in Benton county
over ten thousand acres of land. Judge
Reynolds. after careful consideration, de-
cided that the first clause gave to the sew
eral children the land In fee simple. and,
this being the case. the second clause,
which sought TO impose restriction upon
the use or saio of the lands in question,
was void. This decisIon will be hailed
with great delight by the residents of Ben-
ton county. who have long prayed that the
thousands of acres there should be by court
permitted to be divided among the chill
dren and by them placed upon the market,
thus bringing in large number of land
owners, increasing the population and
adding to the value of the adjoining lands.

Democratic Lies About the Postmaster Gem
erai Shown to Have No Foundation.
Special TO the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-This has been
another one Of Postmaster-genersI Wana-
makers days for falling into tho high carni-
val OF Democratic liars. The lies have
mostly related his alleged retirement from
the Cabinet. announced, probably. for the
twentieth time. "on credible authority"
The reasons for this certain" retirement
are probably moro amusing now than ever
before. One alleged reason was that Mr..
Wanamaker had cut down the pay of the
small postmasters. thing which Is regu-
lated by law, and with which he has no
more to do than the wife of the man in the
moon. Another alleged reason was that be
had discontinued too many country post
offices to suit the President, when the records
of the department show that never before
in the history of the service have so many
needed postoffices. petitioned for by patrons
of the mails. been estabii shed. A third
reason" why the general was
to retire was that he mnst make

In that position. Still another alleged rea-
son why the President was determined to

Jay Gould, who Is opposed to the postal
telegraph, which Postmaster-generalW Wan

into camp and had done violence to the In

the Postmaster generals fight for Q postal

even stated on Eooa sntho I,1tt. Iity

or employment of people by ,he govern
ment would be involved, would not only

but source of additional revenue to the

1t may not please the carnival Of Demo.
cratic liars to know il, but the President
and the members of his Cabinet, especially
