City's Favor.
STOCKTON, July 10-The attorneys repre-
senting this city in New York have wired
that the Heazelton will case had been tried
there and resulted in a judgment for the
city of Stockton, which will bring to this
city $4,000 for a free public library and
$1,000 for medals for meritorious pupils of
Stockton's public schools.
liz the early days of Stockton Dr. William
Z, HeaZelton was a dentist here. He in
vested bis savings and became money
lender, Increasing his wealth very fast until
about 1862, when he went East, married
and settled down in New York City. Moth
ing more was heard of him for many years
until he died in April, 1891, at TarrytOwn,
n. Y, leaving will executed in Deeem Der,
1872, in which he made this bequest to
Stockton, the clause reading: Remember
ing with dutiful regard the community
where success first rewarded my efforts in
the accumulation of wealth. and wishing to
bestow a proper mementO of the esteem
with which L have ever regarded those who
were so long my respected neighbOrs and
friends, give and bequeath to the city Of
Stockton, in the State of California, the sum
of seventy-fve thousand G5.O00) dollars in
trust to be used and appropriated as follows.

half the amount be used in the purchase of

room to be under the management Of a
bard of five trustees.
The contest was commenced last October
by the executor to determine whether this
city could legally receive the bequest. 1t IS
believed by City Attorney Levinsky that the
case will not be appealed, as the contestants
claimed that they only wanted Judgment t
OF the lower court 10 decide the payment of
the bequest.
Stockton now has a free library building
with 10000 volumes on the shelves, and

colony here was startled by the report al Z

Waldorf Astor. Scarcely had the news
been given out when it was contradicted
by q bulletin, Issued by DIR. McLagan,

condition, but had revived and was doing
somewhat better. Astor has been i'll at his
London residence. LansdOwne House, since
last Thursday from pneumonia. During
that time he has had the constant attention
of two physicians, and nothing particularly
serious was developed until Saturday morn
ing. when relai Sc came and the patient
began 10 sink so rapidly that serious doubts
as TO his recovery were then entertained
Those members of the family who could ne
reached were summoned to his side and the
end was expected.
The doctors state that Astor's condition
remains extremely critical. but there is hope
OF h;s ultimate recovery. On Wednesday
last Asior went on boating trip and
during the excursion sharp shower came
on and he and other members Of the party
were dre ched. During the evening he felt
chilly, and had violent pains In his back.
On thursday morning he summoned Dr.
MacLagan, the physician to the Princess of
Wales, and the doctor Immediately pro-
nounced it case Of pneumonia MacLagan
renamed with Astor almost withou
intermlssion. but DESPITE his greatest
efforts the patient became rapidly worse
and this evening he became uncons scous.

There was terrible scramble among the
passengers TO get out of the car, which was

Clrary stating that the situation at Home
stead had not i'm rOved. While all was

openly expressed their determination that
the works should not be operated unless by
themselves. The Sheriff, after making all
she efforts in his power, said he had failed
to secure posse strong enough 10 aeon
pish anything, and was satisfied that no
posse raised by the civil authorities could
do anything to change the condition of
affairs, and any attempt by an inadequate
force TO restore law would only result in
further armed resistance and consequent
loss of life. "0nfy a large military force
will enable me- to control matters" He
telegraphed: Il believe If such force were
sent the disorderly element will be over

the Pinkertons will be followed by a battle
more sanguinary, more terrible ana more
decisive than was the first. The workmen
are peTfecting their organization to-day, and
appear to be gaining strength in every way
except with the press, which is resPntful OF
the espionage and restrictions imposed upon
its Representatives. But Hugh O'Dounell is
protecting the newspaper men In every way
from this harrassing interference, and ii is
sale TO say that as long as he Is the dumi-
Bant spirif no more reporters will be or
dered out OF town. The spirit of tOleralion
evinced by ODOnnell is not shared by many
OF the rank and file. Half a dozen newly
arrived newspaper men were to-day
promptly approached by self-c0nstituted
committee aud marched off to head
quarters, where they were forced to
remain an hour or two until they
satisfied the men as TO their identity.
Indeed, there are representatives Of the

i do not think that Governor Pattson
said the militia would be used as guards,
and be is not sending them here for that
purpose. They will be kept, here a few
days, and, when it is seen how peaceable
every thing Is. predict that they will be
withdrawn. Our fight is against the Pinker-
tons. against The Invasion OF our homes by

McGluekie's words are accepted by all as
final and as an indication of the tactics Of
the mllmen. But the men are religiously
relying upon the State Government TO
afford no assistance to the company in the
installation of nOn-union Ia Dor and trusting
that the troops may be speedily withdrawn,

HOMESTEAD, July 10-The most intense
excitement was created here late tonight
by the announcement that the Pennsyl-
vania militia, 5000 strong, had been ordered
out and would arrive at Homestead to-mor-
row. The news was flashed over the wires
to this city at IL :01 p. NJ, aud a few min

incredulity. but a few inquiries among the
press representatives convinced them that

corners and the situation was discussed in
low but earnest tones. The hot-headed
ones were al first disposed to be little de-
fant, and there was an occasional declara-
tiOn that even the militia would be opposed.
But WHEN il was learned that the division
promptly gave way to ''Ohl well, We have
beat the PinkertOns, anyway"
The opinion is freely expressed by the
rank and file that the militia would be re-
eeiEed by no hostile demonstration. and
That an aTmlstlce would be declared until
after their deprI ture.
But they will nave to go away some
time," said the leader OF little group near
the depot. "and when they do we would
like TO see them run the mill with nom
union men,"
The little sentence expresses as fully as
could volumes the situation that will be
ushered in by the advent Of TIE militia.
Z he chief fear of tie leaders now is that
the Carnegie Company will hasten to install
Dna-uniOn workmeD in the mills imme-
diately upon the arrival Of the militia.
AT midnight horrible fear took possess

even sneak in Pinkerton men in the dis
