Sheriff K yle, of Cabell, Brings the Train
Robbers to MOundsville.

Sheriff Il yle, OF OapeA' brihSs tue Irsin
Robbers to Moundsville.
Sheriff Kyle, Of Cabell county, and
four Deputies, yesterday brought three
prisoners to the Safe Prison, at Mounds
Vile. They were Burial &. Forgey
and Thos. Collins, the two train rob-
bers, aud Frank Milirons, convicted OF
horse stealing and sentenced fpr two
years.
Forgey and Collins were sedtenced
for life. 1t was just eighteen daS rs after
the train robbery that they we're safe
" behind prison bars. This is re-
msrkable case Of prompt conviction.
Both men were we'll satisfied with life
sentences, as they fully expected to be
hanged.
Sheriff Kyle and deputies came to
Wheeling last night and registered at
the Behler. The last man was SEN
fenced Friday morning at II o'clock,
and IL was the intention 10 bring the
prisoners up yesterday morning. Rail-
road men gathered In Huntington dur
ing the day, however, and there were
many expressions OF diSApproval. Fear
ing an attempt at lynching, the Judge
ordered the Sheriff to bring the prison
ers nm on the afternoon train. They
left Huntington at 4 o'clock, and were
followed to the depot by large crowd.
The Sheriff heard rumors of trouble
ahead on the Ohio River road,
and decided TO stop over
night at Point Pleasant, and II any
fears were entertained to bring the pris-
oners by way of Columbus and Wheel
ing. and to Moundsyille. He brought
the men up, however, over the Ohio
River road.
Forgey is sullen and protests his en-
tire innocence, while Collins has made
an open confession.

EDISON ESTATE LITIGATION.
Decision Reserved in the Suit TO Es.'
tabiish Two Wills.

Justice Truax, of the Supreme Court,
reserved decision to-day in a suit by the
c~Necutrix of Marmont B. Edison against
the estate of Mary E. Edison to establish
q mutual will executed by Miss Mary in
1881. with her sister, Susan Edison.
The ladies were sisters of Marmont.
They made Wills each giving the other
the greater part OF her estate, making
specific be1uests to charity n a residu-
AIRY provision for the brother.
Susan Edison survived her sister. Just
before her. death sh- made another will,
attempting to dispose of her own es-
tate and that received from the sister,
thereby curtailing Mnrmont's interest.
Susan died, and In a contest by her
brother, her will was sustained and ad-
mitted to probate.
Marmont Edison died after i%nstituting
the proceedings to get his share of the
estate of Zach sister. His widow CON
tinucd the litigation to its present stage.

MILLIONS LEFT DI BECK.
His Fortune Far Greater than
Was Supposed.
Columbis College and Charitable
I%nstitutlons Benenciaries.

1t was learned to-day hat the estate
Of Charles Bathgate Beck. the West
Farms millionaire. who died q week ago,
instead OF being worth two or three
millions, was at least worth fSe. and
after complete inventories had been
made might reach ten millions OF dol
lars.
Mr.. Beck was a man of retiring DISPOSE
ton and led a secluded life. No one
but himself knew the actual amount Of
his property. He had no near relatives
and most of his vast wealth Will go to
benevolent institutions
His most intimate friend was F. J..
Jessup. and he has received a large
legacy. the amount being in the neigh
Jsssup's attorney. Jesse. Grant Roe. Of
100 Broadway, was seen by an Evening
World" reporter this morning, hut he
gard to the beauest to his client. and de-
clined to be interviewed about the
be flec for probate within a few dayp'
Loan nav y FrSst com Gs ,Ye whieS Is
named &C executor. and the attorneys OF
provisions public before 1t Is filed.
The CHIEF be%netciaries, as stated be-
fore, are all charitable institutions, and
include Columbia College. the Board OF
Presbyterian Missions. the Peabody
Home for Old Women. the Home for In
curables, the Society for the Prevention
of Crime, the New York Hospital and
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals.
The amount which will go to each
could not be ascertained. but It liz certain
that they will have some five or six
millions. Of dollars, to divide between
them. A large number of small legacies
are mentioned In the will. but alto
gether. Il Is said. these viii not amount
to a million dollars.
1t was reported after Mr.. Bock's
death that his VII, might he contested
by Mathilda and Charlotte Cortes, who
claimed to be the children OF Alexander
Bathgate. the tes,ator's cousin. 1t was
learned. however, that. they had ac-
cepted a compromise and given n release
In full n long time before Mr.. Beck's
dtath.
The statement Is made. however, on
good authority, that after the will Is
filed there Ia likely to be a lively liti-
CATION over some of the provisions.

ly that 1t looks as though the Rlalto
would soon be impnssabie. Business out
OF town Is reported to be execrable. and
plays that have made handsome profits
other years are scarcely able to pay
their way from town to town. At the
offices Of the dramatic agents one hears
nothing but OF companies returning, and
the names include some attractions hat
went out With hardly u misgiving. OF
course. this does not refer to tandard
attractions that play in the big cities,
1t seems to be the small towns that are
at present disincllned for theatrical re-
taxation. or course. 1t Is all set down
to bad business. but managers are very
much discouraged. They are looking
forward to a change In November. The
closing of the Rosina Nokes company
has caused the widest sort OF dismay.
This. however. is positively due to the
illness of Miss Vokes. When she was
in New York, before starting for the
West, she was In very poor health. She
has worked very hard and very con-
tinuously: Upon her shoulders the whole
burden OF the company rests.
