HENRY MARTINS WILL.
His Sister-in-Law Has Discovered a
New Testament.

Mrs. John Martin of Weaverville, Trim
ity County. filed petition yesterday
against the purported will of Henry Mar
tin, who died in San Francisco last Febru-
airy.
On March 20 ex-Mayor E. B. Pond filed
what purported TO be Martins last will as
Martins executor. In this will Mrs. May
E. Martin, widow of testator, was APP
pointed sole heir. The will was dated May
16, $780, and was admitted TO probate April
IA, 1898.
But Mrs. John Martin. sister-in-law to
decedent claims TO have found an other
will dated February %. 1S93-onlv tour
days previous to testator's death. By this
will petitioners infant son is given one
third of the estate, one-third goes to the
widow and the remaining One-third is be-
queathed lin equal portions to testator's
brother and sister
Petitioner, therefore, seeks to upset the
former will and establish the latter one in
the interests of her son. What adds inter-
est to the case is the petitioners statement
that the first will was forgery. and that
she means to fight her case out to the bitter
end.
AS to the new will itself. it is very short
and very badly written. But it is clear
enough in its import. The will bears DC
signature of witnesses, but is Photographic.

making off with pan of nice fat
chickens from one ofathe stalls. No one
else seemed to notice the villain, and the
Prince, being, of course, the soul of
honor, would have scorned to lend his aid
to letting thief get away. So he set
down his cup and Immediately gave chase.
| The thief ran out of the market toward
the corn hall, and by this time the madchen
in charge of the chicken stall had dis
covered her loss. Seeing the Prince run
ming she actually had the audacity to mis-
take his HRhness for the thief and put
after him very strong, doncher know.
She reached him, grasped the sleeve of his
tunic and demanded her chickens. His
HighneSs cried out that he had none OF
her chickens. but that yonder fed the
thlef, having two. 'Ach! cried the

"'Gott in himmel!' cried the madchen,

and with that she gave vent TO a whistle

Prlnce's very marrow. BY that time he

whistle, even though he could not see, and
he whlstled with her so loudly and shrilly
that the whole marketplace was alarmed
and the thief was fam to drop his plumber,
dOncher know, and sneak off in the crowd.
The madchen received back her chick

up led him off, for without the pince

interesting adventure. but the stirring part

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PRINCE.
Story Told by Son of the Republic.

Yes" the stout gentleman was saying,
America is the only country worth living
in. There's the conductor, now-he'S
collecting fares and punching tickets to-
day; tomorrow he may be one of the
directors of the road. Our large oppor-
tunfties. our excellent public schools. our
democratic institutions, all help to keep
American thought and feeling what 1t
should be- We have, for instance, none Of
that tuft-nunting, toadying spirit one sees
so much Of abroad. Our young men know
that it's the man and not the station that's
regarded here"
His companion-an Englishman, ap-
parently-listened admiringly, and MUIR
INJURED his appreciation of the country
where such admirable conditions prevail,
and having heard this much, again be-
came interested in my book and lost the
rest Of the conversation.

drawiug-room car, bits of talk constantly

THE NEW CANTOR.
Approved by the Temple Emanuel
Congregation.

A new cantor. Rev. A. Grodsky, offici.
ated at the Temple Emanuel, Suffer
street, yesterday. Mr.. Grodsky is pos
sessed of a full, round barytone voice ca
pable Of considerable execution. In the
declamatory passages of the music espe-
cially he showed marked dramatic power
of Interpretation, and his enumeration was
perfectly clear in spite Of slight foreign
accent.
Reading is generally ACKNOWLEDGED to be
more fatguing to the voice than singing
During part Of the service Yesterday Mr.
Grodsky did good deal Of both with little
intermsson. TO say that toward the end
his voice showed the strain Is no reproach
to his method. His school is an excellent
one-indeed it is rare to meet with voice
so full and round and yet so devoid Of
"throaLiness."
The new cantor is only at Temple
Emanuel on probation at present, but to
judge from the expressions of the large
congregation as iJ left the temple yesterday
there isfevery possibility of Mr.. Grodsky's
position becoming permanent one.

II ths Council Grants Petitions for the
franchises

II thu Council Grants Petitions for the
franchises
The JOINT committee on streets and
ordinances met ID the city ball yester-
day 10 consider the petition OF the
street railway company to change cer-
tain lines In the city, and extend the
lines on North College avenue and
on Madison avenue to Burton avenue.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
Thursday night At the committee meet
ing, and the arguments were taken up
where they were dropped At that time.
The aldermen wish the street railway
company To surrender the clause OF the
franchise which allows 1t 10 pave be-
tween is rails as the management
wishes. Mr.. Chapman reviewed his
offer 10 pave between the rails on all
paved streets with Medina blocks. lie
also said he would allow concrete to
be used on streets paved with asphalt.
One of the aldermen thought the COM
pany should give up one of its tracks
on Canal street, but Mr.. Chapman ex-
planned that mortgage was gwen to
secure the holders of bonds of the
company, and il those two tracks were
removed it would impair the security.
The bondholders would not allow such
. thing TO be- done. The committee
came TO no CONCLUSION, and will ask for
another weeks time.
