the chairman OF the citizens committee might
have a government band detailed for duty on
the day of the parade. Mr.. Carmody sug-
gested that the Fourth Artillery was PAID
government band and was not allowed TO
make any contract with outside organiza-
tions. Gen. Duncan S. Walker also enpna-
sized what Gen. Carnahan had said concern
ing the band.
Secretary Emmons said this band was In
tended for the Washington division, and
suggested that the Secretary OF War be asked
to detail band for that purpose.
After more discussion Of the same char
acter by Messrs. Yost, Goodhart, Mitchell and
Heislev, it was agreed that the committee
should advertise for proposals for furnishing
music for the day OF parade and also for the
prize drill the committee reserving the right
to reject all bids.
In order that there should be no misunder-
standing. Mr.. Edison had read the regulation
governing the making of contracts by the
subcommittee, which says no contracts shall
be closed unless approved by the chairman Of
the citizens committee.
MIR. Goodhart read a letter from the Com
missioners, saying permission would not be
given for the erection of review stands more
than % feet on the sidewalk. This matter
was referred to the stand committee.
in reply to a question from Mr.. Brown. Mr..
Mitchell, OF the public comfort committee,
said very few applications for quarters had
been received. 1t was agreed that Mr.. Brown
should issue circulars to the lodges, asking
how many members of each lodge would
want quarters, and that reply be sent in as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Goodhart said contract had been
awarded Mr.. J. W. Cronie for furnishing
cots and blankets. This contract was
referred to the committee on camp and camp
grounds. After appointing c. B. Domer. who

POSED AS MRS. COLE.
Witnesses to a Contested Will Declare
That They Were Deceived bya
Bogus TestatOr


The suit now pending before Judge Cole, In
criminal court No. q to set aside the will Of
Maria Cole, who died in October l, 1891. is
likely to cause criminal suits to arise.
The suit was brought by William Brown
and others against the legatees. The will
was proDated shortly after Mrs. Coles death,
and the property disposed OF amounted to
$500. 900. 1t comprises almost the entire
square known as No. 7S3. fronting on Mary
land avenue, Stanton park, Third and c
streets northeast. The heirs by the will are
jackson s. Cole, husband of the deceased;
Mrs Jane Tolson and Mrs. Jennie Lewis, rela-
tives of her former husband.
Mrs Cole was the wife OF Robert F. Mills.
and il was through him that she acquired her
property Mrs. Cole was woman weighing
800 pounds. and in 1887 she fell in the Center
market and broke her arm. From that time
till her death she was partially paralyzed. The
will was drawn up by S. ]. Fague and wit
messed by H. Schaeffer and A. Hall. The Inst
| two testified that each was taken separately
into a room and supposedly introduced to
Mrs. Cole and signed as witness.
II was shown yesterday by the evidence
that the person TO whom they were intro
| duced us Mrs. Cole was some one else. Mrs.
Walker. who nursed Mrs Cole until the time
| OF her death, was an important witness. She
| testified that Fague often called at Mrs. Cole 8
| house while she was very i'll to consult with
her husband. These visits always threw Mrs.
| Cole into passion, and she used to send
her nurse to tell Fague to go away, and de-
clared that he and her husband were in
| league to defraud her. Witness said that
Mrs. Cole never to her knowledge made a
will. and especially at the time on which the
| will is dated.
Policeman John B. Hinkle testified as to
Mrs. Coles injuries and her inability to sign
| a will. The case is still on trial.

HOAR AS A BLOCKADER.

President and Congress ANNOYED Over the
Obsrinacy of the Massachusetts Senator.
Senator Hoars action in refusing to allow
the passage OF the usual joint resolution pro-
viding for the continuance OF government ap-
preparations until the new bills are passed is
proving very annoying matter to the Presi-
dent. 1t Is understood that Mr.. Cleveland is
waiting in town simply to sign the resolution.
The Senate will, If the Massachusetts SEN
ator cannot be induced to yield, either have
to allow the suspension of appropriations or
drop the tariff bill to pass the bills already re-
ported.
Senator Cockrell stated yesterday that he
would not advocate the latter course, and that
he proposed to let the whole blame for failure
to extend appropriations fall on Mr.. Hoar's
shoulders.
Senator Hoar. on the other hand, appears
to be very determined in his opposition, and
SAYS he will not withdraw it unless his col
leagues advise it. Such course as Mr.. Hoar
is taking has never before been taken in the
history of tho government.
