whether there are any vessels ashore near
there. The steamer Lillis of the Plymouth

Wife. Though He rs Alive.

The will of Mrs. Mary F. Wight, the wife
of Captain Andrew j. Wright, was pre-
sented to the Surrogate about two weeks ago
for probate. A caveat was filed by Captain
Wight, but since then the Captain has with
drawn it and has decided not to make any
contest for the possession of the estate which
amounts to about Sc, 600 in real estate, and
$500 personal property
This will beQueathed the entire estate to
Clara II. Sulk, an adopted daughter, who
had been generally known as Clara H.
Wight. The grounds upon which Captain
Wight proposed to contest the will was that
the legatee was not legally adopted child.
Captain Wight was for many years engaged
in the transportation business, and when he
became financially embarrassed he trans

from his home on Academy street to Perth
Amboy soon afterward and there his wife
died. The Captain is himself an invalid,
