SUTHERLAND WILL CASE SETTLED
BIZ Gable 10 the United Press.


LONDON, June Z, 1S94-The Sutherland
will case was settled in the High Court OF
Justice this morning without trial. The
action was brought by the Dowager Duchess
Of Sutherland to have declared valid the
viii and codicil made by her late husband
by the terms OF which she was to be benefited
to the extent of g1,000,000 The present
Duke of Sutherland, the plaintiffs stepson,
opposed the will on the ground
that the Dowager Duchess had
prejudiced her husbands mind
against his children in order to obtain
possession OF his property. The court room
was crowded this morning, principally with
women, who expected that the trial would
abound with sensations. When the court
was called to order the opposing lawyers an
nounced their belief that they could, after
consultation, settle the case out of court. A
conference was accordingly had, and, after
discussing the matter about an hour the law
yers informed the Court that settlement had
been arrived at The terms of the settle
ment were not stated except that the will
and codicil propounded by the Dowager
Duchess would not be opposed and all pleas
would be withdrawn It was further stated
that the Dowager Duchess would retire from
the administration of the estate and only
the Duke would have any further interest in
realizing upon the residuary estate.
1t is learned that the settlement gives the
Dowager Duchess $500, 1000, besides an an
nuity of 95,000 The Duchess claimed e1,-

and although the energetic Sixth District
| Citizens Association has secured many I'M

more tain anxious to do So The most sought
for and desired Improvement to the district
is better streets The first step in this direc-

cided to pave Ocean avenue, and while the
paving Of the main thoroughfare is highly
pleasing to the taxpayers they are by no
means contented AT present there are but
twos reefs in the section that are paved,
namely, Danforth avenue from the Central
Railroad station to Old Bergen Road a dis

the block between Ocean avenue and Old

would like to see Danforth avenue paved to

John Morreu and William Zimmermann

STORY OF A CAMPAIGN.
Congress Appealed 80 by an Oppos-
Ing Candidate.

WASHINGTON, June Z, Representa-
tive john c. Houck of the Second District of
Tennessee. yesterday introduced in the
House an innocent looking private bill
which, it is said, is not half so innocent as
as it looks. The bill in question is to
perfect the military record of Henry
r. Gibson of Tennessee, and calls upon the
Secretary of War to furnish the war
records of Mr.. Gibson. Messrs. Houck and
Gibson are both Republican candidates for
Congress from the Second district AT the
recent primaries Mr. Gibson was declared
the nominee, but fraud was alleged, resulting
in this casting out of votes of both aspirants,
but the numOer Of fraudulent ballots Ior Mr..
Gibson, it was claimed, so far exceeded those
of Mr. Houck that the Republican Com
mittee of that district declared Mr..
Houck the regular nominee Mr.. Glib
son declined to abide by this decision
and has announced his intention to run
against Mr.. Houck. The latter has gathered
campaign material against his opponent, and
among other things states that DR.. Gibson
is not Grand Army man and volunteer
captain, as Gibson claims, but was only
sutler's clerk during the war. This fact Mr..
Rouck desires to bring before the public i4
official form, and makes use of his positioH
as a member of Congress to bring the matte8
up in the House.

WEST BERGEN SECTION.

The West Bergen section is in such an un-
improved condition that the new board
would have it's hands full if it attempted to
give the property owners all they ask for.
There is not even one paved street there, nor
are there enough street lamps. The most
anxiously awaited improvement is the pro-
posed West Side sewer. There is not even
one sewer in the section at present, and as
the property owners are willing to pay for
one the board W ould make itself popular by
providing for system of drainage.
Another matter that the West Bergen
residents would like to have looked into
is the low bridge of the N &5 N. Y. R, r.
over West Side avenues. This bridge is SO
low that wagons cannot pass under it, and
the residents either want it raised or the
grade lowered. Another nuisance that the
property owners hope will be abated is the
pond nuisance Oh Hatch and Yale ave-
nues are number of ill-smelling, disease
breeding ponds which have been formed by
rain water and sewage. These ponds endan-
ger the health of the residents and they
want to have them filled in.
The marvellous success of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is based upon the corner stone of alb
solute merit. Take Hoods throughout the
spring months.
