MURPHY's MONEY IN DISPUTE.
A Will Contest That Promises Sensa.
tiOnalism.

There is to be another Murphy will case
at San Francisco, and 1t promises to rival
in bitterness and sensational domestic rev.
Citations the one recently decided in Oak
land.
This time 1t is the will Of Marquis Eugene
K. L. Murphy, brother Of Daniel T. Muir
ply, Lady Charles Wolesly, Senior Domin-
guez and the Misses Fanny and Isabelle
Murphy, which is to be contested. His
widow, who lives with her parents in Phil
adelphia, is to bring contest. and she will
charge that he was insane.
Eugene Murphy was the eldest son of the
late Daniel Murphy of Murphy. Grant &
Co., the great dry goods house. From his
father he inherited the title of marquis and
quite large fortune. Under the Oakland
decision he was to come in for one-seventh
of his mothers estate. Since that decision,
however, he died. leaving widow and three
chiliren. The deceased beQueathed his en-
tire estate and personal property to his
three children, to be held in trust by his at
torney and his brother Daniel To the
widow he left only the household effects,
appending clause stating that she is en-
dowed with ample fortune of her own. Ma
RE B. Murphy has notified the courts mere
of her intention to contest the will. When
the will is to be filed for probate no one

WILL IMMIGRATION CEAsEs
Representative McGann Predicts q
Turn to the Tide.


Representative McGann. chairman of the
labor committee. predicts that a turn In
the tide Of immigration is not far of. and
that when it comes 1t will offer the solu-
ton to the depressed condition Of Ameri-
can labor now existing.
The tide Of immigration has been stead
fly toward the United States for years."
said Mr.. McGann, until the labor market
of Europe is being SO drained that the COM
mercial classes are awake to the necessity
Of keeping their labor at home. Further
more the leading men of Germany. France
and Great Britain place the labor question
foremost among the great national ques-
lions. while in this country the public man
who seeks to advance the cause Of labor is
set down as demagogue. Bismarck and
King William are urging reforms to amel-
iorate the condition of labor. In France
labor Is recognized by the government to
the extent of establishing public bureaus OF
labor, similar to our intelligence ofhces.
where employers can secure men and men
can secure work. In England they are
twenty-five years ahead of US in lending
government assistance to labor. There are
two half-holidays each week, Wedn esday
and Saturday afternoons. during WHICH IL
is Illegal to keep men at work Public halls
are provided for the meetings Of working
men. Public parks are designated where
they may spend their half holidays. Pre-
mier Rosebery is following Gladstone In
aiding toward the better condition of labor
And while European countries are thus
bending every energy toward helping labor,
the United States is standing STILL We are
already far behind our foreign neighbors
and while they are going ahead we are go
ing backward. This cannot but be recog-
nized by labor before long, and it will sure
ly result in turning the tide of immigration
away from the United States"

A Rtu Prepared to Limit the Power OF
Courts Over Railroads.

Courts Over Railroads.
Representative Terry Of Arkansas, who,
with Representatives Boatner. and W. A.
Stone. has been investigating Judge Jen-
kins' anti-strike injunctions. has prepared a
bill designed to reform the practice by
which federal courts are practically engag-
ing In the railroad business, through the ap-
pointment of receivers. Most Of the subsidy
roads of the west are in the hands Of re-
ceivers appointed by the federal courts
The courts thus secure absolute authority
over railroads, and as the receiverships run
from year to year, the courts succeed the
railroad officials in conducting the business
Of the road.
Mr.. Terry's bill will attempt to put q
limit to these railroad receiverships, in or
der to avoid the charge that the courts are
going into the railroad business. It is said
that not only is the time of the federal
courts consumed and their functions divert
ed by this practice. but many incidental
abuses have sprung up. One of these Is the
practice Of cutting Off all current debts for
supplies, la Dor. &c, order that the receivers
may pay all the income of the road to the
first mortgage bondholders. The latter
usually apply for the appointment Of re-
ceivers. and when the latter are appointed
they cut of all debts save those 10 the
bondholders. Judge Caldwell of the United
States circuit bench has recognized
this abuse, and in appointing a receiver for
railroad attached the condition that the
receiver should pay debts due from the
railroad for work, labor, materials, ma
chinery, fixtures and supplies Of every kind
including damages to persons or property,
which accrued after the execution of the
mortgage under which the receiver was ap-
pointed. Mr.. Terry's bill will seek to In
corporate Judge Caldwells ruling into per-
manent statute law.

ARMOR PLATE FRAUDS.
Beginning the investigation at Home
stead.


Five witnesses were heard yesterday by
the armor plate investigating commission
at Homestead. Pa T. F. Van Kirk and
workman in the mill named Kirkland ap-
peared for the informers. and three en-
ployes at the works for the Carnegie Steel
Company. There was a scene. 1t is re-
ported. when Attorney ]. K. Wallace asked
to have ex-Burgess John McLuckie Of
Homestead testify.
AS McLuckie never worked in the armor
plate mill and his evidence has already
been presented in the form of an affidavit.
the commission refused to have him ap-
pear. 1t is claimed by the informers that
the present inquiry may result IN a con-
gressional investigation.
Yesterdays inquiry began at IL O'Clock
and ended at 4. The naval officers are GO
ing over the ground thoroughly. McLuck-
les evidence, as presented in writing, is
said to be a report only Of stories he had
heard, and not what he actually knew. AS
a result it was decided at the start OF the
investigation to side-track Mr.. McLuckie.
1t is also said that upon the result of
this investigation the continuance of the
governments contract with the company
depends. With the exception of four plates
all the work under the old contracts has
been done. But little work has been done
under the rev contracts. This has con-
sisted of SPONSOR plates and others which
need not be Harveyized. Although the
Harveyizing furnaces have been completed
for eight weeks, only one test plate for the
government has been finished in them.
The company has not yet begun to ship
Harveyized plates No reason is assigned
by the company officials for this halt in
a-mor production.
Lieutenant Holcomb of the United States
navy has received orders to remain al
Homestead until further notice. He has
been there for one month, and is acting as
supervisor of the governments inspecting
forces at the mill. Since his arrival two
additional night inspectors have been
placed on duty.
Superintendent c. NJ. Schwab has thus
far taken no part In the inquiry. The COM
mission expects to call on Mr.. Schwab fol-
statement. however. to learn what he
had to do with the alleged frauds Milliard
Hunsicker was the only Carnegie represen.
tative at yesterdays session. All the wit
nesses in the investigation are sworn. Two

pany, the other for the government The

Digestive Action of Vinegar.

A health writer, discussing the effects Of
vinegar on digestion, says: 1.-The micros-
copists have discovered that the eels of
vinegar sometimes take up their abode in
the alimentary canal as parasites. and be-
come a source OF irritation and disturbance
to the digestive organs. And now, accord
ing to Virchow's archive3, they have been
investigating the influence of acids upon
salivary digestion, or the conversion of
starch into sugar. and the fact has appeared
that acetic aid. connected with tartaric
and oxalic acids, very materially binders
this portion of the digestive process.
1T is worthy OF note. as being in the line
of scientific progress, that many Of the most
skillful chefs are substituting. in their
culinary processes, lemon juice for vinegar.
