A FAMOUS WILL CASE.
Tt Eventually Led to the Passage of an Acs
OF Parliament.

&c Eventually Led to the Passage Of am Act
Of Parliament.
On June 8, 1859, a decision was
given in the house of lords as to who
was the rightful heir to the property
left by the will of Peter Isaac Thel-
lusson, probably the most remarka-
BILE on record. His father, Isaac Thel-
lusson, had been ambassador from
Geneva, in Switzerland, to the court
Of Louis XIV, king of the French.
Peter, who made his abode in Lon
don in the middle of the eighteenth
century, accumulated an immense
fortune, subsequently purchasing the
manor Of Broadsworth in Yorkshire.
He died June 25, 1905, leaving a most
extraordinary will. He bequeathed
&100, 900 to his widow, but directed
that the remainder of his property,
consisting of personality amounting
to $500, 900, besides a landed estate of
the annual value of "a, 500, should ac-
cumulate during the lives of his three
sons, and after their death it was to
be conveyed to the eldest lineal male
descendant of his own three son
Should no heir then exist, the whole
was to be applied by the agency of
the sinking fund to the national debt.
His will caused much public CEN
sure, it being commonly supposed
that his design was the accumula-
ton of a colossal fortune for remote
descendants, in which case, how
ever, his purpose is said to have been
frustrated through the cost of litiga-
ton during 81 years, rendering the
property no larger than it was at his
death. But Il worthier reason for his
peculiar will is overwhelmingly,
that he held mitch property in trust
and desired sufficient time to elapse
for the appearance of just claimants.
However. his will being contested by
the heirs at law, it was firmly estab-
lished by decision of the house of
lords on June IS, 1906. In conse-
quence of this will an act of parlia-
was passed restraining testators
from ueVlslng property Tor purposes
of accumulation for longer than 81
years after their death, any other di-
rection to be void.
T~hellusson's last grandson died in
February, 1856. A dispute then arose
as to whether his Oldest male de-
scendant or the male descendant of
his oldestson was to inherit the prop
erty. On IN appeal to the house of
lords the decision was given in favor
of the latter. This eldest son of Peter
Isaac Thellusson, born Oct. 13, 1761,
had been created Baron Rendlesham,
In the peerage of Ireland, on Feb. 1,
1905: On this decision the accumu-
lated property passed to his descend
ant the present and fifth baron,
Frederick William Brook. Thellus-
son, whose residence is Rendlesham

county he has sat in the house OF

THE STRAIGHT TICKET

II ever party fealty to the entire ticket
was a matter of honor and trust, it is to
Lake county republicans this year. Not
that the ticket will not carry, but that
it will not have the moral weight at the
back OF 1T for future aggressive work and
victory hat it would have if every re-
publican vote was recorded for every re
publican candidate on that ticket. The
great interests at stake in state and
national policy can best be emphasized
and secured by a solid vote for every
part and every individual on the ticket.
The national policy comes directly home
to our judgment and action in the vote
we shall cast for state legislators and in
large measure the welfare Of the state
and its interests are determined by the
same men. But these men are elected
on the same ticket with other county
officers and a vote or work against any
one candidate on that county ticket en-
dangers the success and influence of the
whole. There is no personal dislike or
reason against any individual candidate
on the ticket SO weighty as this, hence
no manly or worthy reason for voting
against any candidate on the ticket. All
are honest and well qualified for the
positions to which they aspire and the
party ticket ought to have the moral and
political weight resulting from every
vote being cast for it throughout. II d
voter cannot do this, he ought to be
manly enough to give his vote and polit-
zeal influence entire to the party with
which he sympathizes. 1t would be
much more honorable and decide much
more effectually on just what political
lines the government, whether state or
national, should be run il each one
would vote solid the party ticket with
which he sympathizes. 1t would put an
end to the frequently ~vacillating policy
OF our representatives in legislative
bodies or state administration. They
would know precisely what twas expect
ed OF them and would do it. The vacil.
lating course OF so many OF the repre-
sentatives OF any party, 10 caused by the
humiliating conditions under which they
put themselves il order to secure an
election, and these conditions are ia
great measure brought about by the
%truculent character OF voters, who, by
boiling or talking against some of their
own party nominees, give the opposition
a club with which 10 coerce other candi
dates on the same ticket in order to se
' cure their election. The inference of I
candidate on O ticket when he hears /
man OF his own party working against
another candidate on the same ticket
with him, is that the bolter may PLAY
traitor to him also, so he has TO make ur
for the probable loss by concessions else
where, even against his better manhood
IL he would have his party win, and thu
party honor and integrity IL lowered. 81
much superior IL the republican tickle
in Lake county this year that no loya

republican, can do aught but work an,

The morning call., 1894-09-07

concluded this morning with the termina-
ton OF the examination of Lieutenant
Colonel Juan Cienfuegos, who was on the
rtand when the hearing was adjourned
last night. The attorneys for Salvador
will. no doubt, make another effort to hav Q
the hearing held open until they can re-
ceive more dispositions from Salvador,
which, they have been informed, are on
the way. Last night they stated they were
on the steamer San Bias, which they ex-
pect to arrive here tomorrow afternoon.
When they made their first effort TO have
Judge Morrow hold the case open for tGis
testimony Mr.. Pierson confessed that he
did not know what the depnstions con-
tained, but had received a cable that the
testimony was important. The Judge de-
cided at that time that he would have to
have q more definite showing in the face of
the opposition of the defense before he
could allow an adjournment of the case.

fuegos were on the stand yes eruay in the
order named, and their testimony as TO the
stirring scenes through which they passed
from the beginning of the revolution to
the flight was listened TO with much eager
ness. The stream of evidence was inter-
rupted hardly at all by objection nd tn e
stories of some of the most tragic occur =
rences were heard for the first time from
the lips OF the principal actors. From the
29th of April, when the revolt against
Carlos Ezpta was inauguraied, until the
afternoon Of June 6 last, when seventeen
refugees hurried aboard the Bennington to
save their lives, not day passed but there
was battle or skirmish or startling Incl
dent. The land was full of bloodshed from
end to end and life was as cheap as dirt.
The stories told by the prisoners on the

witness-stand corroborated each other In
every instance and fatty contradicted in
definite allegations in the depositions pre-
sented. Each one Of the fugitives told his
story straight and without the least sign of
confusion, although the attorneys for San
Salvador kept more than a close watch on
geography and the times in which dis
tances could be covered. But never, even
for an instant during the entire day, did
they succeed in even ruffiing in the slight
est the bearing of any one of the four.
The courtroom was packed during all the
day, the attendance of ladies being much
larger than on the preceding days. The
testimony, although gone over previously
in general way by others, seemed to in
terest the spectators, and places once So
cured in the room were held with ten
acity worthy of even a greater cause.
General EZeta seemed to be in the height
of spirits during the entire day. He paid
strict attention to the words that fell from
the lips of his mpanions-in-2rms, ana
more than once smiled at some Of their de-
scriptions. His good humor was some

BANCROFT'S ANSWER.
He Says There Was No Conspiracy
to Defraud Stone,

An answer was filed in the Superior Court
yesterday by the defendants ia the suit OF N j.
Stone against Ii. II. Bancroft ct al. In this
suit Stone asked for a restraining order OF court
10 prevent the defendants, who are the direct
ors of the History Company, from selling his
stock under a delinquent assessment, and he
also charged that be had been made the victim
of a conspiracy by Bancroft and the others
In the answer IL is denied that II. Ii. Ban
croft had sole charge Of the management OF the
affairs OF The company, or That the other de-
PENDANTS. got their stock from him 10 aid any
alleged conspiracy. There were no dummy
directors and no conspiracy.
H. ii. Bancroft, as one OF the defendants,
SAYS he has no information of The fact of be-
coming angry with Stone and being his bitter
enemy. Nearly all the other allegations in
Stones compaint are denied, but certain ad-
missions are made regarding the assessment
1t is claimed that II. Ii. Bancroft turned
over his books and publications TO the History
Company for the sum OF $57,474 OF this
$36,275 was paid and the last assessment had
been levied in order 10 get funds TO pay OF tho
balance. The assessment was proper in every
way in order 10 get funds TO settle this Indebt-
edDess. There was no fraud and no conspir.
acy, but the business of the company had TO be
carried on. The History Company has no
available assets just now in excess OF $500
and means are required 10 carry on the busi-
ness. 1t is asked that the Injunction be dis
solved ana the assessment declared valid.
