portant occurred in Sevilla. The regular

his interest in his mothers estate to his
sisters, Mrs. 0elrichs and Miss Virginia Fair,
for 100000 and the promise OF a like pay
ment in AprI, 1891.
When the court d'cided that Charles could
not get the $500, 900 bequeathedto his brother
james, because 1t was not payable until 1897
Charles was in Il rat'er bad way. About this
time Charles an his father became recon-
ciled, and the dead Senator both counselled
and assisted his son to contest his mothers
will.
Mrs. Oelrichs thus comes into 81 400 900
and Miss Fair will have an equal fortune
when she is twenty-five, in 1900. They will
have absolute joint ownership of Mrs. Fairs
estate, which is constanR increasing from
its original value of $4,000, 900. 1t has come
