CONTEST OVER A wOMAN's WILL.

SOME CURIOUS CONVENTIONS IN THE COURSE OF
THE ARGUMENT.
In the General Term of the Supreme Court yes
,srday Chief Justice Van Brunt and Judges Foett
and Parker heard argument the appeal from
the decision of Surrogate Arnold the probate Of
The will OF Mrs Mary L. McIarney. wife Of James
T McI.arney formerly sexton of the Roman Cath
olic Church of ST. Dominck, at Sixty-ifth-st. and
Lexington-ave.
Mrs McLarney was twice married. the first time
in 1877 10 Edward F. Brophy. She executed her
will on July %. 1854. while Brophy was alive. He
she indOrsed the Will revocation OF its pro-
visions on October ;, 1894, she was married 10
McLarney and two months later she died. She left
no children
On Nav 1s last ex-Dock Commissioner James J.
Phelan as executor of the will filed IL in the Sur
rogate's Court. McIarney then petitioned the Sur
rogate 10 appoint him administrator of his wife's
estate, and secured order staying the proceed
ings which Mr.. Phelan had instituted for the pro-
batting OF the 1884 will. The estate is valued at
$4,000
Upon the argument the Surrogate vacated the
order issued McLarney, and on June % the will
admitted TO probate.
McLarneys appeal. heard yesterday, was In effect
that the revokng OF the will made IL void and that
the Surrogate erred in admitting 1t 10 probate.
In the course OF the argument II was urged that
married woman had right TO make a Will, that
revised statutes of 1880 took away even her
equitable rights. and that the will OF an unmarried
woman revoked by her subsequent marriage.
The act OF 1s4s, IL was contended. while removing
many Of these disabilities did not empower mar
ried woman 10 make will.
Decision reserved.

Of last week-and several OF them have been quite
severe-the men have been debarred from using
their overcoats merely because no orders or IN
