The contest at law brought by Thomas
h. Young to break the will of his brother
the late James E: Young, begun yesterday
as stated in The Star, was continued to-
day before Judge Cole in Criminal Court
No. l. The death Of the testator occurred
October 49, 1892, and he left an estate val
ued at about $4,000 to William A Young
and John Young, brothers, and Margaret
L. Gaddes, a sister 1t is the claim of the
caveator that his brother was of unsound
mind and eccentric, and that undue infiu-
ence was exercised upon him. as a result
Of which he made the provisions in the will
now contested. Included in the beouests
made was one to the First Presbyterian
Church of this city. Messrs. A. S. Worth
ington and A.. A. Lipscomb represent the
cavetator, while Messrs. Edwards and Bar
nard and Henry Wise Garnett appear for
the beneficiar;es
The first witness today was Leo O'Dowd,
VINO was a near neisbbor of the deceased
Tor years. He declared that in his opinion
James f. Young was insane and related a
number of incidents, many of an amusing
character, TO substantiate the view ex-
pressed.
Louisa Curtis. an old colored woman, for
merly In the employ of the deceased, de-
scribed several queer, actions On the part of
Mr.. Young to the effect that he would sit
IN his pigpen for long period and grunt
and groan; that he would remove all cloth
| ing and leave the house, and that he was in
the habit of discharging firearms at per-
sons in promiscuous manner. No man

would act as did Mr.. Young.
Fairfax H. Taylor, employed at the Ar
lington cemetery. who knew the deceased
during his entire lifetime, expressed the
belief, when called to the stand, that Mr..
Young was of unsound mind. This opinion
was based on continued queer actions and
unseemly conduct on the part Of the dead
man.
septimus Brown, who was an intimate
| friend of Mr.. Young. testified that on one
occasion the latter fired gun at him from
| window without the slightest provoca-
| ton for SO doing. Mary Cffutt, John Offutt

| side near Mr.. Young's place at Arlington
| Va. declared that the deceased was in the
habit of discharging weapons at persons
and acting in other manners that pointe
| to insanity.

The Drought at an End.
Prof Moore, chief Of the weather bureau,
said this morning that rain was falling
throughout the drought region from New
Mexico to New England, and he gave the
welcome Intelligence that the drought was
broken. This one storm may not be suffi-
cent. he says. but from past experience it
is safe to predict that this one will be fol-
lowed by a succession of storms ranging
toward the northeast from tine southwest
at about three day intervals. Experience
has shown that the healing up of general
protracted drought originates in low ba-
romctrical area in the barren region of the
southwest. Such low area now exists in
New Mexico, and Prof. Moore therefore,
feels warranted In making the announce
ment that the drought is at an end.
Range of the Thermometer.
The following were the readings of the
thermometer at the weather bureau today:
