come into the office one week and
lay:
"Mr. Dash, here is a pretty pic

Asbury Park, MI. May 14.-Rev. J.
P.Dawson, pastor of the Westminster
Presbyterian church is in receipt of a
letter from Monsignor Satolli acknowl-
iedgng the petition sent by the Christ
ian Endeavor Societies of Ash bury Park
and Ocean Grove, asking for the remov-
al of Rev. FIR. Phelan OF St. Louis, for the
recent utteraDces against the society.
Monsignor Sato1li says he regrets that "A
question of this kind should have arisen,
and after long and careful ssconsidera-
tion of the matter he feels it belongs to
the Rev. Arch bishop of St. Louis, rather
than to him. Mr.. Dawson says he will
send a copy of the petition to the Arch
bishop Of ST. Louis, with copy of Mon
signor Satolli's letter. In case the Arch
bishop pays no attention to the petition

GUESSED SHE WAS ALL RIGHT.
Captain of the Steamer Yarmouth Took no
Pains to Learn the Damage to Vessel
He Had Run Down.

Boston, May adjust before the steamer
Yarmouth sailed roday for Yarmouth, N.
s., Capt. Smith was shown a copy of a
telegram from Gloucester stating that the
fishing schooner rablgzanda was flowed
into that port dismasted as result of
collision Sunday morning ON Cashes nank.
Capt. Smith admitted colliding and was
very much surprised. to hear she was so
seriously damaged. His version of the
affair is as follows: 1--WE had encountered
dense fog while crossing the Bay of
Fundy., which continued Sunday morning.
AT an early hour Sunday fishing vessel
suddenly loomed mp directly in front of US,
and before the steamers headway could be
checked we ran across her bow, carrying
| away, as we supposed only her bowsprit.
There were several other fishing vessels in
the vicinity, and not thinking the vessel
seriously crippled We continued on our
way" Captain Smith says the statement
of the captain of the fishing vessel that the
weather was clear at the time, is absolutely
untrue.

THE FAYERWEATHER WILL.
Colleges Still Fighting Over the Division OF
the Estate.

New York, May 14.-The contest over
the residues of the estate Tof Daniel B.
Fayerweather, in which 90 colleges and
other institutions are interested, was
rendered in the general term of the Su-
preme Court here today on an appeal
from the decision of Judge True rend-
cred last December. Under the provis-
ions of the will the executors. it is
claimed, were empowered to divide the
residue of the estate among some 30
institutions mentioned in the 90th clause
of the instrument, but under the codi-
Gil executed on the day of Fayerweath-
power was given them to dispose of the
fund. With this understanding, the ex-
ecutors executed deed of gift, dividing
the money as follows: To Woman's
hospital, $500, 900; Yale College, $780,
600; Princeton, $500, 600; CoIum bia Col
lege, $500, 600; Harvard, 5000, 900; Presby-
terian Hospital, s125,oO Mrs. Lucy
Fayerweather, widow of the testator,
compromised the contest in court for
100000 which, together with several
minor bequests, were paid by the exc
cutors. This disposition of the fund is
objected to by 20 colleges and institu-
tions mentioned in the body of the will,
who succeeded in setting aside the
deed of gift made by the executors.
From this decision six institutions fav-
ored by the executors, appealed. VIM.
Blake, John E. Parsons and ex-Judge
Choate today argued that Judge True's
decision should be reversed.

DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
Broken Rail Causes Wreck On the
st. Louis and Hannibal.

Twenty-three Passengers Seriously In
jured-Engineer Saw the Danger But
Could Not Stop.
Slick, Mo-, May l4.-At eigh. this morning
a south bound passenger train on the st.
Louis and Hannibal railroad. struck d
broken rail about two niles north OF Slick.
1t derailed the entire train, killing one per-
SON outright and badly injuring % others.
C. Meyer of warrentown. Missouri, was
killed. Eugene sullivan, the engineer. Is
probably fatally injured. The train was
running at ordinary speed and the engineer
did not observe the 0roken rail until within
nearly fifty feet of 1t. Air brakes were in
stantly applied, but the momentum was SO
great the train could not be stopped. The
engine. baggage car and coaches left the
rails and rolled down twenty feet en-
bankment. The uninjured passengers and
crew rushed to the assistance of those down
in the wreck and soon mad them out of the
debris. AS soon as word of the accident
reached Slick numberof physicians hurried
TO the sceno and did all in their power TO
assist the injured. The seriously injured
were brought to this place in carriages and
wagons and mace as comfortable as possible.
A wrecking train was sent from Hannibal.
The tracks were repaired this afternoon.
