WAS WITNESSED BY GRANT.
The Will of the Late Joseph Holt Very
MYsteriousIy Turns UP.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Aug. 26.-Ihe
will of the late Joseph Holt, who was
Judge advocate general in the United
States army during the war, was filed
today.
The instrument was witnessed twenty
years ago by General Grant and Sher-
man and Mrs. Sherman. The estate,
valued at between $200,00 and $780,
900. is left to Lizzie Hynes, a niece, and
Josephine Holt Throckmorton, God
child. Judge Holt was Kentuckian,
but for twenty-five years lived in
this city. He died several months
ago leaving considerable property
but no will so far as the most
diligent search could discover. Arrange
ments were made accordingly for its di-
vision among his nearest relatives. This
morning the register OF wills received
in the mails letter containing an old
faded and partially burnt piece of paper,
which on examination purported to be
an old will of Judge Holt. There was
no communication accompanying the pa
per to show the sender or motive for
transmitting it to the register.
The property went into the hands OF
two trust companies as administrators
for distribution to the legal heirs. These
were W. D. Holt, J. W. Holt and W. G..
Sterrett, the well known Texas news
paper correspondent. Josephine Holt
Throckmorton is daughter of Major
Throckmorton, U. s. A. She is married
and lives in New York. Miss Hynes is
also living.
The executor of the will thus strangely
found is Mr.. Devlin, a clerk in the Wal
Department, who was the confidential
secretary of Judge Holt when the will
was written. He has identified the
writing.
About nire thousand dollars of the es
tate has been distributed to the heirs al
law.

THE WORK OF ANARCHISTS.
Authors of the Attempt Upon the Life

PARIS, Aug. 26-The efforts of the
police to discover the authors of the at
tempt upon the life of Baron Alphonse
de Rothschild, on Saturday afternoon
last, by sending him an internal ma
chine, disguised as package, which ex-
ploded when opened by the bankers
confidential clerk, M. Jodkowitz, have
proved unavailing up to the present
time. The authorities, however, are con-
fident that it was the work of anarchists
and thirty suspected anarchists have
been arrested, examined and obliged to
give the police specimens of their hand
writing. They were subsequently dis
charged. NJ. Jodkowitz continues to

THE PORT ROYAL DOCK.
Some Doubt as to its Ever Being Avail
able for Large Ships.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 Some doubt
is expressed at the Navy Department as
to whether the Port Royal dock will ever
be available for what it was intended
for, the docking of large ships. The fault
upon which the report against the dock
is based is due mainly to the delay which
has ensued. While work upon the dock
has been in progress the Teredo, very
destructive water bug has been eating
away the sheet piling, at the entrance
of the dock an1 this has allowed the
sand backing to give away. The sheet
piling consists of eight inch squared
timber. The Teredo completely honey
combs this wood as long as it is in salt
water. When the wood can be washed
with fresh water or come into the air
the Teredo can no longer work.

MR.. sPoFFoRD's STATEMENT.
Denies That He Has WrongfulIY With
held Government Money.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 26.-Libra.
rian Spofford, in view of various con-
fiicting statements regarding the sum of
$22, 400 paid by him into the Treasury
last week, was asked today what the
amount really represented. He replied
that it was approximately the amount
due the Treasury on balance of copy
right and salary accounts, as he found
it. An unfavorable and wholly wrong
construction, he said, had been placed
upon it as representing large deficit,
whereas it was actually a balance be-
tween two accounts, salary account due
the Librarian for several months dis
bursements, and an account due the gov
ernment for several months copyright
fees. These accounts had remained unset
tied although constant payments had been
made by him to the number of 10 or 10
during 1894 and 1895 of copyright re-
ceipts, amounting to over $55, 700, be-
sides the $22, 400 now deposited. He
emphatically denied any allegation that
the recent payment was made to make
good any wrongful withholding of
moneys due to the government. On the
contrary, the whole matter involved a
balancing of delayed accounts, which
his accumulated labors, constantly
growing, had too long postponed. All
copyright receipts had been entered
daily, with dates, sources, and amounts,
whether small or large, duly noted, and
he (Spofford) held himself responsible
for the same.

A KENTUCKY LYNCHING BEE.
A Negro Hanged to Tree by Mob of
aDOZen Men.

SPRINGFIELD, KY, Aug. 26.-Shortly
after o'clock this morning a mob, com
posed Of about a dozen men, took Harri-
son Lewis, the negro who murdered Joe
Brooks, also colored, last Friday night,
from the jail here and hanged him to a
tree in the court house yard.
When the mob reached the jail they
called for jailor Smith, but his wife in
formed them that he was not at home,
and that he had the keys to the Jail with
him. This did not daunt the mob, how
ever. Going to a blacksmith shop neGr
by, they procured some sledge hammers,
and, after three hours work, succeeded
in battering down the Jail door.
Lewis was found crOuching in his cell
and begged piteously for his life but the
leader ordered the men to make quick
work Of him. He was quickly seized
and after placing a rope around his
neck, was dragged to the nearest tree
and strung up without further ceremony.
The mob did it's work IN an orderly
way and seemed to be throughly orga-
nized. 1t is the opinion of many that
it was composed of colored men. After
CcLIplCtluS tuO4I NOIh, buS uOU quietly
The murder was dastardly one and
the negroes have been greatly worked up
since its occurrence. Friday night Lewis
went to Brooks house, and, calling him
to the door, shot him down on his own
threshold without any warning.
Harrison Lewis, the man that was
lynched, was brother of Matthew Lewis,
who narrowly escaped lynching here
about two weeks ago for an assault upon
Mrs. Murray Shields, and who was taken
to Louisville for safe keaninO.
