possible that disturbances will follow
as the lockedout operators have station

SAN FRANCISCO, March lS.-Tho legal
sIuabblo ovor tho $40. .OOo, 900 left by tho
late bonanza king, JamoA G. Fair, do,
velopcd fresh sensation to-day. What
Is purported to be later will than tho
one previously offered for probate, was
introduced in tho case. Tho will frat
produced, It will DO remembered. was
stolen from the county clork's office and
in order that tho document might be
probated. Judge STACK had finally ruled
that certified copy OF the will might be-
substituted. Upon tho alleged will in
troduced to-day n bitter contest will
hinge.
This now document purports to be
Photographic will. 1t is writton in lead
pencil on two sheets of legal cap paper.
It was brought into court securely
framed between two plates OF glass and
was presented by Reuben Lloyd, attor-
ney for Virginia Fair aud Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs, OF New York, daughters OF the
deceased. Tho attorneys for Charley
Fair. their brother, came into court
with Mr.. Lloyd and apparently ap-
proved the proceeding. There is no
longer any doubt that the three chill
dren have combined TO fight for tho
probate OF this latest alleged will. I'm
der its provisions the vast eatate would
be divided almost equally between the
two daughters and Charley, and the dis
trih ,-n,,l1 kn do -
Under the will previously offered for
probate, these children would get only
the income from the estate during their
term of life and upon the death OF all OF
them the estate would be divided into
three equal parts, ono part going TO the
children OF Mrs. Oelrichs. one part to
the children OF Virginia Fair, unless
she died without issue, when this share
would revert to the children OF Mrs.
Oelrichs, and the remaining one
third 10 the families OF several
brothers and sisters OF the deceased.
Charley Fairs recent marriage caused
an arrangement between himself
and mis- father and he was cut off with
life interest IN the income OF tho es-
tate. His widow would receive moth
ing. In other respects tho will fret
produced and the will produced to-day
are very similar. In the second will,
however, Charles Fair receives special
bequest OF 100000 TO be paid I'M
mcdiately before tho distribution OF the
estate. Mes,rs. Angus and Crothers
and Mr.. Mark Livingston are named as
executors under the second will
The attorneys for the executors under
the first will intimated very strongly
that thoy believed this alleged will to be
q forgery. Further probate proceed
ings were finally continued until April 2.

IRON WORKERS SCALE.
Humors OF n Reduction In tho Scale for
tho Coming Year.

Humors OF a Reduction In tho Scale FOR
tho Coming Year.
PrrTsBURGu, March lS.-There is
much speculation rife concerning the
probable outcome OF the abrogation OF
the iron workers scale by the Ohio
Valley manufacturers. According to the
terms OF the agreement either side could
terminate it by giving sixty days notice.
The Ohio Valley iron manufacturer.
gave the required notice, which will e1-
pire on April l. The exact amount OF
the reduction they desire Is not known
for neither the manufacturers nor the
Amalgamated Association officials will
furnish any figures. 1t has been stated
that a reduction OF 20 per cent in all de-
partmcnts will be asked, out as the pud-
ding rate at present is only 81 per ton
with proporiionatc rates for finishing,
it is thought that the demands will not
be SO great.
But whatever reduction is granted the
Ohio Valley people will have TO be given
TO manufacturers all over the country,
SO that the result OF this matter will al.
feet all tho iron workers in the Amalga-
mated Association.
