JESSE WILL TAKE THE RISK
Pour Millions in Sight and Mr.. Potter
Wants II
The Distribution of the Enormous niller & Lux
Estate the Question at Issue-The
Forfeiture Clause

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 2s.-it is
stated that Jesse Potter, the son of Mrs.
Charles Lux, will take the risk of for
feiture of legacy in an attempt to get
for himself the $4,000. 900 estate left by
his mother. Potter is the son of MIS-.
Lux by her first husband. When the
widow of the cattle king died her estate
consisted of one-quarter interest in the
firm of Miller & Lux. She left 500. 900 in
cash to her son and made number of
smaller bequests to relatives and to
charity. The remainder, amounting to
over $3, 600, ,00U, was left in trust, the in
come to be paid to Jesse Potter during
his life. When Potter dies the estate is
to be divided among his son and two of
Mrs. Lux's sisters. A clause in the will
provided that in case any OF the legatees
contest the will he shall forfeit his leg
acy. 1t IS claimed by the people who are
fighting Henry Miller to make him wind
up the affairs of the firm that Potter is
under his influence and follows his
orders. If the will IS broken and Potter
gets the entire estate, the distribution of
the estate will be indefinitely delayed.
Potter is now executor of the estate of
Charles Luz and the other heirs have
commenced proceedings TO have him
removed on the ground that ne IS incom-
petent to manage the affairs of the ss-
tate and that be is com bining with Miller
to avoid the dissolution of the firm.

IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY

Hamlin ranch, nine miles west of Delano

young man 20 years old, was instantly
killed. William Miller had both legs
broken and is internally injured. Lou

also slightly injured. The crew was en-

was scattered all about and far behind
and beyond where the men were at work.
Gsrwood had just driven up and was
standing forty feet from the engine when
the explosion occurred. HIS skull was
crushed in and he was tossed over a pile
OF sacks some forty feet distant while
Rowlee, who was standing behind him.
was only slightly injured. Two men
standing at the sides of the boiler and
others near by, though out of line directly
in front or behind the boiler, escaped
uninjured while others were knocked down
by pieces of betting. etc. The engine was
an old one and the steam guage defective.

proper amount of steam. moment be-
fore the explosion the attention of the
engineer was called to the steam guage
but before reply could be made the flying
pieces of boiler had left death and suffer-
ing in their path. 1t is believed that
the steam in the boiler was far greater
than the gauge showed, and that the
pressure was too great for the boiler.

ENGLISH HOUSE OF LORDS
Is Now the Topic Of Principal Dis
cussi0n
It May Be nade an Elective Body, Though
This Is Not Expected to Occur
Immediately

LONDON. Sept. %. - Copyrighted.
1895, by the Associated Press. )-Reform
in the house of lords in the last few days
has become topic of principal discus-
sion. While nothing may come OF 1t i'm
mediately or In the near iuture tire vigor
with which the subject is being handled
in the press and in public dispatches in
dictate that the leaven is working which
will ultimately give the house of lords a
semblance OF representative chamber.
The speech of the Marquis of London
dorry at banquet at Ripon last night,
in which he admitted that the house of
lords is susceptible to Improvement and
expressed the hope that the Unionists
would grapple with the question. was
heartily welcomed by the Unionist press
and appears to confirm the statement
published in the Daily Chronicle yester-
day morning that the Conservative lead
ers mediate introducing measure in IA
vor of the reform of the house of lords.
1t is suggested. however, that there is
possibility that this is another scheme
emanating from the Irish domination by
the Right Hon. Joseph Cham berlaiin with
a view 70 further "dishing" the Radicals.
The latter, however. would consent to
no reform which would leave the house
of lords in existence with the power of
rejecting or modifying bills adopted by
the house of commons. 1t is,thought pos
sible. howeevr, that the Radicals might
be induced to accept as an alternative of
abolition some reform measure which
would leave the lords the mere power of
referendum to the people regarding any
bill which they might decline to accept

Match Three to Two

CENTRE ISLAND, N. Y. Sept. 2s.-
The international college cup offered by
the Sewanhaka- Corinthian Yacht club OF
New York for half raters has been suc-
cessfully defended and will remain on
this side of the Atlantic until some other
country sends over faster boat than
Spruce w. The match which was con-
cluded today consisted of the best three
out of five races, sailed over the Long
Island sound course. The first race was
won by the American and the second by
the Briton. In the third Ethelwynn
withdrew after making one round. The
choice of the fifth course was gained by
MIR. Brand today. He selected the trian-
gular. The course was sailed cleanly over
and the Ball brothers. pushed their vessel
through the water faster from the start
than Brand could.
Ethelwynn gained on every leg OF the
six except one. and on that she lost but a
second. Spruce also carried more sail
than Ethelwynn at almost every period
of the race. On one point OF sailing,
pointing into the wind when beating,
Spruce did the better Work. but Ethelwynn
was always the faster, and by going
anead, not only maintained, but increas.
ed her lead. The wind was from the
northeast and not stronger than six
knots an hour. The racers were sent
away on boat to windward.
The applause which both boats receiv-
ed at the finish was one to delight the
crew of any half rater. Every boat with.
in hailing distance made some signal of
enthusiasm. and the plucly Englishman
who has fought so gallantly for the
trophy can never complain that the
American people did not give him part
in the final greeting.

DROPPED A THOUSAND FEET
CIrtching Desperately But valnly st The
Empty Air
nonrovia People Turn Out to Witness Ba1s
loon Ascension and Parachute Jump
Which Ends Fatally
Special to the Herald

Special 10 the Herald
MONROVIA, Sept. 2S.-A horrible ao-
cident occurred at Monrovia this after
noon at 4:30 O'Clock, which resulted in
the immediate death of Nellie III gel, wife
of f. 9. Hagel, the noted aerpnaut.
The couple have been travelling through
out the state making balloon asoensiops
and parachute jumps. They arrived m
Monrovia Monday and were soon guarau-
teed enough money to warrant them in
giving an exhibition. The balloon was
inflated at the corner of Myrtle and Olive
avenues and large crowd of people bad
assembled to witness Mrs. Hagel's exhi-
bition. There was very little vino. .bIow-
ing and the balloon went straight up.
The ascension could not have been more
perfect. All eyes we're turned upward to
witness the beautiful but daring sight,
when ut height of about a5thousand
feet Mrs. Hagel let go with her right
hand TO pull the rope which would cut
the parachute loose from the balloon.
When this was done she shut down about
hundred feet like a fash. The AIR
caught the parachute. 1t commenced to
9 pen and the spectators hagan 10 breathe
easier. Then she fell. and a thrill of
horror ran through the crowd. The
woman clutched desperately at the air
in the vain hope of catching stray rope.
They were all beyond her reach. Down
she came like cannon bail dropped
from the clouds. Strohg men paled and
turned their backs, women turned siok
at the sight and children screamed. Sho
came to the ground with thud that wns
heard and felt by persons nearly mile
away. She struck the ground not hum
dred yards from where the ascension took
place. The almost crazed husband rushed
to the spot where his unfortunate wife
lay lifeless, but although several physi-
clans were soon on the scene it was i'm.
possible to do anything for her. Life was
extinct. She struck on her back. the head
coming in contact with the ground first
and her skull was crushed to a jelly.
The body was removed to the undertake
ing pailors OF Reynolds & Van Nuys and
the coroner notified. Mr.. Hagel says the
accident must have occurred by her left
hand slipping from the safety rope which
should have been wounu around her
wrist. He thinks it could not have oc-
currred in any other way. Great SYM
pathy is expressed for the unfortunate
man. At p. m. Coroner Campbell held
an inquest and the jury returned q ver-
dict in accordancewith the above facts.
