ANOTHER WILL TURNS UP.
IT ANTEDATES THE OTHER INSTRUMENT
A Montgomery Business Man May Lose Both Arms as the Result of Shoot
 ing Afray.

Montgomery Aug. 20-(Special)- Newspaper readers will remember the sensational developments in the legal fight over a will left by the late Mrs. Leonora Kennedy, in which she cut off her son and husband and an unfortunate invalid sister and willed her valuable property 10 the Coghill sisters, public school teachers here, in whom she had no especial interest. The will was shat tered by the probate court but the Cog hills appealed their cases to the supreme court. Now another will has been found antc-dating the disputed will by some i've years. This will bequeaths the property to her husband and son and provides that during her lifetime her invalid sister shall receive S33. 30 per month. If the supreme court sustains the decision of the lower court this Ia ast will stands.

communication from Mrs. Mary r. Lowell of Bryn Mawr, Pa, who is superinten- dent of the department of mercy of the National Woman's Christian Temper ance association, and also viee-president of the American Humane society, pro testing on behalf of these organizations against the removal of the relic because of the projected sham bull fights at the exposition. Mrs Lowell asks the mayor, in view of the fact, to withhold his sane tion of the bells removal. The city's ex- ecutive has not yet replied to the pro- test, but inasmuch as he has taken a de cided stand in favor of the transfer of the relic it is believed that his answer to Mrs Lowell will be of an adverse char acter.
 Argument was heard before presiding Judge Thayer of the common pleas court today in the application of the citizens for an injunction to prevent the city oli- cials Of Philadelphia from taking the bell to the exposition. The answer of the city was a general denial of the allegations of the complainants and concluded with a motion to dismiss the bill.
 The greater part of the argument re lated to the power of the city council to make an appropriation for the transfer No decision vas rendered.

TO BE BROUGHT TO ACCOUNT.
Parties Implicated in the Killing of the Ban-
 mock Indians.


 Washington, Aug. 20-Since the clos ing of the Bannock Indian troubles the interior department has been busy col lecting materials as a basis of report of the whole affair, and it has now about completed it's task.
 It has been long understood that those implicated in the killing and woundng of Indians would be brought to account. The department of justice will soon have all the facts of the affair laid before 1t, probably tomorrow. and it is understood that the interior department will recom- mend that special agents be detailed to visit the scene of the recent troubles and make investigation in view of punishing the persons who engaged in killing the Indians. In the event that the depart ment of justice acquiesces in this recom- mendation, the interior department will send inspectors along with the agents to assist in the investigation.
 It is not likely that Agent Teter will take any part in this phase of the matter, owing to the prejudices of the settlers against him.

Too Tight

When l grew old enough to "make
calls" myself, the first experience OF
this performed social duty is highly
painful to recollect. / accompanied
my father on q round of visits which
luckily did not require spacious
radius for its accomplishment. I
wore, on that momentous occasion,
pair of new patent leather shoes
which gave me, on the start, few
ominous pinches. Later, mys tor
ments became 'excruciating, and yet
I refused. tozstell my father, as we
walked along together, that l suf-
fered in the faintest degree. But,
ah, how | suffered! l was not yet
too old quite to have outSrown the
allurements of plum cake and picked
oysters, but I had no desire for
either in the various drawing-rooms
which we entered. What to me was
pleasure of the palate then, while
every joint in every toe was burning
and throbbing? Surely the daring
depredations of past New Years
days were being punished now.
Every stolen picked oyster, every
ravished macaroon must have been
wreaking upon me separate pang
of punishment.-Edgar Fawoett, in
Lippin colts.

The Inventor Got Fifty Gents.

In quaint old house at No. 609
Marshall street lives Frank 0. Des-
champs, who, although over seventy
years old, has been inventing things
all his life. Mr.. Deschamps is as
active as boy of twenty, lives all
alone amidst his models and con-
trivances, cooks his own meals, acts
as his own housekeepcr, and is as
happy as the day is long. Mr.. Des-
champs's first invention of note was
the artificial leg. 1t was over fifty
wears ago when Mr.. Deschamps,
then an apprentice, was asked by his
master to see what he could do for q
foppish Frenchman who had lost a
leg. AT that time only wooden pegs
were known, ard the Frenchman was
dissatisfied with this by no means
elegant substitute. In two days
young Deschamps had finished o
complete model of an artificial leg,
with every movement of the natural
limb duplicated. His master had it
patented, and it yielded him for
tune. II got fifty cents out of it, >"
laughingly remarked Deschamps.
''The Frenchman gave me that and
told me to go over to Smiths island
and enjoy myself. And I thought I
was in great luck at that. "-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

MCCJESKA AND FAIR.
The Actress Takes Him for a Miner
ard Gives Him a TIP.

| ard Gives Him TIP.
Zone of the most interesting rem
iniscences told of Senator Fair, {"
remarked a prominent mining man
at the Palace hotel, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, ''is concerning
an incident that happened up on the
Comstock many years ago. Nodes
ka had come ups to Virginia City,
and wanted to see Comstock mine.
Sam Davis, the publisher of the APP
peal, undertook to show the actress
the workings of mine. Armed
with the proper authority, they de-
scended the, shaft to the six-hun-
dred- foot level and there ran across
Fair.
''Now Modieska didn't know the
first thing about a mine, though she
was not entirely devoid of informa-
tion concerning the owners of the
Comstock. The name of James G..
Fair was as familiar to her as to al
most any Californian, although she
had never met the bonanza king,
She bad imagined that a mau of his
millions must be dignified sort of

rather inclined to Stand aloof from
the men whom he employed. So it
didn't occur to her for q moment that
the man in the grizzled beard and
canvas overalls whom she met on
the six hundred foot level was James
G. Fair, though Davis distinctly in
troduccd him to the actress as Mr..

inquired Fair. 49,
''Mme. Modjeska replied that such
was the object of her visit.
"'Well, might have the pleasure
of escorting you through he askeds
''Modjeska replied that she would
be pleased. So Fair joined the party
and showed them through the mine.
when they returned to the top of
the shaft and went into the office
Modjeska suggested: Mr.. Davis,
let me pay my guide for his trouble
"'Well, you nigh. give him fifty
cents suggested Davis, and he
chuckled at the prospect. = .
''Modjeska laid fifty-cent piece
on the counter and thanked him for
his services. Fair looked at her in
blank astonishment. 1t was such a
remarkable proceeding that he was
perfectly dumfounded and stared
at her in silence. Modjeska was
equally puzzled, but Davis came to
her relief. I guess he wants more,
he said. you had better make it
dollar Modjeska laid another half
dollar piece on the counter and then.
