KELLYS RELATIVES FIGHT
A Battle Is Begun Over the Es-
tate of James Kelly, Who
Owned Mines.
Collateral Heirs Charge That Sister
Catherine Russell Influenced
the Deceased.

The collateral heirs of the late James
Kelly, miner who possessed a considera-
BILE estate, have begun a contest of his will
and for legal grounds for the contest as
sert that Kelly was of unsound mind when
he made the will, and also that Sister
Catherine Russell, sister superior at st.
Mary's Hospital, unduly Influenced Kelly,
as she is asserted to now control Mrs.
Kelly, widow of the eceased.
In petition filed yesterday in the Pro-
bate Court by Henley and Costello, attor-
neys for the contestants, it is charged that
on March ID, 1889, the said Catherine Rus
sell induced Kelly to convey to her prop
erty on Fourth street, valued at $35, 900,
and it is stated that in the will Bridget
Kelly, his wife, was made sole legatee, ex-
cept for certain small amounts bequeathed
to the contestants. The petition alleges
that for a long time Sister Catherine Rus
sell possessed complete ascendency over
his impaired mind; that she induced him
to ignore the claims of blood relatives In
his bounty, land that the said Bridget
Kelly is now and has been for years COM
pletely under the control and domination
of the said Catherine Russell and subject
to her will; that said Catherine Russell
induced the said James Kelly to make said
Bridget Kelly his executrix of the said last
Will anu testament without DOnOS, Know
ing and believing that she, the said Cathe-
rine Russell, would be able to control and
direct the movements and actions of the
said Bridget Kelly as the executrix of the
said pretended last will and testament
1t is further charged that in June, 1893,
Catherine Russell induced Kelly and his
wife to convey to her property on Tenth
street and on Bowie avenue in this City
valued at $4,000, and that she further
took possession of large but unknown
amount of personal property belonging to
the deceased.
1t is also alleged that at the time of sign
ing said document said decedent was not
of sound or disposing mind, land that
said document was not signed by said de-
cedent nor by any person in his presence
nor by his direction"
The contestants are Charles Kelly,
brother of the deceased, whom the court is
asked to make executor instead of the
widow, Elizabeth R. Griffin, sister, Mary
and Margaret Mcbride, nieces and James
Mcbride, a nephew. The value of the
estate bequeathed in the will is not stated.
The gifts to Sister Catherine Russell are
said to have been charitable ones, and not
for her personal benefit.

Newport is now in "the full tide and

ball, given about three weeks ago, was a
grand affair and is much talked about since,
although so many things of a social nature
have since occurred at this gayest of gay
resorts. Mrs. Vanderbilt has an unassum-
ing figure and on the great occasion she
was gorgeous to behold in gown of gray
and pink and silver but many of her
guests wore more beautiful diamonds than
her own. Miss Vanderbilt is described as
having been quite charming in a very
simple frock of most exquisite white
organdie over pale blue silk, with ribbons
of the same shade. She did not wear
single jewel or ornament. Mrs John
Aston was one of the guests noted for her
brilliant beauty, and she is said never to
have looked better, for her costume of pink
satin was profusely embroidered in gold.
On her dark hair she wore tiara of dia-
monds and a magnificent crescent of large
diamonds adorned her corsage.

An important and welcome piece of
news comes from Paris, and that is that
capes shall continue to be in vogue. The
full, plain, all-round capes which reached
the knee or Just below the waist last win
ter will still be seen, but they will have a
powerful rival in another form of cape,
copied partially from the shoulder capes
worn by the Medici kings, for it has three
godet pleats in the center of the back and
meets in front. whereas the kingly garment
fell only in the back. Velvet is to be the
most popular fabric and hand embroideries
of Jet will figure on the pleats as well as on
the fronts. One such cape, as far as cut
goes, has already been worn here by a
slender, graceful young matron, but in
place of velvet the material used was the
finest broadcloth. the pleats being of light
fawn color, richly embroidered in black
let. The remainder of the cape was black,
lined with a changeable taffeta, shading
from fawn to mauve. The effect of the
garment was most excellent.
