Glover, Crosby S. Noyes, C. c. Lancaster

ing to finish a meeting in one evening.
The presidents report, which will be read,
will include a brief summary Of each of
the committees report. Printed copies
of the reports of the different committees
will be distributed among the members,
and in this way save an immense amount
of time.

Mrs. Nesbitt, cousin of Mrs. Webb. and
of the late Mrs. Olmstead. was still on the
| stand when the viii contest between Mrs.
| Webb and Mr.. Olmstfead came up before
Judge Bradley this morning.
She has proved a willing witness for her
| cousin, and Messrs. Wilson and Davis have
made a determined effort to break her
| down.
Judge Wilson took her printed evidence
as given in the former trial and compelled
her to admit that she had testified then
that she had known Mr.. Olmstead as
overbearing and tyrannical from the time
of his marriage to her cousin and before her
1 uncle's death. whereas the fact was that
| she had never known Mr.. Oimstead at all
till several years later.
She explained this in a little natural con-
fusion by saying that she then testified
to what she thought she knew. She had
heard so much from her aunt and cousin
showing Mr.. Olmstead's character during
| the years referred to that she thought she
| knew.
| Upon consideration of course she knew
she had no personal knowledge of Me-.
Olmstead's behavior at that time.
TOLD OF HIS ANGER.
Mrs. Webb was recalled and told how at
one time Mr.. Olmstead was at her mothers
house with his Wife. Her mother sent down
and hac some oysters brought for him. Her
mother said to him: Perhaps, If you will
not 90 down TO dinner, you VIII have some
oysters here"
He answered angrily, II told you I
would never eat another mouthful in your
house"
None of them answered a word.
Ella Nash, an intelligent colOred woman,
who attended Mrs. olmstead in her last
illness, testified that Mrs. Hutchinson,
her mistress mother, was never admitted
to Mrs. Olmstead's sick ROOM
Mr.. Olmstead told her not to admit Mrs.
Hutchinson to the sick room. 1t should
be proper for her TO come, but she was not
fit person to be in the sick room.
He said lie did not like Mrs. Hutchinson
and Mrs. Webb. They had i'd lot of
CAB" This order was issued after June
10, 1889.
On that date Mrs. Olmstead had a con-
vulsion, and frequently afterward had
other convulsiuns. Mrs. Olmstead was
much detected and grew steadily weaker.
mentally and physically, from March 8 be-
fore her death
ALWAYS VERY BRIEF.
She never read, played on the plano,
did any fancy work or used her mind in any
way. when she spoke to Mrs. Oimstead
the answer was always very brief. Mrs.
olmstead often said she wished she could
read.
She admitted Mrs. Olmstead's little
niece, Ida, to see her on one occasion,
and Mr.. Olmstead said she had no busi-
ness to do So without his order. He also
objected to her showing any attention at
all to Mrs. Hutchinson and Mrs Webb at
the time of Mrs. Olmstead's death.
Mrs olmstead appeared to have no will of
her own. She did in everything just what
her husband said She gave no directions
about the house. When asked Mrs. Ohm
stead was able to say what clothing she
wished to wear.
on June 6, 1889, said the witness, Mrs.
Olnistead was not capable of transacting
any business, making any contract, or
making a will. She would do anything
any body asked her to do. She always did
what her husband told her without hesi-
tatioD.

told that someone had just telephoned for
MIR. Neville and that he went down town.
1t was not Mr.. May who rang the telephone

DECLINE AND RECOVERY
Rumors of Gold Shipments Have
Depressing Effect

New York, Nov. THE decline of Ia
TO 3-4 per cent in the active stocks at the
opening was due to anadvance in the posted
ates of sterling exchange of 1-2c to
4.SS 1-2 and 4.9O
This revived the talk of gold exports
later in the week and added to the bea rish
feeling.
London was a seller of Northern Pacific
preferred and the stock fell to ID SO, the
lowest for long time past. 1t was again
rumored that the reorganization plan will
provide for a heavy cash assessment on the
Junior securities.
1t was noticeable, no wever, that the mar
ket showed more resisting power than of
late, and toward l o clock the room traders
started in to bring about a rally on the
shorts. They were successful in their
efforts. and prices recovered Ia to 1-2 PEI

The Old Steeplechase Jockey Spins Some
Funny Yarns.

Funny Yarns.
Old Pat Nolan, the celebrated steeple-
chase jockey, acquired considerable
fortune in the gala days of the sport

treasures enough for his wants in this
world, proceeded to build house at
Sheepshead Bay, says the Philadelphia
Press. While it was in the course of
construction countryman came along
and, after regarding it with interest,
said:
"Ayeh, Patsey, it's miny's the tonne,
Patsey, we whit over the wather jump
to get the money to build that house"
YES" responded Pat, knowingly;
IAN it's miny's the tonne, Moike, Oh
didn't 60 over the wather jump to git
the money to build that house."
Jack Bachelor at one time owned
the celebrated mare Princess. He was
robbed going down to the track one
evening and couldn't think of any
easier way to get his money back than
to run the mare in two races that she
was eligible for on the next days pro-
gramme 1t looked like butchery, but
Jack did it. One of the races was a
stake event. He started Princess and
won, and Immediately after sent her to
the post in purse race, which she also
captured with ease. "a man has got
to get even some way" said Jack, IAN
