FRUIT TRAINS ON TIME
The New System of transportation by
Ventilated Cars Has Proved
Quite Successful.

G. F. Smurr, general passenger manager
of the Southern Pacific Company. received
a dispatch yesterday from Chicago stating
that the first train of ventilated fruitcars
with California fruit for the East arrived
in Chicago ten hours late. The train,
however, was delayed ten hours at Dixon,
ILL.,, by wreck on the railway. Otherwise
it would have been on time according to
the fast schedule arranged by the Central
and Union Pacific com panies and the Chi
cago and Northwestern.
The second ventilated fruit train arrived
on time in Chicago from Sacramento. 1t
contained fresh fruits in season, and all
were in as perfect condition as if they had
been kept on ice throughout the journey.
The third train with a load Of fruit left
Sacramento for the East last night at II
o'clock. So far this latest system of trans
porting products of the orchards to East
though it was not altogether in the nature

A NEW GERLACH CONTEST,
This Time a Later Will of the
Old Man Is to Pre-
cipitate 1t.
Much Fought Over During Life, He
BequeathS More Liti-
cation.

Of late years there has been no name
more familiar to litigants in the Probate
Court than Conrad Gerlach, an old man
over 70 years of age. He owned property
valued at over $50, 900, and this was the
prize around which there was much legal
battling in an endeavor to have him pro-
nounced incompetent. Finally Otto tum
SUDDEN was appointed his guardian.
Mr. Gerlach died, and his will, dated De-
cember 26, 1889, was duly filed for probate.
The terms of the will were not deemed ia
vorable to the daughter, Mrs. Newlands,
and yesterday she filed an opposition to the
probate of this will. She alleges that it
was not subscribed by Gerlach or prop
erly attested to or acknowledged BY the
witnesses, Otto tum SUDDEN and William
Weber, with the other usual grounds of
contest.
But the chief ground of opposition is the
allegation OF another and later will dated
April 4, 1892, and now produced and filed.
By this instrument, which is rehearsed in
extenso in the opposition, all former wills
are revoked. The testator gives to his
daughter, Marie E. Newlands, the contest.
ant, all his property with the exception of
$1,000 to Mrs. Louisa Bee, another daugh-
ter, wife of Detective Bee. This late will
is witnessed by G. B. Holling and George
Wallenrod.
On these grounds, too, the contestant
asks that probate be denied the first will
and that the second will be admitted to
probate.
