OF THE BRIGGS WILL.
Documents oncrcd for Probate I'm the
InnuIN InIrI.

Documents offered for Probate In the
County Court.
The will OF the late Mrs. Emily j. Briggs
was offered for probate in the county court
yestrday morning, but the hearing was post
poned until November 30. on the request
Of the attorneys for Clinton Briggs. the only
heir OF the testator. While no definite ac-
tion has yet been taken, It Is generally un-
dcrstood that the son will contest the VIII.
Whether he will protest against the pro-
batting OF the document or whether he will
undertake to upset the provisions OF the VIII
after II has been probated remain to be de-
termined but the course taken by his
attorneys indicates that one course or the
other will be taken.
Tho will names George I. Gilbert and c.
w Hamilton, jr., as executors, and names
the same parties together with Charles +,
Catlin, as trustees. All Of the property OF
the testator Is hequeathed to the trustees
and they are given full power to manage the
lffairs Of the estate and to fill vacancies oc-
curing in their number by the appointment
OF such persons as they may select. II is
stipulated that the west two-thirds Of lot
2 In block llS, city, being on Douglas street
between Fifteenth and sixteenth streets,
shall not be sold. but shall be improved in
order to produce as large an income as may
be. The balance OF the estate Is directed
to be converted into money as soon rs the
circumstances will permit and Invested In
first mortgage securities. The income from
tho estate is to 20 to the only heir
OF the tcstator Clinton II. Briggs,
but a proviso is inserted to the effect that
if the said income is spent in dissipation
or in such manner as to be injurious, in
the judgment of the trustees. then they are
directed to pay the son only such amounts
as may be necessary for his support. At
his death the income is to 20 to his lawful
children. II he leaves any, or to his widow,
| provided he leaves a widow and no children.
This feature of the will Is surrounded by
| numerous conditions. In case the son dies
withou, leaving lawful heirs the income
| from the property on Douglas street is to
| go in equal shares to the Child's hospital.
| the Old Ladies' home and Trinity Episcopal
| church. and the remainder OF the estate is
| bequeathed to the sisters and brothers of
| the late husband OF the testator. The Will
| bears date of November IL, 1895.

Mystic Legion.

Windsor Castle. No. l. Mystic Legion. held
its first business meeting in its new hall in
Labor temple Friday evening. The new
ritual for initiation OF candidates was also
used for the first time The work is very
fine, instructive and entertaining, the lessons
impressive and this feature Will prove most
attractive as soon as the working officers
have become familiar with their parts The
two soldiers presented a very martial
appearance with their drawn swords. II
seemed peculiarly fitting that the two Mys-
tics taking those parts should be doctors,
the "long knives" being handled In a manner
suggestive OF the amputating room, as well
as OF field OF battle. AS the present en-
trance fee will be closed after next Friday
night there will doubtless be large num-
ber OF candidates to be introduced.
A new entertainment committee was ap-
pointed for the coming month and this por
tlon OF the evenings exercises will no doubt
be highly enjoyable, as have the efforts Of
the old committee.

The Western Laborer of October "a, says:
"Jullus Meyer is a candidate for alder
man in tho Third ward and should by all
means be elected. There is not n harder
worker for or better friend Of organized
labor in Omaha than Julius Meyer, and II
we had 600 votes In that ward we would
cast every one of them for him. The writer
knows just what he is talking about when
he says Julius Mayer did more to straghten
out and clean up the job printers strike
few years ago than the Central Labor union
and the Typographical union combined. His
judgment and advice is always sound and
for fifteen years he has been active in or
ganized labor without hope Of reward. His
worst enemies find nothing against him.
Julius Meyer Ia a business man. 4 taxpayer,
q friend of labor and his election would re-
deem that ward from the vile hands 1t has
been in for years He will make the best
alderman the ward ever had. Elect him.
In the issue of October Goth, the same
paper says: For councilman OF the Third
ward-Julius Meyer. We have known Julius
Meyer since 1867. Everybody in labor cir
cles knows julius Meyer because OF his
many services in the labor cause. The time
has never been when Julius was not ready
to lend hand in any enterprise for labor's
benefit He is a thorough business man and
believes In doing even union work in a
business manner, hence his help has always
been valuable to the Central Labor union
and wo want few of his calber in the
council"

The New Brick Works,

The White Haven Brick Company,
Limited, which was recently organized
to operate Il new brick plant in Sandy
valley, will locate on the Upper Lehigh
branch at Sandy Run junction, on what
is known as the Fairchild farm The
farm has 10 acres which have been Sc
cured on "A perpetual lease. Track con-
nections with both Lehigh Valley and
Jersey Central Railroads are afforded
with but trifing expense, thus making
an important saving in the cost of hand
ling the product.
The farm is practically solid bed of
clay and shale, of superior quality, and
especially adapted to the manufacture
of building brick, vitrified paving brick
and fire proof tling. 1t has been thor
oughly tested, and the samples shown
equal those of any brick works in the
country.
The company is endeavoring to raise
capital of 100000 Over one-half of
this amount is subscribed. 1t is intend
ed to erect one of the biggest and most
extensive brick plants in the state.
Much of the machinery is already or
dered and the work of getting ready to
begin building is well under way.

James Baskin, of Sandy Run, who
served as one of the supervisors of the

and Iron. Policeman Seiwell on Satur-
day. The warrant charges him with
perjury, by swearing that his time book,
as shown to the township auditors, was
correct; and that the time charged for
horse was also correct, which statements
1irA knew to be false. The information
was given by E. A. Oberrender, of Drift
ton, before Alderman Laubach, of
Hazeton.
After his arrest Mr.. Baskin accompa-
MED the officer to Freeand, where he
entered bail for his appearance next
Saturday.
Since. the auditors completed their
work Mr.. Baskin offered to reimburse
the township for the amount surcharged
against him, but it would not be accept
ed, hence the arrest.

that the company is now having con

and Buffalo, which, it is claimed, for
completeness of detail, comfort and
safety will surpass any train now in
operation in the world. The company
has decided to adopt some appropriate
title for these trains and has offered Il
prize of S25 in gold for the suggestion
of a name that shall finally be adopted.
Communications should be sent to Mr..
Lee, 22s South Third street, Philadel-
phia, prior to April 16 and the envelopes
should be marked name contest" The
name suggested must be short and to
the point, original in application to rail-
road trains, and one not in use by any
railroad at the present time.
