 Other Court Notes.
 The contest over the will of the late Elizabeth Saxon Bradley, who lived with her second husband Richard Bradley, in the house at the corner of Webster street and Winchester avenue, was on trial before Judge Shumway in the superior court yesterday. Mrs Bradley had city property inventoried at $S500. At the time of hok death, which occurred within the year, she left a will providing that her husband should have a life use of the property, and at his death $500 of it should go to the Evergreen Cemetery association for a monument and the rest to her broth CT in England.
 Mrs. Ann Steele and Mrs. Fanny Elm cry, who are half sisters of the testa- tor, claim that they should have had a portion of the property and would have had it if MT. Bradley had not ex- ercised undue influence over his wife in the disposal of her property. Hence the contest.
 Mrs. Ann Steele was one of the witt nesses introduced by the contestants yesterday morning and by her they att tempted to show that MT Bradley s treatment of his wife was not what it should have been. She told of the last illness of the deceased, and said she was there when the death occurred.
 Mrs. Ann Bennett of Division street, an intimate friend of the deceased and frequently at the house, said she had seen that MT. Bradley's treatment of his wife was rather harsh.
 Witness also said that all MT. Brad ley did was work on his wife's prop erty and his wife supported him for several years before her death,
 It appeared on cross-examination that Mrs Bennett had sent in bill for her care of Mrs. Bradley in her last illness and MT. Bradley had told her he wouldn't pay for it.
 Mrs. Julia Fields of n Washington street, witness for MT. Bradley, is a small woman with a very positive air. She was Mrs Bradley's most intimate friend. They visited frequently and sometimes took tea together. She asserted that MT. Bradley and his wife were on the best of terms and she had heard Mrs Bradley say that she wanted him to do nothing else but take care of her property. It was the most natural thing in the world fo1 him to get the life use of the property the witness thought.
 Other witnesses, including MT. Brad ley himself, were put on to corroboratt the statements of Mrs Fields, and the case was closed for argument.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 2.-The Minne-

night and the candidacy Of Daniel W.
Lawler for vice president was infer-
mally discussed. The delegation was
willing to support him for the place,
but it was thought that the peculiar
situation of the candidates made it very
likely that in case Watterson was not
nominated for president that nominal
ton would 90 to state so near Minne-
sofa that it would be impossible to Sc
cure the vice presidential nomination
for man from that state. Mr.. Law

that it was as easy to secure the nomi-
nation for first place as that of second,
and it is possible that his name will be
presented for the first place. /

The long column Of old vets turned

At the lower end Of Sixth street the

It's the Largest Majority
~ on Record.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Sept.
2.-The Green Mountain state has de-
clared for Josiah Circuit, Rep, for gov
ernor, and for the Republican state
ticket entire by majority that equaled
the prediction of the most confident
Republican managers. Returns from
distant towns are rather slow in coming
in, but the count in all sections Of the
state show substantial Republican gains
and indicating that the majority for the
Republican state ticket will be about
10000. This is the largest majority
ever given for a governor in this state
the nearest approach to it being in 1888,
when the majority was 27,68S. The
Republican leaders claim the majority
may reach $4,000 and even $1,000.
Henry Powers, the
. Republican Congressional Candidate
in the First district, alM William Grout
in the Second are both reelected by in
creased majorities, and the state senate
and house are in the control Of the Re-
publicans by practically the same ma
jority as two years ago. The weather
generally was cool and fair throughout
the state, and brought out the hundreds
of Republican voters who have not
been to the polls for years. Practically
the full Republican vote was cast. On
the other hand the lack Of organization
in the Democratic ranks was very ap-
parent. Many Democrats who do not
endorse the platform of the Chicago con-
vention staid away from the polls while
the more dissatisfied ones voted for the
Republican ticket. The Populist and
Prohibition vote was practically the
same as four years ago.
