her, and this may prevail with him and In.
duce him to come back tc the generals
side. Should he continue obdurate do not

America"
Mrs. Booth-Tucker. who is tall, attrac-
tive woman, with large gray eyes, and
who speaks in softly modulased voice,
said: Il shall try to induce my brother
and sister to remain with the rest of the
family and 1 have great hopes Of being
able to accomplish this by persuasion and
prayer"
Mrs. Booth-rucker was asked If she had
any recent information which would tend
TO reconsider his action, and she replied:
unfortunately, no. 1t is hard, however,
to plead with any one when separated by
5000 miles of ocean,"
Shortly before the train left Waterloo

The general kissed both his son and

There he formed his hands into a trumpet
and shouted: Remember my message.
TO America
The general i'm the course of an interview
after the departure of the Booth-Tuckera
Tor Southampton remarked:
MY message to America is a simple one
Peace and good WILL"
When he was asked if he thought Balling-
ton Booth would return to the army headed
by himself, the general replied: Il am alb
solutely confident that he will"
The general was then asked why he was
so confident, and he answered.:
''On account of my prayers"
'Will the split affect your plans?" was the
next question.
NO" replied the general. MY army IL

DIED FROM HIS INJURIES,
Result Of the Accident on the Fort
Myer Electric Road.

Result of the Accident ON the Fort
Myer Electric Road.
Private Frank Morris of the calvary band
at Fort Myer, who was injured on the de-
railment of the car on the Washington and
Arlington Electric railway, as stated in
The Star yesterday, died this morning at
o'clock at the post hospital at the fort.
Everything was done to save the life of the
injured man. DR.. Arthur and DR.. Mearns,
the pest surgeons. were in constant atten-
dance at the bedside, but the patient was
beyond human help. 1t was at first de-
cided 10 amputate his limbs. but on ac-
count Of his weakened condition it was
concluded that 1t would not be well to at
tempt 1t. For rearly two hours the in.
jured man suffered at the Rosslyn ter
minus. After he was taken from the
wreck he was carried to a small house,
used as an office at the end of q road, and
later one Of the post surgeons arrived at
the scene. It was ore hour and forty min
utes before an ambulance arrived at the
scene. No one thought his injuries would
result fatally. Both legs. just above the
ankle, were horribly crushed and mashed.
Private Morris had been in the service
for some time and was popular among all
the soldiers. He was but twenty-four
years OF age. The deceased had been mar
ried but two months, and his wife was at
his bedside in the last hours.
The funeral will take place tomorrow at
1 o'clock. While the arrangements have
not been completed yet 1t is probable that
the funeral will be a military affair." and
the tnterment will be at Arlington Nation
al cemetery.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT
Terms Agreed Upon in the Contested
Olmstead Will Case.
1t Has Been Twice Tried and Has
Involved Great Expense to
Both Sides.

As exclusively stated In The Star several
days ago would be the result, the Olmstead
" i'll case has Eeen settled out of court. So.
when the case is called up again for trial
before Judge Cox Monday morning next
the court will be so informed and the con-
test will be dismissed. The terms of the
settlement will hardly be stated, however,
and it may be that they will never be ac-
LGrately known by others than the inter
ested parties and their counsel
The contest arose over the will Of Mrs.
John F. Olmstead, who was a daughter Of
the late Hayward M. Hutchinson. Mrs.
Olns stead died early in August, 1889, and
June 6, 1889. she made the will which was
contested by her sister, Mrs. Linda Hutch
iIson Webb. BY the terms of the will
Mr.. Olmstead was made the sole and abso-
lutte beneficiary. the estate consisting main-
ly of Mrs. Olmstead's share in her fathers
estate, being estimated to be worth not less
than 100000. For many mcnths previous
to her death Mrs. Olmstead suffered great
ly from Bright's disease. finally succumb-
ing to it. and her sister. in contesting the
validity of the will, charged that it had
been procured through the alleged fraud
and undue influence Of Mr.. Olmstead.
Mrs. Webb also charged that her sister
was. at the time of the making of the will,
mentally fncapacitated from making a
valid deed or contract. The contest over
the will was not, however, commenced I'M
til some time after it had been admitted to
probate.
The case was twice tried, the first trial,
before Judge Cole, resulting in victory
for Mrs. Webb, the will being set aside.
But, upon an appeal by Mr.. Olmstead, the
Court of Appeals reversed that judgment
and ordered a new trial The second trial
took place before Judge Bradley last fall.
That resulted in a disagreement of the
jury, although it was reported that a ma
jority of them favored Mrs Webb. A
third trial of the case thereupon became
necessary, and some weeks ago it was
arral ged TO take place before Judge Cox
last Monday. The death of Mr.. VIM. 3.
Webb, Mrs. Webbs father-in-law, neces-
STATED further postponement, however,
and the case was set down for trial before
Judge Cox next Monday.
1t is understood that the offer for a set
tlement of the case out of court originally
came from Mr.. Olmstead, and it is said
that by the terms of the compromise he is
to receive not less than $4,000. Both trials
consumed several weeks each, and resulted
In an expense to each side of many thou
sand dollars. Mrs. Webb's attorneys are
Mcssrs. Enoch Totten and r. Ross Perry,
her husband, John Sidney Webb, being as
sociated with Col Totten at the first trial.
Mr.: Olmstead's counsel are Henry E. Davis
and Jere NJ. Wilson.

event could convictions be had in the cases
at this late day. and he thought that no
good purpose could be served by continuing
them.
Judge Cox assented, remarking that such
a disposition of the cases would be very
proper. The cases were, therefore, nolle
pressed, as was tie case of Edward Leon,
charged about two years ago with causing
the death of an infant by performing an
abortion on its mother, a young white
girl Leon was twice convieted, first of
murder and then of manslaughter, but
Judge Cole reversed both verdicts, holding
that the evidence was insufficient to sup
Port either one. Mr. Birney also entered a
nolle prosequt in the case of Moses, alias
Buddy, Smith, charged with housebreak-
ing, explaining that he believed the man
innocent.

convention, said in interview:
Il believe We will carry next fall all the
territories and majority of the states of
the south and west, including Nebraska,
the two Dakotas, and, believe, Iowa.
I'VE have good fighting chance In Mis-
souri,, and are certain of sweeping Texas,
and will carry every congressional district
In the latter state with the possible excep-
ton Of three.
IN the south We will carry without ques-
tion Alabama, Georgia and North and
South Carolina If the union of forces be-
tween the silver advocates and ourselves is
as harmonious everything now indicates,
We expect to capture all the states south of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers, with the
possible exception of West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, where the fight will
be between US and the republicans. This
would leave the republicans sixteen states
east of the Mississippi and north of the
Potomac and Ohio, without taking the
democrats into the calculation at ALL
when the national conventions of the
peoples party and of the national silver
party assemble in st. Louis. speaking as
chairman OF the national executive COM
mittee of the former. 1 assure you every
effort consistent with party honor and
every concession not involving a departure
from principles will q made to form a CO.
alition between the two organizations.
Candidates for the first and second places
on the presidential ticket will be selected
with reference to their ability to draw
votes from all the reform parties in the
country, and from the dissatisfied among
the members of the two old parties as
well.
My individual belief is that our presi-
Dental candidate will come from the west
or south. The people cannot trust a man
from the east. While our declaration of
party principles will involve an expression
on other issues, the financial plank will
fern the broadest and biggest part Of our
platform.
I'VE demand the free and unlimited COIN
age of both gold and silver at the ratio of
III to 1. independent of the action Of any
other nation

GEN. HARRIsON's NAME
VIII BE Presented to the St. Louis
Convention.

Convention.
CHICAGO. March IA special to the
Tribune from Washington, DC, says:
Benjamin Harrison's name will be pre-
sented for the consideration of the republi-
can national convention at st. Louis.
This announcement is made on the au-
tEority of prominent Indiana leaders, who
have within the last few days written to
members of the delegation here, and the
story has been confirmed by kilograms re-
ceived explanatory of the results In the
congressional convention Thursday.
When ex-President Harrison's letter of
withdrawal was printed prominent nrem-
hers of the Indiana delegation declared the
letter would not prevent them from making
use of HarriSon'S name IL they saw fit.
Since that time the situation has been can
vassed thoroughly, and the result has been
that the word was passed throughout In
diana that instructed delegates would be
an unwise political step, and that tine state
should be left free to take up Harrison's s
name If it seemed advisable.
A concession, it Is said, was made to the
Mckinley sentiment in the state in several
districts by agreement that Mckinley men
might be elected If they could secure votes
enough, provided they would agree to vote
for Harrison at any time when a majority
Of the delegations so decided.
