John Willis. of the Willis 4 Lind
Lumber Co.. Happily Surprised
by EMPLOYEES.

One Of the affairs which causes a thrill
of enjoyment in the hearts of all con
cerned occurred at the Willis & Lind
Lumber Company's office Tuesday after
noon. Tuesday was the sixty sixth ami
versary Of the birth Of John Willis, the
president Of the company, and his en-
ployes arranged to remind him OF the oc-
casion by presentation At 4:30 they
all assembled in a drafting room up
stairs, where, little later, Mr.. Willis
was ushered in by his son Grant, who
had taken him away to allow the men to
arrange for the surprise, When Mr..
Willis appeared, Sales Manager o. II.
Bachtcl called his attention to his birth
day, and said the employees wished to pre-
sent him with IA cane, Mr.. Bachtel max
ing an appropriate speech. Before the
recipient recovered from the surprise,
Michael Gremminger, man in the en-
ploy Of the concern for over twenty five
years, in nice speech, presented him
with a cane-seated rocking chair. Mr..
Willis was nealry overcome by the express
sin of good will from the men and
thanked them sincerely.
The cane is "A gOld-headed one and bears
the inscription, "From the employees,

lures of the Skull.

Frank Wolf German in the employ
of John Kirchner, the baker, at 21s High
street, received injuries yesterday after
noon that may prove fatal Wolf is en-
ployed as driver of the bakery wagon
and was cleaning one Of the horses, pre-
paratory to starting upon his route, when
he was kicked and rendered insensible by
the brute. He was found in that condi-
ton by one Of the employees, and physi-
clans were hastily summoned. DIR.
Fraunfolter was first upon the scene and
after o hasty examination, found the
man to be seriously injured. McCrea's
ambulance was hurriedly sent for and the
unfortunats man was conveyed to Ault-
man hospital. A more thorough examin-
alton was made at the hospital, and eight
cuts varying in length, and two frac-
lures of the skull were revealed.
1t was determined to trephinest the most
severe fracture, and this was at once per
formed by DR.. Fraunfelter, assisted by
DR. Shilling.
As there were no cye-witnesses to the
accident, it Is impossible to determine the
exact details but the facts as related above
are the conclusions of those who were first
upon the scene. A message from the
hospital this morning reports Wolf as
having rested well during the night and
the chances excellent for his ultimate re-
COVery.

Accounts for Services.
The matter of compensation Of medical
witnesses in the case brought by Mrs, C.
Aultman for the removal of her guardian
was passed upon by the probate court
Wednesday.
The News Dem ocr8t was in possession
of the facts, but the matter had not been
finally adjusted at the time Of going to
press. The bills allowed were as follows I:
Drs Portmann, Fraunfolter, A. G..
Brant and A. b. Walker, put in bills
for $500, or nothing, as they were the
only local physicians who testified in the
case and they thought they were entitled
to that sum. 1t was cut down and $500
each decided upon as the compensation for
those four witnesses.
DIR. Allan McLain Hamilton, of New
Y ork, put in bill for $4,000 He was
allowed $3.50 DR.. Mcdonald, of New
York, put in till for SO 900, and his was
| also cut down TO $3.50.
The other bills were as follows; DR..
Phillips, $3.50; DR. Marchand, 800; DR..
E. p. Morrow, S25 ;Dr. II. A. Toby Of
Toledo $500; DR.. Imans of Newburg
$500; DR.. Richardson Of Columbus

for 500, but on some account it was not
allowed, the claim being made that he
entire bill for services of expert witnesses
in the case foots up to the neaj sum Of
$4,000.
Judge Wise did not pass upon the at
torney's fees in the case. The common
pleas court reviewed that portion Of the
mater, at the suggestion u Judge Wise.
1t was agreed that the attorneys should
secure $l4, 900, of which $1,000 was to go
to each side. In the division of the
aomunt it was agreed that for the plain
tiff Judge Thayer should receive 81 O5O
Judge Amber S2,O5O, Atlee Pomerene
81, 400. and John c. Welty 81 400. That
amounts to So, 900, but 800 had already
been allowed for expenses in getting de-
positions and that made up the allotted
sum.
For the guardian, Judge W. r. Day
receives fee of So 500, Henry W. Harter
So 600 and Judge George f. Baldwin and
Hon r. >. Shields 81 $50 each. The lat
ter gentlemen were called into the case at
late date.
Judge Wise heard the case, and while
the attorneys were receiving what may be
considered as at least reasonable and fair
compensation, he receives but the legal
fee allowed for hearing petition for the
removal of a guardian, one dollar and so
cents.

LEGAL TALENT
Engaged by Simon Maudru and a
Warm Fight Will be Made
in Court,

The application of Mrs Joseph Maudru
to have her husbands executor, Simon
Maudru, removed, is creating great stir.
1t is authoritatively stated that Simon
Maudru will engage the best legal talent
possible and will fight the case to the end
His friends state that the charges made
in Mrs. Maudru's petition are utterly
without foundation and that this will be
proven when the case comes to trial. BY
the terms of ex-Treaurer Maudru's will
his brother was made executor without

An alarm from box No 113, about
IL 80 last night, called the fire depart
ment to the residence of Mrs. G.. V. l..
Mellinger, in Lake street. Centrals and
hose companies 2 and 4 responded and
found the rear parlor Of the handsome
home in flames. A banquet lamp, with
a light silk shade was thought to have
been extinguished before Mr.. Mollinger,
her daughter Margaret and the servant,
he'd retired. This, however, proved TO be
incorrect, as few sparks from the lamp
ipnited the inflamable material of the
shade and quickly communicated with
the light draperies and curtains OF the
room. Mrs. Mellinger was awakened by
the cracking of the flames, and b eaking
of glass, and hastily summoning the rest
of the household hurried down stairs to
discover the entire rear parlor In flames.
A resident Of Logan avenue was fortu

engine house, were quickly upon the
scene. and by the skillful use Of BabCocks

property is insured, yet valuable paint

be replaced are irretrieyably ruined.
