BRISTOL.

The general topic of conversation here
at the present time it whether or not the
taxpayers oesire a local electric road.
The charter has been granted by the Gen.
eral Assembly, and now II remains with
the Taxpayers TO say ry their votes
whether the road shall be built. A
special meeting will be called for the
purpose of granting the privilege CT lay
1ng rails in the street. There are many
Things TO be well considered before any
definite action Is taken SO that the
citizens who are allowed to vote on this
question can vote upderstandingly. The
town has been led into SO many schemes
that have proved suicidal that in this
case great caution should be exercised.
There are many advantages to be gained
by granting the privilege asked for. A
street railway.will help swell the treas
ury, as a large tax will be derived from
1T. On the.other hand the question will
the town receive remuneration enough to
warrant Ii in granting the petition pre-
sents itself. The matter is certainly one
demanding careful consideration and
that at once.

Earrett'S Will Makes His
Wife Sole Legatec.
Nothing Left for Charities by
Dead Millionaire.
There Is Belief, However, That
They Will Be Remembered.

Baltimore, Aug. 5-Two wills made by
the late Robert Garrett were given TO the
press last night. They were filed for
probate at Towson today. The first will
was drawn In Baltimore In 1888, and
substantially names his wife as sole de-
visee and legatee The second instru-
ment was executed I'm London. July 8.
1883, a short while after the tragic death
OF his brother, T. Harrison Garrett.
In the last document. 800. 900 Is be-
queathed to each OF the three children
of his brother; 100000 TO William +.
Frick. his father-in-law; $4,000 to
Charles Nitze. his home d'affaires. and
SIC. 900 TO A. B. Grain, Mr.. Garrett's pri-
vate secretary. All the rest and residue
Of the estate is given to his wife. Mary
Frick Garrett absolutely, who. together
with her father, william +. Frick, are
named executors.
Ii is thought by some intimate friends
OF the family that the reason for probat-
ing both Wills is the fact that the last
one was executed just at the commence
ment of Mr.. Garrett's long continued
sickness. and In view Of this fact, II was
deemed advisable TO prove both instru-
ments.
As the widow Is the residuary devisee
and legatee under both wills. from the
fact OF proving both. II seems TO be evil
dent that she intends TO adopt the last
one although in derogation of her rights.

rem and others The executors have
given full power of attorney TO Charles
Nitze TO act for them In all matters re-
lating TO the business of Robert Gar
rett e. Sons, OF which the deceased was
the sole surviving partner
Some surprise was expressed that Mr..
Garrett. In view Of the fact that he was
known to be a promoter OF many chari.
ties, did not provide for them in either
will. This, is explained, however. in the
clause in which he states that his wife
was we'll acquainted with his plans In
this direction, and he was satisfied that
she would cary out his Views.
