Mr. Root said that he did not think that the
matter should be brought under the jurisdic-
tion of oh. Legislature at all. inasninch as
the commission wrs created by the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Sheffield took tho same view OF
IL. and went further to say that it was n SIN all
matter. Mr.. Blodgstt Expressed til. oIinion
that the petitioners are too sensitive, and that
no charges OF dishonest or disbonorabie con-
duct had been made. The gentleman from
Pawtucket also said that u was a judicial
procoeding still pending In the court. and
should not be taken up by the General AS
tembly.
Mr.. studley said that il was not stil pend.
ing in the court. aud was not going before a
jury. as Mr.. Blodgett had claimed. Mr..
studley continued that an unjust accusation
had been made, and that every fair m nd led
man should be willing TO give the accused the
redress asked for.
Mr.. BlodRett admitted the correction, but
still opposed tbs passage of the resolution.
stating that the adoption OF ID would result
only in harm.
Mr.. Littleheli thought that the matter
should not be ignored, and moved that the
resolution be referred TO the judiciary com
mittee.
Mr.. Studiey replied that this would be a
very easy method of getting rid OF IL. but an
unfair one. "It is vess' simple question,
and one that every man can decide for him
self-an accusation has been made and denied.
II it Is true IL shoull be left on the records
IL not taken off. 4"
The motion of reference was then put and
carried, Mr.. Studloy alone voting in the mega.
tive.
The Governors message was then road.
The House adjourned at 2:i5 o'clock.

SHE SAVED FOR MANY.
seventy-fou Persons VIII Share Misery
Womnn's Fortune.


The decision of Judge Gibson OF the
Clark circuit court To appoint commits
sioner to dispose OF the property of the lato
eccentric Mrs. Sarah Lewman of Jeffer-
sonville, Ind, ends case remarkable
from many standpoints. The recent death
of Mrs. Lewman and her daughter, q
maiden lady within short time of each
other, their supposed poverty and the IN
expected finding of a fortune concealed In
their hons caused a sensation at the time.
The administrator on stigatipg the
premises found money hidden in the eel
lar, In fruit jars, cans, the attic, In cracks
under the carpets, and in fact, there was
hardly secret spot around the house but
contained either gold and silver or bills Of
large denominations. notes and papers Of
great value, bank books representing thou
sands of dollars of deposits, etc.
Soon the place had to be guarded to pre-
vent the invaders from literally tearing IL
TO pieces in their mad search for hidden
treasure. Exaggerated reports of the 1nd-
ing Of fabulous sums spread over the
neighborhood, and tho excitement was in
tense Heirs, or persons claiming TO be
relatives, sprang up by the dozens from
all over the country, demanding share Of
the estate. The administrator found that
an estate Of about $40, 900 had been left by
the eccentric old woman. An auction Of
the personal effects was held, which was
looked upon and observed as the event of
the season In the upper end of tho county.
Politicians and preachers were I'm attend.
ance, farmers and merchants laid aside
their duties, prepared lunches and took
their families. Refreshment stands did
rushing business.
Everything was unearthed and Sold
from tho ancient but costly silk and satin
gowns of the deceased TO coffcepot 1t
is even said That an attempt was made to
sell secondhand set Of false teeth. The
peculiarities of Mrs. Lewman and her
daughter were that they lived almost in
want while surrounded by plenty. They
did not know what train Of cars was
like, and for 10 years prior to their death
did not leave their isolated home, except
TO go 10 church. According TO the ruling
OF Judge Gibson, the commissioner ap-
pointed will convert the whole estate into
money and divide IL equally among the
"a heirs, according to the degree of rela
tionship. In this way the person getting
tho greatest amount will receive about
81, 500, and the one getting the smallest
