rIGHE's WILL AND TIES OF BLOOD.
sIIty-nlne OF the Union square Eccentric's
Alleged Kin as Contestants.

sIIty-nInc OF the Union square Ecccntric's
Alleged Kin rs Contestants.
The evidence OF the witnesses to the will Of
"Sir" Richard Tighe having been taken ct q
previous hearing. the contest Of his will came
on before Surrogate Fitzgerald yesterday. Tighe
was an eccentric man, who lived at 80 Union
square long after business houses had en-
croached on all sides. He was tall and stopped
and shabby. On his death in May, 1896, at 90
years Of age, he left a couple Of millions or so.
His will, executed in 1884, according to the date
1t bore. left most OF his property to relatives Of
his deceased wife. Sixty-nine contestants, who
say t. ey are of his own blood, have since arisen.
A number OF checks Of Tighe's, some Of them
htty-ive years old, were put in evidence by the
contestants. yesterday as a basis for expert tes-
timony on the chirography Of the will. The will
is in four sheets written on both sides. There
are blank spaces in the will. clearly filed in af-
ter the will was made. over some of which there
are pencil notes of what is filled in in ink.
William +. Hagen. an expert in handwriting,
testified that the first two sheets OF the will
were written five to ten years after the last two
sheets. He said the intcrlineations were in q
different writing than the body of the will, and
the date seemed to have been filled in in still
another hand.
He was on tho stand when the case went over
to Wednesday next.

eral years ago with a view OF retaining the
street waits OF the metropolis, is not approved
by the State Board Of Charities. The report Of

to-day by the board. After a careful Considera-
tion of al Lhe Circumstances attending the estab-
lishment and maintenance Of the republic the
committee concludes:

effort stands only AS an experiment and en-.
deavor TO establish. under n police system, re-

pcrmanence. Without any suggestion Of
the family, and barren of any educational
provisions, which are the foundation upon
which all efforts OF reform must he based and
upon which ordinary social life is dependent, it
stands only rs an ingenious effort ut temporary
restraint. Laying aside al! sentiment and view
ing il solely from the standpoint OF the prac.
tical, your committee feels that it possesses none
OF the elements Of success
The request for the INCORPORATION OF the Sal.
