THE SOLITARY LOSS.
Another sight which one frequently
sees in the Wall street district. which
adds not a little to the sense of reality
in the transactions of the Street, is a
dray being loaded with bars of silver
by stalwart men-who pile in the white
metal as If they We're putting on a
load of bricks-or another dray driv-
ing along loaded with loaded bags and
boxes of gold.
Most of these drays are bound to or
from steamers, though there is some
carriage of coin and bullion within the
district itself.
On one of these argosies on wheels
there are generally four men, besides
the driver, to guard the treasure.
When the load is of extraordinary
value other guards are scattered along
the route taken by the dray But gold
and silver is not an easy thing to steal,
anyway-it is so heavy. A box of gold
cannot be "prigged' as easily as a
lady'S pocketbook.
precious metal to and from the Wall
street district and in it was almost en-
tirely done by j. r. Barkley. About
three years ago Mr. Barley died, and
row his son continues the business.
They have carted more billions of dol
lars in bullion and coin than any other
firm in this country. and probably in
the world: and in all this time only
once have they had anything stolen
from their care.
HOW 1T HAPPENED
J A few years ago they lost two bars
of silver, worth then about $500 each.
The silver was being taken to a steam
er, which lay at a North river pier.
1t was a foggy day and SO thick in
West street that one could not see a
block ahead distinctly. In the dense
jam of vehicles, which always encum-
bers West street in the busy hours, and
in the obscurity of the fog at mo-
ment when the guards were not looking.
two thieves managed to steal each a
bar of silver out of the back of the
truck, and to get away unobseryed
The thieves thought they had stolen
lead and sold their booty to junk
dealer for pigs of that metal When
the papers the next morning told of the
theft of the silver bars, one of the
thieves went to the junk dealer and
demanded more money. saying that as
what he had sold for lead turned out
TO be silver he ought to have the diff
ference in the price. His greed was his
ruin, for he was caught tried and con-
yicted to as long term of imprison
ment as the statutes covering the case
allowed.
1t is not an unusual thing for Bark
ley to carry q million dollars in coin OF
bullion on one of his trucks, and he
has a double truck" as he calls it
upon which he will sometimes trans
fer two millions.

TO PROTECT WILLS.

Connecticut Judges Plan for Carrying
Out - Testator's Wishes.
From the Hartford Times: The only
practical AMI simple scheme for the
prevention of attacks on wills is that
proposed by Judge John H. White Of
Hartford, and defeated by the legisla-
.ure Of 1895. 1t provides that every
person on making will may deposit
It with a legal officer, who shall give
public notice that will has been so
offered. and that all who wish to at
tack the capacity of the testator shall
have a certain time in which to offer
evidence and bring the matter to de-
,ision. II no objection to the testator's
capacity is made within the time speci-
fed, the will cannot be attacked on
hat ground after his death. The con-
tents OF the will are not disclosed, even
to it's custodian. No one has any
ground to attack it because he is left
out or gets less than he thinks he
should have. Evidently people will
think twice before attacking the tesla
mentary capacity of man who is
there to defend himself, especially
when they are uncertain how he has
devised his property, and may be bit
ting off their own noses AS Mr..
5wiveller remarked about the rooms
At Bevis Marks: THE contingent ad-
vantages are extraordinary" Under
this law there would be no premium
IN Withdrawing. The proposed law
ioes not require any one to deposit his
will. 1t merely gives to every person
an opportunity to make sure that his
intentions regarding his property shall
be carried out and growing scandal
diminished. Another idea is that the
legislature pass an act directing the
Judge in his charge to the jury, in case
Of will contests, to instruct them as
to the weight Of evidence and the ver-
dict that is demanded by the law
These will cases present questions OF
law about which the judge knows more
than the jury; and we can conceive OF
no more infamous practice than that
of breaking will on technical points
when the intent OF the testator is clear
Something should be done to stop this
continued and growing raid upon willis
