PULLNIAN'S WILL READ.

Chicago, Oct. 24.---The will of George
NJ. Pullman was read to the family last
night by Mr.. Runnells, the solicitor of
the Pullman Company and Mr.. Pullman's
attorney.
Neither Mr.. Runnells nor any member
of the family will make the details public.
1t is said that Robert T. Lincoln and
Morgan b. Ream are the executors.
These gentlemen also refused to speak Of
the details.
1t is said that the will provides that
the income of trust fund shall be given
to the sons, and that there is no disin-
heriting. The widow and her two
daughters are believed to be handsomely
remembered.
A morning paper printed a report to-
day purporting to give the details OF the
will, but as the attorney, executors and
family have refused to speak Of the will
since the funeral, the report is pure con-
lecture.
The body OF George NJ. Pullman is
placed beyond the reach of "resurrec-
tionists' by being laid in Il pit eight feet
dcep,scalcd in with asphalt, concrete and
steel bars
\ foot-laycr OF asphalt is also placed

GUS programme as was presented.
Through some mistake in correspondence
Manager DOckstader booked two extra

upon his part, he decided to play all the

There are twelve numbers on the pro-
gramme and all OF them are frst-class.

A GLIMPSE OF JAPAN.
Works of the Flowery
Kingdom at our door.
Beautiful exhibit Of Japanese
Bric-a-Brac Rare Curious &c.
admired by hundreds.

The new store that has just been
opened by the japanese Fair Company
at 4l5 Market street is already popular
one to the ladies Of this city.
The tasteful arrangement Of the beau.
tiful wares presents a picture suggestive
of Fairyland, and never before has the
city Of Wilmington had an opportunity
of seeing such a magnificent collection OF
rare rugs, choice japanese bric-a-brac
and curios of every description.
Among the interesting novelties are
shell portiers, made Of fifty thousand
shells gathered from the shores OF Japan
made into porter, through which glass
beads are interspersed, forming beau
tiful design of birds and flowers, also a
table of original packages, showing the
way the goods are packed in Japan for
the long journey to America. The
packing is an art in itself and illustrates
the wonderful skill and ingenuity with
which the Japanese workmen envelop
every article in straw, tying and twisting
it into all sorts of inconceivable shapes
for the protection OF the wares and
finally forming it into neat and COM
pact-like package that could be thrown
across a room without injury to its con-
tents.
The walls are covered with fine dis
play OF Japan's newest rug, the most
durable in quality, that has ever been
imported. The designs are copied direct
from the Oriental rugs and will be found
in all sizes. An inspection Of this de-
partment will repay anyone who CON
templates purchasing rugs
The magnificent lockwood Cabinet is
an attraction worthy Of a visit and is con
sidered one of the finest specimens il
this country. 1t contains a fine co!!ec
ton of rare curios such as old Satsumas
antique Cloisonne, Unchin, kutani
Karansha, Moriaga and Hrato-gems o
old art which will prove interesting t.
collectors.
The choice table wares pretty cups ant
sacucers, fancy dishes, tea sets, &C., in ;
variety of shapes and designs all deco
rated with that great skill and beaut.
for which the Japanese are noted, ant
their clever limitations. OF Dresden, Roya
Worcester and other decorations are trul,
wonderful and cause some to question
their right to place in Japanese col
lection, but any skcptic will be show
the contents of an original package
showing the rice straw and the nativ
packing that no nation has been able t.
initiate.
Every one interested is cordially inyit
ed to call and visit the store whethe
wishing to purchase or not - and at tn
same time - enjoy an imaginary Trip t
Japan.

Troops Guard the Dam.

CEoToS, n. Y, Oct. 25.-Thc situation
at the new Cornell dam, three miles from
this village, is quiet to-day. On account
OF the stormy weather resumption Of
work may be postponed by the contract
ors. Sheriff johnson has reinforced his
original staff Of Is deputies to Us men,
and in order to prevent all possible trou-
bic he has requested Captain Pruyn, Of
the Fourth Separate Company OF Yonk-
crS, to bring his men up to the dam and
aid in protecting the property OF the con-
tractors. The troops are expected before
noon.
All the work on the dam is done in the
open air, and the rain will prevent any
Of the men from rrsl,ming their labors.
This may give the sheriff the opportunity
he wished to get, namely, that Of gaining
he summit Of the hills, which at present.
is held by the strikers.
The Summit of the two hills, between
which the dam is being constructed, is
the great point Of vantage for the dis
contented men. Many of their houses
are up there, and from that point they
can effcctually prevent any men from
working in the basin beneath.
The sheriff said that he intended to
put his deputies up there, and If he sue.
ceeds he will hold the key to the situa.
ton.
Many of the residents Of the place,
however, predict trouble before this il
accomplished.
The sheriff is paying particular atten.
ton to the guarding Of the big pumps
that keep the basin for the foundation Of
the dam free from water. 1t was feared
that the strikers would attempt to wreck
che pumping plant.
The men, however, say that they vii
do no violence, and say that the whole
taouble lies in the establishment of the
trarding house kept by Joseph Sica, anC
