Probate court-Judre cIeave,and.

John c. Punderford, administrator of the will of Mrs. Eliza Klem applied yesterday to Judge Cleaveland for an order to sell certain parcels of real estate. Mary c, Klem, wife of George J. Klem, died December 5, 1S49, leav- ing property on Dixwell avenue, near the corner of Bristol street, the lot numbering 61. The lot had 50 feet frontage. She left two children, Charles J., of Lawrenceburg, Ky, and Rosa A, of Nassau, Bahama Islands. The wid- over married again on February 12, 1852, and this time his bride was Eliza Eurns. Three children were born to them, George A., Mary J. and John J,
 On February 4, 1857, the father died leaving property on Spruce and York streets and Davenport avenue. His will was probated September 13, 1S5S and the property distributed, In this distribution the Dixwell avenue lot was divided, and 22 feet on the south side was given to the children by the first wife, the other 30 feet going to the other children. Mrs. Klem died in De- cember of last wear. and MT Punder- ford was appointed executor. When he asked for an order to sell the property on DiXwell avenue the peculiar condi- tions were found upon examination of the records.
 Warren H. Bristol appeared for MT Punderford, and Matthew Reynolds for the children of the second wife. MT. Bristol contended that the entire 50 feet belonged to the children by the first yxriF h1y rao hat ho a . given them while the entire lot belong ed to them on account of dover interest in their mothers estate and on adverse possession. Mrs. Eliza klem had all ways supposed that she had only a life interest in the estate, and had admit ted superior title in others.
 Judge Cleaveland ordered the lawyers to submit briefs in the case.
 WILL OF TREADWELL KETCHAM
 The will of the late Treadwell Ketch- am, the millionaire was offered for probate yesterday and there waiver of notice was issued by the court for the signatures of the heirs in which they waive all objection to the admission of the will to probate.
 The will was executed about two years ago by MT. Ketcham himself, and apparently without the assistance of a lawyer. MT Ketcham usually conduct ed his affairs without the assistance of a lawyer as he was a very superior business man familiar with important financial transactions and banking expert
 There are no public bequests and the property will descend in the usual course to the three lines of inheritance. The three heirs are Mrs. Daniel c. Eaton of 70 Sachem street, who Is a daughter of MT Ketcham, William P Ketcham of New York city, a son, and the children of the first wife of Daniel c. Gilman. Mrs. Gilman is dead, but she leaves three or four children. These three branches will divide the estate about equally.
 William P. Ketcham of New York and George F. Eaton of this city, a grandson of MT. Ketcham, are named | as executors.
 It is thought that the estate will in- ventory at about $2oo0,000 and it is all in good securities or valuable real es- | tate.

The Yarmouth road people say that the
matter of paving and keeping so much of
the roadway as they occupy in repair is
covered by their charter, and that the ab-
sence of provisions on these points in the
order passed by the Board Of Aldermen
does not relieve them to do these things
The only obligation which the Portland
road is under outside OF the money terms
which does not apply to the Yarmouth
road is the obligation not to allow any
other road to use its track. This they say
amounts to nothing as nobody will want
to use their track. The difference in
money terms is manifestly in favor of the
Yarmouth road for while that road agrees
to pay what amounts to about the prinoi-
pal and three per cent interest, the Port
land road agrees to pay the principal and
five per cent interest.

reason Congress has clothed juries with

The London Daily Mail learns that the
sculptor of the famous silver statue of
Miss Ada Rehan, which was shown at
the Chicago Exposition, has been engaged
to execute statue of President Mckinley
for the Paris Exposition of 1900, the figure
to be seven feet high, and to be made of
solid gold. 1t is estimated that the value
of the bullion contained In it will be
more than million dollars The owners
and exhibitors of this remarkable object
are, our London authority tells us, GER

having it made. Whether the Western
capitalists have devised this scheme from
pure love of art, or whether they expect
to earn interest on their investment by
showing the statue to the curious, yet
remains to be disclosed.

slue, ana hour after hour the great suruc-
ture swung to and fro. Throughout the
night the storm ragged. In the morning
a strange sight was revealed. Down in
the gorge, on the debris slopes of the
bank, the beautiful bridge. which had
been admired by thousands, lay bottom
upward. The storm had loosened it from
some OF the suspenders, and the continued
blasts set 1t in motion until it's own
weight aided in ripping it from all the
suspenders. and 1t dropped into the gorge
The last man to cross it was DIR. John
Hodge, who passed over from this city to
the Canadian side to visit very sick
patient. That portion of the fallen
structure on the banks WAS removed, but
the greater part is still hidden beneath
the rapid waters Of the deep and danger
Gus gorge. Within forty eight hours after
the bridge was swept away the directors
had met and ordered new structure,
patterned after the one destroyed. On
May z, 1889, this bridge was opened to
traffic, just ~ days after the storm. 1t
Is this bridge that is.now to Egive way to
the second arch across the gorge, it being
less than ten years old, but quite made
quate to the demands of the times since
the trolly has become such an important

was destroyed by wind storm on April

grand old wreck swinging across the
gorge just before Lewiston is reached on
the gorge road, or New York Central. 1t

bridges of the Niagara gorge, its end is

A recent federal statute provides that in
capital cases the jury in rendering their
verdict may determine whether the pun
fshment shall be death or imprisonment
for life. The first trial that has taken
place under this statute recently came
to an end in New York, and it is worthy
of note, in view of the long wrangling
and apparent deadlock of the jury, that
conviction, which doubtless was the
mans deserts, hardly could have been
brought about if the jury had not had the
option of determining the punishment.
Unquestionably, doubts linger in the
minds of some jurors which they would
not entertain if capital punishment did
not stare them in the face and for this
