REVELL'S WILL.
An Interesting Point Growing Out of
1t Presented to the Court.

The attention of the Appellate Court was
called to new statutory provision by At
torney Walter ]. Ballou Of woonsocket in PEE
tition he presented 10 the court today asking
TO be appointed trustee 10 sell certain prop
erty belonging TO the estate of the lateLeopold
T.. Rsvell. The petition was signed by Con-
stat Revell child of the deceased.
leopold L. Revtll wasa refugee fromFrance,
who, when in lS4s the citizen king Louis Phil.
lippe, left his throne and was succeeded after
brief while by Louis Napoleon, sfterward
Napoleon ILL, who became by election the
masters of the destiny of France, left his ma
tive land ana took up his home in woonsock-
ct. He there taught the Partisan tongue and
raised large family. The united efforts Of
himself and family resulted in the accumu-
lation of some real estate. He was a man
with some singular ideas, as was shown in
the will that he lefty when he died Is years
ago.
The will was ynot drawn by a lawyer, but
its provisions even IL they had passed under
the eye of learned counsel, would have had
some stamp of originality about them.
BY the will Mr.. Revell left all his property
to his W ife and after her death it was to go TO
such of his children as had married before
they reached the age of 30 years, and after
their death TO the children of thoss last refer
red TO who had received common school ed
ucation.
In the time that has elapsed since the death
of the teacher of languages the property has
fallen into state that needs the expenditure
OF money upon it, and his children are none of
them able to expend the sums necessary to
make the repairs. There are Is grandchild-
rem, whose ages vary from manhood to six
months. The two that are youngest are
twins. The children OF the deceased and the
grand children live in Woonsocket, Lisbon,
Ne, Hudson. Mass, and other places None
of his heirs can afford TO pay the taxes OF. at
least claim that they are not able to do so. A
curbing tax of s65 was assessed against the
estate some time ago and with great difficulty
paid
The new provision OF the statute which Mr..
Bailou calledd the attention of the court to is
section ls of chapter POI, which provides that
when the real estate Is subject to a contin-
gent remainder. etc, the appellate division
may, upon the petition of any person who
has an estate in possession in such real es tate,
after notice, appoint one or moro trustees to
sell and convey such real estate or any part
thereof in fee simple, IL such sale and convey
auce appears TO said appellate division to be
necessary or expedient for such an amount,
and on such terms as said division may deem
proper. and such conveyance shall be valid
and binding upon all parties.
Mr.. Ballou said that in the ptition presented
by him all the children of the deceased Joined
and the three grandchildren who were mi.
nors 1t was intended, he stated 10 sell the
property and invest the proceeds in accori-
ance with the provisions of the will. The
court ordered citation to issue in the usual
form.

son Admit They Eloped.

Newark. N. j., March "a sensation was
:arsed In this city when il became known
that Rev. j. M. Millingon, pastor of the Fair
mont Baptist Church, had made full confes-
sion to the deacons of the church regarding
his disappearance. He left his home here to

father, who Is also minister, in Keesvlle N.
Y. There he made statement in which he
said that his mind was a blank TO him after
he left New York until he found himself in
Montreal. In his confession to the deacons
Mr. Millington admits that he left home with
Mrs. Dorothy Dclserson, who is separated
from her husband, and who left the same day

Millington says that after he and Mrs. Diclxer-
son le.t this city they went to Montreal where
they registered as K. t. Harold and wife at a
boarding house. They rems inei there over

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET

Price, Mccormick & Co. wired Weeden, Ken
dali 81 Co. today: Liverpool advices were
disappointing. The spot market showed de-
cline and futures were lower than they were
yesterday. No advices that have been receiv-
ed explain the cause OF the decline. The
political situation appears quiet, inasmuch as
consols are quoted at yesterdays closing
figure. The receipts today will not exceed
5000 bales, against Ii, ,JO7 last week and 10, 1888
last year"
Wheat was irregular today after its decline
and many judges are still looking for lower
prices for the bread stuffs.
The cables today quoted wheat and corn
cargoes in London as very dull Berlin was
Ia marks lower Liverpool wheat was steady
and corn was quiet.
Joseph says today 1.-THE statistical posi-.
ton of the cereals is sufficient to cause
small and persistent fadvance in corn. An.
other fact not TO be ignored is this, the corn
crop in 1897 will not be nearly rs large as that
of last year. The acreage given up to cotton
has been very large. We shall raise n big cot
ton crop and the new cotton will be cheaper
than the present, but corn will be dearcr, be-
cause the South will not SOW any but will buy
from the West. The conditions, economic and
otherwise. are rapidly adjusting themselves" "
Paine, Webber 81 Co., as quoted by Z. J.
Knight ~ Co., say: "The position OF wheat
yesterday in the facs OF the most bullish
March official report on record. save that OF
1895, afforded a strong reminder of the occa-
stoned action of stocks on favorable divi.
dend Evidently there was too much long
wheat held TO sell after the report"

BEAT HIS BRIDE.
McVanna Pounded His Wife Into
Insensibility.


At 80 this morning John McVanna
left his home, 3s Knight street. in a
hurry and for the time supposed that he
had killed his wife to whom he has been
married less than four weeks.
As near as can be learned McVanna re-
turned from East Providence last even
ing and had been drinking He went into
his wife's sleeping room and began 10
quarrel with her, but his aged mother
stepped into the room and persuaded her
son to be quiet. At O'Clock this morn
ing he arose and at once began to abuse
his bride, but she had good friend in her
mother-in-law. McVanna went out and
was gone about two hours. On his return
he went TO his room where he found his
wife in bed, as is she Is suffering from an
attack of In grippe He then went To the
side of the bed and with his fist began TO
beat her about the head and face and con-
tinued to do SO until he was exhausted.
He then put on his coat and hat and ran
from the house. His mother, Mrs. Susan
Powers, she having been married second
time, called upon the tenants In the
upper part of the house for assistance.
A neighbor responded, and found Mrs.
McVanna In an unconscious condition,
and at once notified the police. When
Sergeant Stone, Patrolmen Brehancy and
Hopkins arrived mt the house, one of them
McVanna was taken to the Rhode Island
Hospital.
A description of McVanna was then
sent to police headquarters and in time
was sent out to each station. As he is
well known in the vicinity Sergeant
Stone and Patrolman Brehaney found no
difficulty in tracing him To Gesler street,
where he was found at II 40 and locked
up at the Knight street station. Mrs.
Powers says that the cause of the trouble
Is due to jealousy on the part of her son,
which is uncalled for. Before she was
married her name was Sarah Lehey and
she is about 80 years old, while her hus-
band Is five years older
McVanna is well known in the city
and for number Of years conducted "A
carriage shop on Orange street, He dis

pital. say Mrs. McVanna's injuries will
not prove fatal.

FINANCIALNEWS

The market was dull again today, but Il
opened above the closing prices and has kent
its strength remarkably. 1t was believed that
there's was good selling in several instances
but the market resisted the attacks well, and
the conservative advices ut present are to buy
stocks on weak days for small profits. The
news today is neither very good nor very bad.
The tariff situation is unchanged, and while
railroad earnings show relatively more in
creases for the first week in March than in
any previousweek this year. the demand for
securities is easily satisfied.
In London today the market for American
securities ruled firm. Consols were steady at
liz LID. and while there was very little busi-
ness done there was strong undertone and
the tendency was evidently toward higher
prices. Ii Is generally admitted that il would
require very little incentive to bring about sc-
tivity and AN advance. The New York foreign
houses were practically without orders today
New York correspondent Of Hallett, An
derson a. Co. wires toGay that the evidence
that the tide in the business situation has
turned is accommodating and that from the best
advices il can be attested that the improve.
ment is genuine. Goods are beginning to
move, and, what is more encouraging, are
being moved at profit.
There was bull tip on New York Central

regard TO Tobacco today, and it is currently
reported that the scrip will shortly be cashed.

BROWN AND ITS PRESIDENT.

This action of the incorporation OF
Brown University should not be taken as
criticism of President Andrews, remarks
the Westerly Sun. 1t Is nothing OF the
kind. Neither should it be taken as an
attempt to prevent him from teaching
whatever he believes. 1t is not that either.
1t is, however, q proper movement on the
part of those who are responsible for the
conduct of Brown University to prevent
that venerable institution from becoming
the incubator Of ideas which these re-
sponsibility- bearers believe to be wrong in
theory and detrimental in practice. 1t is
not even q criticism of Mr.. Andrews; 1t is
only an effort to make the college the
teacher OF principles in which its sup
porters believe.
