WALDRON ESTATE.
The Contest Of Interest at Exeter
New Hampshire.

EXETER IN. H), Aug. 16.-The
contest over the Waldron estate of
Yreka, CAL is of interest here from the
fact that Mrs. Mary Packard Waldron
of San Francisco, whose will is to be
fought in the courts. formerly lived
here. Mrs. Waldron was the eldest
daughter of the late Ezra S. Durgin.
After the death of her first husband,
Mr.. Packard, she devoted her time to
music, being a singer of considerable
note Twenty-Five years ago she was
soprano of the First Church choir here,
then one of the best in the State. She
had many pupils.
1t so happened that Daniel G.. Wal
dron the proprietor of company of
bellringers, CHANGED to hear Mrs. Pack
ard and her sister Belle Durgin sing,
and Immediately engaged them at a
good salary to travel with the company.
They met with great success from
Maine to California and later Mrs.
Packard married Mr.. Waldron.
1t was known at the time that Wal
dron had a previous wife living in
Portsmouth, but it was believed that
he must have secured a divorce be-
fore his second marriage. OF late
years Mr.. and Mrs. Waldron have re-
sided in California, where a son of
Mrs. Waldron by her first husband also
lives. His name is Charles Packard.
Mrs. Packard Waldron was much re-
spected and admired by a large circle
OF friends here. Her life since she was
married has been a happy one, and IT
is thought by her friends here that she
Will be able to prove that Waldron had
divorce from his first wife, who has
been the principal contestant in the
will case

CLOSING OF INDIAN MINTs.
The Effects as Reviewed by a
British Journal.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Times has
published two-column special article
to-day reviewing the effects of closing
the Indian mints, in connection with the
visit of the American Bimetallic Com
mission. 1t says:
THE closing saved the Indian Govern
ment from the losses incident to a heavy
fall in exchange, and consequently from
a disastrous increase in the burden of
it's gold obligations. 1t is undoubtedly
true that it also helped to keep down
the gold value of silver bullion, but may
not the question be raised whether the
low price of silver is necessarily disas-
trous? India, which has purchased also
largely since 1898, has been the only
real wholesale customer for silver.
Other customers are of the retail order.
"The delicate adjustment of the reia-
tive price of the rupee and silver for
merly existing has been rudely shatter-
ed by recent events. Since 1896 the ru-
pee has risen. and silver has fallen. The
fact is, the forces now acting upon the
price of silver have become too tremen-
dous to be dominated by such delicate
influences as preceded the defeat of
Bryan's silver party and Japan's adop-
have proved causes too potent to be
withstood."
The article, in concluding, says: 1.-THE
closing Of the mints was justified, ard
all that is now needed to bring a great
experiment to a successful ending is a
little courage, as we'll as resources on
the part of the financiers of the Indian
Empire. At the same time the plain
and straightforward language is advis-
able upon one point. The India states
men tampered too long with bimetal =
lism. This Irritation, which seems so in
nocent and innocuous. has already cost
them dear But for that the Govern
ment would have assented to the clos
ing of the mints to that of 1893"
The article comments on the "charac-
teristic crudeness and boldness of
American diplomacy in sending a BIZ
metallic Commission to ask for the re-
opening of the Indian mints, while at
the same time dealing the worst posi-
BILE blow at British commerce by pass
ing the Dingley tariff. -

tie of Five Rounds.

BUFFALO, Aug. 16.-"Kid" MOZART
land knocked out Tom McCune of Col
umbus, o., before the Olympic Athletic
Club tonight after one minute of hard
fighting. Mcfarland opened with a
hard swing on the stomach. McCune
clasped his hand ON his stomach, and
the crowd yelled foul" but the ref
cree ordered the fight to proceed.
Mcfarland jabbed McCune in the
stomach, and the latter fell ON his back
and writhed around. The house was
in an uproar, but after an exam
inatiOn by a physician, who declared
the blows We're not foul the referee
declared Mcfarland the winner. Nc
Cune weighed 1862 and Mcfarland
137.
Kid Johnson (colored) of Evans
ville Ind, who had previously chal-
lenged the winner from the ringside,
was put ON in McCune's stead. Johnson
put up a whirlwind battle for five
rounds, landing many stinging blows,
but was Finally fioored by a right-hand
swing, and was counted out.
The preliminary was a ten-round bout
between Homer Selby of indianapolis
('Kid" McCoy's brOtheD and William
Wallace of Columbus, o., at 40
pounds. Mccoy was behind his broth
er. Wallace was knocked squarely off

IN NEED OF BIG DOCKS.
Those the United States Now Have
Not Large Enough.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS - Admiral
Bunce, commander of the New York
Navy Yard, and Commodore Chadwick
chief of the Equipment Bureau and
Naval Constructor Daniel We're in con-
ference with Acting Secretary Roose-
velt ait the Navy Department to-day
considering in a general way the sub
ject of dry docks for the vessels of the
United States, preliminary to the prep
araticn of the quest ion of dry docks TO
be submitted to Congress al it's next
session.
The necessity which compelled the
Indiana to go to Halifax to be docked
has aroused the Navy Department to
the Importance of having a system of
docks which can be utilized for any Of
our vessels.
There have been many attempts in
the past to secure better docking facili-
ties Several plans for the building OF
large docks have been proposed. but
none has yet been found satisfactory
Navy officers have urged the import
ance Of having a large dock either at
Boston or Plymouth, N H. also at
Norfolk Va, and at some pointe on the
gulf, possibly in the mouth of the Mis-
issippi near Algfers. La, and another
on the Pacific Coast.
1t is expected that reasons for more
docks and the urgent necessity of two
or more capable of holding the largest
battleships win be sent out in the pro-
ject to be submitted to Congress by
the Navy Department.

ing price for September was from Soc
to S51ac, compared with SIC at the close
of tine session Saturday. 1t touched
S4Ac for an instant, and the started
on an excited whirl, which first carried
it up to S634c, from that down again to
S4$4c, and once more as high aus S61sc.
and all that within an hour after the
opening
The rush for cover revived the talk
of a September squeeze. One noticeable
feature was the absence of the Septem-
ber bull crowd from tn pit, the market
receiving but little help from that di-
rection. Crop reports from the North
west We're almost uniformly bad, and
this fact became one of the important
factors in sustaining the market all
day.
The stocks in regular elevators here
are now 2,525, 600 bushels, or 74,OOO
bushels less than they We're a week ago.
The worlds shipments to Europe last
week We're 100000 bushels, compared
with 5,035, 600 bushels ON the CORE
spending week of the year before. The
quantity on ocean passage increased
2,240,G00 bushels. Liverpool was 11ad
higher to begin with, but closed at an
advance for the day of Id for spot and
13sd for September delivery.
After the first hour the market kept
jumping about in a nervous way ON a
rather small amount of business. An
order to buy or sell $4,000 bushels
would in itself move the price up or
down 14c per bustel. The price of
September bobbed UP and down num-
Der of times between S514c and Sic, with
the tendency in the last hour towards
the lower quotation, S512c being asked
at the close.

ASKS BooNEs DIsBARMENT.
A Sensation Created in the u. S.
Circuit Court at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-Alhon-
so B. Bowers, the plaintiff in the ia
nous dredger cases recently decided in
his favor by the Federal Courts, ere
ated a decided sensation to-day by
filing a petition in the United States
Circuit Court for the disbarment of
John l.. Boone, the well-known patent
attorney, and charging him with un-
professional conduct.
He alleges in his petition that after
withdrawing from the employment of
Bowers. who had been fighting for his
rights for nine long years, Boone Of
fered his services to the defendant in
a suit brought by Bowers in Illinois,
and intimated that the decree in Bow
er's favor in the Won Schmidt case
was procured by fraud, and could not
stand
Mr.. Boone claims that when Bowers
released him he signed a document
permitting him to accept a retainer
from any one and absolving him from
all duties under his contract with Bow
ers. He also intimated that Bowers is
not responsible, years of litigation hav-
ing tended to unhinge his mind.

by lightning during to-day's storm. The
most serious loss was at Copenhagen,
Lewis County, where Planknell's saw
mill, valued at $4,000. was destroyed.
A cyclone passed owed the eastern end
of Fulton County. Three farm houses
and many barns and outbuildings were
completely demolished. Many people

LEGION OF HONOR.
BILL ASKING THAT A RECEIV.
Err BE APPOINTED.
Outcome of Fight Which Has
Been of Many Months
Standing.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. = 1t is an
nounced in Jersey City that papers
have been filed in the United States
Court in Boston on behalf of James
Mcnamara of Jersey City for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the Ameri-
can Legion of Honor The petitioner
asks that the receivers shall take
charge of all moneys paid in as assess
ments by the members of the order and
that the Legion of Honor be enjoined
from separating moneys received by it
from former assessments, as is now
done.
The bin sets forth that when McNa-
mara became a member of the Legion
of Honor each life insurance certificate
was a charge upon all moneys received
from assessments and the number of
deaths regulated the number of assess
ments ordered; that on December i,
1896, a change was made and persons
holding certificates We're divided into
two classes and that the moneys re-
ceived from each class We're held sepa-
rate and We're charged only with the
payment of certificates in the class to
which the moneys belonged, thereby
changing the object of the original con-
tracts without the assent of the mem
bers who made the contracts and also
increasing the number of assessments.
The filing of this petition for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the Ameri-
can Legion Of Honor is the continual
ton of the fight which has been made
by some of the members against the
order More than year ago sixteen
councils or branches of the organiza-
ton in this city and Brooklyn seeded
because of the increasing number of
assessments. There were in these
branches about 1000 Germans. They
contended that the assessments were
made so frequently that they were un-
able to bear the burden.
