THE HOLT WILL CASE AGAIN
The Heirs -at-Law to Get Some of
the Estate.
JUDGE HAGNER REVERSED
Justice Alvey Handed Down "a De-
cision Ordering the Administrator
To Turn Over to Col. Sterrett and
Others a Considerable Portion of
the Estate

Part OF the estate OF the late Judge Ad-
time ago the object OF much dispute, is
to be divided among the heirs-at-law.
That is the effect OF an opinion rem
dered yesterday by Chief Justice Alvey
in the court of appeals, in reversing the
decision o. Judge Hagner in the probate
court
The case was brought upon the appca-
ton OF Col William q. Sterrett, Margaret
Bowmer, John w. Holt, and other heirs
against the National Safe Deposit, Saw
ingS and Trust Company for the distripu-
ton of a certain part OF the estate of the
deceased, bequeathed TO Miss Elizabeth
Hynes, in the alleged will, but which she
repudiated by abandoning her claim to
the same and conveying her interest to
the heirs-at-law. The lower jurisdiction
decided gainSt the alleged will, and Luke
Devln and Josephine Throckmorton gave
notice OF an appeal. Bond was fixed at
$4,000. Pending final settlement of the
| case, the estate remained in custody of the
| Safe Deposit Company. lfs Miss Hynes
| had abandoned her interest under the
will and removed it from litigation, the
! heirs-at-law filed petition in the probate
court for the distribution of such part as
| she had assigned to them.
IN replying to tins, stipulation was filed
| signed by counsel for the bencficiaries un-
| der the will and the heirs S-at-law. Ii agreed
to the relief prayed on two conditions, viz,
that the appeal bond should he reduced to
$500, and that 81 0,00O should be reserved
by the administrator from distribution to
meet certain claims against Miss Hynes in
case TIE will should he sustained in the
higher jurisdiction. The administrator did
not quite agree with the others, however,
and Contended that Washington Holt had
testified as to the existence of another
will. The administrator claimed that it
| might also he held liable for the amount
| distributed. Judge Hagner refused n dis
| tribution of the portion, but this decision
! is reversed by Chief Justice Alvey, who
says: An order from the court accompany
! ing reduction in tile supersedeas bond
would be ample authority to the admins
| traitor 10 make the distribution. 1t is clear
| beyond doubt that an order approving a
! substitute appeal bond and directing dis
! tribution in accordance with the prayer OF
! the petition will afford ample protection
| of the administrator for the money or funds
| so paid out

the anrrDavisites We're IN the ma jority
to start with. OF the seventeen present
II was known that nine would vote against
Tatifying the nomination OF Mr. Davis.
After little preliminary business, Mr.
NJ L. Sullivan, q friend OF Mr.. Davis,
appeared as proxy for Mr.. Donovan, OF
the Eighth district. objection was raised
against MI. Sullivan on the ground that
he was not a resident of the Eighth dis
trict, but lived in the Second district. and
represented that district III the late city
convention, which elected Mattingly. Nor

point was sustained by Chairman Kalbfus
and Mr.. sullivan was ruled out.

actual resident OF the Eighth district, came
In and asked that he be al.owed 10 represent

The firm of Barnard & Co has gone out
of existence. The reason given by the
Barnard boys for selling out is that busi-
ness had been terribly dull on the street
There is no question of this fact. There
are great many Washington brokers, and
it is probable that they are not availing
themselves of the whole possible amount
of speculation in Washington. Potentially :
this city is probably the greatest speculative
city in the United States As IL is, with a
great many brokers' offices, there is no
corresponding amount Of speculation here
just at present, not even as much pro
portionately as there is in other cities.
