MICHAEL CRANES WILL.
Suit for Ejectment Filed by His
Sister Against the Executors.

Mary E. Sweeny has filed snit in eject
nent against r. Ross Perry and the Ma
tional Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust
Company to recover eight houses and lots
in different parts of the city, which We're
the property of her brother, the late MI
chael Crane, who died in 1894. Judge j.
NJ Wilson, j. A. johnson and Charles a.
Kerquin are her counsel.
Mr.. Crane left a will, by the terms of
which his property, both real and personal,
was given to Mr.. Perry and the National
Safe Derosit, Savings and Trust Company
in trust, to be converted into money three
wears after bis death, the proceeds to be
divided equally among the four following
institutions: st. AIMS Orphan Asylum,
st, ,Josephs Orphan Asylum, st. Vincent's
Orphan Asylum and the Little Sisters of
the Poor.
When the will was offered for probate
his sister Mrs Sweeny, who was his sole
beir-at-aw, objected, and the orphans
court thereupon sent issues to the circuit
court. to be tried by jury to determine
whether the decedent who was quite an
old man, was possessed of testamentary
capacity at the time of the making of the
will and whether he had acted under an
due influence. These issues were tried In
December, 1895, and the verdict of the
1ury was in favor of sustaining the WILL
The orphan IS court thereupon admitted The
will to probate.
why doesn't the probate of the Will
settle the natter" asked Times re
porter of Mr.. Johnson.
THE probating of the WILL he replied,
latter the trial of issues in the circuit
court. established it as valid so far as the
personal property of the testator was con-
cerned: but the suit in eiectment now
brought by the heir at-law proceeds upon
the idea that the will has not been estab-
lished as a nuniuent of title to real estate.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has declared that the orphans court is
without jurisdiction except as to personal
propertv In the circuit court, where
Will contests are tried on issues sent from
the orphans court, judgments are not en-
tered on the findings of the jury: but the
findings are certified to the orphans
court. whose judgments can extend, as
said bv the Supreme Court, only to per-
sonal property The orphans court can
not pronounce a Judgment that shall es-
tablish a paper as sufficient to pass title
to real estate; and the verdict of jury,
independently of the judgment which is
entered upon it, is Of no validity whatever
as affecting the rights of the parties.

A double explosion at the Grafton
B. & o. shops seriously burned four
men, Wednesday. Both explosions
occurred within twenty minutes of
each other, and as the result of an
attempt to refill gasoline supply
tank, which holds a half barrel of
gasoline, distant only few yards
from a specially constructed gasoline
burner, by means of which the en-
ployes of the engine shop were en-
gagged in heating tire on a locomo-
tive for the purpose of removing it.
Scarcely had the air supply been shut
off and the top of the tank removed,
when the yapor caught fire from the
red hot burner, and violent explosion
followed. The second explosion was
almost identical, and was the result
of a second effort to fill the tank,
after a ridiculously short space of
time.

posTEN NOT 4 CANDIDATE.
Another Nan Will Be Elected Colonel
of The First Regiment Il. of r.

A special from Charleston says in
reference to matter which is of in
terest to Morgantown people:
A surprise regarding the election of
the first regiment of uniform rank
was sprung upon the arrival of the
first installment of the Wheeling par
ty. 1t came in the nature of the an
nouncement of the candidacy of
Capt. Chas. f Geiger of Couer De
Leon company Of Wheeling for that
place. Major MCGEE of Wheeling is
also a candidate and it was thought
the fight was between him and the
present incumbent, S A. Poster, of
Morgantown.
NOT A CANDIDATE.
On the contrary Colonel Posten is
not candidate, but he has thrown
his support and influence TO Geiger,
which practically insures his election.
Major MCGEE and party arrived last
night four hours later than Geiger.
When he arrived he found the latter
in full control of two-thirds of the
votes of the company, and it, is I'M
derstood that he has nearly given up
hopes of securing the place, and ru-
mors this morning are that they will
endeavor to throw the colonelcy to a
dark horse living in the interior of
the state in order to defeat Geiger.
This is hardly possible, as Geiger has
Captain Baker and Colonel Posten as
chief supporters, and their influence
controls the votes of the interior.
The election takes place Wednesday
afternoon.

of the West Hoboken Baptist Church. On
a recent day occdrred the anniversary of

cordingly. Mrs. Pattberg was let into a
portion of the secret, and just as her hap
py partner of joys and sorrows was pre-
pairing to attend a choir rehearsal, a ring
of the door bell announced the arrival of
some unexpected visitors.
Mr.. Pattberg himself responded, and
was very much surprised to find his musi-
cal associates gathered without. They
received a cordial welcome, but the sur
prised host had scarcely recovered his
composure when one of the party on be-
half of the members of the choir pre-
sented to him and his wife a handsome
lamp. MI. Pattberg accepted the gift,
and thanked the donors for their kindly
remembrance.
The party were then invited to partake
of a repast which had been prepared by
Mrs. Pattberg without her spouse's know
ledge. This, too, was in the nature OF a
surprise.
Those who participated in the pleasant
event were:-Mr. and Mrs. j. 6. Synes,
Miss Grace Ramsay. Miss Laura Hodge,
Miss Annie Yoe, M. and 9. Robertshau,
Miss f. Barnes, organist; Miss Mershell,

The ssJeurnaru speaks for ITS Party

1ne J0HIu8IS SHcaAt
The journal continued its attack upon
the Republican party yesterday with
vigor and efficiency. 1t showed thai the
Republican majority elected to the Boaro
of Freebooters sold themselves like sneep
in the interests of a clique of gamblers.
This was the deal by which E. w.
Woolley. the Boss of the Board, incl
dentaIly became its Secretary at a rat
salary. Then it showed how the two Re
publican Police Commissioners, who con-
stitute the majority of the Board. acting
under the coercion of the party machine,
iuggled the police captains around so as
to make things easy for the policy back
ers. The journal says Colonel Aber-
nethy and Mr.. Pete West were reluc-
tant to do this. But they had not the
courage or manhood to resist the ma
chine, and so the gamblers triumphed-
These are shocking revelations of party
deprayity. They seem to prove that the
Republican machine in Hudson county
occupied the same deadly position in re-
spect to public morals that Tammany did
in New York. Controlling the entire ma
chinery of government, as it has for
nearly i've years, it used its power to en-
rich its chieftains with money wrested as
a tribute from crime.
We trust every voter will bear these
facts IN mind when he goes to the polls on
November Q. Let it be remembered that
these revelations are not partisan fabrica-
tions. for they come from the official organ
of the Republican party. enjoying its
city, county and State patronage. and as
suming to speak for it. The charges
made cannot, therefore, be questioned.
They come, as it were, from the heart of
the party. They are a confession of guilt,
and if eport speaks true there is no one
in the Republican party better qualified to
make the confession thar the journal
itself.
