A Leavenworth, Kansas, telegram says: "After lying in mans coffin for more than thirty years, a will has been exhumed, tbe terms of which are likely to increase troublesome litigatio" among the heirs of the man who had the docu- ment buried with him. Jacob K;ssengen was the man. The will vas found by accident, because, when Kissengen died, although a will was believed to have been made, nobody could find it. So the heirs went to law and have been at it for three decades. A few days ago a dis pute arose, which could be cleared up by the Iamly Bible. The grave was opened and the book taken out. It was in a good state of preservation, and, when opened, to the surprise of every body, dis closed will. By the terms of the doc. ument found in the grave, the property of Kissengen is divided equally between
 five children, one of them residing in Germany, and born of Kssengen's first wife. This is where the new trouble be- gan. None of the four American heirs ever heard of the fathers first marrlage."

Hon. P. o. Vickery's Communication.

The Journal presents its readers,
this morning.. with an article by Hon
T. o. Vickery on the proposed changes
IL our city charter. Certainly no man
in Augusta has been more devoted to
it's best interests or has had a wider
experience in its affairs. His views will
carry great weight with the voters OF
our city. The Journal had no purpose
in its article of yesterday save to pre-
sent as clearly as possible the object
of the bill to be submitted to the Leg
islature by the Board of Trade commit
tee We did express the opinion that
as the question was one to be ultimate
ly decided by the people of our city
there would be no occasion for con-
troversy before the Legislature. We
are glad to know that Mr.. Vickery
holds the same view of the matter.
1t is "a family affair."" and the wishes
of the people will settle it one way or
the other. We shall be content with
their verdict.
We agree cordially with Mr.. Fickery
that Augusta has not been badly
governed under the old charter. In
deed, when this matter of the pro-
posed changes in our charter was first
brought to our attention we said, in
commenting editorially upon it:
The wonder has always been. under
cur present system. that so many of our
best citizens should be found to give
so generously of their time and thought
to the conduct of city affairs. serving
practically without remuneration, and
subjected to the many annoyances and
criticisms incident to the performance
of such duties. Indeed, we believe that
our city governments. from the adop-
ton of the present charter, will COM
pare favorably with those of any city
in Maine"
The movement for changes in meth
DDS of municipal administration has
extended pretty generally among the
cities of New England during the past
few years. A committee of our Board
of Trade has put some of the ideas of
this movement into definite form for
the approval or disapproval of our
citizens. Whatever may be the result
it will certainly be of value as a formal
expression of the taxpayers of Au-
gusta upon propositions that have at
tracted considerable attention in re-
cent years.

Bryan's Successor.

1t is extremely probable that the al
lied silver mining interests are cast
ing about for an eligible successor to
Mr.. Bryan 1t has for some time been
apparent that he would not again be
given the position of advance agent
of the silver trust. That combination
has no sentiment and will endeavor to
set its moneys worth in the way of
candidates at least. 1t is very much
alive, judging from indications, and
still sowing the seed of fiatism in a
quiet way and planning for the future.
Il is to early. of course, to assume who
will be the successor Of Bryan but
few will altogether overlook the bids
that are being made for the place.
One of the most noticeable of these is
the speech made by James f. O'Don-
nell in the Illinois Legislature, a few
Gays since putting in nomination for
Senator John p. Altgeld He didn't
| exactly cruelty the Republican party
| on cross of gold but he essayed to
lift the crown of thorns from Altgeld' $
brow or at least ease the pain by
such panegyrics as this: IF the mo-
| tives Of men be known in heaven, then
the angels speak his tAltgeld's) name
III sweetest accents" OF course Alt
geld is not running for office in heaven
hut both he and the silver trust appear
| to like the association, in the mouths
of their advocates, of their names
with heavenly things. This fact as
well as the effect of Mr.. O'Donnelrs
speech were not lost upon the sensitive
ambition of another Democratic ora
| tor, by the name of Sullivan, in that
| assemblage, who FASTENED to expose
his lightning rod in this sublime flight
| Ever since Christ was borne by a don
| key, from the wrath of Herod, ]
| thanked God the donkey was the SYM
Dol CT the Democratic party" If this
sort of thing keeps on there is likely to
