RIvERHEAD. l.. l., Oct. 27.-Mrs. Anna Cor
bin Borrowc, wife of Hallet Alsop Borrowe and
a daughter Of the late Austin Ccrbin. seeks to
compel the executors Of her fathers estate to
pay over to her Immediately the 500 600 be-
queathei to her by her father. The executors
are Mrs. Corbin, Austin Corbin, Jr., and George
S. Edgcll. The order to show cause why the ex-
ccutors should not pay tho legacy came up be-
fore Surrogate Petty this afternoon. The ex-
ecutors opposed the application and set up that
they had no knowledge that the petitioner de-
sired 10 use the money to purchase a residence.
taking title in her own name, which is the con-
dition under which the bequest is made. The
executors further contcnded that there are no
available assets and that they have been
Obliged to deposit their own personal property

There is still an outstanding Indebtedness or
more than 100000 secured by collateral worth
$500, 600.
Counsel for Mrs. Borrowe declared that the
standing debts, and he alleged that the value Of
the estate was much greater than the executors
had reported.
Mrs. Borrowc alleges and the executors deny
that the ~testator owned securities and proper
ties valued AT. $5,43l 900. Creditors with
claims aggregating SSOO,OO0, upon which suit
has been Instituted against the estate, opposed
the payment of the legacy to Mrs; Borrowe un-
til all the debts of the ~testator had been paid.
Mrs. Borrowe also filed u long line Of objec.
tions to the final accounting of the executors.
Shc declares that the accounting docs not IN
clude all the property; that stocks a~rc:rated be.
low their value. and she attacks the sale OF the
5000 shares of Long Island Railroad Com
pany stock at 4215. saying the executors can
not have credit for the sale TO the Union Trust
company because 1t was not a bonn-tidc sale for
full value, and she alleges that the Union Trust
Company was not the real purchaser, but that
the-real parties in interest were friends and as
~sociates of George 5. Edgell. The contestant
asks that the executors he charged with the diff
ference between the price at which the stock
was sold and it" market value at the time of
the death OF Mr.. Corbin.
In the matter OF the contest over the account
ing Judge Petty will appoint IA referee. AS
to the application to compel the payment of the
legacies the Court reserved its decision.

HAvANA. via Key West, Oct 28.-The excite
ment among the volunteers In Havana over the

residents here and for those who have recently
dared to oppose the policy OF the Captain-Gen-
eral. especially the editors and members of the
association which owns the newspaper Diario

volunteers carry out their plan of making q
demonstration In. favor Of Gen. Weyier before
he starts for Spain.
Though Consul General Lee Is greatly hated
by the Spaniards, his absence increases the ap.
prehensiOns OF the American residents, who,
when he is in Havana, have confidence in his
flTmness and courage In face OF a crisis.

A very beautiful collection Of antique bronzcs

Tho collection consists of fRurine, domestic
articles, one group and one statuette, and tho
bronzes are of Etruscan, Roman. and Pompeiian
workmanship, the Oldest OF them belonging
probably TO the fifth century B. G. 1t is said
that the collection was found near Rome, but
tho restrictions which the Italian Government
puts upon the expectation Of antiques has, as in
many cases, hindcred the experts in determin-

cite, about four feet high. Is that Of
Geta, brother and co-Emperor of Caracalla, who
ruled in the third century A. ID. Caracalla
caused Geta TO be murdered. and commanded
that all existing representations OF him should
be destroyed. How this figure escaped destruc-
