NEW YORK, April 22-When the
New 1ork operators IN securities got
down to Wall Street this rnoirning
they found cabled reports from London
indicating somewhat feverish activity
in the speculation in Americans with
a tendency to rebound from yester-
days depression. Cabled Enquiries
from the other side indicated an eager
anxiety there ITO know what track
Wall street would take This was suf-
f1cient to adlnonish the bears who sold

their contracts. The covering OF the
shorts was covered with some buying

Ehe market was highly speculative all
day. In the railroad list the grang-
ers and the internationals led in the
trading. The conditions to the worlds
money ma rkets had salient effect on
the security markets. Although rates
for time money and commercial paper
remained firm, call money was to be

Tlhe resultant Relief of THE London

easier money there and relieved the

conditions were reflected back on New

Purpose Of Executors Oh
CrOSSley Estate.
WANT ACCOUNTING ALSO.
The Respondent Claims He Bought
the Cr0ssley Interest.
A PAYING BUSINESS INVOLVED

The controversies which have existed
between the executors OF the last will
and testament OF Robert Crossley
and Alfred Harrison for some time in
regard to an accounting and other mat
ters concerning the business of manu-
featuring chemicals in Pawtucket. were
heard at some length by the Appellate
Court today. The business carried on
for some Is years under the firm name
of Alfred Harrison & Co, though it
started with a capital of but $3.50 put
in by each of three partners, has, II Is
admitted, proved a most remunerative
one.
James II. Crossley, Lawton Crossley
and Isaac Smith are the executors of
the. last will and testament of Robert
Crossley, who in 1884 with Alfred Har-
rison and a third party entered into the
business of manufacturing chemicals,
and they some time ago filed a bill in
equity i'm which they seek, in addition
to other relief, that an accounting be
taken; that a receiver be appointed To
round up the business and sell the
same, and also that Harrison be re-
quired to give an account OF the profits
of the business since he has conducted
Ii alone. 1t is further averred in the
bill that Robert Crossley died Septem-
Der l. 1897, and that since that time
MIR. Harrison who has continued the
business, has refused to let the ex-
ecutors examine the accounts OF the
business, though ii is admitted that
person who qualified as an executor inn
mediately after the death of Mr.. Cross
ley went over the books, and with Mr..
Harrison struck a balance. Mr.. Har-
rison, IL is alleged. has appropriated
all the profits of the business since the
death OF his partner.
In his answer the respondent denies
a number of the allegations made in
| the compainants' bill, and says he has
| not refused TO wind up the copartner-
| ship, but has purchased the rights OF
| the respondents; that, owing to litiga-
| ton over the will of the deceased, he
| has paid no share of the profits over
because he knew not who to pay them
to- and that there is i'm the articles of
copartnership provision that the
widow or executors of the deceased
| partner shall leave their interest in the
| business standing. The complainants
rejoin that the respondent knew who
were the legal representatives of the
| deceased: that all litigation over his
| will Is ended, and that the respondent
| has been notified that neither the
widow nor the executors desire to keep
their interest in the business.
James II. Crossley. one of the ex-
| ecutors. testified that the Friday after
| his brothers death Mr.. Harrison came
| to his home and demanded the books
! OF the copartnership, they having been
kept by the father of witness. The
| books were taken to the city bank

THE MEMORIAL BUSINESS.

An appeal was sent to me the other
very latest memorial. In my humble
judgment, the memorial business is
being greatly overdone. No sooner
does a person die than at once it oc-
ours to every one who has a charitable
or ornamental axe to grind that the de-
parted one should be used as a whet-
stone, and the world at large Is circu-
larized for money in aid of this or that
object-possibly very excellent, but
with which the connection of the per-
son in whose name the appeal is made
Is of the shadowiest
People are getting tired OF this sort of
post-mortem cadging. 1t Is felt that If
a person wishes his memory to live by
a gift to q charity, he should himself
have left legacy for that purpose.
That he approved of 1t and supported it
when alive is no reason why his friends
and his acquaintance should keep his
memory green by subscribing in his
name to it when he is dead. Charity
not only covers great many sins, but
a great deal of nonsense; and it is high
time that this special form of nonsense
should be abated. If any one feels in
clined to relieve his sadness at the loss
of a friend by benefiting some institu-
ton, by all means let him. But pro-
test against the practice of a few
friends forming themselves into a COM
mittee, and Fostering others with cir
culars asking them to subscribe, or the
still more common practice of parties
connected with some religious or cha RI
table institution using the death of
some well-known man as a lever for
raising cash.-London Truth.
