Patrolman Mullins, of the Second Pre-
cinct, arrested Leon c. Pleeteplace, of
No. 25S West Twenty-first street, New
York City, last night at midnight as ia
suspicious person. He was found loiter-
ing about Hamilton Park. The man hal

and acting in a suspicious manner.
When Mullins asked him what he want
ed he said that he was waiting for his
wife, who was to meet him on her way
from Philadelphia. He told his story in
such a queer. manner that Mullins decid-
ed to arrest him. AT the station, he
said his wife was on her way from Phil

CITIZENS OUT AGAINST The DUST.

There is considerable complaint among
the Grove street merchants and residents
against the dust nuisance, which has be-
come almost intolerable. A great many
attribute it to the sprinkling of sand by
the North Hudson County Railway Com
pany on its tracks. But the dust nuis-
ance is complained of in almost every
street in the city. 1t appears to be worse
in Grove street. however, than in many
other thoroughfares. One can write.
with his fingers. his name on windows
and on furniture in homes where the win
dows are obliged to be open for ventila-
tion during this heated spell. Housewives
as well as merchants are complaining
bitterly. The merchants, who make dis
plays Of their goods along the sidewalks,
find them, shortly after being placed
there, presenting sorry looking spec
tacle instead of tempting mercantile
wares. A great many pedestrians appear
to be half choked. Everybody on the
thoroughfare is praying for rain.

JUDGE BLAIR,s NEW ORDER.
'Comp1 ication Of the Quail Case
Strengthened Out.

Judge Blair issued a new order this
morning for the regulation of the practice
in his court. The trouble about the Quail
case doubtless prompted him to issue the
order. Mccormick and Hendrick were
the attorneys of record in the case and
after Quail's conviction and sentence to
twenty years in State prison they took
out a writ of error. Afterward Quail en-
gagged Lawyers Speer and Noonan and
they applied for a new trial Mr.. Nc
Cornick insisted upon remaining in the
case until his fee was paid and Judge
Blair refused to recognize Messrs. Speer
and Noonan because they were not the
attorneys of record. This is the new
sorder:-
l. Hereafter writs of error presented to
this Court in criminal cases will not be
marked, or endorsed presented" or re-
cognized, or bail in error taken unless the
writ of error is under the seal OF the
Court out of which the writ issues, and
signed by the clerk of such court. The
Court deems the above the proper prac-
tice to be hereafter followed
2. Attorneys other than the attorneys
of record appearing in the ~cause by writs
of error will not be recognized unless they
present a substitution from the former
attorney in the cause, or otherwise satisfy
the Court that they are the attorneys of
the plaintiff in error

BIER FOR THE MouRNERs TOO.
John Kipp's Thoughtful Preparation
For His Funeral.

John Kipp, an inmate of the New Jer-
sey Home for Disabled Soldiers, made
some queer provisions in his will which
has just been filed in Surrogate Lillis'
office for probate. He directs his exec
utors to expend 800 in preparing his re-
mains for burial; $50 for music at his
funeral; $50 for head and foot stone
and for the outside box for his casket;
S16 for beer for the mourners; SIS for
tobacco and pipes, and he explicitly di-
rects that each pipe shall be ornamented
with red, white and blue stripes; 81 for
opening his grave and $50 for carriages.
He also directs the executor to have his
remains removed to the corner of Card
ner street and Bergenline avenue, Union
Hill, and thence in his family plot in the
Weehawken Cemetery. The inscription
on his headstone is to be-

HEHL s WILL CONTESTED.
It Is Said He Had a Wife
Living When He Married
His Second Wife.

George Mehl, nephew OF the late
Emil P. H. Mehl, acting for himself and
his brothers, has decided to try and
break his uncle's will, and it was expects
ed that there would be some sensational
developments, but the facts in the case
SO far as they have been ascertained. do
not justify that expectation. Emil Mehl
was member of the firm of John J. Mehl
& Son., pocketbook manufacturers al
Webster avenue and Hutton street. Hd
died on February 2S, 1888, at his home No<
912 Summit avenue. His will was fled
with the Surrogate and admitted to proc
bate on April 1S. The entire estates
which is estimated to be worth 900, I'd
left to his widow, Catherine Mshl, with
power to dispose of it as she sees fit- She
is the sole executrix, and is not required
to give any bonds. Besides the widows
four children survive Mr.. Mehl. They
are. John J., Annie D., William II. and
Hattie Mehl. The will is dated February
s. 1898.
Lawyer Alexander, who is associated in
the case with former Judge Hoffman and
William H. Speer, Jr, made an appIica-
tion to Judge Blair in the Orphans
Court yesterday afternoon, to have tbs
probate of the will set aside. Ths
ground on which the proposed contest Is
based is that George Mehl and his relatives
are the legal heirs, because when Emil
married the woman who is now his wid-
ow and the mother of his children, he had
a wife living in Brooklyn from whom he
was never legally divorced. He never
lived with her. but hat was due, it Is
alleged to the influence of his family
Undue influence in the making of the win
is also alleged No other branch Of the
family is taking amy part in the contest
Lawyer Otto Grouse and Carl G. A.
Schuman are counsel for the widow.
Mr.. Grouse did not care to discuss the
matter, but said THAT the contest is abb
solutely without merit. Emil Mehl was
married to woman in Brooklyn, but was
divorced from her. A copy of the decree
of divorce is in the possession OF the law
yers. His first wife is still living I'M
Brooklyn, and is happily married and the
mother of several children She has not
dntimated any intention of aiding the con-
testants. On the twenty fifth anniversary
of Emil MehPs marriage. which was cele-
brated about a year ago. he and his wife
were remarked according to am old Ger
man custom. The case is set down for a
hearing ON June q. Emil Mei1l served as
a member of the Board of Education dur-
ing Mayor WanSer'S term.

WILL Be POPULAR LOAN.
Smallest Subscription to
New Bonds Will Be
Filled First.

WASHINGTON, June II, 189S.-Assistant
Secretary vanderlip, who has had per-
sonal charge of the details of the pro-
posed bond ISSUE said today:
The subscription for $500 000, 900 of the
three per cent bonds just authorized by
Congress will be opened by the Treasury
Department as soon as the bill is signed
by the President and will close at three
F. M. July a. This gives ample time even
for the most remote sections of the coun-
try to receive complete information re-
garding the details of the issue and to
have subscriptions from such points reach
the treasury. Every channel will be used
to disseminate In the widest possible man
ner information regarding this issue and
e make ma In eyeEy sazases sE2e7
cess1uI popular loan. Al great NUM-
ber OF subscriptions have been received in
advance Of the passage of the act and
there is every reason to believe that the
issue will be largely oversubscribed. BY
the terms of the law the allotment will be
peculiar. The law provides that the
smallest subscriptions shall be first all
loted, and the allotments made inversely
In accordance with the size of the sub
scriptions. That will result in a line be-
ing sharply drawn at some point and all
subscriptions In amount below thar
point will be awarded in full while all
subscriptions for an amount exceeding
that sum will receive no allotment what
ever.
Every precaution is taken to prevent in
diyiduals repeating subscriptions and
thus getting an undue advantage The
law provides that all individual subscrip-
tions NUT be allowed first, and therefore
subscriptions from corporations and as
sociations other than individuals will only
receive an allotment in the event that
the individual subscriptions fall short of
the $780, 100000 which are at present offer
ed
The Treasury will print about 100000
subscription blanks and circulars of In
formation. They will be put In the hands
Of every money order postmaster and in
every banking Office and express office at
the earliest possible moment. Circulars
now being prepared will fully set forth
the terms under which subscriptions Will

Santiago from jamaica for five days.
Commodore Schley readily granted per-
mission for her to go in the port, but
when the officer returned aboard, she sig
nailed her thanks and headed back for
jamaica 1t was the opinion that she was
surprised at the news of the Spanish
fleets presence and ran back to inform
her Government at once.
In the afternoon the squadron was re-
inforced by the addition of the cruiser
New Orleans, originally part of the
Flying Squadron. This makes the bat
tie line very strong and insures victory
should the Spanish ships come out IT is
not believed that they will venture out
at this time. The collier Merrimac and
the collier Sterling, with a reserve sup
ply of 5000 tons of coal are with the
