FIGHT FOR MILLION
Contest Over the VIII of Stephen A.
Harrison of Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 23.-Davfd c.
Green was appointed special admins
traitor of the estate of the late Stephen
A. Harrison this morning, against the
strenuous opposition Of the widow.
Mrs. Alice w. Harrison. Among the
sensational developments in the con-
test was an affidavit by Samuel NJ.
Green, brother of the administrator and
a son-in-law of the deceased, which dis
puted the statement made by the widow
in her affidavit that she did not know
the contents of the will Of her hus-
band.
The AFFIDAVIT of Mr.. Green directly
charges undue influence upon Mr.. Har-
rison while he was in poor health and
of falling mind before his death, and
that in that condition he made the al
legged will brought forward in this pro-
ceeding, and that it is directly contrary
to his expressed wishes when in good
mental condition. Mr.. Harrison left an
estate valued at $500, 900, to be divided
between his widow and three daughters.

DIED IN PERJURY.
Surprising Discovery of $4,000 Fol-
lows Death of Priest.

New York, Sep. 23.-AH Westchester
county knew Father Albinger, rector Of
the Church of Our Lady of Victory,
Mount Vernon, and believed him poor.
He was looked upon as one who 1oathed
money. The discovery after his death
that he was storing up gold during all
those years of self-denial is a complete
surprise to his friends.
There was never more indefatigable
church worker than Father AIbinger.
His ministratiOns to the poor made him
beloved, not alone in his own parish but
much further afield, also. Asceticism
lurked in the seams that lined his lean
face. His threadbare coat bore testi-
mony to his Indifference to personal
comforts. His near neighbors did not
fail to observe how small was the sup
ply of food that went into the priests
house, and it was a mystery to his
flock how he kept the breath in his
body.
Father AIbinger's parishioners some
times wondered what he did with his
salary. They felt sure that he either
gave it to the poor or sent it home to
his only relatives, two aged sisters, who
certain that frequently when he visited
neighbOring towns, such as Pelham and
New Rochelle, he would be discovered
in a starving condition, dependent for
sustenance on the good will of strang-
ers.
In such esteem was the aged priest
heId Tor his DeneVOlenCe ana Sef-aD-
negatiOn that last March his parishion-
ers raised a fund for the purpose of
sending him to his boyhood's home for
a vacation. But it was a short vaca-
ton, for soon after his arrival at Frank
fort on-the-M Main he died.
The two aged sisters knew more
about their brothers habits than any of
his parishioners. They knew that he
had a hoard of gold somewhere, but
were at loss where to find 1t. They
supposed that he had surely not cross
ed the ocean without his beloved hoard,
but diligent search failed to disclose
any trace of it in Germany. Baff1ed
there, they wrote to the German consul
in New York, asking his help. He COM
municated with Frank NJ Carpenter,
Mr.. Carpenter instituted a thorough
search in and about the old parsonage
in Bridge street. Even the cellar was
dug up, but without result.
1t was through the priests old house
keeper that the gold was discovered In
cleaning up the rectory, after receiving
the news of her masters death, she had
found in an old secretary a bank depos-
it slip and a key. BY this means was
unravelled a cleW which led to a safe
deposit vault in New York, and the
key fitted the lock. Slowed away in the
vault were rs purses of an old-fashion-
ed German make. Each of them con-
tanned 1000 German marks. Wrapped
up in a piece of brown paper were Sc
curities having a face value of SO 900.
These, with other odds and ends of pro-
perty, and a substantial bank account
brought the priests wealth up to a to-
tai of $40 OO 1t wifi be divided be-
tween his two sisters.

them as he would any other implement

MEAT IN ABUNDANCE.
Dawson Residents In No Danger Of
Starvation

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 10.-Richard
Morgan, just from Dawson, throws new
light on the food situation there, and
also on the general conditions and pres
ent necessities of the camp. Meat. no
says, is now drug and worth but 80
to 40 cents, chiefly because large herds
of moose and cariboo have lately
passed the district and have been
slaughtered by wholesale, one hunting
party bringing in as many as fifty
four. Hunker creeL, emptying into the
Klondike, five miles from Dawson, and
fed by Gold Bottom, Last Chance, and
several other auriferous streams, is
proving quite as good as Eldorado,
while it's gold approaches the Bonanza
creek standard of fineness. The Hum
ker is long stream, with room for
upwards of 100 more claims, while thera
are quite as many newly prospected
tributaries, including Last Canoe and
Gold Bottom. The pay dirt of the
district Of Hunker and these tributar-
les is said to average SIS to the pan,
while claim No. s. is reported to have
turned out one record pan of $104 Sui
phur creek has not yet shown any SEN
satiOnal ground, but $40 and SIS to the
pan is not to be looked upon with dis
dain by the majority of miners.

are stuffed with fraud, and that the
interest of the old soldier himself re-
quires their purgation, were foremost
in the foul-mouthed pack that hunted
down Cleveland and Lochren for ac-
tually proposing to render this serv-
ice to the deserving veterans of the
war.
How can any Republican follow the
position of his party managers today
without first redeeming himself as
gentleman and a man of honor, if he
lay any pretension to either title, by
rendering to his opponents the apology
which is their due? Democrats, how
ever, can well dispense with that
If the gigantic scheme of rascality
that has disgraced the administration
of our pension system is at last to be
put down and crushed out. The gen
tlemen on the other side know perfect
1y well where these frauds originated
and why they have waxed so nightly.
1t is well enough to pretend that they
are the work of the claim agent and
the pension attorney, but it is ineffa-
bly, silly The claim agent and the pen
sion attorney fourished and got in
their deadly work because wherever
there was a Republican majority in
congress they had but to draw up their
claim, however wicked or absurd, in
order to have it rushed through; and
whenever there was a Republican COM
missioner of pensions they knew that
his approval would not be withheld. 1t
has been the Republican policy ever
since pension legislation began to
attempt Systematically to buy votes
with pensions. 1t mattered as little,
therefore, to the pension granters as
to the pension grabbers what was the
record Of the applicant. What was
wanted was a vote for the Republican
party, and the consideration to be paid
for it was a pension.
At last there is a hope that this bold
and rapacious scheme has broken down
of it's own weight. A Republican ad-
miniStration cannot furnish revenue
necessary to maintain it. Therefore,
these frauds of the past are to be re-
paired to some extent, and there is a
move to restore the pension list to its
position as a roll Of honor. Mean as
are the motives and atrociously hypo-
critical as are the pretenses that &C
company this suggestion of reform, the
country can afford to let the Republi-
can pension policy Of the last thirty
years pass with one generous and COM
prehensive parting kick, if we are to
have hereafter a pension roll meas
urably free from fraudulent claimants,
and liberality toward the really de-
serving and needy veterans made more
generous and Astounding than it now
can be after the bummers and bounty
jumpers and political frauds have been
Weeded out of the list.
