In her will Miss McGovran stipulated that in no event should Mrs. Murdock, Mrs. Kate R. Johnston and Mrs. Frances Lehr of Baltimore, and Mrs. Elizabeth DebOw and Mrs. Mary Ann Symons of St. Louis share in the estate. Mrs MurdOck, insisting that her wealthy cousin lacked proper tes- tanentary capacity, contested the will, but Judge Stewart decided against Mrs. Murdock and the supreme court sustained him.
 When Auditor w Rush Gillaz made his report to the court he decided that all Of the seven cousins were entitled to equal shares. The two favored cousins contested this finding, and the opinion reverses the auditor and sus- tains the intention Of Miss McGovran Ito disinherit the five.

wEY1ER's POLITICAL AMBITION.
Thinks the Country Will Fare Badly if
 He Is Not Put Into rover.

London, Dec. 31.-The Madrid cor respondent Of the Standard says:
 ''Senor Sagasta's illness has brought to standstill the political crisis and the negotiations for the reorganization of the liberal party. Many liberals are opposed to General Weyler's becoming minister of war, because they fear he will aspire to succeed Sagasta as leader of the party.
 'El Liberal publishes an interview with Weyler, in the course of wnicn he is represented as declining to give any information regarding the crisis, but. as insisting upon the necessity for a strong government. Such a govern ment could not, he said, be drawn from the party led by Senor Silvela. General Weyler hinted that the coun- try would run great risks unless power were placed in the hands of a Sagasta- WeyEer coalition government.
 The Bank of Spain has ceased to make advances upon Philippine and Cuban bonds, and has asked a supple mentary guarantee for previous ad- vances, owing to the decline in the value of the bonds. The government has arranged with Madrid and Baree- Iona bankers to advance the amount needed for the service of those bonds in January"

BURGLARS ROB A JAIL
Penal Institute at New Brunswick,
 N. J., Loofed by Thieves.

New York, Dec. 31.-The meanest burglars in New Jersey broke into the county jail at New Brunswick last night and stole everything they want ed, including $7QO, from Sheriff and Jail Keepar George Litterest, who was furious today at the insolence with which the housebreakers behaved toward his institution.
 There is no precedent for burglars finding their way into the New Bruns- wick prison. They visit with impunity every other building in town, but for burglar to be in the jail is wholly un known.
 There are some people in New Bruns- wick whose sense of humor is so warped that they think the. incident funny. They say that at last Burglars have got themselves into the jail, and, although they did not stay there very long, the ice is broken. and there may be others.

TRUTH ABOUT VACCINATION
Ggrmany'S Wonderful Success in
 Combafind Smallpox.

RCme Dee. 31.-In a lecture delivered hare last night Dr. Bizzozzero made a deep impression by his summing up Of the argument for vaccinatio He said:
 Germany stands alone in fulfilling in great measure the demands Of hy- giena, having in consequence of the caIamitous smallpox epidemic of 1SI0- II enacted the law Of 1874, which makes vaccination obligatory in the first year of life and revaccinatiOn also obligatory at the tenth year" What was the result? With a population of 50 900, 900, kaving in 1871 lost 143,000 lives by smallpox, she found by her law Of 1874 the mortality diminished so rapidly that today the disease numbers only 116 victims a year. These eases, moreover, occur almost exclusively III towns on her frontier"
 If it were true, continued Prof. Biz zozzero, that a good vaccination does not protcct from smallpox, we ought to find in smallpox epidemics that the dis ease diffuses itself in the well-vaccinat- ed no less than in the nOn-vaccinated countries. But it is not so. In 1870-I, during the Franco-German war, the two peoples inteTpen6trated each other, the German having it's civil population vaccinated optionally, but it's army completely revaccinated, while the French Cpopulation and army alike) were vaccinated perfunctOrily. Both were attacked by smallpox, but the French army numbered 23,000 deaths by it, while the German army had only PTS; and in the same tent, breathing the same air, the French wounded were heavily visited by the disease, while the German wounded, having been re- Vaccinated had not a single case.
