TWO FIGURES.
The Final Price Will Prob
ably Lie Between Them.

Considerable speculation was in
dulged in yesterday as to the probable
action of the Agricultural Society re-
garding the sale OF the fair grounds.
The members Of the society win meet
this morning in horticultural hall at
1880 to discuss the sale.
The situation in a nutshell is this:
The syndicate desiring to purchase the
grounds has offered $175.0OO. The Ag-
ricultural society is holding off for
100000 1t remains to be seen how
thaN matter will result
The general opinion yesterday was
that compromise would be the out
come of the situation. 1t is thought
some price between those mentioned
will be offered, and that by virtue of
concessions on both sides the deal will
go through.
ut is impossible to say how the
matter will end" said City Auditor
Bowker yesterday. There are SO
many persons interested and so many
diverse opinions held that the outcome
of the tangle cannot be predicted until
all get together and talk their differ

Down and Out.
TRUSTEES NO MORE
Family Differences Have
Been Settled Out Of Court.

An agreement and amicable under
standing has been reached in the set
Element of the affairs of the William S.
Lincoln estate, so that it is now prob
able that there will be no further pro-
ceedings in the suits for 100000 which

and executors of the estate, against
Levi Lncoln alone, and the matter will
drop.

tees to succeed them. and have been
appointed administrators of the Will
lam S. Lincoln estate.
AS has been previously told in The
Spy, the suits grew out of differences
between Winslow S. Lincoln and his
brother, Levi Lincoln, as to the direc-
ton of the estate affairs, and failing
to come to an agreement, Winsow S.
Lincoln brought the actions against his
brother, who was also made to appear
as one of the plaintiffs as co-executor
ana co-JruStee. Since the suits were
brought, there has been considerable
discussion in influential circles of the
city where all the parties are known,
occupying as they do prominent posi-
ton.
Several conferences have been held
between the brothers. Levi Lincoln and
Winslow S. Lincoln, and their counsel,
Hopkins. Smith & Hopkins with the re-
suit that 1t was agreed that both the
brothers would resign from their con-
nection with the estate, and leave the
adjustment of differences to Messrs.
Smith and Gage. Accordingly yesterday
both Winslow s. Lincoln and Levi Lin
coin filed their designations as trustees
under the estate, and Winslow S. Lin
colin as executor
The designations were accepted by the
court, and Judge Forbes appointed
Lawyers Smith and Gage to succeed
them as trustees, and also confirmed
them in their petition for appointment
as administrators Of the estate. All
parties Elizabeth Lincoln Winslow s.

FROM HAVANA.
Private Lawler of the I'd Heaves Writes
,s,- of the Cuban City.

~, Of the Cuban City.
Interesting letters descriptive of
Havana, as it is today, are being re-
ceived from Private B. P. Lawler, Bat
terry G, Second heavy artillery, who is
now stationed in Havana In his most
recent letter he reports warm weather
in Havana. - Srte
He says: 1.-THE streets are dirty and
in miserable condition, though the
work of cleaning up the place con-
tinues rapidly. l saw rather pecu-
liar sight in the city of Havana. A
Cuban woman was struck and killed
by train, and for three days her body
remained where it had fallen. On the
third day friends of the deceased
bought a pine box and deposited the
remains in it. 1t was then carried on
the shoulders of the men to the burial
ground.
Here people hire their lots in the
burial grounds, and if they don't pay
after a certain length of time the bones
will be disinterred and dumped in a
far end of the city, where quick lime
is poured over them.
THE work of relieving the distress
of the poor people is progressing rap
idly. You would have to see the con-
ditions of the people in order to under
stand to what straits they are re-
duced."
In another letter he tells of being
camped near the graves of the Maine
victims, and says the only mark upon
the graves is an American flag. Many
of the boys are already seeking their
discharges, and he says a few are get
ting them without seeking for them,
getting what is known as bobtail or
a dishonorable discharge.
