THE CURTIS WILL.

Gradual progress is being made in
the settlement of the estate of the late
Albert Curtis. so it is thought at the
present time that there will be no ac-
tual contest. Already Col. e. B. Stod-
dard, for the heirs Of the estate in this
city, and e. 3. Hale of Boston, who
represents the interests of the relatives
of the deceased in that section, are
making efforts to secure an amicable
adjustment of the affairs Of the deceas-
ed manufacturer and philanthropist.
The Bancrofts, who are nieces of the
late Mr. Curtis. with other relatives of
Mr. Curtis. who felt that they had not
been sufficiently remembered in the
will, have, however, come to no formal
although Mr. Hale and Col. Stoddard
are working to that end, so that there
will not be the ordeal of contest in
the courts.
Thus far no date has been set in the
probate court for q hearing on the al
lowance of the will, it being understood
that a date will be set when 1t is de-
fnitely decided whether arrangement
can be reached among the heirs, or
whether the attempt is to be made to
break the will.
The date will be set so that If no
settlement out of court is effected, the
will can be heard before the supreme
judicial court, whose session in April
will embrace q large number OF will
cases coming before it on appeal from
the probate court.

NEEDS NEW LIFE.
Odd Fellows Relief Said to
Be in Distress.

The Mutual Relief Association of the
Odd Fellows, it is feared, will be forced
out of existence owing to the fact that
there has been a marked falling off in
the membership and a lack of interest
manifested by those who have conduct
ed the affairs of the organization.
The matter is a serious one to many
Odd Fellows in Worcester county. as it
is the only form of insurance that they
have had for years and many of them
have arrived at an age where it would
cost them large amount to reinsure in
any other relief association.
The majority of the members seem
to be of the opinion tht a determined
effort should be made, and that the as
soclation should be at once put upon
its old footing.
Or late very few young members have
been taken into the association, and the
ola members have found that the ex-

CONTESTED WILLS.
Interesting Development In the corIiss
Family Controversy.

SF'hN OSbNbONeiSJs
Another development in the interest
ing Corliss will case came to light
yesterday when petition was filed in
the probate court from the office of
Blackmer & Vaughan, by Frank NJ.
Corliss, asking for the probating of the
last will and testament of Sarah e. f.
Coriss, and his appointment as admin
istrator of her estate.
When Mrs. Sarah e. f. Colqss died
recently she left son and daughter
helrs of the estate, and there have been
interesting proceedings to locate the
whereabouts of the will However, the
has disappeared from the scene, and
yesterday, by the filing Of the petition
in the probate court, the son, Frank M.
Corliss, wants to have the will proved
by copy, in the loss of the original will.
The estate is valued at between $1S, 600
and $4,000, Nas is understood, and there
promises to be a warm contest over the
settlement.
1t will be remembered that some time
past the daughter OF Mrs Corliss filed
a petition in the probate court, claim
ing that Mr.. Corliss had taken the will
away from her by force that while she
had been driving in a carriage the will
had been abstracted, and torn up.
The petition was dismissed upon a
hearing, and now the brother asks for

SETTLEMENT is MADE.

The final settlement in the case of
Miss fla Wilkes, one of the stars OF the
Ivy Leaf Company, which attracted
such large crowds at Lothrop's opera
house last week, was effected yesterday
morning, and all parties concerned are
now rejoicing.
Not endorsing the arrangements
which the manager of the company was
making with her in regard to salary,
she had q writ served upon the man
ager of the Ivy Leaf company to Sc
cure her salary. Constable Albert Rich
ardson served the writ, which was in
the sum Of 5000, and day after the
service the claim OF Miss Wilkes was
paid, the attachment being dissolved by
the manager giving a bond for the
amount claimed.
Miss Wilkes claimed there was back
salary due her, and now an amicable
agreement has been reached between
herself and the manager.
The counsel represented I'm the case
were Charles J. O'Gara, who appeared
for Miss Wilkes and Sullivan & O'Con-
nell.
