licences of the Disputants.

A suit which has involved interests
of 100000 has been entered in the SUI
perior court, the plaintiffs residing in
the far south of Florida, and the re-
spondents in Massachusetts
The case is bill in equity brought
by the firm of Willoughby & Adams,
comprising Charles w. Richardson,
Charles E. Smith ct ais, against Ed
ward f.. Webster OF Gloucester, and
Charles e. Ware, Pitcnburg, as admin
istrator of the estate of Mary j. Miles
to enjoin the defendants from further
transactions in connection with the es-
tate of the late Mary j. Miles, until
further order of the court.
A preliminary injunction was grant
ed by Judge Hopkins, and there win be
hearing In the case, March 9Th. The
plaintiff claims In his bill that Edward
t.. Webster owes MIN a certain sum-
being the husband of Mabel A. Webster,
and entitled to one-half of the residue
of the personal estate. 1t is stated in
the plaintiffs bill that Mary j. Miles
was appointed the guardian OF Mabel
A. Webster, and ut the time of the
formers death, the balance due the
estate as accounted for was $33, 92655.
Mary j. Miles, as guardian, made
partial payment Of the sum, dating
from 1885 later, amounting in all to
about $4,000 At the death of Mary J .
Miles, Charles E. Ware, one of the
leading lawyers of lFitchburg, was ap-
pointed administrator and since then
nothing has been paid towards the
determination of the balance In May,
1895, suit was brought In the supreme
judicial court for 100000 to recover the
balance due and secure the settlement
of the estate by the administrator, Mr..
Ware, and judgment was entered, the
execution being fixed at $14.7S271. Since
that time, and in fact q short time ago,
Mr.. Ware as administrator Of the
Miles estate, filed petition in the pro-
bate court, that the court declare the
Miles estate to be insolvent. AS a re-
suit of this action, the bill in equity
has been brought, praying the co
to order the payment of the balance
due on the writ of execution the delay
of further insolvency proceedings, the
enjoining of the administrator from
further transaction in connection with
the Miles estate until the court may
so order.

home with his discharge in his pocket,
reaching Boston, Feb. Is. From there
ne went with a party Of comrades to
Hartford, Conn.,, and from there to
Worcester.
While at Fort Sheridan Private Blake
was in the camp hospital, but since re-
covery has never been better in his
life. He has had enough of army life,
however, and prefers the more congo
NAL life of peace. Since his entering
the army he has carried in his hat a
small and beautiful American flag, on
which he has written the names of the
camps where he has done duty with
the dates he was assigned. The flag
marked IN each white space bears the
following illusions: Fort Mcpherson.
Atlanta, Ga, July 80; Lithia Springs,
Aug. 6; Camp Hobson, Montauk Point
Sept. 6; Fort Bradley, Mich, Oct %:
Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, Jan. n; Boston,
Feb. Is. While Private Blake was de-
tailed to the hospital the change from
day to night duty brought on malaria,
TO which he was a keen sufferer.
While at Chicago, he was present at
the efforts of the life saving crew on
the shores Of Lake Michigan, in their
plan to save the lives of the party
of University of Chicago students, who
were on foes of ice that were swept
into the middle of the lake. The scene,
he says, was one of terror, and tor
ture. Mothers, sweethearts and rela-
tives of the missing Dtudents were
lined up on the shore, waiting in agony
for the news that has never come. The
life crew showed intense heroism and
daring, and so noble was their self
sacrifice that one or Two members lost
their lives.
Other Worcester soldiers who re-
ceived their honorable discharges at
the time were j. j. Maloney, a popular
young man of South Worcester, Phillip
Byron, and Earnest Walker Privates
Maloney and Byron return to this
city with Private Blake, but Private
Byron goes to Denver eventually. Out
of 200 men, 1856 got their discharge 12
re-enlisted in the general service and
"a re-enlisted again in the Seventh in
fantry. One hundred and fifty of the
discharged soldiers left Fort Sheridan
together, and they had a merry time
en- route for Chicago Companies K
and L were discharged, simultaneously
with Companies NJ and D from Fort
Bradley.
Private Blake will now retire to pri-
vate life for a short time, although he
signs for further lands to explore, and
is now making preparations to attend
the Paris exhibition in 1900, which
promises to be the greatest in the
worlds history.

FOR PEACE.
Private Blake Has
Enough of War.
GALLANT SOLDIER.
Got His Early Training on
the Spy's Forces.

After more than four months wear
ing the blue in Uncle Sans army,
Private Edwin T. Blake, Of the Sew
enth infantry, a former attache of The
Spy, returned yesterday from Hart
ford, Conn, with an honorable dis
charge, a mixture of malaria in his
blood and hatred Of Spain in his veins.
The stories which Private Blake can
now relate from actual experience
would ill a book, and yesterday, from
the time Of his arrival, he was the
centre of many an admiring group of
his friends, who wijhed to hear Of his
thrilling life from his own lips.
Private Blake enlisted under Capt
D. B. Angium, and was first assigned
to Fort Mcpherson during the month
of July. He was at home for a few
days furlough in October, leaving
again to report at his camp, October
II. On leaving Worcester he, with the
members of his company, was assigned
TO duty at Fort Bradley, Mich, and
from there went to Fort Sheridan, ILL.,,

would-be assailant and stuck him sew
eral blows over the head with fence
picket. No one knew who the young
man was until yesterday morning
when the young man came to Inspector
