Of Millionaire Davis, Native of som-
 CTS, Conn.

| 0LSy SOilI.
 l Reports come from the west of tn,
 finding of the second and latest will O.
 Andrew J. Davis, a millionaire of Mon
 tana, who hailed from Somers. Conn.
 and some of whose relatives now re.
 side in that section. He died Marcl
 II, 1890.
 Shortly after the death of MT. Davis
 will of 1864 was found. but the heirs
 were not satisfied and litigation result | ed, running along for nine years. The | lawyers fees are said to have aggre- gated $250,000 of which the late Colonel | Ingersoll was credited with receiving i $100,000. It was claimed that there
 was later will, and one purporting to be that instrument and dated in 1889
 has been found.
 An Omaha dispatch says that there is woman in the case, and she is after her share of the Davis millions. Her name is Mary c. Wilson, and her home is in Chicago, but the case takes it's origin in Omaha, as w. A. Saund- CTS, an Omaha lawyer, leaves there in few days for Butte, Mont, to file the will for probate.
 The document that has now turned up purports to have been executed some five months prior to the death of Davis. Its first bequest is $100,000 to the city of Butte for a public library and ,the second Is a similar amount to my beloved friend, Mary c. Wilson of Chicago" Other bequests are $100,- 900 to Henry A. Root a like amount to Mary Louise Dunbar, a niece; a like amount to Diana Davis, sister: $50,- 900 each 10 Harriet, Sarah and Eliza beth, three other sistersa $150,O00 to Erwin, a brother; $200,O0O to Calvin, another brother, and the remainder of the estate to John A. Davis, third brother. Erwin Davis and Henry A. Root are residents of New York city John A. Davis has since died Calvin is supposed to be somewhere in Cali fornia.
 The story of the will has to do with the alleged relations of an old man, who had already reached the age of three score and ten, and an exception ally prepossessing young woman, not yet thirty. placed in custody of the millionaire's last will and testament. Miss Wilson, it is stated, did not know of Davis death until some time after ward, but no reason is assigned why her claim was not pressed until this time
 Miss Diana Davis, the sister, who lives in Springfield, Mass, is eighty six years old and very feeble She says she cares nothing about the new | will, as her wants are cared for by [ relative Miss Marie Louise Dunbar, niece also living in Springfield, says that she sold out her rights to other parties some time ago.

 NEW HAVEN INCORPORATORS

May Have Factory in This City.
 The incorporators of the North Amer ican Turquoise syndicate organized Thursday under the laws of New Jer- sey in Jersey City, are General Doug lass Leffingwell and A. NMcGregor Letfingwell of this city, and Thomas I. Madden, formerly of New Haven, but now of Jersey City. The capital stock of the company is placed at LOGO, OOO. It is said that the Tiffanys of New York are interested in the syndicate, and that some of the largest jewellers in the United States will be on the board of di- rectors.
 The new company will operate tuf- quoise mines in New Mexico and finish the gems for the market. If is likely that a factory will be established in New Haven, where the rough stones will be wrought into a perfect state.
 MT. Madden said yesterday that the purpose of the company was to corner the turquoise production of Mexico. Time was when Persia had furnished nearly all the stones, but the mines had finally given out and now Mexico was practically the only country in which tiSy COulu De IottIl III SulHClGut QudIlll- ties to make mining profitable. Tiffany and Oppenheimer are back of the new company and directors.
 Several mines had been purchased in Mexico and in a short time the supply of that country would be entirely in the hands of the company. There was an immense field for turquoise, Tiffany alone being willing to take seven eighths of the total production if he could get it. In late years the tur2 quoise had become scarce, except in small stones.

NdTTW1 dl w IIICI1ebTtI s.
 James D. Carroll of 91 Henry street, contractor at the Winchester Repeat ing Arms factory, met with a painful accident at the factory yesterday af- ternoon. He was pouring nitric acid from one bottle into another, when sud- denly the acid spurted out of the bottle into which he was pouring it and struck him in the face and on the hands He was severely burned and was taken to the New Haven hospital, where it was found that he had lost the sight of the left eye, so badly was it burned by the acid.
