CAVEAT LEFT SIX YEARS.
Mrs. Kern's Will Will Be Pro-
tested Next Friday.

A caveat against the will of Mrs. Eliza
beth Kern, which has remained undis-
turbed in Surrogate Lillis's office for
nearly six years. is about to be prosecut-
ed. The caveat was filed on October
A, 1898, shortly after Mrs. Kern's death.
In her will she left the bulk Of her estate
to her son. August, and $500 to her grand
son, Jonathan w. Hefich, to be paid to
him when he attained the age of twenty
one. In the event of his death the leg
aey was to revert to her son August.
Jonathan W., through his father, took
proceedings to contest the will on the
ground of undue influence and testament
tary incapacity but nothing has been done
about it beyond fling the caveat.
The proponent, August Kern, has de-
cided. to bring the matter to an issue and
at the request of his counsel, James d.
Manning, the Surrogate today issued ci-'
tations to all parties interested to appear
in the Orphans Court next Friday.

Her CHANCE is LOST.
Miss wilkinson Cannot Now
Become the Grass Widow
of Murderer Williams.

Matilda Wilkinson, the dusky damsel
Williams in the County Jail last Thurs
day, probably regrets now that she de-
cided to postpone the ceremony until after
williams was sentenced, so that she
might know definitely how long she would
have to remain grass widow. Williams
was liable to get thirty years for killing
Patrick Connolly, a saloon keeper in Com
munipaw avenue, and Miss Wilkinson
was not desirous of remaining insingle
blessedness for that period. There was
some inducement of course, as Williams
proposed to give her the custody of his
money and some property in Washington
which he owns and which is said to be
worth 5000.
The young woman visited Williams on
Thursday, but has not been there since.
If she should come now and be inclined to
keep ner agreement she would not be per-
mitted to do it, She would not even be
allowed to see Williams as visitors are
not allowed to see prisoners after they
have been sentenced
She might get a permit from Sheriff Hell
ler If he was here, but he is away. She
might also apply to Justice Lippincott,
but it is not likely that he would interfere
the matter. Perhaps she has conclud-
ed, however, that twenty years $ too long
to wait and is not desirous of becoming
Mrs. Williams.

JUMPED FROM FERRYBOAT
Woman -fst Threw a Bundle
That Looked Like a Baby
Rescued by Claude Smith.

The police of the First Precinct yes
terday afternoon thought they had case
of infanticide and suicide on their hands.
A woman, who was a passenger on the
Central Railroad ferryboat Pa nfield.
threw what was at first thought a baby
overheard and in a second jumped to the
rail and followed 1t. Deckhands and
other passengers on the rushed to the
rail from which the woman jumped ex-
pecting to see her drown.
Claude Smith, one of the deckhands on
the ferryboat, jumped into the river and
held the woman afoat until help arrived.
Fortunately for both the tugboat Tren-
ton was close by and was steaming
rapidly toward the point where the deck
hand and the woman were struggling for
life Ropes were lowered and were
grasped by Smith, who held on while he
and the woman. who was nearly uncon-
scious from the shock, were drawn to
the deck Of the tug.
The bundle was f1shed out of the water
and it was found to be a package of un-
derclothing A pair of stockings contained
in the bundle were stamped "A Walters .
After the woman regained consciousness
she said her name was Adele Walters.
She refused to give her address.
Mrs. Walters was removed to the Hud-
son Street, New York, Hospital in the
ambulance She was later arraigned in
the police court charged with attempted
suicide. She was held for further exami-
nation.

Lord Salisbury, the thanks of the Amer
lean Government for the honor shown by

of their removal in March last from Port
Stanley, Falkland Islands.
Rear Admiral SPOTS was stricken with
apolexy aboard the United States steamer
Brooklyn at Port Stanley, Falkland ISL
ands, March g. 1882, while receiving an
official visit from the Governor of the
islands. He died that night and was
buried at Port Stanely, mainly owing to
the absence of embalming facilities. The
Governor presented a cemetery lot for the
burial, and the English battery on shore
fired salute of thirteen guns while the
funeral procession was passing.
In March last the United States aux
iliary cruiser Badger formerly the Ward

spatched to Port Stanley, took on board
the exhumed remains of Admiral SPOTS
and conveyed them to San Francisco

PETITION IGNORED
Improvement Association
Says InspectorBenjamin
Paid No Attention
to 1t.

The Hudson City Improvement Associa-
tion met last evening at GroeschePs Hall
and discussed a number of proposed i'm
provements including the asphalting of
Palisade avenue. Carl Lampe reported
that a large delegation of interested prop
erty owners had waited upon the Street
and Water Commissioners and the Com
missioners promised to give the subject
consideration.
Mr. Wackerman wanted to know If the
Commissioners had said anything about
asphalting Palisade avenue south of
Waverly street, where there was no
sewer. He said considerable trouble had
been experienced in getting Jefferson ave-
nue. asphalted because it, at the time, had
no sewer.
Mr. Lampe explained that the residents
of the east side of Palisade avenue could
not sewer into Palisade avenue sewer
if built, as many of the homes set back
on the side of the Hill. On the west
side many of the property owners owned
half a block and severed into intersect-
ing streets.
Financial Secretary Barber said he was
glad there is a movement in p direc-
tion of asphalting Palisade avenue, as 1t
will have tendency to stop the rush OF
prospective buyers to the Boulevard. He
attributed the decrease in the value Of
real estate on Palisade avenue to such
lack of Improvement and the nuisance
at the foot of the Hoboken avenue hill.
President Farmer said the Chief Engi-
neer had told him that the only practical
plan was for the people on the east side
to sewer in the Hoboken avenue sewer.
But the difficulty he said was that the
residents below the Hill did not seem
willing to help those on the HILL They
wanted a sewer in Seventeenth street
but were not willing to build one large
enough to accommodate the Hill section
as an outlet.
Mr.. Muir reporter that extra lights had
been placed on Ravine Road and that
Commissioner Nolan had promised to fix
the Palisade avenue bridge over that
thoroughfare. The Mayor and Council of
Hoboken will be asked to improve the
two blocks of the road lying in Hoboken
There was some discussion of extra IN
spectors be assigned to the Prospect street
Improvement, where one has already been
appointed.
Henry Badenius spoke of the condition
of Lineau plyace caused by the tearing
down of the condemned portion of Sta
pies candle factory. The old lumber
saturated with grease and other meat
fats still lies about the yard, and in warm
weather the stencil arising from them is
said to be intolerable.
The speaker said a petition bearing the
signatures of ffty-four property owners
had been presented to Health Inspector
Benjamin, asking that the nuisance be
abated, but that no notice had been taxi
en- of it. A committee was appointed to
go before the Inspector and make COM
plants. 1t was reported, he said, that
Mr.. Staples continues to cure ham without
license, despite the fact that he had
been tried and convicted for SO doing.
NIessrs. Bodler and Reese were added
to the School Committee, which had
hitherto been composed of Messrs. Muir,
Wackerman and Dohrmann.
