TO BREAK THE HoYT WILL.
Disposition of Estate Attacked by
Dead Woman's Son.

Wilkes Barre, Nov. 3.-Before Judge
Darte in the orphans court room this
morning Frank w. Hoyt, of Kings
ton tried to break the will of his
mother, the late Mary NJ. uOyr, of
Kingston, because he believes undue
influence was used. His mother es-
tate is valued at between $150000 and
5000 900 and he received but $1,000.
In the arguments on the part of
Mr.. Hoyts attorneys, II. w. Palmer,
]. T. Lenahan and Z. f. Hoy, We're
made plain to the judge reasons why
the will should not be set aside and
the case given to a common pleas jury
TO decide the merits of the plaintiff S
contest.
Mrs. Hoyt died Sept 4, 1895 BY a
will made seven years before her
death she bequeathed her books. book
cases and $1,000 in money to her only
son Frank W. Hoyt, The will eX-
planned that she did not give him a
larger part of the estate because he
already had abundant means from his
fathers estate, The remainder of her
large estate was bequeathed to her
sisters, brothers and nieces Attorney
George X. Powell was made executor
under the will and he and ex-Judge
D. L. RhOne are defending the will
The son who wishes to break the will
alleges that undue influence was exer-
cised by his aunt, a sister of the de-
ceased, and that his mother was pre-
vailed upon by such influence and con-
fidence as to deprive him of the bulk
OF his mothers estate.
Decision was reserved.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Honesdale, Nov. 3.-Since the official
notice one year last Saturday that the
Gravity railroad and canal would be
abandoned, the work of changing to
a locomotive road has been steadily
pushed forward. The stone work for
the iron bridge at Rlatdin's is COM
pleted and the abutments for the
bridge at Torrey's dam will be finished
this week. Today 4 survey Is being
made for a turn table to be located
just south of the union docks. Most Of
the old iron has been taken from tie
union docks and the works are being
razed to tn ground. This is the last
that remains of the canal equipment
at Honesdale" Heavy steel rails are
now being laid on the main track
through the canal basin; the filling is
completed except Cor track grading.
Contractor Conrad Schroeder of
Scranton was here today looking over
the site for the new union passenger
station.

Ing a good deal Of necessary eleventh
hour work throughout Susquehanna
county. Few public meetings have
been held, but the work performed has
been Of the most practical sort.
Some of the candidates have made Il
house o-housc canvass in whole dis
tricts, and even the most isolated Sec
tions have not been neglected.
The Susquehanna Journal, anti
Wright, has issued two special election
editions. on Thursday it sent out an
extra 1000 edition Besides the usual
broadsdes against Register and Re-
corder Wright, ii contains, as an "ad-
vertsement" an eulogy of Bruce b.
Buffum, of Tricndsville, the Demo-
cratic candidate for register and re-
corder, together with another "adver-
tisement," an article entitled ITO Low
er the Price of Board at the County
Jail" The price paid by the county TO
the sheriff for boarding prisoners is
$3.50 per week. The Democrats of the
county have pledged themselves to
board them for Sl.i5 pcr week.
The Hallstead Herald on Thursday
issued large special edition, with
articles supporting the entire Republi-
can ticket. In the event of the election
of the entire Republican ticket, it is
claimed that one Of the new $1,000 600
state hospitals will presently be locat-
ed in Susauchanna county; and that u
bill will probably be passed by the
next legislature, paying into the treas
ury of Susquehanna county, $5OO,OOC,
the amount paid the state as bonus by
the Erie railroad company.
With the exception of the Montrose
Democrat and the Susquehanna Jour
nal, all of the newspapers in the county
are giving the entire Republican ticket
their support.
There is no good reason to believe
that Susquehanna county will go DEM
ocratic next Tuesday.

New York. Nov. s. The opening deal

mated and the course of prices was up
ward. Continued activity by the various
pools was apparent in the stocks which
had advanced within the last few days.
Heavy realization was in evidence at a
very early period in the trading and the
snap was soon taken out of the upward
movement. The volume of the selling
was much reduced below the best prices
but the demand also fell off and support
seemed to be withdrawn from the marip-
ulated specialties. The course Of prices
was generally downward for the rest OF
the day. Total sales. Cos, 700 shares.
