That the mere announcement that
William Jennings Bryan was to address
a public meeting, would attract an i'm
mense throng representing all shades
OF political belief, goes without say
ing. 1t Is the intention to make Thurs
day nights asSembiage on the public
landing, much 9nere than this. It is to
be the banner political meeting of
the campaign. Weather permitting, the
plans which are now being made will
result III monster assemblage, which
will make the public wharf veritable
mass Of humanity. When Mr.. Brys:n,
standing upon the platform at the foot
OF the wharf, looks out upon the am
pitheatre of expectant human faces, he
should behold one Of the largest crowds
ne will face during the present cam
paign.
Not only will Wheeling and Ohio
county be represented in the throng,
but it will be in a measure a tri-State
meeting, for people are coming from
Ohio and Pennsylvania, eager to listen
to the eloauence OF tho Democratic
Presidential candidate, and glad To
avail themselves of the opportunity to
take advantage Of reduced rates On all
the railroads entering Wheeling.
The Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
road has taken the initiative in this
matter. Local Agent 0. r. Wood an
nounces a low rate excursion from all
points as far out as Canal Dover, O..
A special train will leave Canal Dover
at 4:30 D. m, Wheeling time. arriv-
ing here at 1880 p. m, and returning
leaving Bridgeport at 1890 p. NJ,
Wheeling time. 'a-" 70
All arrangements for tho big meeting
will be perfected at meeting of rep
resntatlve Democrats, called for Mon
day night in the Second Branch Coun-
eli Chamber. Copies of the following
circular Letter were sent out yesterday:

1t is likely that Water street mer-
chants will act upon the suggestion
that tan bark be distributed over the
cobble stones en- the wharf. 1t is the
intention to have fireworks display
in connection with the meeting, but
there will Ibe no parade.

DECIDES 4 NOVEL POINT.
JUSTICE GAYNOR HOLDS THAT FORCED
SALE or PROPERTY REVOKEs PRO
VISION OF A WILL.

Justice Gaynor. in the special trial term Of the
which. Is said. has had parallel in this
The question whether the forced sale
of property constitutes revocation of the prOViS
ions Of a will concerning the property. Justice
Gaynor decided that il did. The will probably
be taken to the Court OF Appeals a test
case.
Margaret Shelley in 1891 made a will in which she
left house in Oliver-st, Manhattan. to Elizabeth
F. Armetrano daughter. The remainder OF her
estate be divided among other children and
grandchildren. In 1896 the house in Oliver-st. was
condemned under the State laws and taken for
public school purposes. The 5000 which was re-
ceived from the sale was deposited by Mrs Shelley
with the Washington Trust Company In 1899 she
died without changing her will The heirs other
than Mrs. Armet dema nded that the 5000 pro-
ceeds Of the sale OF the house should be equally
divided among all. Mrs. Armetrano claimed the
money by right OF having been the legatee of the
house, and sued Henry T. DoWnes and others 10
prevent the money from being divided with the re
mainder OF the personal property.
Justice Gaynor. in deciding against The piaintir,
handed down the following opinion
The distinction in the present is that the
