PULLMAN ESTATE NEARLY s14,OOO,>O

EXECUTORS RECEIVE FEES OF $4,000 FOR THEIR
SERVICES.
Chicago JAN 5.-To Robert T. Lincoln and Nor
B. Ream, executors of the estate Of the late
George NJ Pullman to-day allotted. as com
pensation for their services the OF s25,00o
The order was entered by Judge Batten In the Pro-
bate Court This is said to be the largest amount
in fees ever allowed executors of any estate
handled by the Probate Court here The compen-
sation agreed upon with the approval of Mrs.
Harriet Sanger Pullman. the widow; Mrs. Frank
o. Lowden and the other residuary legatees be-
fore the order of the Court was asked. Another
order was made. fixing the widows award at
$4,000. Under ordinary circumstances this award
would probably not have been over half this sum
But Mrs. Pullman, through her counsel, asked the
Court for the assignment named, and was Joined
in the request by her daughters Mrs. Florence
Pullman Lowden and Mrs Harriet Pullman Caro-
lam who represented that IL is the purpose OF their

A CONNECTICUT EXAMPLE.

In line with soma recent comments in these
columns upon methods of sewage disposal In
Chicago along the Passaic River and elsewhere
a bit of news from Connecticut comes agreeably
to hand 1t is made known that the Supreme
Court of that State, acting in accord with its
own enlightened precedents, has affirmed the
decision of the lower court in favor of plaintiff
who considered himself aggrieved by the &C
ton Of the city of Waterbury in polluting the
Naugatuck River. Damages are awarded to the
plaintiff and the city is enjoined from pouring
any Of its sewage into the river after the year
1902. Waterbury must therefore pay penalty
for having befouled the river and must within
the next three years complete some other sys-
tenn for disposing of its sewage. They say it
will be somewhat costly and difficult job for
1t to do the latter because the city lies In
narrow valley. and will have to go to con-
siderable distance to secure suitable ground for
filter beds. The works may cost 1t as much as
81, 100000. Nevertheless, it will have to do 1t.
There are judges in Connecticut
We have said that this judgment, which COM
mcnds itself TO every sound sense of law and
Justice is In accord with previous decisions of
the same court 1t is, in fact the fourth de-
csion of the kind rendered in that State, all
within the last few years We believe the
Pipers Brook case, which was fought for
long time, was the nrSt or them, ana we nave
pleasant recollection of anticipating in these col
umns at that time that it would prove to be
merely the first of long series of such cases,
which series would not end until all the cities
in that enterprisng and progressive State were
constrained to adopt decent and civilized meth
DDS of sewage disposal, and all the streams in
it were consequently redeemed from pollution.
That anticipation seems, now to be in fair way
of fulilment. Perhaps it will not be too OPP
timistic to extend it to other States. There can
be little doubt that the sound principles of law
and equity maintained by the Connecticut
courts will be similarly recognized and main
tanned by the courts of other States and of the
Nation All that is needed is for the people who
are aggrieved by corporate or other deflement
of running streams to take the matter up Sc
rously and persistenty, and seek redress at the
bar of Justice There is no reason why every
city and town in the land that is offending as
Waterbury is offending should not be brought
to book as Waterbury has been.

FATHER SYLVESTER MALOyES WILL.

RUMORs THAT THERE WILL BE CoNTEsT-THE
REV. JOSEPH o'BRIEN TO STAY IN BROOKLYN
Several rumors about probable contest over the
will of the Rev. Sylvester Malone. and stories to
the effect that the Rev. Joseph o. rien to be
sent from the parish OF IS. Peter and Paul, in
williamsburg to Oys,er Bay were current yester-
day. Father O'Brien attended to the duties OF
pastor of the church while Father Malone was
i'll. The stories that he to be assigned to
another parish were emphatically denied by Father
Bedford. who appointed pastor Of the church
soon after the death OF Father Malone. In speak
ing to a Tribune reporter Father Beford said last
night
Father O'Brien will remain in this parish. In
fact look upon him as necessity. His conduct
during the trying times preceding the death OF
Father M9one eminently satisfactory to his
superiors. In regard to discussing further the
pleasant things that have occurred in the parish
desire state that the Church intends to ignore
them entirely. We shall have nothing more 10 say
unless forced to make statement to refute any
false accusations that may be made against us
In other words, we shall lony act on the defensive

or Senators and was intended, following the
similar Mantle decision of 1893. to establish a
precedent, 1t would seem difficult for a large
enough number of Senators TO change their
views TO reverse the established rule Ii
enough can be found to overrule the committee
1t will merely mean that principle has been put
aside.
The vote OF the committee, however, does not
indicate that so far at least as It's members are
concerned principle has been put aside by either
Mr.. Quay's supporters opponents. The mem
bers of the committee who voted against Mr.
Quay were Senators Gallery, Pettus Harris and
Burrows. Those who voted for him were Sen
atOrs Chandler, Hoar and McComas. Senator
Pritchard, who favored Mr.. Quay was paired
with Senator Turley. Almost all of these men
on the committee which decided Mr.. Cor
belts case, and every of them then was
recorded as he is now, while the new members
seem naturally TO have succeeded to the views
of predecessors The four committee votes
against Mr.. Corbett were cast by Senators Caf-
fiery, Pettus. Allen and Burrows. Those voting
for him were Senators Chandler, Hoar and
Pritchard, and Senator Spooner was paired
against Senator Turley, who opposed Mr.. Cor
bett. as he does Mr.. Quay. Thus Senator Nc
Comas represents Senator Spooner's view, and
the Popuist Senator Harris stands where the
Populist Senator Allen stood. Otherwise there
is no change. This is a gratifying token of the
steadfastness to conviction of Senators, and In
dcates that In spite of the strong personal feel
ings which must enter into the case Of Mr.
Quay, so long associated with the men who pass
upon his credentials, this question is to be
settled as it should be- on high grounds of public
policy.

MR.. OUAYS CASE.

II the majority Of the United States Senators
have changed their opinions on Senatorial quail
fcations no more in two years than their Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections the chances
Of Mr.. Quays obtaining his old seat are not
bright. Yesterday the committee, by a vote of
to 3, decided to report adversely on the right
Of the Governor of Pennsylvania to appoint MI
Quay after the Legislature had failed to fill the
vacancy which existed while it was in session.
1t was by the same vote that substantially the
same committee opposed the seating of Ii. w
Corbett as Senator from Oregon, with n claim
similar to that of Mr.. Quay. In the case of Mr.
Corbett the Senate by a vote of 30 to 10. ac-
cepted the judgment of the committee and re-
fused to admit him. OF course, the vote in
January, 1893 is no criterion of the vote to be
taken now, but as the division then was not on
partisan lines, but expressed the convictions
