KITTs0N ESTATE TAXES.
Application for Payment Made by
Certain of the Heirs.

Certain of the Heirs.
Judge Bazille yesterday in probate
court took under adyisement the matter
Of The application Of certain of the heirs
of Norman w. Kittson for the payment
Of taxes on the Kittson Midway property.
The contest on the application was be-
tween the children of the 4ate commodore
by his first wife and the children by tho
second wife.
1t appears that Commodore Kittson
made a Will leaving the homestead to his
wife originally, buti@she having died in
the meantime he provided that the prop.
erty should go to the five children by
the second Mrs. kittson, and offset at
the appraised value in the probate court
as to the remaining six. Furthermore it
was provided that the amount SO In.
ventoried should be deducted from the
amount coming to the five children and
be paid over to the othertheirs. this con-
stituting a lien against all of the prop.
erty in the hands of the executor.
In March, 1894, an agreement was en-
tered into by and between all the heirs
that certain stocks should be sold and
divided among the heirs and In order to
accomplish this the six children by the
first Mrs. TIittscn agreed to release any
claim they had on all the property and
to accept the Midway Park property to
the extent of $4,000 each. 1t was pro-
vided in the agreement that payment of
taxes should be made out of certain
funds left with the executor.
In April, 1894. a new agreement was
entered into to divide the amount re-
served under the previous agreement
which left the executor with little OF no
funds to pay taxes. .,,.--.zs,s@,s- -
The six heirs petitioned the court to
compel the executor to pay the taxes Of
1897, 1898 and 1893, or to sell a certain
portion of the property and devote the
proceeds to the purpose The petition Is
opposed by the five younger heirs and
the executor.

door was discovered. Entering the vacant
building the burglars had been able to
work on the second floor without fear of
detection, and being unable to force the
door open, simply cut away enough of 1t
to afford an entrance. They confined
their operations to the second floor Of the
store, where the firm keeps its surplus
stock and many articles used as prizes.
They rummaged through everything, but
helped themselves first to small articles
OF greatest value, evidently intending to
return for second load. Among the
property stolen were three graphaphones.

dozen pipes six pairs of fur gloves, twen-

young men on the charge Of committing
the robbery. The prisoners are Larry

INTERNATIONAL CYCLISTS.
N. C. A. Is Admitted to Membership
In the Association.

PARIS, Feb. 26-The congress of the
International Cyclists association con-
cluded It's deliberations today, after sew
eral stormy sessions. The question OF
the retirement of the League OF Amerl-
can Wheelmen from the association and
the admission of the National Cycling
association in It's place furnished the sub
ject for warm discussion.
The session was secret, but it trans
pires that President Blaurocl, of the Ma
tional Cycling association, was heard in
support of the request to enter the In
ternational Cyclists association as a
body governing amateur and professional
racing in America.
The fact that Mr.. Ocker, the delegate
of the L. A. w, was allowed to be pres
ent at the discussions and to vote, al
though the League of American Wheel
men resigned it's membership, provoked
protests from the partisans of the Ma
tional Cycling association, especially as
the congress decided not to admit the
latter until notice had been received that
the League of American Wheelmen had
withdrawn from the association. A ca
blegram Of inquiry was subsequently sent
to the League of American Wheeimen,
which replied, confirming its withdrawal
A British delegate and the secretary,
M. Sturmey, then moved that the League
longer governing American racing, should
remain affiliated to the International
Cyclists association and that American
racing men be placed in the same cate
CORY as Germans.
The motions We're rejected and the con-
gress voted the admission of the Nation
al Cycling association as the successor
to the League Of American Wheelmen
AS consequence of the definite settle
ment Of the American conflict, the con-
gress granted full amnesty to all racing
men who had been penalized by either
rival association.
The second important question before
the congress was the proposal to limit
the number of delegates from each
country to two. The British delegates
holly contested this, because, they de-
I elared, it would curtail their influence
in the association, as at present England.
Ireland and Scotland are each repre-
sented by two delegates. The upshot of
the discussion was that Secretary Stur-
mey and the other British representa-
tiVes left the meeting in a huff, declar-
ing that the proposition would wreck
the association. The congress then voted
to censure Sturmey, but on motion of
the president twas decided to adjourn
action on the main proposal until the
next assembly
