WHAT RUMOR SAYS.

Quite a number OF men can be met
any day who are sure that they can
name Commissioner Evans's successor,
and they will give abundant reason
for their faith. They all pick out
good men, the appointment of any one
of whom would be very satisfactory to
the comrades. The number of these
prospective Commissioners, and the
earnestness of their friends for them
speaks well for the abundance of good
material to be found in the Grand Ar
my Of the Republic.
For example, the New Englanders
are quite sure that Ex-Governor Sell
den Corners name will be sent in as
soon as Congress re-conVenes after the
holidays This would be splendid
selection. Comrade Conners is a fine
comradc, vino was terribly wounded
in battle, and his ability and standing
are a!bundantly shown by his Cover
norship of Maine, and the management
of other important Offices. He is pres
emit Pension Agent at Augusta, Me.
Some, who claim to know, are equal
ly positive that it will be Past Com
mander R. B. Brown. of GAINESVILLE. o.
Comrade Brown who made a fine rec
ord in the 18th Ohio, has been Chair
man of the g. A. r. National Commit
tee on Pensions. and his reports have
shown The highest ability. He would
be quite satisfactory.
Captain Archibald Lybrand, at pres
ent Representative from Ohio, is held
by Others to be- surely slated for the
place. He saw three years of hard
service in the 73rd Chic, rose to be
a CAPTAIN, was twice wounded. and is
man Of ability and standing, and
very popular with the Comrades.
The friends of Past Commanders-in-
Chief Lawler and Walker are equally
sanguine OF their appointment-Na-
tional Tribune.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 31.-In the
Botto will case the jury in the Com
mon Pleas division of the jefferson
county Circuit Court this evening
returned verdict that broke the cod
icils to the will of Mrs. Florence Irwin
Botto and sustained the will. The eff
feet of this verdict is to give Will Bot.
to life interest in $4,000, and to his
mother, Cloteal B. Botto, $4,000 in
cash and one-eighth of the residuary
estate.
Mrs. Irwin Botto's estate is worth
$250,000. Her son Guy, now dead, was
an intimate friend of w. M Botto
After her sons death Mrs. Irwin mar
rfed William M. oBtto. who was "a
years her junior. Mrs Irwin Botto
died Feb. IL. 1900. and left will with
three codicils w. NJ. Botto was Civ
en- life interest in $4,000, and his
mother $4,000 in cash and one-eighth
of the reslduary estate.
All codicils increased the share of
Mrs. Botto and her son until VIM. M
Botto's share was one-third of the en-
tire estate. furnished residence and
one-third of the residuary, and his
mothers was over $50, 900 in cash and
one-third of the residuary In max
ing these increases in Botto's shares,
the number of original devisees was
either completely cut off or their be-
quests materially reduced. A number
of local charitable institutions were
handsomely remembered in THE will,
but suffered greatly in the codicils.
Three of CaDtain Twins relatives
and the brother of Mrs. Irwin Botto
were given life interests in $4,000
each.At their death these amounts
were to go into the residuary as other
smaller life interests. There were two
sets of contestants-the heirs of Capt
Irwin and Mrs. Irwin Botto, who wish
ed to upset the will and codicils land
their interests were practically pool
ed) and the devisees under the will
sought to eliminate the Bottos from
the will itself and break the codicils.
The general ground of the suit was al
legged lack of testamentary capacity
and alleged undue influence on the
part of the Bottos.

A much needed commercial facility OF
this city is that of better wharf on
the Muskingum river near the Put
nam street bridge. 1t is necessary to
see the large amount of traffic that
passes over this wharf daily to fully
appreciate its importance to the city.
What is needed Is wharf of suffi-
cient size and paved road of sufi-
cient width leading to Front street.
The wharf and road should be on the
north side of the bridge so that the
Muskingum river boats can do their
unloading without it being necessary
to draw the bridge to let the boats
pass through.

WANTED TO DIE.

John Butler, colored youth about
twenty years old, son of Rev. Press
Butler, who keeps II store on Cherokee
street, became tired of this earthly
existence. on last Friday morning, and
attempted to shuttle off this mortal coil
by the suicide route John borrowed
pistol from his mother and when he
was alone in his store, he placed the
loaded weapon to where John thought
his heart was located, pulled the trig-
ger and bullet went blowing its way
thsough Johns body. John, if he has a
heart, missed it about one inch. John
fell over unconscious, but when Dr..
Malone came, he gave him a stimulant
that aroused him from the shock, and
with the assistance of Dr. Nolan the
bullet was cut out where it had lodged
in his back.
When Marshal Hawkins arrived and
talked to John, he expressed sorrow for
the deed and begged that the doctor
would do all he could to save his life,
that he had a good bank account and
would pay him we'll. He was asked
what was the cause of his attempt at
self-destructinn. He replied cit was
caused by drinking Margaret Battles
blind tiger whiskey, and he wanted her
arrested and prosecuted.
The probability is John will get we'll
and continue to patronize the blind
tiger.
