New York, May 31.--According toE the Tribune's London correspondentr three pictures incrusted with gsime| were recently purchased in a curiosity shop by thrifty husband and wife| in Cheshire, Ena for-dfteen shillings~ Each of these when partially cleaned for the adornment of their modest| dwelling proved to be by a noted painter.

Knowledge that what they had bought for q few shillings was worth E1,0O0s the couple returned to the obscure curir osity shop and bought for E5 a canvas blackened with age, which was in use. for fire screen. This picture when cleaned disclosed the name "Dei Poln-. pa' in one corner, and has been identl-l fled as rare work of an Italian paints CT.

MRS PARSONS WON
Supreme Court Decision is in
 Her Favor.
TEST CASE BY BARLOW BROS.

Case Went to Supreme Court By Agreement of Counsel- Decision Rendered To-day Says Mrs Parsons Is Not Responsible for Deposits in the Bank at the Time of MT Par sons's Death Error Found in Second Count and New Trial Ordered.
 The supreme court has given its de- clsiOn i'll the suit of the Barlow Bros Go vs Mrs Eliza J. Parsons. It is fla vorable to Mrs Parsons. This suit was tried before a jury and Judge George w. Wheeler sometime ago. Two counts were alleged. The first claimed that Mrs Parsons was re- sponsible for the money plaintiff had deposited in the G. s. Parsons & Cos bank the time of MT Parsons's death, amounting to about $1 300. The other held she was likewise responsible for the deposits they had made with the bank after the time of MT Parsons death and up to the date of the ap- pointment of the receivers, which was about $S,000 odd.
 The first count further claimed that Mrs Parsons conducted the bank with
 
 second that she conducted the business after his death as his surviving part ner. Attorneys for the plaintiff were O'Neill and Burpee, for the defendant Williams of Derby and John F. Kel-f logg.
 In his address to the jury the court held that as the law stood a woman who had married before 1877 # could have become her husbands partner in business. The claim of counsel for the plaintiff was that while this was so she could conduct business with her husband. The jury's verdict sus- tained the points laid down by the court, that is, they decided that Mrs Parsons was not her husbands partner in the bank and therefore was mot re- sponsibles for the deposits the plaintiff had in the bank at the time of his death; also that she did conduct the business on her own respOnsibilitH after her husbands death. and was therefore accountable on the second !. count.
 By agreement of counsel on both sides error was allowed and the casa went to the supreme court. The de- clsion of that body as 1t came to town this morning over the telephone from Attorney Williams to William E. Mer-# riman. one of the administrators OF Mrs Parsons's estate, sustained- the verdict of the jury on the first count: that Mrs Parsons was not responsible for the plaintiffs deposits. amounting to S1,300, and error was found on the second count and a new trial granted on that count
 This is looked upon by friends of Mrs Parsons as a big victory for hers It annuls all claims for deposits that were made in possession of the bank up to and at the time of MT Parsonss demise. Attorneys O'Neill and Burpce alone represented about $175O00. which along with others estimate about $269,000. Since the trial of the above suit others have been instituted for small amounts, but the above decision practically disposes of them.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY
Investigatingy Charges of Bribery in
 Honolulu Legislature


 Honolulu, May g, via San Francisco May 31.-The special grand jury, called to investigate the charges of bribery ln the legislature, has had as witnesses, Governor Dole, Attorney General Dole, Secretary of the Territory Cooper and other high officials, and on the refusal of some of them to answer questions, 1t has had them brought into court to show cause why they should not testi- fy.
 The grand jury began it's investiga- tions on a letter from the governor to the legislature, refusing to extend the session because he had information that bribery was taking place. Cover nor Dole appeared before the jury and it is said told all that he knew The other members of the parliament were summoned and all refused to tell what they knew on the ground that the in- formation they had received was in the nature of a privileged" communica- tion having been given to them as gov ernment officials. Secretary Cooper, Attorney General Dole and l.. A. president of the Gazette Publishing company, Were summoned to appear before Judge Humphreys and show cause why they should not tell the grand jury what they had heard re garding bribery and the legislature. Judge Humphreys sustained Dole, as it was shown that he had told the grand jury the names of the men, from whom he had received evidence.
 Thurston told the jury that he heard that legislators had approached a corporation of solicitation of bribes but he declined to give the name of the corporation, on the ground that as at torney he had a right to withhold it, as given in confidence by client to an attorney. Judge Humphreys ad- judged Thurston guilty of contempt, fined him $100 and ordered him into custody until the end of the session of the grand jury or until he should an swer the question of the jury, as to who was the client. He applied to the supreme court for a writ of habeas cor pus and was released on $500 bail.
 The grand jury has indicted Walter J. Smith editor of the Advertiser for perjury. It is alleged in the indictment that he denied knowledge of the name of corporation, said to have been ap- preached by members of the legisla- ture with solicitations for bribes, when in fact he knew the name of the said corporation. Smith was released on $5,00O bail
 Judge Humphreys took the cases of Secretary Cooper and Superintendent of Public Works McCandless under advisement. McCandless has left his office

Peculiar State of Body of Woman
 Buried 30 Years Ago.
 New York, May 31.-Thirty years ago the body of Mrs Josephine Henshaw, weighing about 1S0 pounds, was buried in the old churchyard of the Presby- terian church at West Farms. With the widening of the street line recently, part of the cemetery ground was cut away, and to-day the body of Mrs Henshaw was disinterred for removal to Woodlawn.
 As the grave was opened laborers bent low to raise the body. It would not yield. 1t was like solid clay, the features moulded like statue. Though the coffin was entirely decayed, the shroud of purple silk and the immacu- late linen lawn were in an excellent state of preservation.
 The body weighed fully 300 pounds, and it required the efforts of half a dozen workmen to raise it to the sur face.
