YACHT HAD CLOSE CALL.
Was Nearly Crushed by the Propeller John
B. Collins.

The propeller John B. Collins came
very near crushing H. @. Perrine's
yacht Hadassah Friday evening. The
Hadassah was lying at P~errine's dick
in Cheesequake creek just above the
railroad bridge.
The Collins came down the creek
loaded with produce from the various
farms bound for New York, and just
as she got abreast of the yacht she
ran into a mud bar and before she
could be gotten off she swung around.
II it had not been for the quick work
of the crew of the yacht and some
friends of the crew from Applegate's
hotel, who cast the yacht loose and
pushed her back, there would not
have been much left of the Hadassah.
The Collins, after considerable
churning, got off of the bar and re-
turned to her dock at the head of the
creek. She did not leave it again
until Sunday afternoon, when she
proceeded on her way to New York.

THE FAIR WILL.
Alleged Last Testament Mentions
Mysterious Heir.

Alleged Last Testament Mentions
Mysterious Heir.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. - What
purports to be the last will and tesla
ment of Charles L. Fair has made its
way through the mail to the chambers
of Superior Judge f. j. Murasky.
On opening the envelope Judge Mu-
rasky found what purports to be a will
signed by Charles L. Fair and wit
messed by the late l.. W. Lees and w.
H. L. Barnes. 1t was short and type
written. Mr.. Fairs signature and that
of the two alleged witnesses being
written in ink.
In this alleged will Mr.. Fair mentions
his son Charles j." and to him he be-
queaths the sum of $500, 900. In adj
dition to this bequest, the sun of $780,
600 is bequeathed to 1.-The Roman Cath
Ollie Orphan asylum" 100000 to 80
seph Harvey and $40, 600 ''to the city
of San Francisco for the purpose Of
founding a hospital"
The residue of the testator's estate is
left to his wife, who is named as ex-
ecutriX. The alleged will is dated at
San Francisco April 16. 1901.
The mysteries of this purported will
are increased by the Identification of
an alleged heir in the person of
Charles L. Fair, Jr. This heir was
limited at some months ago by Attorney
William Cannon. who stood sponsor for
it, as entitled to a share of the estate
of the dead millionaire. The child,
however, was never produced in the
flesh, and the attorney never disclosed
the identity of the mother.
Attorney Cannon said of the alleged
will:
81 believe it is a fake and win not
ask that it be admitted for probate.
AS far as the child of Charles L. Fair
is concerned. l have nothing further to
say at this time"

M~ILLIoNAIREs ON TRIAL.
Mans1aughter Charged In TroIIe
Disaster Case.

Disaster Case.
NEWARK, N. j, Sept. 1.-Crowds
filled the old courthouse here as never
before when the trial of the trolley
road directors who were indicted fol
manslaughter in connection with the
Clifton avenue trolley car disaster OF
Feb. 10 last was called.
Chief Justice Gummere and Justices
Van Sickle and Dixon heard the evi-
dence. The scene was one out of the
ordinary at manslauShter trials be
cause at least SIX of the defendants are
m~illionaires or multimillionaires.
There were nine killed in the acct
dent, eight girls and a boy, all high
school pupils. but only one of the vic
tins was selected on which to base q
case. That was Ernestine Miller. The
%coroner's jury returned a verdict OF
manslaughter against the executive
committee of the directorate of the
company and also against the employ
ees named above for having caused her
death. 1t is OF this Indictment that
they are at the bar for trial.
Prosecutor Riker opened for the state,
reciting the nature of the accident, the
condition of the tracks and dangers
of the crossing. He said that as long
ago as 1899 the necessity for a derail-
ing switch was apparent to both the
railroad and street car companies. On
the morning of the accident the cross
ing was covered with snow and ice, SO
that the brake shoes of the car We're
clogged. In consequence the car slipped
down the incline, smashed through the
gates and collided with the train. He
said that common prudence demanded
clear racks. empty front platforms, so
as not to interfere with the motorman,
and a safety derailing switch. These
were absent in this case.
He then named the defendants indi-
vidually and stated that they were
aware of the condition Of the tracks;
that they knew about the crossings and
they had done nothing to avoid the ac-
cident. He then asked that they be adj
judged guilty of the charge in the in
dictment.
Mrs. Minnie NJ. Horle. sister of Err
nestine Miller, was then called. She
was in deep mourning and displayed
considerable emotion. To save her the
ordeal of lengthy t%estifying Mr.. Linda
bury soon announced that the defense
would admit all it was desired TO prove
by her. She was then excused, and
Chief Judge Gummere said:
Let it be entered upon the record
that the defense admits that the death
of Ernestine Miller resulted from inju-
ries received in a collision between a
trolley car and a Lackawanna train at
the Clifton venue crossing OF Feb.
49,"
And" interrupted Mr.. Lindabury,
that she was a passenger on a car
owned by the North Jersey Street Rail
way company, the one which was in
collision with the train"
