NEW HAVEN, Conn, March B.
Judge Thayer in the superior court has
decided against the efforts of counsel
for William j. Bryan to get before the
court as aid to construe the will itself
the sealed letter left by Philo s. Ben
nett giving Mr.. Bryan and family $780,
600. The decision was one sustaining
a demurrer of Mrs. Grace Imogene
Bennett, the widow, to Mr., Bryan's
answer. 1t is regarded as a setback
for Mr.. Bryan, as it reserves decision
on the point most vital to Mr.. Bryan
for the other suits. The value of the
sealed letter cannot be raised as a dec
laration of trust in this action, which
is brought to secure a judicial con
struction of the will.

FORT SCHLOSSER.
Old Stone Chimney STANDS an me-

City of Detroit.

AS we enter the suburbs OF Niagara
Falls. writes Eben P. Dorr, in Four
Track News, on the left, now nesting
amongst huge brick factories, is the pic
turesoue stone chimney known as fort
Schlosser." This old stack, which has
been spared in the march of improve
ments, has weathered many seasons
since its capacious tiue drew the sparks
from J~oncaire's hearth in the days OF
the French occupation. Standing at the
head of the old portage around the falls,
the Joneaire house was a landmark OF
Importance in the early settlement OF
he frontier. Several buildings have
been located here. The chimney, OF sub
stantial limestone masonry, remains a
mute witness of the onward sweep OF
civilization, and the vast changes of two
| centuries in the environment of the
cataract. The English, in 1760, erected
a stockade here, and named it Fort
Schlosser," in honor of the officer in
command.
