This picture came into the possession

This picture came into the possession of his daughter, Josephine Marshall Jewell Dodge, to be hers for life and on her death to come into my possession. We realize that the proper place for such painting is the city of Hartford. We, therefore, would be glad to present the picture to the Hartford Atheneum for all time as a memorial to Governor Jewell.
 If you will accept this gift we will have it shipped at once. It may be of interest to know that the carved deco rations in the corners of the frame are made from part of the Charter Oak it. self. Yours truly.
 MARSHALL JEWELL DODGE.
 A description of the painting is given in letter from Charles D'Wolf Brow nell himself, December 29, 1882, to Gov ernor Jewell. He says that the picture was begun July 27, 1857. All other sketches of the Charter Oak that have appeared-on bank notes, etc.-have been taken from the street, where the tree presented a rounded head, with none of the remarkable branching that stretched southward toward the slope of the hill In no respect, he says, do any of them furnish even fair sugges- ton of the true appearance of the noble Eold oak. The ordinary selection of a point of view doubtless resulted from natural inclination to look in at the his- toric hole, which opened on the street side. Hartford Times.

AII.ING EsTATE sItED.

A claim for $15,000, which would more
 than absorb the estate, having been
 presented against the late Harriet
 Amelia Alling, daughter of Truman
 filling, commissioners were appointed
 in the probate court yesterday by Judge
 Cleveland to consider the matter. Judge
 R. H. Tyner and Lawyer J. B. Ullman were named.
 The claim presented is by Lawyer Charles T Coyie on behalf of the late
 James Shields, the ball player, who was found dead in bed in en Italian lodging
 house last week.
 Miss AllinG's estate was inventoried at s12, 2s3.34. In q will by which she
 gave all her property to relatives. she made D. R. Alling and Charles F. All ing, brothers, executors.
 The allegation is that with the ex- cec.ion of year and a half Shields had worked continuously for Miss All /, ing in caring for her property since April 2. 1882. Miss filling lived at 17O Putnam street, and she owned three
 houses. Shields. in a statement made just before his death, asserted that he cared for the furnaces, cut the grass shingled the roofs, carted out ashes
 cleared the walks and did all the work 1 Miss Alling was twice married. Her 1 last husband was a policeman named 1 Sweet, from whom she obtained q di- vorce and who subsequently, committed l suicide
