she must make will had nothing to do
with its contents, and the earn ng capa-
city of the husband was not an issue, and
counsel acquiesced in this view of the
court.
Mr.. Hendrickson made statement. He
said he took the case in good faith, and
informed his clients that it was a matter
which should be settled out of court, but
the contestants insisted that it should be
carried up, and the proponents were quite
willing. Counsel did not know that I'M
willing witnesses were to appear, aud for
the future happiness Of the members Of
that family, he was of the opinion that
the will should be admitted to probate
and an order to that effect was issued by
Judge Gaskill, who made it plain that
Mr.. Hendrickson was not to blame for the
case being thrown out of court, and that
he very properly advised his clients.
Mr.. Watts objected to the expense and
counsel fee coming from the estate, on
the ground that under the testimony
there was nothing in the case to warrant
such al order from the court.
Judge Gaskill said there was no justifi-
cation for the suit, and he ordered Van
schuyler to pay his counsel and all his
own expenses.
On motion of Blanchard H. White,
Anna NJ Butterworth was appointed
guardian of Martha Hilliard, lunatic.
On motion of Howard Flanders, an or
der of distribution was made in the es-
tate of Abner Durell.
On motion of Ernest Watts, an order
was made confirming sale of lands in the
estate of Sarah j. McKeown.
On motion of Samuel A. Atkinson, and
on the agreement of Charles Evan Mer-
rift, representing the proponent in the es-
tate of Margaret Nixon, on caveat filed
against her will, the case was withdrawn
by Mr.. Atkinson, who, after full exami-
nation of the matter, was satisfied that
the will was properly executed, and also
from the fact that the testatrix was fully
competent to make a will, as from the
examination CT the attending physician
at the time of making the will, which
the court ordered should be probated
The Landing of Steamship.
Through the courtesy of Frank L. Gar
barino, of Mount Holly, who is employed
as Government Inspector of Immigration,
besides acting as an interpreter, steno-
oro F1h IN ho of L.
District Attorney, and member of the
Board of Inquiry, representative of THE
News was shown a sight on Tuesday,
the landing of the American Line steam
ship Haverford, at the foot of Washing
ton avenue, Philadelphia. On the vessel
were 1874 cabin passengers, 905 immigrants
and two stowaways.
| Many came to America seeking new
homes, some of them having nothing and
others being in possession of few dol
lars. Their condition afforded an inter-
esting study in human nature. Among
them were Russians, Italians, Poles, Jews
and Hungarians, with women and chill
dren especially plentiful
The Haverford was sixteen DAYS com.
ing from Liverpool, being two days over
due because of very rough passage
During the first three days most of the
immigrants were confined to their beds by
seasickness.
Passing through fumigating process,
the weary passengers, glad to get on land
Tno hoA h.
ship to the immigration Station, where
they were driven into pens like so many
sheep, the quarters allotted to them being
totally inadequate for the purpose, carry
ing with it a suggestion of cruelty.
After the Inspectors and their guests
had take dinner on the immense passen-
ger steamship, the officers began their
work of inspection with Dr. Clark, the
| United States marine surgeon, in charge
of the sta ton. In this direction particu-
lar attention was given to discover any
who might be deemed undesirable About
forty were placed in separate quarters to
receive special attention from the Board
of Inquiry, and some of them will be de-
ported. Each passenger is obliged to give
answer to long list of questions on both
sides of the ocean, and if an untruth is
detected they are sent to OBTAINING room.
Those who passed muster were sent
down stairs, and after their baggage had
been inspected by the custom officers,
they were permitted to depart. About
five hundred persons were in waiting to
receive relatives aud friends.
Trachoma, contagious disease of the
eyes, elected special vigilance from DR..
Clark, who detected bad case on Rus
sian. David Zelovitch, who was rendered
nearly blind, and his deportation was OF
dered without further ceremony. When
informed of his condition by an interpre-
ter, the young man made a sensational
attempt to escape Slipping out of win
dow he crept along the ledge of the build
ing and dropped to the ground, distance
of nearly one hundred feet, injuring his
head and back. After short chase the
desperate fugitive was captured and re-
turned to strong quarters
Behind the arrival and attempted es-
cape of Zelovitch, there is a pathetic
story. Young Zelovitch had resided with
his mother on a small farm in the country
district of Warsaw. His father and four
brothers had been cOnscripted and killed
at the front. Three months ago the young
man reached his majority and was at once
| eeized nv COssackc and forcad 70 ioin RI q
reserves. He was sent to barracks in
Warsaw, where after a weeks stay he,
together with five others, made their es-
cape by saving down the iron bars over
the window in the room where they were
detained. Zelovitch, by means of a cousin,
sent word to his mother, informing her of
his escape and of his intention of fleeing
to this country to an uncle in New York
for her upon his arrival in this country
The mother forwarded to her son nearly
all her savings. The young man succeed
ed in getting out of Russian territory into
Liverpool and took passage on the Haver-
ford.
He was in perfect health when the ves-
sci sailed, but after few days out Zelo-
vented him from entering this country.
When told that he would have to return
Zelovitch begged to be permitted to land.
He declared through an interpreter that
