Left Nothing to His Only Son-Will to
be Contested.-Th death of Mr.. Henry Win
ter at his home near Ellicott City, was briefly
noted in THE UNION last week. A letter from
Ellicott City, dated January 9TH, says:
1.-THE will of Mr.. Winter, which. it is under
stood, disposes of large estate. variously esti-
mated at from $3.50, 900 to $500 600, was filed in
who, with the Safe Deposit and Trust Com.
pany, is named as executors. The win leaves
all the estate to the testators sister, Mrs. Elisa
Winter Gillet. of Glencoe, Baltimore county,
for life and after her death to her children, and
deprives his son and only child of all share in
it by the following provision TO my son.
Harry Winter, leave nothing. / mention his
name only to show that have not forgotten
him. The document was executed last April.
1t is said that the father and son had some diff
ficulty many years ago and the father never be-
came reconciled. The son, whose home is in
Virginia, came on here after his fathers death
and attended the funeral today.
1.-The children of Mrs. Gillet mentioned in
the will are Catherine Winter Gillet, Elisa Gill
let, now Mrs. Henry Coolidge; Emily A. Gillet,

lawyers made inquiries as to the next meeting
of the Orphans Court, when, it is presumed,
the will will be probated and when proceed
ings will probably be instituted to contest its
provisions.

and the prominence of the parties concerned

day, January. I'd. The examining committee,
composed of Messrs. j. B. Hanna, ]. M. Street,

reviewing the operations of the company the
committee made the following recommends
tions:
IL That the new bylaws adopted by the d.
rectors, under special authority contained in
the charter, which under the law are effective
until the annual meeting to be held January
I'd, 1905, be adopted as a whole.
(2) That the president of the company be
directed to enforce bylaw No. IL, which pro
vides that directors of the company shall make
monthly settlements of balances in their hands.
~ That insurance be written in any of the
counties of Maryland, instead of combining the
operations to Hartford and Baltimore counties,
as has been the policy of the company. 1t is

gines.
