PLAN FIGHT FOR SAGE WEALTH
Troy Relatives to Contest Will, AIIeg-
ing Undue Influence.

New York, July Delivery dollar of
Russell Sage's great fortune is left to
Mrs. Sage by will made in 1901 ex-
cept an insignificant bequest made to
Mrs Fannie Chaplin, of Oneida, N. Y,
an only sister, who died two years
ago.
The will undoubtedly will be con-
tested by the Troy relatives of Mrs.
Sage, who will charge that the 1901
will was made after a mental break
down on the part of Mr.. Sage, and
that Mrs. Sage exerted undue influ-
ence over him in the distribution of
his wealth.
Not one dollar of the fortune is left
to charity. The only contribution Mr..
Sage ever made during his lifetime
for this purpose was when, after a
years solicitation by Mrs. Sage, he
contributed $4,000 to build a wing
of the Presbyterian hospital, of which
Mrs. Sage was vice president.
! The fortune of Mr.. Sage, which was
popularity believed to be 800, O0O, 900,
and even thought to be greater by the
best informed financial men Of Wall
street, amounts to only about $780,
900.

SLABS DREYFUS' FACE
COWARDLY ATTACK ON MAJOR
AT MILITARY CLUB.
DID NOT RESENT INSULT
Rehabitated Officer Stunned by Treat.
rnent Accorded Him on First Visit
to Exclusive Organization
Since Reinstatement.

Paris. Maj Dreyfus was the vic
tim OF a cowardly attack in the Mill
itary club Wednesday night, where all
the officers were assembled to give a
reception to the Thirteenth regimen,
artillery, to which Dreyfus and Com
mandant large, one of his shameless,
defenders, are attached.
The moment Dreyfus and his friend
large presented themselves in the
salon of the Cercle Militaire com
mandant, whose name is still un
known, approached Dreyfus and
slapped him squarely in the face.
Dreyfus was stunned at the treat
ment accorded him on his first visi
to the club, which is the most excll
sive in France, since he was restored
to the army, but he did not resent the
insult.
The club Immediately became di
vided into two hostile camps, how
ever, one favoring and the other op
posing Dreyfus, and general CLASH
resulted between the officers. Dur
ing the melee, it is said, many Of
those engaged were painfully injured
The doors of the club instantly were
closed.
The assault is regarded as part of 9
conspiracy to reopen the Dreyfus at
fair. The commandant who insulted
Dreyfus will, 1t Is said, refuse to meet
Dreyfus in duel in the hope Dreyfus
will tire of the humiliations his asso
ciates appear determined to heap up
on him and quit the army.
M. Eitenne, minister of war, will
order the arrest of the commandant
and subject him to trial.
Dreyfus was accompanied to the re-
ception by Joseph Reinach, one of his
supporters. The reception was in
tended to be great compliment to
the reinstated officer. 1t was the in
tention of Dreyfus to start for two
months vacation in Switzerland.

Collision Between Freight and Pas
senger Train-Injures %.
Charlotte, N. C.-ln one of the
worst railroad casualties in the
history of this section, about 20 peo-
pie were killed and more than that
number injured as the result of a
head on collision between a through
east-bound passenger train and an ex-
ira freight near Rockingham, N. c.,
four miles west of Hamlet, at $50
o'clock Sunday evening. Many of the
victims are said to be negroes.
The official reports sent to the gen.
eral Offices of the Seaboard line
showed that 10 dead and % injured
had been taken out of the wreck.
The officials of the road attribute
the disaster to the failure of the tele-
graph operator at Rockingham to de-
liver orders to the passenger train.
Engineer F. B. Lewis, of Hamlet,
and Fireman Tom Hill, of the pessen-
ger train, were killed. The negro fire.
man of the freight also is said to have
been killed while the engineer of the
freight saved himself by jumping.
Only a few of the bodies extricated
from the wreck have been identified.

This decision, it is learned on the
