Not Divulaed.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-THE fight
between two women over the distriDu-
tion of the $50, 000, 900 estate of The
late William Weightman, the chemist,
was abruptly halted by the production
Of a small piece of note paper that had
turned yellow with age. What the
piece of paper contained was not made
public and the few persons who have
seen it have pledged themselves never
to reveal its contents. The halt in
the proceedings was made at the sug-
gestion of counsel for Mrs. Jones
Wister, who is acting as guardian for
her daughter, Martha, the contestant.
William Weightman in 1884 made a
will leaving his vast estate equally be-
tween Anne NJ. Weightman Walker,
his daughter, and two sons, William
and John. Ten years later he made
a new will, leaving his entire estate
to the daughter, the two sons having
died, leaving eight children. The
widow of William Weightman, the
mother of five children, married Jones
Wister and when Mr.. Weightman, her
f~ather-in-Iaw, died, she contested the
will on behalf Of her minor daughter,
Martha, on the ground that Mr..
Weightman left a codicil in which he
provided for the grandchildren. Mrs.
VNolkQr dnnfnH thof her fofhor bod
made a codicil.
Produced the Slip Of Paper.
Edward T. Davis, for many years
private secretary to Mr.. Weightman,
who was a witness to the signing OF
the last will, was asked If he remem.
bered Mr.. Weightman subsequent to
drawing up his will, writing some.
thing on a piece Of note paper and
placing it In his desk. He said he
had, but did not know what was writ
ten. Thereupon Alexander Simpson
Jr., of counsel for Mrs. Walker, de-
manded the production of the paper.
II was produced and read by Mrs
Wister's attorneys. The witness said
It looked like the paper he had seer
MI. Weightman write.
After C Mr.. Simpson announced
that counsel for both sides had held a
conference and at the request of Mrs
Wister's lawyers the opposing side
had consented to a continuance of the
case. This sudden halt In the pro-
ceedings caused a sensation, and ru-
mors were circulated that the case had
been compromised. All attorneys de-
MED that a compromise had been
agreed to, but it was admitted that
the piece of paper was the cause of
the sudden turn of affairs. Mrs. Wal
ker appears satisfied with the ar
rangements and it is intimated that
the Wisters will take nc further ac-
ton.

 For instance it has been stated that there were as many as 75 lives lost ,u the Valencia hotel but so far as WI have been able to ascertain the loss did not exceed 20. I believe that there are similar discrepancies which will be discovered later after thorough ex. animation of the records and search of the ruins"
