SAGE WILL CONTEST.

Nephew VIII Claim That Ftnnueter Was
 Unduly Influenced.
 New York, August 2.-Transcript of a judgment agaInst James H. Sage, of Troy, who has announced that he will contest the will of Russell Sage, and has retained Senator Edgar T. Brack- ett as counsel was filed in the New York county clerks of1ce yesterday.
 The claim is for $39S Judgment and was obtained in Troy Gn February 5, 1885, in favor of Clarence K. Bahren- burg, Henry w Bahrenburg and Henry K. Schu1te James K. Sage came here yesterday.
 A. welles Stump. a lawyer for the contestants of the will of Russell Sage, said yesterday that he wished to make 1t plain that if any contest were made, it would not be for the purpose of a strike" for settle ment, but because the heirs were of the opinion that they had not received their full due He intimated that the contest probably would be begun by September 2I.
 It Is pretty we'll understood that the ground for contest will be that Mir Sage was not competent to make a will in 1901. A Wall Street man said yes- terday that MT. Sage was engineering some of his biggest deals about that time.

PITTsBURG, Pa. Nov 9.-There
was great rejoicing in railroad circles
when news came from Westmoreland
county that Judge Doty hal reversed
Justice Louis Strauss, justice of the
peace for suterville, Pa, In which the
Justice had fined an engineer OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad for dash

that no train should be run faster tina
that no train should be run faster than
10 miles per hour.
The decision will likely be Of far
reaching effect on railroad circles. as
1t was carried from the Office of the
Justice Of the peace by the railroad
people as test case, and It was un'
derstood that It would be fought
through all the courts of the land. The
reversal means practically that no Dor
