NEW YORK, August 26-EdwarC
Vanderbilt, whose daughter Minerva
says he is so dominated by his sec.
ond wife Mary S. Pepper, the profess
sional medium, that he is incompetent
to manage his own affairs, testified to
day that he had given her large share
of his fortune. He told of presenting
his wife with two houses in the Alast
four months, one as a birthday remem'
brance, the other as a wedding gift
The value of both he estimated at $751;
500. Yet his annual income, he said
was only $4,000.
Mr.. Vanderbilt also expressed belief
in the spiritualistic existence of Bright
Eyes" who in the flesh was an Indian
girl, but who at the present controls
his wife. Bright Eyes" he said, had
brought him messages from his dead
wife, to whom he said he was still mar
ried in spirit Bright Eyes" had even
written him letters from Europe
thanking him for fruit and candy and
a locket and chain which he had pre-,
scented her in the person of Mrs. Pep.

There was as much rivalry among
spirits in keeping tab on things here
below, he said, as among business men
who compete for trade. Spirits have
their wrangles, disagreements, debates
and all that. Now and then they fall
to fighting, hammering each other in a
way that would make the feathers fly,
if spirits only wore feathers.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's examination took
place in Brooklyn before a commission,

The report of the commissioner general

that subsequent to March more than
100000 acres of public lands, previously
held under blanket orders of suspension,

acres were released from forestry with

offensas, hence the gross offenders are
mora particularly sought for"

| of the three victims of the wreck that oc-
CURED at an early hour yesterday morn
ing between Shenandoah Junction and

cumstances under which the accident oc-
CURED, and the Jury held three of the
railroad employees as in part responsible
because Of negligence: Conductor Henry
Hill and FiaEman F. D. Powell Of the

The wreck was caused by two freight
trains coming together on a siding. Con-

freight could warn the engineer of the
express train Of the obstruction upon the
tracks. 1t is stated that the express was
running at the rate of about fifty miles an
hour and that 1t was behind time.
