ADVISORY MASTER
SUSTA|NS WILL
Of MRS. HEALY
Finds Testatrix Was of Sound
Mind When She Left Proper
ty to FavOrite Niece.

In an opinion filed today Advisory
Master Charles +. Kocher, sitting in
the Orphans Court, directed that the
Will of Mrs. Mary Healy, who died in
this city October 5 last, be admitted to
probate. The decision ends a long and
stubborn fight over a comparatively
small estate.
The testatrix made a win three days
before her death, ~bequeathing 81 each
to James, Michael and Margaret Nc
Council, nephews and niece, and left
the residue of her estate to another
niece. Mary n Clark. of 1875 Com
merce street, who had cared for her in
her last illness.
Soon after the will had been filed the
disappointed nephews and niece
brought a caveat, declaring that the
testatrix lacked testamentary capacity
and was unduly influenced by the niece
who secured her property.
Advisory Master Koch finds that the
caveators have not sustained their con
tentions and that the testatrix was OF
sound mind and was not unduly inf1u-
enced in executing her will.

JERSEY CITY, April 2.-B1own from
his swinging chair by a sudden and
violent gust of wind. Joseph P. Bailey,
a steeplejack, this morning hung by his
fingers to the rim of a gigantic smoke
stack, two hundred feet above the
ground, while a horror stricken crowd
watched his swaying body and waited
for 1t TO fall. But, by a display of mag
nificent nerve, Bailey worked his way,
hand over hand, to the other side of the
stack. where his chair had been blown.
Working his body into position, he
dropped back into tho chair. He did
little work or the stack for an hour
after the ordeal, and was as white as
a sheet. .
ut was the closest cal 1 ever had, .
said Bailey.
The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company is erecting a factory at Bay
and Provost streets, Jersey City. a
big smokestack has been placed on the
building, and Bailey was sent on from
Pennsylvania to complete the job. He
came to Jersey City a week ago, and is
boarding at 25s Grove street.
From the top of the stack Bailey has
a clear view of New York Harbor.

st. Louis National Convention
Opens, but Three States
May Bolt.

ST. LOUIS, April 1.-The Populist
national convention was late in conven-
ing today. The cause of this was the
renewed efforts of the Bryan men to
procure an agreement for an adjourn
ment until after the Republican and
Democratic conventions. They made
strong arguments. but with no appar-
ent effect. They said some of the dele
gates present had been improperly
chosen and that the entire call for the
convention Was illegal. The determine
ton of Nebraska, Minnesota and Michi-
gan to bolt the convention, if the pro-
gram of making nominations is carried
out, was unaltered today.
When the convention came to order
James H. Ferris. of Joliet, chairman
of the national committee, addressed
the delegates as follows:
"The Peoples party is the only party
thoroughly united and entirely har-
monious upon the great issues under
discussion He declared that the
financial panic was caused by general
distrust of well-known rascals. There
can never be permanent confidence
without public ownership, because un-
der government ownership there can
be no Juggling of securities. With the
government ownership of public utili-
ties there would be perfect confidence
in railroad securities, less rotten poll
tics. cheaper rates to the shippers and
many other public benefits.
at has become a policy of the best
Presidents of the nation to turf out
government bonds to stock-jobbing
pets whenever Wall Street is dull, but
the farmer, the manufacturer and the
miner, with the best of security, cannot
obtain government assistance at any
price"
MI. Ferris declared himself as being
in favor of "the most dead open-and-
shut plank against the manufacture,
transportation and sale of alcohol or
any other poison for eating or drinking
purposes"

BRING GAMBLERS
TO PUNISHMENT
Tells Police Husband Loses His
Earnings Playing Cards
in a Saloon.

Upon complaint of a wife, who de-
clared her husband had gambled away
his earnings. Antoine stanislawitz, a
saloon-keeper, of 11S Adams street, was
fined $3.50 by Judge Howell in the
Third Precinct Police Court today. for
being the proprietor of a ~disorderly
house, and Jonas Miskunas, 20 years
old, of 26S Elm street. $40 for gambling
in the saloon.
1t was Mrs, Agnes Kolkowski. of 5
Clover street. who made the complaint.
She called on Captain Peter J. Christie,
of the Third Precinct, last night, and
told him that her husband, Peter, had
lost $50 gambling at Stanislawitz's
place. The captain sent out Plain
clothesmen Brex and Saslow to bring in
the husband, who then identified the
other two men.
On the way to the station Miskunas
threatened Kolkowitz for '~tsquealing."
and for that offense Judge Howell to-
day put him under $500 bond to keep
the peace. He went his own bail and
paid his fine, as did Stanislawitz.
The game played was "21," it is said.
