TAKEN AN APPEAL
Mrs Williams will Not Accept
Judge Curiis's Decision.

The last of the litigation for SUI
premacy in the Apothecaries Hall
company has not ySt been reached.
Mrs Ella S. Williams has taken an
appeal from the decision of Judge
Curtis in the superior court in or
dering distribution of the famous
400 shares of stock in the company
as decreed in the will OF the late A,
E. Rice, grandfather Of the present
A. e. Rice. The will decreed that
the stock be evenly dis ributed be-
tween Mr. Rice's children upon the
demise of his widow, Sarah Hough-
ton Rice, who died about a year
ago. Mrs Williams, who is one OF
the heirs, being a daughter OF MI
Rice, asked the probate court 10 Is
sue an order to sell the stock. The
probate court declined to do so and
the matter was taken to the supe-
rior court which approved of the
action of the probate court. Mrs
Williams, her nephew, A. e. Rice,
and certain others interested in
the matter offered 100000 for the
stock while it was in the hands OF
the trustee, FRANKLIN A. Taylor. Now
Attorney c. G.. Root, counsel for Mrs
Williams, and Mr. Rice is confident
that the supreme court will overdue
the decision of Judge Curtis, which
will mean, if such happens, re-
trial of the whole case.

Mrs Michael Molloy Of Hartford
is visiting relatives in this section.
There will be meeting of the
st Thomas Cadets tomorrow morn

ident, Richard Baldwin; recording
secretary, John Carney; financial sec
rotary, Patrick Donahue; treasurer,

According to DIR A. A. Crane, the
Town Plot Improvement society is
almost as aged as Noah's ark. AT the
Y. NJ. G. A. banquet last evening he
stated that he remembered the time
when the green was nothing but a

ed In several store windows in this
section yesterday: Because of the
big change in weather, the manager
and captain of the Brooklyn Business
Mems baseball team has decided not
to hold practice this afternoon, as he
fears practice might result In several
cases of "charliehorse." They would
then be in the same condition as the
letter carriers.
Judging from the manner in
which Mr. Wind BILE along Bank
street to-day, the weather is the big
gest Joke of the month. The clouds
of dust that a person encountered
from the old station TO the Bank
street would make him think he was
in the center Of Il sand storm.
Hogan" Clark, who is working
i'm Bridgeport has sent a letter Of con-
graduation 10 the Brooklyn polo
team. He also stated that he did not
care for any of the prize money, but
the other players at a meeting last
evning insisted on sending a portion
of il TO the eX-gOal tend who was so
conspicuous in many Of the Brooklyn
victories. The players are afraid
Hogan" may send back the money.
