An order restraining his clients,

drawing any money from the estate of
their father, Robert Anterior, de-
ceased, was agreed to by Wayne Du-
mont before Vice-C Chancellor Stevens
today, when Frederick l.. Atherton
applied for such, together with an APP
piication for a construction of his
fathers will. Robert Atherton was
the founder of the Anterior Machine
Works, OF Paterson. and died August
5, 1908, leaving an estate valued at
about $50, 900.
The will of Atherton. which was
drawn on March II. 1902, gives out
right to his wife. Emma E. Anterior,
the house and household effects and
also gives her for life the balance of
his estate, both real and personal.

clause 1t gives them outright S. 900 each.

mands for the SIS, 200 each but have met

NAME GU|OERA
AS CAPTAIN IN
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Lieutenant Crossman Turned
Down, Though lie Heaes
Civil Service List.
ALSO A WAR VETERAN.
BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP
as in Hl-heaIth.' That's What
His Opponents Say in
Explanation.

After a long fight Lieutenant Ed win
A. Crossman, of Truck Company No. !,
who headed the civil service list for
captains, failed to be promoted last
night by the Fire Board. Lieutenant
Denis Guidera, Of Truck Company No.
8, the second mar on the list, was
named In his place.
Those who voted for Lieutenant
Guidera were Commissioners strattoa,
Lagay n Weber. while President
Thomas e. Burke ehampioned the cause
of Lieutenant Crossman. President
Burke. In opposing Guidsra. said he
had nc fault to And with him as an
officer or a fireman, but it was solely
because Crossman was at the head of
the list, and also because he was a
veteran of the Civil War, which, ac-
cording to his Interpretation OF the
civil service law, gave him precedence
of others on the civil service list, and
he commended that he had consulted
good lawyers on the subject and they
be named for the first vacancy that
existed. Commissioner Matthias STRAIT.
ton. who seconded Commissioner WIZ
lam A. Weber's nomination of LieuteiI-
Guidera, said that the reason he op-
posed Crossman was that he had been
informed that the latter WAS In H.
health, and he believed that for the
good Of the department Guidera should
be named, ana then the written state
msnt from Gardner Colby, chief OF the
Civil Service Examining Board, that be-
cause Lieutenant Crossman was at the
head of the list and a veteran Of this
Civil Wan need not prevent the Fire
Board from selecting any other mai on
the civil service list. President Burke
said Mr.. Colby's opinion would nor
sway him in the least, as the Law on
the subject was too plain for any mis-
Interpretation, and he could not vote
for n one but Lieutenant Crossmar,
who, as far as he knew. was just a.
well and as able to do fire duty as any
other mar in the department from the
down. When the vote was taken
the nominations. President Burke re-
fused to make Lieutenant Guidera's
unanimous n was re,
corded as voting for Crossman. The
matter. it is said, win be taken up by
the Grand Army men. as they believe
that Lieutenant Crossman las been
wronged In the matter.
The board officially accepted the now
training stable and repair shop in Pros
pect street yesterday afternoon ans
later watched the official test Of 4 new
