Witness Brought From Ceylon.

The chief witness brought here to es-
tablish Stewards claim to one-sixtieth
of the Stewart millions was Father John
F.tzpatrick, who came from Ceylon to
give his testimony.
Alexander T. Stewart died in 1876.
Among his holdings was the property at
Nos. 72G, 7oS and $50 Broadway, the
Stewart building, Park Avenue Hotel.
the Manhattan Club building and the st.
Nicholas Hotel.

in the supreme court decided against
Stewart on an alienship point. Then the
case was taken before the court of APP
was upheld.
Through the months of fighting Stewart
lost what little money he had saved to
bring witnesses and engage lawyers. He
claimed that his great-grandfather was a
first cousin of Alexander T. Stewart, and
that after the merchant died his grand
father failed to contest the will.
1t was estimated that the heirs of
Henry Hilton, who came into possession
Of the fortune after the death of Alexan-
der r. Stewart. enjoyed the income from
many million dollars.

Deposits Steadily Inore asing.

The number Of depositors in the post.
tai savings department at the local
post Office reached twenty on Saturday
last with total amount to their credit
of $i3l6 This sum is in excess Of The
amount on deposit at the end of four
months in the first Offices established in
fourteen states, which makes a good
showing for Owosso. A strange fea-
ture of the deposits is that not single
stamp card or savings stamp has been
sold. These cards sell for ten cents
and each has printed thereon one ten
cent stamp, when nine more of these
savings stamps are placed on the card
it is received in exchange for a dollar
certificate and an account is then open

A Busy Official.

One of the busiest men in town these
days is Street Commissioner Eugene
Brewer who hustles from early morn
ing until late in the day, directing the
men at work for the city under him.
Everybody employed by the city has to
move rapidly to keep pace with the
''boss" who is on hand here and there
all about the city to see that things do
move. Mr.. Brewer has been handi-
capped since assuming the position be.
cause of the desire of the city fathers to
make some radical changes in the man
ner of handling various lines of work,
particularly that on the streets and un-
til the question of the purchase of a
stone crusher was finally settled by the
favorable action of the council Monday
evening plans could not be perfected.
Now that the crusher has been ordered
it will not be long before Owosso will
see some of the right kind of road work
done. The aldermen will doubtless be
asked to build curbs and macadamize
two or three streets, the expense to be
divided between the property owners,
the general and ward highway funds,
which will not be heavy burden for
the individual and will give the city
roads which will not call for the con-
slant expenditure of money each year.
Mr.. Brewer made start toward re-
pairing the asphalt pavement on Wash
ington street this week and if the work
seems satisfactory after it has stood
few days the entire street will be put in
shape. 1t is believed the work can be
done at q small fraction of the cost
asked by outside contractors. He also
has ether men at work trimming shade
trees, cutting weeds, etc., while the
sidewalk gang is now organized and
will 60 to work at once. In this con-
nection new forms" have been pur-
chased which will be used in building
sidewalks with the belief that better
work and at less cost will be DONE
During the week several of the streets
have been put in shape by the use of a
tooth drag-a new implement which
cuts the high spots in the road-and a
road grader which draws the dirt loos-
ened into the low places and rounds up
the road in splendid shape. A traction
engine is used to draw the machines
which work together. The use of these
implements will do away with the ne.
cessity of hauling loads of gravel to be
dropped here and there and will result
in large saving to the highway fund.
Mayor Sprague is watching all this
work closely, giving an unusually large
amount of time to the duties of his Office
and has the cordial cooperation of the
aldermen in everything which tends to
benefit the city and lessen the expendi-
lures.
Judging by results to date the present
administration will set fast pace for
succeeding ones.
