New Trial Refused.

Judges Urner and Motter, in the Circuit
Court here, have overruled the motion for
new trial in the Sarah Ann Gardner will
case. The arguments on the motion were
heard about two weeks ago, new trial
being asked on the ground that the verdict
of the jury was not in accordance with
the evidence; that the jury failed to follow
the instructions of the court and that the
court erred in some of its rulings.
Mrs. Gardner. who lived at Kensington,
this county, died about two years ago,
leaving an estate valued at about $25, 900.
The sole beneficiary under the will was
Harry W. Houston, of Washington, the
adopted son of her dead brother.
Judge VIM T. Houston and John o. Hous-
ton, of Washington, brother and nephew.
respectively. of Mrs Gardner. instituted
proceedings attacking the validity of the
will on the ground that at the time of its
execution Mrs. Gardner was of unsound
mind. and the verdict Of the jury upheld
that contention.

Bolt Kills Golfer.

Tristan Burgess Johnson, of New York,
recently appointed solicitor of the Navy
department, was struck by lightning last
Sunday afternoon about 2 O'Clock and in
stantly killed before the eyes of scores of
society women and men well known in
official life, and almost within stones
throw of the Chevy Chase clubhouse.
Mr.. johnson had been playing golf with
Francis B. Poe, of Washington city, and
was in the open when the bolt struck. Mr.
Poe and the caddy, dozen yards away,
were hurled violently to the ground, but
were uninjured. Mr.. Johnsons body was
mutilated almost beyond recognition. His
clothing was ripped into shreds Surgeon
General Stokes, of the navy, who was at
the club, and was the first to reach the
stricken man, declared death had been
instantaneous.
Mr. johnson was fully 80 yards from the
nearest tree. The bolt came at the be-
ginning of a slight electrical storm. He
had sliced his ball off the course, and was
walking toward it with his club over his
shoulder. Without warning came the flash
and deafening clap of thunder, simultane-
ously.
When Mr.. johnson was picked up it was
found that the bolt had made hole in
his left shoulder small and almost as clearly
cut as the incision of knife. His hair
was burned off, and his face was blackened
beyond recognition. The burn ran down
both shoulders. The bolt evidently passed
through his body and down his legs, burn
ing hole in the sole of his shoe and tear
ing the leather to small shreds. The trous-
ers and other garments were completely
burned and the flesh on his legs charred.
The fire spread to the grass and burned a
space of 10 feet about him. The ground
in the immediate vicinity was torn up.
The accident stopped the golf for the
day, Matches had been arranged and
players had begun to start out for the
afternoon round of the course, but all play
was abandoned when the news reached
The clubhouse.
Had this accident occurred on any other
day of the week, President Taft in all pro-
liability would have been upon the links.
He goes over the same course almost every
afternoon in the summer months. Nearly
every member of the cabinet and every
person of prominence in official life in
Washington is a habitue of this course or
has tried to become a proficient at golf
upon il at some time.
Mr.. johnson was 80 years old. He re-
ceived his appointment as solicitor for the
Navy Department as reward for his polit-
ical services as head of the Republicans in
the board of aldermen in New York. LloydC.
Griscom recommended him for the position.
