AWARD OF $500
FOUND IN BANK

Judge Robinson has decided that
5000 belonging to the estate of the late
Miss Brickwood, found in bank after
administration by the executors,
should go to Jennie d. X. Giffard, a
legatee under the will, now Mrs. A. A.
Wilder.
A brief had been filed in the matter
of the estate of the late Louisa Browns
J combe Brickwood, written by w. B.
I.ymer of Thompson G. Wilder, in
which it is submitted that 5000 found
ia bank after payment of legacies had
been made, should be paid to her
niece, Jennie d. K. Giffard, according
to a clause in the will bequeathing to
that lady various articles and all the
rest of her property not disposed of
in prior clauses excepting furniture
and household effects" Following this
bequest there are devises of real es-
tate to other devises, the will conclud-
ing with a general residuary clause de-
NlSluB anu DGQuSdIhAh6 ga NV AS'N
and residue to trustees upon certain
trusts.
All of her property of every descrip-
ton the testatrix left to trustees-in
clauses prior to that containing the be-
quest to her neiece-to pay it's income
10 her mother for life; on the death
of her mother all of her furniture and
household goods to a brother for his
life, and on his death to his daughter
absolutely. Then she bequeaths one
feather lei and one diamond ring to
Sarah l.. Lyman, and one diamond
ring to her nephew
Upon the death of the mother of
the testatrix, the trustees proceed to
make distribution, and, after all legac-
les are satisfied, the trustees find the
sum of six hundred dollars in bank.
1t is argued at great length in the
brief that the general residuary clause
at the end is a mere blanket provision
to prevent intestacy as to lapsed or
void legacies, and to carry after-ac
quired real or personal property;
therefore that the earlier bequest OF
all goods, chattels and effects should
pass to Jennie D. K. Giffard the six
hundred dollar balance remaining in
the bank.

OPPORTUNITIES
IN THE ARMY
BY J. A. BREcKoNs.

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, May 11-About
1875 young men, ambitious for a
military career, will have an oppor-
tunity of joining the army under the
new regulations just issued govern
second lieutenants. About ninety of
these appointments will be to army
posts and the balance to the coast
defenses. The new regulations
demanded by directions of the presi-
dent, now prescribe that vacancies in
the grade of second lieutenant shall
be filed by appointment in the fol-
lowing order:
First, by cadets graduated from
the United States Military Academy;
second, by enlisted men whose fit
ness is determined by competitive
examination, and third, by candidates
from civil life between the ages of
twenty-one and twenty-seven years.
Candidates from civil life will be
selected by competitive examination
from those designated by the War
Department. No candidate will be
designated who is married or who is
not a citizen of the United States.
These candidates will be classified in
the following order:
Honor graduates of institutions of
learning at which army officers are
detailed as professors of military sci
ence and tactics, and which have
been designated as distinguished in
stitutions;" other graduates of such
institutions; members of the organ
lied militia with not less than three
years service; other candidates.
Those whose general average in the
competitive mental examination is
eighty-fve per cent or more will be
graded separately and selected to
fill existing vacancies in the order
of their merit.
The remaining vacancies will then
be filled by selection in the order Of
merit from the whole list of candl-
dates, without reg I'd to classified
ton, whose general average in the
competitive examination is seventy
five per cent or more.

the Texas field, is drilling foreman.
Scott is operating this property on 4
plan somewhat different from that in

Scott has been drilling in the Cas-

it is thought by many who are famil-
lar with his work that on account O.,
the excellent results obtained his
methods will soon be adopted by
other wells in this territory.

His ELoQUENcE WAS USELESS
Colonel Morgan's Futile Attempt to
Persuade Cleveland to Grant Par.
don to Murderer.

Col. Franklin Pierce Morgan of
Washington and New York never
made but one great speech, and the
story of it is pathetic. His audience
vas Grover Cleveland, then president
of the United States, and his purpose
was to secure pardon for murderer
named O'Neil, in whom the colonel
had become interested. "I'll never for
get that day." said the colonel in tell.
ing about the incident. Il had told
Dan Lamont the day before that I
intended to ask Cleveland to pardon
O'Neil. who was creature of the
dark places at times. but a pretty
good fellow at that. Cleveland had
taken the precaution to send to the
department of justice and get the pa.
pers in the case. l got up early the
next morning, had a massage and was
feeling tip-top. l got in to see Cleve-
land and l spoke 20 minutes. Never
In my life, before or since, have I
been as eloquent as was pleading
for that fellow O'Neil. The end Of
every sentence I uttered brushed the
edges off a cloud. concluded my
argument, confident that l had swept
the president off his feet. Mr.. Nor
gam he said. is that all you have to
say on behalf of your friend?' Mind
you, he said friend Yes, Mr.. Presi-
dent said 1; I think that's ALL Mr..
Morgan he replied, never as long as
am in the White House shall that
consummate scoundrel-consummate
scoundrel, mark you-get out Of the
penitentiary.' whats the use of elo-
quence. anyhow" concluded the COL
onel.
