that contest of the John Jacob AS
tor will is being contemplated, ard

Mrs. Astor has always expressed
entire satisfaction with the provis-
ions made for her by her late hus-
band. She has not now, nor has she
ever had any desire or intention tc
dispute the validity of the ante-nup-

NARROW
ESCAPE
Allan Line Steamer Strikes
Iceberg Able to

LIVERPOOL, Eng, Aug. 21.-The
Allan line steamer Corsican, which
struck an iceberg east Of Belle Isle,
near New Foundland on the after
noon of August 12, while on her voy-
age from Montreal for this port, ar
rived here this morning. Captain
Cook, commander of Corsican, said
the weather was hazy when n gi-
gantic iceberg was sighted right
ahead, the engines were Immediately
put astern but the Corsican touched
before she could be stopped. She
suffered no damage below the ten
foot water line"
The crew was at once calla |, the
stations and boats were swung out
bnt were soon taken back again All
the water. tight doors were = once
eloaed. The weather continued fog
gy for four days. But the ship was
abe to proceed at moderate speed,
her bows protecting the oulkheads
in the collision"
Most Of the passengers of the Cor
sican say no panic on board a. tn.
time of the collision.
Two Cambridge students named
Bethel and Stevens, however, say
they were almost thrown out ot their
hunks by the violence of the i'm
pact. They also assert that many of
the passengers were panic stricken.
That one woman called on everybody
to krcel and pray. The students as
scrt that hundred of tons of ice fell
or the ships deck and thai there
was 10 feet of water in the mold last
Sunday.

Furthermore, it is well to note,
that heretofore there has been ap-
propriated by the commissioners the
sum of $4,000 for the care and sup
uort of the poor. However, in max
ing the annual appropriation last
year the board decided on advice OF
the superintendent of the poor, after
running the poor farm for three
months, that $4,000 would be ample.
So the sum of $1,000 was appropriat-
ed instead of $4,000, and, unless
something unforeseen happens there
will be a balance left of the $4,000
on December 81.
As to the correctness of the above
figures any one can avail himself
of the information at the county
clerks office.
