INTERNATIONAL
WILL FIGHT ENDS
vice-chanceIIor Finds for De-
PENDANTS in Litigation Over
Estate of Peter Borhan.

BY filing an opinion in an interna-
tional litigation over "a missing will,
in which he found for the defendants
Vice Chancellor Howell has decided a
case that caused no little attention
from legal standpoint when it was
brought up for argument.
The litigation was known as the
Borhan will case, and was suit
brought by eight nephews and nieces
to establish a claim to realty in
Union Hin, Hafdson country, after
the death of Peter Borhan in that
town
Five Of the nieces and nephews
lived in Germany. They were Emmy
Borstelman. of Hamburg Alma,
Anna and Carl Pruss. of Haresfeld,
and George c. Pruss, of Buxtehude.
Three others. all under age, lived in
Hoboken. Mary. Henry and Fred
erick Brohan. The defendants TO the
suit were Amelia Brohan and other
children of Henrietta c. Brohan. of
Union Hill. widow of Peter Brohan.
The complainants tried to establish
a deed by which the property was
said to have been conveyed to Bro
han by Frederick Gulden. The deed
was lost Brohan and his wife con-
veyed the property to Guldner in
1885. and it is supposed that another
deed was made by which Guidner
conveyed the property back to Bro
han alone. On Brohan's death his
widow, on the assumption that the
second deed had been made, began
negotiations TO buy out the inter
est of her husbands heirs in Ger
many
Meanwhile. GuIden died and his
heirs conveyed their interest to Mrs.
Brohan. whereupon the heirs in Ger
many started suit to establish the lost
deed. One witness said she saw the
deed; that she had come across it In
an old drunk 1t was made out from
a Minnie Gulden to Peter Brohan, she
said.
In drawing his opinion Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell gave this no credence.
Quoting from another decision he
saws: When written contract is to
be proved. not by itself. but by parol
testimony. no vague, uncertain recol-
lections concerning its stipulations
ought to supply the place of the writ
ten instrument itself The substance
of the agreement ought to be proven
satisfactorily. and If that cannot be
done the party is in the condition of
every other suitor In court who makes
a claim that he cannot support. When
parties reduce their contract to writ
ing the obligations and rights of
which are described and limited by
the instrument itself the safety
which is expected from them will be
much impaired il they could be dis
established upev uncertain and vague
impressions made by conversation an
tecedent to the reduction of the agree
ment''

of the Presbyterian Church stated that
at the next meeting of the New Or
loans Presbyetry, which will be held
in April, a petition will be presented,
signed by at least thirty persons in

of a church in Algiers. This will
doubtless be followed by the appoint
ment of a commission which will for
mally organize the congregation.
DIR. Browne said he hoped the or
ganization composed of Presbyterian
laymen will see its way clear to hell
in financing this work, as it has done
for Lakeview and GENTLY Terrace
There is little doubt that it will b.
done.
Dr. Browne said there should have
been a Presbyterian church here lon'
ago, and he proposes to push the move
ment to success. He said the supper
he is receiving from the people is yer,
encouraging.
There will be services Sunday after
