L. November 28 Three sisters, embroiled in a suit at law, one accusing the other two of conspiracy and collusion to defraud. her out. of a share in their dead mother's estate, was the scene presented in special term of the Supreme Court here to day, Justice Wllmot. M.

Smith presiding The plaintiff in the case is Mrs. Florence A. McComas, wife of Edward E. McComas, a prominent resident of Washington, D. C.

The other two sisters, and defendants, are Miss Mary Audoun and Mrs. Elizabeth A. Long, wife of the Rev. John D. Long of Babylon.

For some time prior to her death, September 24. 1901, Mrs. Emily A. Audoun, mother of the three sisters, lived, with her unmarried daughter, at the home of Mrs. Long at Babylon, and during this period she allowed these two daughters to manage her business.

This management consisted of the collection of income from certain investments, from which were made purchases of stocks and bonds, while other funds were invested in mortgages. Miss Audoun, it is charged, was the principal agent of her mother in the management of her affairs. For the facilitation of this management Mi's. Audoun had signed a number of blank checks, leaving it for her daughter to fill in the amount, by which means she was to pay the current expenses and other demands in connection with her njother's business. After Mrs.

Audoun died her 'will was found and duly proved before Surrogate Petty at Riverhead on October 1, 1901. By the terms of the will, after the payment ot debts and a small bequest, the testatrix gave to her three daughters as executrices, the remainder of the estate, personal and mixed, which was supposed to be quite valuable. The terms of the will also specified that as long as Miss Audoun remained unmarried she was to receive the income and interest from the estate, and in case of her marriage then the estate was to be divided into three equal parts among the three daughters, and in case of ihe death of Miss Audoun the estate should be divided equally between the other two daughters. Mrs. McComas alleges In her complaint that on October 1.

1001. after her two had procured the Rev. J. D. Long; who had, she alleges, unlawfully assumed to remove certain papers belonging to her mother from her private safe, to make an inventpry of the papers, at the office of Miss Audoun's conusel, Eugene Fishel of Babylon, they swore that except for some real estate in Baltimore and a small account with the Union Trust Company of New York, there was nothing more belonging to the estate.

Further, the two sisters testified at the hearing at Lawyer Fishers office that during the latter part of her life their mother had so reduced her financial condition by giving away her property to her unmarried daughter that she was dependent wholly on Miss Audoun and Mrs. Long for her support. Mrs. McComas claims that the statements made by her two sisters as to her mother's financial condition are untrue, and that the two sisters conspired to avoid the carrying into effect of the terras of their mother's will. Mrs.

McComas. in saipport of her claim: of. fraud and' collusion, alleges that, her jmmar ried sister "fraudulently and in abuse of the trust and in collusion with Mrs. Song" caused certain securities belonging to her mother to be sold and the proceeds transferred to her own personal account in the Corn Exchange Bank and the Second National Bank, and also took certain mortgages in her own name which should have been made payable to her mother. Mrs.

McComas claims her sister has refused an Inspection of those mortgages on the ground that they were procured by her own money, and she. Mrs. McComas. is therefore unable to state how much is involved in those mortgages. Mrs.

McComas further alleges that, although her unmarried sister never had any money of her own. only what her mother allowed her from time to time, she deposited in her own name in June, 1901, in the Corn Exchange Bank, $75,000, and in May, 1901, placed to her own credit in the Second National Bank. Mrs. McComas says, that for six months prior to her mother's death she was suffering from an incurable malady, and that as far back as June 14, 1901, aud before the above deposits were made by her sister, Mrs. Andoun could scarceiy speak and her death was daily expected.

These facts, Mrs. McComas alleges, were concealed from her, as were all the affairs of her mother, the two sisters assuming to handle the business of their mother without a word to her. Mrs. McComas avers that in May of 1901 they did not Inform her ot her mother's then serious illness, and that this lack of knowledge was aggravated in view of the distance she lived from her mother. Mrs.

McComas claims that the $75,000 and $45,000 deposits made by her sister, Miss Andoun, and the mortgages taken out in her name are rightfully a part of the estate and asks the court to so declare them. Mrs. McComas also asks for an injunction restraining her sister from using the money or mortgages, claiming that Miss Andoun is practically without means and unless the e.burt assumes direction of the property involved it will be dissipated. C. Walter Artz and County Judge Walter H.

Jayeox appeared for the plaintiff and Eugene Fishel and T. M. Grifflng are counsel for the defendants. One of the plaintiff's witnesses lives in Honolulu. Hawaii, and a commission is to be appointed to take his testimony.

The case was adjourned this afternoon for another hearing. All the parties concerned are prominently known on Long Island. EAGLE ASKED TO INVESTIGATE Mulshauser, William Bourne and Maurice Mack.

Greater New York from its northern to its southern end. Tt can be said almost that vhai lines of transportation within the borders of Greater New York are not possessed by the Union (Huckleberry) road in ihe Bronx, the in Manhattan and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit in. Brooklyn now are owned by the interborough Rapid Transit. It would not be exactly true, but the roads nor embraced in the systems earned are so few as to hardly count. There has been a belief existent from the earliest period in the organization of the New Ycrk and Portchester line that the ultimate purpose was to push the Poehes ter line into Connecticut and into the East, even a 3 far as Boston.

On that theory the. New York and New Haven Roard urgently contested the granting of the franchise rights. Whether this be so or not. the fact remains that in the extension of the Portchester line a "was opened. to elective' car service which was.

theretofore either unserved or served by the'Harlem and New Haven steam roads. This line will have a clow connection with the subway system on the north. Tb" Queens County road will be brought into the relation with the subway system by the funnel, the Manhattan terminus of which is at Forty second street, which system will disiribute "the passengers from Long Island. Probably Wanted to Prevent Competition. It Is not believed that the Manhattan will be operate in clo connection with the subway, but that its possession was desired by the Interborough because of its relations with the travel from Brooklyn through the tunnel now in process of construction under the East River, where ii might have become an antagonistic competitor of the subway.

What is assured in the possession of the Interborough is that the whole elevated system will he operated in harmony with not in antagonism to the Though there is no intimation that the end is soughi. view nfthe eioe connection between the Manhattan on ti3 east with the New York and Putnam Road nt One Hundred and Fifty fifth street, now 'existing, it would noi be surprising if efforts were made by the Interborough 10 secure' the latter line. Tt would Ihen have on the servi.ee and coonectiQn. to that which it possesses on the west in the New York and Portchester. This road, however, is a Vanderbilt possession and that Interest rarely sells what it has acquired.

SENECA INDIANS SUE. Their Existence as a Nation Involved in land Claim. Rochester. November 28 The Vreeland bill now pending in Congress divides the Allegany and Cattaraugus reservations in Western New York in severalty, with the purpose of making the Indians citizens. It also compels the Indians to pay $200,000 for the extinguishment of the claim of the Ogden Land Company, so called.

The Indians insist that the OgcUn Company owns only the pre emptive right, the right to buy when the Indians get ready to sell; but Cbas. E. Appleby of New York, the sole surviving trustee of the Ogden interest, and Representative Vreeland insist that the Ogden Company owns the land and the Indians own nothing more than the right of occupancy. In order to determine this question the Seneca nation of IndVians has' brought suit against Appleby and all claiming under him, and, pending the judicial settlement of the questions at issue. Congress will be asked to postpone consideration of the bill.

The matter is of the highest importance to the New York Indians. Their very existence as a nation is involved as well as two hundred thousand dollars In money. THANKSGIVING AT RIVERHEAD. Rlvcrkead, L. November 28 Thanksgiving was.

The two rear barges suddenly broke loose from the tow and were left to the mercy of the storm. It was probably regarded as unsafe for the tug to attempt to pick up the hawsers of the two barges, and so the tug proceeded westward, having ajl that she could do to weather the storm, but the single barge in tow, when last seen. The two abandoned barges were making slow progress westward under the little emergency sail they could set.
