Judge advocate general of the army at the time, and the principal prosecuting officer against Mrs. Surratt, Payne, Herald, Altzerott and tho others tried before the famous military tribunal.

From tho time ot his retirement ho lived the lite of a recluse in his mansion near tho capital, In a part of Washington onco fashionable and still frequented by the old families of the district. When he died last year a search was made for a will, but. none was found and the heirs at law, his two nephews and a niece, applied to the district probate court for letters ot administration. They had received some thousand dollars of tho estate and had no suspicion of trouble, but ono day the registrar of wills received a curiously directed envelope addressed in a hand obviously disguised which contained what was seemingly a will drawn by Judge Holt and witnessed by General U. S.

Grant, General W. T. Sherman and Mrs. Sherman. The will was time frayed in appearance and mutilated by fire scars.

By it Judge Holt left all hl3 property to Miss Lizzie Hynes, a relative of his first wife, and Miss Josephine 'Holt Thraekmorton. a godchild and the A Fine Display in a Fulton Street Store Window. What to buy for a wedding present is at times the cause of a great deal of annoyance to intending purchasers. Of course there are some things that it would be very impropor to offer to prospective brides, such, for instanco, as in the line of household effects, whioh it is only natural to supposo would be provided by the interested parties themselves, but articles bf ornamentation or those things looked upon as luxuries are considered proper to give. In order to assist these people in mnking a selection, Mr.

Katz, tho window dresBer of Abraham A Straus, has arranged a fine display in one of the windows of the Fulton stroet store of artioles that would make very acceptable presents or suggests others A card reading "Suggestions for June Wedding Presents" is in the center of the window, at the top of which is attached a large white satin ribbon bow, with long stroamers extending in sorpentino fashion across the front. In the display are arranged'Louis XV cabinets, supplied with royal Worcester, crown derby, royal Dresden and Hungarian bric a brac; em Ere and Louis XT 5 clock tea tables, with imoges and Sevres tea and chocolate sets, bronze statuary ou onyx pedestals, blue Sovres China fish and game sets, Dresden clocks, lamps and candelabra, Limoges toilet sots, Japanese Ivory figures, besides silverware and cut glass pieces.

CLEVELAND. Mr. Milliken Tells What the Chief Magistrate Said About the Man From Maine Torpedo Boat Building A Famous Will Case. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. June 15 Sreaker Reed will go to New York this week, accompanied by his wife and daughter, and will remain there long enough to hear the result at St.

Louis before proceeding to his home in Maine. Manley's action has cut him deeply and he has shown considerable feeling while talking with friends about It. The other day Mr. Reed called to pay his respects to President Cleveland, preparatory to leaving Washington, and the two men shook hands with greater cordiality than ever before. Whatever may be Mr.

Reed's private opinion of the President there Is no doubt that he was greatly pleased over something Mr. Cleveland said about him to Congressman Milliken of Maine the day after adjournment, and duly reported to tho speaker. Mr. Milliken says that the President praised Reed highly and gave the opinion that the big man from Maine was the very best candidate the Republicans could nominate. Despite Reed's partisanship he has the friendliest feeling for many of his Democratic brethren, and an instance of this was given in the personal intimacy and good fellowship existing between the speaker and Buck Kllgore of Texas, now a federal judge In the Indian territory, who abused Reed unmercifully on the floor ot the house and praised him outside.

Nearly all of the American shipbuilders who contemplate bidding on the construction of the torpedo boats, authorized by congress at the session just ended, may be caught unawares in the preparation of plans. No torpedo craft of the speed required for three of the boats provided for by the naval appropriation bill have been constructed in this country and our builders are novices In the art of designing them. These three boats must have a speed of thirty knots an hour and it is a question whether the designers of American firms are familiar enough with the subject to be absolutely sure that their designs can be developed into vessels of the required swiftness. It is probable that the navy department will advertise for bids with in two weeks and as the naval bill makes it compulsory that contracts shall be awarded within 120 days from the approval of the measure, the firms that propose to bid will have their hands full preparing plans within the specified time and will be further hampered by lack of familiarity with the high rate craft demanded. It is rumored that one of the American shipbuilding companies, the Bath Iron works, Is already In correspondence with the Thornycraft company of England and it would be well for other establishments to take time by the fore look and secure copies of the designs that have been successfully developed by Yarrow, Normand and other noted foreign builders.

The debates in both house and senate have shown that congress Is strongly inclined to authorize the construction ot torpedo boats, rather than battleships and cruisers. Naval experts may hold different views, but it is the privilege only to recommend types, while'it Is th9 prerogative of congress to authorize the class of ships most desirable. The construction of torpedo boats rather than battleships is favored by the members for several reasons. The small craft can be finished in a fraction of the time required to commission the large warship. The work can be scattered, and the competition is likely to result In benefit to the country at large.

The expenditure ot public money by the navy department can be made in various sections of the country and it will be possible to make the navy familiar to a greater number of people. The inventive genius of the American mechanic can also be better utilized In the building of numerous torpedo boats rather than in the construction of a few battleships. It Is claimed that there is going to be an era of torpedo boat building and the ship construction plants of America are giving special consideration to the sub iect. The navy department proposes to per mit the several firms to submit their own de signs and the various shops. It Is said, can best take advantage of the opportunity by sending to England, France and Germany, where complete plans of the best types of vessels can be purchased at a comparatively small cost.

There is no doubt that our native talent could improve upon various details of continental designs. Friends of the torpedo boat principle con tend that our great length of sea coast and the defenseless condition of our shores make It Imperative that we should have 100 or 200 of these little vessels. American superiority in engine building makes the construction of such craft an easy matter to undertake, and there will probably be a spirited competition. The details of torpedo boat construction for vessels under thirty knots are so readily accessible and the difficulties so accurately known that even small firms can safely bid on these contracts without fear of suffering much pecuniary loss. Washington is making active preparations for entertaining the hosts of Christian En deavorers who' will be here in annual convention next month.

The fact that Chicago will be the most Interesting point in the country during the endeavorers' session for their convention and that of the Democratic party are synchronous has not discouraged the managers of the great religious organization In the least, and they claim that they have arranged matters so that they will get as much space in the newspapers as they want. The endeavorer3 depend in a large measure on the newspapers to help along their work, and they appreciate all that has been done for them by the press in the past. John Willis Baer of Boston, general secretary of the society, is in Washington looking over the ground and consulting with the local leaders, chief of whom is W. H. H.

Smith, chairman of the preliminary committee. It was to Mr. Smith that Washington owes the advantage of being chosen as the convention city this year, and he Is still laboring with might and main to make the affair all that he claims It will be. The whole town Is gradually being transformed into a big ejideavorer meeting house with the sky for a canopy. Down in the grounds between the White House and the Washington monument tho white lot, people here call it flower beds have been set out in Christian Endeavorer designs, and preparations are being made tor the erection of tents and platforms.

The public parks will also contain emblems of the society in growing plants. The programme for the convention has been practically arranged and It will Include many features unique to Wash ingtonians. A big parade from the white lot to the capltol building, somewhat after the manner of the Brooklyn Sunday school processions, will be one of the events and services will be held in the capitol grounds and at Mount Vernon. A large representation ot Brooklyn endeavorers is expected. Several Brooklyn ministers hae already been assigned parts in tho programme of exercises, and on the opening day, July 8, two of them will deliver addresses at Washington churches.

Twenty houses of worship will be open for services on that day, and in each the topic will be "Deepening the Spiritual Life." Among those who will take part are the Rev. L. A. Banks and the Rev. Cortland Myers of Brooklyn.

Mr. Myers will also also speak on "Saved to Serve" In one ot the three gigantic tents to be erected on the White lot. The same topic will also be discussed at the other two tents, and among the speakers is the Rev. Dr. Theodore L.

Cuyler of Brooklyn. Headquarters for the New York delegations will be at the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, corner of ConnecUcut avenue and street. This church is one of the most fashionable places of. woTsbAp in Washington, and was attended during their residence hero by President Harrison and tho late James G. Blaine.

Its magnificent white stone tower fell without warning some years ago, and visitors are always told the story ot the crash and how much excitement it created. Brooklyn Endeavorers who contemplate coming to Washington should mako their arrangements with H. A. Klnports, 1 S1 West Eighty fourth street. New York, who has been officially designated as excursion manager for New York state.

The trial of the Holt wilt case has held the Interest of Washington for several weeks. Its mysteries, its promised sensations, the prominence of the people concerned have been factors that have contributed to cause the keen enjoymnct with which every turn in the conteBt has been followed. Judge Joseph Holt, the man whose tb.ouss.nds are In dispute, was best known for the part he took In the trial ot the Lincoln conspirators. He was Men and Things Talked of in Two Great Cities Sensitive 'Misther' Eagan. Oliver Cotter Again Fair Play for a Veteran Sensational Ministers An ex Whisky King.

The row at the St. Louis convention between Piatt's chief officer, Edward Lauter bach, and Tom Eagan, will interest a great many Brooklyn racegoers who know the last named individual. Eagan is a New York Republican this year, and has managed to make himself solid with some of Thomas C. Piatt's wealthy opponents. It appears by the dispatches from St.

Louis that "Misther" Eagan reproached asd denounced Lautcrbach for being a Jew. This will sound strangely to those who are familiar with. Eagan's Milesian visage and his connection with the notorious Guttenberg winter raco tracks. They will he surprised at the sensitiveness of this proud person, in whose veins flows the blood of many Irish ancestors who were not kings. When "Misther" Eagan was in charge of the betting stands at Brighton Beach and Guttenberg, charging bookmakers an exorbitant rates for their supplies, some of his boon'com panions were Jews, not of the kind that have reflected honor on their race.

This man Eagan, by the way, was at one time a power in the bet tins; rings of the Coney Island, Morris Park and Brooklyn race tracks. Bookmakers had to buy their supplies from him. But he has been frozen out of these tracks; Mr. Belmont and turf magnates of his kind appear to have no use for Eagan. The New York press is sorely in need of a few sensational preachers who can supply copy for the Monday morning papers.

The Rev. Tom Dixon and other clergymen of his kind have found that sensationalism is not profitable In the big city of New York, and they have ceased to make copy. There are not as many churchgoers on Manhattan island as there should be, but those who do attend church Insist that the services shall not be in the nature of a variety entertainment. New York Is not at present an inviting field for ministerial mountebanks. Several inquiries have been made concerning the whereabouts and occupation of Oliver Cotter, widely known in Brooklyn several years ago, by reason of his persistent efforts to secure the punishment of liquor dealers do ing business on Sunday.

Mr. Cotter had many battles, verbal and physical, with, liquor dealers who fell Into his clutches. He finally came to the conclusion that he could not afford to waste his life in further efforts to convert Brooklyn to the cause of temperance. The rapid development of the Coney Island liquor traffic and a bad case of black, eye discour aged him. Mr.

Cotter contributes the follow ing by way of information for his old Brook lyn friends and the few enemies he made: 'At St. Bartholomew's parish house there is in operation a very successful employment bureau, which places persons in mercantile and professional positions in the cities of New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and Newark. The superintendent of the bureau is a man who has been a merchant and salesman in the past, and has had considerable dealing with business men. He is a good judge of human nature. The first and only object of the bureau Is to aid people to find employment.

The bureau Is under the care af the J. Fred erick Talcott, president, and Oliver Cotter, superintendent." Many Grand Army veterans in Brooklyn and New York want to know Just what their rights under the "veterans' act and the civil service law are. Deputy Attorney General Hasbrouck, often a professed friend' of old Union soldiers, has the power to grant a veteran removed from offlce permission to commence proceed ings in court which will result In a decision as to whether a veteran can be removed from office without cause. Citizens who are not veterans, and doubtless many who do not think veterans should be preferred above others, want a decision which will clear the atmosphere ot uncertainty and doubt. The civil service commissioners are also desirous of securing suoh a decision.

The spoil grabbing politicians in this county who recognize Tom Piatt as their leader, are in hopes that the deputy attorney general will not permit a Kings county veteran to institute proceedings which will lead to a Judicial decision as to whether he was legally or illegally removed. His successor was not taken from the civil service list. The veteran in question happenB to be a Democrat, and so it is hoped by the spoils hunters that fair play will be denied him by tho deputy attorney general. The Grand Army ot Kings county com posed of Democrats and Republicans has ask ed through its counsel that the removed veteran shall have a chance to test in court the legality of his removal. The Grand Army and friends of civil service reform as well will be greatly surprised if a request made purely in the interest of Justice is denied.

At a hearing before Deputy Attorney Gen oral Hasbrouck of the application of Mortimer C. Earl for permission to commence proceed ings tooust George E. England from the clerkship of the Ewen street police court, from which Earl alleges he was Illegally removed and England illegally appointed, a number of important features of the veteran and civil service laws were developed. Counselors Luke D. Stapleton and John Murphy appeared for the application, the former as Earl's personal representative and the latter on behalf of the Grand Army in Kings county.

The proceedings were not reported, and as they will interest Grand Army men in every section ot the state, the following facts are submitted: Mr. Stapleton alleged that that removal of Earl was a clear violation of Chapter 716 of the laws of 1894, as Earl was removed with out any charge being preferred against him and the duties of chief cterk were not Btrlctly confidential, his duties being defined by the charter. He was clerk OK the court and not of the justice, and gave bonds to the city for the faithful performance of his duties and was paid a salary by the city. Counselor Thomas H. Williams, on behalf of England, opposed the application on the ground that the charter conferred upon the justice the right to appoint a clerk who should hold offlce only during his pleasure; that there was no difference in the meaning ot "strictly confidential" and "confidential." He cited the decision of the court of appeals in the Wren case, which was similar to Earl's, and lu which the judgment was against Wren.

Among other decisions he quoted that of Fonda vs. Morton, In which the court decided against Fonda. Mr. Stapleton replied that holding a position at the pleasure of the justice made the term Indefinite which brought Earl's case wltfhiu the act of 1894; that there was a significant difference in the meaning of "confidential' and "strictly that in the Wren caso the) court of appeals decided that the pro ceedings by mandamus were wrong, and tha they should bare been by quo warranto, and tlhat in the Fonda case he was willing that Earl's case should stand or fall by the lan euage of that opinion. Fonda was a veteran soldier, but was removed on charges under bhe head of Incompetency and conduct incon sistent with the position held.

On January 7, 18B6, the court of appeals. In tine opinion written by Judge Andrews and concurred in by all the judges, declared that "The legislation as it. now stands not only gives a preference la publlo appointments and THE DAILY EAOLE it published every after noon on the working days of the week and on BtlNDAY MORNINGS.

There wereo.forty flvo.arrosts. for intoxica tion in the city yesterday. Of tho numbor stated seventeen of the persons arreBted were captured on HJoney istana, 163." That was precisely the ground Mr. Stapleton took In regard to the case of Mr. Earl.

If Earl had not been a veteran he would have conceded Justlco Lemon's right to remove him, but, being a vstoran, there was no authority to remove 'hhn except upon charges. Mr. Murphy, counsel for the Grand Arm? posts of Kings county, said the veterans were anxious to get the case into court, bo that they could obtain a legal decision. He said that the constitution Intended to protect vet erans In office as well as to give them preference in appointments and promotions, as it would be of very little service to veterans to be preferred if they could be removed at pleasure. Section 19 of article evidently intended that the only exception giving power to remove veterans was to be conferred on the courts of record and no other.

Under the constitution England's appointment was lllo as he was not appointed from a civil service list. He wanted to know why Earl did not have the best color of right to the offlce, Earl having been appointed October 10, 1892, before the new constitution was adopted, and England after the new consti tution was in force? The repealing clause of the act of 1894 modified the power of the Justice to remove a veteran. Deputy Attorney General Hasbrouck gave each side a week to send in their briefs. Twenty five or more years ago there was a nervy, stocky little man living down in the Fifth ward who was known as the King of Irishtown. He was a manufacturer of whisky and spirits, and had several disputes with the government which cost him a few hundred thousand dollars.

He was at the head and front of the whisky business in those days when United States internal revenue officers were kept busy hunting for Illicit stills, run by some of the men who subsequently became powers in the local Democratic organization. Some of these men are living and figuring in politics. Recently the gray haired ex klng was stricken with paralysis, but he Is out again, and beyond a slight thickness of speech is apparently in good condition. 'Of course, I'm through with working," he said to me. "My children have grown up and are doing well.

They are good to me, and I'm contented. I made enough to take care of myself." The old man could furnish the facts for a lively history of tho Fifth ward and the poteen men who defied not only the internal revenue officers, but United States marines, as well. in the early 70s. He tells a mighty interesting story. MUL.

COLORED BISHOP SPOKE. Novel Service at the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church. A novel service arranged by Dr. David Gregg was carried out at the Lafayette ave nue Presbyterian church last evening. The pulpit railings were entwined with ropes of daisies and smllax, and at each side stood a large American flag, while on a table in front of the pulpit was a large floral piece composed oi nowers or tne national colors, arranged to form a shield, and the table was strewn with pink carnations.

The choir sang among other negro melodies, "Steal Away," "Old Folks Home, Traveling to the Better Land. The sermon was preached by Bishop J. w. Hood ot North Carolina, who is the senior pre late of the A. M.

E. conference. He came down from Yonkers, where he is presiding over an annual conference which closes to day. The bishop Is a forceful speaker. He took his text from 'Matthew "And they that were ready went with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.

The bisnop spoke eloquently of the need of preparation for the judgment, saying there was no repentance in the grave. A threefold preparation was neces sary, first, a professional preparation; secondly, an experimental preparation, and thirdly, a practical preparation. The whole sermon was an appeal for all men to make a public profession of Jesus Christ, and then to serve Him. If ready for the Judgment there need be no fear of it. A GOOD ROADS SUGGESTION.

Smooth Tracks for Wagons on the City Streets. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: While the question of good roads Is belne so generally discussed and exciting so much interest would not the following suggestion be of va lv That smooth tracks be made for wagons on all block paved streets, on busy streets an up anl down track, on other streets a slng le track. These strips ot tracks could be made of i lti (lei hrlrk or asphalt and laid toward the center of th. street If thoueht advisable. There would, I think, great paving of noise, wear on wagons and In addl tlo i a blessing to bicyclists all over the city.

Sm. there are In the city some two hundred anu slxty mlle.i of cobble Daved streets, to replace witli Improved pavement will take years of thtty. too, might be Improved In this way. Asphalt strips are to be laid In New York solely Coi bicyclists, next to the curb, where I think the way will trf generally blocked by wagons standing at this part of the street to receive or deliver goods, thus greatly nullifying Its purpose. The value cf tracks fc: wagons could be judged by tho number ho would U6e them.

The cost would be comparatively trifling and so the tracks could be rapidly extended. J. a. L. Brocklj Juno 11.

1808. THE CRAYON PORTRAIT GAME. To the Editor ot the Brooklyn Eagle: For some months past Brooklyn has been subjected to the old "frame swindle" again. You are first waited upon by parties asking the privilege of presenting a crayon or pastel enlargement of any photograph you may let them have. It is simply "to advertise their studio In New York and no expense to you." The expense part becomes apparent later, when other parties appear with the proof and samples of frames, which you are expected to order at this stage, before seeing the work finished.

It is needless to say the frame Is not a gift. If you now realize the game you find It a hard struggle to get your small picture back. The party you meet at the office knows nothing about it, "the men are all out" and they try In thts way to force you on to the end. Will you find place in your paper to publish this and try to stop this miserable business? Brooklyn. June 23, 1896.

Sousa had a wet, cold and cheerless day yesterday for the home coming of his band at Manhattan, and not many people ventured out through the rain and wind to the beach. A few stragglers wandered aimlessly up and down the big piazza or strolled over to see how often the waves swept across the board walk, but the beach was chiefly given over to waiters and policemen. Inside the amphitheater, however, the atmosphere warmed up as soon as the band began to play, and the audiences were enthusiastic if small. The leader and the band showed as much care as If the hall had been packed, and responded as freely to encores of the small audiences as they would have done for 2,000 people. The afternoon programme was made up from a musical standpoint, and that for the evening trc a popular point of view, and each was good ot its kind.

In the afternoon American composers were well represented and finely interpreted, two numbers from a suite by McDowell, "In a Haunted Forest," and one from Nevin's "Water Scenes" being most daintily played. There was also a stirring march from Sousa's "El Capltan," which was new, and a chorus from the same opera, played in response to an encore. They went far to explain the great run that opera is having in New York. Other numbers were Masse not's "Neapolitan Scenes" and the wedding music from "Lohengrin." In the evening there were the "Triumphal Overture" by Rubinstein, dainty little new things by Buca lossl, Christern and Kunkel, and the stirring "El Capltan" march beside several of Sousa's more familiar marches as encores. The programme concluded with "Only One 'Girl' Trip Around the World" by Puerner, in wh'ich the popular song was mixed up with, halt a dozen national airs, and which proved that if Mr.

Sousa wishes to play that kind of popular pieces he should by all means arrange them himself. No one understands brass band effects so well as he. A notable feature of the concerts was the first appearence here of Miss Minnie Tracy, a young American soprano, who, after being taught, by Lucca and singing in opera in Ca.iro and western Europe, came home last fall as a member of the ill stared Italian opera company which failed in Philadelphia. Miss Tracey Is a large and strikingly handsome girl who has a large voice and apparently the temperament of which artists are made, though the numbers she sang yesterday gave only scant opportunity to judge of that polnt Her voice has not yet reached its full development, but it is of good quality, and some' of the upper tones are particularly fine. She was especially successful with a waltz of Mr.

Sousa's In the evening and has promise of a brilliant career. Miss Martina Johnstone, whose violin playing is well known and liked here, gave a romance by Svendsen, and as an encore "First Confessions" by Thome. Mr. Sousa will probably repeat last night's programme next Sunday night, when he will no dobut have a much larger audience. UNION SUMMER SERVICES.

J. SPOKE TO THEOSOPHISTS. Miss E. M. Daniell spoke before some theosophists and their friends last night at the regular Sunday evening meeting of the Brooklyn Theosophical society at 464 Classon avenue.

Miss Daniell spoke oa "Trust," Blood daughter of Major Throckmorton of the army. The alleged will named one Luke Devlin as executor, and he applied to the court for letters of administration. Devlin had been an enlisted man in the army, and as such was messenger to Judge Holt for part ot the time the latter was Judge advocate general. Later he was appointed to a clerical position In the Judge advocate general's offlce. The alleged will was dated In 1873, and In the contest against its admission to probate being made by the heirs at law, evidence has been Introduced to show that a paper was found in Judge Holt's house after his death bearing the words: "Date of will, January 1, 1S86." This paper, it is claimed, was destroyed by some person who stole It from one of Judge Holt's relatives.

The claim of tho heirs at law is that the alleged will was a forgery The other side contend that the will in evidence was found in Judge Holt's house by one of his servants and mailed to the register. So far the mystery of its appearance at the register's offlce has not been cleared up. Testimony of the strongest kind has been given to show that Judge Holt had a quarrel with the Thockmortons after the date of the alleged will and that he did not trust Major Thockmorton, who Is named as trustee for the money devised to his daughter. In 1873 Miss Thockmorton was 7 years old. The contention is made by the heirs at law that Judge Holt had no confidence In Major Thockmorton and would not have given funds in trust to him.

How soon Judge Holt arrived at this belief has not been clearly shown, but the heirs at law have made a point of the fact that in 1891 Major Thockmorton, while commandant of Fort Schuyler. New York harbor, was charged with duplication of pay accounts, tried by court martial and sentenced to be dismissed. The sentence was reduced to a long period of suspension and subsequently Major Thockmorton was returned to duty to allow him to go on the retired list. One of the most interesting features of the case is the attempt made to prove that the will was sent to the register by Judge Holt's coachman, through the method which forms the basis for Mark Twain's novel and drama of "Pudd'nhead Wilson." Pudd'nhead. it will be recalled, was wont to obtain thumb marks of everybody he knew and by the opportune production of one of his impressions cleared two innocent men and convicted a murderer.

Two detectives hired tho stable attached to the houEe of Judge Holt. They pretended to be working on a patent bottlo stopper and frequently called on the coachman who became the caretaker of the Holt residence after the Judge's death to assist them In handling the score or more of very dirt' bottles, which formed their principal stock in trade. By this means. they se cured the imprints of the thumbs and fingers of the coachman on the oass for the pur pose of comparing them with the finger marks left on the envelope containing the alleged will by the person who had sealed it. So far, however, they have not established the Identity of the two and the coachman, who testified for the heirs at law, strenuously In sist that he did not send the mvsterious docu ment.

All the distinguished witnesses to fe testament are dead. Luke Devlin claims that his intimacy with Judge Holt was such that he could naturally have been selected as executor; the helrs at iaw contend that Judge Holt would never have intrusted so confidential and delicate a trust to a man whom he had looked on as a common soldier. Testimony has been given that Judge Holt was very fond of his nephew, Washington Holt, one of the heirs at law. and had hinted that he would leave his entire fortune to him. Testimony Just as positive has been given that he was sincerely attached to Miss Hynes and had promised his first wife to see that she did not want.

Famous experts in handwriting have said that the will was not written by Judge Holt, but to the lay eye the penmanship closely resembles his. And there the case stands with three questions constantly confronting the Jurors: Is the will a forgery? Who sent it to the register? Did juage rioit make a will or later date? THE BAY BY MOONLIGHT. Annual Sailjof the Friends of the Memo rial Hospital for Women and Children. On the evening of Wednesday, June 17, the managers of the Memorial hospital for women and children will welcome their many friends on board the steamer Grand Republic, at the bridge dock, foot of Fulton street, at 8 o'clock, preliminary to a sail down New York bay. through the Narrows, visiting Fort Wadsworth and the North Atlantic squadron of the United States navy anchored off Staten Island.
