AN UNEXPECTED WILL DECISION. Two Toughs, How in the Columbus Peni tentiary, Wanted Here. COOEEI.THE DUDE.DEJIASDS A TEIAL The question as to whether certain law yers are in demand for supposed influence with Judges on the matter of granting retail liquor license, which has been discussed for two years, but more especially since "last May, is one on which lawyers generally re fuse to be quoted, some saying the proposi tion is nonsensical and could hare no weight except among the very ignorant, while oth ers say that all the same some lawyers do get business of this kind on the ground of supposed influence at court Judge Fetter man was the only one among a considerable number spoken to yesterday who did not put an embargo on the use of his name. He said that no lawyer of any standing worth speaking of could afford to allow such an im pression to gain strength, as eventually it would do him more harm than good. "An ex-saloon keeper, however, said he knew that some applicants hare hired in the past time lawyers solely on the ground that they -Here supposed to stand well with whatever judge might be presiding. WHAT LAWTEBS SAT. Said a lawyer: ''Last winter it was given ont that Judge Ewing would preside in the License Court, and immediately scores of liquor deal ers began to make inquiry to find men sup posed to stand well with him. Then the story changed, and it was stated that Judge Magee would preside. Then certain Democratic poli ticians (he named them.but under seal secrecy.) caused it to be understood tliat the genial Mr. Davis had been a termer partner with Judge Macetand would have much influence with hira." Said the lawyer further "If Judge Magee had presided Mr. Davis would have had as much License Court business as be could have bandied, and it would not have been his fault either, and had the licenses asked for by him been generally granted a majority of the appli cants would have credited tiieir success to the supposed influence So if Judge Ewing had been on the bench and one of the Bryants' cli ents had been successful, influence would in that case also have gotten the credit. Judge White presided, and gossip took another turn, and what followed is a matter of history." WHEBE THEY BLTOTJER. Notwithstanding all this, manylignor sellers give friendship between Jndges and certain lawyers the credit of success. Onelawyer states that he has advised all his clients to apply for wholesale license, as he positively believes that tbn only retail dealers who will get licenses this spring vi ill be those who can show that they have hotel accommodations. Dealers have given no hope of any advance ment of the time for the hearing of applica tions. Some ot them have been advised to be their own law) ers. but it seems to be more than probable that if an attorney can be got for a reasonable figure this manner of proceeding is the cheapest in the long run, for if a man makes" a mistake in the make-up of his bond or in some other way a lawyer can be reached by the Clerk of Courts and the mistake promply recti fied, but it might not be so, expeditious were the candidate situated in an out-of-the-way place. BDEPKISED THE LAWIEKS. A Will Signed far the Christian Name Al lotted br the Snpremo Court. One of the most interesting cases decided by the Supreme Court, and one much discussed in legal circles, is its affirmation of the ruling of the Orphans' Court of this conntv on the ap peal of James A. Knox. On October 27, IsSS, Harriet 8. Knox died in this city, and, after letters of administration were granted on her estate, a paper was offered for probate as her last will. On November it, ISSS, James A. Knox, her husband, filed a caveat against pro bating the alleged will, which was as follows: "A few little things I would like done. Mamma to have everything she wants, with a few ex ceptions of remembrances Please let my sis ter have my honse rent free as long as she lives, then my namesake to have it. The money in the Pittsburg Bank for Bessie. My diamond pin and largest stone ring and brace lets lor -Mamma, ine ;i,uu Auntie leit me give to Lee $500 and S500 1 sister. 4i4 RRIKT ' The paper was admitted to probate, and the husband took an appeal on the grounds that the paper did not claim to be the last will of de ceased, was not dated, signature of testator not witnessed, the paper not signed by tbe name of the'deceased. and was not executed accord ing to law. The Orphans' Court held that the writing probated was testamentary in form, and if properly executed and proven must be accept ed as the last will by the deceased. Tbe testi mony was that tbe whole letter and the signa ture "Harriet" was in the handwriUuc of the deceased, and the Court held that a married woman may dispose of her property by will in writing; sicned bv her or manifested by ber mark. If execution is shown, the full name need not be signed. The name "Harriet" may be regarded as the mark referred to in the act of Assembly, and, if so considered, the paper is properly executed. It would have been necessary to prove an ordi nary mark oy witnesses wbo saw it made, but it is not necessity that they should bave been subscribing witnesses. It was proven that the signature was in the handwriting of the de ceased, which was ample proof of the execution of tbe paper, and tbe admission to probate by the Register was proper. MUST HATB A HEARING. Coohey. tbe Dnde, U Tired of Looting in (be Cooler. Attorney William Reardon, yesterday, ob tained a writ of habeas corpus to produce in court Harry Cook, known as "Cookey, tbe Dude," wbo is in jail awaiting a hearing before Magistrate Gripp on a charee of attempted larceny. Cook was taken before Judge Stowe, and Assistant Superintendent O'Mara and In spector McAleese, tbe prosecutors, appeared. It was stated that Cook was arrested on De cember 16 without a warrant, and had never been given a hearing, and his discbarge was asked. O'Mara replied that Cook had been arrested in the act of .picking a woman's pocket, and that an information had subse quently been made against him. His bearing bad been delayed in order to catch one of his companions and to get the witnesses in the case. Judge Stowe remarked that tbey had no right to hold prisoners without giving tbem a bearing, and they conld no more bold them two weeks than tbeycoJld a month or a year. O'Mara replied that be would be given a hearing at once, and upon this Judge Stowe said that as the commitment was perfectly proper be would remand Cook to jail. Cook is the man who a year ago gave In spector McAleese anlte a rha, from th. thw floor of the City HaU to Smlthfleld street in at tempting to escape. He was given a hearing k6?"!",:?1.?18-"--8 GriPP yesterday afternoon, and held for court. WANTED IS HTTSBUEG. Requisition Papers for Suspects In tbe Ohio Penitentiary. A requisition was prepared by the Clerk of Courts yesterday, to be forwarded to the Gov ernor of Ohio, to secure the return of Frank Meyers and W. G Phillips. The men are want ed here bn several charges of felonious and aggravated assault and battery. They are be lieved to be the men who, last September, took possession of a freight train on the P. R. R, near Turtle Creek, and assaulted tbe trainmen. One of the brakemen. Foster Fox, was shot through tbe face and in tbe back and danger ously wounded. Another. Jesse Nichols, was beaten insensible with tbe butt ot a revolver. Tbe men remained on the train nntil it bad gone several miles, and tben jumped off. A vie orous search was made for them, out they suc ceeded in escaping. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company put officers on their track, but no trace of them was obtained until a short time ago. when it was learned that tbey were in the Columbus Penitentiary. They had been caught while committing a burglary in Ohio, and sen tenced to six years' imprisonmnent each. To pre vent their escape when their time has expired tbe requisition will be lodged against them, so tbey can at once be returned here for trial. To-Dny'a Trial Lists.

Pennsy Officers Pleased With the New WestfhguoBse Device. A large number of railroad officials and others interested, went to Altobna yesterday morning toVitness the test of theWesting honse friction buffer. It was a success in every respect Tbe new buffers were put on SO new Pennsyl vania freight cars. Two heavy "jack" eight wheel engines west attached to one end of the train. The first test consisted of reversing tbe two engines in unison under a full head ot steam while the train was speeding along at the rate of about 20 miles per hour. Instead ot a jarring, jolting motion, which w6uld be the case with tbe present buffers in use and some of them probably smashed, the train came to a sudden semi-easing stop and then reversed its motion without any jar whatever. Tbe seconu test consisted of making a num ber of violent couplings between the fifteenth and sixteenth cars. One-half the train was "banged" into tbe other half without any per ceptible jar to either section. With tbe pres ent couplers, wben engineers mistake tbe dis tance tbev bave to back, they push one section of the train against tbe other with such vio lent force that often the couplers and buffers are smashed. This is the cause of so many brakemen being caught and crushed between the platforms of cars while making a coup line The third test consisted in suddenly starting ont under a full head of steam after the 30 cars had been coupled to SO other cars, notequipped with the friction buffer draw-gear. There was not tbe slightest jolt to tbe first 30 cars, while tbe others pulled and Strained tbeir drawbars. All of tbe tests illustrated tbe increased re sistance offered by tbe friction buffers as com Eared with tbe old style draft springs, and also rought out very soft action of the buffers and tbe freedom from shocks throughout the train. One feature about the buffer Is that it is double-acting, and can be operated either by a push or a pull. It is introduced as a part of the draw-gear of cars, and has the effect ot enormously increasing its elastic resistance. Tbe bodies of tbe cars equipped with tbe buffer are thereby protected from destructive shocks. It can De used on any kind of coupler on old or new cars. It distributes both pulling and buffing strainsover the entire under frame of the car. It is a form of draft-gear with a buffing resistance said to be ten times greater man in me arait-gear as usually maae ana ap plied. The buffer consists of a number of thin sheets of iron overlapping one another like shingles on the roof of a house. The sheets are placed under the-car, and wben the coupler is pnshed in or pulled out the sheets work backward or forward as tbe case may be. Tbe sheets close in on one another and contract the resistance to a shock. A number 6f iron teeth form a sort of vise around the buffer and hold the sheets together. The Importntlob of Champogne Into the United States during the last ten .fears was 2,454,504 cases, comprising 26 dif ferent brands, of which over one-fourth was "G. H.

WOOL BE A DETECTIVE. A Weatsaerelania Coanty Young Man Wb YeWai for Glory. Assistant Superintendent Roger O'Mara yes terday received one of those missives which so delight his soul, from an amateur detective, whose sole ambition is to possess a pair of hand cuffs. O'Mara thinks they would be useful to his correspondent If properly applied, as they would, at least, prevent his writing. Fallowing is the interesting effusion, the chirography showing a considerable amount of ink and labor to have been expended, while the orthog raphy speaks for itself: WuiT.Njer, Januarys, 1S90.

He says th era is no conception of the number ot people wbo are victimized through tbis country by bogns detective agencies and supplied with a dark lantern, a revolver and a badge. Imagine them selves full-fledged sleuth hounds. As Chief of the Pinkerton Detective Agency Roger O'Mara is tbe recipient of these applications. A SENSIBLE C0MPLALNT. Powder Stored In a Blacksmith Shop (cares air. Welblr. P. B. Weible, a resident of Cbartiers' town ship, jnst beyond the Thirty-sixth ward line, called at Chief Brown's office yesterday after noon to complain about the storage of large quantities of powder in a blacksmith shop just inside tbe ward line and directly beneath his home, which is built on the top of a steep hill above tbe shop. He said the powder belonged to tbe Rand and Laflln Powder Company. They have a magazine back in the country about three miles, but the long bill on the Steuben ville pike leading to the magazine is objection able to the drivers of the powder company's wagons, and when, they bave a big load on tbey frequently unload at William Wright's black smith shop, located at tbe foot of tbe bill. Mr. Weible says there are at times several wagon loads of powder in this shop, right within reach of the sparks from the blacksmith's forge. There are houses all around the shop, and Mr. Weible says an explosion of tbe large quantity of powder would wreck many build ings as well as cause loss of life. Chief Brown was not In his office when Mr. Weible called, and the matter was referred to Police Inspector McKelvey, of the Southside district, who promised to attend to it at once. A Police Appolntmen'. John Connors, of the Eighth ward, will go on duty to-day as an operator In the Police Inspec tor's office. He take tbe place of John Mc Tigho, who goes on duty outside as a detective. Connors was formerly a cleric in the Connty and City Treasurers' offices.
