Col. E. A. L. Roberts's Will.
The Titusville Petroleum World of last
Wednesday says: "Of course it is un
derstood in this city that owing to a cer
tain circumstance which need not now be
eidarged upon a separation took place be-
tween Col. E. A. L. Roberts and his wife
and that proceedings in divorce had be
gun in the courts of this eonnty by the
lalterfora legal separation and main
tenance for herself and her children—two
daughters aged 8 and 10 yeans respective
ly. The Will now produced by Mr. Win
ship was dated October 17, 1877, a few
months after the separation referred to,
and reflects the feelings entertained at
that time towards his family. We have
not been allowed to see a copy of the
will, but we are informed l>y a gentleman
who has read it, that he bequeaths all his
real estate to his nephews and nieces,and
except a few trifling bequests, all the rest
of his properly to his nephew, Owen M.
Roberts, of Bradford.
During the past few months his broth
er, Dr. VY. B. Roberts, and his legaL" ad
viser, Mr. Wiuship, both labored with
him to modify his will so as to provide
for his children. In his correspondence
with Mr Winship a few days before his
death, he instructed that gehtlemau to
prepare a codicil in accordance with these
views, but he did not live to execute it.
For these reasons the parties interested
have come together, and in a praisewor
thy spirit, have mutually agreed that the
will shall be modified so far as the be
quest to Mr. Owen M. Roberts is con
cerned, and that instead of a contest in
the courts to break the will, in the inter
est of justice to the little daughters of
the deceased, Mr. Owen Roberts, con
sented to share the estate equally with
these children, share and share alike.
This conclusion, it is believed, is satis
factory to all the parties interested, and
the necessary papers will he tiled in the
Orphan's Court, at Meadville, to carry
out tiie terms of this agreement.
In this arrangement, and in all of the
negotiations which have led to it, Mr.
Owen Roberts has been represented by
Jas. Winship Esq., of Buffalo, and the
daughters of Col. Roberts, by their Guar
dian, Hon. Hugh Young, of Wellsboro,
Pa., who have been in this city for some
days past. It is understood that the
widow of the deceased elects to retain
her dower interests under the laws of
this Commonwealth ; and that Mr. Owen
Roberts will administer the estate as ex
ecutor, under the advice and supervision
Of Mr. Winship.
Col. Roberts was reputed to be one of
the wealthiest men in the State. He had
for some years before his,death derived a
large revenue from the royalty ou his
patents of torpedoes used in oil wells.
The Philadelphia Evening News pub
lishes two very important letters from
London, addressed to Colonel John W.
Forney, giving him what may turn out to
be a most important clue to the where
abouts of Charlie Itoss. The writers are
gentlemen of recognized social standing,
and write to the following effect: A
boy was at school near London with a
woman who always kept veiled and called
her boy George. The boy himself said
his name was ''Charlie Itoss," and that
he was brought from America in a big
Ship and told the woman, in the presence
Of other children, "Go away, you are not
my mamma. Mamma is a lady who is in
America." The clue will be followed up
St once.
