Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs Will Contest Settlement of Husband's Estate, NEW YORK, Bept. 11.-The will of Hermann Oelrichs, the New York mil lionnire, who died at sea last week, has been filed In the surrogante's court. It cuts off his wife and youug son and leaves the entire estate to his brother, Charles M, Oelrichs, and his sister, Mrs. William Jay. The news caused a sensation in sock ety circles, although there had been rumors that the will would cut off the wife, who was the elder daoghter of the late Senator Falr of California. No one had dreamed, however, that Mr. QOelrichs would Ignore his son in the distribution of the estate, as It was supposed that he was satisfied with the arrangement whereby his wife was to take care of the Jad Mrs. Oelrichs will contest the will. This statement was made positively by friends who know her attitude. Mr. Oelrichs left an estate of at least $10,000,000, and It is thought she was done a great wrong when her hus- band cut her off without a cent. For years Mr. and Mrs Oelrichs have rarely been together. She was at Newport and lu this city while he was Irreconciiable differ- ences of tempernthent separated them, Hartje's Detectives Indicted.

Such a life has been a real blessing in the world, TOWNER FANILY REONIN Athens—The Towner reunion Saturday was at the grove on the “John Grif” Towner place. In early times this homestead was celebrated for the musical celebris ties that were entertained from time to time there, John Grif Towner was a singing teacher of prominence that made his period- ical visits all over the county and his singing schools contained all of the rudimentary advantages that the modern conservatory of music can boast of nowadays. One no- table gathering took place in Rome village about the year 1855 when Prof. Wm. B. Bradbury, of New York, conducted a convention that brought the best singers from the difierent parts of the county to- gether, This was the beginning of the musical career of the lamented gospel singer, P. P, Bliss, who was teaching school at the time in Rome and boarding at Papa Young's, where he afterward found his wile. At that time John Grif Towner stood at the head of the streets to take care of the surface water. The street commissioner was instructed to have the work to ut once. On motion of Nevins the Bor- ough secretary was authorized to advertise for bids on coal to be used in the borough buildings: Stuart to have the cobble stones and gravel removed from his lot on East Cherry street, and the street commissioner was instructed to see that it was done. .
