Dutte, Mont., Sep. 4. Tho closing scenes in the famous Davis will case ar now being enacted. AH the testimony is in and argtimenti have begun. Judge Dixon, for tho pro ponents, was the first to address th court. He was followed by Attornej Morris for the defendants. After Col Sanders had finished his argument, Col Ingersoll, this afternoon, commenced hii long address for tho contestants. THE GREAT WILL FIGHT. Timothy Hopkins ami Ills San Franclso Counsel Now in Now YorU. New York, Sep. 4. Timothy Hopkins, the gardner's son who was adopted by the widow of Mark Hopkins, tho Cali fornia millionaire, and disinherited by hei In favor of her second husband, Edward i I . Senrles, is at the Hotel IJruuswick, to gether with two of his counsel from San Francisco. Their mission to New York is In con nection with the proposed contest of the will of Hopkins' foster-mother. Mr. Hopkins was seen by n, reporter, hut declined to say anything about his suit to break the will. He, however, ad mitted that such action would bo begun, and that the first move would be made when the will was offered for probate at Salem, Mass., next Tuesday. Hopkins is 41 years old, toll, square shouldered and handsomo. Ho 1ms a kindly, hazel eyo and a deep, melodious voice. Certainly, tho son of Pat Nolan who emigrated to California from the obscure, Maine village of Hallowell and became Mark Hopkins' garduer, has profltod by the good fortune that befell him in tso Golden State, for ho is polished and ap parently a man of refinement. He wns born March 2, 1850. He went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins in 1802, his father having died and his mother married again. Mark Hopkins died, leaving $20,000,000 to his widow, and July 9, 1870, sho for mally adopted young Nolan in San Fran cisco. Then sho met Edward F. Searles, a decorative artist of much taste, but poor, who was in search of health in Cali fornia, and on Nov. 8, 1887, thoy were married at Trinity Chapel, this city, by itev. ur. i'latt. Tim Hopkins is said to havo spoken very harshly of this step of his benefact ress, and to have thus aroused the wrath of the woman who had given him $100, 000 at one time and a, magnificent man sion in California at another, and when she died at Mcthuon, Mass., on July 30 she left a will in which he was ignored. There are are about 100 other relatives of Mark Hopkins and the lato Mrs. Searles who will combine in support of the contest. Among them are Nathaniel T. Hebbard, a cousin of Mrs. Hopkins-Searlos, who says of the unbalanced mind of Mrs. Searles and as showing how, completely she was dominated by E. T. Searles, that Bhe always loved William Hcybard, an other cousin who lived in Brooklyn, and that she once told him to select a nice apartment house that would bring him enough in rents to keep him and she would buy it for him. Ha did so, and when he went to her houso to toll her she flew into a wild passion and denied ever having said any such thing to him, after which William was ordered away from tho house by Searles. William Hebbard, it is said, died of a broken heart in consecpience. One of Mr. Hopkins' lawyers said this morning, when seen at the hotel, that a strong effort would be msdo to break tho will, and that tho case would bo fought to the end. More of Russia's Cruelty. Berlin, Sep. 4. The Jews now being driven from their homes in Moscow and compelled to sign a paper to the effect that they are quitting the town of their own freo will. This is dono in order that tho Russian authorities may bo armed with an answer to the charges of brutal ity which, It appears, have made an Im pression even in Russia. The prevalent destitution owing to the bad harvest has made the lot of the Russian Jews more wretched than before. The. starving peasantry are seeking to wreak veugonce on the Jews lor their own misery. Prohibitionist Nominations. AldaNY, Sep. 4.
