TWO BIG WILL CASES
Closing Scenes in tlio Famous
Davis Contest.
COL. INGERSOLL TALKING TO-DAY
Timothy Hopkins Preparing to Contest Hii
Foster-Mother's Will.
The Document to bo Offered for Probnti
Next Tuesday Able Lawyers from Snr
rrnncHco to Appear nt Snlcm, Mass.
A Fierce, Legnl Itnttle for an Kstnte o
Thirty Million Dollars l'romlsed.
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.

actual value of tho u-wts w' ich h.iv

principally In tho hends and shnrei ol
Southern railroad corporations though
Backer's renl estate, Olatonbury cottxm

included in this estimate.
As It wns announced at tho time ol
Backer's failure that his liabilities were
between three nnd four millions of do!
lars, nnd this was afterward confirmed
by the declarations of his assignee, tho
ntnrtltng discrepancy between assets and
liabilities which now appear to exist has
given the anxioUB creditors of the bank
rupt note-broker a prodigious shock.
Mr. Einstein, the assignee, says he can
give no further particular as to tho situ
ation until he hat completed the sched
ules. Tho assets of Backer which liava
come into his hands and whoso value he
(intimates at $330,000, have a nominal
value of nearly 1, 200,000.
He attribute the deficiency to tha
shrinkage In value of the railroad secu
rities, nnd upon the business of the Glas

for it, nnd to-day It Is worth only J48.000

Citizens of Nashville Assemble to Heai
the Debate.
TlieroH'as n Strong Motement to Abolish
the Convict Lease SystcmFenr that
ItiotlngMay be ltesnmed nt nrlcevllle.
QWorklngmen Anxiously Awaiting the
Senate's and Governor's Ai-tlon.
Nashville, Tenn., Sep. 4. Tho House
adopted a resolution ordering an Investi
gation of reports reflecting upon State
Labor Commissioner Ford nnd his assist
ant, Representative Allemnii, the pream
ble to the resolution reciting that, in n
measure, they wero reponslble for the
recent trouble, at tho Bricevillo mine; that
they abetted the miners by public;
speeches, nnd that they have been aglta
tors encourasing lawlessness.
There was an exciting tlmo when tho
House took up Mr. Johnson'B resolution,
Baying that in the opinion of the General
Assembly under the Constitution tho
Legislature has no power to abrogate tho
contract existing between tho State and
lesees of convict labor.
Mr. Davis favored tho abrogation of
the present contract and the abolition ol
tho leaso system. Tho State should pay
tho lessees a million dollars damages if
necessary, anil raise the revenue assess
ment to meet it. This wns the first at
tempt in the history of tho Unitod Stntes
nnd possibly In tho world to beat down
freo labor with convict labor, nnd it
should bo stopped as soon as possible.
Tho Johnson resolution was adopted by a
vote of (31 to 87.
Tho calling of tho roll wns watched
with great interest by tho members of
the House and citizen assembled to henr
tho debate. The resolution will bo sent
to the Senate this afternoon.
There is a geueral feeling hero that if
the Sennte pnss.es the Hout.0 resolution
that rioting will bo renewed at lirleevlllo,
unless tho Governor should step in with
a veto.
The miners' representatives hero dis
play great anxiety over tho result.

Jersey City, N. J., Sep. 4. A fow

man in Harrison, was reported to be r
victim of leprosy, nnd after a thorough
examination by tho medical inspectors
of tho county board of health he wns
pronounced a leper and taken to tho pest
houso at snake Hill.
Sam's brother then took charge of hi
business and effects, and, contending
that fanm was not alliicted with leprosy,
demanded his release
When this wa refused suit for ?20,000
damages was begun against tho health
board for keeping Sam locked up.
Sam's friends finally decided to havo
him examined by a Chineso doctor,
a man said to be tho greatest expert on

IS CHEAPER than any other dressing
at any price, be it 5 cents, 10 cents, or
25 cents, you can convince yourself by
wearing one shoe dressed with Acme
Blacking and the other shoe dressed
with whatever happens to be your
favorite dressing. While Acme Black
ing will tndure a month through inm
or ruin, nnd can, if the shoe is soiled,
be washed clean, the other dressing will
not last a single day in wet weather.
Your shoes will look better, last
longer and be more comfortable if
dressed with Wolff's Acme Blacking.
