II ilk From tho first tho engineers gave notice that Km all they wantod was the right to bear titles. Ilm Till board talked over this from beginning to IKCyal end. Under tho schema a it passed thb board llr.lfl,, the Engineer Corps is to bo abolished in namo llrH "nd tno officers of tho corps transferred to tho ;IH line, with actual rank. All officers formerly Wjpi of tho Engineer Corps abovo a certain erndo fPH not yet dotoxmlned are to perform the duties pBIH of engineers until retirement. They will not he pnjiB required to perform sorrlco on board ship out- pKJM sluo of that at present performed by the tn?l- RNH Beers. All former engineers below tho grade "rvS b0 determined will have tho opportunity of I , '" studying tho duties now performed exclusively a . ' by lino otllcers, so that they may bo f.tted to j command a shio and tho like. They will also j ; do engineering work. i At the end of ten years It Is expected that .' cneineor ofUccra taking tho line course will be I fully equipped for the duties of the prado they will havo attained by that time. Lino otllcers 5 . above tho grado to bo determined on will not bo P '- roqulred to perform any engineering duty, but f ; lino officers below that grade must study cflpi- j , peering bo as to fit them for performing the ser- f t, vice now excluslvsly rendered by oOIeers of the .-. r, corps of engineers. This means that every ', '.; oftlcer on shipboard should be ablo to take his t i' place on the bridge or In the engine room with j .. equal safety to the vessel. Alcanwhilo It is j proposed that the machinists of the navy, who ' nro enlisted men, shall havo moro to do with running the engines. This will lighten the ' duties of tho otllcers who may be serving abovo itn(f3 decks one dar and below them another. " t jm All tho details of the plan have not been com- j.Vv'iaKi pletod, but tho rest Is a mere nothing compared l&dHIk what was accomplished to-day.

The last will was made on April 31, 1807. It divided most of tho ostato among two children by a former marriage, Oeorga and Delia Rich ardson, and tho widow, Emma J. Richardson, but made a bonucst ot $50,000 to tho Rav. Henry M. Warren of tho Central Park Baptist Church and 817,500 to the church. Tho will was drafted by Mrs. Louise II. Leonard, who, with her husband, Dr. Alfred D. Leonard, wns a witness to it, and who had beon sent by tbnltev. Mr. Wnrren to tho "splto house" of Itlchnrdson to witness tho will. Itlchard son died In Juno following. When Mrs. Leonard had been examined by Do Lnncoy Nlcoll for tho widow and by Wheelor It. Pockhara for tho contesting children. Lawyer William 11, Spooncr, who had bocn present up to that point in an undefined poUtlon, wanted to c.tnmlno her. Mr, Nlcoll objected, ns Mr. Spouncr did not appear on one Bldo or the other. Mr. Nlcoll asked that Mr. 8poonor do Dno his position, and he said that he repre sented the trustees of ths Central Park Baptist Church, and did not appear for Dr. Warren. Iio added: "I will say that the church stands In tbls light: By Mr. nichurdson's will it hrta beon be queathed a buui of tnonoy, quite considerable, in fact. After tho death of Uie testator a con test began, and eorlous charges ot unduo Influ ence have bocn made. It thoso charges aro ttuc, then Uio church does not want any part of tho money. Wo apprehend charges of undue Influcnco against Dr. Wurren. At the presont tlmo I prefer to take an impartial stand in ths matter." "Why Bbould Mr. Spoonor," Bald Mr. Nlcoll, "representing ono of tho beneficiaries, en deavor to break this will simply because there Is a disagreement between tho pastor ot the church und tho trustees as to tho reception of tho bequostst" Kdwnrd S. Clinch, appearing for Dr. Wnrron, Bald: "I don't know what stand Mr. Spoonor and tho trustoos tiro taking, but I appear for Dr. Warren. Long before thin contest was begun Dr. Witrien cauio to mo for personal ndvlcu, and wuen tho content woj begun ho cm ployed mo to look after his interests. I will also say I am unnwaro of any controversy be tween Dr. Warren and tho trustees of tho church." ".Mr. Siioonor's position," said Mr. Nlcoll, "Is unprecedented lit conrt praotice. Ho wants to bo on tho feneo or apparently on our sldo, whllo In reality he Is trying to break the will In faor of Mrs. Itlchnrdson und his church. Ills .lekyll and llydo performance is too much fur us. "I am acting under orders from the trustees, said Mr. Spooncr, "and I proposo to conduct tho caso as 1 seu flu I reiterate my previous statement that my clients seek to find out tho truth ot this matter at'd I am Instructed to get ut tho moro nilnulo details. I propose to do BO." Mr. Spooncr was permitted by the Surrogate to exumino tho witness. Burner W. Nichols, cashier of Biasell & Co., brokers, with whom Richardson did business, whs recalled. Ho said that Mr. Hlchardson bid called at their office on March 30 lat and went homo ill. The witness called on hlra on April 2. Hlchardson thcu sntd thnt ho wns very weak and that In the night ho thought he was going to die. He went downstairs and c.tilod for tho police, and a policeman responded and sent for a doctor." On Apul 0 tho witness again called on Mr. ltleharlson und found the son Gcorgo and u Mr. Ahniruse there. Q.-Whiit did Mr. nichardson sayl A. Ho said that Iio ivn In Loudon and thnt ho had been down to Texas since I last saw him. A few da s later the witness again railed. Mr. Hlchardson sold to him: "Nichols, I havo been in l,oudou lon,r enough. It's time for us to go back." On April 17 ltlthardsou said to "Get a carriage and tnko me out of tbl house. There Is a conspiracy going on here. Take me to Delia's or somewhere else," The witness had an interview with Mrs. HIchnrdxnn between April 12 and 15, in which Mr. Itichrrdeon Bald: "I understand that I am not remembered In the 1801 will. What shall I do I I haven't re ceived an-tblng." Tho witnos replied: "How wotiltl jOU liko ti have fAO.OOO placed in trust, tho principal on your death to go to tho childrenl" Mrs. Hlchardson replied that Bhe wanted tho principal herself, and the conversation ended. The witness continued: "Tne noxt day sbo again asked me what she should do. I said to her. This man hnsn't nny money. If you are satisfied with f.'O.ooo In trust, the principal to revert to tho children, I think it can be fixed up.' Sho said that she did not know whether tiio Income of $10,000 was enough." . , Mr. Nichols called on Hlchardson tho after noon of April 21, before tho will was made, and Hlchardson seemed to be Irrational. He called the next day, and Hlchardson said to him: "Nichols, havo you got 912 In vour pocket! Go and buy tickets to New York. Wo will miss our train." O. Did Mrs. HIehnrdson toll you after April 21 that the will bad been executed on that dayl A. No, sir. I never heard ot It until the dav of the funeral. Tho funeral was on Juno 11 last. On cross examination by Mr. Nlcoll tho witness said that Hlchardson said to him two days after the will was made: "If Chicago Gas goes up two points buy mo some." ... On May 20 he had anothor conversation with Mrs. Richardson, In which he raid to her "Thero Is a good deal of conspiracy here. This man U Insolvent. Ho hasn't a penny. You'd better havo that JfiO,000 fixed up." Hlchardkon told tho witness in May that ho wanted nil letters stopped from coming to his house, nnd that ho Intended to sue bis physi cian and overy one else for keeping him in the house. . , Tho coso went over to to-iiar.

FOR THE TREATMENT OF INDIGESTION, DISORDERED LIVER, GOUT, RHEUMATISM, GOUTY ECZEMA, DIABETES, CONSTIPATION, HEMORRHOIDS, AND KINDRED DISEASES OF THE STOMACH, LIVER AND KIDNEYS, USE KUTNOW'S IMPROVED EFFERVESCENT i; POWDER. j Sluggish Liver. I Why It Depresses the Spirits and Injures the Health. I No ono is ovor troubled with a derangotl lircr a3 long as thoro ia a M good freo flow of bilo. Tho first symptoms of a disordorad livar aro & droTrsinosa, lethargy, and a ponoral foaling of apathy, and thosa aro M. frequently acoompauioJ by pains botwean tha shoulder blades and ia n$ tho small of the baok, tho fluttorin, of specks boforo tho oyos, bilious M and sick hoadaclios, with or without nausoa. If this stato is not ro M lieved tho moro serious symptoms of jaundice, whioh frequently end by tho formation of gall-stones, sot in. Jaundice can only occur when J tho bilo ducts aro clogqod up ; that is, when tho bilo becomes thick- v ened and its flow rotardod in consequence, as then tho bilo, instead of J flowing frooly and passing out of tho body, turns back and gets into ff the blood, which in consequence becomes poisoned, honco tlio jaun- Jm diced or yellowish condition of tho skiu. If this state is not speedily n remedied, the inaction of tho liver causes tho formation of urio and 3 other acids, grarol in tho kidneys, etc. A general derangement of tho system now ensues, which is almost invariably accompaniod by tho groat onemy of mankind, "Biliousness," and particularly bilious vom- '4 iting and flatulence, tho latter being caused by a congestion of the lower bowel. Bilious or sick hoadncho is caused mostly by indigos- tion, and is usually followed by doprossiou of Bpirts, melancholia ? (caused by thickened " black bilo "), oausing au enervating influenoo upon tho nervous system. &. The most successful treatment to remedy thoso ovils ha3 hitherto "S been a course of treatment of some of tho famous European mineral springs, where tho patient was compelled to go, at groat oxponso and still greater loss of valuable time. -f These advantages may now be, however, onjoyed by any one, with- ' out leaving homo, and at a merely nominal oxponso, by a course of Kutnow'a Improved Effervescent Powder. ,, In jaundice, Kutnow's Powder renders tho bilo more fluid, thus "i helping its flow ; while tho use of it prevents any tendency to gall- ? stones, and at once removes biliousness. In coustipation it acts ns a ,1 natural stimulant to the bowel, causing incroasod excretion from tha entire alimontary tract. Thus tho foicos aro notallowod to accumulato ,1 in tho lower bowel, thero to undergo, in tho course of decomposition, thn various chantres. nroducts of which, boincr absorbed into thn S system, give rise to so many unpleasant symptoms. if' In acid dyspepsia and hromorrhoids its value is at onoo seen. For thoso reasons Kutnow's Powder is sure to bo a welcome help to digestion by supplying in a pleasant form a preparation whioh will contributo to tho cure of many stomachic ailmonts. Kutnow's Powder is not only an excellent aperient, but it also exorcises a beneficial effoot on tho livor, gall, bladder, kidnoys and stomach. Tho flavor is unobjectionable, and thus it is roadily taken j, by women and children. It has also boon successfully proscribed in ,s diabetes, and for tho correction of gouty and rhoumatio condition or predisposition thereto. "Its advantages," says a medical correspondent, "appear to arise, from its possessing tho power to eliminato from the body tho excess of bilo and acids, thoroby purifying tho blood and strengthening tho genoral tone by Improving tho assimilative processes of the dobilitatetl system. Consequently it has a salutary effect in cases of hypochon driasis associated with low spirits and genoral depression." For tho abovo reasons Kutnow's Powdor has boon employed, untler tho highest modioal authority, for patients loading sedentary lives and thoso suffering from abnormal accumulations of fat. Ladies of corpu lent habit will in particular find it a pleasant and effective remedy. WHAT THE MEDICAL JOURNALS SAY: Thelionilon Lancet of March 7, 1801, nays: " Tho medicinal rlrtues of tho well-known Mineral Waters ilupend on tho presence of mineral salts, which analysis has shown to consist largely of the iiilphates of soda, and potash, in addition to small quantities of carbonato of llmo, with which occur traces of tho rarer salti of lithium and ntronf la. The water Is accordingly reputed to bo useful In Rheumatism, Gout, and Kldnoy disorders. KUTNOW'S i-frerrpscont POWDKH Is stated to contain, amongst other Ingredients, tlio active principle of the salt obtained direct from tha mineral water. However this may be, otir analysis conflrmed the pres ence of tho chief constituents referred to. Tho Powder Is beautifully cloan and whlto, and is ovidently prepared with care, while the ta.sto ot the efforvosolns solution Is by no means dlsapreeable."
