Bf& I Henrietta T. Blatchford, n nleca of Snmuol J.
fir I Tildes, has begun an nctlun in Ilia Supreme
If I Court to establish n midline will of her slslrr,
) I Ruby Tllden Paine, wife of Willis RPaliic.
WY J formerly Superintendent of tho Bunking De-
Bf, L partmentqf thoStnie. Mrs. Patnodlcdon Dec.
MJl7 SO last. Her citato, tlio vnluo of which is
AW' placed at from $260,000 to $000,000. was
Lff largely derived from tho cstnto of Mr. Tlldon.
Lwf, Justice Trunx made on Oct. 115 Inst an order
mWfk which required the examination of Willis S.
WMf Paine so that the plaintiff could elicit evidence
Wm ' from him on which to f ratno a complaint. Little
WMt ' luccess attended this effort of the plaintiff, and
Hi 1J jestorday Justice Deach ernntcd an order set-
tsnfMi) ting-aside tho order under which Mr. Paine was
M)f ' to testify beforo lllchord II. Clarko. William T.
1 Bchley, for Mm. Blatchford, will appeal from
Justice Beach's order,
sny Mrs. Paine had 10 children, and her father
Hji and mother wero dead, so that if she dlod In-
whf testate her whole personal estato rocs to her
JtYf husband. As the will, which I missing. Is al-
Whv leged by the plaintiff to havo left the estate to
Bfljn .1 Mrs. Palne's family, most of tho members of her
VJP family are mado co-defendants with Mr. Paine.
Bl i Mrs. Palne's brothers are George II. Tllden and
j Bamuel J. Tllden, who succeeded In breaking
-JR. Ifr the will of their uncle, Samuel J. Tllden, And In
WWi. W baring the bulk of his large estate divided
A ( among them and their sisters. The sisters are
IBw the plaintiff and Mrs. Carollno D. Whittlesey of
MM' Plttlfleld. MassandMrs.SusinT. Sabln of this
WB'f city. The plaintiff's son by n former husband,
WtA II. Tilden Swan, Is one of the defendants.
vm Thecetltion of tho plaintiff on which tho or-
jfl dor for the examination of Mr. Paine was
jfl j granted states that for a number of years Mrs.
1, J Paine lived at 155 West Fifty-eighth street with
I her husband, and was rosiding thero with him
K at the time of her death. The plaintiff avers
mU that Mrs. Sabln, Emily It- Tllden, the wlte of
I'M I Goorge Tllden, ami II. Tilden Swnn havo in-
llsn? I formed her that Mrs. Pntnoand hor husband
IK I both made wills on May 10, ltjlU, on tho eve ot
M- I their departuro for hurope. Mr. Paine, It Is
Mm. J further averred, toox both wills away, saying
i! that he would deposit them in a safe deposit
If vault: that later, on a number of occasions, it is
my f declared. Mrs. Paine had Btuted to members of
mill I PeT family that sha had mado her will and that
HA her estate would go to her family.
WfL The plaintiff soys that she waited about three
A- weeks after the iloatb of her sister, expecting In
J vain to hear of her will, nnd then, with Mrs.
i Sabln. at the request of Mr. Pnlno, went with
him to the safe deposit vault of Air. and Mrs.
Paine in the Garfield Safe Deposit Company
I building for tho avowed purpose of getting the
will of Mrs. Paine. The affidavit of tho plaintiff
s continues:
Urn- "On the way to said safo deposit vaults.de-
Um fendant Paine Informed deponent and her said
Mf lister that the will contained various provisions
Mm which he mentioned speclllcnlly. On their ar-
H rival at said vaults deponent and her said sis-
mm? ter examined the box which hod formerly been
IBS. l nsed by tho Bald Jluby Tllden Paine and the
WlJ laid Willis T. Paine, but found therein no will.
JB I J That deponent and hor sola sister thereafter
-4Ki fjf made a thorough search In the apartments of
JmJ.-iA Mrs. Paine in Fifty-eighth street and found no
m will, but found two draft wills; one in pencil in
fmvj A tho handwriting of her sister, said Ruby Tilden
VR' I Paine, and tho other typewritten, following
K, substantially tho terms of tho pencil draft.
!', . "These drafts contained, among other things,
fl the provisions which defendant, Willis 8. Palue,
f ! had told deponent and her B.ild sister wero con-
r tainodln the will of said ltu by Tilden Palue.
', their sister. That after the finding of the drafts
! aforesaid the defendant, Palnc. stated in the
fii I J presence of deponent in substance that he bad
jf the custody of his wife's will, and that be had
no recollection of Its ever bring returned to her
mill or destroyed. Deponent further says that the
mmrl draft wills dlscorored in tho upartments aforo-
jmw I aaid, with tho exception of certain specified
IV legacies of small amounts and an Incomoof
5 91U.0O0 per milium to tho defendant, Palnc, left
decedent s eutlro estate to her brothers and els-
ters.
1 " Deponent further rays that th defendant,
f - Wlllts S. Paine, now declares that he is unnble
' I to Und a y will of said Huby tilden Paine, and
fl 1 has applied for and received letters of adininis-
V I trntlonfromtheSurrogate'sCourtof thecounty
I I of New York upon a petition in which ho makes
Bli.i I oath tn that effect. Deponent is Informed and
xl I believes that tho defenaant, i'ame, prepared ihe
HVs will of bis said wife for execution nnci is fully
lBC'-' aware of the uoutoutH and i an glo information
'V I thereof, and that ho ii fully aware of all tho
M. V facts nnd circumstances which nro necessary to
MM) II determine whether said will was cvor altered,
H destroyed, or revoked during the lifetime of the
m A ttstutor."
Mr I The plaintiff, who lives at 37 lllx orildo Drive,

W If I counsel. Mr. Palne's attorney, WaldoG. Morse,
WW I 1 it Is said, on behalf of tho interests represented
mff I by the plalntltT, was named In the alleged will
fmf I of Mrs. Paine as one of tho executors.
jf." I Mr. Paine said to a Sun nporter last night:
mti' I "I should be ery glad to make an extended
mt alatement replying to each and every allegation
t which Mrs. Blatcbford in hir aflldavlt makes
Hf against me, but my lawyer advises me not to be
I interviewed now, I will say this, however:
H This controversy 19 now in the Supremo Court.
Hf the caso will soon bo tried, nnd then all the facts
fm will come out. If Mrs. Blatcbford can prove
Hir the allegations sho makes against me 1 shall be
Mm very much surprised. I am amply responsible
rl to meet any claims justly made against me. I
lit don't owe a dollar in the world."
mm yh A family connection, who does not wish to
Mw fi take part publicly In the dispute over tho miss-
yM'JfsZ- ,, lng will, snid lsst night that Mrs. Blatchford's
mWCth f listers, Mrs. Sabln and Mrs. Whlltlesc). were
9mfK-t S with her In the effort to establish tho will, and
Mfl li tear were mode defendnnts formally In order to get
flBvll Hf' them Into court. The Su'n'b informant said the
mwKvJr Im whole force of tho effort which Mrs. Blatchford
HE WlH '" leading was for tbo purpose of carrying out
BKfVfJI Mrs. Palne's often expressed desire and lnten-
fi . f)P tlon to have her property, at her husband's
Bf ' I ? death, revert to her own fumily, not for tho pur-
wi VI Pose of taking it from Mr. Painv during his life.
mn lf It was perfectly well understood, according to
Mi ll I the Information coming from this source, that
mm 111 I Mr. Paine was to have tho use of bis wife's prop-
WfJl I erty Ba long as ho lived, and the only persons
Will j Immediately Interested in tbo establishing of a
Wff ' will by Mrs. Paine were, it wns said, a few to

Thero were 200 Chinese in the courtroom
of Part I., General Sessions, yesterday at the
trial of three nlleged highbinders charged with
felonious assault. Tbo only Caucasians In
court wcTe ntno lawyers who nppenred for the
defendants, tho court clerk, the stenographer,
tho Judge, the Jury, tho newspaper reporters,
nnd tho prosecuting attorney. Tho Chinese
cluttered, to tho despair of the court ofllccrs,
but herculanean efforts finally stopped the
clack.
Tho lawyers cxplatnod tho case to the Judge
nnd Jury by snylng that Mock Tuck, Ham Fay,
nnd O Lin Foon wero tho defendants, nnd that
they wero charged with being members of a
committee nupolntcd to kill Chu Kong, a Chi
naman living nt Bordcntown, S. J who come
hero on tk-pt- 25 to visit his cousin Chu Lock.
It wns stated on behalf of the defenco that tho
thrco prisoners wero members of the Hep Sing
Toug, o. sort of Chinese Parkhurst society.
Tho articles of Incorporation were introduced
in evidence to show that the society had been
orgnnlzoiUlo stump out gambling aud opium
smoking. Iho defence further alleged that tbo
complaining witiicxs, thu Kong, was a high
binder, nnd that ids society had ordered the
deaths of the three defendants, nnd further that
Cnu.Uongwas tho ussnssln assigned to kill the
committee; that ho tried to kill tneni, and suc
ceeded In stabbing two of tho Chlneso reform
committee, then cutting u slice oft his own leg
tor tho puriHiso of posing as the injured one.
Kach side had as many witnesses as trie other,
all of the Chinamen in tbe courtroom being
ready to testify, and 200 moro who were waiting
in tho corridor.
Ihe caso got tangled up half dozen times
during tho day. Dr. Jin Fuey Moy acted as in
terpreter. In administering tho oath to the
witnesses Dr. Mo) said:
"M bcung sin yuen chin chlng chl txe yu
Kong. Tusi aheung, u sheung-tl chl che ni."
'lhlswns the way in whloh Dr. Moy asked
the witness his name:
"Nl kin to unit mingl
When the wltncs answered Dr. Moy would
Ucklo him with this one:
"Nl chl ho chut '
That meant, "Where do you resldel a ques
tlou dear to beginners in phonography after
ttioy havo learned tho condensed way ef writ-
When Mool: Tuck got on tho stand to tostlfy
ho proceeded to undress, chattering like a mag
pie, and making motions to tho Jury. Dr. Mof
explained to tho Court that Mr. Tuck had stub
wounds, loo, just like the complainant, nnd that
ho lnicndod lo prove it to tho jury. Judge Cow
ing said it wasn't necessary, and the inter
preter so informed the witness, but Tuck paid
no attention. Ho kept right on removing
thrco blouses and two shirts und throwing them
on the floor. Then ho stood up, nnd proudly
exhibited Miveral scars on his bared body.
Atsistnnt District Attorney Allen proceeded
to cross-examine Tuck, saying:
"Where were you on tho night of Sept, 28 at
8 o'clock!" . . .
The wltnecs sang something that sounded
like this:
"Li seer owo former di chong war allcr soe
amon neo chap chong Kla ma do-n fong sem a

lot moro that kept him singing for tlvo min
utes, und until Judge Cowing adjourned tho
court for the day.

The proceedings to havo Dr. Frederick O.
Winter of 18 Patchen avenue declared insane,
and for the appointment of a committee of his
person and estate, was begun before Jndgo llurd
In tho County Court In Brooklyn yesterday.
Dr. Winter escaped from a sanitarium at As
toria, L. I., on election night nnd went to Jer
sey City, and since then has been staying at
Taylor's Hotel. The proceedings were insti
tuted by William U. Suydam on behalf of Jen
nie E. Winter, v. ife of tho physician. Dr. Win
ter Is said to bo worth about $50,000. He was
In court and took notes during the examination
or witnesses.
It was testified that he had undergone an
operation two years ago and began to use co
caine, and that ut last he became incompetent
to cHre for his fnmlly. He began to act qucerly
and ono night Mrs. Winter found him stand
ing at tiie foot of the bed with a lamp and re
volver in bin hnnd. He said he was looking for
burglars. While they were on a visit to Kings
flelcl, Me., lost summer, Sirs. Winter said, the
doctor locked himself In a room and wore noth
ing but his underclothing. Once he fired a shot
out of tho window and when asked why he did
so, said that he flred at some men who wero
tn inir to get into his room and that If he had
not killed them ho had at least filled their coats
with holes. He filled the keyholes full of cotton
and nut shawls up at tbe windows so that men
could not look in.
Dr. Winter will testify in his own behalf to
dnv nnd will endeavor to show that there is a
conspiracy against him to have him locked up
in an asylum.

as pastor of St. Matthew's English Lutheran
Church, Sixth avenue and Second street,

rent of the pow, yet he was not a communi
cant, hut ho believed he was entitled io vote.
"Are you a member of tbo church!" asked

" Yes, ho Is," bald ox-Mayor Charles A. Schler

Tho vote resulted In a victory for Mr. Main's

Martin Thorn, the barber, who Is chanted
with having murdered William GleldscnsuUpe
on June 25 was put on trial for the second tl',no
In tho Supreme Court of Queens county sitting
in Long Island City yesterday morning. The
renewed offort on the part of tho Stnto to fas
ten the crlmo upon him was attended with ill
luck. Justice Wllmot M. Smith, who profildcd
nt the formtr trial, announced from the ltonch
that he was too 111 to hear tho caso, andJnstlco
Samuel T. Moddox of Brooklyn took his place.
Two hours' delay waa caused by reason tit this
misfortune, but after Justice Maddox asironded
the bench he hustled things along with great
celerity. Seven Jurors had been selected nt tho
close of the day's work. While this ilires not
equal the record of tho last proceeding, where
the full complement was chosen on the first
day, it is conslderod quite as remarkable, owing
to the great notoriety that was given tho caso
at that time and the consequent likelihood of
prejudice being aroused In tho rulnils of tho
talesmen.
That the Interest of the publlo had partially
subsided was shown by tho smaUness of the at
tendance as compared with that at tho former
trial, and '.ho dulness of tho day's proceedings
evidenUy bored thoso who took tho Uuublo to
come.
Thorn was brought Into court at 9:30 o'clock
manacled, as usual, to Cnpt. William Methvcn.
No change was noticeable in his appearance
save that his upper lip showed the faint trvco
of a mustache, A moment later Justk o Smith
intcred tbo courtroom. He looked pale nnd hag
gard. As soon as court wns formally openel
ho announced that his condition was such that
he did not dare go on with the trial. His phy
sician had told him ho was suffering with
malaria, duo In part to the confinement in tho
badly ventilated Court House. He feared that
he would break down under tho strain of added
labor und that n mistrial would result. It was
therefore arranged that another Justice should
bo sent for. After District Attorney Young-v
and Mr. Howo had expressed their regrets, a
recess was taken until 11 o'clock nnd scouts
Bent out for a Justice. Justlio Moddox re
sponded tn tho call nnd was on hand at 11
o clock. Iho roll o' tho talesmen waj then
called and the lawyers settled down to the
work of getting n jurj.
It soon became apparent that more time was
to be devo'ed to thiB task than on the previous
occasion. Mr. Votings fired questions as, fast
us he could get them out, but Mr. Howe wns
more deliberate and much more searching in
his queries. Ho showed plainly ky a hypoihetl-
Icnl question just what tho character of his de
fence wns to be. The purport of tho question
was this:
A man is on trial for murder. Another per
son swears that this m in did the killing. The
man swears that the other person did the kill
ing. What would the Juror do with the man
if there wero a reasonable doubt as to who did
the killing, without any reference as to the
cutting up of tbe body or the disposition of itt
Beforo Mr. Howo would accept a talesman that
talesman had to say that he would acquit the
defendant referred to in the hypothetical
question.
Sometimes Mr. Howe nsed the names of
Thorn and Mrs. Nock in the forming of the
question, nnd this made it all the stronger. The
State objected on the ground that this was
summing up beforehand, but the Justice over
ruled them. ThUB Mr. Howo thinks that by
attacking Mrs. Nack be may be able to ralso a
doubt as to who actually killed Qleldenssuppe,
and secure an acquittal for his client of the
charge of murder in tne first degree. After
court, when it was sug.ested to him that this
certainly nado Thorn an accessory after the
fact, he replied:
"But that's not murder. I don t care any
thing about that."
The change, of Justices caused a change as to
tbe time for the uso of peremptory challenges
by the State. Justice Smith ruled that tho
privilege must be used before tho talesman was
turned over to tho defence, Mr. Howe ex
cepted to this, just as he did to Justice Mad
dox's reversal of it, Tl e effect of the change
was to lengthen tho examination.
Two jurors were obtained before the court
took a recess for lunch. On reconvening
?:rocreoj was comparatively slower, nnd in tho
our and a half hours following but five addi
tional names were added to the panel. Those
drawn to far are:
Monsx. Tnoxis. builder. Corona.
tvsxxs. Jacob U , florist, Bsyslde.

The work of completing the Jury will be taken
up at 0:30 o'clock this morning. The lawyers
hope to finish by noon, and then the trial will
commence in earnest.

New York Heal Estate Salesroom, at 111 Broad
way, revived this rumor. Mr. Harnett was one
of tbo brokers rbo have always stood by the
exchange. When the real estate auctioneers
broke away from the exchango several years
ago and started a salesroom In the Trinity build
ing he was ono of those who refused to go with
tho crowd. He waa compelled by law, however,
to take his logal sales to the Broadway room.
Mr. Harnett said yesterday:
"These legal sales Tammany has always con
trolled since the org" nlratlon of tbe Broadway
salesroom, and as Tammany is in power again
and will continue to give tbst exchange its sup
port. 1 must join the exchange or drop out of
the swim."
Tho fact is, Mr. Harnett is tbe only largo auc
tioneer who has been doing business at the Lib
erty Street Exchange, and as the result of keep
ing open a large auction room for his sslss, the
exchange was losing money. As an auction
room the floor spaco has realized only about
ItS.OOO a year, while for offices it Is calculated
lhat it would fetch 915.000.
The exchango hs a flno property on Liberty
street, for which an offer of MftO.OOO was onre
declined. The property Is capitalized for $VK),
000. There was talk aomo months ago of selling
the property to the Chamber of Commerce.

occupied dwelling next door was burning. Her
husband and two farm bands attempted to put
out the Art, but the building was burned to the
foundations. It was owned by Horace Crane,
and was valued at 1,000. At daylight Hood

ing for his Thanksgiving dinner. From the
coop there was a trail of feathers that led to
the Crane houie, and from there Hood followed
it across the fields to John J. Ludlow's farm,

ba?n was burning. The structure was envoloped
in flames when Ludlow reached It, ann h was
unable to rescue n highly prized blooded horse
kept there. Ludlow- found that before the barn
had been tired two barrels of cider bad been
rolled out of tho structure.
When the two Arcs were reported to the Cran
ford police suspicion at once fell on Seward. Ho
failed to give any excuse for being at Ludlow's
so early In the morning. He was locked up on
a charge of arson made by Cranford's Police
Commissioner. He denies setting fire to Crime's
house and Ludlow's barn. The police are look
ing for a man whom they bellove to be his ac-eornplic.

MR. SCOTT'S TART REPLY. '
CORPORATION COUNSEL IB JJSAZ.OUB
O' IIIB PREROGATIVES.
Bo Answers K. Kllery Anderson's Criticism t
Ills Method or Cendnctlaa- fleneel llto
Condemnation" Proceedings tir Telllns;
Him "To Jllnd His Own Hasinas,"
School Commissioner E. Kllery Anderson doei
not like the manner In which Corporation Coun
sel Francis Til. Scott has conducted and is still
conducting condemnation proceeding! to ac
quire school sites. Ills particular objection I
gainst tbe employment as special counsel In
such proceedings of ex-Judgo Thomas Allison.
On Nov. 18 Mr. Anderson wrote a letter to Mr.
Scott In which be expressed his dissatisfaction,
and, ho said, tha dissatisfaction of the Board ot
Education, with respect to the amounts charged
against " its funds" for compensation for special
counsel. He specified certain particular allow
ances to ex-Judge Allison, and stated that as
these had to be paid from tho proceed! of bonds
appropriated for tho uso of tho Board of Educa
Uon, It would soeru only reasonablo that tho
board should bo represented aa a party litigant
on tho motion to tax costs, when tho allowances
comnlaiuedof nro made. Mr. Anderson further
requested to be furnished with copies of the
moving papors In these proceedings in which
allowances have been made to Mr. Allison, and
also for a copy of the notice and paper! tn a
fourth procoedlng when tbo papers are Mired
on the Corporation Counsel.
This request ann frank criticism ot the meth
ods of the Law Department met with a sharp
rejoinder from Mr. Scott, who sent a long letter
to Commissioner Andorson yesterday, in which
he told that gentleman in plain language lhat
he wss meddling with something which is no
business ot bis. Mr. Scott at tbe samo time
criticised the Board of Education for extrava
gance in selecting school silos. Among other
things tn this letter, he said:
" li scums lo me that the Hoard of Education
Is laboring under a strango misapprehension as
to thu relative Dowers aud duties of thu board
and of the Counsel to the Corporation, a ral.ap
prehenslon which is tbe moro surprising In view
of tbe fact thai so largo a proportion of tbo
members of your board are lawyers."
He goes on to show that the fund for purchase
of school sites Is in no sense tho property of the
Board of Education: that the law Intrusts to
that board the selection of sites, a discretionary
power with which no otherofllcialcsn interfere;
that In tbe exercise of that discretion they have
selected Bites Involving tho purchase and de
molition of valuublo buildings when, a few feet
away, they could have secured sites without
any buildings on them. He adds:
"Aai have no share of responsibility In or
right to criticise your selection of school sites,
either because ot their excessive value or of
their location, so you have no right to criticise,
or supervise, or Interfere with my performance
of tbe duUes Imposed upon me by statute In tbe
matter of acquiring such sites, and, so fares
any proprietary Interest In the fund Is con
cerned, which, from my point of view, neither
ou nor I possess, you aro responsible for that
expenditure which Is involved In selecting sites,
and I alone am responsible for thu expenditure
involved In 1 heir acquisition, and my responsi
bility in this regard is not to you but to tbo city
of New York,"
Mr. Scott says tbat he would not have advert
ed to the extravagance of Mr. Anderson's board
had It not been for bis unwarranted attack on
him as well as for the fact that the selection of
such expensive sites had added to bis labor and
responsibility In defending the city against ex
cessive claims. He adds that he will consent to
no interference with him in the exercise of his
dutleB, declines flatly to accede to Mr. Ander
son's request, and sava that ho will object to any
rcpresentatlreof the Board of Education appear
ing In any ot tho condemnation proceedings. He
concludes bis letter as follows:
"You have forced mo to nssumo and Insist
upon this position by the very peremptory and
discourteous latter which you have officially
sent me. I may say at tho same time, however,
tbat there is no net which I have performed since
1 have been Counsel to the Corporation which I
am not ready at any time to explain or Justify
to any one who has the right to ask such expla
nation or Justification, or who. even not having
that right, shall sesk in a proper manner to ob
tain information upon tbe subject, and I shall
be happy at any time to discuss with you or any
member of your board tbe details of the matters
to which you object, and to give you tbe reasons
that havo led mo to retain Judgo Allison nnd
other special counsel and to consent to tbe taxa
tion of their bills for services."
