To-day 1 * weather—Fair and slightly cooler. The Arounder was talking yesterday with an old soldier who had just been to see Verest- chagiu's paintings, and asked him if he had ever witnessed scenes during the late War more terrible thantot*s> depicted by tne Bus- stan. " Oh, say yes, M said he. " Those battle pictures givo one something of an idea, but the realities of war are a thousand times worse. Tne men that went through Shiloh and Gettysburg saw horrors beyond anything that any artist could paint for public exhibi- tion. There are the frightful shrieks and groans, the praying and cursing, the harsh rasp of the surgeon's saw. and the frightful spectacle of humanity tortured in every possi- ble way. These are things that no painter can portray, and it Is best that he cannot."

Thanks for the Compliments. Buffalo £*press. As tright as a silver dollar, as neat as a new pin, and at welcome as the first rose of sum- mer, the Buffalo City Directory for 1890 made it* d* but before the expectant public yes.sr- day fresh from the hands of the Courier Pub- lishing Company. Irs general appearacct, especially when contrasted with that of its now deceased predecessor, » somewhat exhii- aratioz. Its external aspect differs not a great d«al from that of last years volume, the chief changes noticeable being a new '* ad • on the last cover and the addition of a narrow strip of bright green ribbon, which marks ths advertisement of a local banking-house. Bsrflain Commercial. The Buffalo City Directory for 1890 has just hews issued by its publishers, the Courier Com- M*y. It is a portly volume of 1,178 pages, ly printed, as usual A Brief Communion with the I>eputy Street Commissioner, a m i t h e V i e w s I t Elicited. - i • Michael J. Fox, the Street Commissioner de facto, though he doesn't draw the salary, was yesterday asked if be bad noticed the edi- torial the beading whereof designated Brother William Baynes as making a nuisance of him- self, and the body whereof recited wherein Brother Baynes had made a DU sane© of him- self—by sweeping certain prominent streets at unseemly and unauthorixjd hours, thereby nearly choking the multitude. Mr. Pox replied that he had. He further stated that Mr. Baynes had been officialiy notified that he must not repeat the offense. Then ensued a conversation on the general subject of cleaning ths streets and removing and disposing of the garbage, in the course of which Mr. Fox was conservative and watch- ful, baiag apparently on th> lmkout to make no statement which r portorial malignity might twist into damaging admissions. Mr. Fox thinks that in comparison with other large cities, the streets of Buffalo are kept reasonably clean. He thinks nothing would be gained by hav- ing a number of contractors to take the street-cleaning work in small sections, a policy favored by the Mayor. One man who knows his business, in the opinion of Mr. Fox, should do the work just as well He stemed to think rather lightly of Mr. Bay ties's pretensions that he is lcslng money hand over flit, and that the cleaning . of the streets of Buffalo should not cost very much more than is now paid for the service. The matter of removing the garbage was not so easy to figure upon es the straight work of street-sweeping. The amount of that work depended not upon the mileage of streets, but upon the density of population, and it wouldn't do to count upon any profit from the conver- sion of the garbage, for there wasn't a pound of animal fat in all that an average family would contribute in a year. He inclined to the belief that Mr. Baynes inflated the crema- tory people with erroneous notions concerning the gold mine to be found in the garbage barrels. " Could not ths Street Department do th'a whole work of cleaning the s.rees P he was aslcei. •• Whoever said it couldn't !'* w*s the ques- tion replied to the qu*. s ion. " But could the Department do it as eco- nomically t" This Mr. Fox did not appear prepared to answer, but he was emphatic in declaring that the Street Commiss.oner's office was compe- tent to perform any work that it was called upon to do. The stree's reported as neglected by the con- tractor are cleaned under the Street Coram s - sioner'sdirection, the expense ranging from $100 to §400 a month, which is deducted from the contract price. The mil sage of such streets, or the percentage of the whole work, Mr. Fox had not estimated. Mr. Fox had his own ideas about a crema- tory, he said, and believed he could at small expense construct one which would eff actually dispose of the garbage, but it would give no product of fortilizar. Ha did not detail his plan, nor say that he would make a bid under the new advertisement. Mr. ¥ox made no suggestions as to bow the street-cleaning system night be improved, the nference being that he considers ft all right as it ia The streets not cleaned by the con- tractor are clsaiiod under the Street Commis- sioner's orders. He didn't seem to think there was an un- clean street in Buffalo. Then the reporter passad out of the Hall and up Franklin Street, and when at the intersec- tion of Genesee Street he saw ths flat gutters filled with moist filth, and in Gdnesee Street s mass of nearly dried-out mud, inches deep, stretching away to Main Street, he pained for meditation on the mystery of mundane things. HEIRESS OB NOT ? EMPLOYERS' RIGHTS, S o m e o f the Members of the 65th are Between Firea The 65th Regiment will leave for the State Camp at 13 o'clock midnight on Friday, July 25, and a ' serious question now sgitatinc tha minds of the commanding officers is: Will the f uil strength of the Regiment leave the city at that tune ? The unwilling employer is once mors making bis claims upon the time of ids men, and many members of the Regiment have been refused permission to accompany their comrades. This is not an old obstacle, but it ia one the backbone of which was sup posed to have been broken. But events have proved that there is yet considerable trouble to be apprehended from this direction. Col S. M. Welch, Jr., commanding the 65th, when interviewed on the subject sail: " Since 1336" it has been the custom to visit the State Camp once every twoyeirj; previous to that once every three years Ths official or- der notifying us to prepare for camp duly is always received from headquarters at Albany. In promulgating the order of a week or so ago I stated that all membsrs whose employers re- fused them permission to attend camp must notify their officers of ths fact, and mc?ose the name of their employers The rea- son I did this was on account of a provision recently added to the cods by the Legislature, Heretofore the fine for absence from drills and camp duty has b e n f l to $5 for each offense of privates, snd $5 to $10 for officers. Camp duty wss consid- ered as one offense Now, however, it has been decided to make each day of camp duty a separate offense, thus subjecting members to a heavy fine for non-attendance. " As I said, this order was promulgated ub -ut 10 days ago, and since then I have been in daily receipt of names of those who say they are refused permission. Something like 75 names havs been recsived op to date, and I iear there ere mere to come. We intend to visit tbessemployers, sad I am confident that when they fully understand the situation they wOl no longer withhold their permission. " This week of eamp duty is a highly neces- sary and important factor in the training of our militia. It is more valuable than a year in the army would bo and everybody should appreciate its adventagea It is a serious matter. The State pays out about $100,600 a year for the maintenance of the eamp, and bow can desired results be attained if the men are not allowed to attend. To make a success of it, we should take 90 per cent of the Regi- ment's strength, or 503 man with us. Very many employers are afire to the advantages and are eager to havs ths men go. Cases have been brought to my attention where extra men have been hired to make up the deficiency sud both sstsof men paid. But that is ths ex - cepUon rather than the rul .\ " Will Harriet Tracy Receive $iOO,000 \ or Hot a Pennj ? Whoever thought that the Tracy will con- test was happily or unhappily ended is mis- taken. A final chapter which will tell whether Harriet Tracy shall receive $100,000 from ths estate of her father or be cat off without a shilling is yet unwritten, That clean-cut lawyer, John Parsons, who contested the Tracy will, was up from Hew York yesterday ia the interest of Harriet Tracy. He was accompanied by Charles Robinson Smith, his counsel in the famous will contest. The two lawyers cams in re- sponse to an action begun some months ago by Warren C. Bryant and John M. Way land, executors and trustees of the Tracy estate, against Agnes Ethel Tracy, the second wife of Francis Tracy and executrix of his estate, and Harriet Tracy, daughter of Francis by his di- vorced wife. Harriet Tracy is the only de- fendant as a matter cf fact. The nature of this action was fully revealed by Franklin D. Locke, of the attorneys for the plaintiff, who opened the case before Justice Daniels in the Special Term cf the Supreme Court. Mr. Loess said that Francis W. Tracy died April 15, leeo, leaving a last will and testament, by the provisions of which a legacy of flOO,- 000 was bequmthed to Harriet Tracy. Miss Tracy, then 19 years old, was to have the income on this amount until she became of age, when all of the bt quest reverted to her. Attached to the original will, however, were four codicils lha fifth clause of the second codicil contained a provision that sny legatee contesting the will, either individually or by another, should be cut off entirely from a right to the estate or auy portion thereof. The will had been contested by Miss Tracy through her special guardian. Judge Hum- phrey. Mr. Locke introduced a mass of documentary evidence sbowrog the contest before Surrogate Stern. He said 36 witnesses had been introduced by the contestants, in- cluding barbers, servants, and experts, and yet the courts had decreed that Mr. Tracy was poss«fS»d of sound mind. At the end of Mr. Locke's remarks, which bore mainly upon the validity of the revoking or disinheriting clause of the second codicil, be very coolly asked Mr. Smith, defendant's attorney, to take the witness stand. Mr. Smith, without manifosting any out- ward indications of surprise, went into the witness box and was sworn. After learning how the witness had become counsel for Mr. Parsons, Mr. Locke asked the witness if he had ever received any fee, and, if he had, from whom. Witness answered that he had received compensation for bis services on two occasions. Mr. L jeke was trying to ascertain whether witness had been paid by Judge Humphrey, the special guardian, or the rela- tives of Miss Tracy. Mr. Smith thought that on one of the instances mentioned he had re- ceived pay from Miss Tracy's relatives. Mr. Locke now called upon Mr. Parsons himself and put him through the same course of questioning. Witness was ab jut to answer the question concerning ths fee when suddenly he stopped. "One moment," said he; "I must consider whether to tell woald be vio- lating any confidence with my clients, -it will depend upon Your Honor's ruling whether I answer the question," said he, addressing the Court Finally Mr. Locke put his question in an- other way, and the witness said he had re- ceived compensation. " Money i " said Mr. Locke, interrogatively. u Assuredly." "I didn't know," said Mr. Locke, with a wicked smile, " but you might have taken your pay from the satisfaction you derived from the result of ths case." "No, sir-, n replied the witness, with empha- sis, " the result w&s a great dissatisfaction, n Ths two great points, at variance be- tween the lawyers was the relative responsibility of Judge Humphrey. Sur- rogate Stern bad appointed the JuJge special guardian of Misss Tracy. He bad declined to appoint anyone nominated or suggested by her or her friends, choosing rather to select a responsible but wholly disin- terested person. Judge Humphrey at the time of his appointment was a total straagdr to Miss Tracy. Mr. Locks sought to establish by Messra Smith and Parsons that while act- ing nominally as the counsel for Judge Hum- phrey they were really the legal representa- tives of Mi -s Tracy and received their feess from her; and then the Judge was merely an instrument by which she contested ths will of her father. Mr. Locke sought to prove by the two lawyers that Mr. Parsons had been re- tained for Miss Tracy before Judge Hum- phrey's appointment as special guardian, but this was virtually denied. Before quitting the stand, Mr. Parsons said he wsnted to state that from the beginning of the contest to the end be had but one client, and recognized but one client, and that person wss Judge Humphrey. At 5:30 o'clock counsel were ready to sub- mit their respective argumenta Mr. Parsons said if the Court would hold until 6 o'clock he wrs willing to take 15 minutes if Mr. Locks would consent to occupy ths stme tim*, and submit briefs afterward. Mr. Locks nodded assent. Mr. Parsons began by raising the question whether any action on the part of Judge Humphrey could constitute an election on the part of Miss Tracy at a time when she was legally incapable of making a choice. He would cite a wealth of authorities showing that a guardian could not prejudice the rights of au infant One of the fundamental ques- tions for the Court to decide was whether Miss Tracy, being an infant, could be made responsible for the act of Judge Humphrey. The speaker intimated that this was the action of Mrs. Tracy to cut the young woman off penniless, and he raised the question wbether the courts ought to maintain the validity of the codicil in question on the ground of public morals As Mr. Parsons had exceeded his 15 min- utes, Mr. Locke announced abruptly that he would speak in the morning, and Justice Dan- iels accordingly adjourned court • i.

The Committees on Firs and Texas and As- sessments held meetings last evening, at which routine business was transacted embracing no feature of special interest The Committee on Finance had under con- sideration an application by Charles J. Hodge to hmrn deeded back to the heirs land con- veyed by bis father to the city for public streets but not so used. The Committee will recommend that ths petition be denied. Objectors to Asphalt on Mala Street. The first matter taken up by the Street Committee was a report agreed to at a former meeting, recommending that Main Street be paved with Trinidad asphalt from the Erie crossing to the city line. The pavement has been ordered by notice of intention. Frauklin D. Locks addressed the Committee, on behalf of Mr. Rumsey and himsslf, he said. He submitted that the street ought not to be paved until it was decided just where the street railroad tracks were to be laid. Nothing in that direction had yet been form- ulated. If the pavement was put down first, the insertion of the tracks would spoil it The company ought also to pay for the paving be- tween the tracks. That could be made a con- dition of the franchise. Aid. White explained that the company had got the franchise already. So far as the kind of pavement was con- cerned, Mr. Locke didn't think there was unanimity among the people interested. There was nothing in the situation as he viewed it to warrant the interference of the mandatory power of tue Council to order the work. There we a no such demand. If $200 was expended, the street would be as good as was needed out there until next spring. If paved to-day he pradictt d that in a year the street wouldn't be as good as ths old toll- gate company kept it, and they didn't spend $200 a >ear on the part within the city limits. Mr. Locke intimated that this paving was not designed so much for the benefit of the City of Buffalo as for land speculators in the town of Amherst If a majority petition wera pre- sented he *would not have a word to say, whether it was to pave with Trinidad asphalt, German rock, stone, or what not, but until the position of the railroad tracks was determined no majority petition could be secured. Head- vised that toe matter be allowed to rest until after the Council's vacation, and let the people in the meantime decide what they wanted. He didn't think the spirit of the Charter per- mitted tbe Council to go on with a mile of pavement by notice of intention. Aid. White maintained other wise, ss the Charter expressly provided that the Council might by 20 votes order any street paved. Still Mr. Locke insisted that in this case to order the work by notice of intention was contrary to the spirit of the Charter. On the different petitions were enough names to make a majority, and he thought a majority peti- tion could be got after the question of the tracks was settled. The Hon. William F. Sbeenan next took the floor. He said he represented the Buffalo having Company. Las' Monday a petition which he believed was signed by a majority was sent to the Council asking that the street be paved with bituminous rock. If given the contract, the Company was ready to do toe work, with good material. So far ss the street railroad was concerned, the location of the tracks would no doubt be fixed be- fore any pavement was laid. The Coun- cil had passed notice of intention to pave the street with asphalt, but if the peo- ple didn't want Barber's asphalt, and did want the bituminous rock, the whole matter should st least be deferred until such time ss the Committee could determine whether there was or was not a majority petition.

Whits said the report already adopted by the Committee might as well go to the CounciL If the Assessors certified that the petition represented the majority of ths tax- payers, the matter could be smt back. The Assessors' communication would reach the Council ahead of the report He would him- self vote to refer the latter back to the Com- mittee if ths petition was signed by ths ma- jority. *» But suppose it lacks a few feet of tbe re- quired frontage, and it is known that ether names could bs readily secured I" queried Mr. Sheehan. * •* That would be for the Council to deter- mine," replied Aid. Wbita On his motion it wss voted to report as before intended. Tbe Street Inspectors. The next matter before the Committee was that of Street-Commissioner Quinn's appoint- ments of street and health inspectors. With- out any discussion the Committee voted to recommend that the appointments be con- firmed. Some Characteristic Action. Next wss a resolution directing the New York Central Railroad Company to r lace a flagman at ths Porter Avenue crossing Aid. Whits contended that there wss no necessity; there were no houses. Nonsense, said others. There are houses, and people cross there to go to the public bathing-bouses. The Committee agreed to recommend the adoption of ths resolution, Aid. Whits alone voting no. It was unanimously voted to recommend granting the remonstrance against the pro- posed pavement of Fourth Street; also the petition to change the name of Massachusetts Street so ss to dignify that thoroughfare with recognition as an avenue. The matter of the opening of Try on Place so as to make straight a crooked place, has long hung fire. Charles F. Whiteher, as attor- ney for one of the persons interested, wished it pot over again for two weeks,as the Corpor- ation Counsel had not yet reported, and he (Mr. Whiteher) was obliged to go to Chicago for a week or more, Tracy C. Becker characterised this as an- other scheme for delay. Two weeks hence soma new excuse would be presented. " His scheme," said Mr. Becker, " is to keep us go- ing hhe a shuttlecock oa the theory and with ths hope that he can make us buy him out" On motion of Aid. Kreitner, further consid- eration of the Tryon Place ease was postponed for two weeks Albro, Street Paver, Gets a Job. Then came up the interesting subject of the Abbott Road, where taxpayers have peti- tioned that the contract for paving the street be given the German Rock Asphalt Company, although William H. Albro's bid to do toe work with the same material wss l)wer by nearly $6,000. City-Attorney Laughlin's opinion wss asked. He said ths work should be given to ths low- est bidder, if responsible. " It's a plain propo- sition," said he, "Let the work to ths lowest responsible bidder or rsadvertisa" On motion of Aid. Whits, the Committee voted to recommend that toe contract be awarded to the lowest bidder, namely, Mr. Albro. Then ths Street Committee took a recess un- til next Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock. A GOOX> STORY. And What Is More, the Story Ia True, aa the Author Well Knew. Tbe following appeared ia a recent issue of the New York Evening Sun : Tbere is one well-known society woman in Buffalo—one feels like apologizing for that term, but what else can one say of a woman who is widely known as one of the most de- lightful women that hat ever graced Ameri- can society 1—who has done that very thing— taken the housekeeper's charge of a hotel, we mean. It happened in this way : One of the best known hotels in her city belongs to the family estate, and, in the hands of a proprie- tor, receives the general oversight of the own- era A few days ago hasty word was sent up to the home of the family early in the morn- ing that the proprietor had decamped in tbe night, and, worse yet had carried off all the provender with him. There were 2U0 guests in the house who would have to be fed, and somebody would have to take the helm im- mediately. Now, this rerj charming woman had taken ths helm of many enterprises before, but neveer one of just this magnitude. Down to the hotel she marched, however, went into consultation with the steward, gave him an order on toe grocery stores fur the necessary articles of food, and when the first guest came down to bis breakfast he never suspected that it had been set before biiu through the effi- ciency of one of the most prominent woman in Buffalo society. No one else appeared to take up the household management of the hostelry. This womsn had the leisure of the unmarried woman, and so she has gone on with the work. What before was the duty of the proprietor, the general management of affairs—now falls unon her. While she does not expect to take up hotel-keeping as a profession, she ;s still at it, and successfully at it and the Buffsionians are all flocking to the hotel to eat dainty viands that are set forth with one of the most delightful women as a caterer. This could apply to but one hotel, the Gene- see, owned by the Cary estate. The clipping reprinted above wss laid before Thomas Gary yesterday by a modest young man in an in- quiring manner. " My brother Walter is on the Sua," wss Mr. Gary's brief but comprehensive reply. In answer to further interrogation, Mr. Cary said that the heirs of the estate, of which the hotel is a part, have decided to take the management in their own hands, snd Buffalo will have another first-class hotel. Dr. Charles and Mr. Thomas Cary will manage the busi- ness affairs of the bouse, while it is expected that for ths present Miss Love will lend her executive genius in the overseeing of the housekeeper's department The decline of the fortunes of the Genesee Hoes) hss been due more to the incompetency of the last two man- agers than to the Iroquois's effect on Buffalo's hotel business. If it doesn't succeed now, it won't bi because the owners are not enterpris- ing. II I • W — •• A Mother's Barbarity. Supt Ripley reports that Ernest Heimsn of DRVGOODSAND No. 43 Sptess Street, sged ssven years, cruelly beaten by his mother with a strap having a buckle on it until bis back, hips, and legs were a mass of raw flesh.

ALL AROUND TOWN.

To-day1* weather—Fair and slightly cooler.

The Arounder was talking yesterday with an old soldier who had just been to see Verest-chagiu's paintings, and asked him if he had ever witnessed scenes during the late War more terrible than tot* s> depicted by tne Bus-stan. " Oh, say yes,M said he. " Those battle pictures givo one something of an idea, but the realities of war are a thousand times worse. Tne men that went through Shiloh and Gettysburg saw horrors beyond anything that any artist could paint for public exhibi­tion. There are the frightful shrieks and groans, the praying and cursing, the harsh rasp of the surgeon's saw. and the frightful spectacle of humanity tortured in every possi­ble way. These are things that no painter can portray, and it Is best that he cannot."

Of the visitors at the Deaconesses' Home, young ladies thus far have made up the greater part, and the expression " What jolly fun it must be to be a deaconess • is heard frequently. The* have only to learn that the deaconesses have no pleasure in persuing JJArt de la Mode or discussing its illustrations bt f .re decidedly altering their charitable opin­ion. This Is what is ordered by the Confer­ence: " That the color of the dress b* black, made * ithout drapery, with round waist and bishop sleeves. Collar and cuff* of linen, with white iawn fturplice, no jewelry to be worn. Hair worn plain. There may bo two outside wraj s, a long peasant cloak and a half-long, loowr-fit.;ing coat, white the bonnet shall be plain, cottage ihap?, made of bl ick material, with white inside mcning."

* * • Erie County has a humorist grown on its

own soil. The Arounder claims credit for the discovery, but will withhold for the present the name cf the jester, that he may not be be­trayed by his own blushes to his more phleg­matic townsmen. This rara avis hails from the poetic villsge of Getty, and writes under tbe soubriquet of "Jacob's Ladder." Here are $pecimens of his homespun handiwork:

Michael J. Fox, the Street Commissioner de facto, though he doesn't draw the salary, was yesterday asked if be bad noticed the edi­torial the beading whereof designated Brother William Baynes as making a nuisance of him­self, and the body whereof recited wherein Brother Baynes had made a DU sane© of him­self—by sweeping certain prominent streets at unseemly and unauthorixjd hours, thereby nearly choking the multitude.

Mr. Pox replied that he had. He further stated that Mr. Baynes had been

officialiy notified that he must not repeat the offense.

Then ensued a conversation on the general subject of cleaning ths streets and removing and disposing of the garbage, in the course of which Mr. Fox was conservative and watch­ful, baiag apparently on th> lmkout to make no statement which r portorial malignity might twist into damaging admissions.

Mr. Fox thinks that in comparison with other large cities, the streets of Buffalo are kept reasonably clean.

He thinks nothing would be gained by hav­ing a number of contractors to take the street-cleaning work in small sections, a policy favored by the Mayor. One man who knows his business, in the opinion of Mr. Fox, should do the work just as well

He stemed to think rather lightly of Mr. Bay ties's pretensions that he is lcslng money hand over flit, and that the cleaning . of the streets of Buffalo should not cost very much more than is now paid for the service. The matter of removing the garbage was not so easy to figure upon es the straight work of street-sweeping. The amount of that work depended not upon the mileage of streets, but upon the density of population, and it wouldn't do to count upon any profit from the conver­sion of the garbage, for there wasn't a pound of animal fat in all that an average family would contribute in a year. He inclined to the belief that Mr. Baynes inflated the crema­tory people with erroneous notions concerning the gold mine to be found in the garbage barrels.

" Could not ths Street Department do th'a whole work of cleaning the s .rees P he was aslcei.

•• Whoever said it couldn't !'* w*s the ques­tion replied to the qu*. s ion.

" But could the Department do it as eco­nomically t"

This Mr. Fox did not appear prepared to answer, but he was emphatic in declaring that the Street Commiss.oner's office was compe­tent to perform any work that it was called upon to do.

The stree's reported as neglected by the con­tractor are cleaned under the Street Coram s -sioner'sdirection, the expense ranging from $100 to §400 a month, which is deducted from the contract price. The mil sage of such streets, or the percentage of the whole work, Mr. Fox had not estimated.

Mr. Fox had his own ideas about a crema­tory, he said, and believed he could at small expense construct one which would eff actually dispose of the garbage, but it would give no product of fortilizar. Ha did not detail his plan, nor say that he would make a bid under the new advertisement.

Mr. ¥ox made no suggestions as to bow the street-cleaning system n i g h t be improved, the nference being that he considers ft all right

as it ia The streets not cleaned by the con­tractor are clsaiiod under the Street Commis­sioner's orders.

He didn't seem to think there was an un­clean street in Buffalo.

Then the reporter passad out of the Hall and up Franklin Street, and when at the intersec­tion of Genesee Street he saw ths flat gutters filled with moist filth, and in Gdnesee Street s mass of nearly dried-out mud, inches deep, stretching away to Main Street, he pained for meditation on the mystery of mundane things.

HEIRESS OB NOT ?

EMPLOYERS' RIGHTS,

The 65th Regiment will leave for the State Camp at 13 o'clock midnight on Friday, July 25, and a ' serious question now sgitatinc tha minds of the commanding officers is: Will the f uil strength of the Regiment leave the city at that tune ? The unwilling employer is once mors making bis claims upon the time of ids men, and many members of the Regiment have been refused permission to accompany their comrades. This is not an old obstacle, but it ia one the backbone of which was sup posed to have been broken. But events have proved that there is yet considerable trouble to be apprehended from this direction.

Col S. M. Welch, Jr., commanding the 65th, when interviewed on the subject sai l : " Since 1336" it has been the custom to visit the State Camp once every t w o y e i r j ; previous to that once every three years Ths official or-der notifying us to prepare for camp duly is always received from headquarters at Albany. In promulgating the order of a week or so ago I stated that all membsrs whose employers re­fused them permission to attend camp must notify their officers of ths fact, and mc?ose the name of their employers The rea­son I did this was on account of a provision recently added to the cods by the Legislature, Heretofore the fine for absence from drills and camp duty has b e n f l to $5 for each offense of privates, snd $5 to $10 for officers. Camp duty wss consid­ered as one offense Now, however, it has been decided to make each day of camp duty a separate offense, thus subjecting members to a heavy fine for non-attendance.

" As I said, this order was promulgated ub -ut 10 days ago, and since then I have been in daily receipt of names of those who say they are refused permission. Something like 75 names havs been recsived op to date, and I iear there ere mere to come. W e intend to visit tbessemployers, sad I am confident that when they fully understand the situation they wOl no longer withhold their permission.

" This week of eamp duty is a highly neces­sary and important factor in the training of our militia. It is more valuable than a year in the army would bo and everybody should appreciate its adventagea I t is a serious matter. The State pays out about $100,600 a year for the maintenance of the eamp, and bow can desired results be attained if the men are not allowed to attend. To make a success of it, we should take 90 per cent of the Regi­ment's strength, or 503 man with us. Very many employers are afire to the advantages and are eager to havs ths men go. Cases have been brought t o my attention where extra men have been hired to make up the deficiency sud both sstsof men paid. But that is ths ex -cepUon rather than the rul .\ "

Whoever thought that the Tracy will con­test was happily or unhappily ended is mis­taken. A final chapter which will tell whether Harriet Tracy shall receive $100,000 from ths estate of her father or be cat off without a shilling is yet unwritten,

That clean-cut lawyer, John Parsons, who contested the Tracy will, was up from Hew York yesterday ia the interest of Harriet Tracy. He was accompanied by Charles Robinson Smith, his counsel in the famous will contest. The two lawyers cams in re­sponse to an action begun some months ago by Warren C. Bryant and John M. Way land, executors and trustees of the Tracy estate, against Agnes Ethel Tracy, the second wife of Francis Tracy and executrix of his estate, and Harriet Tracy, daughter of Francis by his di­vorced wife. Harriet Tracy is the only de­fendant as a matter cf fact. The nature of this action was fully revealed by Franklin D. Locke, of the attorneys for the plaintiff, who opened the case before Justice Daniels in the Special Term cf the Supreme Court. Mr. Loess said that Francis W. Tracy died April 15, leeo, leaving a last will and testament, by the provisions of which a legacy of flOO,-000 was bequmthed to Harriet Tracy. Miss Tracy, then 19 years old, was to have the income on this amount until she became of age, when all of the bt quest reverted to her. Attached to the original will, however, were four codicils l h a fifth clause of the second codicil contained a provision that sny legatee contesting the will, either individually or by another, should be cut off entirely from a right to the estate or auy portion thereof. The will had been contested by Miss Tracy through her special guardian. Judge Hum­phrey. Mr. Locke introduced a mass of documentary evidence sbowrog the contest before Surrogate Stern. He said 36 witnesses had been introduced by the contestants, in­cluding barbers, servants, and experts, and yet the courts had decreed that Mr. Tracy was poss«fS»d of sound mind. At the end of Mr. Locke's remarks, which bore mainly upon the validity of the revoking or disinheriting clause of the second codicil, be very coolly asked Mr. Smith, defendant's attorney, to take the witness stand.

Mr. Smith, without manifosting any out­ward indications of surprise, went into the witness box and was sworn. After learning how the witness had become counsel for Mr. Parsons, Mr. Locke asked the witness if he had ever received any fee, and, if he had, from whom. Witness answered that he had received compensation for bis services on two occasions. Mr. L jeke was trying to ascertain whether witness had been paid by Judge Humphrey, the special guardian, or the rela­tives of Miss Tracy. Mr. Smith thought that on one of the instances mentioned he had re­ceived pay from Miss Tracy's relatives.

Mr. Locke now called upon Mr. Parsons himself and put him through the same course of questioning. Witness was ab jut to answer the question concerning ths fee when suddenly he stopped. "One moment," said he; " I must consider whether to tell woald be vio­lating any confidence with my clients, -it will depend upon Your Honor's ruling whether I answer the question," said he, addressing the Court

Finally Mr. Locke put his question in an­other way, and the witness said he had re­ceived compensation.

" Money i " said Mr. Locke, interrogatively. u Assuredly." " I didn't know," said Mr. Locke, with a

wicked smile, " but you might have taken your pay from the satisfaction you derived from the result of ths case."

"No, sir-,n replied the witness, with empha­sis, " the result w&s a great dissatisfaction,n

Ths two great points, at variance be­tween the lawyers was the relative responsibility of Judge Humphrey. Sur­rogate Stern bad appointed the JuJge special guardian of Misss Tracy. He bad declined to appoint anyone nominated or suggested by her or her friends, choosing rather to select a responsible but wholly disin­terested person. Judge Humphrey at the time of his appointment was a total straagdr to Miss Tracy. Mr. Locks sought to establish by Messra Smith and Parsons that while act­ing nominally as the counsel for Judge Hum­phrey they were really the legal representa­tives of Mi -s Tracy and received their feess from her; and then the Judge was merely an instrument by which she contested ths will of her father. Mr. Locke sought to prove by the two lawyers that Mr. Parsons had been re­tained for Miss Tracy before Judge Hum­phrey's appointment as special guardian, but this was virtually denied.

Before quitting the stand, Mr. Parsons said he wsnted to state that from the beginning of the contest to the end be had but one client, and recognized but one client, and that person wss Judge Humphrey.

At 5:30 o'clock counsel were ready to sub­mit their respective argumenta Mr. Parsons said if the Court would hold until 6 o'clock he wrs willing to take 15 minutes if Mr. Locks would consent to occupy ths stme tim*, and submit briefs afterward. Mr. Locks nodded assent. Mr. Parsons began by raising the question whether any action on the part of Judge Humphrey could constitute an election on the part of Miss Tracy at a time when she was legally incapable of making a choice. He would cite a wealth of authorities showing that a guardian could not prejudice the rights of au infant One of the fundamental ques­tions for the Court to decide was whether Miss Tracy, being an infant, could be made responsible for the act of Judge Humphrey. The speaker intimated that this was the action of Mrs. Tracy to cut the young woman off penniless, and he raised the question wbether the courts ought to maintain the validity of the codicil in question on the ground of public morals

As Mr. Parsons had exceeded his 15 min­utes, Mr. Locke announced abruptly that he would speak in the morning, and Justice Dan­iels accordingly adjourned court

in a methodical sort of way. Sinoe arriving here he has endeavored to secure copies of all newspapers that contain letters from people believed to have been skipped, " Everyone of these will be investigated," said he in an interview last evening. " I would be very glad," he pursued, " to receive communica­tions at once from any persons who think they have been missed by the local enumerators.

"Yesterday I went out to ths block in East Buffalo canvassed by the COUBIER reporter last Sunday. Tbere I find quite a district that has not been finished, though the enumerator has been working on it right along. Tv?o men are now taking the census out there and the district will soon bo completed. *

Mr. Wood bad nothing to say about the es­timate of the population made h y Mr. Doug­lass. That was not in his line, he said. What he was here for was to see that the fiiures were obtained if pcsnble, and, that oone, his duty ended.

He had investigated several complaints. In a great many instances, though not in all, the people were found to have been counted. Soma families bad been away when the cen­sus man called and the data had been ob­tained from the neighbors; in other instances the data had been gotten from servants.

Mr. Porter is more than ever convinced that a recount is unnecessary and will not authorize anything of this kind under any circumstance.

Mr, Albro Will Probably Get the Abbott Road Paving Contract

" " "•' ' Opinion of the City Attorney and Action

of the Street Committee The Pro­posed Pavement of Main Street

- T o t h e City Line.

The Committees on Firs and Texas and As­sessments held meetings last evening, at which routine business was transacted embracing no feature of special interest

The Committee on Finance had under con­sideration an application by Charles J. Hodge to hmrn deeded back to the heirs land con­veyed by bis father to the city for public streets but not so used. The Committee will recommend that ths petition be denied.

Objectors to Asphalt on Mala Street.

The first matter taken up by the Street Committee was a report agreed to at a former meeting, recommending that Main Street be paved with Trinidad asphalt from the Erie crossing to the city line. The pavement has been ordered by notice of intention.

Frauklin D. Locks addressed the Committee, on behalf of Mr. Rumsey and himsslf, he said. He submitted that the street ought not to be paved until it was decided just where the street railroad tracks were to be laid. Nothing in that direction had yet been form­ulated. If the pavement was put down first, the insertion of the tracks would spoil i t The company ought also to pay for the paving be­tween the tracks. That could be made a con­dition of the franchise.

Aid. White explained that the company had got the franchise already.

So far as the kind of pavement was con­cerned, Mr. Locke didn't think there was unanimity among the people interested. There was nothing in the situation as he viewed it to warrant the interference of the mandatory power of tue Council to order the work. There we a no such demand. If $200 was expended, the street would be as good as was needed out there until next spring. If paved to-day he pradictt d that in a year the street wouldn't be as good as ths old toll-gate company kept it, and they didn't spend $200 a >ear on the part within the city limits. Mr. Locke intimated that this paving was not designed so much for the benefit of the City of Buffalo as for land speculators in the town of Amherst If a majority petition wera pre­sented he *would not have a word to say, whether it was to pave with Trinidad asphalt, German rock, stone, or what not, but until the position of the railroad tracks was determined no majority petition could be secured. Head-vised that toe matter be allowed to rest until after the Council's vacation, and let the people in the meantime decide what they wanted. He didn't think the spirit of the Charter per­mitted tbe Council to go on with a mile of pavement by notice of intention.

Aid. White maintained other wise, ss the Charter expressly provided that the Council might by 20 votes order any street paved.

Still Mr. Locke insisted that in this case to order the work by notice of intention was contrary to the spirit of the Charter. On the different petitions were enough names to make a majority, and he thought a majority peti­tion could be got after the question of the tracks was settled.

The Hon. William F. Sbeenan next took the floor. He said he represented the Buffalo having Company. Las' Monday a petition which he believed was signed by a majority was sent to the Council asking that the street be paved with bituminous rock. If given the contract, the Company was ready to do toe work, with good material. So far s s the street railroad was concerned, the location of the tracks would no doubt be fixed be­fore any pavement was laid. The Coun­cil had passed notice of intention to pave the street with asphalt, but if the peo­ple didn't want Barber's asphalt, and did want the bituminous rock, the whole matter should s t least be deferred until such time s s the Committee could determine whether there was or was not a majority petition.

Aid. Whits said the report already adopted by the Committee might as well go to the CounciL If the Assessors certified that the petition represented the majority of ths tax­payers, the matter could be smt back. The Assessors' communication would reach the Council ahead of the report He would him­self vote to refer the latter back to the Com­mittee if ths petition was signed by ths ma­jority.

*» But suppose it lacks a few feet of tbe re­quired frontage, and it is known that ether names could bs readily secured I" queried Mr. Sheehan. *

•* That would be for the Council to deter­mine," replied Aid. Wbita On his motion it wss voted to report as before intended.

Tbe Street Inspectors.

The next matter before the Committee was that of Street-Commissioner Quinn's appoint­ments of street and health inspectors. With­out any discussion the Committee voted to recommend that the appointments be con­firmed.

Some Characteristic Action.

Next wss a resolution directing the New York Central Railroad Company to r lace a flagman at ths Porter Avenue crossing

Aid. Whits contended that there wss no necessity; there were no houses.

Nonsense, said others. There are houses, and people cross there to go to the public bathing-bouses.

The Committee agreed to recommend the adoption of ths resolution, Aid. Whits alone voting no.

It was unanimously voted to recommend granting the remonstrance against the pro­posed pavement of Fourth Street; also the petition to change the name of Massachusetts Street so ss to dignify that thoroughfare with recognition as an avenue.

The matter of the opening of Try on Place so as to make straight a crooked place, has long hung fire. Charles F. Whiteher, as attor­ney for one of the persons interested, wished it pot over again for two weeks,as the Corpor­ation Counsel had not yet reported, and he (Mr. Whiteher) was obliged to go to Chicago for a week or more,

Tracy C. Becker characterised this as an­other scheme for delay. Two weeks hence soma new excuse would be presented. " His scheme," said Mr. Becker, " is to keep us go­ing hhe a shuttlecock oa the theory and with ths hope that he can make us buy him o u t "

On motion of Aid. Kreitner, further consid­eration of the Tryon Place ease was postponed for two weeks

Albro, Street Paver, Gets a Job .

Then came up the interesting subject of the Abbott Road, where taxpayers have peti­tioned that the contract for paving the street be given the German Rock Asphalt Company, although William H. Albro's bid to do toe work with the same material wss l)wer by nearly $6,000.

City-Attorney Laughlin's opinion wss asked.

He said ths work should be given to ths low­est bidder, if responsible. " It's a plain propo­sition," said he, "Let the work to ths lowest responsible bidder or rsadvertisa"

On motion of Aid. Whits, the Committee voted to recommend that toe contract be awarded to the lowest bidder, namely, Mr. Albro.

Then ths Street Committee took a recess un­til next Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock.

A GOOX> STORY.

A n d W h a t I s M o r e , t h e S tory Ia True , aa t h e A u t h o r W e l l K n e w .

Tbe following appeared ia a recent issue of the New York Evening Sun :

Tbere is one well-known society woman in Buffalo—one feels like apologizing for that term, but what else can one say of a woman who is widely known as one of the most de­lightful women that hat ever graced Ameri­can society 1—who has done that very thing— taken the housekeeper's charge of a hotel, we mean. It happened in this way : One of the best known hotels in her city belongs to the family estate, and, in the hands of a proprie­tor, receives the general oversight of the own-era A few days ago hasty word was sent up to the home of the family early in the morn­ing that the proprietor had decamped in tbe night, and, worse y e t had carried off all the provender with him. There were 2U0 guests in the house who would have to be fed, and somebody would have to take the helm im­mediately.

Now, this rerj charming woman had taken ths helm of many enterprises before, but neveer one of just this magnitude. Down to the hotel she marched, however, went into consultation with the steward, gave him an order on toe grocery stores fur the necessary articles of food, and when the first guest came down to bis breakfast he never suspected that it had been set before biiu through the effi­ciency of one of the most prominent woman in Buffalo society. No one else appeared to take up the household management of the hostelry. This womsn had the leisure of the unmarried woman, and so she has gone on with the work. What before was the duty of the proprietor, the general management of affairs—now falls unon her. While she does not expect to take up hotel-keeping as a profession, she ;s still at it, and successfully at i t and the Buffsionians are all flocking to the hotel to eat dainty viands that are set forth with one of the most delightful women as a caterer.

This could apply to but one hotel, the Gene­see, owned by the Cary estate. The clipping reprinted above wss laid before Thomas Gary yesterday by a modest young man in an in­quiring manner.

" My brother Walter is on the Sua," wss Mr. Gary's brief but comprehensive reply.

In answer to further interrogation, Mr. Cary said that the heirs of the estate, of which the hotel is a part, have decided to take the management in their own hands, snd Buffalo will have another first-class hotel. Dr. Charles and Mr. Thomas Cary will manage the busi­ness affairs of the bouse, while it is expected that for ths present Miss Love will lend her executive genius in the overseeing of the housekeeper's department The decline of the fortunes of the Genesee Hoes) hss been due more to the incompetency of the last two man­agers than to the Iroquois's effect on Buffalo's hotel business. If it doesn't succeed now, it won't bi because the owners are not enterpris­ing.
