be could be brought to admit that he had kept ‘penk-account, and when be did he guardedly gdded that it wasn’t much of an account. He would not dmit that be hadever kepta check- ook, and Witd ereat reluctance only admitted that he sometimes paid for his stock-purchases y checks sometimes by note, though he carried pis basiness allin his head.

T. STEWART are with ont foundatlon, since he had o right to will bis pillions to whom he pleased. If the TURNEYS make out prima. facie that they were blood-rela- sives of the late A. TURNEY STEWART, and ould bave been Lis heirs if he had made no Fill, then they will be entitled, in court, to.con- |est the will,—that is, to prove that it is no will, and both questions will be left to a jury lodetermine. The ground upon which the will wsbeenattacked, is, thatit isnot STEWART'S ¥ill, but one that he was induced by ‘un- 30¢ influence ™ of Judge HILTON to cxecute. There is wide seope, seemingly, -in the .case for tracted litigation, with decided uncertainty abont the result, as to this question of undue ffgence. As commonly understood, the chief of STEWART'S immense fortune goces, un- Zor the will and the letter of instructions to Mrs. StewaRT, and to Judge Hiurox, who was simply STEWART'S lawyer. The relation of law- yerand client has always been regarded by the Cowrts as a strictly fiduciary one, and the Courts have ever been quick to detect the “pad of the lawyer unduly influencing the testator, when the will directly or indirectly beacfited the lawyer. The peculiarity about the Brewanr will is, that, under it, the entire es- Late went to the widow. But she, in pursaance of instruetions left by STEWART, conveyed the satire mercantile property to HILTON, receiving therefor only the $1,000,000 bequeathed to that What these instructions were is not known, since they have not been publishied; but the presumption is, that they were drawn 0 a8 looperate 2s a condition to her acceptance of the property under the will, that she should sonvey it to HivtoN. The guestion will be, ontrial, what Hirzox had to do with influencing SraWART to make such disposition of his mill- fons. And, if it appears that HiiroN had anything to do with it, the Court, it is safe to sssume, will speedily set aside the will on the ground of undue influence, and, after the “widow’s dower is paid, the residue of the sstate will be distributed among the next of kin. There are in all sixteen contestants, as to whose blood-relationship with STEWART, the World says, there is very little doubt. They have engaged prominent counsel to conduct their cause, and there is prospect that some of the late STEWART'S millions will be wasted in lftiga- tion upon this question before any settlement Ls reached. . ——t——— They are experiencing a change of mind in £ Francisco as to the shooting down of mid- nght garroters, with whom it secms that town sounds. The police having, of course, proved wholly ineffectual for the protection of the citi- zms, talk about shooting down the garroters wis immensely popular. Young NEI, & clerk ina banker's oflice, tried it the other night. He observed three men standing at a street-corner. As he approached, one of them advanced toward Lim. Somebody whistled, or NEIL thought he heard somebody whistle, and the other two men crossed the street toward him. He or- dered them to halt, and, pulling his revolver, fired, fetching down two of them; and wonld probably have pistoled the third but for the arrival of & policeman. Then it was discovered tist he had shot & couple of well-known joung rhen, returning from a late call, whom his imagination transformed into garroters. And tow the Ban Francisco papers no longer advise their readers to shoot down garroters, but vig- oronsly argue that people should go unarmed, sven at the risk of being garroted occasionally. Then, at least, nobody would be shot by mis- ke K e Tt has been a favorite argument of apologizers for prize-fighting that, slthough the sport may bebrutal and bloody, it develops muscle and promotes health and physical endurance. A sufficient answer to this argument is the recent feath of ArTRUR CHAMBERS, the prize-fighter, ¥hohas fought fourteen pitched battles, and dled of consnmption the other day at Philadel- phis, 2t the early age of 30 years. — Wto Bex Borier is said to be the sparrow, with bis bow and arrow, who killed Cock-Robin.

Thenexts thing Mary Clemmer knew—and she knew it the next morning—was that Simon Cameron's son had ‘been appointed Secretary of War. Mr. James Gordon Bennett, it was said on good authority, had secured the services of Mr. Levy, the cornet-player, for the Jerome Park races. Levy was to play his cornet on Bennett's four-in- hand, on the way to and from the park. At the present writing it is not known whether this pro- gramme was carned out.

The firman permittng Dr. Schliemsun to con- tinue his excavations in Troja-Hissarlyk was de- livered to him in Constantinople on the 5th of May.

There are, ona liberal esti- mate, sbout 500 persons in this country who can ‘be called proficient in Scandinavian® and Icclandic literature, and of those 500 people probably not more than twenty subscribe and pay for the Nation. Inasmuch as the Scandinavian editor takes every- thing for granted, and is not sparing in the use of space, he must be set down as a good deal of & nui- sance. Froude eaid in his speech at the Lord Mayor's literary banguet: *‘If any statesman of the age of Augastus or the Antonines had left us a pictare of patrician eociety at Rome, drawn with the same gkill and with the same delicate irony with which Mr. Disracli has described a part of English society in “Lothair,” no relic of antiguity would now be devonred with more avidity and interest.” We never thought so meanly of the British aristocracy 28 to believe that Mr. Disraeli's picture of them was at all adequate or just; and, now that Mr. Froude has spoken on the subject, there is scarcely more resson to respect Mr. Disraeli's skill as a draughts- man. It is time that the stories of Theodore Tilton's public drankennees were anthenticated or dis- proved. Why does not the Cleveland Leader, or some other equally enterprising joumal in the neighborhood, ascertain ‘‘the bottom facts " of the Wellington affair, and give them to the world? Collect affdssits, get ‘somebody to swear that Mr. Tilton behaved like a drunken man, obtain the testimony of the Lecture Committee, pump theser- vant-girls—the people want to know about it. By the way, the Leader 1s unnecessarily incensed at Tue TriBUNE.

It was the awful Nautch girls, you know. But it now appears that these ballet-dancers are sedste and clumsy shufflers, whose fect are never 6 inches from the ground, and that instead of being robed in an indecent fringe they are literally wrap- ped up in long dark clothing from the neck to the heels. Andasthey perspired throngh their lazy performances the Prince had to endure them, with Nautch to molest him or make him afraid. ‘Moncure Conway had the good fortunc to enjoy a private view of the famona Gainsborongh before jtwasstolen.

Itis undoubtedly genuine, however. 3Ir. Conway passed straight from gazing on this picture to the Roya] Academy, and perhaps for this reason the latter exhibition seemed to him poor ‘beyond precedent.

To the Ediior of The Tribune. Cmicaco, June 3.—From your yesterday's transters,of real estatein the City of Chicago 1t can be seen that the shrinkage in some parts has beenimmense. We Dlave reference to the salc of the lot bounded by Elizabeth and Ada, Madison and Washington streets, = frontage of about 1,400 feet, 509 of which on each of Madi- son and Washington streets, for $156,000, and not forall cash either, for the $71,000 saleis supposed to be in part payment for the same. The front on Washington street is in the most desirable quarter of the residence portion of the street, while the Madison street front is mot much inferior either as residence or business property. It is true the property has been ad- vertised for sale under mortgages, but the price obtained, about $130 per foot, is so much below what the real cstate dealers have valued the property in that vicinity at for the last eight years, that it shows conclusively that to hold on tounimproved property, expecting it to double every year or tio, is a fatal policy, and must eventually result in disaster. This same land could have been easily sold at $150 per front foot eight {car; %—me ‘Washington street frout at perhaps $200. Somebody has lost a fortune on this one lot.| W.W. NEW SUBDIVISIONS. The following new subdivisions have been re- corded: 1. Circnit Conrt Subdivision of one acre in S. F. Smith’s Subdivision, Scc. 18, 39, 14. 2. W, L. Heaton's Subdivision of the S. E. ¥ of the S. W. 4 Sec. 11, 38, 13. 3. Carswell’s Subdivision of Block 1, of Eber- hart & Weage's Subdivision, Sec. 9, 38, 1. 4, Andrews' Subdivision of the N. W. ¥ of 8. E. % of N. W. ¥ Sec. 3, 38, 14. 5. The most important plat filed for record for some months past was that fled by Joseph East- man the past week, bringing into prominence the block formerly dedicated to Green's Garden, which witnessed the early exploits of the Chicago Cricket Club, has been the temporary abidinz place of donclng dogs and chattering monkeys, the home of the honseless after the great fire, and has resound- ed_to the music of the French Band, andto the wild_war-whoop of the untutored savage. The plat lays out 66 feet in width for qn extension of Throop street, between Madison and Washington streets, Between Throop and Ada strects there are eight lots with a total frontage north on Wash- ington street of 22213 fect by about 114 fect deep. Fronting weston Ada street are eleven lots 2 .9 feet, nndthereare the same number and size of lots fronting east on Throup street. On Madison strect therc are elght lots, each 22x45 feet. The Tots east of Throop street are of corresponding di- mensions, and alike innumber. This makes the total number of lots 76. FAILURE OF A NEW YORK AUCTION SALE. The New York Real Estate Record gives the articulars of the latest real estate auction sale n New York. It was an utter failure, not a lot. being sold. The property was all choice boule- vard and avenue lots. ~ “Upset prices” were anuounced as the rule of the sale, and in con- sequence no bids were made. Commenting on this sale the Record says: 0 Bottom has therefore not been found yet in the real cstate market, and it will not be until sellers 1aok at the situation as complacentip as did theman- ufacturers, who instituted the recent great dry goods salé. When holders or owners of real estate once ‘make up their mind to that—and come it mnst, as surely it will within {he next six months—fairand honorable competition, encouraged by-increased ‘building, which is going on all around n¢, will show that property in New York has not gone to the dogs, and will soon reassert itself in the csti- mation of capitalists. BLACK HILLS. BOUND TO TRY IT. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. Sroux CitY, In., June 3.—A Fort Sully spe- cial to the Journal says the military order pro- ‘Dibiting emigrants from crossing the Sioux Res- ervation from Fort Pierre to the Black Hills was very unwelcome to the officers at that post” They would much rather employ their forces in Bunismn the savages and assisting the miners it 1n obedience 1o, orders, the commander will send o company of the First Infantry to Pierre to-morrow to carry out instructions. John' Pierson, & former resident of Sioux City, retarned from the Hills_to Pierre to-day on bis way home, brlngix‘zig $2.000 worth of gold-dust, causing considerable ~ excitement among those at that rendezvous, and many started immediately, saying they would go through whether the Government’ is willing or not.

MOSIC’S OWN THRONE. - It Is the American Piano, and Its Pal- ace Is at the Centennial Exposition. $¢Musle, Heavenly Maid,” Holds Royal Court at the Congregation of Nations. The People of Every State and "Land Pey Harmonious Tribute to Her Worth and Power. And Hallet, Davis & Co. Seem to Be Her Prime Ministers. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 1.—One June even- ing four years ago I was among a few friends assembled in the rooms of Johann Strauss, at the 8t. James Hotel, Boston.. The clectric genius of the waltz was whirling off fragments from his “Morgenblatter,” “New Vicnna,” and “Blue Danube,” upon a handsome piano, while his brilliaut wife, Jetty Treflitz Strauss, stood behind him caroling gaily the sume airs. After half an hour or more of this luscious en- joyment, Strauss jumpced from his scat and ex- claimed fervently, * Well, I have had to come to America to find the best piano I ever touched. That's it His wife cchoed the encomium, and so did all the party, including the gifted Bendel, himself oue of the wmost effective of European pianists. THE INSTRUMENT was one of the Hallet, Davis & Co. make, taken out of the stock on hand in their Boston warerooms, and, while it was a piano of surpass- ing richness aud power of tone, was in no es- sential different from those made and kept con- tinually on sale by the same house and its vari- ous agents throughout the country. Pianos of this inake were then.in use at the Peace Jubi- lee, where they were walking straight into the affections of the musicians congregated from every quarter of the globe. I hud Known of THE TRIUMPHAL BUCCESS of the same kind of planos & year or twobefore, in a tour they had been sent “upon through Eu- rope, and, in George Banergft's gwn words, * I was very proud to hear it said in this land of musicians that so admirable a piano had never been manufactured in Germany” or anywhere else. - It.is particulerly agrecable to gpee more greet these perennial favorites under I}ubliu cynosurs and public commendation. The Hallet & Davis Company are represented in full force at the Centennial, and their exhibit is THE FORCMOST ATTRACTION of the musical department. For upwards of thirty years have these pianos been in the homes of the American people, doing o "gigantic work in furthering musical love and culture, and in making these homes the most attractive spots on earth. This tremendous private success 1ins been admirably _supplemented by eritical public approval, and over seventy first pre- miums, owarded by the uccurate judges of country, Stete, natfonal, and international fes- tivals, attest Tow. uniformly perfect are these cerless vianos. Even thevery latest of world's E-u.rs' , the one held last year at L CHILI, d prompt acknowledgment to the Hallet & avis instruments,'and the chief premium was tendered them. The firm has just received the medal and diploma voted by the diseriminating judges to the manufacturers of the best pianos exhibited. Every maker of note was represent- ed at the contest, and the victory was an en- viable one. 'With these newest of honors heaped upon the pleasant trophies of the past, this, onc of the very oldest of piano-making finns, puts ina proud appearance at the Centennial. ~ A gener- ous space has been allotted it by the Commis- sioners, and excellently has the” space been im- proved. AN ORNATE STRUCTURE has been erccted, of graceful design and hand- some finish, -completed in white and gold, with frescoed ceiling and two sides of French plate- glass, it is_the most conspicuous and beau- tiful temple of the divine art inthe entire musical department. Choice paintings adorn its interior walls, which, with the elaborate floor- ing, fine chandeliers, ete., give the apartment the suggestivencss of a refined drawiug-reom rather than of the ordinary Exposition Bazaar. In this airy and winsome_inclosure I find eight of the incomparable Hallet, Davis & Co.’s pianos. Most of these are inclosed in cases pre- pared especially for the present occasion,the actions, however, being exactly the same as are to be found in ol of the instruments sent out from their factory. One of these pianos, a tall upright, is THE YONARCH of the Music Department, the richest and most beautiful instrument of any to be seen any- where in the building. It s in 2 solid case of carved ebony inlaid with gold. he style is the rennaissance, and the workmanship worthy of Cellini or Ghiberti. Take the Hallet & Davis action—the noble musical soul—out of this glorious casket, and the case would still be oneof the triumphs of the Exposition. Its design, carving, and cntire finish constitute it a marvel of cabinet work, fit to the boudoir of a Queen. Bat for the fact that it has a musical heart, which pulses forth royal melody when touched aright, the proper place for this instrument would be a po- sition of honor in the sculptural division of Memorial Hall. It is more of a _sterling art- roduction than half the works tobeseen there- B Describing it in detail is o zood deal like tryi%;;:lto describe a painting by Titian, a marble by Phidias, or to write up Niogara. There is regal treat in store for readers of TUE TRIBUNE visiting Philadelphia in beholding and listening to this embodiment of all that isexquisitein the twin arts of music and sculpture.” There are three othec uprights in the display. These are of the firm’s usual design, but finished in TOE COSTLIEST OF WOODS, expressly for the Exhibition. The two larger onesare of different material, one being in ebony, with French walout panels, gold and and fret work; the other ina rich, wavy-grained rosewood, with French walnut trimmings, which contrast effectiveiy with the main wood. ' These have a refinement and dienity commending them to the appreciation of all cultured visitors, So, too, has the smaller upright, made of French burl walnut and thuya wood pancls, the Intter material being as rarc as it is beautiful. More superb embelllshments for howes of taste have never been perfected; more potent mag- uets to dufi thelove of every member of a family to the dear hearthstone for life have never been wrought. THE REMAINDER OF THIS EXHIBIT includes one of the magnificent orchestral grands made by this firm—a class of pianos for concert and_other public purposes, knowing no Tival in fhis or any other country—and two parlor grandsand a square of the firm’s cus- toary make. These unite with those I bave mentioned more in detail to constitute the most versatile and complete array of instruments to be seen in- the Exposition—or likely to ever be seen in any Exposition hereafter. ‘As to the musical qualitics of the Hallet, Davis & Co.’s pianos, I sec no use in going into %" claboration where every word must needs e NAUGHT BUT EULOGISTIC. The voluminous, rich, singing tones of these pianos; the remarkabie length of time they will remain in tune; the impossibility of wearing or . shattering thelr tone; and their everlasting dura- bility, arc features known -in°every State of North and South Americs, and all over Europe. The people of the West are particularly con- versant with their matchless excellencies. W. . Kimball has been selling them, in scason and out of scason, in Yrisk times and dull times, for years. Of the 20,000 and more of these pi- anos now In use, Mr. Kimball has found * APPRECIATIVE BUYERS for his share, and his warercoms at the corner of State and Adams street, Chicago , is 2 good place to test the truth of my asdertion that nothing but perfect planos are”aver allowed to go out from the manufactury of Hallet, Davis & Co. ) Here, then, is 8 house which has been makin| planos in Boston for thirty-three years, an which in that time bhas cemented éfernally to itself the good opinions of thousands upon thousands of buyers, and the plensant words of such magnates in the realm of music as Liszt, Strauss, Bendel, Gotts- chalk, Titiens, Abt, -Hellbron, Webli, Joachinm, Strakosch, and' others. 1ts members are men practically familiar with every detail of piano-manufacturing. They now come to this, the festival of nations and the Centennial re- joleing-time of America, with a display of their inimitable instruments, simply magnificent in their cost and beauty. Is it any wonder that their exhibition is the musical nucleus of the sition, around which settles daily the crit~ jcal element of professional and general ira- tion? Is it any wonder that the Hallet & Davis display is the bright central attraction of the entire musical department, the place of per- petual rendezvous for throngs of rmusiclovers from every clime? * 7 Quaker CITY. ———————— OBITUARY. ¥ S1.
