QUABANTINE—CLEANLINESS OF THE PORT OF NEW YORE—DBR, VANDERPORL ON THE ITAL- *IAN INTEBDICTION, The two oF three yellow fever pationts at Quaran- tiae Hospital, Dix Island, are rapidly regaining health. They are still weak, and it is deemed one of the errors of the treatment of cases of the kind to allow the pagionuts too mach liberty until they are physically mestored, When relapses onsue the cases frequently prove fatal No new eases are reported, aud no infected vossets have ar- rived within the past twenty-four bours. The steamer Hutchinson bas lighters alongside dis- charging hor cargo at Upper Quarantine, The City of Vera Cruz and the San Jaciato are at anchor there preparatory todiecherging. Mont of theother vessels, comprising alarge fleet, have been allowed to aepart with clean bills of heattb.

First, the curtain of secrecy that hid the old man Aloxonder Stewart from sight was drawn aside by the detectives, and the farmer was allowed to converse with the Hxnazp reporter to tis beart’s content, Socond, the son and danghter of the Vermont plaintiff arrived in town last night, rushed {o their fatber’s room in the Metrapolitan Ho- tel, and, falling npon bis neck, besought him to re- tura home, but their prayers were in vain, The old man announced that he would ’ stay ia New York wntit all was over. ‘Third, the plain. tif, Alexander Stewart, disowns tbe lawyer (Kneoland) who ciaims to represent him, and signs a petition «to «have = anovhor lawyer substituted in bis place, Fourth, while insist- Jng that he is a genuine frst cousin of the doccased milhonnorre, Le disclaims all desire to itigate and disavows ever having sanction! the use of his name ja apy proceedings toward contesting tho will. Th are the main new features, Tne minor ones are more numerous and scarcoly Jess strange. LOOKING AT THE Within Tho Heraxo reporter began yesterday’s work of in- Vestigation by a critica: examination of the will of tho late Mr, Stewart, This was for the purpose of as- certaining whether apy foundation existed for the in- singations by contesting lawyers that the will was bogus. Surrogate Ualvin readily sccorded the re- porter all facilities tor his work. “Every book and every document in the office is open for your tuspec- tion and for the inspection of all cltizens,?” sald the Surrogate, ringing a bell and directing a clerk to initiate the reporter into the mysteries of will searching. Ina huge volume, opposite the letier S, was found the official copy of the last will and testament of the great morchant prince It consisted of the testament proper and two codicils, The firat was divided into threo Short sections, Section 1 gave all the testator’s roal and pergonal estate to his wife, Cornelia M. Stewart, Section 2 gave to Judge Hilton, in consia- eration of his settling the business uftairs of tho tes- tator and in further consideration of triendship, the sum of $1,000,000, Section 3 revoked all previous lis, ‘The instrament was duted March 27, 1873, and witnessed by W. P. Smith, Thirty-tourth street and Filth avenue; William Bb. Ly: » same place; W. H, White, No, 223 Fifth avenne, and Dr. K. E. Murcy, No, 396 Fifth avenue On the same day the first of the codicils was executed. It modified the will only in giving to a number of old friends and omployés various bequests. It was witnessed by Cornelta = Stewurt = Smith, — Tmirty-tourth street and Fifth avenac, and W. H. Waite, No, 223 Fitth avenue, Tha cond an last codicil wus executed the day foliowing—namely, Maroh 28, 1873, It made some farther bequests, and Was witnessed by W. H. White and Edward B. Hilton. Following the wilt wss a letter trom Mr. Stewart to his wife, urging ber to carry out, in conjanction with Jndge Hilton, the various plans of benevolence and Philantaropy which ho (t stator) had in contem- Plation. Kverytbing on the record was complete and in full accordance with the forme of law provided for udiittance to probate. TUX LAWYER SPRAKS WS M1xD, The reporter next visited the office of Counsellor Kneeland, ‘That person was not in, bat his assistant spoke as jollows:—*‘Yes, sir; we are muking rapid strides im the matter. We propose to show that lor three years prior to his death Mr. Stewart was not in his rignt mioa. We shall prove it by the testimony 01 merchants of tne highest repute. “Auything further about the alleged in, dor, who ig at the Metropolitan Hotel?” asked roporior. “Oh,”? replied the attoracy, ‘I suppose he bas been Dought off by the other sido, but that don’t make Any difference, we have got powers of ustorney from Others of the claimants and we propose to go qhend,”” “Lace Judge Hihon pronounces the case one of Dinck mail?’ satd the reporter. “We will see,”’ said the lawyer. “Our proofs are overwhelming, Hilton 1s getting nervous over tt, and well he may. 1:’s no wonder old Str.

There ho is liv- ing at the Metropolitan Hotel like a lord, a poor old farmer whe never bad a dollar in tne world befor tell you what 1 is,’? comtinged the Attorney bringiog his fst down on a volume of “Greenieat’s Evidence,” ‘ihe old mao was abducted, and if you watch around to-night you will see gon and daoghter come to New York and demand that he bo released from bis luxurious imprisonment, If they retuso to let bim go wo will get out a writ Of babess corpus and bring the old man into court. Already we have served Judge Hilton with a potice of attorney’s lien to secure our costs, even should he make a settiement with the old man. Another uoportant fact L almost forgot to mention,’? Added the attorney; ‘we will show on the trial that when both Mrs, Stewart aud Judge Hilton swore bo- fore the Surrogate that they hed no kaowledge of any heirs being alive they know tho sam be untrue We will show that Mrs. Stewarts nd’s poor relation: bow thet on one occasion Judge Hilton accom. panied the Inte Mr. Stewart to bis native place in Ireland and heard bim adaress several porsons as cousins,’ “PRATHER, CoMR HOME.” To catch the sou und duughtor of the Vermont far- mer on their arrival at the Metropolitan Hotel wag the reporter’s next object. At seven o'clock pigbt they arrived, in company with Mr. Kneeland, and at once procecded to room No. 351 in tne Metro- politan Hotel.
