JONATHAN BCOTILLE'S WILL. ynmerons Bequests for Charitable PurposesOne Gift Keyoked for Discourtesy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Buffalo, March 9. The will of the late Jonathan Scoville was o tiered for probate to-day. The estate is estimated at about 3,000,000. The testator gives to his two sisters $20,000 each; to his nephew, William II. Harper, of Chicago, and to his niece, Mary L. Filling, of Washington, $15,000.. He gives in trust for his nephews, Samuel Scoville, Bascbal and John F. Wisher, $50,000 each; to the widow of his deceased brother, Samuel Scoville, an annuity for life of 500; to- the St. John's Episcopal Society of Salisbury, Conn., tho interest in perpetuity of $50,000. and the Methodist Episcopal Chapel of Unionville 500 per annum in perpetuity. He aives to the Butlalo Orphan Asylum, Historical Society. Fine Arts Academy, St. Vincent's Female Asylum and the Home for the Friendless, $5,000 each; to the Buil'alo Fine Arts Academy 52,500, and a like amount to the general hospital, to be nsed for a school for nurses. A codicil, however, revokes the bequest to the Fine Arts Academy, and directs that 5,000 be given to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, aud $20,000 to the University of Buil'alo. Article 10 gives $12,000 for a suitable building in Salisbury. Conn., for the use of a public library. Other minor bequests are also made. The remainder of the estate goes to the trustees in trust for the six children of his brother, the late Church Scoville, to be given them successively as they become of age. The history of the revocation of the fine .arts bequest is a curious one. About a month ago Mr. Scoville sent some statuary to the t ine Arts Academy, out no acknowledgment of the gift was made, which angered Mr. Scoville so that he bad the codicil framed, saying: "If these people don't think enough of a gift I send them. to acknowledge it, why, they need not have any more' The academy trustees say that the statuary came just after a regular monthly meeting, and they were waiting for the next meeting to make the otlicial acknowledgment. m m ' HE WAS AN 0PIUM-JEATER. Farther About the Mysterious Suicide at Toledo Bis Violent Conduct Explained. Toledo, O., March 9. The mystery of the suicide at the Boody House is slowly being unraveled. This ovening the body was identified by Mr. Gashe, a lumber merchant, as that of a young man living in Detroit, to whom he was introduced a week ago by Mr. Lodge, a Detroit lawyer. Lodge told Gashe the man was an opium-eater, and that , a short time ago he had, while under the influence of the drug, come into his Lodge's office in Detroit, declaring that he would murder someone and then kill himself. Lodgo quieted him. gave) him some money and let him go. The fact that the suicide had a large quantity of opium is thus explained, as .well as his visit to Father Quigley. He was probably under the influence of opium when he made the call and threatened to commit murder. Mr. Gashe does not remember his name. KIDDER, PEABODY & CO. Proposed Changes in the Firm Separate Uouse to 1! Established at New York. New York, March 0. Reports were current to-day that steps were being taken to reorganize the firm of Kidder, Peabody & Co. by cuttina the New York office off from the Boston house and organizing a new firm here. It was stated that the New York house would be composed of Thomas Baring and George C. Magoun and their associates, and be known as Baring, Magoun &. Co. Mr. Geo. C. Magoun. when asked about the report, said: "It is not in definite enough shape to make any announcement yet." In regard to his connection with the Atchison company he said the change in tho title and membership of the firm would not alter his relations to the Atchison company in any way. He will continue to act as chairman of the board of directors. It is understood the present firm of Kidder, Feabody iV Co. will continue under the same name and will include those who are now active iu it here, including the Feabodys and C. K. Kidder. The firm is prominent all over the world and is generally- looked upon as a Boston house, but its operations in New York have grown to such importance that a separate organization here became necessary. - "Will Revolutionize Transportation.

NOVEL CASE OF ABDUCTION

Wife Who Refused to Live with Her Husband Forcibly Taken io llis Home. The Rouse Barricaded and the Authorities DefiedFrench Lion Tamer Fatally Torn bj One of His Beasta The Dying Prince, ABDUCTED IIIS WIFE. Singular Course Taken by a Husband to Compel Ills Spouse to Live with Him. London; March 9. An abduction under most sensational circumstances is reported from Chtheroe, twenty-eight miles from Manchester. Yesterday xnorninfr. as Mrs. E. Jackson was leaving a church in that place, a carriage, drawn by foaming horses and containing three men, was rapidly driven np and stopped near the lady, who was seized upon and forcibly conveyed inside the vehicle. The carriage containing the abductors and their victim then drove rapidly away, with friends of tho ' lady in vain pursuit. The abducting party finally alighted before a house in Blackburn and conducted Mrs. Jackson inside the dwelling. They then proceeded to barricade the doors and windows of the house, and strenuously refused admittance to the party of pursuers who had followed them in another carriage. It has been learned that the principal abdnctor and the occupant of the barricaded house in Blackburn is . H. Jackson, who is the husband of the abducted lady. It seems that three years ago Jackson privately married the lady, then Miss Hall, and that she is the possessor of a fortune of '27,000. After the marriage Jaokson went to Australia, returning, however, early in 18S9. But the lady then absolutely refused to live with him. Jackson thereupon obtained a high court order for restitution of conjugal rights, notwithstanding which his wife steadily refused to live with him, and he resorted to abdnction. After the abdnction crowds of people surrounded Jackson's house, which they threatened to storm, in an etlort to release Mrs. Jackson, but the chief constable warned them that in so doing they would be guilty of a breach of the peace, while Jackson himself, from a window of the house, shouted defiance at these outside, saying he had a largo force ready to resist any attempt at rescue. Both sides were on the alert throughout last night and all to-day. The police have succeeded in maintaining order outside the house. Mrs. Jackson's solicitor has obtained a warrant against the abd ictors for assaulting his client's sister at the time of the abduction, but the adductors still remain barricaded within the house and cannot be arrested. Crowds of people are still watching the house. Provisions were ordered by telephone today, and, on arriving at the house, were hoisted in through a window. , The husband of the abducted lady declares that he is prepared to stand a siego for a month, and that he has the law and right on his side. TORN 11Y AN ANGRY LION. Terrible Fate of a Tamer Who Tried to Master a Refractory "King of Roasts. Paris. March 9. A terrible scene, by which a well-known lion-tamer will lose bis life, was witnessed at the Hippodrome in this city to-day. The spectacle of "Nero" Is being prepared at the Hippodrome, and one of the feutures of theehowis an attack by a number of lions upon wooden figures, so arranged in the arena as to represent human beings. Sects, the lion-tamer, had just concluded the day's drilling or training of six lions for this performance, and was driving them back into their cages, when one of them sullenly refused to re-enter his cage. eets managed to cage the remaining five lions, and then turned his attention to the rebellious animal, which had angrily taken refuge in a reighboring passage. Seets armed himself with a lance and tried to dislodge the refractory liton. but in so doing he tripped and lost hold of his lance, the weapon rolling several j urds away from him. Before the lion-tamer could regain possession of the lance the angry lion sprang upon the unfortunate man. hnrled him to the lloor aud bit and rent him in a most horribie manner. Seets's cries for help soon brought another of the trainors to the scene. Tho latter caught np the lance and gallantly attacked tho lion, intlicting a severe wound with the weapon in the annual's forehead. Cowed by the wound the lion released poor Seets and slunk into its cage. Medical assistance was promptly sent for and everything possible was done to save the lion-tamer's life, but the latest reports are that he is in a dying condition. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Continued rains since Thursday night have raised the watsr in Big Black river higher than ever known, aud it is still rising rapidly. It is np to the floor of the bridge; all the other bridges in the county are gone and communication is cut offl The Illinois Central railroad track is lifted bodily from its bed and deposited in the ditch for miles below and above here, and the embankment swept away. Incalculable damage has been done by the water.

FimXG FOR (iUDUEO.NS. The Spanish Story About Bcried Treasure in America Probably an Attempt to Swindle. San Francisco, March a A dispatch from Pittsburg last night states that the First National Bank of Pittston has received a letter telling of treasure belonging to the late King Alphonso. which was buried in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania. The story bears a remarkable resemblance to the letter received nearly two Pyears ago by a San Francisco gentle man. The letter was dated Lagunta, Spain, April 4, 18Sa It was signed M. Del Rio. It told of a prisoner named Fredcrique Val, who had buried treasure in the United States. The letter was very vague and great secrecy was enjoined. The gentleman answered the letter and in return received another letter, this tune signed Esq. Frederique Val. It stated that be was one of King Alphonso's courtiers, and had been intrusted by, him with treasure, consisting of money and jewels, which was buried in this country. He had been imprisoned and was without money. If the gentleman would kindly forward him a little over 3.000 francs to pay the court expenses he would send him papers so that the treasure could be found. Tho gentleman was to receive one-third as his share. Val also said that the papers were in possession of the Spanish authorities wlibdid not know their value, and they could be easily obtained. The gentleman took no further notice of the matter, as he thought it a swindle. The first letter signed by Kio was stamped with the seal of the parochial church of San Joso Lagunta, leaving the impression that the writer was a priest. STEAMER PROBABLY LOST. Twenty Passengers and the Crew of the Buckeye Supposed to Have Been Drowned. Seattle, Wash., March 9. The steamer Buckeye, with twenty passengers and her crew, is reported lost in the gale of last night on Puget sound, between Edmunds and Apple-tree cove. . The Buckeye left Edmunds' yesterday morning for Appletree cove, across the sound eight miles distant, taking about twenty passengers, mostly women and children, who went for a pleasure trip. At Apple-tree cove the Buckeye loaded a cargo of vegetables and started back, but at last accounts had not reached Edmunds, and had not been seen by any passing vessel. A heavy gale blew last night, and being an unseaworthy craft it is supposed the Buckeye went down with all on board. A light was seen by some Edmunds 'longshoremen at 8 o'clock, last night, during the storm, which is supposed to have been that of the Buckeye. It suddenly disappeared and was seen no more. To-day large quantities of vegetables were washed ashore at Edmunds by the tide. . Knveloped in a Fog. New York, March 9. This afternoon fog hastened the twilight in this city. Along both the fast and west-side waterways foghorns were bellowing constantly, while steam-whistles of river craft and the clang of ferry-house bells sounded across the city. A drifting fall of light rain completed the requisites for a dismal night.

It has been proven, and not one-half of the truth has been told by the testimonials which havo been published broadcast of tho the good that they have done. There are at these parlors hundreds of testimonials that have never been printed. They have effected cures that are daily being told to sufierers, and hundreds of them aro profiting by the good done their friends. They only use Herbs like our good old grandmas used years ago when they prepared their Mullein, Burdock, Poke Root and other of nature's remedies. No two persons are constitued alike, and the same medicines even in the same case would not have tho same effect. The remedies are prepared to suit only the case for which they are given. These remedies have cured hundreds, and have never failed when they have been taken in accordance with the Doctor's instructions and have been carefully taken to tho end of the course. No two persons should take the same medicines. More harm has been dono by that than can ever be told. The spring comes and with it a number of diseases that could bo prevented if people would listen. They have abused nature and when she demands assistance they go along not heeding her, and they find themselves loser in tho end Call or address, QUIST "WA.
