New York, 1895
The will of Richard Dudgeon, of Oyster Bay, was filed on Monday for probate in the surrogate's office. The testator bequeaths Eriphemia Stansbury of Danville, Ill., $2,000; his brother William, $2,000; Wemys Dudgeon, $2,000; his sister, Margaret Dudgeon, $5,000 (upon her death to be divided equally among his children). To his friend, John F. Dettman, he gives $5,000, and the rest of his property he divides equally between his sons, Richard, Frank and William, and his daughter Jessie F. Van Name.
Surrogate Weller yesterday denied the motion to have an accounting in the estate of Eliza Gray, on the ground that the executor could not now account, the estate of the testator's husband having not yet been settled, and it would not be safe for him to make an accounting and pay over any money until he knew the liabilities of the husband's estate.
Testimony was taken in the contested will case of Mary Ann Pettit, of Westbury.
To-day's calendar — Will case of Elbert Hegeman; real estate proceedings of Alexander H. Collison; accounting estate of Alexander H. Collison.

Mary Wiley Will Get Damages
New York, 1895
Testimony was taken Monday morning in the circuit court before Justice Kellog and a jury as to the extent of the damages sustained by Mary Wiley, a 12-year-old child, in a railroad accident at Jamaica some years ago. The girl's legs were cut off by a train belonging to the Long Island railroad company. She began suit through her father, John Wiley, as guardian ad litem to recover $50,000. The case was brought to trial before Justice Brown at circuit and the plaintiff was non-suited. The general term reversed this decision and sent the case back for a new trial. Instead of going throuh a long trial, Lawyer Beecher, for the defendant, stipulated for judgment absolute if the Court of Appeals should uphold the general term and took the case up. The Court of Appeals did uphold the general term and the case was sent back to circuit for the assessment of damages.
The jury awarded $12,000 damages.
