Judge Matthews, who.in connection withJudge Taft, appeared in the case for the plaiutiUs, read the will, a publication of which in full was made at the time It wai probated.

It ROW NX teitlflivl th.t h. laboring under an affection of the lungs, a disease which disables him from work. His father wa aware of hi condition during his lifotlme, but had never done any thing for him. His rattier had claim! h.v est In hi mother' estate, but he denied It In who inn matter he testified that his lather made an arrangement for bun to go In business with hi (the witness') brother-in-law, the arrangement being unknown to him. He was to have given the witnesstl.MO, but he failed to do it Shortly after starting him in business uis lamer came to him, and after telling him that reverse In the buMness would risk his interest in his mother's estate urged him to make adoed to him (bis father) iu trust.

The wltuess objected to this proposition for a long time. Through the Influence of tho partner of the witness the proposition was finally accepted. After the witness announced his Intention to accept the proposition his father came into the store lu a hurried manner and got him to sign the deed. Instead ot being a deed of trust it turned out to be a quit claim deed of all the intereet the itness had In hia mother'a estate. The witness never received a rent for the land.

His father promised, time and again, to give him the deed back. Man. CVRTI8 teatiMed that bor lather' conduct to his firKt wife's children after thuir mother's death wa extremely severe and harsh at all times. It was not so with the children of the second marriage. The elder children ere made to feel that they had no right to be at home, bhe bad never felt that she had a father.

Hu had repeatedly en. lea voted to obtain from her a transfer of her iutcrt-st in her mother's estate, threatening to cut her off with nothing If .11.1 He offered her for It He represented to uer, aiier many questions on her part as to the value of her Intercut In the estate, that it was worth a year. The oulv money ever advanced her by her father was 1U. The witness also testified that on the orcaxion of her marriage to Mr. Curtis, who is now doad, her father became very angry because he wa not allowed to perform the marriage ceremony.

Two uajs ueiore ner marriage no uecame very angry with her because she aked him for a trunk, lie told her she did not need a trunk; that she could put her clothing iu the bureau drawers. Tho conversation contiuuing, her father sprang up and replied to her in the most Insulting manner, and struck her two or three times. She further testified that her onlr income was the l-'4ll irlYen her by her son-in-law, aud that her father kuew of uer connmon. The It xv. Dr.

Montfobt was also examined. He testified that he had been acquainted ith the deceased since the union of the Old and New School Presbyterian Churches. The deceased then called on him and stated something about a university. He talked about it in a very indefinite way, except that he proposed to give a large sum for the fouiullug of the university, ami that he wanted to have him appointed trustee in the dace of a party who had removed from the cirv. ie called very frequently on the subject His stereotyped phrnte when he called ou huu was that he "he had the rheumatism this moruinir: he would see me again aud talk more fully ou the subject." This wits the manner in which almost every Interview concluded, aud so the Diictor never could discover what precisely hp had In view.

On one occasion he said he had deposited lu bank, aud he wouio call when he felt belter to talk wilh on the subject The Doctor piooed to visit the deceased at his house, but he declined it So in. definite was bis plun, and Incoherent hissieech, mat ine J'octor expreHsen tne opinion to nr. Abraham that he did not believe the deceased was capable of making a will. The Doctor once a-ked hnn if the uiatu.r was understood by his children. He said they un.lurstood and were sat isfied with it: that thev were all in irood rircum stances and well provided for.

He made the impression on the Doctor that he had nothing well digested, but that ba was anxious to make a display in repaid to what he wa about to do. It seemed simply a pier of vanity. He laid more stress upon tho fact that the University was to be Browne I nivsrsity than on any special value of the Institution a place of learning. Ihe Doctor then stated the provision made by the heirs, by which a certain part of the real estate was transferred to himself and Judge Taft, at above mentioned, in the event of the will being set aside. So far as the heirs were concerned, it was a perrectly voluntary matter on their part.

Thc Hot. I. J. A Li en testified that he was the lawyer ot the deceased roni IrtM until l6t. Ho had made three wills and two codicils lor him One of these as drawn since the witnoss' return from abroad, about a year ud a half ago.

The idea ol a University was presented since hi return, it first took the form of a school for the benefit of poor cblldien bofore the wttnens awav. After his return it hJ grown to a ni versltv. 1 be docoased had made wills before he became the witness' client It teemed to be a very prominent idea of his mind to eetablish an order ot things by making wills. I'e was all the time talking about making and altering bis wills. Thev were all very voluminous.

It was exceedingly dilhcult to diaw a will for hi in on account of his Incoherenry. 11 of ten forgot what property be had outside of the city, and would frequently wander off the subject in hand, and talk about pioneer life. He would frequently loiget things that transpiied during tbe day or hour, but yet remember what occurred in his earlier days distinctly. In ltfil. the witness became satisfied that the deceased wa not of a sound aud dis-nwinir memory.

Ibis was about six mouths after this will was drawn. Feeling that there was Iknirurc! Ooiug a great wrong, tnestitnesaeu leitored to dissuade him, to. lint him thacir- cumstaures ol bis hildren were not affluent; but Ire replied that they were all aiiuuuantly care for. i he deoeased waxing warm on the subject the witness Dually dropped it D. It.

SLCi Tr, who had known the family for about thirty years, ami nail frequently visite'l them at Belleview, lealiUed that thedeceaaed wai pretty penurious aud abusive, lu tbe fall of InTD me witness nai a conversation wnn tneieciaei in ref. renoe to the ilispoaition of the estate. The de. eased thought the children had ample means. As to i'earson, who hail a family of ume children, be considered hnu an extravagant dog, because hesjieiit on them from to SLOW ear.

He said he hod fixed his money so they could not spend it; that he would invest their lortuuci in lexas, where they never could get them. The witne-t wa satisiied that the deceased wa not competeut to make proper disposition of bis propel ty. J. C. lit l.r testified that he bad done some law busiuest for the itereaed since lxii.

His titl-mour as to the makiug of will wa that of Mr. Allen's over again, 'ihe old gentleman was in the habit of going to the office of the witness aud carrying off his aiternoon paper. y. a he a subscriber? A. So, sir.

y. He got it h. ai, theL? A. Vea, sir. y.

Was it characteristic of him to get things rheBji? A. 1 dou't think he was in the haoit of paying for any thing that be could get without pay. y. Did he ever pay you any thing for your service? A. No, sir.

I performed services for him from lof3 until 1464, and during that time 1 never got a dollar from him, with the exception of t-'Oi lor which I gave my note. A number of other witnesses were examined, among ttiein Mr. Hunt, the son-in-law of the deceased. He Untitled that two days before the deceased died he requested bun to bring his paper to hi bed. The wilnes did so.

'Ihe deceased assorted them, ana then handed the witness a package containing more than twenty wills, and aked him to burn ihein. He did tbe package filling the grabs or the stove, it wa so large. luie lying on hi death bed the deceased seemed to realise, lor the first time in bis life, that his children loved him. He, at that time, did not seem to be sat fled with the will, but wa so far gone as not to be able to talk except with great dimculty. The Jury, after remaining out about fifteen minute, returned a verdict setting ths will aside.

About half-past three o'clock yesterday after noon the switching-engine, tho "Bull of the Woods," on the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad, going west with several freight cars, col lided with the Loveland accommodation coming west, bolow Carr street Tbe engine were badly smashed up, and the switch-engine thrown off the track. The passengers on the Loveland train were pretty badly frightened, especially the ladle. Only one person was hurt, a little girl, wbo wa thrown off her scat against the seat in front of her, slightly bruiting her face. The accident is clearly traceable to the engineer of the switching train, who should bave loft the track clear at that time, knowing that a train was due coming west The consequences might hare been fearful had both trains been going in opposite direction, but the engineer of the switch locomotive said that he wa backing hu train at the time.
