BOARDMAN'S WILL. An Invalid Legacy and Appointment probate. TWO INDIAN MEDALS. Frank P. Root Adds to His Collection of Curios.

of Executor. The will of Emeline T. Boardman of this city was filed for probate yesterday. She leaves a specific legacy of $1,000 to Cornelia E. Gabriel and divides the balance of her estate between Hollis C.

Boardman, KateS. Boardman, Robbie H. Boardman, Hattie E. Gabriel, Nellie Gabriel and John H. Gabriel.

The will is dated April 28, 1883, and is witnessed by H. W. Conklin, M. 0. Wells and Harry S.

Conklin. Subsequently to executing the will Mrs. Boardman made two changes, in one of which she wrote on a piece of paper "Carrie G. Jones 8400" and the other "Cornelia E. Gabriel, Binghamton, N.

executor, and pasted them on the will over the other names. The legacy to Carrie G. Jones and the appointment of Cornelia E. Gabriel as executrix are invalid, and whatever is written underneath those pieces of paper will be recognized when the will is admitted to Frank P. Root, a traveling man and a brother of Dr.

Joseph E. Root of this city, is an enthusiastic collector of Indian relics. He got hold of two very rare ones last week at an auction sale in New York. They are two of the silver medals made by the government for presentation to the Indian chiefs who visited Washington at different times to see the Great Father. The sale at which Mr.

Root obtained these rare and valuable medals was of the collection of Indian curios owned by Genoral Ely S. Parker, who was on General Grant's staff and afterwards Indian commissioner. There were eleven different medals in the collection. One of the two which Mr. Root secured is about nine inches in circumference.

It bears the head of President Lincoln and the date on one side. On the other is an Indian in the act of scalping his enemy, another Indian caltivating the soil, and below an Indian head, with a quiver arrows on one side and a bow and pipe of peace on the other. The other medal is smaller, measuring about six inches in diameter. On one side is the head of President Van Buren and the date 1837. On the reverse are the words and Friendship," a crossed tomahawk and pipe of peace, and clasped hands, one of them evidently intended for the hand of an Indian.

These medals are hard to find now, are eagerly picked up by Joseph Flannigan, well known a few years ago as a person of some property and from: a respectable family, was charged with vagrancy in the police court yesterday morning.

The men worked in a rowboat, and it was hard work to keep the boat steady. At one time the man driving the bolts bared his arm and stuck it under the icy water to feel of the submerged plates.
