Much but been printed ia the newspa
pers recently about an alleged intention of
tbe heirs of Samuel J. Tildeo to contest bis
will. If the heirs have any wooh intention
they have nut shown it aa -yet. No
notice of contest has been served
on the three trustees—Andrew II.
Green, Xahn Bigelow and George
W. Smith—or on their attorneys, 'latter A
Ledyard. The delay in the probate has
been occasioned partly by Mrs. Whittlesey,
a nieoe w ho lives in Florence, Wie.., -and by
the scruples of her representative, a Mr.
Brewster, of -Hartford, Conn. The probate
of the will was tir-1 set for September 1.
Citations were served on all the heirs ex-
oeptmg Mrs. Whittbsey, and it was believ
ed that ahe would have some representative
present, and that there would be no delay.
She failed to appoint one in time and itwo
adjournments were necessary, one to Bep
tember 8tU and the other to tbe 15th.
On the latter date it was found that die
had telegraphed Mr. Brewster to Appear far
her, but he wsa unwilling to do so on that
authority alone. So that there waa anotlua:
adjournment to the 22J, and it may he that
he w ill have received written authority at
that time. None of tbe heirs appeared at
the hearings in person, hut that is not
necessary, as they reside in the State. They
certainly gave no sign of any intention to
contest, and if Mre. Whittlesey had been
ready the will would have been probated by
this time.
A gentleman who is thoroughly familiar
with all the phases of tbe Tildeo matter said
yesterday:
“The reading of Mr. Tilden's will created
bitter disappointment among several ot the
heirs, who iiad based great expectations on
what they were to receive. It had been a
disputed point for months back as to
whether Greystone would be given
Samuel J. Tilden, Jr., or to Miss ltuby and
Miss Susan Tildeo. Uunior grow quite
positive after Mr. Tilden's death, and it
seemed generally nuderatood that the girls
would get Ureyatone and that Samuel, Jr.,
would he recompenoed for bis loss by a
large gift of money. The will shattered all
these hopes. Instead of great wealth they
found themselves possessed of only a mod
est competency.
‘•The heirs could not say much about
their disappointment in the house, as the
trustees were there, but when they got out
side they did not hesitate to show how an
gry they felt. From their expressions of
dtiaatistaotion arose the rnmorsof a contest.
It is safe to say that there never has been
any intention of contesting the will among
the heirs. They would lose the little they
got if they tried that. It has been argued
that they could not lose what they have if
they tried to recover what they believed
thorns Ives entitled to. A delicate point ot
law is evolved there. If Mr. Tilden had
simply said tout they should lose their
share if they contested—his provision
wonld have been of no avail and
they could have contested in
safety. He says, however, that if they con
test a different disposition of his money
must be made, and the share which waa to
go them ia to go to certain other mentioned
persons. That alters matters entirely, and
tuny cannot avoid loaing everything if thy
make a fight,
The original, will was in tho handwriting
of George W. Smith. The draft was
drawn up by Andrew II. Green, aided by
Hr. Bigelow. Subsequently it passed to
Mr, Janus C. Carter, who revised it an*
(luieiiotended Us execution,
claim on the Samuel Tilden estate they
have a year in which to prove it So far as
tbe-ereditors are concerned, the will will go
to probate in spito of all of them.'’
After its iucohe r ent talk about a contest
by the creditors, tbe periodical above re
ferred to charges Mr. Andrew 31. Green
with having deliberately prevented Mr. J.
C. Carter from attending Mr. Tilden for
the purpose of altering the will and substi
tutin'' the Dime of Mr. J. Edward Simmons
for that of Mr. Green.
“That Btory ia uutrue," said Mr. Miller.
Mr. Bangs, I believe, drew the will, the
first draft of it having been made by Mr.
Tilden, Mu Green and Mr. Bigelow. A few
months before Mr. Tild n’s death Mr. Car
ter spent two days at Greystone looking
over the will. As to tbe nonsense about
Mr. Tilden’s nieces being driven away from
Greystone as intruders, I bav® only to say
that, if it is true that Greys tone costs $200
a day o keep it up, I,should think the ex
ecutors acted wisely ia requesting them to
leave tbe place. The nephew and nieces
are not each paupers as some papers ius.st
they are.
"I do uqt expect any contest. There is
doubtless a soreness in certain quarters over
the will, bait I think it will show itself in
only harmless ways. If children were in
the case, there might bo some chance in
contesting the will, men in face of the pro
vision cutting off any heir who should try
to break it; but nephews und nieces have no
real claims to base a contest on.”
Mr. Miller said he hoped the attorney
whom Mrs. Whittlesey had retained by tele
graph would appear ou the day to which
the probate stands adjourned, but added
that be thought there waa little hope or
chance of iheinatruuieut being admitted be
fore October 20.

BISHOP VERSUS PRIEST.
A Startling Dluenriim In Church Circles
Over the Irish fjnirtlaii.
Dbtboit, Mien., September 17.—If tho
Rev. Dr. Reilly does not resign the tress-
iircrship of tbo Irish National League by
to-morrow night the probability is that he
will be summoned by bis bishop, the Right
Rev. Caspar H. Burgees, to txplain why be
refuses to comply with his order, promul
gated at the Sandwich Synod last month,
requiring any priest holding a political of
fice, or an office in any association or so
ciety which has political objects or aims, to
lay down such position within one month
from the dato of tbo order. The time ie up
to-morrow night. Exactly what Dr. Reilly
proposes to do is not obtainablo from him,
tor he refuses positively to be interviewed.
From a reliable source, how
ever, the Herald correspondent
learn to-night that Dr. Reilly will not re
sign as treasurer of the league, and tlat if
an issue ts thereby formed between himself
and his bishop lie will fight the mst'er to
the end in the ecclesiastical courts. Those
knowing Dr. Reilly's character believe that
if a fight comes off it will throw into the
shade any previous contest in this diocese
which bus become noted for its church dis
sensions. It is well understood here that
the order of tho Bishop was aimed at Dr.
Reilly, and that ho knows it was. The
relations between Dr. Reilly and Bishop
II irgess were never cordial, and for some
time had been reported strained. As
tbe Bishop's order docs nut name any
priest, Dr. Beilly will choose to assume
that it uoes not refer to him and will ig
nore it There is no doubt that tbo lengne
treasurership falls within tlio offices banned
by the Bishop, tint Dr. Iieilty, it is reported,
will leave that fact for tbe Bishop to de
clare, The Bishop's probable action npon
learning Dr. Reilly's refusal or neglect to
resign will be to suspend him from the
pastorate of St. Patrick's church in this
city. J)r. Reilly will then appeal to the
Pope. There is reason to believe that Dr.
U'-ltly feels aonfiilentof winning in case the
bishop rules that the Land Leaguo is a po-
““#al institution, and that no priest can bold

set of men, and they cannot bend

never smile, and there is nuthiug flippant
about them. When they say they will do a
thing, the event has to be punctually on
band at the appointed time or something
will break. They have said that they are
going to make it very cold for tbe Itipubli-
eau candidates in this quarter at the fall
eleotion, and the party is greatly worried.
They have nominated their ticket and will
cast a largo vote for it, the prohibition prin

part of the State since tbo Blaino campaign,

Dr. John A. Rockwell, of this town, is
their nominee for Congress, but the way in
which tho nomination fell to his lot is the
Connecticut prohibitionist really langh
since he began to carry a sober face and
vote with fell animosity against the party
that freed the slaves. In selecting a candi
date the Prohibitionists,inspired by a desire
to hurt the Republicans as much as possible,
wanted the air ingest man in the two coun
ties, and by an emit in judgment or infor
mation that is grimly humorous, they
litched on David A. Wells, the head-
jilt of American free trade, and wrote
him n characteristic grim, stiff, crack-
y letter, asking him to conBont to be

amazed; bnt directly he answered the cold
water invitation in a suave and thankful
note, in wbich he defined himself as an ad

cause, with an inclination toward high
license for revenue only. He respectfully
but firmly declined the Domination. There

latter were much disappointed, and after

mainly because the nephews hsd assnmei
obligations which they would not have aa
gamed bad their nncle not agreed to pro
tect them. However, after deliberation,
they rather felt like abandoning any thought
ot contesting, hoping that by putting their
shoulders to tbo wheel they would get out
of their difficulties.
They learned, however, that their credi
tors did not like the turn things hsd taken,
and since then the creditors have been urg
ing a contest of some kind. “Thns," said
Mayor Hinckley, “the young men were
placed between two fires. Negotiations hsd
been iu progress for a settlement agreeable
to all, but the action of Mr. Green in ex
pelling the yonng ladies from Greystone
acted against any farther negotiations, and
now if there hse ever been any doubt of a
contest, that donbt is dispelled.”

periodical yesterday that creditors of Henry

story was shown to him.
“It's all nonsense," ha said. “Only the
heirs at law esn contest a will. This story
contradicts itself in talking about creditors

probated before they do contest. Creditors

local influences have been arrayed against
Dr. Reilly in this mutter. It him been
stated on tbe streets that he would be forced
to resign from the church. The Bishop'i

this influence, but just how much tlie
Bishop was intlueuced, if nt all, can only

rendered letters of introduction superfions.
