JUNE 1, 1900 Page 6 MAURER'S APPEAL DROPPED. Widow Will Receive the Entire Estate According to Terms of Will. It has been decided to discontinue the appeal in the contest over the will of the late Edward W. MAURER. This will result in the entire estate of $65,000 going to the widow, Louise Proctor MAURER. When Mr. Maurer died and application was made for the admission of his will to probate it was discovered that he had made a second will. In each will the entire estate was left to the widow, but the second and later will was made just previous to a trip to Europe made by the testator. This will also provided for the inheriting by the testator's widow of the entire estate, should she survive him, and in case of her death at the same time as the testator's mother, or should she be dead to his mother. This second will contained a clause revoking the first will, and the contention was made that Mr. MAURER died intestate. Objections to the admission of the first will were made by several relatives and Surrogate BENTON finally handed down a decision admitting the first will to probate, holding that the intent of the testator to give the entire estate to his wife was taken from the decision, and it is this appeal that has been dropped.

The explosion was heard and felt as far up Lake avenue as Rose street, a mile from the Kodak works. Persons who live in that vicinity and were at dinner at the time reported it on the streets on their return to the city. Ambulances were called from the Homeopathic and City Hospitals and word was sent to the morgue for the attendants there, the dead wagon and a coroner. All attempts to learn anything about the explosion, its cause or effects by telephone were fruitless employees of the plant who answered the phone refusing to give any information whatever. Reporters were told to wait until the superintendent of the works was at liberty. They said he was the only one authorized to give out information concerning accidents at the works. Reporters of The Union were dispatched to the scene of the explosion as soon as the fact became known in the city. When the reporters arrived, Dr. Edmund C. BODDY of No. 418 Lake avenue, was attending the injured men. Coroner SIBLEY was also present. The building in which the explosion occurred is located at the north end of the company's land, about on a line with the main office. It was two stories high and was partitioned off into small rooms by light wooden walls. When the explosion occurred a number of men were all knocked down and the wooden partitions were destroyed. Considerable valuable machinery was damaged. Neither of the injured men will die. They were taken to their homes after being attended by Dr. BODDY. EMMALISSA ANDREWS' ESTATE.
