Hoston, May , 1. Revised returns from yesterday's irc: iiiontial pref erence primary : election, which brought results up to 1,(140 out of 1,080 election precincts, gave' -.for the republicans: Roosevelt, 7,5(i4; Taft, 84,34 8 ; LaFollotte, l.'.Mit). Delegates-at-large, Raxter, heading the Roosevelt group,. 82,687 ;' Crane, heading; .'the Taft 'group, '; 74.835.1 Democrats: Clark, 3,973 ; Wilson, 14,8r9. In the districts Roosevelt gets' 10 delegates r.nd Taft 'IH. leav ing '1 doubtful. In both the republican and the democratic campaigns the candidates who won the presidential preference contest failed to secure the delegates-at-large, owing to an unforeseen turn in the primary law. With the; returns, from all but 40 precincts Taft had a margin .of nearly -.5, 4 00, t but 8 delegates-at-large, supporting tho Roosevelt candidacy were v-li.-- torlous by a pluralty of nearly 8,000. The democratic preference favorite failed to secure a single delegate-at-1 large, this, the most important fea-! t tire of the primary, being captured by the friends of Governor Foss, the "favorite son." Owing to the varied markings of the 15 candidates for delegates-at-large on the democratic ticket, the identity of the Massachusetts dele gation to the Baltimore convention may not be known for several days.

Satisfied With ('lark's Strength. Hoston, May 1.

Rockiiighaui County Will Case, in Co oil Since IHH.-., Must He Trieil Again, (he Supreme Court Grant ing New Trial in Contest Over Will of Valentine Allen CliarRe Of l iainl mid Collusion Evident, It Appeared List of Opinions. Tlie report of the referep hold ing thai Geo. W. I'Mynt, democrat, was elected sheriff of Forsyth coun ty in I Hio, was sustained by the supreme roiiii in an opinion hand ed down this afternoon. The con- teitant was 1). A. Jones, republican. and the- entire -proceeding was oven : the count of ballots in two town ships, the election being so close as to depend on the results there. Another case of unusual interest was that of Holt vs. Zigler, from Rockingham, in which a new trial was granted. It appears that the will, of Valentine Allen was filed for probate in Rockingham county In lSS.a, and that at a trial in the su perior court of the county, the jury found that this will and testament was not the last, made by the de ceased. The will provided that two- ! bird's of his landed estate, amount ing to SOU acres, Was to be divided between tlie children of his two daughters. Margaret. Zigler and El len Cariiwell, and of his son, Samuel Allen, and aWthe death of his wife the retnaininif third should go to tils son. Samuel, and his grandchildren. The evidenre shows, the opinion says, that the fathers of the chil ilren went deliberately to work to "nave the will set aside and to con sent to the decree that the will was not that of Valentine Allen. The case was "railroaded" through court on November 9, 1885, during a temporary suspension of the criminal docket, The children were not served with summons until court began. The inatter was : tried again in Rockingham county last November, the principal issue being as to whether the judgment setting aside the will was obtained by . collusion between Samuel A. Allen, J. Ham Cariiwell and S. B. Zigler for the purpose of vesting the title to the lands conveyed in the will of Valen tine Allen in their respective wives md divesting the children of the said respective wives of their inter est in said land under the provisions of said will? This issue the Jury answered -no. Wills Should Stand. The supreme court held, however. that there was evidence of collusion and that because the trial judge did not charge as to this a new trial must be granted. The court reiter ate its opinion that a man's last will and .testament is not to bo broken at pleasure. The Ooiiiioiis, The lull list Of opinions follow: 'Wicker v.
