Peculiar VIII case at Media.

The following report of case tried in the
Delaware county court last week il from the Me-
da american
TWAS feigned issue to try the validity Of the
will of Joseph Denegre, late OF Glen Mills, in
Tins county. Mr.. Denegre died in 1873, leaving
his property, which amonted to about $50, 900, to
Ills wife for life, and to his three daughters,
one son and the children of deceased daugh-
Ter, cutting Off Sebastian and Joseph, tho ro-
naming children.
In this will Martha, one Of the daughters, re-
ceives decided preference. 1t further ap.
peared that she had been considerably favored
during decedent's lifetime by the presentation
OF valuable real estate in Philadelphia. Martina
was further made one of the trustees of her Bis
terH sharesand one OF the executors of the Will,
the widow being the other.
The case stated was Mary Ann, the widow,
and Martha Denegre, against ii. and Sebastian
DeheBre, the others not being parties IN the
suit. The efforts OF the defendants were to set
aside tho will on the ground that undue iniu-
ence had been exerted on the father by Martina.
1t ID further alleged that representations calcu-
lated to prejudice the father against Sebastian
and Joseph were made to him by the daughters.
The special undue influence exerted by mar
Una was alleged to be through professional
clairvoyant and spritualist residing in Philadel-
pha, this being done by Martha visiting the
rlairvoyant, making certain statements to her,
which she was afterwards to repeat to her fath-
er, who WAS to be induced to visit her.
Witnesses testified that Martha. however, de-
MED this, al did likewise the clairvoyant who
was brought from Philadelphia to testify. She
admitted that Mr., Denegre had visited her IN
Philadelphia three times, but only once profes-
sionally, one OF the times she was not at home
but was told that he had called. She further
said that on one occasion she had stopped al
Mr. Denegre's former residence in West Phlla
delphia he coming in short time before she
went away. She said she had never been con
suited by Martha or any one else concerning the
Will. These alleged consultations appeared tt
have been some eight years before the death o
Alr. Denegre
The jury after mature deliberation sustained
the will -

Cape MAY Notes.

THE LADY OF THE LAKE TO BE PUT oN-THE SEA
GROVE DRIVE.
We understand from very good authority that
the Lady Of The Lake will be put on the Cape
May route this season. This is good news for
the Wilmington people, many of whom greatly
prefer that route to the ride by rail.
The handsome accommodations Of the Lady
Of the Lake and her superior sea-going qualities,
make her by odds the best boat that has ever
been on this route. "sea Grove" will be new
feature at Cape May this season, and we have
been informed that there will be a magnificent
drive from the steamboat landing, to the new
hotel at that place.

FAMILY DIsApPRovE AND INTERFERE.
Yesterday afternoon, the neighborhood of 11th
and Lombard SITS. was stirred up in violent
manner. Edward Hogen, a colored man, OF
character, who drives for Doctor Askew, has been
married, he says, for some time, to . white girl
named Russell, who was formerly domestic In
the Doctors family. Recently she went to live
with Hogen's folks, whose house is on Lombard
St., just above 11th, and has been staying there
for few weeks. Yesterday, her brother-ln-law,
who iyes up the Brandywine, and had learned
where she was, came to the house, and
found her upstairs. He tried to get
her to go with him, but she declined, where
upon he seized her by the arm and pulled her
down stairs and out of doors, where she got
away from him. This performance created =
rumpus. Hogan appeared on the scene about
this time, and proposed to shoot the brother
in-law, but was interfered with by police off,
Ger. This morning excitement still prevailed in
the locality.

POSSIBILITY THAT THE BROOKLYN TRIAL MAY BE
OVER, THIS WEEK.
NEW YORK, June Z.
1t Is quite possible that verdict in the
Beecher case may be reached by Friday eve
ming next Mr.. Beach is understood to say that
if Mr.. Evarts wound up by noon on Tuesday
he could say all he had to say by Thursday
noon. The Judges charge, it is safe to say,
will be brief, and may be disposed Of say by
Friday noon, and that will give the remainder
Of the day to the jury. AS the climax ap-
proaches each side appear to be equally conf
dent of a decision in its favor, but people who
are identified with neither side appear inclined
to think that the result will be non-agreoment
In the event of acquittal prominent Plymouth
Church people say they will give the great de-
in Brooklyn before.
