Governor Bate is the only Governor
in tho United States who appointed
Commissioners for each county In the

such appointments would attach 10
each county personal interest IN the

County Commissioners are already on
the ground, aud 6ityor or seventy Eve

BosToN, October Ian interesting
case il on trial in the Supreme Court

is involved. The case involves the
integrity Of Warren X. Blodgett,
whose social standing in Boston is ex-
celled by none. The contestants are
the heirssat-law Of Mrs. Abigail w.
Armstrong, who claim that Mr.. Blod-
gett exercised an undue influence over
her, and induced her to make an
arrangement which largely benefited
Mr.. Blodgett, to the exclusion of those
rightfully entitled to receive her prop
erty. The amount which the heirs
seek to recover is nearly 500 900.
This includes 100000 paid to Mr.,
Blodgett for the management of Mrs
Armstrong; estate, and 100000 in
United States bonds and other securi-
ties, which it is alleged she gave him
while in an unsound condition Of

the affairs Of the old lady. Of charging
her ten per cent commission ana then

When Mrs. Armstrong died she left
about 100000 for her heirs, while
