RumOred Compromise in the Bernis viii

There is a rumor in legal circles that COM
promise is likely to take place in the celebra-
ted Bemis will case, which is set down for tri-
al July q at an adj0nrnsd torm OF the Su-
preme Court of Carroll county at Ossipee, NH.
AS will be remembered DIR. Bemis,an eccentric
and wealthy man, without a family, died at
Harris Location. La early life he was a dem
fist in Boston, but as report has it, being dis
appointed in a love affair, he removed TO Harris
Location, where by good investments in timber
lands and in other ways he achieved financial
success. Soon after his death will was found
which gave the largest part Of his property to
George Fl. Morey, who, with his family, had
lived long time with Dr. Bemis, faithfully
caring for him and his landed estate. In the
meantime an earlier will is produced, in which
the testator gave large sum OF money to Z.
Fl. Sohier, lawyer of Boston, and also re-
membered with legacies several relatives. Mr..
Sohier was for many years and up to within
short time of the death Of DR.. Bemis his legal
and confidential business manager. The will
was probated, and about two years and half
ago Mr.. Sohier and Mr.. Bemis Of Boston APP
psaled from the decision of the Probate Judge
The defendants were Mr.. Morey and a Mr.. Os-
good, the executors of the will. The plaintiffs
claimed that DIR. Bemis made his last will on
ly short time before his death, when he was
in very weak physical condition, and that be
was improperly influenced by Morey aud o.
good. 1t is stated that Osgood, who drew the
will, was paid a thousand dollars for the SER
vice. No inventory of the property has yet
been made, but 1t is estimated at somewhat ov-
or hundred thousand dollars. A special a6-
ministrator has been appointed, bat he has nee
been able to get access to all the necessary pa
pers in Morey's possession. Mr.. Sohier has as
ISOLATED with himself as counsel Messrs. Cope
land and Edgerly Of Great Falls, and Mr..
Snow of Boston. The lawyers for the defence
are Hon. George A. Bingham and Edgar Al
drich of LittletoD, Hon. Ossian Ray, Hon. In.
wing W. Drew, Hon. Chester B. Jordan and
Philip Carpenter Of Lancaster and John B.
Nash of Conway. Mr.. Money is an sx-Repre-
sentative to the Legislature. II the case goes
to trial it will be contested with great ability
and be one of the famous trials OF the State.

full and most disastrous on record. Property left

post swept away was the Hutchinson estate
amounting to SIZE, 900 and the next highest that

Revolutionary Monuments De-
facad


A recent visitor to the bsttle-felds of Kings
Mountain and the Cowpens in South Carolina
reports that the monuments placed there many
years ago are ruined by relic-hunters The fac
ing of the Cowpens monument, Erected by
the Washington Light Infantry of Charleston
Ia 1856, is nearly all gone; the ground has
grown up to forest aud soon there will be moth
ing to mark the spot where one of the most inn
portant events of our Revolutionary history
took place. A monument in honor OF Nor.
gan's victory has been erected by Congress and
the State of South Carolina, assisted by other
States, at Spartsnburg, sixteen miles distant,
but this cannot identity the place where the
battle occurred. On the Kings Mountain bat
te-held there is q monument, placed there at
the time OF the centennial celebration in Octo-
Der, 1880, which is untouched by the spoilers
as yet, and is likely to be, as it is Of rough
granite at the base and of such size as to repel
the inclination to chip off keepsake pieces, but
the Ferguson Chronicle monument, erected
where Ferguson, the British commander, and
Chronicle, Boyd and other Americans killed
in battle were buried, Is so far destroyed as to
be worthless as monument. The inscriptions
on neither side can be read and the face Of one
side is nearly all of it hacked off and carried
away. Surely here is little patriotic work
for the South Carolina Historical Society or
the Washington Light Infantry, or both, TO do
in preserving for all time these two interesting
spots Of our revolutionary history. No doubt
Congress would lend helping hand, as 1t has
in so many similar Instances Baltimore Day.

the defendants store on suspicion of having stolen
customers pocket-book, Judge Forsaith, of the

defendants The searching was done at the in
stance of the floor walker of the store, and the
suit involved the question of the liability Of the
employers for the acts of their agents. The de-
lated rule of the firm, he could not be considered
as then acting in the capacity of agent. AS the
cisions, it will probably be appealed to the supreme
court to test the principles involved.
