Probate Court-Judge Robertson.

The suit against Arthur Wright as admin istrstor was to have been continued before Judge Robertson on Saturday. Ewin Rowe, broker of New York, was expected to testify about $1 400 which Arthur Phelps paid him, but he didn't come. Mrs. Hinton claims that this was not bona ide bill. but part of the scheme of MT. Phelps to freeze her out of her share of the estate. The administrator says that this was for speculation losses of Colonel Wright, and when Broker Rowe brought suit he settled the matter in the cheapest way. The hearing has been post poned until April 21. The objector will now take the deposition of Mrs. Colenel Wright who has been too unwsll to ge to court, Deputy Sheriff Spiegel has been to her re- sidence on York street four times to sub poena her, but her son would not allow him in. Uncle Bethuel Phelps has suit against Administrator Wright for $10,000, and now the administrator has begun two suits against his uncle in New York city. The suits were brought, one in the name of A. B. Wright, administrator, and the other, which is identi- cal, in the name of the heirs of Col. D. R. Wright. They demand an accounting from Bethuel Phelps for the rents and proceeds of the residence on Seventy ninth street, New York, owned in whole or part with him by Colonel Wright. This property is brown stone front house in fashionable portion of of the city, worth about $25, ,000, which came in his possession while specu1ating together The house has been sold and Arthur Wright wants an accounting of the money received for it.

A SPECIAL from Washington says:
Leaving out of account the one dis
trict in Tennessee over which the
state canvassing board is disputing,
and giving each party two representa-
tives from West Virginia, as appears
to be the case, the Republicans will
have 166 members of the next house
of representatives and the Democrats
l5S. Giving the Democrats the Ten
nessee district, which, according to
the returns is not theirs, and three
out of the four districts in West Vir-
ginia, which they claim, the Republi-
cans will still have majority of five
votes. Certificates have been issued
in all the doubtful districts except
those named in West Virginia and
Tennessee. Gov. Taylor, of Tennes-
see, seems determined TO issue the
certificate to the Republican candi-
date in order, it is said, to make
friends with that party. He is a can
didate for the senate against Isham
G. Harris, and is a protectionist.
He expects to receive the support of
the Republicans in the legislature,
which he cannot hope for if he does
not give certificate of election to
Evans, Republican, who claims it by
over 800 majority.
