Picnicing.

Saturday was a day for picnics.
Three parties Of our Kimgwood
folks and visitors were "outing" on
that day. The boardcrs at the
Hotel Gordon went down to Cheat
during the cool of the morning and
spent the entire day fishing, boat
ing, strolling and bathing. Land
lord Thomas is showing his summer
boarders a good time by taking
them to the many pretty resorts we
have about Kingwood. Another
party composed of Messrs. Edward
s. Elliott, j a. Jackson and Misses
Campbell and Cowan, went down
to the Cheat river falls, and report
a very enjoyable day. They were
successful in catching quite a num-
Der Of fish. The third party was
composed Of Miss Laura Dunning-
ton, and Mrs. Raymond, Of Fair
mont, Mrs. Helen p. Menear, VIM.
G. Brown, Percy Mcdonald and
Edward Heermans. They drove to
Muddy Greek Furnace after dinner,
and lunched at that picturesque
spot, returning by ten O'Clock.
This crowd also returned highly
pleased with half day or.

eRlsr FROM SUPERIOR COURT.
Continuation of the Testimony in the
Ferry VIII Case.

Continuation of the Testimony In the
Ferry VIII Case.
The contested will case of John Ferry
was resumed at yesterday afternoons
session of Of the Superior Court. John
Parker testified that he had shaved Ferry
on the 2lst of February, the Sunday
before he had died and also on the Sun
day preceding, which was before the
win was made that is in dispute. Mr..
Parker did not think Ferry was in con-
dition to make a will. or Ia fact, transact
any business Of any kind Ferry he
said could hardly talk. On the four
teenth, witness did not think that Ferry
could live four or five hours, although he
lived for several weeks afterwards.
He said that his observation of Ferry's
condition was based entirely upon what
he saw and what he said Mr.. Paker
occupied the time up until the adjourn
ment Of the court.
This Mornings Session.
Manuel Richenberger took the stand
and was examined by Mr.. Spruance. He
related how while sitting on the porch Of
hotel at Cape May the testator declared
that he had not made viii as yet Mr..
Richenberger declared that be had
already written his last testament MIR.
Ferry then said that he himself had
neglected to make his will up to the date
Of the conversation, but he avered that
he did intend TO execute a paper to dis.
pose Of his property IN which
it was his resolve to provide for his
poor old mother, and also for faithful
retainer, James Lally.
On cross examination Mr. Richenberger
estimated that Mr.. Ferry's property
about $40, 000) produced an income of
about s., cooper year. He heard the ties
tator say nothing about providing for
his wife.
Mrs. Margaret Gallagher was then
| summoned to the witness stand She
related how Mr.. Ferry, while in Florida
/ for the benefit of his health returned to
his hotel late one night. His wife ehided
him for staying out sc late, lie declared
that he had enough property Go provide
handsomely for his wife and mother after
his death, and that he thought be was at
liberty to spend the few remaining days
he had on earth as he considered most
pleasant for himself
With this witness the plaintiff closed
the testimony and the evidence in re-
butal was begun.
The first witness was Father Benjamin
Kelley, forme rly of st. Peters Church,
but now bishop of the Catholic Church
in the Savannah diocese. He was called e
visit the testator during the last two
weeks Of his sickness. His calls were
of friendly nature, for be
did not visit him TO administer
the functions of priest. he sat on tbs
bed and the sick man conversed nationally
with him. He took Father Leonard Will
him, who administered the last sacra
ment. Father Kelley said that the tes-
tator's mind was as clear during thii
visit as the witnesses was at present. HI
considered Mr.. Ferry at this June compe
tent TO make viii.
On cross-examination Mr.. Spruanc'
ELECTED no information that was calcula
ted TO shake the witnesses testimony.

what One WILMINGTON Girl Said I,
Another at New Castle.

What One Wilmington Girl Said 70 /
Another Mt New Castle.
1t was about o'clock yesterday after
noon when buggy containing two girls
could have been seen standing In front
Of the Jail at New Castle On the corners
near by stood several young men basking
themselves in the sun and gazing intently
on the dazzling beauty Of the occupants
of the buggy.
One of the girls wore tight fitting
black coat; around her neck was hand
some white fur; little hat covered part
Of her pretty curly hair, and on her nose
perched a pair of rimless eye glasses. She
was pretty and the other was not far be-
hind her in this respect. The latter was
dressed handsomely, but not so stylishly
as the former. They sat there in the
buggy conversing pleasantly with q New
Castle young man, with whom, IL is pre-
sumed, they were acquainted, and the
boys on the corner, some of them, would
have been glad to have been the horse
attached TO the buggy, to have had the
pleasure of being so near such lovliness.
Different opinions we're expressed as TO
who the beauties were. From their
phenomena some thought they were
actresses Of a refined nature, others
that they were choir singers, while
Others observed that they were ladies Of
high social standing who were just out
for drive, the day being such pretty
one. When a newspaper man remarked,
non chalantly, that he knew them and
that they were ''ehippies the crowd was
about to lynch him on the spot.
few minutes later a seeond-class
livery stable team came up Delaware
street. 1t was being driven by another
couple Of girls. These girls were ex-
tremely "chippifed" in their appearances,
and as it would sound rather unrefned
to say that one Of them was drunk, it
will suffice to use the word Of certain
young New Castle man and say that she
was 'discombobOlized On seeing the
other girls, she shouted to one of them,
Viola, we're having good time,
placing especial emphasis on good. =
Viola and her friend looked around and
laughed
The crowd then would have begged the
pardon Of the newspaper man but he,
alas, was a newspaper man. About ten
minutes later Viola and friend drove up
in front of the Gilpin House, alighted
nimbly from the buggy and ran up the
steps of the hotel. They were followed
by prominent member Of Company H
and when the newspaper man saw Their
team led toward the hotel stables he did
not wait to see how the girlies would
come out.

knew Garrett Murray and that his repu
tation for truth and yeracity was bad
Francis Rowe. a farmer living near
Willow Grove, Del, testified that in his
community Garrett Murray had the rep.
utation of being liar. George Wall

ray once worked. toll the witness that
the negro was Lying niger.
John II. Luif, a colored farm laborer.
of Woodside, Del, said that he has
known Garrett Murray for about twelve
years, and had heard that his reputation
was bad.
John A Lnff, young colored man from
Woodside, Delaware was next put on the
stand. He stated that Mnrrays reputa-
ton was bad Under cross-examlnation
by Prosecutor Jenkins the witness adj
mitted that his fare TO Camden had been
paid by Mr.. Hawkins and that he was
employed by Mr.. Anderson, the witness
who was on the stand last week. and
worked in his canning factory.
