OF UNsOUND MIND.
Court Decides Mrs. Harmon Has
Senile Dementia.
MORE LITIGATION TO FOLLOW.
A Kidnapped Sailor Libels . Vessel
Twenty Thousand Dollars.

Judge LichtenbuIg decided last night that
Mrs. Jane Harmon was q person Of unsound
mind, and appointed z. C. NcClanahan, the
husband of her dead daughter, as the guardian
of her person aud estate. The evidence in the
case was finished on the preceding night, and
upon the opening of court at 7:3o o'clock the
argument was begun. E. F. Blaine appeared
for McCianahan, the petitioner, and Win II.
Thompson for the contestant, Mrs. Caroline
Smith, who claims to be Mrs. Harmon's niece.
The arguments of both were spirited, and at
times grew somewhat heated. At one time
there threatened to be an actual outbreak In
his speech Mr.. Thompson said that Mr. Blaine
had propounded Mrs. Harmon pulling quss-
ton in order to mix her mp.
"Do you mean to say that asked Mrs. Har.
mon that question: interrupted Mr. Blaine.
81 mean to ssy," thuudered the speaker, "that
you put that question to her twice."
"Then what you say is false" cried Mr.
Blaine, rising 70 his feet in threatening man
ner
Lfchtenberg, with q vigorous pounding of his
gayel. ''This must stop. Mr.. Blaine, con-
slider IT your duty to make an apology for your
language"
Stepping close up in front of the court the re-
buked attorney said that he did apologize for
his words, but that the statement that he had
asked Mrs. Harmon the question was incorrect
stance.
Itrequired but few minutes for the trouble
TO blow over, and at the conclusion of the trial
the two attorneys were apparently on good
terms
In giving his decision Judge Hchtenberg said
that there was bus one question to pass upon
and that was whether or not there should be .
guardian appointed for Jane Harmon AZ prayed
for in the petition. The validity OF the will to
AcCianahan and the deed to Mrs. Smith had
nothing to do with the present suit He then
reviewed the authorities on the subject, stating
that there was decided difference between the
old and the recent ones. Under the old only
such persons were non compos mentis as are COM
monty called insane. Under the recent author
tiles not only 10 this class included, but imbe-
Giles or weak-minded persons. In this case
Ars Harmon was suffering from progressive
senile Dement'S, condition due to old age. He
considered her incapable of transacting any Of
the ordinary affairs of business E. G. AcClan-
ahan, the son-in-law OF Mrs. Harmon, was APP
pointed guardian, upon condition Of his fur
nishng bond in the sum of $4,000.
But one point in the dispute about Mrs. Har-
mons property has been settled, and other 1iti-
CATION il sure to follow to set aside the will
made some time ago by the old lady to McClana-
han, and the deed OF November to Mrs. Smith.

An Excentional Sunday.

1t was dry Sunday yesterday, both
theoretically and practically. 1t was the
first quiet Sunday in a long while, and
it is probable that good deal of shoe
leather was worn out in the effort to
connect with the ardent. People could
be seen in little groups darting in
through alleys and side doorways here
and there with the hopes of finding the
elephant" on tap, and almost
Immediately returning with
look of chagrin on their
faces.
The doors were barred. The saloons
generally about town observed the or
ders of Chief Delbrugge, and reports
from various parts of the city show that
but little of the "wet commodity" was
sold. There was one exception to the
rule, so far as reports reach us, and that
was in the case of a Second ward saloon.
The proprietor managed to keep the
barrel running in spite OF the Chiefs
edict, and who, it is reported, sold
eleven kegs of beer in little over two
hours. 1t is only fair to those who
honestly close, for the officers to see
that the law is enforced TO the letter,
and while we do not presume that any
partality exists in this matter, still
more careful surveillance Is needed.
The situation in the city yesterday.
however, was an encouraging sign OF
the times.

An Invitation Extended.

Some time ago Judge R. H. Cochran,
who thoroughly appreciates the advan-
tages which would accrue from the
adoption of the manual training idea as
an auxiliary to our present educational
system, wrote letter to the manage
ment of the Toledo Manual Training
School, asking that an invitation be ex-
tended to committee of The Wheeling
Board of Education to visit the school,
and favorable reply was received at
once. Judge Cochran then addressed a
letter to the management of the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie Railroad Company,
and in reply received assurances that
the courtesy OF the Company would be
extended to a committee of five from
the Board of Education in the event
that they desired to visit Toledo. Both
these invitations will be laid before the
Board at its meeting this evening.

Taken Into Partnership.

Within the last day or two quite
a change has taken place in the ousl-

both he and his wife desired to locate
here among their former friends, the
above change was made. In such able
hands the business cannot fail to pros
