In the Orphans Court of Carroll County.

B. Wisner, VS.. Martha +. Sharrer and
William John Meyls.
The petition and caveat of Lewis 0. Meyls,
John II. Wisner and l.ayinia b. Wisner seeks
to prevent the admission TO probate Of GER
tain paper writing purporting to be the last
will and testament Of j. Adam Meyls, late of
Carroll county, in the State Of Maryland,
deceased, on the ground that the same was
not executed with the forms and s0lemnities
required by law; that said j. Adam Meyls was
not. at the time of executing said paper
writing, of sound and disposing mind, and
capable of executing a valid deed or contract;
and further, that he, the said Adam, was
subjected to such degree Of importantly and
undue influence as deprived him of his free
agency, and which he was too weak TO resist,
and that said paper writing was not his free
and unrestrained act; that the same was pro
cured to be executed by the importantly and
undue influence of Martha Elizabeth Sharrer
and OF other persons; that said paper writing
contains errors of facts in stating that Lewis
o. Meyls and William John Meyls had re-
ceved their respective shares of said dece-
dents estate prior to the execution Of said
paper writing; and the petitioners pray that
said paper writing may not be admitted to
probate as aud for the last will and testament
of said }. Adam Meyls; and that the same
may be rejected; and that citations issue to
the said Martha +. Sharrer and William John
Meyls requiring them and each of them to
appear and answer said petition and eaveat,
and also praying for an order of publication
against the said William John Meyls, who is
! non. resident Of the State of Maryland.

WEsrMlxsrEe, Mn, April 10, lS9O.-Mr.
Jos. b. Boyle-Dear Sir: For many years |
have suffered intensely 90 taking cold, from
q very troublesome cough, for which have
used a number of various remedies, apd OBJ
tanned but temporary relief. During the past
spring was again troubled with the same
cough, and through friend was induced to
try your Pectoral Syrup, which not only gave
almost instant relief, but permanent cure.
1t gives me great pleasure TO say that believe
Il TO be the best remedy | ever used for the
purpose for which it is recommended. Hoping
that any person afflicted AS ! was may be
fortunate enough to give it trial, am, truly

him to drop them into Il net, which
he did. Two of them were caught
uninJured, but he dropped them
too fast and the third one was badly
hurt, Goldstein then jumped and was
caught uninjured. The fire is believed
to be incendiary. 1t broke out at 3:l5

telegram tho proposition made to him
by the board of phosphate commission
erS of this State. In Il letter received
by the commission to-day and read be.
fore the commission, the line of thought
OF the telegram is enlarged upon The
proposition that the Hon. A. II. Smythe
be heard before the commission was ac-
ceeded to, and Mr.. Smythe appeared to-
day and presented his views the board
hearing him with great attention. Mr.
III. a. NJ. Smith also came before the
board, after which al adjournment was
had until the afternoon. At this latter
session the following resolutions was
passed.
Resolved, That Governor Tillman, as
chairman of the board, be requested to
write aTeply to the communication Of
Mr.. Adgcr this day received.
"The board also requested the AttOr-
ney General of the State and his aSSoci-
ate counsel, Mr.. George $. Mower, to
take such steps as to the case now pend
ing III the United States Court as will
South Carolina. The board then ad-
jurneu."
Governor Tillman said tonight that
he would not write the reply of the COM
mission to the COOSaw Company until
tomorrow. In the light of the occur
rcnceS Of to-day, however, it does not
require much ratiocinatlon to infer that
1T will be Il letter of rejection of the
Overturcs of the Coosaw Company. In
fact, it was understood, from Senator
Smythe before he left hero this after
noon that the proposition had been non
concurred in. 1t was learned also that
MIR. III. n. Nj. Smith, who, he said repre-
Sents one of licensees, appeared before
ice 1,Jc
that Mr.. Smythe did not so appear.
Mr.. brotherhood, ofthe Carolina Com
pany, which has license to dig in Coosaw
territory, was asked what he proposed
TO do. lie said that he proposed to obey
the law, and for the present would not
go up on the waters Of Coosaw.
From stray remarks made tonight it
is learned that the attorneys for the
State do not and will not admit the jur-
lsdlctlon of tho United States in the
premises; so there's another brand new
howdydo. Attorney General Pope can
not be interviewed on the question as to
how he will act, as per instruction of
the phosphate commission. The curious
can now go ahead and guess whether
the commission will take the bull by the
horns or the fish by the tail

which was begun at the morning ses-
