Connell and Corbett q Welcome appeared
for the contestants. both sides opposing
the application. James Self appeared for
the applicant. Objections in writing were
offered, the principal grounds being the
lack of interest OF the interviewer in the
estate, the contradictory and inconsistent
allegations of the application, the neglect
in delaying to make the application. The
at-law and that the deceased died
inteatate, but later on says the deceased left
will. Another objection is that no parts
of the alleged will are cited to establish his
interest in the case. Mr.. Self contended
that these objections were not proper ar
guments at this time; that the application
for Intervention was filed before the trial
of the case, as required by the states; that
the proof of the allegations set forth will
come forward after the applicant is per-
mitted to intervene, If allowed,
Judge McHatton decided the case sus-
tanning the objections offered by counsel for

Thomas Jefferson Davis the right to inter

THE DOCTOR KNEW THE TRICK.
And He Won $40 900 in Cash and Farm

And ne Won $4,000 in Cash and Farm
by It,
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Jan. 9.--Dr. Miller. of
Idaho, is the possessor of $4,000 in cash
and farm worth $1,000 or $1,000 more,
which he did not havo prior to o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He won it all from
local sports who picked him up for a
sucker. The doctor arrived here few
days ago with drove of ponies, which
he offered for sale at low prices. Among
them was an 'onery' runt of a bobtail that
nobody would bid on at all. The doctor re-
marked casually in crowd that the
pony which tho buyers rejected WAS
the boss of the lot, for he could pull a 300
pound bag of sand attached to rope half
mile long for distance of ten feet. He
added carelessly that he would bet
on it. A dozen men Immediately
$4,000 in money and 1GO acres of land in
Iowa stated that the pony could not do the
trick. The sports were SO sure that they
gave Odds and the Doctor calmly covered
every bet. The trial took place some hours
later, out on a turnpike in the presence
of q considerable crowd. The sack of
sand WAS weighed. and tie rope care
fully measured. Then the doctor, accom-
panied by one Of the judges. took the pony
to the other end of the line and hitched
him to the rope. When the word was given
he chuoked the pony under the ribs and
clucked to him. The animal moved off on
gradual pull until the rope became tant.
and dragged the bag twenty Ave feet. The
trick, and the pony had often performed it

It Whl DO Ready for Occupancy by thu
First OF November
Roanoke's handsome and substantial
new jail is nearing completion and it is
expected that it will be resdy for occu-
pancy by tho first OF November Tho
plumbing is the principal part OF the
work to be done. Tho structure costs
$4,000 and was built by the Manly
Manufacturing Company. of Dalton,
Georgia.
On the first floor will. be the police
headquarters. In the front is a com.
modious police court room and private
rooms for the use of officers. The first
floor OF the jail proper Is to be reserved
for city prisoners. In the front of the
second floor arc rooms designed for the
residence of the iailer. and tho third
floor is to be used for an tnfirmary. and
for combining Insane persons children or
others whom it may be considered ex-
pedient not to condne in cells.
There are in all three floors forty
four steel coils, and those for tho con
hnemcnt of State prisoners are tool
proof. Tho cells are locked by means
OF levers and strong padlocks. AT tho
right Of the door leading to tho CORR
DOR, between the rows ofcells is = strong
box ntaining an iron lever for every
cell. When this box is opened tho
jailor pulls the lever for the cell he dc.
sires to enter, and the strong steol bars
that fasten the doors are withdrawn.
Two strong padlocks complete the fas-
tening The jailor can never leave the
cell unbarred, for the box containing the
lever can be closed only when the coils
are all CARED
On the second floor are two dungeons.
When completed these cells will be as
dark III the day time as at night They
will be reserved for the more des uera tie
criminals. The floors are all of Port
land cement and the overhead ceilings
OF heavy sheet iron. There is an abun.
dance OF light and plenty of room for
exercise in the corridors around the
coils. When the plumbing is com eted
