Admitted TO PROBATE.


Judge Ferrill Sustains the Hover viii
and Mrs. Hover Gives Notice of Con-
test.
On the petition Of Messrs. Julian Schley
and w. d. bearing the last will and tesla
ment of Lemuel L. Hover was admitted
to probate in solemn form in the court of
ordinary yesterday morning. and notice
of an appeal to the superior court was
given.
The executors of the will made applica-
ton some time ago to have the will pro-
bated in solemn form, and the matter
came up for hearing yesterday.
When the question came up Lille M.
Hover, by her guardian ad litem, Mrs.
Laura E. Hover, filed a caveat against
the execution of the will rs it stood. The
caveat was filed by Messrs. Garrard, Mel
drim & Newman, attorneys for the cavea
trix
The caveat stated that the paper before
the court was not the last will and tesla
ment of Lemuel l.. Hover; that it was
the result of fraud practiced on the tes-
tator's fears. affections and sympathies;
that it was the result of duress and undue
influence; that it was procured by mis-
representation and fraud, to the injury of
the caveatriX; that L. /. Hover did not
have perfect liberty of action at the time
he made the will that it was not freely
and voluntarily made, and that there was
mistake of fact as to that conduct of
Laura e. Hover, one of the heirs-at-law;
that on account of old age and for other
reasons l.. l.. Hover was not of sufficient
mental capacity to make a will; that he
did not have decided and rational desire
as to the disposition of his property, and,
finally, that he was unable to compre-
bend the claims and obligations sug
gested by a review of his family rela
tions
There were only four witnesses intro
duced. Messrs. }. M. Dryer, W.O. d. Rock
well and E. S. Elliott, the witnesses to the
will, testified that it was the will of l.. l..
Hover and that they believed him to be
of sound and Gisposing mind when it was
made. Messrs. w. 0. D. Rockwell, T. d.
Rockwell and E. S. Elliott who had wit
messed the codicil to the will, testified as
to the genuineness of their signatures
and the codiciI which the testator had
added
The executors of the win, Messrs. w. d.
bearing and Julian Schley, were the only
witnesses put on the stand by the cavea-
triX, and they were asked to testify only
as the property which Rover left. 1t
amounts in all to about 1000.
Judge t'errill then admitted the will to
probate in solemn form, and Messrs. Gar
rard, Meldrim and Newman gave notice
of an appeal to the superior court.
1t will be remembered that L. L. Hover
left two-thirds of all his property to Mr.
Jno. Sullivan Schley, and one-third to his
wife during her life, to be left to his
daughter after her mothers death. He
also added a codicil preventing his wife
from claiming a homestead from the
estate. The circumstances and reason
for this action given by Hover have been
stated on several occasions.

nately the elevator was at the bottom
when the cable parted or the accident

results.
Josephine Williams was turned over to
the superior court yesterday by Justice
Warning Russell on a warrant charging
her with larceny after trust. 1t seems
that she had been entrusted with $50 for
safe keeping and she kept it only too well.
Abidell Hammond was the otfended party
and he ordered the arrest.

DIR. BARRETT's LECTURE.
A Little Tilt With DR.. Hawthorne
Acts as an Advertisement

Atlanta, Ga, Oct l6.-Rev. DR. J. B.
Hawthorne, the well-known Baptist di-
vine, and the Rev. DIR. Barrett, dear of
st. Lukes Episcopal church, with the
assistance of the enterprisng newspaper
reporter have stirred up a tempest in q
teapot. DR.. Barrett agreed to lecture on
THE Passion Play" at the opera house
tonight for the benefit of the Brunswick
relief fund. Yesterday DR. Hawthorne
in his sermon referred to the passion play
lecture by saying: "It is a very crooked
sort of philanthropy which says give me
an oyster supper or ticket to a musical
festival, or a ticket to a lecture on the
passion play and l will give you 25-cents
for the Brunswick sufferers"
This was magnifed into a sensational
attack upon DR.. Barrett, and when re-
lated to him he replied in card thatwent
straight home to the Baptist divine.
To-day DR.. Hawthorne comes back at
DIR. Barrett in a caustic card directed
against the enterprising reporter who
stirred up the mares nest The doctor
disclaims any attack on or criticism of
his Episcopal brother, but thinks the
thing a malicious fake on him by the re-
porter. Both have had their say and are
now satisfied. DIR. Barrett is especially
cOntented, as the affair scored as a neat
advertisement for his lecture, and to-
night he delivered it to a crowded house,
realizing a handsome sum for Brunswick,

yavcross, Ga, Oct. 16.-A very roman

Drvsdale and Miss Georgia Haddock
If Jacksonville, Fla. Mr.. Drysdale is a
,,,nular conductor on the jacksonville,
Tamna and Key West railroad
He has been in the employ of one
Or two roads in this state and is well
Known to many of the railroad men here
and they appear to like him. Miss Had
dock is the beautiful and accomplished
d9ugbter of Mr.. Haddock, a wealthy
Gentleman, who resides at Jacksonville
Far several months Mr.. Drysdale and Miss
paddock have been clandestinely en-
Gagged. The father of the young lady OBJ
iected to the young mans paying attention
fohis daughter and it was seldom the good
fortune of the lovers to be in each others
company. Some time ago Mr.. HaddOck
found them together and he became high
X Indignant. He told the young man
that in the future he should not pay
further attention to his daughter. This
did not cause the lovers to lose hope, nor
did they fail to meet each other. There
were friends who arranged for the young
people to see each other at parties and
home gatherings. 1t was with great
6dIlSLdGUlUu bAACAi ulAdN bl1C 1OQuS man
watched Mr.. Haddock buy ticket for
points in the north and east, and get on
the train. AS the train pulled out
from the depot and steamed away in the
distance, the young man cast a reassur-
ing glance at the smoke from the locomo-
tive which was bearing Mr.. Haddock
away, and, then with feeling of exulta-
ton he leaped forward in the direction of
the home where Miss Haddock was wait
ing for him. He soon reached the house
and there the two lovers met, with
sense of security and freedom
buoying them up as they had never real
lied before The trunks were hastily
packed and the two left on the first train
for Waycross. They went to the Phoenix
hotel and after hurried explanations a
note was dispatched to the Rev George
w. Mathews. In short time
the minister arrived and the
lovers were quietly married in the ele-
CANT parlors of the Phoenix hotel. The
marriage was witnessed by one or two
friends of the groom. The next morning
the bride returned to her nome, while
the groom remained here until night and
went to a place on the Central railroad.
He expects to return to Jacksonville in
ten days, and hopes to claim his wife.
These are the facts as were furnished by

A CYCLE THIEF CAUGHT.
His Chances for the Penitentiary are
Good.

his finances Tor the Ren1tent1ary are

Policeman G. L. Smith arrested a negro
boy at Wheaton and Randolph streets
last night, who was trying to dispose of a
bicycle. The bicycle had evidently been
stolen.
Both boy and wheel were taken to the
barracks, where the boy gave his name
as Marshall Johnson. He said he had
gotten the bicycle from d. johnson on
Whitaker street, but his story was not
believed The bicycle is at the barracks,
where it can be identified by it's owner.
Bicycle thieves are likely to suffer. All
of the wheelmen's organizations make it
point TO push the prosecution of thieves
TO the fullest extent and without any
compromise, and no effort is spared to
capture the thief when a wheel is stolen.
All bicycles are now numbered and regis
tered with the agencies, 50 that it is a
difficult matter to dispose Of one without
detection.
