Filed a Caveat to the will.

On February 18th, Nicholas H
Gillespie. an heir at.law of Mary s.
Gillespie, through his attorney,
Austin L. and G G. Crothers, filed a
caveat alleging undue influence, etc.
and asking that probate of the will
be refused.
The deceased willed all her prop
erty. valued at 81 900, to her faithful
friend aad attendant Miss Mary NJ.
Springer. Nicholas H. Gillespie is
the only surviving member of the
family and brother of the deceased.
Miss Springer has lived with the
branch of the family which Inherited
the home place since some time in
the sos She was in every practical
sense one of the family, and had
pretty nearly entire charge of the
domestic affairs, which she managed
with the same care, economy and
interest as though she had been a
blood member. Had 1t not been for
her uDselfish devotion and admins
tratiye ability it is doubtful if any
thing like legacy of $4,000 would
remain for lawyers to contend over.
About 40 years or more ago MISS
Springer went to live with the Gil
lesoie family in their old homestead,
as hired domestic. She was dell
cate and became a chronic invalid
with consumption DR.. Andrews
attended her for year or more and
coaxed her hack to health again by
careful aud persistent attendance
together with the best nursing a
humane and sympathetic family
could render. After being restored
to health she continued to live on
from year to year, and by degrees
as the members of the family passed
one by one over the viewless river, the
care and responsibility of the house,
hold fell almost if not entirely on
her, and right nobly did she acqui,
herself of the self imposed duty.

A Cutting Affair.

Phillips, proprietor of the Falls

out driving with H. A. Mcguire and

the FELTON, House, was asked by
McGuire's party to take drive with
them, which be at first declined to
do, but, upon them institing, he wen,
along. When about Knights Cor

by Mcclure because he would moi
take drink. Getting the best oil
his assailant, McIntire and the
woman came to McGuire's aid, the

quite severely with knife of some

and quite painful, are not considered
necessarily fatal. Philips clothing
was also cut in shreds. McGuire's
party reached home about thre,
O'Clock Monday morning, and Mr.
Phillips had a warrant issued fo1
McGu,re's arrest. The latter wa.
taken before Magistrate Cleaver

White Declared Elected by the
Court.

OOuGls
The contested election case Of
Clinton j. White VS.. j. A. Boyd, for
sheriff of this county, which has occu.
pied the attention of the court at
various times since November last,
ended Monday night in complete
victory for Mr.. White, Republican.
Mr. White was defeated by the
returns in Nov. last. as counted by
Il judges of election, and Mr.. Boyd
has occupied the Office since the LIST.
of December last. Such gross errors
we're reported in the count that Mr..
White petitioned the court for a re-
count and in this recount the judges
appointed and the counsel on either
side could not agree upon 172 bal
lots, which we're placed in separate
package for the judges of the court
to pass on. This has occupied The
attention of Judge Wickes and
Stump since Friday last, and they
completed their labors at seven
O'Clock Monday night, and passed an
order to the effect that 'the case had
heen fully argued and submitted to
the court, the questions presented
fully considered. and the ballots in
dispute fully canvassed; that we do
hereby adjudge, declare and decide
that Clinton j. White was duly
elected sheriff of Cecil County,"
The judges stated that the total
vote cast was 5,O59 of which White
received 1888 and Boyd 2,519.
majority of 20 for White. They
stated that they had admitted "a of
the 81 ballots cast in the Fifth dis
trict, which were not counted because
the mark was not placed in the spot
provided and the ballots afterwards
not placed in the ballot box, as re.
quired by law, but retained by the
Judge in the district. and afterwards
fled with the clerk of the court. OIL
these, White received 16, and Boyd 8
Had these not been counted by the
court, as a great many thought they
would not be, and upon which Boyd's
counsel based considerable hopes
White would still have majority OF
i in the county The result of the
recount has been surprise to great
many. although Mr.. Whites counsel
have confidently claimed his cleo
tion ever since the recount began
The returns of November last gave
Boyd 8 majority. The case wi
be taken to the Court of APP
peais.
This trial shows the importance OF
selecting competent judges OF cleo.
Lon. There appears to have been
most glazing incompetency in the
judges at the last election, especially
in the fifth district.
1t is possible. had the count been
correct that Haines would have been
declared Senator in place of Crothers
though such result is not certain, as
Crother's declared majority was
considerably more that Boyd's. Had
the Prohibitionists stuck to their own
ticket it becomes still more probable
that Haines would have been success
full. the prohibition vote given to
Crothers being considerable help
in adding to his slim majority.
