MONTGOMERY'S ADDENDA. disappointment of the Misses CoghiII Creates a Sensation. FIGURED IN KENNEDY WILL. Executive Committee of the Bar Association Meets and Complete Arrangements-Ap-
 pointments by the Governor.

Montgomery. July S.-(SpeciaD-Quite a little sensation has been caused here by the action of the public school trus- tees in electing to positions as teachers in the public schools the Misses Coghill, who figured in the sensational case tried in the courts here involving the proper ty of a Mrs. Kennedy. The estate was large and valuable one.
 In spite of the fact that Mrs. Kennedy had many close blood relatives who needed for a sustenance the property she left at her death, all of it was left to the Coghill people, who lived in the neighbor- hood with her. but who had no claim whatever upon her. It was attempted to be shown at the trial of the case that the Coghills had taken advantage of Mrs Kennedy's ignorance and the helpless ness of her condition; had during her illness required her relatives to stay away from the house on the ground that the physician had instructed that Mrs Kennedy should be kept entirely quiet and while in her enfeebled condition of mind had influenced her to make the Misses Coghill and their brother her heirs. The will was promptly defeated in the court, and the Coghlls were se- verely criticised by the public for their action in the mater.
 When the annual election occurred a few days ago many citizens protested against their reelection as teachers but
  elected by a vote of 8 to g.
 Tomorrow morning an article will aD- pear in the Advertiser signed Citizen" wherein is stated that as the school board manifested a disposition to over ride and ignore the wishes of the patrons in the election of the Misses Coghill as teachers in the public school, over pro- test, it is suggested that their resig- nations be demanded, and furthermore that if they are not forthcoming the city council will be petitioned to cut off the appropriation for paying their salaries.
 It is learned that a letter to the Missea Coghill demanding their resignations has already been drawn up and signed by many prominent citizens.
