missed in the United States Supreme Court.
The estate, which is said to be valued at
about $3OO,OOO. will now be disposed of ac-

her father. and that IL had been procured
through the alleged undue influence and
persuasions of James L. McLane an uncle.
and his wife. Upon a jury trial, the will
was sustained, and, eventually, the case
reached the United States Supreme Court
where the case was yesterday dismissed by
Mrs. Cropper. 1t is understood that there
was no compromise of the case the only
Agreement being that the terms Of the will
shall be at once carried out. Mrs. McLane.

Il said, get the house on Vermont avenue,

20 Mrs. Cropper Is given real estate in San
francisco and $4,000 life insurance. The
residue Of the estate, exclusive of minor
bequests will be divided between the widow
and daughter Of the testator.

Raleigh, n. c., Aug. 13.-The populist

until 2:SO. After recess Congressman Har-

W. A. Guthrie, of Durham. was nomi-
mated for governor on first ballot, getting
7S votes. and Cyrus Thompson 322.
An intensely dramatic scene followed
when Senator Butler rose and placed in
nomination for lieutenant governor Oliver
ii. Dockery, who was defeated by ID. L.
Russell, as the republican nominee for
governor.
Congressman Skinner declared he would
not submit to DOckery, and that he op-
posed nominating any republican or dem
ocrat now that the middle-of-the-road
policy had been agreed on, and that But
lers plan was to divide the republican
vote and put in the democratic electors.
Cyrus Thompson then attacked Butler,
saying he would not submit TO Dockery's
nomination; that Butler had been dicker-
ing with the democrats. and was now try
ing TO force the republicans. Thompson
said he had favored fusion with the reg
ular republicans.
Skinner said If there must be fusion
with the republicans il must be with the
machine and not with a rebel. Butler re-
mained cool.
Dockery was nominated and the ticket
was completed as follows:
