might be the romantic title of legal cpl
sode that is on in the courts here.
James Banks. as administrator OF Mrs.
Martha Mulligan has asked for a receiver
10 take charge of her estate under very
peculiar circumstances, and Harvey Hill
has been named by the court to act tenn
porary in that capacity.
Brass buttons seem to have had their
usual effect on the fair sex and to have
driven the lady in the case as nearly mad
as brass buttons generally do. particular
ly when the fair one is little short of
wit. According to the petition. Patrick
Mccain, a United States soldier, who has
been stationed at Mcpherson barracks, has
obtained possession of the estate of Mrs.
Muligan and is holding it without valid
title. Mrs Mulligan who was about sew
land when the gallant sergeant made her
acquaintance. She had a son and a grand
child. Last summer the sergeant pursuad-
ed her to visit his relatives at Lowell,
Mass She dotted on the doughty sergeant
and his word was law.
During her visit. Mrs. Mulligan was
stricken with a severe illness and her en-
feebled constitution and great age pre-
vented her recovery, and she died in Au-
gust. 1896.
After her death, so the bill states, Sergt.
Mccain took possession of her estate,
which consisted of four houses and lots of
considerable value in Oakland and of fur
niture and jewe.ry. He claimed that she
had willed him her property in considera-
ton of the sum of $500 paid her by him and
the love and affection she bore him. AS
Mccain is 90 the love and affection part
of the story seemed rather unaccountable,
and the petitioners set up that Mccain
was only a soldier in the service of the
United States government, drawing small
pay and not likely to have much money to
invest in such a future as the legacy of
an old lady.
The petitioners propose to show that Mrs
Muligan, because of her great age and
enfeebled condition, was not of a sound
mind, capable of disposlng OF her proper
ty. and that if such a will was made it
was the result of undue influences.
Since her death, Mccain has sold one of
the lots for $500 and has collected the in
surance on one of the buildings that was
burned, amounted to $40, all of which, 1t
is alleged, he has converted to his own
use.

DROTsHAGEN's ESTATE.
The Special Master Reports In Favor
of the WIfe's Heirs.


Jacksonville, Fla, July 16.-One of the
most remarkable cases that has ever been
before a Florida court is that now before
Judge Call, wherein the heirs of Gustav
Drotshagen and those of Hedwig Drots-
hagen, his wife, are the contestants The
award of a $4,000 estate depends entirely
on a question of fact, l. e., who died first.
They were childless, and If she was the sur
vlvor, even by a few seconds, her heirs
are the rightful owners of the estate On
the other hand. If they died at the same
time or if she died first. then his heirs
viii secure the property.
Special Master f. b. Fleming made a
report to-day in favor of the heirs of the
woman, holding that the circumstances
surrounding the death of the two led to
the conclusion that the woman was with
out doubt the survivor of her husband.
1t will be recalled by readers of the
Morning News that the two were found
dead in bed at Lawtey in June, 1894 The
man was shot in the back of the head and
the woman in the eye. The special master
stated that the lids of the womans eye
were uninjured, showing that she was
wide awake when the assassin or burglar
entered the apartments. Her gown was
red with rivers of blood, which coursed
down and almost to her feet, and the bed
clothing from around her body was
thrown aside. Her aged husband was
found resting on his side covered with the
bed clothes in a natural attitude and his
face the picture of repose, indicating that
he was slain while sleeping.

From Macon the committee will go to

asylum.
1t is calculated that the work on these
two institutions will take up week.
At the end of that time the university
at Athens will be visited, and there the
committee expects to spend a week.
though 1t is significantly stated that more
time may be required to find out every
thing.
When the university has been disposed
of, the agricultural department will prob
ably be the next object to engage the at

complained that Commissioner Nesbit is
slow in getting his books in condition for

NEW RAILROAD LINK.
1t Is to Connect Louisville With Che
Augusta Southern. IL.


Louisville, Ca, July ia large meeting
of citizens was held at the court house to-
night to consider ways and means Of build
ing a railroad from here to Wren, station
on the Augusta Southern. Wren is only
fifteen miles from here and would con
meet Louisville with Augusta. The road
has been surveyed long time, but it has
been left for James U. Jackson, president
of the Augusta Southern and few of
Louisville's leading business men, to push
it.
President Jackson made quite a speech
in favor of building, as also did Fred
Lockhart, an eminent lawyer from Au-
gusta, W. l.. Philips, one of this city's
prominent lawyers and an enterprisng
citizen. 1t was quite an enthusiastic
meeting and all were in favor of the road.
A committee was appointed to get up
subscriptions, and, no doubt, the road will
be built in short time. 1t will be of
great value to Louisville and the people
living along the proposed route
