THE BROTHER SUED
HIS AGED SISTER
Claimed That She Owed
Him Money for Services
Rendered.
She Testified She Had Practically
Supported Him Thirty
Years.
Justice Groezinger Listened Astonishe d
to the Testim ony and Found
for the Sister.

A strange suit was on trial yesterday
afternoon before Justice of the Peace
Groezinger. 1t was of sufficient interest
to bring to the courtroom large mum ber
of residents of the Potrero, who filled all
the chairs of the court, and the overflow
formed ragged shaped human fringe of
men who stood as spectators for some
time.
The story which was the motive in the
proceedings was drawn out by the examina-
ton of several witnesses. 1t was simple
story, but replete with pathos, involv-
ing the traditional long suffering and end
less patient affection of woman and the
ingratitude of man. The litigants are
brother and sister. He was the plaintiff
and she the defendant. The title of the
suit was James Delmers against Catherine
7. Williams.
Mrs. Williams is an elderly woman, a
widow, who is the proprietress OF the
Pennsylvania Hotel at 226 Michigan
street. James Delmere is also elderly.
He was a soldier in the Civil War. At
times he has been in the Soldiers Home
at Yountville, in this State. Both are
well known In the Potrero, one for the de-
voted care she has bestowed upon her
brother during period exceeding a gene
ration in length.
The chief interest in the case was when
Mrs. Williams took the witness-stand.
She testified that she had practically sup
ported her brother thirty years. He had
been at Yountville for time. He broke
his collar.bone. She welcomed him to her
home because he was helpless. She nursed
him, gave him spending money and was
kind to him. She supported him. Con-
cerning the claim he made agsnst her to
recover $249 for services, she testified that
he had performed no services for her. He
had spent much of his time drinking, she
said, and she supplied him with tobacco.
The woman looked weary as she detailed
these facts.
Justice Groezinger decided the case for
the defendant sister IN very few words.
The case is all sided," ne said, land
| will find for the defendant, with costs"
The brother had no money with which to
pay the costs, and they were waived.

DEATH FROM TWO CAUSES.

Heart Disease and Gas Asphyxia Over
take Mrs. Catherine Chenot.
Mrs. Catherine Chenot, widow resid
ing at 921 Valencia street, was found dead
on the floor of her room yesterday by her
son, Eugene Chenot. who, noticing the
odor OF gas in the hallway. went to his
mothers room, which was filled with the
gas, which flowed from an open Jet. Near
by was another jet, which was lighted.
The young man ran for DR.. Cook, who
lives near by, but the woman had ap.
parently been dead several hours.
DIR. Cook stated that Mrs. Chenot had
been suffering for months with a compli-
cation of heart troubles. He believes that
she must have lighted one of the Jets and
was overcome by her heart troubles and
failed to reach the other jet with tn g
match. Death was due partly 10 heart
troubles and partly to asphyxia. The de-
ceased was possessed OF COD siderable prop
erty. She was 65 years of age and ma
tive of Ireland.

WHITE GOES TO PRISON
The Supreme Court Aff1rms the Deci-
sion of an Attempt to Commit
Burglary.

Burglary.
The case of William White, convicted OF
an attempt to commit burglary in the
first degree, was finally disposed of by the
Supreme Court yesterday. 1t came before
that tribunal on appeal from the iudg-
ment and an order denying new trial.
The indictme ment charged burglarious
entry of house situated st As South Park,
this City, belonging to John Doe. The
evidence showed conclusiveiy that White
was guilty of the crime, but the point was
made that the indictment was defective,
inasmuch as the evidence showed tn
property to be that OF one Letitia Bagnall.
The court considered the mere statement
of the point q sufficient answer to it.
Another point, that the trial Judge had
refused the request of the defendan to
send jury to view the premises, was de-
cided to be matter depending entirely
on the Judges discretion.
Other minor points made were also con-
sidered irrelevant. Therefore no error was
found in the record and the judgment
and order appealed from were affirmed.

No MORE, SAYS
JUDGE SEAWELL
There Is a Sufficient Num-
Der of Superior Judges
at Present.
Any Increase Would. Be In
furious to the Public
Interests.
Mayor Phelan Will Present This
Opinion TO the Legislators at
Sacr amento To-Day.

Presiding Judge Seawell of the Superior
Court has given his opinion to Mayor
Pnelan that there is no necessity for an
increase in the number of Judges of the
Superior Court in this City and County.
Moreover, he says that such increase
would be injurious to the public interests,
''and would impair rather than promote
the efficiency of the court"
This opinion was elected by letter
written to Judge Seawell by Mayor
Phelan. The proposed increase in ex-
penses for salaries, in one way and an
other, for this City and County amounts
in round figures to S125,000 per annum
This amount has attracted much atten-
ton and Mayor Phelan has set about to
see what the situation is, and on the 1st
of the month he addressed the following
letter:

COUNTING SILVER DOLLARS.
Tweuty-one Young Women Kept Busy
For Several Weeks.

Tweuty-one Young Women Kept Busy
For Several Weeks.
The count Of money in the vaults Of the
United States Treasury at Washington is
still in progress and will not be finished for
several weeks. The unusually long time
occupied in the count is due to the eau
tiousness OF Treasurer Roberts. In all
previous counts the money has been
weighed in bags. there being 1000 silver
dollars In each bag. Two tests would be
applied to these bags, depending on
whether the dollars were new or had been
used. A bag OF 1000 new and unused dol
lars weighs about fifty-eight pounds and
fifteen ounces. A bag Of badly used dol
lars weighs about flfty-eiSht pounds and
nine or ten ounces, a difference of Sc or 81.
Counting this way the count did not take
SO long, but Treasurer Roberts has insist
ed that in one OF the vaults In which old
silver dollars are stored each dollar shall
be counted. This Is now being done. and
the tinkle Of silver dollars is heard for
many feet throughout the Treasury. Twen-
ty-one young women have been assigned to
this count. In the vault which held the
new silver dollars the count was made in
the regular way. and the gold in the vaults
will be counted by weight.

At the close Of the preliminary hearing OF
The Commonwealth against Sheriff Martin

CONSTABULARY MUST GO.

Gov. Ellerbe Has Not Decided Whom
He Will Appoint as Norton's Sue
cessor.:
Governor Ellerbe, after an absence
OF some time at Mt. Airy, N. c., has
returned to Columbia. When asked
how he enjoyed his trip, he replied:
"Yes, my trip did me good" said he.
and I come back ten pounds heavier
than when I left. I simply rested
while away and let the climate and
water do the rest. 1 am back now and
ready for anything that arises, though
I find nothing to demand my imme-
diate attention?"
How about the constabulary?" was
asked
'tBefore leaving I announced that on
the 1st of October would remove all
the constables except few and when
the time comes shall do so. There is
nothing further about that to be said
that can see. With the exception OF
few constables to enforce, the law in
rural districts every one will be re-
moved. Besides lessening the expenses
of the dispensary by S52, 0O0 annually
it will make the law more popular and
it can be better enforced.
Governor Ellerbe was asked if he had
decided who he would appoint Comp
troller General to succeed Mr.. Norton.
He answered that he had not as there
was no occasion for haste in the matter,
as Mr.. Norton would still hold on until
after the general election on the 18th OF
October. A number of applications for
the place, he said, had been made and
were put on file for his future consider
alton.
When Chief Clerk Derham was mem
toned as prominent candidate for the
appointment, the Governor asked if he
were not the logical successor to Mr..
Norton.
The current objection raised against
his appointment is that he is from the
Pee Dee section, which already has the
lions share of the Offices.
The Governor assented that the Pee
Dee was we'll represented. From his
conversation nothing as to his inten-
tions in regard to the comptroller gem
eralship could be gathered.
He did not care to have anything TO-
say about the action of the railroads In
refusing to haul liquor loose in box
cars. He declined to talk about the
charge of collusion which has been
brought against him by Bluthenal 4
Bickart, Of Atlanta, in the United
States Circuit Court The State.
