Denial Of Accusation Made in Cour,
Proceedings.


Answ er was filed this afternoon by John
H. Adriaans" to the petition in probate
placed on record yesterday by the children
OF the late Mary Jane Ross, asking that
certain letters testamentary issued to r.
wing Gibson by Adriaans, his proctor, be
decreed null and void, on the ground as
alleged, that the same were obtained by
the imposition and fraud practiced upon the
court by the said Adriaans, and because the
letters were issued contrary to the law"
In his answer Mr.. Adriaans denies the
allegations of fraud. and charges that the
petition of the Children Of the deceased was
filed partially TO enable them to repudiate
certain notes that they gave and partially
to bring the acts of Adriaans in disrepIte
with the court, so as to affect an equity
suit, now pending.
Mr. Adriaans gees on to say in his an
swer that he "believes the petitioners are
r:isled and deceived by one Jonathan c.
Pigelow'
In conclusion Mr.. Adriaans says that he
Gees not concede the jurisdiction of the
court to grant judgment against him or
to vacate, without is sues at law, the letters
testamentary heretofore granted.

Abandons Pastoral Work.

When Mr.. Browne first removed to Rich

but finding the work of that order and the
bank over which he presided must have
his undivided week day attention. he gave
up pastoral work; he continued, however
to preach Sundays and his congregations
were always large. He was regarded as a
fcrcible speaker and logical reasoner.
Mr.. Browne never took an active part In
party politics. He was repeatedly urged to
do SO, but he invariably replied that he had
as much as he could do to look after the
order of True Reformers. He was a pro-
hibitionist, but tn national elections always
voted the republican ticket. 49,
Mr. Browne enjoyed the reputation of
possessing the strfctest integrity. and he
was always endeavoring to instill In the
minds Of his people lessons of morality and
economy. He was a generous giver. Had
he been close and INSCRIPTIONS man he
might have left very large estate. As II
was, he left between $4,000 and $4,000.

DOUGLAS SHED.

The school at Douglas Shed, under
the control of Prof. Eugene Barnes and
Miss Annie Hale, closed last Friday.
The weather was bad, but a very good
number were present. Several good
pieces by the students were delivered
exceedingly well and the visitors were
well entertained. Being interested in
the schools of the district, we have
carefully watched the mannerin which
this school was conducted, and we are
proud to say that it has been one of
unbounded success. Prof. Barnes is
tavorably known to us; we know that
his qualifications are the highest: his
reputation as a teacher is good: he is
familiar with the ethics Of the profes.
sion and he knows the requisites of a
good school. They both have labored
not for the development of the mental
faculties alone, but they have planted
the deep rooted seed buds of morality
and virtue in the hearts of their pupils.
May their paths be strewn with lilies.
Last Saturday evening there was a
poke supper conducted under the au-
spices of the NJ. E. Church, at Mount
Zion. Despite the inclemency of the
weather the house was crowded, and
scores of pokes were sold. After the
crowd had disposed of the delicious
viands, it was highly entertained by
the young people. Several speeches,
o%rations. and recitations were given,
and all the participants we're crowned
with the laurels of honor. The recita.
ton of welcome, in which were seven
girls dressed in dazzling white, re-
minded US Of 1.-THE coming of that

pieces were recited by the little boys
and girls, all OF which were excellent.

DENTON.

Deliah j. Denton was born May 10,
1870; Died January Is, 1897; was married
to Aft Denton March 20, 1855. Deliah
was a faithful member of the NJ. f.
Church, died in the triumph of a living
faith and went to live with her friends
in the sweet by and by, where sickness,
sorrow, pain and death are felt and
feared no more, and where they may
live with the bright robed angels in the
realm Of eternal bliss. Her dying words
were these: "My dear husband, when
this you see rem<mbef me, for in the
grave will Deliafl Denton be. DON'T for
get me when ydN have laid me in the
grave, but fight en-; it won't be long till
we will meet again in heaven above
where all is love, there will be no sorrow
there. know l can't live long, but |
hope to gain a home in heaven. Dear
husband, l want you to do right and
meet me in heaven, where we will part
no more. God will bless you if you will
trust him. Think of those words when
| am dead and gone and can never re-
turn to you, but you can come to me.
Think of that blessed song, Il will soon
be at home over there Dear All, the
time will come when friends must part.
Oh, can | part with you? Yes, fate has
decreed; we must. Alas, dear friends,
adieu, perhaps before we meet again the
clay may be my bed. If your heart be
the same drop a tear in memory Of her
who had much love for you," is the
prayer Of Deliah Denton. During all her
Affections she bore them with marvellous
patience and met death with the bold
ness of only a Christian. The friends
who were in the death chamber said she
died the triumphant death of a Chris
tian. Deliah is gone never to return;
she leaves behind her a husband, father
in law and many friends to mourn her
loss. We sympathise with the bereayed
ones, but we sorrow not as those having
no hope, for we do expect to meet our
friends "beyond this vale of tears where
we shall be free from all temptations.r
q thank God for such n testimony from
a Christian. MARY T.. Cox,

Col, JOSEPH B. McCullagh ended his
W. life in st. Louis a few days ago.
He was the editor in chief of the Globe
Democrat, one of the richest newspa-
per properties in the country. In af-
fluent circumstances and one of the
most brilliant and cultured writer's in
newspaperdom, why he SO rashly and
suddenly babe farewell to fame, wealth.
high social rank and a life of refined
enJoyments is a mystery too profound
for human philosophy, Had he been
struggling along in the attempt to con-
duct a starveling newspaper on the
credit system, as is so numerously the
case in this particular section of the
country, good men would have felt
justified in commencing the act and
the plying stars would have encrusted
his psllid brow with crystalline tears
OF their W weeping. AS it is, we
have no desire to know why this mys.
terry of life was linked to the mystery

The State Democratic Committee
claim to have evidence of more than
l1'OOO illegal votes cast for Tillman,
located as follows: First District, 8, 100;
Second, $500; Sixth, $500; Tenth ,
5000. Considering all the cicumstan.
ces and the environments and what
the ring has at stake, this claim is
fabulously small bordering even on
excessive modesty. If the committee
have had say $4,000, it could not have
told a bigger or more heinous lie or one
more clearly apparent.
