On these and other grounds the aid Of

Governor Wants an Opin-
ion from the Court.
Desires to Know If State House
Award IS Valid.
Says Commissioners Exceeded
Amount Voted by the People.

Governor Lippitt has applied to the
Supreme Court for an opinion relative to
the validity of the contract between the
State House Commissioners and Norcross
Brothers and of course by so doing in
dicates that he questions it himself.
According to the opinion of several at
torneys and members of the state House
Commissioners themselves the question
is based on the Interpretation of the act
Of March, 1898, by which the Board was
created. BY the same act the bond issue
for 81, 500, 900. TO be known as the "State
House Construction Loan, was author
lied and the Governors : assumption Is
that limit was thus fixed for all time
and that the Commissioners were acting
without authority when they accepted
the bid of Norcross Brothers for 81, 576, :
000 On the other hand, the act gives
discretionary power TO the Commissioners
to select a site and erect the building, but
does not say anything relative 10 what
amount they shall not exceed. The only
restrictive clauses in the act so far as ex-
penditure of money is concerned, are TO
the effect that no portion of the work,
the cost of which exceeds 500, shall be
done except by contract, and that no con-
tract for work, the cost of which exceeds
$1,000, shall be awarded without previous
advertising for bids
The claim of the Commissioners there
fore is that the ST. 500, 600 was in the nature
of an original appropriation and not one
TO which they were limited and further
more the Legislature has been informed
annually of the progress of the work and
of the amounts called for by contracts and
that no limit WAS imposed and no -4nes-
tion raised when the Assembly was
officially notified that the contract for
building called for S76, 600 more than was
provided for by the bond issue.
In speculating on the probable out
come Of the affair an Assemblyman said
today that il the Supreme court should
decide the contract to be invalid it would
be very simple matter for theLegislature
to pass bill for an act To validate the
action of the Commissioners.
The insinuation In Boston paper today
that there were Boston contractors who
made lower bids than Norcross Bros, is
without the slightest foundation. There
was but one bid lower than that of the
Worcester concern and that came from "A
western contractor and for good reasons
was rejected.

SHE WAS NOT SCARED.
Schoolmarm Stands Off Two Tramps
in School Houses and then Faints

Indianapolis, Ind. March %. .-On Friday
Miss Estelle Sprainger, principal of the
village school at Hecla, Whitley county,
took an old revolver away from one of
her mischievous pupils and placed it in
her desk. She was opposed TO teaching
the young idea how To shoot. - She
thought no more of the weapon until
yesterday when she visited the school
house late in the afternoon TO arrange
some blackboard exercises for Monday.
While engaged at the board, with her
back to the door, she was attracted by n
light step, and turning was confronted by
two men, one white and the other colored.
The intruders advanced rapidly toward
her, ordering her to hold up her hands.
For moment she stood irresolute and
then she remembered the old revolver.
She sprang to the desk, opened IL and
seized the dilapidated weapon. Then pre-
senting il, she assumed an air of defiance
and declared that she would kill them if
they advanced another step. The two men
glared at her for a few moments and then
left the room.
Miss Spraingcr ran to neighboring
house where she tainted from nervous ex-
element. AS soon as her story was learned
the village turned out in pursuit of the
tramps, but they made their escape

MILLER'S WILL.
Validity Sustained by
Verdict of Jury.
This Was Result of a Com
promise Made by Children.
Annie, to Whom Bulk OF Estate Was
Left, Agrees to Divide II.

An interesting contest over the property
left by John Miller rich North End
leather worker, was formally closed today
by verdict of jury in Judge Wilbur's
court that declared an instrument in
writing offered by Annie IT, Miller the
daughter and executrix of John Miller,
was in fact his last will and testament.
There was no objection on the part of
John l.. Miller, w. A. Miller and Susan
A. Sphinx though they were represented
by counsel, and after proof of the making
of the will by the deceased had been
offered and also proof that the same had
been admitted TO probate by the Munich
pal Court of this city, Judge Wilbur in
structed the jury TO bring in the verdict
sustaining the will.
Last spring the brothers and the sister
of Annie Ia. Miller appealed from the
decision of the Municipal Court in order
that jury might settle whether their
father, John Miller, the maker of the
will, was of sound and disposing mind
when the will was made and whether
Annie had used undue influence on her
father TO get him TO leave all his property
to her.
The case was bitterly fought and the
appellants claimed their father used
whisky in large quantities every day
and was not in "a condition To make a
will when he signed the instrument then
in controversy. They also accused their
sister Annie of having turned their
fathers mind against them and also
charged she would not permit the other
children To see him during his last ill
ness. Another charge was that Annie had
been the cause of the separation that
had taken place between Mrs. Sphinx and
her husband. On the other hand testi-
mony was introduced to show that the
deceased was man of strong will and
unlikely Co be influenced by any one to
do what he did not feel like doing
Annie denied the charges made against
her by her sister.
The jury that heard the testimony failed
to agree upon verdict. In the mean
while the children of the deceased came
to an agreement over the distribution of
the large amount of property that was
left All of the estate except three lcga-
cies of $500 each to certain grandchildren
was left to Annie. Ii Is understood that
by the terms of the compromise the
lcgacies are to be paid to the grand
children and Annie Is to divide a portion
of the estate left her among her brothers
and sister. A. j. Cushing, A 3 Miller1
j. T.. Conley and T., L. West represented
the appellants, and Cooke a. Angel and j.
