THE CAPTAINS sTATEMENT.

Captain Smith was buslly engaged IN
giving orders on his government boat
Thistle when seen to-day at the Pusey
and Jones Companys wharf He had
been considerably annoyed, he said. by
the publicity into which he had been
placed by a mere coincidence. He
said.
1T is simply q similarity OF names
In that my wife lived in Saratoga, as
did also Philander Hail. whose large
estate is being contested. My wife's
first husband was Phllo Hall, and he
bore no relationship to the Philander
Hall spoken Of Her husband died -four
years ago i'm Saratoga, while the Phi
lander Hall in question is said to have
died last March.
Il simply heard OF this man Philan-
der Hall and that there was some con-
test over his estate. but nothing Of any
suit IN the case until reporter called
on me on Saturday night.
My wifes estate has never been in
volved in any court of equity over this
matter. Another similarity Of names
seems to have cropped out in the APP
pearance of one Francis Sherwood
whom / have never heard of. but whose
name is simply the same as my wife's
maiden name she being the daughter
Of the late Rev Dr. Sherwood Of Sara
toga.
Il have never said that Sherwood
was a blaclmailer. because / never
heard of the man until read 1t in the
newspaper.

dence over a matrimonial advertise

SMITHS 'SSTORY
The Genial Wilmingtonian
Explains a Mystery
OVER THEIHALL ESTATE OF $4,000
HIS MARRIAGE AT NORTH ADAMS.
MASS, AND A SIMILARITY OF
NAMES HAS CONNECTED HIM
WITH A CONTEST OVER AN $780,
600 ESTATE.

NAMED Has tONlNEC TED HIM
WITH A CONTEST OVER AN ssO.-
600 ESTATE.
Captain Charles II. Smith who is
now in the lighthouse service in the
department Of repairing and building,
under Major BiXby, has been brought
into an affair at North Adams, Mass.
which has some most novel features re-
sulting from a startling similarity of
names.
One of the stories in connection with
the case is that the genial captain ac-
cidentally saw matrimonial adj
vertisement in a New York paper from
woman who proved to be the widow
OF Philander Hall, a rich merchant of
Saratoga, N. Y, who died in New
York in March The two, IL stated.
exchanged pictures, and the result
was meeting and love at first sight
She was rich and the sole heir of her
husband, who, at his death, left $50,
OO0 The courtship was brief. but Mrs
Hall, before cOnsenting to become the
spouse of the captain. wrote letters to
certain people of Wilmington to learn
the captains standing.
The answers she received must have
been suitable to Mrs. Hall, as the cou-
pie were married and after a brief
honeymoon at Saratoga they returned
to North Adams to live.
CONTEST FOR $4,000 ESTATE.
Mrs. Harriet M. Smith, wife of John
Smith, a shoemaker In Fair Haven
Conn, who has been searching for hei
missing father for many years, nav
claims that she has located him. She
claims that he was the Philander Hall
of Saratoga, who died in New York IN
March. Mrs. Smith says her father
deserted his family in Danbury. Conn.
IN 1856. and that she and her brothei
saw him there and In Now York Mrs
Smith says that her fathers nam,
was James Frear, and that he had q
good reason for changing it 10 Phi
lander Hall There are three or -four
more persons in New York who lay
claim to the estate now owned by Cap
tain Smiths wife.
Captain Smith left North Adam.
about two weeks ago and came tC
Wilmington. Mrs. Smith arrived il
