PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
Heard in Probate Court Before Judge Pea
body Yesterday.

There was heard in the probate court
yesterday morning before Judge Peabody
petition for Administrative on the estate
of Mrs. Sophia Small of Gray. Frank &
Larrabee and Scott Wilson appeared fol
the petitioners and Warren Fl. Vinton fol
the contestants.
1.-The case is against the estate of Mrs.
Sophia Small and the petitioner is Eliza
beth S. Frank, sister of the deceased
Mrs. Small. 1t is petition for appoint
ment as administrator in which ma
jority of the heirs have joined.
Mrs. Dolley, niece of the deceased, who
claims to have had settlement with the
deceased in life for care and support, by
which bank book amounting to about
1900 was transferred to her and sale OF
all the personal property. She claims also
that the settlement involves the real
estate of the deceased but that there was
failure on Mrs. Small's part to execute
the deed.
The opposition Of Mrs. Dolley to the ap.
pointment Of Mrs. Frank as administrator
is the personal hostility which exists be-
tween them growing out of the ACCUSE
lions made by Miss Dolley which led to
a post mortem examination of the body
of the deceased. which hostility she be-
lieves renders her an unfit person to adj
minister the estate as it would be certain
to lead to expensive litigation.
Judge Peabody reserved his decision.

ed to be made at this mseting of test OF
the apparatus at North Lubec for the ex-
traction of gold from sea water, and the
terms of this report will in a great meas
ure settle the fate of the company which
was launched under such apparently
auspices circumstances by Messrs. Jerne-
gan and Fisher. If the test proves that
gold can be obtained in paying quantl-
ties then the company will continue
operations at both plants with renewed
activity If, on the other hand as is the
opinion of nearly all the stockholders. it

bill in equity. to secure the annulling OF
the s,O00,00 shares Of stock held by
Messrs Jernegan and Fisher on the
ground that they have deceived the stock
holders. If the court grants the prayer,
