MISS CANnON'S ESTATE.
Her Cousins Are Fighting Over the
Estate Left by Her.
viii Was Not Prohatsd by Municipal Court.
The Latest Phase Of Case.

Though three juries have considered
evidence in regard 20 whether or not a
certain instrument in writing offered
by Executor John Cannon was the last
will and testament OF the lote Mar
garet Cannon, the case is still in court.
John McEnanley and others who, like
John Cannon, were cousins Of the de-
ceased, claim that Cannon used undue
influence over the deceased 10 secure
her property for himself. Miss Cannon
was at the time of her death a very old
woman. and while McEnan!ey was al
one time her agent in matters Of busi-
ness, there was evidence introduced at
the trials TO show she during the las.
years of her lie depended much on the
counsel and advice given her by Mr..
Cannon.
The decision OF the Municipal Court
OF this city was that the instrument
offered by John Cannon was not tho
last VIII and testament OF Miss Can
non. An appeal Was taken to the coEl-
mon pleas division OF the Supreme
Court. Two juries failed TO agree and
a third reversed the decision of the Mu-
nicipal Court.
Today counsel for the parties opposed
to the probating Of the will raised the
point that a justice i'm the common pleas
division had extended the time i'm which
the appellant, John Cannon, might file
his reasons of appeal beyond the time
given by the, jBdicary act: that such
action on his part was void that sub
sequent proceedings amount TO nothing,
and that the will stands now as not
probated. Counsel for Cannon maintain
that the justice in the common pleas
division could in his discretion extend
the time for the fling of the reasons OF
appeal, the appeal bond having been
flied.
Stiness q Stiness and James NJ. Gill
rain are attorneys for those who op-
pose the will, and Cooke q Angel at
torneys for John Cannon. The case
was heard on the above named point by
Chief Justice Matteson and Justices
Tillinghast and Rogers today.

VIII Be Over Harbur Master, For Which
There Are Several Asplrants.
MAGUIRE AND DRINAN WANT POST.
Republicans Are Carving on a Quiet but Vigorous
Campalgn---CoIoneI Moran Receiving Many
Pledges Of Support City Council Caucuses.

The municipal campaign is now on.
and is already being waged i'm a very
quiet, but very vigorous manner. There
IL, OF course, no doubt that Mayor Ba-
ker will be renominated by the Demo-
cratic party this evening, together with
Matthew j. Cummings for overseer of
the poor. and ID. l.. ID. Granger for city
treasurer. What the convention will do
as TO the nomination for harbor master
is in doubt as Mr.. Mcguire, Mr. Drinan
and some others are in the race for the
place.
In the meantime the Republican NOM
inees have already placed their shoul-
ders to the wheel and are working i'm
concert for the success of the ticket.
Col. Olney, the Republican candidate
for mayor, wears a very confident and
determined look, and says that he is in
the fight for keeps. while Col. Moran,
who has been nominated for overseer
Of the poor, is already receiving a large
number Of fiatterng pledges Of support
from sources from which they were
hardly TO be expected. Col Ballou and
Major Bucklin have hosts of friends
and they will leave no stone unturned
to bring out the full strength of the
next month.
The Republican caucuses for the
nomination of candidates for the city
council will be held in the several wards
tomorrow evening. and some few
changes are looked for in some of the
precincts. although definite plans have
not yet been made. In the Fifth ward
there will be quite a contest for alder
man. and j. Edward Allen is right in
it, as his friends say that he will GER
tainly receive the nomination as
against Mr. Reynolds, but until the
caucus is held there will be plenty OF
guessing.
There is also some doubt about the
Eighth ward aldermanic nomination,
and while j. Herbert Arnold has many
supporters. there are many other voters
who would like to see Charles ID. Kim
ball nominated, IL he would accept.
There may be quite change in the
Fourth ward delegation, but the ward
committee is still busly at work en-
deavoring to smooth out some OF the
petty differences, and no great contest
is looked for.
