Married just tie Same.

Tho afternoon train from Philadelphia on
Christmas Day brought to Elkton Il happy
couple des;rous of being tied with the nuptial
knot, and after aIightins they hurried to the
Clerk of the CoUrLs office to secure the needed
license. But the prospective groom and his
intended spouse had altogether overlooked
the fact that owing 10 .h9 holiday the office
was closed, and when they discovered this
fact there was look of uHspeakable woe on
the face of the groom, while the bride wept
hidden tears of disappointment. But they
were not to be out1one, and finding that
Deputy Clerk Cameron was in Elkton, they
hunted up that obliging official and from him
after no little delay obtained the coveted
paper. Forthwith they walked to the Metho.
dist Parsonage where Rev. A. S. Mowbray
soon made them man and wife, and they re-
turned to Philadelphia rejoicing.

DIR. EVANS WILL.
Rev. W. W. Heberton, Formerly of
Elkton, 0ne of the Executors.


Rev. William w. Heberton. form er
pastor of the Elkton Presbyterian Church,
is named as one of the American executors in
Il will left by DR.. Evans, the famous American
dentist who died recently in Paris. leaving
much property. Col. Charles +. Muller,
uncle to Mrs. Heberton, and whose sister
now deceased was DR.. Evans wife, is one Of
the French executors. Through Mrs Heber-
tons prospects OF Inheritance her friends in
Eikton and throughout this county are in
terested in the case. The estate left by Dr.
Evans is valued ut from five to eight millions
bequrathed to what is designated in the
instrument as the "Thomas W Evans Museum
and Institute # Philadelphia.
1t NAY prove no easy task for the executors
to carry out the purposes Of the Will. for tn
reason that no such institution ms that named
have to be met before it can ho established,
but it is probable that eventually DR.. Evans
fortune will serve rs he intended.
There are nnay individual bequests to re-
lativ,g in DR.. Evans will, but in the Ggg O.
gate they do not amount to more than
$3.50 900. About thirty relatives come in FOR
shares. Colonel Charles T. Muller, favorlte
nephew, being the largest beneficiary He is
to receive $4,000 Another nephew, DR..
John Evans, Il dentist like his uncle. who re-
sides in Paris and bears the title Of Marquis
Doley, is specifically cut off from any part OF
the estate,
The will which DR.. Evans left, drawn up in
English form, is exactly duplicated in Fren CHI.
There a-o three American and three French
executors.
Rudolph Evans, who. if his brother had
died intestate, would have been entitled to
half the fortune of the deceased. which, after
all, only amounts to exactly $4,000, 900, re-
ceived but $40 900. Therefore he is deter
mined to fight the will.
