DODDRIDGE CASE.
II Is Onoe More Attracting Attention in
the WAYNE Circuit Court
Judge Rabb Presiding.

The Doddridge case is on trial in the
Wayne circuit court and it is attracting
the attention of the public once more
The case is that of Theodosis Doddridge
VS. the estate of Isaac Doddridge, for
s. 900. The case is as follows, in
brief:
Theodosia Doddridge claims TO have
entered into contract with the late
saac Doddridge to take care of him
in his declining years for the consid
GRAFTON of certain moneys TO be left
her in his will. This agreement
was obtained in writing. Now come
the other heirs of the late Isaac,
and say that the written statement was
made under the pressure of uD
due influence welded by the said
Theodosia, and that it should not be
held as valid. Ii is claimed in sup
port of this theory of the defense that
the said Theodosia was paid in nard
cash, spondulix. rhino and coin OF the
realm for all her services, and that
there is no payment due her for said
services. The case is one of those
stubbornest of law suits, family fuss,
and will be stubbornly fought. The
estate is good-sized one, and there is
plenty of meaDs to pay bills on both

THREE DAYS OF GRACE.
An Attempt VIII Sc Made to Have
Leals atuTe Abolish the Custom.

There Is a movement on foot by the
Indiana Bankers association which Is
now IN session at Indianapolis. TO ask
the legislature TO pass law abohshlng
the three days of grace, j. b. Dou-

congressional district. TIL Iudianap-
oils Sentinel says:
1t is pretty evident that the asso-
citation intends to take decisive action
in the direction of asking the legisla-
ture to pass law abolishing the three
days of grace. Mr.. Nj B. Wilson CT
the Capital national bank voiced the
sen ntiment of the association yesterday
afternoon when he said: The ne
eessity of the three days of grace has
disappeared. The law was passed q
long time back when modes of com
munieation aud transportation We're
primitive and when it was sometimes
impossible to meet obligations at date
on that account. Now we have rail
roads and fast mail aud telegraph ser
vice and the proper thing is TO follow
other states and abolish this custom. ;

KEPT HERE.
THE NATUR GAS CASE
WILL BE TRIED HERE
By Judq= j. NJ. Rabo OF WiiiIamsoort,
6e0lnr.no Ososmosr 6 -Tns Change
OF vsags Annulisd on Petition of ths
Osfenss-A c. Harris Hare.

Addison c. Harris of Indianapolis,
is in the city today, to look sitter the
cases of me citizens VS.. the Natural
Gas company of this city. He appeare
with Mr.. LIndamusd II the court room
this morring. aud On motion of the at
torneys for the gas company the
change of Venue TO Henry coan-
ty was annulied and IL q case will be
tried in the Wayne circuit court, be
ginning December 6. Judge J. NJ
abb OF Nllliamsport viii try the case.
The change to Henry county was no,
satisfactory TO the defense, and II was
on that account that tire change was
asked and the case kept here. This is
regarded by the plaintiffs as a victory
in that it will make the expense less
than it would have been had IL been
t4ken to another court. The plaintiff
also feel that it is an advantage to try
the case here IN Richmond, where the
sentiment is pretty clearly decided in
favor of he plaintiffs. The case will
attract u.icn attention when the trial
begins.
Attorney Harris was asked this
morning what We're the chances in the
case, and he was as usual retIcent
only saying that he would not talk but
would a1vise everyone to watch the
progress of the case, as il is to be well
fought ali the way through. The at
torneys far the gas company appear
equally confident, and as they are
among the best attorneys IN this city
and MI. Harris is one OF the best in
the state, there will be no stone or gas
pipe left unturned to win the case.

sell at the rate of 81 30 per
quarter instead of $40 so, the regular
rate, or to show in the Wayne circuit
court on that date why the company
will not or cannot comply with the
plaintiffs request.
This is the case in which Whitesell
rendered the Central Union Telephone
company $50 instead of the com
pany's regular rate of 5000 for one
quarters rental. On the strength Of
the company's refusal TO comply with
the request Whitesell brought suit TO
compel the company to accept tha
money offered, alleging that the ra e
is a reasonable one aud fu.ly enough

plant sets forth what the investment

and what the income is on that invest
ment. The case will prove interest
