Letter to a Governor Long Dead.

Among the letters handed to Governor
Mount yesterday was one which set all the
employees of the Office to rubbing their eyes
to make sure that they were awake. Across
the face of the envelope, scrawled in lead
pencil, was the inscription gov. j. D. VIII
liams, Indianapolis, Ind In the upper left
hand corner were the words From Mrs
Rose Cochran, Salem, Ark, Fulton county"
The memory of the man who defeated Gen.
Harrison for the governorship still fingered
in the minds of those present. He was af-
fectionately known during his term of office
as blue Jeans" but thar any person should
send letter to him eighteen years after his
death was past comprehension. The letter
asked that Governor Williams tell the writer
what sort of a man John H. Hunter, or the
Cooper alive Knitting Company was she
said he had written to her offering her work
on condition that she bought one OF his knit
ting machines. In conclusion she said: l
will not send him the money until you al
wise me to, as so many men tell Things IN
their advertisements when they don't mean
to do so at ALL. Governor Mount accepted
the legacy from Governor Williams and
answered the letter as conscientiously as the
dead Governor himself would have done.

The suit of Margaret f. Peelle against the
Provident Fund Society, of New York, and
the New England Mutual Accident Associa-
ton. went to trial yesterday in the Circuit
Court. The plaintiff is the widow of Will
liam A. Peelle, who was drowned in a bath
tub at ST. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, in 1894. The
year before he had taken out an accident
policy for 5000. The policy was issued by
the Provident Fund Society, but was after
ward transferred TO the New England Mu-
tual Accident Association by the concern
which issued IT. However, both are made
defendants. 1t is the theory of the plaintiff
that Mr.. Peelle tainted while in the bath
tub and was drowned The defendants are
resisting payment of the policy on the
ground that Mr.. Peee's death was due to
natural causes and that he was not actually
drowned. Mrs. Peelle was on the witness
stand yesterday and related the circum-
stances of her husbands death.

tations Mrs. Mays attorney filed a de-
murrer to the answer and the court made
the following finding: while it is doubt
full whether the answer presents a good de-
Tense, a bad answer is good enough for a
bad complaint, and demurrer to an an

tanned by the first bad pleading. We. there

and sustain ii to the complaint
Another claim considered Yesterday was
that of Benjamin F. Ravens, who was a
worlds fair commissioner from Indiana He

ton in the Superior Court against Harry
w. Overman, Elizabeth Overman, John S.
Mann and the Fidelity Casualty Company
of New. York. The plaintiff procured a di-
vorce from the. defendant, Harry Overman,
in April last and she recovered judgment
against him for $1,000 alimony The money
was to be paid into court on the INSTALL
ment plan. The plaintiff says Overman
stopped paying in June. Recently she tried
10 attach horse and buggy belonging to
her former husband, but found that Eliz-
abeth Overman and John S. Mann were
claiming lien against the property. She
asks that these defendants be called into
court to answer as to their claim and she
wants the Fidelity Casualty Company
which owes her former husband to pay the
money over to her instead of him.
