No. corn are a cent over the September

packers leading the buying. The cash

CONTEST A BROTHERS WILL.
Two Sisters Enter Protest Against
Its Being Probated.

The heirs of the late Louis Dorr have
entered a protest against the probating
of certain paper alleged to be the last
will and testament of the deceased. They
also ask that letters testamentary be de-
MED Charles ". Motz, who was named as
executor of the estate of the testator The
contestants are Anna Clara Bruehl and
Clara Augusta Stichtanoth who, through
their attorneys, Lambert and Lambert,
yesterday filed a eaveat to the will OF Dorr,
whom, it is alleged, was their brother.
A cayeat was flied today in the Probate
Court by Anna Clara Bruehl and Clara
Augusta Stiehtanoth. protesting against
the probating and validity of the paper
writing declared to be the last will and
testament of the late Louis Dorr, deceased.
The petitioners set forth in their eaveat
that a paper writing dated the 18th day OF
June, 1899, parporting TO be the last will
and testament of Louis Dorr, deceased,
in and by which Charles W. MOtz. OF this
city is appointed executor has been filed
for probate; that they are sisters of the
said deceased and two OF the next or kin
and aIlege that the execution OF the said
paper writing was procured by undue in
huence practieed upon the testator by
Charles w MotZ or some other person or
persons unknown TO the petitioner.
II is also stated that the paper writing
is not in fact a valid will but that the sub
scription thereto was obtained from the de-
ceased by fraud or coercion exercised upon
him by Charles w Motz. or some other per-
son or persons. They ask the court to re-
fuse to probate both as to real and per-
sonal property; that Charles w. Motz be
denied letters testamentary. and that issues
may be framed for trial before a jury. By
the petition asking for probate of the will

Current estimates the total crop of the

New York, Aug. 1s.-In conservative

1t is not believed that the actual Texas
situation has received full consideration.

fairly well the great majority of reports
from that State are sheer fabrications
The feeling in the early market was much
more hopeful, which does not seem prob
able.
The market opened to 6 points higher
on unexpected higher cables, Liverpool
being points up. Later Liverpool turned
weak and our market went off to 8
points. The entire cotton belt was dry, ac-
eording to early reports, and many such
reports came in from Texas and Georgia.
There was not much doing during the
morning, and the feeling was again mixed.
Final cables were IL points higher after

vancing prices, the close being a point

Tennessee Coal and Iron is being taken

was learned by the writer of this column
yesterday that a director in of the
principal and most prosperous railway sys-
TENS in the country who has confined his
investments heretofore almost entirely to
high class bonds has recently made large
purchase of this stock after careful ex-
yestigation of the affairs of the company.
This gentleman states his belief that the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company is at

Gus concerns in the country. He is author
ity for the statement that the concern will
this year have an output of more than
600. coo tons of pig iron, the profit on
which will be from s. to $40 or
more ton. This showing in itself, is

The steady resumption of dividends on
stocks that have long failed to pay them,
the increase in the dividend rate on nu-
merous other stocks, and the first pay
ments to new securities of the iDdustrials
group make one of the most significant
evidences possible OF the return of great
prosperity. During the past week the first
dividend ever given TO Chesapeake and
Ohio has been declared. Yesterday it was
Southern Railway which increased its rate
from / TO 2 per cent annually. The Ma
tional Biscuit Company among the indus
trials has this week announced dividends
on both the common and the preferred
stocks. This record during the past two
months has been a surprising one, but be-
fore the end of the year many other COM
panies viii begin the distribution of profits
to stockholders, so that the record for the
first half of the fiscal year will be unique
in this regard.

ed standards both of taste and instruC-
ton for which the community owes her
a debt of gratitude and remembrance.
She was one of the early teachers of
music who came here thoroughly
equipped for her vocation, and upon
the basis of her exact training many
have become accomplished musicians.
