mistress, but who seemed to have
strong affection for her He would
follow her from room to room and
was never happy except in her pres
ence. He was generally regarded as
devil by the negroes, and as bird Of
ill-cmen by the whites. and increased
his unpapularity by an uncanny habit
of pulling the lava tips off the gas
burners with his strong beak and in
haling the gas until it stupefed him.
He was a gas fiend.
While his young mistress was sleep

in her room ami started on a gas de-
bauch. This time there was no one
near ttc' avert the consequences of his
deed. When Miss Knott's relatives,
alarmed by her long silence, broke

Survivor?

Lawrence, Mass. Sept. 20.-The case
of ]. @. A. Johnson. administrator. VS..
Richard NJ. Bourne. administrator,
and the Newburyport Five Cent Saw
ings bank, which will be trigd here on
Friday before Judge Sherman, is one
Of unusual interest. Prosperity worth
about $4,000 is involved in the suit,
whEah will recall the fatal Windsor
ho5eI fire in New York on March II,
1899.
The plaintiff was appointed admin
istrat0r of the estate of Alexander B.
johnson, late of Newburyport, and the
| defendant is the administrator Of the
estate of Mary B. johnson, his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson persisted in the
Windsor hotel fire. According to the
plaintiff, each made a will baqueath-
ing all property to the one who should
survive, both to enjoy joint possession
during their life time.
At the time Of the death of Mr. and
Mrs. johnson their property, consist
ing of railroad bonds and stocks and
real CSJtdlc nlO1lSa5SS, was NA@PN--eNN
in the Newbwyport Five Cents Savings
bank and the New York Safety Deposit
company. These securities were dl-
divided fnuo different los and placed
in envelopes. a number CT these en-
velcpes, the value Of the contents of
which amounted to about half the
value Of the whole, were marked AL
exander B. johnson" while the re-
n.airder ixare marked ''Mary B. john
SON"
The plaintiff claims thsl. all the
property really belonged to Mr.. john
son. some CT it being in trust in his
wife's name. but none of it being given
to her. She was only to receive the
property if she survived her husband.
The death of both made II Impossible
to carry out the provisions of the will.
The couple had no children.
The husbands administrator brings
suit to recover all tbs property. Mr..
Bourne, the defendant, declares that
Mrs. Johnson survived her husband.
He denies that the wills were mutual,
and claims that the secuT tiles belonged
to Mrs. johnson and therefore have
become The property Of her admin
istrator.

ted by Many Friends


Mr.. and Mrs. c. K. Hubbard cele-
brated the 5Oth anniversary of their
marriage yesterday, at their home, ~
William street All day they were kept
their p1nny friends, some Of which came
in substantial forms. Among the many
and handsome presents received by the
aged couple was a date palm sent by
friends in Plymouth Church and pic
ture from the Sunday school class of
which Mrs. Hubbard Is a member.
They had expected to spend rather
quiet day, as Mr.. Hubbard has been
suffering from rheumatism for five
moths and had not felt able to make
extensive preparation for the celebra-
tion, but their friends were not to be
disappointed and came in droves to
shake hands and wish the pair many
more anniversaries.
G. X. Hubbard and Mary f. Rice
both of Worcester were married on
Sunday March is, 1S49, M the Pleasant
Street Baptist Church. Except for four
years spent in Holden, they have lived
in Worcester all their married life, hav-
ing resided at AZ William street for 16
years.
They are constant attendants at Ply
mouth Church and take an active part
in its work. Mr.. Hubbard has been in
office business FOR over 40 years, having
never missed two days in succession
on account OF sickness until last Octo-
ber They have one child, Matte, who
lives with them on William street.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbard are in
excellent health, save for the slight
lameness caused by rheumatism in Mr.
Hubbard's case, and Mrs, Hubbard
helps in the housekeeping as she has
always done. 1t is safe to say that
they may live to celebrate their 18TH
anniversary in the same place.
