Suit Against Executors.

The Orphans Court of Carroll county on
Monday ordered that issues be sent TO a court
of law in the case of Howard NJ. Keller and
others against Mary Z. Gill and husband and
Susan r. Eckenrode and husband, admins
traitors of Henry H. Keller, deceased.
Henry II. Keller, a resident of Manchester
district, sold his property to his two nieces,
Mrs. Gill and Mrs. Eckenrode, with whom he
resided, on the 18th of May, 1899. The con-
sideraton mentioned in the deed of convey
ance was 1850. On the 29th OF May, only
II days aflerward, Mr.. Keller died, having
been confined to his room for number of
weeks. Letters ofadministration were granted
TO his two neces, with their husbands uniting
therein The total assets of the estate subse-
quently reported by the administrators
amounted to less than 500. The grand
children of the deceased then instituted pro
ceedings to set aside the deed for the property
on the ground of incompetency and unsoud-
ness of mind on the part of Keller. month
ago the Court sustained the validity of the
deed. Proceedings were entered in the Or
phans' Court asking that the administrators
account for 50, $50, the purchase money for
the property. The suit was in the nature of
penary proceedings, and as issues have been
sent to a court of law the case will now be
tied before jury.

A telegram received by Mr.. E. NJ. Bish, Of
this city, on the 1lth inst, from Elder David
Shorb, residing at Minot, North Dakota, con-
veyed the sad intelligence of the death of
Mrs. Arthur Englar in the hospital at that place

Englar had been i'll for month or more with
what has been understood to be pertoniis.
Until very recently favorable reports as to heI
condition had been received by her parents
and friends residing in this county. This sad
news therefore is the sadder because of being
unexpected.
Mrs. EngIar, with her husband and six
small children as is generally understood,
moved to Dakota in March last, in company
with Elder Shorb and family and n number
of others from this county. She was well aud
extremely flvorably known, so Iavortbly that
her departure for the West was regretted by
all who knew her.
She was the eldest daughter Of Mr. Abra-
ham l. and Mrs. Catherine Geiman, near
this place Her age was about 3S years.
Beside her husband she leaves six chill drea.
II is not probable thai her remains for the
present nj least, will be brought home.
