COUNTY CONVENTION.

At the Republican caucus at Middle
bury on Wednesday evening to elect
delegates to county convention, the
principal contest was on candidate for
Judge of probate, in which the Ham
mond ticket was easily successful. The
Porter for county senator, for William
p. Dillingham;" This was, of course, an
attempt to make capital from an issue
that does not exist, for the whole county
is practically for W. Z. Dillingham;.
y few may have been deceived in
this matter, but if so they will soon
be undeceived. If elected we presume
DIR. Porter would vote for Mr.. Dlling-
ham for senator, but not any more GER
tainly so than will Mr.. James. Indeed
we do not believe that there will be a
single vote in either house from this
county that will not be for Mr.. Dilling-
ham.
The election of the Hammond dele
gates (by the way very representative
and excellent selection of our ctizens)
by an unusually large majority must be
most gratifying to Mr.. Hammond and
his friends.
We understand that at the close of the
meeting, after all the regular business,
for which it had been called, had been
accomplished, and a large share Of
the voters had left, resolution was
offered and voted on by few en-
dorsing for county senator the gentle
man whose ticket had been so badly
beaten. OF course no delegate will pay
any att, ntion to so transparent a trick
but will feel that he was elected to rep
resent the whole caucus and in the con-
vention will vote according to his best
judgment for such candidates as he be-
lleves best fitted to fill the Offices for
which they are nominated.

Avery pleasant meeting of the Addi-
son County Womau's Christian Temper
ance union was held in Lincoln Wednes-
day and Thursday of last week. The
program was creditably carried out, and
many things which were not on the pro-
gram were interspersed, which made the
gathering doublv enjoyable. The county
president, Mrs. l.. ID. Dyer, assisted by
the state president, Mrs. Ida II. Reed,
presided over the convention and was
reelected by a unanimous vote. Miss
Clara Smith was made secretary and
Mrs. w. y. Cove treasurer. About 20
delegates were present, representing
nearly every union in the county.
The people of Lincoln deserve especial
mention for their hearty welcome, which
was voiced by the pastors, the local w.
c. L. L., the Good Templars and best of
all the children-bOys and girls march
ing with their banners, singing songs of
welcome. Certainly Lincoln people
cannot be eXcelled in genuine, whole
hearted hospitality and bountiful pro-
vision for the stranger within their
gates. The members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union will hail
the day when they are again invited to
hold convention in Lincoln.

SUIT TO RECOVER $500.
Litigation Growing Out of the Set
Element of n Large Estate.


Element of n Large Estate.
Suit was filed yesterday by John Leo
Cassin, through his attorney, Charles H.
Merillat, against John II. Cassin, to re-
cover $500 claimed to be due under the
terms of the settlement of the estate of
Roberta Shriver. who died in Baltimore
in 1894. The declaration filed sets forth
that Roberta Shriver left large
estate which by will she bequeathed to
various Catholic churches and charitable
institutions, with the exception of $1,000
which she devised for life to her brother
John H. Cassin, her only heir-at-iaw, and
81, 600 absolutely to John Leo Cassin, who
was then a young boy. John H. Cassin,
it is stated, secured compromise with
the institutions to which the great bulk Of
the estate, which amounted to nearly $780,
600, had been left, thereby securing one
half of the estate.
On gaining their consent that one-half OF
the estate should go to him as heir law
it became necessary for John H. Cassin to
secure the signature of John Leo Cassin's
guardian. Mrs. Anne Cassin, his mother, to
this compromise. This he did, it is stated,
on distinct promise to pay John Leo Cas-
sin or his guardian $500 besides the $500 he
would secure under the compromise, thus
making up the amount left by the will.
John II. Cassin never having paid the
$500 he promised TO pay in consideration
of Mrs. Cassin's agreement. the present suit
is brought by John Leo Cassin, who re-
Gently came OF age, to recover the $500 with
interest from the date of the alleged agree
ment.

Execution Delayed to Await Action
of Higher Court.
The execution of Charles L. McUin, who
was sentencedsfo be hanged on Friday
next for the murder of Robert l.. Turner,
in December, 1889. was yesterday Iost-
poned by Justice Clabaugh until January
II, 1901. This is the second time the cx-
ecution of McUin has been delayed. Soon
after his conviction in March last he vas
sentenced to be hanged in the District
Jail on July 9. He. however. had, through
his attorney. taken an appeal from the
judgment Of the trial court, and upon the
date set for his execution the bill OF ex-
ceptions in the case had not been COM
pleted. The District Attorney some days
before the day fixed for the execution, lec-
commended that it be delayed and in &C.
cordance with this request Justice ca
baugh appointed November as the date
for the carrying out the sentence OF the
court.
The time for filing the appeal from the
judgment of the trial court in the Court
of Appeals expired yesterday. and the hill
of exceptions was placed on record in the
Court of Appeals on Monday. From the
status of the case II was evident that no
action would be taken in the matter by
the Court of Appeals before Friday, SO
action looking to the delay OF the eXecu-
ton of the sentence was taken yesterday.
McUin was in court when the question
of the postponement of his execution was
submitted to Justice Clabaugh. AS on the
days when he sat in the dock during his
trial. he did not seem to be greatly in
terested in what was being done in his
behalf. He looked TO be in better health
than when he was put on trial in March
last. He appears to be much heavier.
