NAUDAIN WILL CASE.

Judge Briscoe, of the Court of Appeals
on Thursday handed down the decision il
the case of Joseph c. Naudain VS.. JOSEPH
Coudon, executor of Mrs Caroline Naudain
The decision of the lower Court was af
frmed with costs.
Mrs. Naudain, the wife of the plaintiff in
this case and daughter of the late George
P, Whitaker, died August 10, 1898. By her
last will, made in 1895, she left various
bequests, and to her husband, Joseph C.
Naudain, the dividends from one hundred
shares of capital stock of the Whitaker Iron
Company, of Wheeling, West Virginia, the
shares being held in trust by her son,
Joseph Coudon, executor. and to revert to
her Iesiduary estate on Naudain's death
The executor is also empowered to vote the
shares, and is the residuary legatee under
will. The stock in question paid no divi-
dends for several years. Mr.. Naudain filed
caveat asking that the will be set aside on
the ground of undue influence and mental
incapacity. The issues were sent up from
the Orphans Court to the Circuit Court for
trial. At the December term 1898 the iurv
failed to agree and the case was tried again
in March 1899, verdict being rendered
sustaining the will. The trial brought out
some of the best legal skirmishes ever heard
in Cecils courtroom, Messers. John s. Writ
and A. L. Crothers defending the will and
Messers. Albert Constable and W. S. Evans
the plaintiff
The case was taken to the Court of Appeals
by Mr.. Naudain and was argued at the jan
uary term by Mr.. Constable for the plaintiff
and Mr.. Writ for the executor, with result
as above stated.-Cecil County News.

TOWNSEND ITEMS,

Mrs. Martha Goldsboro visited friends in
Colts on Wednesday.
Miss Abbie Sharp gave pound party on
Wednesday evening which was greatly en-
joyed by all present.
We are glad to be able to state the con-
dition of Mrs. Sarah Plummer, whose ser
ious accident was duly recorded in these

and her many friends hope for her speedy,
permanent recovery.
The local politicians are just now making
the pot boil at very lively rate, indeed
over fifteen cand idates have already an
nounced themselves, with promises of
several more announcements a little later
on. 1t all seems to become hotter and
hotter, as these spring days pass.
Mr.. John Townsend, Jr.. celebrated the
2lst anniversary of his birth on Monday
evening, the affair being very pleasing to
all present. Mr.. Townsend is one of our
most popular young men, and the presents
which he received in honor of the occasion
were quite numerous, beautiful and costly.
George Classick and Julia Spencer, said
to be the wife of John Spencer, of Kenton,
were arrested at Blackbird on Wednesday.
The husband of the woman claims that
Classick was boarder at his home and
that he won his wife's affections and ran
away with her. The couple were sent back
to Kenton on Thursday.
A pretty wedding took place at the NJ. E.
Church last Thursday evening, the con-
tracing parties being Miss Josephine Stats

end. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. George P. Jones and Miss Nina Scott

CANDIDATE FOR COMPTROLLER.

The friends Of Squire William r.
Reynolds, in Wilmington, have brought
him out as a candidate for County
Comptroller of New Castle County,
subject to the decision of the Demo
cratic party. As the Squire has many
friends in his party throughout the
county, it is thought he will make a
hustling candidate, and one who is
never caught mapping. The Squire
WAS an inspector of elections aG the
election of 1896 and pc formed the
duties of the Office in faithful man
ner, after which he was appointed
Justice of the Peace for 81. Georges
hundred by Governor Tunnel to sucr
ceed tie late Squire Ferguson.
