New School House for North WalpoIe.

NcW SShooi iiouSc III NUIu VdiPOic'
An architect, M. Smith, Of Boston was
in North Walpole last Monday looking
over the old wooden schoolhouse which
stands near the new brick schoolhouse ON
the hill for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not it would be practicable to
repair and make sufficient additions to it
to accommodate the grades for the next
five years.
For the past five years the records show
an annual increase in the public schools of
North Walpole of between so and 60
pupils. Both school buildings are now
filled to their utmost capacity and new ar
rangements must be made to accommodate
the increase which is estimated tor next
year. With this idea in mind the school
commit ee sent for the architect who came
Monday.
7 After thoroughly looking over the build
! ing now used the school committee and
architect have decided to make neces airy
additions and improvements on it. This
building now contains four rooms with
capacity of about 40 pupils each it is
heated by stoves and its conveniences are
ratherp DOR. An addition will be made on
the south side of this structure large
enough to be divided into four rooms, with
furnace, proper ventilation, ETC., and the
old part will be provided with furnace,
ventilators and other modern necessities
A meeting of the school district will be
called at once, for the purpose of making
the necessary appropriations. As the new
brick building must needs be painted and
repaired in the interior this will also come
into the appr opriation, swelling the total
amount which will have to be appropriated
| % fully $4,000.

ON BEHALF OF THE HEIRS.
To Save Part of Christopher Grny's
Estate For Children.

All of yesterday Judge Falligant listen
ed to arguments in the case of the II. B.
Clafiin Company and others against Chris
topher Gray e Son and others, one of the
most important now pending in the court.
The special features presented to the court
yesterday grew out of the demurrer to the
plaintiffs petition filed by the executors,
heirs and legatees of the estate of Chris
TOPPER Gray.
The plaintiffs in the case contend that
under the Will of Christopher Gray his
executors were vested with authority 10
carry on for five years the two businesses,
in Savannah and Augusta, respectively,
in which the testator was a partner, and
to that end to use the general estate. This
includes, according to their contention,
about $4,000 worth of real estate.
The executors contend on behalf of the
estate that the only property they were
authorized under the will to use in the
continuance of the business was that al
ready embarked therein and that the
realty belonging to their testator al the
time of his death is in no way subject to
debts contracted after that time in car
rying on business by the executors and
surviving coparners. This realty the ex-
ecutors say they are trying to save from
the general wreck and ruin of the estate
They have, therefore, filed a demurrer
to the petition of the plaintiffs, asking
that the court strike that portion of the
petition that seeks to subject this realty
to the demands of the general creditors
and it was this demurrer and the points
of law that is raised for the courts con-
sideration that was being argued on yes
terday.
The arguments were made by Mr.. Wal
ter S. Chisholm for the executors and
Col William Garrard for the general cred
itors Col. Garrard will conclude his ar
gument this morning, and Mr.. r. r.
Richards will then address the court ch
behalf of the Manufacturers National
Bank, a preferred creditor in the case,
that is seeking to subject to it's lien cer-
tain of the real property situated in New
York. The executors and other parties
defendant represented by Mr.. Chisholm
do not seek to contest the validity of this
lien and virtually consent to its foreclos>
ure.
The general creditors however, assert
that il is invalid and that the bank has
lost its right to come upon the property
remaining in the estate by sleeping upon
some of it's rights, and not availng itself
of past opportunities to make its money
out of securities it held. The case pre-
sents some interesting propositions of law,
and IL is not likely that Judge Faligaut
will seek to decide il at once. It is more
likely that he will hold 1t under advise
ment. and render his decision only when
he has had opportunity maturely TO de-
termine what the law requires him to
hold.

NEW WORKERS WE'RE WATCHING.
They Were Interested In Dewey's
Reception In Savannah.

Admiral Dewey's reception in Savannah
was watched from afar by some who felt
interest in it. There was a desire to see
just how much enthusiasm might be
awakened by the distinguished visitor. 1t
has been learned that a prominent gentle
man in this city was requested by persons
in New York to report upon the degree TO
which the people might be wrought up by
Dewey Whether the New Workers. were
interested as friends or foes politically,
could not be learned.
Certain it is, though, that the enthusi-
asm over the Admiral was greater in Sa-
vannah when he was here than it has
been since his announcement for the
presidency. He seems to have but few
supporters, One gentleman who is for
him, has been on a very careful search
for others of like mind Yesterday he re-
ported that he had found another, and
that he now has four on his list for his
prospective Dewey Club

AN OLD PIECE OF MUSIC.
March Dedicated to Republican
Blues, Published in 1850.


Blues, Published in 1850.
An old sheet of music which may have
some sentimental value, was on exhibition
yesterday at the cigar store of Mr. Ed
Byck. The piece is entitled Republican
Blues March," and was printed in New
York in 1860. Its chief value for the
frontispiece which is a large woodcut,
containing the likeness of two of the then
members OF the company in full uniform.
One is man of medium hight, with full
beard, supposed to be DR. Mcfarland for
many years health officer of the city and
well remembered by many of Savannah S
citizens. The other likeness is of a tail,
clean shaven man, and is believed to have
been intended for Capt. John w. Ander-
son, who was for several years, captain of
the Blues, and who was the father of Gen.
Robert H. Anderson.
Both are in fult dress uniform, consist
ing of spiketail coat of dark blue, with
gray breast with three rows of silver but
tons; white trousers and sword knots of
red silk The uniform was evidently a
handsome and striking one.
The inscription at the bottom of the
mage is, composed and respectfully ded-
Gated to the officers and members of the
Republican Blues of Savannah, Geo., by
I. Louis. New York. Published by Firth
Pond &, Co. SAT Broadway. Savannah, w.
d. Zogbaum e. Co.
1t has been suggested that 1t might be
well for the Blues to get hold of this old
piece of music and make use of 1t on the
occasion of their escort to the Confederate
Veterans on Memorial Day.

Insurance Association of Philadelphia, was
begun in the United States Circuit Court,
before Judge Speer and jury, yesterday

The case has been transferred on mo-
ton of the defendant from the state to
the federal courts the defendant being

ing in Worth county. Martin Jeffords held
policy of life insurance in the company

on July 20, 1896 Jeffords died of consump-
