SummervilIe To-day.

Rome, Ga, April 1.-two of Romes
largest and busiest stores on two of the
most prominent corners, were closed to-
day with large black crepe bows on their
doors. The dark tragedy at SummerviIe,
which is twenty-five miles north of Rome
cast a gloom over the city, as two broth

sweetheart to death live here and are
among Rome's most prominent mer-
chants.
The funeral of Mr.. Arlington took place
this afternoon at 3 o'clock in this city
from the residence of his brother. II. H.
Arlington, and was attended by a large
number of the friends of the families.
The funeral of Miss Cleghorn will take
place in Summervi.le at II o'clock to-mor-
row morning.
Congressman Maddox and Judge Henry
went there this afternoon to attend the
funeral tomorrow. 1t is rather remark
able that the Congressman from this dis
lrlct the judge of the Superior Court and
the Mayor of the city of Rome are all
Summerville men, and lived there until
within the hast few years. No new details
of the shocking tragedy have come to
light, except that letter is believed to
have been left by MIR. Arlington. He told

She Claims to Have Entered in
Possession of on Death of Million
aire Gilman-Was Promised the
Property if She Would Continue to
Live With Him as His Adopted
Daughter.
Hartford, Conn, April 10.-Action was
begun in the United States Circuit Court
here to-day by Mrs. Helen Potts Hall.
of New York, for the recovery of her al
legged share in the millions of the late
George f. Gilman of Bridgeport. Mrs.
Hall declares that she is the adopted
daughter OF Mr.. Gilman and brings her
action through her next friend, her broth
er Frank G. Potts, against the Bridge
port Trust Company as administrator of
the Gilman estate, and against George
w. Smith of Bridgeport as receiver.
After estimating the value of the estate
at more than $1,5OO,OOO, the complainant
says the property came into Mrs. Halls
possession at the time of Gilman's death
and there remained until she was forcI-
bly, ousted by the defendants
For several years prior to Mr. Gilmans
death, continues the complainant, he, hay
ing conceived strong personal regard for
Mrs Hall, adopted her as his daughter,
and she became member of his house
hold and resided there until his death,
managing the household and rendering to
him the nhadienpa Of a no la11ohtar
She Was to Have the Property.
On or about Nov. /, 1900, it is alleged
Mr.. Gilman entered into an agreement
with Mrs. Hall that if she would continue
to live with him as a daughter until
his death she would then be entitled to
all his property, both real and personal
fully and to the same extent as if
she were his natural daughter. The COM
plainant claims that she has fulfilled her
part of the agreement. She states fur
Their that none of the relatives lived on
intimate terms with Gilman, but, ON the
contrary, they had for many years been
estranged from him, and some were hos
tile to him, and that Gilman failed to
make a will and died intestate.
The complainant asks for d writ of in
junction perpetually enjoining the Bridge
port Trust Company as administrator of
the estate from interfering with the
business conducted by the Great American
Tea Company; that the Bridgeport Trust
Company deliver to the complainant such
assets as remain in its hands, in like
manner as if she were the sole heir and
next of kin of the deceased.
The complainant further asks that
George w. Smith, the receiver, who
claims to have an interest in the estate
be enjoined from maintaining the same.
