MRS LIEB'S ESTATE.


Mrs. Catherine Merger yesterday turned
notes amounting to nearly $1,000 over to
the clerk of the Circuit Court TO await
the adjustment of the estate of her sister,
Julia Lieb. Mrs. Lieb formerly lived in
Troy, o., and came to live with her sister
in this city about two months before she
died. She had $1,000, which she gave to
Mrs. Merger to be used for caring for her
While she lived. After she died Mrs. Mez-
ger kept the money, claiming 1t belonged
to her by gift of her sister. She loaned
$4,000 to a Catholic priest, who was erecting
Yesterday the Union Trust Company, adj
ministrator of the estate of Mrs. Lieb, flied
a petition with Judge Walker, of the pro-
bate department., asking that Mrs. Merger
submit to an examination and tell what she
had done with the money. The petition also
asked for the recovery of the funds and
for a restraining order to prevent the pay
ment of the note until the estate is set
tied. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court,
transfer of the funds in the morning, and
in the afternoon heard the case. which
was settled by both parties agreeing that
the money should be deposited with the
clerk of the court to await a settlement.
The contention of the trust company
was that a son in Troy, o., had been cut
off from receiving any of the estate. There
was no will. Mrs. Merger says she paid
$500 to Fred Brown, a relative, for selling
the property, and the difference between
the money then on hand and what is now

COAL AND GAS INTERESTS.
Men from Shoals, Ind, Think Martin
County Is Rich in Both.

c. B. E~yers, Of Shoals, Ind, who is
United States consul at Zanzibar. but now
on cave of absence until Jan. /, and j. b.
Lloyd, a farmer and manufacturer of
Shoals, are at the Columbia Club. They
are here in the interest of Martin county
gas and coal. which it is said has by recent
Investigations and development been shown
to be of much better quality than hereto
fore supposed, and almost nexhaUstible.
Coal. Mr.. Rogers says, has been mined i'm
that county for twenty-five years, but only
on a small scale, it being done principally
by farmers, who dug into the fields in a
crude way to supply themselves with fuel.
Coal of unusually fine quality. it is said,
underlies the whole of Martin county. The
gas, which was discovered about one year
ago, has proved to be of fine quality and of
great volume. The gas pressure from the
wells Is SAID 10 be many times that experi-
enced In the gas belt during development
there.
AT Loogootee the pressure has for a year
been so strong that the Phoenix Plate
Glass Company has twice since it installed
its plant been compelled to put on new
pressure reducers in order to keep from
burning out the melting pots. Loogootee
is about seven miles from Shoals, where
the pressure and volume of gas are said 10
be as great. Several new companies have
been organized there recently for the pur-
pose OF developing the natural resources.
and efforts are now being made to interest
manufacturer in the northern gas belt. 1t
is claimed Martin county has a great adj
vantage over the northern gas belt for the
reason that no matter how short a time
the gas may last, when il is exhausted
there is right at hand. even upon the same
land which produces the gas. a supply Of
coal. The land about Shoals is also said
TO be exceedingly rich in the elements
which are used in the making of Portland
cement. The manufacture of Portland ce-
ment. 1T is claimed, will in a few years be
one of the great industries of that section
of the State. In Lawrence county, about
fifteen miles from Shoals. a company is
now erecting a plant TO cost about $4,000
for the manufacture of this cement, and
several others are being planned.

that is no reason why the girl should not

Much of the un%happiness, not to say mis-

the cooking, and in probably nine cases IN

the mistress of the household is grossly

THIEVES
One Boy Goes to Reform School md
Another to County Jail.

William Shaffer, who was sent to deliver
a package for the Star store and collected
$50 and went to Terre Haute, was yester-
day sentenced to the Indiana Reformatory
for from one to three years by Judge Al
ford. of the Criminal Court.
Fred Goliah, fourteen years old, who was
charged with stealing horse blankets, was
sentenced to the Reform School. Several
months ago his mother filed an affidavit
of incorrigibility in the Criminal Court,
and promised to bring her boy before Judge
Afford for a hearing, but never came back.
Judge Afford struck the former charge
against him off the docket, and sentenced
HIM on the charge of larceny.
John Oliver pleaded guilty TO charges of
burglary and grand larceny, and was sem
fenced TO four months in the county Jail
on the first count, and sentence was Sus-
pended on the second. He was charged
with stealing brass from factories. He is
eighteen years old, and, as he had not been
in trouble before, the judge was lenient.

Four Runs-Also Made Three
Double Plays in Snappy
Style.

With a two-bagger by Pennington. st.
Louis University won a most exciting game
from the clever Smith Academy team at
Handlan's Park Saturday afternoon. Smith
Academy had tied the score In their half of
the ninth by a great rally in which they
scored four runs. Carroll had held the
Academy boys to but four scattered hits up.
to that time and done exceptionally good
work In the box. He struck out eight men
and allowed but one man to pass to first.
Although he hit Marshall. the latter did
not break his neck trying to get out Of the
way.
Eight errors were scored against the
Jesuit lads while their opponents managed
to misplay but half that number Of times
n those four were not as costly as the
eight made by st. Louis U.
The feature Of the playing was the very
snappy article Of ball put up by the inter-
scholastic team which always made the
right play at the right time and seldom lost
any, time doing it. In proof Of this, three
double plays stand to their credit.
The game was a peculiar one inasmuch
as as.t tine hS : my y, players hsrd ',cs seem Witt to the be

With two out and Price apparently very
steady, it looked as II ar extra inning would
give Smith the much-desired chance, but
the clever Donohue came up with a nice
single hidden in his sleeve and planted it
very safely behind third. Pennington hit a
ny to left which looked very much like a
foul, but Umpire Lambert called 1t safe
and Donohue scored on it while Pennington
would have been caught at third on the
play. II the game had not been won when
