GILMAN ANNOUNCED 1T

He Had Adopted Mrs. Hail.

New York. April 1.-THE World will
say tomorrow:
To guests whom he was entertaining
at his mansion at Black Rock, Million

made formal announcement of the adopt
ton of Mrs. Helen Potts Hall as his
daughter and heir to his entire estate.
Mrs. Hall, it was learned yesterday
Thursday will summon many who were
present on this occasion to aid her in
proving title to the fortune OF over
100000.
There was house party at Black Rock
at. the time, Nov. 1, 1890, and following
the oral agreement between Mrs. Hall
and himself, Mr.. Gilman. probably at din
ner, told the assemblage that he had TAX
en- Mrs. Hall as his adopted daughter. On
this public announcement Mrs. Hall will
make her fight for the estate against the
millionaire's relatives. Charles H. Brush,
who represents the Gilman heirs, said
IT had anticipated that Mrs. Halls
claims would be based on some such for
NAL declaration as is said to have been
made on Nov. / and at other times. 1t
is no surprise to me. Such claim, how
ever, will have no legal standing"

THE CoNFEDERATE REUNION.
A Gathering of Cadets of Western
Military Institute Desired.

From the Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette.
The Confederate reunion at Memphis
next month will afford opportunity for
many gatherings of Old companions and
friends of the ante-bellum period. The
military colleges of Kentucky, Virginia
and other Southern States furnished many
cadets who made capable officers and
soldiers for the volunteer service of both
sections during the civil war Many gave
UP their lives and suffered grievous
wounds and a number survive. II is pro-
posed by number of the cadets of the
former Western Military Institute and OF
the Frankfort institution 10 take adVant-
age of the occasion at Memphis for such
a reunion. There were many boys from
Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky. Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the caro-
linas, and Maryland, and quite NUMBER
from states north of the Ohio. Their
military service was in the armies of both
sections and was no small factor In the
strengthening of each. Those who sur
vived the war and are now living are cd
men, and would gladly shake hands In
memory of youthful friendship and de-
light In talking over their college days.
Among those killed or mortal.y wounded
during the war the memory OF Omer H.
Weaver and F. =. 1elf or AfkanSas, Mer-
Ger Garfield and Fiorian Cornay Of Louis
lana, Van Leonard of Georgia, Joe Love
of Texas and many others are still che
ished by their old companions.
Among those who achieved distinction
during and subsequent to the war are
Judge Charles T.. Fenner of Louisiana,
Robert c. Newton and Robert H. Crockett
of Arkansas, Capts. r. l.. Upshaw and
VIM. M. Johnson of Texas. Judge Latham
of Memphis, Capt. w. NJ. Hazard OF Geor-
gia, NJ. r. Tunno of South Carolina and
Col. George Towle Of the United States
army, of New Hampshire, and William 70.
Woodruff of Little Rock.
1t is hoped that the proposed reunion
will be largely attended. and, In memory
of early friendships that all sectional and
partisan sentiments will be forgotten OF
laid aside for the occasion

THE KILLING OF WHITLEY.
The Case Now on Trial in Augusta.
Deputy HOss Testifies Against
Negro nefeudanfs

Augusta, Ga, April 1.-THE trial of the
negroes, Henry Adams Scott and Walter
Scott, for the assassination of Deputy
United States Marshal Alex Whitley, I'M
der an indictment for conspiracy and
murder, began to-day in the United States
District Court. District Attorney Erwin
and Assistant District Attorney Leaken
appeared for the government, and Recor-
der c. A. Picquet and Louis Brooke rep.
resent the defendants. About hundred
men were called before a jury was Sc
cured and only two citizens of Augusta
are on it.
Deputy w. A. Hoss of Thomson, was
the first witness. He said the raid ng par
ty consisted of Deputy Marshal Whitley,
Deputy Collector Griffin of Atlanta,
Charles Stalneker and Henry Whitley of
Augusta, and himself. He tod of the ar
rest of the white man, Elliott, under his
house and then the advance upon the
mouse of Lum Scott some time between
midnight and ? o'clock. When the door
was pushed open by Whitley, Lum Scott
was standing inside with gun in position
to shoot. He fired and the load struck
witness on the hand knocking his lantern
to the ground and putting it out.
AS Whitley stepped inside the house,
the door closed behind him and several
shots were fired. Others hurried in, saw
Whitley standing in the room and Lum
Scott with gun to his shoulder. Stat
maker shot Lum Scott, who fell on his
side, with his gun under him. At this time
a flash was followed by a report from a
rear room and Whitley was killed. The
officers arrested in the rear room the two
defendants and found three guns.
The effect OF this testimony is TO refute
the theory that Whitley was killed by
Lum Scott, who was also killed, and to
show that Scott had already received his
death wound when a shot from the rear
room killed Whitley. Several witnesses
detailed the same incidents. The case will
probably occupy all Tomorrow

UNDER WATER TO THE POLE.
Herr Kampe Explains His Plan to
the Vienna Society.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
London, April 6.-At a recent meeting
OF the Vienna Geographical Society Herr
Kampe outlined his plan to reach the
North Pole in a submarine boat now being
built at Wilhelmshaven.
The boat will be elllpsoid In form, with
a major axis OF seventy feet, breadth
of 20 feet and displacement Of 800 tons.
The boat will hold sufficient air to last
five persons fifteen hours, the carbonic
acid gas being removed by combination
with caustic soda. She VIII have both
horizontal and vertical screws, the latter
for ra sing and depressing the vessel The
motive power will be petroleum, OF which
80 tons will be carried. This amount Is
calculated to be more than five times
what is necessary for a trip from Spitz-
bergen to the pole and back
In the fifteen hours during which tho
boat will be able to stay under water 1t
can cover fifty miles. IL will be submerg-
ed at the edge of the land of ice sur
rounding Spitzbergen and will be steered
toward the nearest open water TO the
north.
Herr Kampe does not think that tho
ice pack Is of greater depth than ~
feet, and the boat can descend 100 feet.
If, after six hours, no opening In the
fee can be discovered the boat will return
10 the last opening, but II the pack IL
thin attempts will be made to blast and
open II.
Herr Kampe does not think that the fee
pack continues unbroken In any direction
for more than 1--WE miles.
