| am now about to pass upon 1t with
this evidence before me, not excluding
any part of it that has been admitted,
but deciding the case as II every part
of it was properly before the court
| in any event, whether objected to or
not unless it was ruled out during
the progress of the trial.
Now, it will be impossible for me to
take np every issue made by these
pc5tions in this case and discuss them.
1t perhaps could serve no useful pur-
pose for me to do that.
shall undertake only to consider the
main features and that briefly, con-
sidering the time it took to try it.
The salient angle in this case,-the
main feature of 1t, and upon which is
based all of the other charges, is the
execution and probate of this will; and
we will now consider that.
/ The will probated is an ordinary
typewriter will. 1t is dated the 2Srd
day Of May, 1892. 1t was filed for
probate on the 18th day of June, 1892;
and the will itself was probated on
the 10th day of the same month.
| The witnesses to this will We're Ida
NJ. Mcclure, Alexander Aungst and
NJ. E. Mcclure; and, among other evi-
dence that we have had, has been the
testimony of witnesses who were ex-
perts as to handwriting.
1t was said that the signature to this
will was forged; that it was not made
| by Thomas w. Cornell at all. And we
had a gentleman on the stand by the
name. of McClelland, and Mr.. Humph-
rey, who also testified. / paid close
attention to that testimony; and think
l have given it the weight it deserves.
On cross-examinatlon Mr.. McClel-
land was asked whether or not a mans
handwriting would be changed in its
general characteristics by the fact that
he had been Ill, that he was enfeebled,
or that he wrote in an awkward po.
sition, and he answered that the fact
that man was sick and enfeebled
would cause him to make wavy line
in the execution of the instrument--the
making of his signature, but wouiu not
cause breaks in the line. In thirty
minutes after that he testified that there

Didn't Want tho Route.

Selected.
"Senator Sulloway, OF New Hamp-
shire, tells a good one when he gets
warmed on the civil service question: y
said one OF the statesmen who came to
help the Michigan club celebrate
Washingaon's birthday. Somewhere
in the south a bright colored boy ap-
peared before the commission to be ex-
amined for the position of letter carrier.
"How tar is 1t from the earth to the
moon?" was the hrst question asked
by those who were to determine the
young mans fitness for the place he
sought.
"How iah am it from de earf to de
moon?'' echoed the applicant "My
Lawd, boss, if you's gwine to put me
on dat route don't want de job"
with that the young man grabbed
his hat and left as though he were
chased"

A Washington correspondent to the
Louisville Evening Post describes
Marion Butler as now man OF affairs,
that he has grappled with fortune and
has thrown her, that he is convention
ally dressed with beayer hat and looks
the millionaire.
He has an Office in New York. He is
of course out of politics and into get
ting all the money he can which is not
a crime in ltself but SO unlike the
stuff he was packing into people but q
few years ago.
Marion was the very apostle of dis
content and abuse OF money making
men, but it was always clear that his
apparent convictions we're but skin
deep. Contrary to Butlers .raving he
is alright to get rich ii he can do so
honestly, but it is not comforting to a
GOOD many that he famed and lashed
into partizan fury till the Democratic
party was not half Democratic enough
for 80 many of our people aud they
went off into third party then into
coalition and sre now in the party op
posed to what they contended for at
the outset OF the d.ssension. Il is

Cath ole Churches in Wake.

Raleigh Times.
The members of the Catholic church
have been very active for the past year
in building churches and spreading
their faith in this county, and this hat
created some excitement among the ig-
norant in a few localities. In one
place the Roman Catholics were con
founded with the Mormons and the
people were advised accordingly. A
farmer from ore section recently said
that his neighbors were discussing
nothing else hardly now.
However, this interest took a more
serious form at st. Theresa church, be-
tween here and Cary. A few nights
since the church was destroyed by an
incendlary fire. The fire occurred only
short time before the hour for SER
vice. A man travelling in that direc-
tion saw the door open and light in
the church. Before he reached there
the entire building was blaze. The
church, the organ and everything in
the house was destroyed. The loss is
placed at between $500 and $500
There had been, it is said, some threat
to burn the building. However, this
was only among few ignorant people
and the community IN general is very
indignant oyer the crime and will as
sist in rebuilding the church which
will be done Immediately.
There are now six Catholic churches
in Wake county besides in Raleigh
They are St Theresa, near Method st
Mary's, at Holly Springs; st. Hughes,
at Vance x Reads; St. Joeeph's, at
Garner; and one being finished at
Apex and Fuquay Springs. The
Church of the Holy Name of Jesus is
also being erected at Naze1eth.
commandments in these country
churches and those under course O
construction are now estimated at 70
or so. The total number OF Catholics
in the county including those in Raj
eigh, Is about $50 or 800.
The steep:e Of the church at Nazer-
eth is Is feet, and being on hill can
be seen for many miles.

''old jim

Exchange.
Little boys, do you know that you
cannot be cross to horse without his
telling On you? But, then, he is Just
as ready to tell when you are gentle
aud kind. Do you wonder how
dumb animal can 'teli?" Well, let
me tell you a true story, and see il yoti
cannot find out. My brother, who IL
a doctor, bought "Old Jim" from
gent 'emau who was slightly disabled
in beth arms, that is, they were no +
very strong. He frankly told my
BROTHER that he was selling the horse
because it was So restless and nervous
be was little afraid to drive him.
Indeed, he could only be kept still
long enough for anyone to getinto the
buggy by the hostler's standing at his
head and keeping tight hold OF tho
bit. After my brother bought him,
his whole nature seemed gradually to
change. His new master attended to
him entirely himself. and as he was
t Q gentlest, most patient OF men, jim
never heard harsh word, nor cxper-
fenced any thing but kindness. Tho
consequence was, he soon became as
gentle and patient as his master,
would stand for any length of time
without being fastened, ard scared
at nothing. We all wondered greatly
at the change, hardly knew how TO ac-
count for it., until one day the man
who had formerly taken care OF him
was called upon to driye him homo
for the doctor. When the man came
in front of him aud attempted to pat
him on the mead the horse started rs II
a snake had bitten him, and haidly
waiting for him to get hold OF tho
reirs, was off with tcund, pfancing
and dancing and plunging in The samo
nervous manner as before we got him.
Nobody could doubt that. this boy
had been cross, and cruel to the animal
in the stable. So you see horse can
tell his story very plainly In hi. lace
and by bis actions, 20 those who chot Sc

Mr.. Davis and the Italian.

Saturday Evening Post.
A pleasant story is told of Mr.. Rich
ard Harding Davis, and of how he once
forced his ideas OF courtesy upon anoth-
er, even at personal risk.
Walking near old Fulton Market,
New York, one morning, be eaw com
ing towards him an Italian tistdealer
and his wife-the wife with a heavy
fish basket balanced upon her head,
and the husband walking empty-hsnd-
ed and empty headed, so to speak, ty
her side.
Mr.. DAVIS flushed with indignation.
"See there !" he said t. ii r mpanion
Then he walked up to the Italian,
"Take that basket!' he commanded.
Garry it yourself, and be quick about
1t. We don't let women do this sort
Of thing in America"
The woman trembled and looked dep
recatingly from one man to the other
It seemed as il she would prefer to
carry two baskets rather than he even
the innocent cause of her husbands
anger.
The italian slowly gathered what
Davis meant, and his big fists doubled
up, and with an ugly scowl, he made
one step toward the novelist.
Although Davis is himself a large
and athletic man, the Italian lowered
far above him aud seemed made OF
knotted muscle.
But DAVIS was undaunted, and some
thing in his look, something In his
firm athletic build and posture, made
the Italian pause.
take that basket, and take tquick :"
cried Davis, more mandatorily than be.
fore and the Italian giant hesitated,
ufned t ward his wife, took the basket
from her head, and walked off with IT,
while the woman trotted silently at his
side.
