Juror i'm Whitesides Will Case
Makes Startling Statement.
The Deceased Was Well Known Here
and Her Son Started Paducah
Sewerage System.
MILLION DOLLARS INVOLVED

The contest at Chattanooga, Tenn,
over the will of the late Mrs. A. L.
whitesides, of that place, is attrac ting
great attention throughout Tennessee
aud surrounding states. Mrs. White
sides was well known in Paducah and
her son was the first superintendent
of the sanitary sewerage when Its con-
struction wss begun a few years ago
under Linn White, of Chattanooga.
Mrs. Wbitesides was at the time back
ing the enterprise, and has . number
of suits now pending In circuit court
here over troubles arising from the
contract.
A Chattanooga dispatch says Of the
will case
A sensation was sprung in the cir
cult court here when Judge M. M. Al.
lison called the jury in the whiteside
will contest case. involving an estate
Of nearly $1,000, 900. into court and
asked them IL any attempt had been
made to unduly inflence them in their
verdict. The jury has been dead locked
for more than . week. 60 g.
James Goodson, farmer who re-
sides at Hixson station, in this county
and who is one OF the .urors, stated
TO the court that ON Saturday last he
went into the Chattanooga Savings
bank and asked for change for . s6
bill. The teller pushed him elo in
silver. Goodson noticed the mistake
soon afterward and took il back. He
swore than when he returned the mon
ey the teller pushed out another pile
instead of taking the surplus IS.
The Chattanooga Savings bank is
one of the three executors Of the
whitesiue estate and the testimony OF
its officers was given to the jury sew
eral days ago, which was strongly in
fvaor of sustaining the will of the late
Mrs. ". l.. whitesides.
Judge Allison Immediately issued
attachments for the bank officials and
the court will begin . rigid investiga-
ton of the charges. 1t is probable that
other attachments ana bench warrants
will be issued.
The developments have created q
tremendous sensation, rs this is one of
the most noted cases ever tried in the
south. Mrs. Whitesides, whose will
is being contested, was Christian
Scientist, and the contestants, three Of
her sons and one daughter. are trying
to break the will on the ground that
their mother was mentally unbalanced.
Christian Science played a conspicu-
Gus part in the trial. The estate was
left to the grandchildren instead Of
tho children, hence the litigation.
Mrs. whitesidc was the widow of the
late Colonel James A. Whiteside. at
ono time president of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis railway,
and the builder Of that road.
The pank officials were last evening
discharged after being examined by
the court. The jury in the Whiteside
case was unable to agree after being
out eight days.

three brigades were encamped at Ba-

Admiral Farragut was to be the guest
of the occasion. With so distinguished
a visitor, the bandmaster of each regi.
ment strove to have better pro-
gramme than would be given by any
other. Besides the regular stock mu-
sic, Star Spangled Banner" Red,

and Dixie" the band of the Twenty
fourth Connecticut had a dozen of the
catchy airs of the day. believe they

For the occasion, Gen. Banks and
his staff were handsomely dressed and
superbly mounted. The uniforms of
Admiral Farragut and his staff were

such as could be secured on short no

but also lacked drill. A large while

Ohio's War Governor.


John Brough," said an old soldier
recently, was one of the strongest
characters in Western politics. His
pest friends never excused many
things that he did, but they stood by
MIN. He was honest beyond question,
and courageous to a fault. He was
aggressive and merciless in his aggres.
slVeness, but SO was Stanton, and, by
the way. ! remember that in 1865,
when Brough declined to he 4 candl.
date Tor reelection. 1t was understood
among the public men In Ohio that the
governor who had done so much for
Lincoln, who had been the strong arm
OF the war department, was to sue
coed Mr.. stanton as secretary of war,
But events that were epoch-making in
their influence followed one another
rapidly. Lincoln was assaspinated,
Brough sickened and died, and stanton
remained secretary of war.
Il remember the first week ia April,
1865, when all Columbus was excited
over Grants pursuit of Lee On Sun
day, April 0, four or FIVE of Us went
over to the state house hoping to hear
news OF Lees army. All the Offices
were closed. We raped at the door Of

our hats and started, yelling like In

May Not Go to New York.

The fact that the American league
was willing to give up Pitcher Dono-
van to the Brooklyn club providing
Clause was changed so as to make it
possible for 1t to change its circuit
without consulting the National
league Is taken as an indication that
grounds in New York have not been
secured, and that 1t may be necessary
to drop New York and take in another
city in order to have the circuit of
eight clubs. The National league
committee saw this point, and for
this reason refused to accept Dono-
van, believing that by letting the
clause stand as 1t was originally
adopted 1t was benefting the National
league. That being the case, the
Brooklyn club sacrificed player for
the benefit of the league, and will,
therefore, be compensated by the
league for the said player.-Cincinnat

Cleveland Wants the Pennant.

The Cleveland Baseball club, which
came with such a rush at the close
OF last season, Is out for C. pennant
fight next summer, and is making
plans that will bear study by other
arrangements. Cleveland was first of
all the clubs of the country to engage
Southern training quarters, selecting
the New Orleans grounds that were
used last spring with such good re-
suits. Armour will go South early
and will take with him no less than
thirty-two players, number of them
youngsters whom he will have no pos
sible chance to use this season, but
whom he wishes to see in action, for
future reference. The best Is good
enough for Cleveland, and all of the
players, as well as the manager and
the newspaper men who go to train
Ing quarters with him, will be quar-
tered at the st. Charles hotel. The
Cleveland management is one of the
best. 1t hustles for the coming play
