THE a CLAY ESTATE
Mrs. Brock to Attempt to Get
Share.
A Number Of Wills We're Left BY
the Sage Of Whitehall -.
Castle. A>s.,.x..s
THE DECEASE WAS INSANE

Lexington, KY, September S-Mrs.
Dora Brock left here tonight, accom-.
panied by Attorneys James Andrew
Scott Of Frankfort and j. W. Norwood
Of this city. to offer for probate in the
Madison county court at Richmond,
the last will of General @. Clay, the
famous Kentucky duelist, who recent
ly died. Mrs. Brock Is the former wife
of General Clay. He married her
when she was a domestic in his
kitchen, end undertook to educate AMI
make a lady of her, but she grew
restless and he divorced her. He
made five wills in all. He left the
bulk OF his property to her, even after
she had married.
The will which Mrs. Brock has Is
dated March 2s, 1901. 1t leaves to
the young woman $4,000 in govern
ment bonds and valuable mineral lands
in Clay county, and TO the United
States government his beautiful estate
known as Whitehall. Among the men
who are named as executors with the
girl in this will were A. J. Alexsn-
der, Hon. Davis Thornton and Frank
Chinn. a codicil gives Dora Clay
power to name whomsoever she de-
sires to act with her in .he manage
ment of the estate. The will makes
small requests TO servants.
The natural heirs of General Clay
will offer for probate an undated will,
leaving the property to Brutus @.
Clay, son. Hon. J. A. Sullivan
represents the heirs and he will claim
that General Clay for the past twelve
years has been in such q condition
mentally as to disqualify him from
disposing of his property by will and
that, besides, the estate is deeply in
debt to the Clay heirs. Others of the
wills make various persons benef-
Charles, and they will be on hand to
press their claims. The whole issue
will rest with General Clay's sanity.
A jury shortly before he died declared
him insane.

SALVATION ARMY
WILL INVADE THE KENTUCKY
FEuD DISTRICT.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. S-A dep"ta'
ton of Pittsburg Salvationists, under
the leadership of Staff Captain White,
will leave Wednesday for the feud dis
trict Of Kentucky and undertake the
work of reforming the feudists. The
objective point is Breathitt county.
The party will be made up, outside OF
q few officers at work in this city, of
members of the local army, who vol
unteer TO give their time to the work,
and it is likely that by the time the
party is ready to start next week there
will be quite . formidable array OF To-
cal workers in the party.
The reception which the members OF
the army will receive in the counties
to be invaded is . matter OF grave
doubt to many interested in the army
work but those who are going seem TO
have no fear Of the manner in which
they will be treated.

Albert Maze. an Englishman.
Suicides at |. c. Hospital.
Took An Awning Rope and Hanged
Himself in the Toilet Room
Last Night.
HAS NO MILY HER +

Albert Maze. a native born English
man, committed suicide by hanging at
midnight last night at the l. O. rail.
road hospital He had been in the hos
pital a short time only and did not
seem to be in the least demented as
some typhoid patients are, and the
doctors can not understand his action
and attribute the suicide to despond-
ency.
last night about p o'clock he arose
from his bed and went 10 the toilet
room. \ nurse who was on duty saw
him go but thought nothing of the
matter until he had been gone some
time. She then went into the room
and found his dead body suspended
from the cross beam of ono of the
toilet closets by a small rope which
had been procured from an awning on
the back porch.
Maze had slipped out unobserved
and stolen the rope and had evidently
planned this means of suicide. His
feet we're hanging clear Of the floor by
several inches and he had made an ex-
cellent success Of his undertaking.
The nurse called Patrick McGarrigal,
the night Waterman, and cut the body
down.
Maze was about 80 years Of age and
born in England. He came to Paducah
from Canada on July and was EN-.
ployed in the local |. @. shops as a
machinist until September ?, when he
was taken i'll of typhoid fever and
placed in the hospital for treatment.
He seemed TO like solitude and rarely
ever said anything to the nurses or
other patients in his ward.
The remains were taken to Nance
and Spaulding's undertaking shop and
prepared for burial. The funeral will
be conducted by the machinists union
OF which Maze was a member. An
attempt will be made to communicate
with his people, but the remains will
not be held ON this account.
Coronre Peal held an inquest at Q
O'Clock this morning at Nance's and
the verdict was that the deceased came
to his death from hanging himself by
the neck, and that no one is to blame
for il but himself.

fever twenty years ago left me with
weakened Kidneys and have had
some pretty severe attacks of back
ache, some of them so bad that / have
had to crawl around the house on my
hanns and knees. There was no rest,
neither day or night, despite the use
OF a vast amount of medicines and
more than one prescription. With very
little expectation that | would get re
