SUIT CAUSES
A SENSATION.

Hardinst urg, KY, Feb. 2.-(Spe.
cial. )-Souething more than a mild
sensation was created here last Friday
when a suit was filed by some of the
heirs of the late James Miller, against
Judge Matthias Miller, who was
formerly the administrator of that
estate In the petition eleven of the
heirs sue as plaintiffs. They allege
that the estate is really worth be-
tween $4,000 and s 100, 600, though
it was generally thought to be worth
only about $40. 900. 1t Is also charged
that Judge Miller bought out several
of the heirs for less than their re-
spective shares were really worth, aud
that, as he was the administrators, he
had no legal right to purchase any
share Of any of the heirs in the e.
tate. The prayer Of the petition asks
that the settlements of Judge Miller
as administrator be surcharged and
that judgment go against him for
such an amount as represents the
difference between the actual sum paid
the heirs for their respective interests
and the amount that they were really
entitled to receive.
The answer of Judge Miller will
not be filed until the first day of
court. 1t will probably be a general
denial of all the allegations in the
petition. He has employed Gen. D.
r. Murray to represent him, and
Mercer and Mercer are attorneys for
the heirs. A hard fought and inter
esting legal battle is anticipated.

Written for the News by F. NJ. S.
Why rejoice that spring is nigh,
Fleet time brings back the wintry sky.
Why rejoice that the days work is done,
When labor begins with tomorrow's sun.
Why rejoice dear child that vacations near,
When school begins with another year.
Rejoice to know when life is ended,
That happiness will como unblended
Rejoice that spring will ever last,
And toll and strife will then have past.
When vacation, child, will ever be,
When time is changed to eternity.
