Estate Case to be Tried

year or more, but it had repeatedly beer
postponed because of the illness of Vice
Chancellor Grey, whose death occurred 6
few weeks ago.
The case will accordingly now be heard
before the new Vice Chancellor, E. B.
Leaning. Some of the best legal talent
in South Jersey will represent the con
testants and the court proceedings are be-
ing looked forward to with unusual in
terest by the many people who have been
following the case. Judge Joseph FL

for Worth
The story of the death of old Firman
Dubel and his aged housekeeper, Ann
Clutch, two years ago this January, the
excitement following the discovery OF
musty bank notes and gold coins hidden
in their home in Stacy street, and then the
claim of Nathan Worth, who was a ten
nant in one of Dubel's stores at No 300
High street, to the cream of the old mans
properties in Burlington, followed by the
refusal of Ernest Watts, executor Of the
estate, to consider the claims, which re-
suited in the carrying of the contest into
the courts. Worth's claims comprise the
properties now occupied by him at 303
305 High street, the Salvation Army bar
racks in East Union street, and the two
Dubel properties in Stacy street, neal
Union. One of the latter is the old Dubel
home, which has been known as the
house of the hidden treasure" since the
discovery of hidden wealth there after the
death of Uncle Firman,' as Dubel was
familiarly known during his life time
Worth bases his claims on bills of pur.
chase which he holds to the properties
named and which are said to bear Dubel's
signature. 1t is over the genuineness OF
these papers that the lawyers will make
their chief fight.
The case is scheduled to come up OF
the 25th of January.

Sudden Deaths.


Miss Elizabeth T. Carr died at her home
on Brainard street, on Tuesday, after 8
very short illness from catarrhal pneu-
monia. She had not been in good health
for some time, and on Thursday was taken
with heavy cold which gradually grew
worse, with fatal result. Miss Carr was
the daughter of the late Joseph Carr, ST.,
who is still remembered by many of our
citizens. She was born in Mount Holly
and lived here all her life, occupying the
house where she died for over 80 years.
The death of Miss Carr removes all her
family with the exception of one sister,
Mrs. Naomi T. Kingdom, of Burlington.
Miss Cars funeral services were held
at her late residence on Friday afternoon
the remains being inferred in the Mount
Holly cemetery. A grave that had been
to receive her body. 1t was the last rest
ing place of Lafayette Keeler, a young
man who came to Mount Holly and worked
at the shoe trade. He met Miss Carr and

preparations had been made for the wed
ding when the young man was stricken
with smallpox
The young lady took up her residence

as to his condition. The malady resulted
fatally and instead of wedding there
was funeral at which the sad girl could
not be present but was compelled to sit at
a window and see the coffin containing the
remains of her lover carried from the
house.
Young Keller was buried in the Carr
lot at the cemetery and Miss Carr ex
pressed a wish to be buried with him
when her end came. That request she
never recalled, on the contrary it has been
repeated frequently during the past years
and it was respected on Friday when the
grave was opened aud she was laid to rest |

Two freight cars were derailed in East

nearly an hour to commuters.
Union evangelistic meetings, held by

From present indications the campaign,
which will last month. will be one of
the most vigorous religious movements
ever attempted in the city.

Chairman Parsons made was simple. The
republican vote, plus the Hearst vote,
would sweep the deck.
But there is a revolt in the republican
ranks Some of the leaders object to the
fusion while others who accept it do so
with a grimace. Enthusiasm is not
detachable anywhere. There are repubh-
cans who would prefer defeat without to
victory with Mr.. Hearst. There are
others who want victory with him, but
fear he cannot show the strength he did
two years and one year ago.
Now. the question is. how many re-
publicans will sulk. or go to the polls and
vote for Tammany? There are weil-in-
formed men who assert that Mr.. NC
Clellan was elected mayor over Mr..
Hearst by republican votes. When cleo
ton day arrived those republicans who
most objected to Mr.. Hearst, fearing his
power. went squarely against him by de-
serting their own candidate and voting
for Tammany. In this way Tammany $
bacon was saved, and Ivins was pushed
back to third place.
a solid republican vote united with the
Independence League would do the Susi-
ness for Tammany next month. But a
solid vote canpot be obtained There are
republicans in New York as fond of Tam
many in a pinch as democrats. 1t will
b. nee csssary, therefore. for Mr.. Hearst
10 produce an extraordinarily large vote
through the medium of his league in
order that this republican detection be
offset. Can he do it,

Joking the Undertaken.

Editor Harvey of the North American
Review reyives an old joke in this form:
..Of the undertaker's home life we know
practically nothing. Does he preserve the
official demeanor through meals and al
other times when free to mingle with the
family? Does he romp with his children
Does he even have children? Would 1t
be proper for an undertakerS vile TO
fetch such obvious distractions into the
world? What. we wonder. would be the
view of our chief magistrate upon that
point? And. as a matter OF TACT. did any
one ever hear of the son or daughter OF
an undertaken? That progeny is not un-
common to eXeCutioners we know. be-
cause in the old days the business. then
more profitable than 1t is now, was kept
in the family through many generations.
Whether a like thrifty spirit animates the
undertaking clans We cannot say, but II
so il would be interesting to know
whether male child is taught to subdue
his emotions from the beginning and
forced. perchance. to wear black mltts IN
the cradle.
Strange that Mr.. Harvey. a semi
htterateur. should have forgotten his
Martin Chuzzlewit.' There are no
pleasanter people in that book than MIR.
Mould and his family. The lady of the
house is represented as plump and pretty
and merry. and the two daughters are in
her image The gloom of the business
never passed the threshold of the family
apartments Sairy Camp was charmed
by the domesticity she encountered there.
And maybe Mr. Harvey has never heard
of the young man whose ardor for
pretty girl he had met al party was
for a moment chilled by the discovery
that she was an undertaker's daughter.
But he soon returned to his allegiance.
and had no reminder of matters except
that occasionally the young lady would
recall a circumstance by the fact that on
that day papa had funeral.
There is a sad side. of course. AS, for
instance. the case of an old colored woman
who married the second time and was
asked by her mistress how she liked num-
Der two.
Hes a good man she replied, but de
niggers round h re is maxim fun of him"
What's their objection"
'.Dey say he is slow motioned. Well he
is. He do go along with his head down
looking rejected (dejected).
Well, If he's a good man l shouldn't
care so much for appearances. Still. you
might speak to him pleasantly about ii.
and maybe he'll appear brisker on the
street.
Il done tell him. and he laugh and say.
I'm Altered dem niggers is right. l driv
for a undertaken five year, and maybe L
done got de funeral poke in my bones.
But a good many old jokes are out of
date, and those at the expense of the doc
tor and the undertaken were best laid
away. They are numerous, and have been
enjoyed by nobody more than those at
whom they are directed. But, as mat
ter of fact. We cannot be too respectful
toward the first man We see in the world.

republicans and the Hearstftes in New

ing address to the voters:

Rear Admiral Evans.

AS the fleet is to make the journey to

ment has gone. Rear Admiral Evans
not only knows his business. but enjoys
the prestige of marked personal popular
ity. He is misa appraised in the title of
Fighting Bob" Other men have suffer
ed in the same way. Good sailors and
soldiers are all fighting men. That is
their business But they are not scrap
pers or testy swaggerers, as that title
suggests Admiral Evans is all right. and
has earned the distinction that this COM
mission gives him. He dates back to
the civil war. in which as youngster
he bore small but gallant part, and has
a meriIorious record 10 date, including
some brilliant work at Santiago. He has
less than a year longer to serve, and his
last days afioat are, appropriately, among
his best
