WILL EXHUME BODY.
Believe That Mothers Coffin Con-
tains Valuable Documents.

New York, July IA son and
| two daughters who did not share in
/ the will of the late Mrs Caroline
SchilIing, who died at her Brooklyn
residence IN 1896, announce that they
will take steps at once to have the
body exhumed in the belief that a
servant concealed several deeds and
other papers in the coffin and thus
prevented them from sharing in their
mothers large estate.
This step followed the arrest Sun
day night of Elizabeth DOnegan, an
aged servant who at the time was be-
lieved to be starving and concealed
in whose clothing the hospital nurses
found nearly 500 in cash, a dozen
large diamonds. other jewelry and
bank notes representing deposits of
nearly $4,000. AS it was known that
Eliza beth Donegan was not of a saw
ing disposition, mystery prevailed as
to how she came by the fortune.
Reading of the detention of the Wo-
man, one of her former employers,
Mrs. I. NJ. White, informed JOS Schil-
ling, the son whom Mrs. Schilling
had cut off in her will, that the DON
egan woman had related a circum-
tances which might be advantageous
to him. Mrs. White said that Miss
Donegan had told her that just be-
fore: the funeral of Mrs. SchilIing she

these documents We're buried with
the body and that if they were ever
found the matter would cause a sem

Joseph Schilling. whose home is
in Albany, and his two sisters, who
were also disinherited conferred and
have decided to ask for the opening
of the grave, as they believe that
their mother intended that they
should share in her estate. The
deeds mentioned are believed to be to
Manhattan property, which it was
thought Mrs. Schilling owned. but of
which no trace was found after her
death. Neither could the executor of
her estate find many valuable jew
els. which her children say she pos
sessed.
Pending the opening of the grave.

New York, July 1.-THE request of
Mrs. James P. Hoover that the police
seek her missing husband was the
first intimation the public had that he
was not buried last Sunday afternoon

after an unexplained absence of five
weeks, she and his relatives identified
a body which had been floating in
New York bay off Staten Island, as
that of her husband, and she spent
$125 for the funeral last Sunday,
which was largely attended. She went
into deep mourning. a
Several hours after the funeral"
said Mrs. Hoover, IT was startled by
the return of my husband whom I be-
Iieved that I had just buried. He ex-
planned that he had been away look
ing for work and did not want to
come home until he found a job. He
remained with me until Monday night,
when he went out to meet some
friends. and since then he has failed
to return and would like to have the
police find him."

"The Old Homestead"

Denman ThompSon's welcome
play, THE Old Homestead" with its
double quartet, its first-class scenery,
it's inimitable situations and above ALL
it's inimitable portrayal of New Eng
land rural life-partaking OF all that
is wholesome and good in humor and
pathos-was presented at the Opera
house last evening before a large and
keenly appreciate audience.
Though the famous old play has been
presented in this city many, many
times, it was clear last night that it
has lost nothing of it's charm for the
old and young-and it is safe to say
that it never will. So long as first
class companies are used in the pro-
duction of 1.-The Old Homestead for
the Interpretation of it's various char
acters and so long as the human heart
loves that which is good and true, so
long will this play be welcome in any
community-simple though it be in
conception and even though it contains
much of eXaggeration.
The characters last evening were all
finely taken and nothing could be
criticised, so that individual mention
would be to name the entire cast. The
double quartet was a delight to hear,
and the scenery was all that was re-
CURED. Augusta theatre goers will
doubtless be as glad to see "Uncle
Josh" the next time he comes as they
were last evening.
