Luther Will Sustained.

The verdict sustaining the viii of
Mrs. Augusta Luther, widow of Capt,
Joseph Luther of New London,
Conn, is upheld in a decision of the
supreme court of errors handed
down Friday.
In her will Mrs. Luther left the
bulk of her estate to Mr.. and Mrs.
David F. Armstrong of Groton and
relatives of Capt. Luther, cutting off
her sister, Mrs Charlotte Gaillard,
and daughter, Miss Bessie Gaillard,
of New London, Conn, and nieces
and nephews in Castine, Me-, without
a cent.
Miss Harriet S. Devereux of Cas-
tine, one of the nieces, appealed
from the probating of the will on the
ground of undue influence and tesla
mentary incapacity, and the appeal
was the subject of two trials, lasting
about two months each, in the SUI
perior court in New London. In the
first case the jury disagreed, and in
the second the jury sustained the
will, from which verdict appeal was
taken.
Both trials were bitterly fought
both sides Introducing alienists OF
nationwide reputation to show that
Mrs. Luther was mentally un-
balanced.

From pathos to bathos is easy go
ing. and when the subject is a dead
dog it does not take an official of the
eminence Of a governor long to make

Maine feels depressed that his
favorite dog, which he believes had
some traits which transcend those
of human beings, is dead. that IS ms
own grief, not discreditable to him
When he half-staffs a State flag, the
symbol of the State, to express ms
grief, he parades publicly his private
affairs and confuses personal feelings
and official duty. If dog, why not

OBITUARY.
MRS AUSTIN II 10Y

MRS. AUSTIN II. JOY.
Ida M, wife of Austin H. Joy, died
Monday afternoon at her home on
High street, after an illness of sew
eral months. She had failed very
rapidly the past week. She was we'll
enough to enjoy the visit of her son
Albert, from Los Angeles, Cal, last
month, and to welcome her daughter,
Mrs. Charles W. Campbell, of
Spokane, Wash, who arrived three
weeks ago to spend the summer with
her parents.
The death of Mrs. Joy causes sad
ness in many homes in Ellsworth,
where all her life had been spent,
and where she was admired by all
who knew her, loved by all who knew
her we'll, idolized in the home. Kindly
and sympathetic by nature, gracious
in manner, beautiful in the home
life, useful in the community life, her
death touches many hearts and
leaves a break in many circles.
Mrs. JOY was born in Ellsworth
April 3, 1855, daughter of the late
William B. and Harriet (Crosby)
Mitchell. She was married to Mr.
Joy on Nov. 1, 1879, and became to
him a true helpmate and home
maker. Always her home held first
place in her interest, but not to the
exclusion of other interests, making
for the best things in community
life. She was past president of the
woman's club of Ellsworth, and a
member of the Congregational
church.
She leaves, besides her husband,
three sons, Charles w. and Walter,
of Ellsworth and Albert A., of Los
Angeles, Cal, and one daughter, Mrs.
Campbell, of Spokane; also three
brothers, Arthur, Edgar and Will
liam Mitchell, and two sisters, Mrs.
Helen Whitmore and Mrs. George w.
Higgins, all of Ellsworth.
The funeral was held at the home
this afternoon, Rev. George S.
Brookes officiating. A profusion of
flowers bore evidence of the love and
esteem in which this beautiful life
was held.

Renewed Hope for Springer Heirs

Renewed Hope for Springer Heirs.
Interest in the Springer fortune is
being revived after a lapse of many
years, and the several heirs in Frank
lin, Fastbrook and vicinity are
earnestly hoping that part of their
hopes, at least, may be realized. The
following from western paper,
gives a brief outline of the facts of
the case:
"The city of Wilmington, Del,
has discovered that it does not own
the land upon which it is built, so
it has agreed to settle for $500, 000,-
600 with the Springer heirs, who
claim the property, In 1908, Carl
Springer, who owned the land by
virtue of a grant, leased it to a
Swedish church corporation for 100
years. The lease expired in 1908.
Meantime the heirs of Carl Springer
numbering more than 1 900. formed
an association to contest owner
ship of the land on which Whining
ton now stands, The case was bit
terly fought in the courts, and the
heirs won out, the court decreelng
that at the expiration of the lease
the property reverted to the Spring
er family.
cat a meeting of the Springer
Heirs association in Chicago recent
ly, it's attorney said that the city
will settle for 100000. 1t is
not known whether the offer will
be accepted. If it is, the money will
be paid in installments covering a
long period of years.
