CAPT. DICKERSON’S WILL
CONTESTED UPON THE GROUND
OF UNDUE INFLUENCE.
How the Estate was Disposed of in Be
quests to the Heirs—Mrs. Waddell's
Proportion—Her Caveat to the Will—
Interesting Developments Awaited
Before the Superior Court.
Among the cases on the calendar of the
Superior Court, for the June term, is the
trial of a caveat to the will of the lat#
Henry J. Dickerson, who died in this city
last June. The case, frsm its nature,
promises to be one of considerable inter
est. The estate involved valued, ill
found numbers-, at about $75,000, an
amount much less than it was supposed
to approximate. The executors of the
will are Capt. 11. F. Willink, Capt. S. P.
Goodwin and Capt. H. M. Branch—the
latter a son-iu-law of the deceased. The
caveat was filed by one of the daughters
I of Mr. Dickerson, Mrs. Amanda A. Wad
i dell, wife of Hugh Waddell, a North Caro
linian by birth, formeriv a resident of Sa
vannah for many years,and now of Wash-
ington, D. C.
The case was heard before the Or
dinary’s Court last fall, and from the Or
dinary’s judgment sustaining the will an
appeal was taken by Airs. Waddell. The
will, after giving the widow ol the de
ceased certain policies of insurance taken
out <m his life,amounting to about $21,000,
then gives her all the household furniture,
plate and pictures, aud a life estate in the
family residence, corner of Abercorn and
York streets. After her death that in
remainder is given to the grandson of the
deceased, Arthur Schaff, a young man
now about 10 years old, a son of Major
A. Schaff, who was a grandson of
the celebrated statesman John Forsyth,
and provides that out of the income from
that property the young man is to be
educated.
The four houses on Abercorn and South
Broad streets are given to the widow and
Mrs. Sutcliffe and Mrs. Branch, daught
ers of the deceased, and the voung Mr.
Schaff during the life of Mrs. Dickerson,
or until she may marry and then to be
divided between the children of Airs.
Sutcliffe and Airs. Branch.
Airs. Waddell Is given out of the not
income of the “rest and residue” of the
estate an annuity jof S3OO during her life,
provided the net income amounts to $3,000;
ana in case it is less than that her interest
is and minished in the same ratio.
This bequest is understood to be con
siderable less than to the other heirs and
being unsatisfactory is the cause of the
contest.
There are other bequests and devises of
personal property, but m>ne of any es
pecial interest. The grounds of the cave
at are understood to be want of capacity
and undue influence. The case excited
some interest during its hearing before
the Ordinary last November, and at the
coming trial before the Superior Court in
teresting developments are anticipated.
Hou. T. 31. Norwood represents Airs.
Waddell, and Denmark & Adams the ex
ecutors. The case will come up on Tues
day. A large number ot witnesses have
been subpamaed on bpth sides, and from
the amount of testimony to be offered the
trial will probably occupy several days.
A MISSING TICKET AGENT.
Investigating the Accounts of Ticket
Agent Mcßussell, of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway.
It was reported yesterday that John
Mcßussell, Ticket Agent of the Savannah,
Florida amt Western Railway, had left
the city, and that he was short in his ac
counts. Inquiries were made by a re
porter of the Morning News of one oi
the officials of the road last night, and it
was learned that Mcßussell was given a
leave of absence several days ago, and
as he had overstaid his time an examina
tion was being made of his accounts, but
that up to late yesterday afternoon no
discrepancies had* been detected. It was
therefore supposed that when the ab
sentee was taking his holiday and
came to realize the fact that
he had overstaid his time he
imagined he would I>-discharged, and de
cided to proceed to New Orleans with
some friends or to seek employment else
where. Later in the evening the examina
tion seemed to indi - ate that Me Russell was
short several hundred dollars. The
examination will not by completed,
however, for some days, hence the
exact amount of the defalcation, if any,
is not known. Mcßussell had heretofore
been regarded as a young man of excel
lent character, and his promotion to liis
late position was owing to his good con
duct in the positions he occupied in the
company’s service.
The reporter learned from one of the
officers of the road, who knew Mcßussell
quite intimately, that the latter acted
strangely for several days befoie going
away, as though his mind was affected.
TRYING TO BE A COW BOY.
A Drunken Negro Makes Things Lively
in a Market Restaurant.
Charles Grimes is the proprietor of res
taurant No. 4 in the market basement.
About 12 o’clock last night a
drunken negro wandered into his
place and sat down at one of
the tables and amused himself by
smashing a castor and what dishes were
within his reach. Before he could be got
under control he jumped up and ran out
of the basement up the stone steps at the
eastern end of the market, where he fell,
cutting a deep gash in his forehead, but
managed to get into the street, where
lie made a brief race towards
Johnson square. The restaurant man
gave chase and yelled “Stop thief!” The
Burglar Alarm police in the company’s
office, on St. Julian and Whitaker streets,
hearing the disturbance, ran out and
captured the negro, and held him until
the arrival of the city police, to whom he
waa turned over and taken to the bar
racks.
The affair created quite an excitement
in the vicinity of the market, and a crowd
was attracted by the noise and shouts of
the pursuing restaurant keeper.

Death of Samuel Edward Axson.
The funeral of Rev. Samuel Edward
Axson, son of Rev. Dr. I. S. K. Axson,
the venerable pastor of the Inde

took place at Rome on Friday. He was

Rome from 1"!>6 till last fall, when he re
signed his charge and came to Savannah
to visit his father. While here his mind
became affected, and the efforts of skilled
phvaiclans failed to reach his ease. His

family. During the seventeen years he

COTTON INSURANCE RATES.
Savannah Warehouses Not Up to the
Standard of the Tariff Association —
The Rate to be Fixed in a Few Days.
The Alorning News a few days ago
~’ated that Air. Clarence Knowles, Presi
dent of tu * Southeastern Tariff Associa

Ky., had arrived in the ciij*- 5 * 8 a
tee in behalf ot the association to ins^f^* 1
warehouses where cotton is stored, and to
fix the rate of insurance, according to their
grade, compared with the grade adopted
by the association for a standard ware
house.
These gentlemen, accompanied by
Messrs. E. T. Harden and C. F.
Prendergast, representing the local
Board of Underwriters, and B.
Duckworth, Esq., R. D. Bogart, Esq.,
Captains W. AY. Gordon and John Flan
nel v and Col. J. L. Warren, representing
the Cotton Exchange, made a careful in
spection of all the warehouses, aud on
Friday submitted a verbal report hs to the
standards of the different structures to the
local Boai'd of Underwriters. The report
will be submitted in writing in a day or
two, and will be quite a lengthy docu
ment. It will describe the construction
of the warehouses, and point out in what
respect they fail to come up to the stand
ard adopted by the Tariff Association. It
will also show the rate
of insurance fixed on such
warehouses, and suggest what altera
tions or additions should be made in order
to iusure their being graded among ware
houses of the first class. The report will
also show that none of the warehouses in
Savannah are constructed accord
ing to the standard prescrib
ed by the association, although
one or two of them are referred to as
nearly up to the requirements.

Sporting Notes.
The games to be played during the pres
ent week in the Georgia Base
are:
Stars versus Central Citys, Nlonday
and Tuesday.
Oglethorpes versus Dixies, Wednesday.
Stars versus Browns, Thursday and
Friday.
Dixies versus Oglethorpes, Friday.
The Young Oglethorpes and the Ama
teurs will play a match game at the Base
Ball Park on June 5.
The Augusta Chronicle understands
that the Browns are to have a professional
battery out and out.
The John L. Sullivan Base Ball Club
has been organized at Augusta.
The Courtney-Ross race, at Oak Harbor,
N. Y., has been again postponed until
Monday, as the water yesterday was very
rough.
A three ton cutter yacht, 60 feet long
and 3 feet beam, is what the Field calls a
plank on edge. The craft has recently
been built for fast sailing in New York,
and is probably the narrowest vessel ol
her length ever constructed.
The Committee of Control of the New
Market, London, subscription rooms have
decided that the Derby bets must be set
tled on Monday, even if the objection
against St. Gatien is sustained. The race
must be awarded to the horse that came
in first.
Charleston lias brought another club
into the field, the Actives, with the follow
ing nine: J.H. Conlon, captain and Ist
base; George Ivelly, catcher: S. Cox,
pitcher; W. Cameron, s. s.; J. Mclner
nery 2d base; J. Lange, 3d base; T. Cos
grove, 1. f.; J. Hanley, c. f.; J. Hall, r. f.
Augusta watches every move in the
Savannah diamond. The A 'ews, in noting
the Oglethorpes’ defeat of the Dixies,
hoists its flag and says: “The Dixies had
best put Lincoln back in the boles if they
hope to touch the Augusta clubs this sea
son; for if they can be wiped out by the
Oglethorpes they will not stand much
chance here. However, the Oglethorpes
have never played Augusta as yet, and
we will not be too previous. It will take
a strong nine, though, to whip Augusta
this year.”
The match between Arthur Padelford’s
cutter yacht Ileen, which was at this
port several weeks last winter, and
(Elrick’s centerboard sloop Hiluegard,
which has excited so much interest, iu
yachting circles at the North and in Sa
vannah, where 3lr. l’adelford, is so well
known, is oil', without any chance for a
race. The owners of both vessels claim
the fastest time, but through disagree
ment unon conditions of a race they fail
to arrange any terms, and the match will
not take place.
Capt. Foster, of the Augusta Browns,
savs that the Browns nine will not be set
tled until two or three games are played,
for he has such good material that he can
not decide who to place on the substitute
list. A catcher will be on hand this week,
and with the new pitcher, Gibbons, the
first, second and third bases, it is rumored
outside, will be filled by Hull, Foster and
Rice. Charlie Heard will of course play
short stop, and Albert Stulb will cover
left field. The other two field places will
he closely contested, hut it is thought by
many that Jackson and Hoops will till
them, with the other first class players
held in reserve.
William England, the English pugilist,
who is in this country with the avowed
object of seeking a match with Sullivan,
is five feet ten and a half inches tall and
weighs 200 pounds—fighting weight. 190
pounds. He was formerly a stevedore and
accustomed to carry great weights. This
has strengthened his back, toughened his
sinews and developed and hardened his
muscles. He is very broad shouldered
and has the tapering wedge shape of
Charley 3litchell. “I am in this coun
try,” said England, “to seek a bout with
Sullivan. I have never seen him, but I
am confident that I can stand up before
him and give him as much as he sends.
I prefer Sullivan to all other comers.”
When questioned as to his record, England
said that he had fought the brothers Good
son in England, Tom Goodson and
“Sugar” Goodson, and won both matches
with hard gloves.
St. Joseph’s Male Orphanage.
The report of Father J. M. O’Brien, in
charge of St. Joseph’s 3lale Orphanage,
Washington, Ga., will be found on fifth
page. It will be read with interest by the
members of the Catholic Church through
out the State.
STILL LOOKING FOR HINCKLEY.
The Police In Receipt of Telegrams
Yesterday from Detective Pinkerton—
Gen. Anderson Thinks Smith is Not
the Man.
A 3roRNTNG News reporter called on
Gen. R. H. Anderson at the police bar
racks last night to learn whether he had
received any additional telegrams rela
tive to Hinckley, the defaulting bank tel
ler, who took $96,000 from the West Side
Bank of New York, Gen. Anderson stated
that the flrsl telegram avas received here
7 hours after wivfil of steamship
Juniata, and that it stated that a man
named W. A. Smith had sailed from
Philadelphia on that vessel and was sup
posed to be W. A. Hinckley, A reward of
$1,1)00 was olfered for his capture. The
man was said tQ be five teet seven inches
in height ?„j<i inclined to corpulency, so
ne looked heavier than he really was.
The xveight was given as 105 pounds. He
was dressed in a plain suit of
clothes. He bad a florid complexion,
blue eyes. a head bald clear
over the crown to the back of the neck,
where there was a fringe of brown hair.
He was said to have a brown moustache.
The man Smith had a sandy moustache and
was not corpulent, and the General said he
was satisfied from the description and
from a photograph taken ten years ago
that Sm.th was not the man that was
wanted. Hinckley is described as being
a good conversationalist, a quick
talker and of a nervous tempera
ment, while Smith, ‘according to the
description given by Capt. Daggett and
other officers of the ship, was not quick
spoken or of a nervous temperament, nor
was he a good conversationalist. He is
also a much younger looking man than
Hinckley, according to the photo
graph taken ten* years ago.
He said further that he received a
second message from Pinkerton yesterday
asking if Smith answered the description
or the photograph, and that he replied
that the first telegram was reeeiven seven
hours too late, but that the officers ot the
Juniata and some of the police who saw
Smith at the Ocean Steamship wharf
stated that he did not, and that be had
gone to Macon where lie had relatives.
LITHOGRAPHIC ART IN SAVANNAH.
A Mammoth Eight-Ton Printing Press.
The new lithographic Dress which has
has just been erected in the Morning
News Steam Printing House deserves no
tice from its being the on I j press of the kind
in the South and of the largest size in use.
In addition to the many perfecting ar
rangements used on other machines the
Campbell Printing Press and Manu
facturing Company have added many
improvements of their own, which
make it a splendid and almost perfect
piece of mechanism. Its register is so
accurate that the most elanorate work in
any number of colors can be printed with
the utmost precision. This is truly re
markable for so large a machine, and
would have been considered an impossi
bility a few.years back before steam power
was adjusted to this kind of work. If
Sennefelder, the lather of the art, could
come amongst us once more he
would be agreeably surprised at the
immeuse increase and wonderful re
sources of his discovery; at the time he
first printed from stone, we are told that
he could only take impressions 10 or 12
inches square and used a vertical pressure
of many tons which as often as not smashed
the stones instead of printing from them.
This press takes a stone 32 by 40 inches,
and enables from 2 to 100 copies (accord
ing to size) of a piece of work to be
printed at one impression, thus
reducing tho cost of production to a
minimum. The mammoth and complica
ted machine weighs nearly eight tons, but
runs as smoothly and almost as noise
lessly as the useful and übiquitous sew
ing machine. Although tho Morning
News Steam Printing House has always
considered itself in a position to handle
any quantity of color or commercial work
that might be entrusted to it, this new
machine trebles its facilities, and it is not
claiming too much when it says it could
do all the lithographic work required by
Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and
Alabama.
The Morning News management will
be happy to show this press and its other
facilities for printing, book binding, etc.,
to any of its lriends and patrons who will
favor the establishment with a visit.

Wanted, a Band Stand in the Park.
Our concert of last Friday evening at
Forsyth Park was a success, and seemed
to be greatly enjoyed by the thousands
who w T ere present. But we were not so
happy. It is not pleasant to stand on the
level ground, surrounded by a dense
crowd, and play, nor is it possible to play
well under such circumstances. We need
a large and comfortable band stand,
where we can be seated and be undisturb
ed by the crowd. Our liberal minded em
ployers have given us a magnificent set of
instruments, and lurnished us a room and
gas free for our rehearsals, and we are
willing to give the time and application
which will make the band one that the
city can take pride in. We are also wil
ling to play often in the Park, but we
must have suitable accomodations. If
our citizens will provide the band stand
we will provide the music. “
A small contribution from each of those
who enjoy our music will pay for a hand
some structure that will be an ornament
to the Park. Will someone second the
move and start the subscription list?

In consequence of the general stagna

bear its share, and many importers aud
manufacturers have been trying to realize
on the stock to meet their payments, I
have been able to secure several lots of
Ladies’and Gents’ Watches and various
assorted lots of Jewelry at a considerable
reduction from usual prices. Yet, to car
ry this additional stock is not profitable
at all. The only way to make anything
of these purchases, is if 1 can again un
load, hence I will offer genuine bargains
in these goods. 1 intend to 6ell them at
manufacturers’ and importers’ actual
cost, w-hich will leave me a fair margin
and afford my patrons unusual* chances
to secure excellent goods at low prices.
