Contenting Burrin’ WU1.
The celebrated Harris will case is up
in oonrt at Athens. An estate worth
8120,000 is involved, and the legal
battle promises to bo tho warmest
ever waged in Clarke couuty.
Mr. Harris died in 1894 at the ngo
of 82. Tho will was made in 1893. By
this will the estate worth ot that timo
$105,000, mostly in docks and bonds,
was bequeathed largely to educational
purposes. He left one of his sisters
j $2,(K)0 aud uothing to tho remainder
| of his own relatives. To one of hia
wife’s sisters he bequeathed $5,000,
and to another nothing, To two of
his wife’s nieces,however, ho bequeath
ed $30,000. All the remainder of tho
estate was left to educational purposes.
There are 40 heirs waging the con
test, and it is made on the ground that
Mrs. Harris’ nieces resorted to undue
influence and that he was a monomaniac
on the subject of bequeathing to relig
ious causes.
Disbanded Military Companies.
Adjutant General Kell has issued n
general order disbanding several of
tho military companies of lhe state.
Among the number is the Baldwin
Blues, ot Milledgeville, the Dalton
Guards nnd the Eartmsn Volunteers.
The Baldwin Blues is one af the
most historical militia organisations
! in the state of Georgia. The oompa
■ SS2d , «2 V lS of*acme TZ
most prominent men in tho state. In
tho days when the capital was at Mil
’ ledgeville it was tbo crack organization
of the state, and acted ua a kind of
: body guard to nnmerons governor*.
Tho Blues was one of tho first com
j panics to enlist through in the Confederate of tbo
service and went most
bloodiest battles of the civil war, mak
o splendid record for gallantry and for
bravery, which called forth high com
Under plimeuta from General George Dole,
whom they fought. The great
majority of thoM who went off with
the oompany wero killed, but a few of
' the older citizens of Milledgeville re
mained to tell the tale of reckless dar
ing and heroism.
At the close of the war tho company
was reorganized, new officers were
j elected, and the plan. organization Hinco then started it has
j out on a new
been connected with the second Goor
gin battalion, and has made at times
an cnviablo record among tho militia
organizations of the state.
The disorganization of the Baldwin
Blues leave. Milledgeville without mil
itary protection, and it is claimed by
tho officers of tho defunct oompany
that dissolution occurred because of
want of sufficient co-operation upon
tho port of tbo citizens of Milledge
ville. Much regrot is expressed over
the fact that the company has been d is
banded, and it is probable that some
effort will bo made looking toward re
organization.
The Eastman volunteers is arno a
well known company, and are dm
banded at thoir own request, while the
disbandmont of tho other throo corn
panies is mado by order of tbo state
for “interest of the service. ”
THE LAUKADA SAFE.
A Cablegram to Bishop Turner An
nounces Her Arrival at Liberia.
Tho uncertainty concerning tho fato
of the steamship Laurada, which sailed
from Suvanuah tho later part of Feb
ruary with a cargo of negroes for Li
beria, bas been dissipated by a cable
gram received by Bishop Henry M.
Turner, of tho A. M. E. church, last
Wednesday morning. without
So long a time had elapse l
nows from tho emigruut ship that
much uneasiness had boon caused, es
pecially among thoso in this section
who had relatives on board. It was
rumored that the vossol had been lost
with all on board, and as tho days
passed without tidings, this tho suspicion minds of
became a certainty in
many of tho anxious negroes.
Bishop Turner’s cablegram, how
ever, set all those fears at rest. Ac
cording to it, tho Laurada arrived
safely at Monrovia, tho capitol of Li
beria, on the 23d of March, after a
voyage without either serious sickness
or any deaths.
Tho cablegram announcing the
safety of the missing ship wob sent
from Sierra Loone, where, it seems,
she touched on her way back from Li
beria.
TRADE CONDITIONS.
lJradstreet’s Review of ltuslness for
the I’ast Week.
lJradstreet’s review of tho condition
nnd prospects of trade issued for the
past week eays:
‘‘There is relatively loss improve
ment in genoral trade this week, the
present partaking of a botween-soasonH
character. Wholesale merchants in
staple linos in many instances look
ahead with confidence to the autumn,
and in such departments as agricultu
ral implements, building materials
aud hardware thero is reported a mod
erate revival in domand. Moro fn
vorablo reports aro recoived from
Pittsburg, whore merchants have
had tho largest week’s trade thus
far this season; Buffalo, where tho
feeling is one of more confidence, and
from Atlanta nnd Now Orleans, where
request in wholosalo lines is moro act
ive. At Baltimore wholesalers aunouuce
only ft fair business and that interior
dealers have not disposed of stocks as
rapidly as anticipated. Tho movement
of goods from Galveston is not active,
but in view of tho largo Texas ucrengo
of cotton, moro confidence is felt that
fall trade will meet expectations.
Bullish speculation in the New York
stock market is cheeked by tbo renewal
of gold shipments ami the halt in the
Loudon market caused by events in

Quotations for southern pig iron have

in prices of iron and stool, higher quo

while print cloths and lumber ore
practically unchanged. Cotton goods
aro depressed, notwithstanding the
strength of cotton. Lower prices aro
noted for wheat, flour, corn,oats,pork,
