A WITNESS AND LEGATEE. fIV ONE PERSON OCCUPY BOTH POSITIONS IX REGARD TO A WILL f Interesting Qnenllon of U Rained in Superior Court—Appeal From Judge Ferrill’a Decision, Admit, ting to Probate the Nuncupative Will of Bridget fuleane, Made the Issue—Dora Smith, the Sole Lega tee I'ntler the Will, Was One of the Witnesses to Its Execution and It Was Contended That She Could Not Be Both—Continued Lutil Mon da)’. Judge Falligant and a jury were engaged yesterday In the trial of the case involving the probate in eolemn form of the nuncu pative will of Bridget Culcane, or Ander son. In the Court of Ordinary the will had been probated and it was on appeal from the decision of Judge Ferrill, admit ting the will to probate, that the case had come before Judge Falligant. The case involves an estate amounting in value to about 51,200, which belonged to an old woman, Bridget Culcane, or, as she was sometimes called, Anderson, who died in the early part of the present year. The old woman lived by herself in a tum ble-down house in the eastern section of the city, and died from the effects of the fright produced by the efforts of a negro desperado to enter her dwelling through the window. She never recovered from this fright and died within a few days fol lowing the occurrence. After her death a nuncupative will, that Is, one not committed to writing, but made by word of mouth and on her dying bed, was admitted to probate in common form. The will directed that the old woman's < s tate should go, after her death, to Dora Smith, a woman living In the neighbor hood, who had been kind to her in life and watched and nursed her during her last days on earth. The law re quires that a nuncupative will shall be proved by the evidence of three witnesses and this will was so proved. One of the witnesses, however, was also the sole beneficiary, and when the will was offered for probate In solemn form in the Court of Ordinary, a caveat to the application was filed by Agnes Crotty, the niece and sole heir-at-law of the dead woman and testatrix. Judge Ferrill dismissed the caveat and admitted the will to probate. The case was appealed to the Superior Court and It was heard on yesterday. During the morning session the evidence for the proponent of the will was con cluded, and at this stage of the case Col. P. W. Meldrim. who conducted it for the eaveatrix, moved the court to direct the jury to return a verdict, declaring that Bridget Culcane died In a condition of intestacy. This motion was. made on the ground that the law required three witnesses to the execution of a nuncupative will and that but three had been produced, one of whom was the sole legatee under its provisions. Col. Meldrim's contention was that a beneficiary under a will could not take, if he or she were also one of the witnesses to Its execution, and that for this reason the legacy to the proponent was void. As it was the only legacy the whole will was void. While the bene ficiary was a competent witness to prove the execution of the will, contended Col. Meldrim. she could not take any legacy that It bestowed upon her. In answer to this contention and in op position to Col. Meldrim's motion. Mr. W. H. Weiie, appearing for the propon ent, argued that the section of the code which prohibited an attesting witness to the execution of the will, referred only to subscribing witnesses, those, that is, who signed the will in the presence of the testator and each other. As the code made use of the word "subscribing," it was evidently meant # to be exclusive of wills In which there could be no subscrib ing witnesses from the very nature of the case, and that, therefore, nuncupa tive wills were not meant, nor benefi ciaries under nuncupative wills prevented from taking their legacies by reason of the fact that they were also witnesses to the execution. The motlcti was argued at both the morning and nfiernoon session. Col Mel drim opening and concluding. When the erd of the arguments was r ached. Judge Falligant announced that he would over rule the motion and permit the question to go to the jury, under Instruction em bodying h> view of the law. The Introduction of evidence on behalf of the eaveairix was then taken up and continued until the adjournment of court, In the early evening. At the adjourn ment Judge Falligant announced that the case would go over until Monday morn ing. as jto-day would be consumed by wepk at chambers and the hearing and consideration of evidence and arguments upon a number of oasis that are assign ed for Ihia morning. The point raised by Col. Meldrim's mo tion is one of the most interesting, from a legal stehdpoint, that has been recently discussed in the courts of Savannah and Chatham county. The fact that Judge Falligant overruled the motion can scarcely be taken to mean that he disa grees entirely with Col Meldrim's conten tion, as he may give In charge to the jury principles of law virtually alike those counsel for the eaveatrix has de clared to be correct. * • WAS A VALUABLE DOG. Figured at What He Had Saved, He Was Worth $.5,000. The talk at the (-estaurant table had turned upon dogs. Then one of the party contributed a story that he had received from the manager of a factory. It was about a dog (hat had proved of no little pecuniary value to the company. In fact, the. animal was the best paying Invest ment the concern had ever made. In the language of the manager, the story was as follows: "Out at our mill we have a dog that Is worih 15,000. I mean he has saved the company that much motley. How did he do It? Why, easy enough, and In a way that was a pleasure to the pup at the same time. \ "You see we used to be troubled great ly by rats. There was a perfect horde of 'he creatures In the building, attracted by the grain. They seemed to thrive In •pile of everything we could do, and the way they cut Into sacks and bags brought tears to my eyes. Why, It used to cost me s2l a week to pay live negroes to do nothing but sew up bags that were cut npen by those pesky varmints. I esti mated the loss in grain at fully the same f mount per week. "Somebody wanted to know why I didn’t buy a deg. Well, I didn't think much of the Idea, but after a lime a pup was of fered me for $2. The Investment wasn’t °f such colossal magnitude as to break 'he company, so I decided I would try fhe effect of a black sr.d tan on the rats. "Scon the clog was thoroughly at home, 'fhe way he took m the pastime of des troying those, rais filled my heart with 3 >’ He made the place hateful to them. by, he would sit at a hole for hours at J time, and woe to the rat that poked nut his noe\ The rodents decided It was too dangerous a Jdnt for them, and with in six weeks from the appearance of the dog we n-ver saw another. I guess It was •he moral force exerted by the animal for be could never have killed all the little beasts. Now I have figured up that the com bony Is In $3.00) by my purchase. That Is Ciolng very well on a f2 Investment, don’t ' nu think? The darkies were cut out of their Jobs, but companies' money haa to saved.’' THE WEATHER.

Judge Norwood investigated the merits and demerits of the charges brought by the solicitor general against sixteen negro men and women who were arraigned be fore him in the City Court yesterday morning. The court decided that ten of the defendants were guilty of the offenses with which they were charged and they were sent to the chalngang for varying terms. The others were discharged. The cases were the usual assortment of petty larcenies and minor assaults' and were devoid of public interest. The con victions and sentences to the gang were fewer than are usual at this weekly criminal session of the City Court, and the county force will not receive Its cus tomary number of recruits. An unnatur al spasm of virtue seems to have afflicted the criminal classes of the community and they have been exceptionally quiet for the past two or three weeks. It is rather feared that the calm is but the proverbial one that precedes the storm, and that when the tempest doe* break, It will take the form of a tornado. DECLARED IT A MISTRIAL. Jury In Scott Bankruptcy Cases Never Able to Bench Agreement. After struggling all night with the prob lems submitted to them for their consid eration, the Jurymen in the case of W\ R. Leaken, trustee of the bankrupt estate of A. C. Scott, against A. C. Scott and Dixon, Mitchell & Cos., wandered Into the Superior Court room yesterday morning and reported that they had not been able to reach on agreement. As the foreman of the Jury further re ported that there was no present or fu ture probability of an agreement being reached. Judge Falligant withdrew one of the panel and deolared a mistrial. The case resulted from the effort of the trus tee to draw into the general fund the ac counts that had been transferred by Scott to Dixon, Mitchell A Cos. shortly before the application for a discharge In bank ruptcy was filed in the United States Dis trict Court. The general creditors con tended that these payments were prefer ences, and therefore were void. COLORED TEAMS TO FLAY. Chnthnms and the Atlanta* Wllf Line Up To-day and Monday.

The Devotional Work of Chief Im portance to Members. A large number of Epworth Leaguers gathered at Grace Church last night to hear Mr. W. M. Howard of Balnbridge, first vice president of the state organi zation, speal. of the work of the society. By his position Mr. Howard Is the head of the devotional work of the society, and it was to this phase of the work that he devoted rncst of his time last nitrht, though the other departments came In for some notice. Mr. Howard was introduced by Mr. R. J. Davant. He said that iq no department of church, work was he so wrapped up as that of the Epworth Leagu\ and exp ain ed his interest by saying that the League W'ork reached a class that was not brought into contact with the regular church, ‘'the young men and women, who, having left the Sunday School and hc'ng not affiliated with the church, go drifting on the tide of life without compass and without guide." To such the League In its work, he raid, has an uplifting and saving In fluence. "Some of us," he continued, "do not re alize to what a great body we be'ong and Us possibility for good; In this state there are 13,000. Leaguers and in the whole coun try, 3U0.C00. We belong to a body second to rone in the country, and one whore work ard aim is of the noble3t kind, that of saving souls." In discussing tome of the methods of holding League meetings Mr. Howard said that whenever he heard of the liter ary and social mcetirgs receiving more attention and being better attended than the devotional meetings, he knew that the members were net doing the League's work, but had become a club, “and for clubs," he said, "we have no room In the Methodist Church." His advise to all leagues was to get nt the head of the devotional department a Christian man or woman, whose life Is consecrated ter God’s service. “Then." he said, "there ought to he at least one meeting a week. Again don't turn your devotional meetings Into prayer meetings, where the leader takes up all of the time himself; the primary idea of the league devotional meeting is to have everybody in it take part, and if each of you fail to go to these meetings pre pared to take part, you are neglecting your work. Again more energy must he put into your work, why, the amount of Interest and energy that some leaders put Into their meetings would not run a pea nut stand for a week, much less build up a strong and useful society.” NEW ROADS IN THE SOUTH. Statistics That Show the Activity That Hb* Prevailed. In its semi-annual review of the rail road construction in the United States the Railroad Gazette has some Interesting sta tistics relative to the activity of this kind in the South. It calculates that during the six months ending June 30 last the following mileage was built in the various Southern states compared with the first six months of 1899: States. 1900. 1899. Alabama 37.25 14.25 Arkansas 62 83 Florida 55 60.5 Georgia 117.07 48.6 Kentucky 4 Louisiana 26.7 62 Maryland 7 19 Mississippi 119.5 85 North Carolina 27 30.14 South Carolina 101,86 60.2 Tennessee 53 7 Texas 164.5 25 Virginia 44.4 1.75 West Virginia 45.75 10.5 It will he noted that In several states the new mileage Is considerably more than last year, although 1899 wa* noted for the activity In railroad construction throughout the South. For Instance, Georgia has constructed 117 miles this year, or over twice as much as during the first half of 1899. Mississippi has near ly 120 miles to its credit, South Carolina 102 miles, while Texas has constructed 184 H miles, compared with twenty-five during the first half of 1899. and seventy three miles more than during the entire year. Although Virginia built sixty three and three-quarters miles of tine In 1899, already It has constructed nearly fifty mile* during the present year. West Vlrglnta-has a record for more new mile age this year than during the entire peri od of 1899. It will be remembered also that the price of rails end other material has great ly advanced within a few months, which has undoubtedly caused the postponement of the building of several lines. Yet. In cplte of these fact*, It will appear that during the present year a more extensive mileage will be buiit in the South than during Its predecessor. In a letter to the Manufacturer*' Rec ord Mr. E.

"This policy business Is run in the most open, shameful, audacious and outrageous way imaginable," remarked a buainess man yesterday afternoon, who had, apparently, been quite shock ed by discoveries he had made. "Why, do you know, I was passing through Congress street lane, between Bull and Drayton streets. Just now, and I saw a mob of about 150 darkleW congre gated there. Wondering what was the matter, I went to see, "Well, I had heard of policy shops. I knew there were such things in the city. In fact, I had reason to believe there was one In that lane. When 1 saw that crowd I just decided I would investigate. Walk ing up to the place from which the crowd was coming, I glanced In. 'Hello,' I asked, what's in here?’ “ 'Dis Is de "Original Genuine, salt," answered one of the darkles, and 1 saw that the place was fitted up with all the appurtenances. There was the board with the name of the Joint, 'The Only Genuine,' or 'The Original Genuine,' or something of the sort, posted up, and beneath It were a lot of numbers. The place was a gambling outfit all right enough, and 1 wondered how it could be carried on right there in the heart of the city. "Right across the lane there was an other of (he Joints. I glanced in there, too. It had the name 'Chatham' posted up, and business seemed to be brisk with it, as well os with the 'Genuine.' The colored population was certainly well rep resented in the two lay-outs, and there had evidently been a very interesting drawing. I didn't hear who had made winnings or how the day's sport bad gone, but it was a revelation to me to see how the thing was worked so openly right in Congress street lane in the busiest part of the city. Nobody seemed to think any thing of my looking in. That was taken as a matter of course, a thing of such common occurrence as to make no differ ence.” Probably the business man's surprise would not ha<’e been shared by hundreds of persons in the city who are more famil iar with the policy business and the extent to which It prevails. He was almply on his way from work and happened to ob serve the outpouring from the two shops after the drawings. Ordinarily, the event attracts no special attention. It Is pretty well understood that the darkies who in vest in tickets congregate to see how their luck stands to them, and the dissolving crowds usually excite no comment. Policy is the darkies' game. It is In dulged in almost exclusively by their race, though it Is said the proprietors of most of the shops are while men. who op erate the Joints with the assistance of negro clerks. Drawings usually occur twice a aay, and those who have Invested their small change in tickets are often on hand to see how fortune treats them. RECRUITS COMING RAPIDLY. Savannah Famishing Her Qnoln to Help Out ''Uncle Snm." The prospect of a war with China seems to have awakened the war spirit again if the enlistments that are now be ing made in the army may be taken as an index of popular feeling. At the local re cruiting office the number of enlistments averages one a day and the applicants are of a decidedly better stamp than usual, both physically and socially. Another no ticeable fact about the applicant* is that they are by a large majority men who have seen service with the army raised during the Spanish-American War. four fifths of the applicants being men who saw service with the Volunteer troope. The governmem, too, seems to desire an unusual number of recruits, and to the end of securing them Is establishing re cruiting offices in many of the small in terior towns of the state. In some of the regiments orders have been received to recruit the compapy strength te-80. men above the reguar strength In order, doubtless, to provide for possible discharges, and keep the reg iments up to their full strength. The government Is particularly anxious to recruit for the Hospital Corps, and. to secure more men, has reduced the age limit of th's branch of the service from 21 to 35 years, to 18 to 35. This Is one of the most attractive branches of the ser vice both In the work and the pay, pri vates receiving $lB, and having the possi bilities of an appointment at the end of three months service to an assistant stewardship, paying $25. and the stiff further prospect of a salary of $45 upon passing an examination In drugs and medicine. ttser, We have a nice line of cider In bottles, pure and genuine, from the celebrated establishment of Mott A Cos., of New York.
