Several Opinions Handed Down Current Business, Etc In the contented will in estate of Catharine Miliheim, deoeaed, the court yesterday discharged the rule to how en use why an issue should not be granted in order to try the facts before a jury.

The judge in his opinion filed finds the evidence insufficient to prove undue influence or mental incapacity of the testator at the time of the making of the will. The cose, we understand, will be appealed io the higher courts. In the case of II. W. Myers vs.

the Acme Candy Company, on a rule to show cause why judgment should not be opened, argued several weeks ago, Judge llittenger handed d.twn li is opinion discharging the rule as to Alexander Dichl, and made the rule absolute aa to Martin B. Sprenkle and Noah B. Sprenkle. The judge decided in nn opinion handed down in case of First Na-tonal Bank A. II.

Day. on a rule for judgment want of a sufficient affidavit of defence, that the rule be discharged, on account of the plaintiff's defective and insufficient statement, and the sufficiency of the affi davit of defence. J- In the case of Co. vs. J.

II. Walters, the court finds that the goods in question, which were sold ro the defendant, bv the sheriff as the property of E. Snyder and claimed by plaintiff as their property, J. G. Snyder being simply an agent of plnintiff and selling the good on consignment, the title is in the plain tiff an consignor.

UEliLY. Cecil Rhodes and Col. Kekewich Had Different Policies. MARTIAL LAW IN CAPE COLONY. ML Mr.

Chamberlain Asks for 2500 Additional Bushmen to Pursue Irreconcilable Boers. iuitii, 44 London, March 6. 4 a. m. Mafe-king is to be relieved as soon as the British force already on the way to Kimbcrley can raise the siege.

This force is described vaguely as "strong." The Kimberley Light Horse is mentioned as a component In view of the fact that the Kimberley Light Horse is under the control of the DeBeers Company, Lord Roberts' visit to Kimberley probably had to do with an arrangement with Cecil Rhodes to use this company of troops. Mr. Rhodes and Col. Kekewich have had differences of policy, it appears, which did not end with the relief of Kimberley. "What shall I do with him?" Col.

Kekewich is said to have wired to Lord Roberts, who half humorously replied, according to a story circulated at the clubs, "Put him in chains." Fresh intelligence as to what Lord Roberts is doing has ceased again. This silence is taken to mean th'at something has happened or is about to happen. ISeor raiders are uncommonly active in the northwestern section of Cape Colony, where they are stirring up the Dutch. Martial law has consequently been declared. Mr.

Chamberlain's request for 2,500 additional Australian bushmen is understood to be explained by th fact that the war office requires this force for the pursuit of irreconcilable Boers, who, according to the intelligence department, have been quietly collecting great quantities of ammunition and stores in the mountain fastnesses of the Zoutpansberg district in the north of the Transvaal where they are preparing to carry on guerilla warfare. NEW GOLD FIELD IN ALASKA, Rich Discoveries en Jack Wads Creek, Near Eagle City. San Fancisco, March 5. Charles D. Lane! the millionaire mine operator, has Just received word from Alaska that a rich gold discovery has been made on Jack Wade Creek, near Eagle City in American territory.

Near the richest strikes were found old rusty mining implements, showing that, many years ago the Russians who explored the country emptied the rich pockets on the creek but ignored the scattered fields. This creek was located two years ago last May by Jameson and Day, who staked out all the good ground. Prospectors have since swarmed in, but work has been prevented by injunctions taken out by the original lo-caters. On one claim was found th biggest nugget ever discovered on the Klondike. Judge Morford of Dawson who has just returned from Wade Creek, says the clean-up next spring will be enormous.

On three claims above Lower Discovery dirt averaged $13 to the pan and picked pahs yielded $65. About one thousand miners are at work, though many are interfered with by injunctions. There promises to be a great rush into the district next spring. Three Burned to Death. 1 Richmond, March 6.

He Says the Senator Was the Victim of a Diabolical Plot. Washington, March 5. Mr. Carter, of Montana, dealt vigorously with the Quay envse in the Senate today in the course of au explanation as to why he will vote for the former Senator from Pennsylvania. lie voted against the seating of Mr.

Corbett in the last Congress because, he said, Mr. Corbett. was endeavoring to benefit by a wrong perpetrated by himself He declared Mr. Quay was the victim of a "diabolical plot" in his own State such as had no counterpart in American jiolitical history. He regarded it as a strange construction of the constitution that simply because the legislature had an opportunity to elect nnd had failed, the seat should remain vacant.

"I prefer." said he, "that every available piece of State machinery should be employed to fill the vacancy than thnt it should be allowed to continue." "Mr. Quay." declared Mr. Carter, "was made the victim of a court in Pennsylvania. An indictment was returned against him and thus the machinery of the courts was set in operation against him to hold the members of the legislature from performing their duty in the election of a Senator." "When the legislature adjourned," said he, "this man faced a jury and I believe never challenged a single juror offered. After the trial had proceeded to its end the case was submitted to the jury nnd in an incredibly short time they brought in a ver dict of not guilty.

"I don't believe," said Mr. Carter, that this country has ever witnessed such another deep, dark, damnable, diabolical p-lot to destroy a man's political or private character." Mr. Carter recited what he to be the facts in the Pennsylvania situation, during the contest before the legislature. He declared that, the entire case against Mr. Quay in his own State was based on personal grounds and was the venting of private spleen.

In conclusion he said that in every case of this kind that came before the Senate he would reserve the right to go behind the certificate of the governor to inquire how the appointment was obtained, Experienced Salesman in 'Carpet and 'Furniture Address' with full -W, B.V Daily m'6-2t Both Sides Claim Majority of Delegates. CONTEST HOT LAST NIGHT. The Rival Banqueted Their Friends Caucusses Were Held and Slates Werei Made tor Today's Conven t'on. Who will be the delegates to the National Republican convention from thlo county? That was an ever ready question all day yesterday and last night. From an outside view of the situation the contest looks close.

The duly accredited delegates to the convention to meet today, began arriving early yesterday morning and continued to arrive up until last evening, when but a small percentage were still absent Upon the arrival of these delegates they proceeded to the headquarters cf the candidates. Mr. Trimmer had his headquarters established in the parlors of the Central Hotel, which, towards evening, presented a busy scene, being thronged with the delegates and Mr. Trimmer's fricnd3. Dr.

Dale had his headquarters in the room on the third floor of the York County National Bank, and likewise, towards evening, a busy scene was presented by the delegates and Dr. Dale's friends. During the evening Mr. Trimmer tendered his delegates and frisnds an elaborate banquet In the dining hall of the Central Hotel. An orchestra was present, which added zest to the occasion.

Dr. Dale, during the evening, tendered his delegates and a number of friends a sumptuous banquet in the dining hall of the Colonial Hotel. A band of music was present there and materially added pleasure to the same. The friends of the two candidates last night were equally confident of the success of each today. The caucus of the Trimmer dole-gates was held in the Central Hotel parlor, and Dr.

J. Frank Small was selected as their candidate for chairman of the For delegates to the State convention the following vers named: H. B. Walt man, York; H. K.

Fickes, York; G. W. Bailets, Warrington township; E. E. Bninner.

York Haven; John R. Saylor, Chanceford, and W. D. Munear, Dillsburg. As to the strength of Mr.

Trimmer in the convention no figures were obtainable, but the information was strongly vouchsafed and asserted that he had enough delegates to win. The caucus of the Dale delegates was held in the Colonial Hotel dining room, and Richard E. Cochran wn.s selected as their candidate for chairman of the convention. For delegates to the State Convention the following were named: G. Milton Bair, Hanover; J.

St. Clair Mc-Call, York; Clymer Shelley, Newberry township; E. C. Beck, York; r. W.

H. MeCurdy Delta, and John Lehman, Hellam. Dr. Dale last still claimed his original estimate of 114 delegates elected to the convention in his interest. There is the matter as It rested late last night.

As before stated, the delegates and friends of each candidate were equally confident that the banner of victory would be in their respective hands. What the outcome of the contest will be is a conjecture in the face of the existing situation. The convention meets at 10 o'cloclc this morning in court room No. 2, and will consist of 215 delegates. Pastor's Long Service.

Rev. Dr. William M. Baum preached his twenty-sixth anniversary sermon as pastor of St. Matthew's church Rrond ond Mt.
