TttE DECEASED REMEMBERED CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "FORGOT" TWO CHILDREN The will of H. J. Staub, who was found dead on his dairy-farm near this city last Saturday evening, has been filed with the clerk of Craven county. This will completely ignores the exist ence of two daughters of the deceased and there is a probability that it will be contested. The deceased gives to his wife all of his personal property, out right, and gives her the home as long as' she may live and it then reverts to his daughter, Mrs. Julia Staub Bell. The will further states that the dairy farm is to be sold and after all of .the bills of the deceased have been paid, the remainder of the proceeds are to be turned over to the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city of which the deceased was a member. As the fasm is valued at ten thousand dollars and it is estimated that t'ie adminis trators will use less than five thousand dollars in settling up te estate, the Christian Science church will get quite a neat sum. Two of the daughters of the deceased, Mr. W. Jones of this city and Mrs. Caffee, of Norfolk, Ya., were not mentioned in the document. or; Miss Catherine LeffeYts and Tom Moore, "Kinks;" Miss Nellie Si upson and Charles Carmon, "On the Green;" Miss Haze!

The Crefeld was accompanied into port by the German steamer Patagonia, Rio Negro and Asuncion. A later message states that over 40O men of the crew are prisoners and that the merchantmen were mostly sunk in the -Atlantic, The ships were mostly engaged in the South American trade and their total tonnage is about 60,000. The cruiser Karlsruhe, a ship of trifle less than 5,000 tons, has had in this war a career as eventful in the Atlantic as that of her smaller sister ship, the Emden in the Indian Ocean. The Karlsruhe first came into no tice at the outbreak of the war when she appeared in the vicinity of Sandy Hook apparently in wait for British merchantmen leaving New York, For a few days the British shipping hug ged their piers and then came news that the Karlsruhe had been driven away by the approach of several British cruisers. On August 9 the Karlsruhe appeared in the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, "where she coaled and then again took to the seas. Soon after it was learned that the Karlsruhe had been in a sensational running fight at sea with the British cruisers Suffolk and Bristol. It appears that the British cruisers came unexpectedly upon the Karls ruhe while she was coaling from the German steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm. The cruisers engaged in a running fight while the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, through her superior speed, easily escaped. The Karlsruhe also eluded her pursuers and an unconfirmed report had it that she had damaged theBristol in this fight Since then the Karlsruhe has ap peared in several West Indian ports for coal after preying in various southern seas on British commerce. An officia t statement given out in Berlin on Octo ber 3 said she had sunk seven British steamers in the Atlantic. The Karlsruhe is a comparatively new ship, having gone into commis sion early in 1913. She is very fast, having a speed of 27 knots an hour which has enabled her thus, far to successfully elude the persistent British pursuit. Her main armament consists of twelve 5.1 inch guns and she carries a crew of 73 men. i S.GATCHINQ PTTJSRS Morehead jOty Fishermen Make Nice Haul - MOREHEAD CITY, Oct, ?3 While making a haul in Adams creek Tues day Captain .
