Widow of Late Captain Applies for Letters as Adminstratrix. Mrs. John B. Libby, wife of the well-known marine captain who died at Portland on Tuesday, filed yesterday in the superior court an application to be appointed administratrix of her husband’s estate. The petition set forth that a diligent search had been made, but no will had been found. It was declared that Captain Libby died possessed of no real estate and the personal property was alleged to be worth about $600. The heirs named were Mrs. Albert Cookingham, a daughter; Granville Libby, a son, and Mrs. Libby, the widow. Captain Libby’s first wife died in 1884 and the petitioner, who was much younger than her husband, became his wife recently. Judge Frater fixed September 21 for the hearing on the petition.
