COURT NOTES.

The will of Peter Miller, Sr., o.

week, Frederick Miller and Peter
Miller, executors Also will of Anna
Z. Koegler, of Jefferson township, E
E. Maurhoff, executor
In the case OF the Commonwealth
VS.. Esq. John Smith, of Cherry twp
convicted at June term Of perjury, the
Court, Bredin Judge, on Monday
filed lengthy opinion on the motion
in arrest Of judgement and for new
trial, concluding as follows, "The
falsity of his (the defendant's) oath as
a whole is what he is on trial for and
the whole oath must be given, new
trial granted" The meaning of the
decision is that the indictment charged
that the defendant made oath that
the facts stated were true whereas
the proof was that the defendant made
oath that the facts were true to the
best of his knowledge, information and
| belief. Another defect in the indict-
ment was, that it stated that the oath
was administered by NJ N. Greer,
Prothonotary, whereas it was in proof
that the oath was administered by Jno.
W. Brown, deputy Prothonotary. The
Court overruled the exception that the
judgment was extinguished at the time
the oath was made
The rule on North Buffalo twp, to
show cause why said district should
not be certified as the last legal settle
ment of John Mclaughlin was dis
charged by the Court on Monday. Nc
Laughlin is an insane man who was
sent to the West Penn Hospital from
Clearfeld twp, some years ago, and
having resided in Clearfeld twp. for
nine years previous to his commitment
that twp. is held to have been his last
place of legal settlement.
In the matter of the report vacating
road in Allegheny twp. from Grant
school house to James Jolly's, the
court is of opinion that it is not neces-
sary as public highway and that
keeping it open and in repair as such |
involves the expenditure of more
money than the township ought to
divert from necessary roads. The
court suggests that the road be kept
open without expense to the public,
either by the supervisors obtaining
releases, or by the persons interested
indemnifying the township against the
cost of putting and keeping it in repair.
The petition of Lewis Seaton for the
of the school directors of Ve-
mango township was refused by the
court. The court, however, is of opin-
ion that the directors ought to have ac-
cepted Seatou's proposition to provide
a public road to the old location, and
have rebuilt at or near the old site, and
that changing the location to point
so far distant from the centre of the
was mistake.

cagO.

A lady sat with her only child;
The poor little fellow was almost wild.
He was making a noise like circus band,
For horrible felon was on his hand.
A quiet old man remarked to the mother:
81 think can stop this pain and bother.
Eve a bottle of Pain Killer here" said he,
"And think it will cure him; let us see"
He poured some drops on moistened rag,
And wrapped the felon, as if in bag,
And soon the suffering child was calm
As the voice of a Summer evening psalm.

Der the case of McElwain vs.. Keller
man, tried last June. McElwain sued
Kellerman for the possession ofa horse
that had been stolen by young
man and for which stealing the
young man was sent to the peniten-
tiary. Kellerman won the suit and
now McElwain is going to take it to
the Supreme Court. On motion of his
attorney, some time ago, the Court
ordered the county stenographer to
make out long hand copy of the evi
dence and Judges charge in the case
The costs in the case have already
amounted to several hundred dollars
The stenographer's bill against the
county for copying evidence and charge
was $3.50, and it will likely cost Nc
Elwain 1925 to get it printed in bool
form for the Supreme Court. The triI

also the county of Butler.

Oysters Va. Grabs.

A peculiar case was heard in the Somerset
County (Md.), Court, last week, being an
appeal of William L. Ford, charged with
taking oysters without a license. The real
offence at which the prosecution was aimed
was the taking of crabs in drags or dredges.
This was considered by other crabbers an
unfair way of doing business and one which
if persisted in, was calculated to depopulate
their waters of these crustacea. There is,
however, no law regulating the catching of
these grotesque and pugnacious shell-fish,
but Ford's dredges brought up few oysters
along with the crabs and there his opponents
had him. They brought suit against him
before a magistrate ON this score and he was
duly convicted and fined for oystering with
out a license. From this decision he au-
peaed to the court, which, after hearing the
argument, reserved its decision. Similar
cases against three other crabbers are await
ing the same decision,

ELECTRIC LIGHTON THE RAIL.
The Device of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company to illuminate Passenger

The Device of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company to illuminate Passenger
Cars.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
tried the experiment of lighting passenger
car with electricity. Last night a car was
run from New York to Newark, in which
seven incandescent lamps were I'm operation.
Six are placed along the centre, the seventh
being in the closet from whence the lighting
OF the lamps is controlled. The lamps are
fed by thirty Faure accumulatOrs arranged
in two cases beneath the car formerly occu-
pied by the tanks which contained the gas
used in the old system OF lighting. The
cells were brought from England last May
and were not specially designed for the pur-
pose to which they are now applied. large
number OF new ones, in which several
improvements are introduced, are
at present in course of construc-
ton, which, as soon as completed,
will be fitted In several of the Pennsylvania
Company's cars. Each cell measures 11A
inches in length, 81 inches In width and IL
inches In depth. The whole set OF 80 cells
are connected together In one series, the
main circuit to the lamps leaving the bat
terry at the extreme ends. A switch is
placed in the closet, so that the car can be
instantaneously lighted up or the light ex-
tinguished by the conductor of the train.
Each lamp is provided with a switch socket,
so that it can be turned out or lighted in
dependently of the other lamps. The
amount of storage of electricity carried under
the car is capable of keeping all the
lights Turning for sixteen hours
Without recharging. Henceforth the car
will remain In regular service, remaining
only for tive hours each night at Jersey City
depot for the purpose of charging whenever
the cells are exhausted. This car is the first
which has been lighted in this manner in
the United States, but the system was intro
duced in the Pullman Express, running be-
tween London and Brighton, England. The
charging of the accumulators is effected by
means of an Edison dynamo machine of
one and quarter horsepower. The lamps
are Of about IL cahdle-power
