An Undertaken Who Owns Cemetery
Runs 1t fsc Cash.
BRADFORD, Pc, Feb. I5.-The Oak Gene
terry association was formed in this city a
few years ago, and several acres of ground
for a cemetery suitable to the needs of the
city were purchased and laid out as bury
ground. The cemetery is the Greenwood of
this city and vicinity. Philip Webster, a
prosperous undertaken of Bradford, was a
large subscriber to the stock of the associa-
tion, and has gradually purchased the stock
of the others until he is now virtually the
owner Of all the unpurchased cemetery lots.
A few days ago Mrs. Lewis Dunning, of
Tarpor, died. Her husband came to Brad
ford to make arrangements for her burial
He purchased coffin at Morris & Lanes
establishment He then went to the office of
the Oak Hill cemetery to purchase burial
lot The clerk in charge asked him If he
had bought his coffin Dunsing replied that
he had.
'Where!' asked the clerk.
"At Morris & Lanes" said Dunning.
Then, can't sell you lot in the
cemetery" replied the clerk "No person
can obtain lot at Oak Hill unless he pur-
chases the coffin at Webster's shop and
engages his services at the funeral. These
are Mr.. Webster's orders"
Dunning inquired at Webster's and found
the clerks statement to be correct. He
countermanded his order at Morris & Lanes
and got his coffin at Webster's

Phillips Calls a Lawyer a Liar and Is

TOLEDO, Ohio Feb 15.-There was lively
time at the police court Friday night during
the Rice- Phillips trial. The room was
packed-to overfiowing and the arguments of
both sides were attentively listened to-.
Hueston, counsel for defense, arraigDed Mr..
Phillips in fearful way. He pictured the
woman as one abused beyond description,
and that, too, by an old wretch who was
guilty of solitary vice.
You're har!" shouted Phillips
to the attorney.
"Mr Phillips is fined $40 for contempt,
said the court
"I1l be - if pay it," said Phillips.
"Place Mr. Phillips under arrest" re-
sponded the court
At this Mr.. Phillips, cooled Off considera-
bly, and paid bis fine
When the arguments were concluded.
Judge Kennedy reviewed the case carefully
He said in substance that there was no evi
dence to show adultery; that while the wit
nesses had sworn that Rich and Mrs Phil
lips were in one room, with only one bed,
there was no evidence that the bed had been
disturbed, and that the court dismissed the
case. When this decision was announced
the court room broke out in violent ap-
plause, which was quite difficult to quiet
Mrs Phillips broke down when the decision
was rendered, and seemed to feel the embar-
RAISING situation in which she was placed
Phillips feels crestfallen. He looks like a
man who only had one friend, and that

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 1.-THE reply
of the postmaster general to the resolution
calling for Information as to whether the
eight-hour kw is applicable to
ietter-carriers, was laid before the

answer the postmaster general says
that there is no department regulation pre-
scribing the number of hours of labor of let
ter-carriers, and that the eight-hour law has
not been deemed applicable to letter-carriers,
because they are not regarded as a1aborers,

the law was not applicable was, the post
