GENERAL NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

The account Of James L. Orr, admin
istrator of the estate of Samuel G. r. Love,
was approved in the Orphans Court yesJer-
day. Love was q resident of Allegheny.
Upon his death a couple Of years ago claim
for her share was filed BY Ada Oliphant, who
asserted that she was Loves widow. Her
claim was contested, and though it was shown
that she had lived with Love and passed rs his
wife, she could not prove ghat a marriage cere-
mony was ever performed She then withdrew
her claim for the widows share, and presented
bill against the estate for So per week wages
as housekeeper for the time she lived with
Love. The Court held that she had not acted
in the capacity of servant, and ruled out her
bill for wages
Following close upon the heels of the first
claimant new comes another after the widows
portion. The last Shove 1 conclusively to Ad-
ministrator Orr that sic was in reality the
widow of Love. Sine had lived with him up to
1884 when he one day showed her legal look
ing document, which he said was divorce ne
had procured from her, ana that she would
have to leave him. Mrs. Love took her child,
and, believing that she was divorced, went
away. She supported herself for time and
eventually married again. She had only lived
with her second husband short time, when
she learned, through friends, that Love had
imposed upon her and that she had not been
divorced. She Immediately left her second
husband, and shortly afterward Love died.
She now wants to claim loves estate for her
self and child. The administrator has allowed
her claim, but when Loves debts are all paid
she will not get more than $500.
The facts brought forth by Mrs Love tend to
strengthen belief in the story OF Miss Oliphant,
the first claimant, who stated that she really
believed that she was the wife of Love, because,
if he would deceive his wife about divorce he
would deceive her about marriage.
