ant with his original right in his share
of the estate and for an account of the
estate and for an account of the personal
estate of the decedent and payment to
the complainant of his share thereof.
The ground on which the complainant
founded his claim in his bill is as follows !:
That the complainant, at and before the
date of the transfer, was in INDECENT
and Strengthened circumstances, not on
good terms with his family, and was
living separate and away from them; and
that they, the defendants, knew that he
was in needy circumstances, and con-
spired together to defraud him of bis
interest in his fathers estate, and that
they fraudulently concealed from the
complainant the property and assets of
the estate saying that his interest was
worth less, etc.
The bill further alleges that the defend
ants when they made the representations
to the complainant knew that his share
and interest in the estate was worth $685.
600; that Vaughn, the husband of the
compliments sister, was the real purchas-
er of the compliments interest. and paid
Gibbs 500 for his services. The cour9
held:
1.-THE complainant is entitled to costs
against Vaughn.
THE defendants who joined in the an
swer with Vaughn, and made common
cause with him, are not entitled to costs.
The complainant proved gross errors in
the Orphans Court and failed to obtain a
decree in that behalf simply because he
had failed to set up and attack it in adj
vance.

Freebooter Joseph Fleetwood had q
narrow escape from serious accident
last Saturday evening.
He was driving towards home through
West Federal street, Burlington, when
the kingbolt of the wagon broke and the
forward and rear wheels parted company.
The horse became frightened and started
for home at a high rate of speed. Mr..
Fleetwood was thrown violently to the
ground, striking full on his face. He
managed to walk to John Phillips barber
shop. where his son was waiting for the
services of the tonsorial artist, and sent
him on home to acquaint the family OF
bis safety, and then sought the services OF
Dr. J H. Pugh, who dressed his wounds.
In falling his lip and nose were cut by
contact with the frozen ground, and he
was otherwise injured.
Fortunately no bones were broken.
The contents of the wagon, consisting of
the family groceries, were strewn along
the roadway, and we're gathered up in a
badly demoralized condition.

circulated that he had two wives, one
of whom he married forty years ago
and by whom he had four or five child
rem, and the other to whom he was mar
ried twenty eight years ago and by whom
he had seven children. This story SEEM
ed to originate from the first wife, who
announced an intention of contesting for
the dead mans estate of 500, 1000.
The second wife says that her husband
secured a divorce in 1856 in Cleveland,
Ohio, from his first wife and then married
the relator, who at that time was Miss

county and went to farming near Sha-
mong Nine years later they went to

and saws she did not know that the first
wife had been at the house until nine
o'clock in the evening, when some one
told her.
Judge Carrow also stated that he has
the Court records and papers showing
Fidell to have been divorced from his first
wife in the year named. He knew FL
dell for twenty yea RS and knew him to
have been an upright, honest man.

Standing on toe steps OF the altar at
which he was about to celebrate high
mass, on Sunday, bis face inflamed with
passion. Rev. William Treacy, of St.
Bridget's Roman Catholic Church, at
Swedesboro'. called on Deputy Sheriff Gar
rison to arrest Rev. Walter 7. Leahy as a
disorderly person If he did not desist read
ing Bishop O'Farrells letter to the con-
gregation and leave the premises. For a
few moments free fight impended, and
the church was only saved this sacril-
0ious event by the dignity Of Father
Leahy.
Father Treacy is the first Roman Cath
Ole priest to be deprived of his priestly
functions by Monsignor Satolli, and his
answer has been to fling defiance in the
face Of the Apostolic Delegate.
The swedesboro' affair grew out of the
fight of Father Treacy's brother. Rev. Pat
rick A. Treacy. of Burlington, with Bish-
op O'FarrelI. Some time ago Father
Treacy was adjudged insane. and on the
advice OF medical experts, Bishop O'Far-
rell placed him in an insane asylum. As
he was found to have lucid intervals the
Bishop gave him several hundred dollars
and sent him to Europe, where it was
hoped that travel would cure him.
Instead of travelling for bis health,
Fat her Treacy went Immediately to Rome
and laid his case before the Pope. He
was unsuccessful in his appeal. and on his
return to this country he has continued
his fight against Bishop O'Farrell. His
brother, of Swedesboro,' joined with him
and they jointly prepared series of pub.
lie statements and demanded that he be
restored to the charge of bis parish.
The constant outpouring Of innuendc
and accusation became unbearable. and
at last Father Treacy, of Swedesboro'
was ordered by the Bishop to cease. and
on failing to do 30 he was ordered to va
cate his parish.
This he also refused to do, and took biz
case before Monsignor Satolli, who gave
both Bishop and priest hearing and ther
decided against the priest.
Father Treacy, it is stated, told thu
Apostolic Delegate to his face that h'
would appeal to Rome, as it was eviden
that the latter did not know what he wal
talking about.
Last Thursday Bishop O'Farrell sen
Father Leahy to relieve the recalcitran
priest. He visited him at the parish
house and found 1t guarded by several o
the pastors adherents. who refused t.
allow him on the premises He saw
Father Treacy, however, and communi
Gated to him the commands Of the Bishop
He was met with an absolute defanc
and refusal to obey.
Father Leahy communicated with tn
Bishop, and the latter sent Treacy lette
Of dismissal. Father Leahy also receives
letter which he was directed to read I
the congregation. 1t was when he al
tempted to do this that the trouble begar
Deputy Sheriff Garrison sided with Fathe
Treacy and Father Leahy was compel
ed to leave the church. Legal meas
ures Will now be resorted to in order
depose Father Treacy.
