suits of John Claltin against L. Egenton
Hogg, William NJ Hogg and several insur-
ance companies. the answers Of the defendants
have been filed.
r. E. Hogg denies any Indebtedness to the
plaintiff. He claims that the $4,000 note
referred to by the plaintiff was given and in
dorsed by George G. Coe and others, who
with Clattin and Others formed syndicate
for the purchase of the Oregon Pacific Rail
road; that the money realized from that note
to the extent of S25 900 is deposited with the
clerk of the Oregon court a. the cash deposit
for the purchase and the other $4,000 was
put into the roads expenses; that the S35, 600
is payable out of the first money coming out
of the congratulations that it is not payable
until then; that the note was simply given as
the evidence of the advance, and to enable
the plaintiff to raise the money by discount
from time to time, if he is 50 desired, until
the plan of the syndicate could be consum-
mated by the reorganization, and that the in
surance money belongs to w. NJ. Hogg, and
was assigned to him not voluntarily, but
for a valuable consideration. All conspiracy
among the parties is positively denied.
The answers are filed by Ex-Governor
Whyte and A. G. Trippe for VIM. NJ. Hogg
and T. E. Hogg, and by Bernard Carter for

500 WatermelOnS by Mistake.

By the error of a shipping clerk of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in Balti-
more a carload of Georgia watermelons, 800
in number, arrived in Oxford, Pa, Monday,
when they should have gone to New Oxford
Adams county. The fruit house making the
shipment was notified and they hastened a
representative here, who sold the melons to
Oxford merchants. The melons are excellent
and sell from 20 to 80 cents each-cheap for
this time of season outside of large cities.
There is only one Oxford and it is the
metropolis of southern Chester county,
Everybody hears of Oxford, and we don't
wonder that the clerk in making out the
papers omitted the word New and caused the
melons to stop in oxford instead Of New Ok
ford As the citizens received the sweet
result OF his error they hope he will not get a
continuous vacation. Or fora Press.

Oldham Real Estate Case.

Examiner in Chancery, Joshua p. McCay
took testimony on Thursday, in the case of
the mortyaged real estate of Mary T.. Oldham
il which objections have been raised to the
confirmation of the sale The property con-
taiHs 80 acres of land in the Ninth district,
and was sold on May Il last. by William S.
Evans, attorney, at mortgages sale, to VIM.
\. Shepherd for -, $50. Ella +. Waters, wife
of Il. Il. Waters, formerly Ella +. Oldham,
Annie NJ. Oldham, Margaret H. Oldham and
Sarah + Oldham, object to the confirmation
IN the grounds that: When Mary L. oldham
bought the farm from John Carhart on March
%, 1895, she mortgaged the place to him for
$4,000: that on December 17th. 1891. they
purchased from Mary L. Oldham five acres,
three roods and thirty five perches of said
real estate at ard for the sum Of II 800, with
I'll improvements thereon consisting of dwell
ing house and other out-buiIdings, leaving un-
sold by the said Mary Z. Oldham 93 acres of
land with farm buildings thereon; that in the
proceedings all OF said real estate including
that portion purchased by them was sold.
Their objections to the sale are: That if that
L. Oldham had been properly offered on the
day of sale it would have brought sufficient
sum to clear off the mortgage and costs
and would have left their part free, clear and
discharged of said lien. Second, That on the
lay of sale bidder was present who would
nave bought the unsold portion for suffi-
cient sum, but had not an opportunity to do
50. The other objections are claims that the
unsold portion should have been offered first
that the amount of sale was inadequate,
and because of other Irregularities.
W. 7. Warburton, Esq, represented the
petitioners.
The answer of the purchaser, through his
attorney W. S. Evans, Esq, is, that the sale
was duly made-that the price at which he
bought the property was fair. and that the
sworn objections thereto are frivolous and
unfounded.
