co-defendants with the executors of the
Charles Tropp estate, in an action of
trespass brought by Caroline NJ. Reed.
Mrs. Reed is seeking to recover $4,000
damages for goods which she alleges
We're illegally seized and disposed of at
a sheriff's sale. She claims that she
was in partnership with Charles Il.
TrOpp in the store known as Reeds
market, conducted near the Academy
of Music in 1893. Tropp confessed a
firm judgment to his father and his
grandmother, Mrs. Lohman, for money
borrowed from them by the firm Mrs.
Reed, however, claims she was no party
to the judgment, that she knew nothing
of it and that it was for Tropps per-
sOnal debts and not those of the firm
that the judgments We're given.
The sheriff and his deputies are now
defendants by reason of their having
sold out the store on the alleged illegal

A recent dispatch from ShamOkin
says: Mrs. Michael Derk's one hun
dredth birthday anniversary has just
been celebrated~in Cameron, and the
Did woman, who at one time owned
$S.0000 900 worth of the finest anthracite
coal in the world and did not know it,
was heartily cheered by 1l5 descendants
as she was escorted to her seat at the
head of the banquet table. Mrs. Derk
bowed and smiled at the assemblage
and looked as though she might live
many more years.
In addition to the distinction of at
tanning such age and selling the coal
land, she never saw a railroad or loco
motive, She has resided in Upper Ma
hanoy township continuously the past
fifty years.
Mrs. Derk was born Jan. 90 1897, in
Long swamp" near Philadelphia, and
her parents removed to Cameron when
she was young woman. After her
marriage to Mr.. Derk the young couple
settled in Coal township, acquiring 300
acres, which We're later on sold for 5000,
the Derks returning to Cameron. The
tract they disposed of is now worked
by the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, and many collieres have for
many years supplied the coal markets.

From the sun.
The Spanish government is one of the
Oldest organized in the world. The
Spanish nation is one of the oldest
maintaining intact it's official Sciences
as well as in war, commerce, navigation
and geographical research. Spaniards
have taken high rank, but for some
reasons Spaniards have been of very
little note as inventors. The highest
type of modern Spanish invention would
appear to be in the war bulletin.
There are few useful or ingenious in
NentiGns which are attributed to men of
Spanish birth or ancestry Cannon
We're used by the Spaniards nearly 600
years ago, and before their use by
either the English or the French, but
these cannon We're brought into Spain
by the Moors. The invention of the
microscope is ascribed to a German,
of gunpoWder to a Hindoo, of printing
to a German, of the rifle to a native of
Vienna, of photography to a French
man, of the paddock to a German, the
pendulum to an Italian, the mariners
compass to a Chinaman, the guitar to
an Egyptian hats to a Swiss resident

AN EJECTMENT CASE.

case which brought out many of
the niceities of the ejectment law was

by Attorney c. Comegys, We're the de-
PENDANTS.
The land in dispute is a lot on AL
bright avenue in the Thirteenth ward.
In 1871 it was purchased by Thomas
Myers, Mrs. Preigle's first husband,
from George Sanderson, sr., on a con-
tract He could not keep up the pay
ments and in order to prevent his los
ing it, his father, Jacob Myers, bought
the title and secured the contract
rights with the understanding that his
son should pay up the contract as quick
ly as he could.
The son. however, pleaded poverty
every time the father made oVertures
for a settlement. He died without
liQuidating the debt and his wife married
again becoming Mrs. John Preigle.
Jacob Myers at various times tried to
secure reimbursement from her for
the money he had expended in favor
ing his son and daughter-in-law, but
out of kindness for her did not proceed
in ejeCtment.
Recently he died and in settling up
the estate the heirs took steps to secure
the property by means of an action in
ejectment.

bling and various strategic movements
