JUDGE POTTS TRADUOER FOUND
She Is Mentally Deranged and Has
Ree1s In rEia ANvlurra

The letter writing crank who has been
annoying Police Justice Potts has re-
vealed herself. She is a woman who lives
on West Newark avenue; and who has
been generally supposed for some time
past to be mentally deranged. She has
annoyed the police and the magis-
trates with complaints of alleged nuis-
ances that have existed only in her weak
mind. The letter she sent Justice Potts
this morning contained over 1000 words
of abuse.
The writer admitted that she had had
dealings with DR.. King, Superintendent of
the County Insane Asylum-and declared
him to be a perfect gentleman. She would
nos say as much for some other persons
with whom she was acquainted. The let
ter came in a wrapper for five cent pieces.
As usual there was no stamp on it and
Justice Potts had to pay two cents for the
privilege of learning how badly he is
abused.

HAWAIIAN TREATY DISCUSSION
Dispostion I'm the Senate TO Hold
Puhlfc INSTEAD of Secret Sessions.

WAsHINGTON Dec. 4, 1ss7-There is
a disposition on the part of some Senators
to have the debate on the Hawaiian trea-
ty open to the public, instead of in Sec
ret session as is usually the case when
treaty is being considered. It is under
stood, also, that the Hawaiian aurhori-
ties here would look with favor on such
move, as they feel that the fullest pub
lieity will be helpful to the treaty. It is
pointed out that the reason for the Sem
ate rule of secrecy is that a treaty is not
made public until ratified by both govern
lnents But in this case the text of the
treaty has been made public.

snnrens caurt necis:ors.


Among the large number of opinions
handed down by the supreme Court last
week. the following are OF interest in this
county:
In the case of Mary T.. Meyers ct al,
rs. W. II. Meyers, Barbara +. Meyers
and Ida l.. Meyers. the lower court is
sustained. FIVE Of the seven heirs Of the
late Peter Meyers accepted real estate ap-
praised at the value OF slG9,lS3 %, max
ing an average share Of S20,G3G00. The
appraised value of the real estate not tax
en- was SCi2.52s. %, independent Of other
lands from which the sum of about
$4,000 was afterwards realized, 90 be di-
vided among the two non-accepting
heirs. The accepting heirs gave their re-
cognizances and the contention was as TO
whether the Tecoguizauces bore interest.
At the time of the original appraisement,
1881, real estate values were greatly in
flated, as was discovered to lie the case
upon final settlement CT the estate.
In the case of 5. B. Philsou against the
Mutual Life Insurance company, Of New
dlHfsiACA IVAAA s-RaaAtfHfs NtAhLN >
the lower court is reversed. James Cor
coran, who died in 1884, had policy in
the Mutual Life, and after his death it
could not be found. His widow was paid
the claim in the absence of the policy af
ter giving the company a bond OF indem-
nifty. Later Phiison turned up with the
policy, which had been assigned to him.
He sued and was given Judgment for the
amount of it. This was set aside because
he had not given the company the re-
quired notice of the transfer Of the policy
when it was made.
Chief Justice Sterrett handed down the
opinion in the case of Hannah Fritz and
others, appellants, against Thomas A.
Menges, from the Common Pleas court of
Somerset county, refusing TO reverse
judgment. The suit was dispute over
the title of farm in this county.

Water Bond Paid.

Burgess Welfley has always been anx-
ious to begin redeeming the borough
water works bonds at the earliest day
possible. At a recent meeting of the town
council he submitted an exhibit of the
borough finances and suggested that it
would be good management to pay off a
bond on which the borough had an op-
ton. on motion Of Councilman Berkley
council unanimously adopted resolution
to call in and pay 81, 900 bond, and this
