Suit Over q Note.

]. c. Cobb was sued yesterday by
Mrs. Mary A. Pelton to pay q promis-
sorry note for 1925 on the First National
bank, of this city. Mrs. Pelton was
represented by Attorneys NJ. ]. Mar
tin and ]. H. Torrey. The note was
offered in evidence and was endorsed
by ]. r. Osgood.
The defense Is that Osgood had asked
Cobb to raise some money for him and
that the note was made with this end
In view. Osgood's need for the money
passed and It was not taken. Mrs.
Pelton then borrowed money from Os-
good and got the note made before
from him, 1t is therefore claimed that
she is not the accommodated party and
has no legal right to recover.

General Regret Over the Illness of
Judge F. w. Gunster.

1t Is with panied regret that the le-
gion of friends and admirers of Judge
+. w. Gunster learn of the serious
throat affection which is feared will
incapacitate him to such an extent as
to enforce his retirement from the
bench. AS a man and a Judge he is
admired by every one who knows him,
and they who know him best admire
him most.
About the court house where the
matter forms a topic Of general dis
cussion, nothing but the warmest ex-
pressions Of sympathy and good wishes
are heard, and should It so happen that
he would be unable to continue on the
bench, II would be the lawyers and
court officers who would regret II the

NEW CATHOLIC DIOCESE.
Vicar General Garvey, of Pittston,
Hinted at as New Bishop.

1t was decided at the last meeting of
bishops to form a new Catholic diocese
in this state owing to the largely in
creasing Catholic population and the
consequent increase in the duties of
several of the heads of existing o.
ceSeS.
The new diocese will be formed from
a number of the parishes now under
the Jurisdiction of the bishops of Pitts
burg and Harrisburg. 1t will comprise
the counties of Cambria, Huntington,
Somerset Bedford, Blair, Centre, Clin-
ton and Fulton, with the city of AL
toona as the seat of the new bishop.
Speculation is rife as to who the new
head of the diocese will be. Among
those mentioned as the probable new
bishop is Very Rev. Eugene Garvey
of Pittston, the vicar general Of this
diocese.

Suit was begun yesterday by the
Real Estate Trust company Of Phila-
delphia to have a receiver appointed
for the Carbondale Traction company.
The petition was argued by the tritst
company's president, Frank X. Ripple,
and presented by willard, Warren and
Knapp.
The petition recites that on July 30,
1892 before consolidating with the Car
bondale Traction company, the Forest
City Passenger Railway company gave
a deed of trust to the Central Trust
company of New York to secur, an
issue Of S15O,OOO worth of first mortgage
bonds. The consolidation was effected
March 5. 1896, and on June 1 following
the consolidated company issued per
cent. consolidated mortgage gold bonds
in the sum of $45OO 900 and gave deed
of trust to secure the same to the Real
Estate Trust company of Philadelphia,
the plaintiff in the present case.
OF this consolidated issue the sum
of $15O,000 was set aside to retire the
s150.000 first mortgage bonds issued by
the Forest City Passenger Railway
company. The interest on the remain
ing 100000 worth OF bonds was pay
able semi-annual and II Ii remained
unpaid for six months the trust COM
pany. with the sanction of 60 per cent.
of the bond holders, was empowered
to proceed in law to take charge Of the
company.
The traction company, 1t is alleged,
has defaulted in the payment OF the
last semi-annual interest, and bond
holders representing all but $1,000 Of
the 100000 have petitloned to have the
trust company take charge Of the road.
The petition Of the trust company
asks that court appoint a receiver with
power to take charge OF the business
of the road and manage its operation.

AN ALABAMA GIRL
Miss Katherine Willard With Darkest
 Russia Company

The leading lady of the Darkest Aussia" company, which appears at O'Briens on Wednesday, in addition to being an artiste, should have an additional charm for Bir- mingham people, for she is an Alabama girl.
 Miss Willard was born in Mobile, and is a daughter of Elizabeth Davis and Joseph M. Jones. She is a great granddaughter of Edward Hall, who was for several terms mayor of the city of Mobile in the days when there was salary attached to the office, but it was bestowed as a mark of respect on the most prominent citizens.
 Her maternal grandfather was John Will lard Davis, for many years identified with the lumber interests of the south, and who after amassing large fortune invested it in the young and growing city of Chicago but the title to the property being defect i've, he became involved in the most notable lawsuit the country ever saw, and died after losing everything.
 Her paternal grandfather was Joseph Jones, the noted linguist and historian, and

Conference of the Regents
 Dauqhters of the Revolution

The conference of state regents, Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, which will be held in Birmingham on Wednesday, will bring together a number of prominent wo- men, and their presence here will be the occasion of several charming events in their honor.

Morgan Smith. There will be two sessions, the morning session beginning at 10 o'clock. The chapter regents will make their re- and prosperity of the patriotic organization will be discussed. The visiting D. A. R. are cordially invited to be present at both sessions.

Miss Willard is intimately connected with the best families in this state. She was born in Mobile, and her early education be- gun in the Convent of the Visitation of that city.
 Her stage work was begun under the tute- 1age of the late Augustin Daly, who just prior to his death predicted a most brilliant stellar career for her. It Is seldom that girl, not yet out of her teens, is chosen as the bright, particular feature of a cast made up onf the best available talent of the pres ent day stage, yet this young lady has the proud distinction of having been told by the author of Darkest Russia" H. Grat- tan Donnelly that she Is the only one in all the number who have essayed the char acter who realizes his ideal of it in every essential.
 Miss Willard is not only comedy in face and figure, but she is possessed of a nat ural histrionic talent,-She is magnetic in her manner, and as the Polish girl "Ilda Borosky," is easily the head and front of the company that will be seen, and this too. when the present company is the conceded peer of any that has yet been seen in this well known play.

power to think, to reason, to calculate. to consider. It gave him power to direct andP to control earthly things. It ennobled him to select and decide for himself. The way was pointed out to him and if he did not follow the plea that he did not think would avail him not. Dr. Newman said in part:
 "If you would be pure you must have pure thoughts. You cannot have evil thoughts and a pure heart. You may not be able to prevent evil suggesting itself to your mind, but you can keep from entertaining it. It was Ben Johnson who said Show me his companions and I will tell you what the man is.' Goethe said: Tell me what the mans thoughts are and will tell you what his life is. You cannot look at the ballet dancer without harm to yourself.
 Early in my ministerial career was called to the bedside of dying man. He wanted me to baptise him and receive him into the church. He was too excited to listen would not listen to me. All he could say was 'baptise me. Take me into the church. I had to let the poor fellow die without saying word to him.
 "I was called to see a popular young man who was dying. When I spoke and asked him to pray he said: It's too late; I didn't think I was going to die; it's too late now
 Think upon your way now before it is too late. Make haste to purify yourself to love God. When the time comes for you to die it will not do for you to say: I did not think. That will be no excuse. Make haste to accept God before it is too late."

 By way of introductory pr. Newman said that by endowing man with the faculty of thought, God had distinguished him from all other animals. Man was given the
