Another side to the Case.

MuScatlne IIOWaJ JOUfNdI.
In reference TO the publication IN the
naners of this city TO the effect that Mr..
and Mrs. Frank McCabe. of indianapolis,
Ind. had unduly influenced the late Mary
Schwaake to give them her property, es-
timated at $500, the Journal has been called
on by a gentleman of this city who is famil-
lar with the facts and who says the Nc
Cabes are u~njustly accused and that every
transaction In the case is not only legal but
honorable on their part. They took care
of the widow in her declining years at her
request and the transfer of her property 10
them was her own voluntary act and deed.
as several reputable citizens of Muscatlne
who know the facts will testify. There IS
really nothing left OF the estate upon whlcn
to administer, and the appointments OF an
indianapolis lawyer for that purpose is UNI
derstood TO be at the instigation of persons
who were disappointed in the disposition OF
the property.

JUDGE MESTREZAT WINS.
He Gets the Nomination for Supreme
Court Judge.

Judge S. L. Mestrezat, of Union
town, has been nominated by the
democratic state convention of Penn
sy1vania as a candidate for Judge of
the supreme court of appeals of that
state. A number of the friends of
Judge Mestrezat in West Virginia
have been watching the contest over
there for some time and wished they
could go over and help him. The
canvass has closed TO their entire
satisfaction.
The nomination for supreme court
judge is equivalent to an election by
reason of the fact that the two are
to be elected in November and no
elector is entitled to vote for more
than one. It is expected that Gov
ernor Stone will appoint Judge Mes
trezat to the vacancy caused by the
death Of Judge Williams as soon as
his nomination, rs certified to the
state department. This will create
vacancy on the bench in Fayette
county and give the governor com.
mon pleas judge to appoint, The
governor rendered the vacancy on
the supreme bench to David I.
Watson of Pittsburg and Exon
gresham Simon F. Wolverton OF
Northumberland, both of whom de
clined He has since held the place
open and there is every reason to
believe that he will make the Mes
trezat appointment promptly.

BONDS CARRIED
For the Building ef the Railroad from
M0rgantOwn to Kingwood.

For some time past the question of
issuing bonds for the railroad from
Kingwood to Morgantown has been
discussed and seemingly met with con-
siderable opposition. On Saturday
last however, the voters OF Morgan
district cast an overwhelming ma
jority for the bonds which assures
the railroad.
Morgantown people are TO be con-
graduated upon their public spirit.
Such vim and pluck will keep the old
town on the up go.-Grafton Leader.
