ing the debts OF the cstat" and the costs
Of administering his trust. the executor
made no assessment against the real
estate. but subtracted the whole eX-
pcnSe pro rata from the other bequests.
The legatccs of the personal property
took exceptions to this. and matter was
heard yesterday by Judge Nnsburg in
orphans court, when the executors aC-
count came up for auditing.
Attorney Clarence Balentinc. repre-
sentinS the exceptions maintained that
as Ill the requests We're specific they

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. +.
William Ames, Caught in Belt and
Tossed Fifteen Feet Through the
Air. Will Live to Tell Tale.

William .AmcS, Of 20 Adams avenue,
Dunmorc. was caught in n belt in Car
luCciS stone yard in the Seventh ward
yesterday afternoon. and, despite the
fact that every stitch of clothing was
torn from him and that he was thrown
Il distance of fifteen feet, he still lives,
and has Il very good chance for rcCov-
cry.
.Amcs was working about the yard
yesterday afternoon and got dangerous
ly near large belt connecting two ma =
chimes. He didn't see his danger and in
another instant his clothing was caught
in the belt and he was whirlcd in the
air and over the drum round which the
belt turned. He was sent flying through
the air and landed in 4 heap fifteen feet
away.
His fellow workmcn rushed TO where
he lay. expecting to find only the som-
bluncc of a human being. They We're
astonishod to find him not only alive,
but conscious, and were douby sur
priSed to see that every particle of
clothing, even down to his undcrWear,
had been stripped from his person. The
only articles of clothing remaining on
him We're his shoes.
The LackaWanna hospital ambulance
was Summoned and Ames was removed
to that institution. IT WAS found that
only one rib had been broken, but the
unfortunate mans body was mass Of
severe ContusionS ana he was suffering
from shock. The physicians, who great
IL marvel ut the fact that Amcs was
not killed, hold out strong hopes for his
ppgnNtrN.

In Common Pleas.

Yesterday was the third day con-
Sumed in the trial of Keegan
against The Metropolitan Life Insurance
company case before Judge Kelly in
the main court room. The defense called
several physicians, among them Doc
tors sullivan, O'Bricn and Keller. to
give expert testimony Oh the condition
of the health of one suffering from
acute and chronic SaStritiS. Dr Sulli-
van Was the family physician and at
tended Mrs. kcegan many times dur
ing her lifetime and his testimony dis
closed the fact that ut and before the
time OF securing the policy for insur-
ance Mrs. keecan WAS subject to at
lacks OF gastritS and that he had
treated her for il.
The cause of death was proved to be
n hcmmOrrhage of the stomach IIvpO-
thetical questions with reference to the
various cases of illness from which
Mrs. kccgan was known to have suf-
f"lCu Wcr" put to Doctors OlSlien and
Keller Ia which they answered that IA
person 50 afflicted for some time pre-
NiouS to the taking out Of the policy
would not, in their opinion. be IN good
health. The amount of the policy on
It's face is $500. but the plaintiff seeks
10 recover $l,0oh. an additional 5000 for
the damage She has suffered by the
refusal Of the company 10 pay her
claim. The argument of counsel and
charge of The court will he made this
morning and the case will probably be
IN ih" jury'S hands ut noon.
In court room No. . the PilSrr case
against the borough of ThrOop is still
on, but will reach the jury today. Pill
ger wants $1,000 for damages suffered
in the loss of liquors, beers and house
hold provisions and other stock stored
in the cellar of his hotel property, To-
Gated in The said borough, II is alleged
hy the plaintiff that AN mperfcctly con-
Structed ditch in front OF his property
became cloggod with debris and ice and
turned the water from it's natural
course over on his Land ana into his
cellar, spelling the goods there stored
The defense called a number Of Wit
ncsses To SHOW that the ditch was al
ways clean and carried away the sur
face Water al all times and further
more that the water lodged in his eel
lar came from the Ice box and sink
drainage pipes in his own house.

Orders were handed down bv tho
court yesterday directing that i,SjO
names, instead of $50 names, be placed
in the jury wheel for 1902; that eighty
instead or sixty petit jurors he drawn
for each week Of quarter sessions; that
fifty instead of thirty-ivc cases be
placed on tile list for each week of COM
mon pleas and that the common pleas
list for each week he called on the Mon
day preceding the day on which the
weeks session opens.
The purpose of these changes is to
facilitate and r:ueditc the trial OF
cases. Under the Hoy jury bill, with
such liberal challenges allowed. it has
been the almost invariablc experience
that the panel of sixty would be en-
haustcd in procuring II murder jury,
nccessitating the drawing Of talesmen.
With twenty more jurors on each
weeks panel it is believed this will be
obviated. one of the best results of
this change will be that the profess
sional t,Llesmen will find his occupation
gone.
To take care of the increased number
of civil cases on each weeks list three
courts will be conducted. Thirty cases
Tuesday and ten for Wednesday. The
plan of calling the list q week ahead
win make it possible to know to u fair
certainty Just how many cases will be
ready for trial and will permit the pres
idcnt judge to prepare accordingly.
The principal benefit. however. that
will come of calling the list week
in advance will be the saving Of cX-
lcns"S for witnesses. II a case is con-
tinued the parties can have time to
notify their witnesses to that effect. As
IL is now, even with both parties agree
able to n continuance, the witnesses
must be on hand as IL prccaution
against the possibility of the court rc-
fuSiug to grant the continuance.
The civil business is now cleared up
to within Il year and four months of
the present time" President Judge Ed
wards said yesterday he hoped With
three courts in session ut each term 70
bring il down To six months. 1t is not
desirable to have il shorter than this.
as many cases by being allowed to hang
for time are anicably settled.

fully Written in Il Book by
Scranton Penman.

An interesting document was shown
for the first time in the United States
court yesterday. 1t was il record book
prepared by the clerk, Il. Il. W. Searlc.
When the well-kuoWn attorney made
inquiries regarding the minutes of the
eastern and western courts he found
that the records could he obtained only
after considerable trouble and he de-
cidcd that the new court should go
down in history as having one of the
most complete records of its beginning
ana what transpircd thereafter. At his
own expense and after considerable ef-
fort he has had prepared a handsomely
cngroSscd minute book. The work is all
in pen ard ink and was done by 7. w.
Costello. of Scranton. The title and
opening pages of the book are a work
Of art. a complete record Of the OPEN
ing Of the court in this city on May &
is given. each page being appropriately
designed and inscribed. ON one page
are the pictures of Judges Archibald,

the court at its opening session. Min
utes of the session follow, including the
speeches made on the occasion of the
opening Of the court and at the banquet
rendered the officials of the new court
by the members Of the Dauphin county
bar. including a copy of the programme
as rendered. 1t is without exception
one of the most complete court records
seen in this city.
The books were much admired, and

Almost MObbed,

Mrs Carrie Nation narrowly escaped
rough treatment at Coney Island last
Wednesday, according to newspaper
reports. She is quoted as having said
that Bill Mckinley deserves to die.
lie deserves just what he got. He is
the friend of the brewer and the drink
ing man" The crowd became infuri-
ated at once. Kissed and gave three vo-
ciferous cheers for the President, and
she turned on them with you hell
hounds! You snakes, you can jeer and
boot as you like!" BY this time her
manager saw that something had to be
done and he was not slow in getting her
away.
We hope that the report is not true,
but if it is, Mrs. Nation is becoming
too desperate to be permitted to roam
at large. This thing of advocating
murder must stop. It is all right to
advocate reform, but to counsel crime
is not reform, but the extreme opposite.

Push for the ChOctaw.

The outlook tor the extension of the
Cboctaw railroad from Alva to Medi
cine and northwest is brighter than it
eyer has been before. The company at
no time intended that the branch which
runs into Alya should end at that point
and short time ago our people were
given to understand tl.at an extension
will be made, the exact route depend
ing on the interest manifested by the
people whom it would benefit.
To systematic workIn the direction
OF securing the road an informal meet
ing was held in this city Monday and
plans of procedure were discussed. A
committee consisting of Jacob Achen.
bach, OF Hardtner, j. NJ. Bickel, of
SpIingvaie, and Samuel Stewart. of
this place, was appointed to confer with
the company. Those who are posted
OH the situation say that the first es
sential concession that the company
asks is a right Of way through the ter
ritOry it proposes to build and the plan
is to urge that the people freely grant
this privilege. 1t is also expected to
raise money by individual subscription.
The proposed line is TO run from Alva
to Hardtner, thence TO Medicine Lodge
and on northwest to the gypsum quar-
rieS. By all means let the movement
progress. a road of this kind would
be great thing for Barber county.
