Hodoby, Head of the Greek
Catholic Church in America.

Canon Hodoby, the newly-appointed
head of the Greek Catholic church in
America, took an option yesterday on
the old Tripp homestead and the six
and one-half acres surrounding it. He
proposes to purchase it for a site for a
residence, church and seminary.
The negotiations are being carried on
between Attorney Thomas P. Hoban
and the trustees of the Tripp estate.

to view the United States as an inviting
mission field and believing that priests
educated in this country will be better
equipped for the work here, has deter
mined to establish in this country a
high class seminary. Scranton was Sc
lected as the most desirable location
for the head Of the church and site Of
the seminary after a thorough canvass
of the principal cities of the east.
Canon Hodoby will make his first Of
fetal appearance in Scranton, at the
ordinations at st. Peters Cathedral, by
Bishop Hoban. next Wednesday. when

NOVEL POINT
IS INVOLVED
OPINION OF JUDGE vosBuRa IN
WILLIAMS CASE.
Question as to What Constitutes the
Gift OF a. Bank Account-Widow
Wants the Two Sons to Include
Her Deceased Husbands Bank
Accounts in the Inventory of the
Estate-They Refuse, on the
Ground That the Accounts Were
Given to Them.

Judge Vosburg yesterday handed
down an opinion in orphans court In
the matter of the estate of John T.
Williams, deceased, late OF Carbondale.
The contest is with respect to two de-
posits in banking institutions of the
city Of Carbondale, one in First Ma
tional bank of 1882, and one in the Min
ers and Mechanics bank Of $3,129.64.
The executors did not include these
deposits in the inventory filed by them.
and the widow has filed exceptions to
this inventory. alleging that they form
ed part of the decedent's estate, and
should therefore be included among the
assets. The executors claim that the
larger deposit was given by the testa-
tor to his son, Thomas, and the smaller
one to his son. David; and they there
fore contend that they were properly
not included in the inventory. Consid-
cradle testimony has been taken on
each side of this controversy. The case
turns upon whether or not the acts OF
the testator constituted a gift of the
bank accounts to his sons.
Judge Vosburg decides that the gifts
were made and completed. as contended
by the sons, and that no act of their
invalidated them.
The opinion accompanying the decis-
ion is an exhaustive one and deals will,
several questions on which there arc
no previous decisions.

jor neutrality-suspicious. Of
Assistant Surgeon Awaited.

Although Colonel L. A. Watres, of the
Thirteenth regiment, has not yet issued
any official order, making an appoint
ment to the Office of commssary. it is
now a pretty well established fact that
the berth will go to Commissary Ser
geant f. NJ. koehler. The latter has
been with the regiment several years.
and has filled the Office Of commissary
sergeant with commendable zeal.
The Office of commissary was made
vacant when Lieutenant Colonel F. W..

numbered upon the commander of the
First battalion, and Major Field was
given charge of this division of the reg
iment. This action made Major Rob-
ling commander of the second battalion,
and Captain Whitney, of Honesdale,
who was then acting as commissary.
was advanced to his old rank of major.
and given the third battalion.
Another appointment which is daily
awaited by members of the regiment
on account of the nearness of camp
time, is that of an assistant surgeon.
AS will be remembered, DR.. Blanchard,
the senior assistant surgeon of the regi-
ment, died last year, while the Thir-
teenth was at Mt. Gretna, he having
been unable to accompany the regi-
ment to camp. Dr. p. +. Gunster is
now senior assistant.

The boys did not return but the next
morning the father of one of the boys
called upon me and with threats and
abuse demanded the wagon. Consider

BISHOPS ADDRESS.

He congratulated the members of the
graduating class and gave them some
practical advice, which he declared he
hoped would be OF benefit to them in
their course through life. II proffer my
best wishes for your success in life," he
said. You have had opportunities
which other young ladies', graduated
from some other institutions, do not
possess, for you have had chances to
develop YOUR consciences.
'There is much talk in only gen.
eral way about morality. as though
it were something which must be taken
for granted. All other. sciences are
taught, but study of the science of NOR
ality is omitted. l do not wish to say
that morality is left out of these schools,
but the proper teaching of morality un-
doubtedly Is.
Young ladies, If after the training you
have received, you are not better
women, YOU do not deserve sue
cess in the world. BY your own life,
you will be Judged, and as will also the
system under which you have been
trained. Remember in your journey
through life, that to love humanity you
must first love God, and recollect that
that kind of humanity which Is not
based OH love Of God. finally degen-
crates into pure, unadulterated selfish
ness" He concluded by asking God 3
blessing upon the graduates. A sacred
chorus by the class concluded the ex-
ercises.

Warrington Injunction Case.

Judge A. A. Vosburg yesterday heard
testimony in the injunction proceedings
brought by the Protestant Episcopal
and the First Presbyterian churches Of
Carbondae against w. l.. Warrington,
trustee under the will of Jane Sweet
Hunt, deceased. The petition alleges
mismanagement of the estate under his
care and asks that he be restrained
from making the sale of a certain piece
of real estate at figure for which an
option had been given, and that he fur
ntsh security and such other and fur
ther relief as is necessary to protect
the interests of the petitioners.
Under the will Of Mrs. Hunt the real
estate was devised to Warrington as
trustee. the rents to be paid to her son,
James Blair Hunt, during his lifetime
and upon his death the balance to be
divided between the churches. 1t is pro-
vided, however, that if necessary the
trustee has power to sell portions Of the
real estate to provide for the necessi-
ties Of the son.
Evidence was offered to show that
the executor had disposed of one piece
of real estate, as the petitioners al
lege, unnecessarily. at an inadequate
price, and that he had given an option
for the sale Of more valuable property
at figure which the petitioners claim
was very inadequate. The respondent
claims that his actions were at the
solicitation of the son and as he be-
lieved to meet the necessities Of the
case. and that he has performed his du-
ties as trustee with fidelity according
to his best Judgment. He also claims
that the option which he gave has eX-
pired and that he has no contract with
any person for the sale of any part Of
the real estate of the decedent.
A number Of witnesses were present
to testify on each side of the case; and
commission issued to take the testi-
mony of James Blair Hunt, who is now
in California, containing the questions
and answers given by him before a
commissioner, was offered in evidence.
Judge Vosburg reserved his decision.
The petitioners We're represented by
Attorneys James L. Burr and James
Bell, and the respondent by Attorney H.
c. Butler.
Judge Vosburg handed down an order
fixing Monday August as the midsum-
mer motion day for the orphans court.
Saturday of this week will be the last
day on which the orphans court will be
in session prior to the summer vaca-
ton.
