Eighteen years at solitary conflne-
ment and hard labor in the Eastern
penitentiary is the sentence imposed by
Judge Edwards, Saturday, on Michael
Davis, the Moosic police officer, who
was convicted OF second degree mur-
der, Thursday, for the shooting of Peter
Kink in Minooka saloon, Sunday
morning, February Is, last.
In passing sentence, Judge Edwards
said:
We feel pained to find a man In the
position of being a defendant III this case
and convicted Of murder of the second
degree. 1 do not know whether you have
any sorrow in your heart because you
have taken the life of your fcllow-man
There has been no indication in the case
from the beginning to the end that you
express any penitonce or that you feel
any pcnitence on account of the condition
in which you find yourself, defendant
in a case of this nature. The jury. In my
judgment. rendered mcrciful verdict
murder of the second degree was the
most merciful verdict that the jury could
possibly render under tho evidence. lf
they had found you guilty of murder Of
the first degree we would not be disposed
to disturb the verdict unless on error
shown III the submission of the case by
the court to the jury. / came very near
taking your plea of self-dcfense away
from the jury because l say now. In my
judgment there was no substantial basis
for that defense. At no time were you
in danger even of bodily harm of the
very slightest kind and for that real
son / consider the verdict merciful, and
] am willing to say that If had been on
the jury I probably would have given
you the benefit Of the doubt on the ques-
tion of premeditation and deliberations,
and that is the reason that I approve of
the verdict of the jury. You produced ev-
idence of good reputation; the evidence
was of substantial kind and l think
you established a good reputation be-
yond any question. That good reputation
will take away some portion of the SEN
tence that would be imposed upon you.
Twenty years is the maximum PEN
atty. Under the new communication act
Davis can by good behavior shorten his
term to about fourteen years.
Davis was taken to the penitentary
Saturday afternoon, together with Mac
key McDonough and Michael Judge, of
Bellevue. who are to serve ten and
seven years, respectively, for larcenies.
Judge Kelly imposed a fine of $40 on
Kate McNulty, who was convicted of
being a. common scold
Sentence was suspended in the case
Of Harry Evans, a Municipal League
detective, who plead guilty to the
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
and in the case of Lizzie Graham, con-
victed of assault and battery.

ed of perjury.

Dockerty Will to Stand.

In orphans court, Saturday, Presi-
dent Judge A. A. Vosburg handed down
an opinion dismissing the petition for
allowance to appeal from the probate
of the will of Mary Dockerty, who died
in Carbondale, two years ago, at the
age of So years.
The decedent bequeathed all her prop
erty to an adopted daughter, Mary
Burnett. The relatives instituted a con-
test, alleging undue influence and want
of testamentary capacity. The judge
decides that these allegations are un-
founded and that the will is valid.
In opening the opinion, Judge Vos-
burg lays down the rule which is to
hereafter regulate proceedings of this
kind. He says:
This being preliminary hearing the
only question to be disposed of is, wheth-
er or not there is sufficient in the evil
dence to warrant the allowance of this
appeal.
The first matter to be considered is,
what degree of proof should be required
by the court in determining the question
of the allowance of an appeal; and it is
highly important that definite rule he
established to govern the future practice
of this court upon that point.
No case has been cited by counsel where
this question of practice has been def
nitely decided, and diligent search has
failed to disclose any direct authority
upon this point Two rules have been sus-
gested; first, that an appeal should not
be allowed unless the fair weight and
preponderance of the testimony is In ia
vor of those who are contesting the will.
Second that an appeal should be allowed
whenever the contestant shows such a
substantial dispute upon a material ques-
tion of fact as would entite him to an
issue devisavit vel non under the provis-
ions of the act of March 10. 1882.
After n very careful consideration of
this question, it seems to me that the
second rule must he adopted. This be-
ing preliminary hearing, the merits of
the case cannot be finally determined
and 1t does not seem just that any higher
degree of proof should be required of the
contestant, at this stage OF the pro-
ceedings, than would be required of him
after the allowance of an appeal In order
to obtain an Issue under the Act OF 1892.
1t Is therefore laid down, as a rule of
practice of this court. that whenever an
application Is made for the allowance of
an appeal from the decree of the register
admitting will to probate. the same de-
gree OF proof will be required. as would
entitle the contestant to an issue devisavit
vel non, after the allowance of such an
appeal. Under the act Of March Is, 1882,
an issue devisavit vel non is matter of
right where there Is substantial dispute
upon material question Of fact; and
the test of substantiability In the dispute
Is. that verdict against the will could
be supported by the trial Judge. upon a
review of all the evidence adduced
douglass Est, 162 Pa. 56S.) The same
rule was laid down by Mitchell. j., in
sharpless' Est, 1874 Pa. ESQ; and many
other decisions might be cited in support
of II.

Mehaman, which constitutes the capi- tai. It is situated on the northern apex of the ain island. All Bahrein lives on pearls No subject possesses any mum dane interest for the islanders but pearls, pearls, pearls. The Arabs know nothing of the scientific doctrine that the pearl has it's genesis in some ahnor- nal development caused by a disease of the bivalve fish. The native notion is much more poetical. If a raindrop during the monsoons finds it's way into the opened mouth of an oyster it is supposed that a gem "of purest ray se~ rene is formed the size of the result tant pearl which is thus distilled being dependent on the size of the drop. The idea is beautiful, for it ascribes a heav- enly birth to the lovely product.
 From June to October all is busy on that western section of the Persian gulf. No fewer than thirty thousand fishermen and divers work the long. shallow shores. A Bahrein boat is a singular sight. It is long, deep craft, holding from twenty to forty men, of whom about one-third will usually be divers the rest oarsmen. Of the latter one is curiously named Fl Mussully. or ''he who prays." on account of some of his peculiar functions. He holds the di vine ropes if another breaks off his duty to pray or to eat.
 The sailors and divers live away on the water for three weeks at a time, or even longer if their supplies of fresh water hold out or can be renewed at the nearest spot. They live chiefly on rice, dates and fish caught daily and cooked over a little charcoal stove, generally by the ''one who prays." The diver is the victim of hard and cruel fate. His costume is scanty, indeed, for he knows nothing of diving dresses of the scientific kind. His apparatus is a very simple outfit yet it is curious, for it is peculiar to his vocation. Three objects only are included. The first is the stone with which he is weighted for the de- scent. This is fastened to a rope pass

beth. London was not so crowded a city in those days as 1t is now, and peo- pie did not travel from other countries to see a foreign monarch crowned. The earliest recorded price paid for coronation seats was In the reign of King Edward I, when a few extrava- gant sightseers are reported to have spent e." a coin equivalent to half a farthing, or a fourth of a cent, for good place from which to view the pa- geant. After that the price of seats steadily advanced, till at the time of Queen Elizabeth 1t became necessary, in order to have a satisfactory view Of things, to pay tester, or sixpence. When James I was crowned, the price had mounted to a shilling, and 1t kept creeping up with each succeeding coro- nation, till in George ITS time as much as half guinea was in some instances paid. At the crowning of George III large sums were for the first time giv en for the best seats, no less than one hundred guineas being paid in a num- Der of instances.
