 Probably the most peculiar will that was ever filed for probate in this State is that of George w. Deffenbaugh, an eccentric and wealthy resident, who leaves the church of his faith the sum of $5O,000, on condition that hsi spirit be elected a member of the board of trustees of the church and be permit ted to attend its meetings.
 MT. Deffenbaugh was a believer in the Swendenborgian faith and the church Is made the chief beneficiary of his will. though he also provided lib- erally for his wife and children. He goes very much into details in draw ing his will and stipulates that he shall be a member of the board Of trustees after death and shall be consulted in all things relating to the church.
 A plan for the government of the church is contained in the will and ths trustees are to meet and consult with his spirit regularly regarding details. Relatives of Deffenbaugh are contest ing the will on the ground that hG was insane.

THE DU PoNT BUILDING.
Considerable of what might be class
ed as the expensive work on the du Pont
Building, at Tenth and Market streets,
is now being installed. Much of this
work is ON the ground floor, but there
are also men working on practically
every floor in the building.
The first floor, however, as in most all
large buildings of this kind, will be the
most elaborate, and, as will be the case
with the whole building, will have all
modern improvements. The work in
progress on the first floor is mostly the
erecting of the partitions to separate
the various rooms. A large number of
men are engaged in this work and
from present appearances, the new
structure, when completed, will COM
pare favorably with similar buildings
in the larger cities. There is to be a
great deal of tile and marble work,
which will go towards beautifying the
first floor.
