WILL FOR 1,000,000 A FORGERY
Court So Declares In Rejecting Schoo-
ley's Testament.
Scranton, Pa., Jan. 14.—George B.
Schooley's attempt to capture the
Crawford estaic of over $1,000,000 re-
ceived a hard setback. Judge Sando,
in the orphans’ court, handed down an
opinion in which he makes it clear
that he believes the will presented by
Schooley is a forgery.
Schooley resides in Philadelphia and
was a cousin of the late James L.
Crawford, president of the People’s
Coal company, of this city, who died
in Florida on January 19, 1905, leav-
ing an estate worth nearly $2,000,000.
Soon after his death Mrs. Crawford
had his will probated. It left practi-
caily all of the estate to her.
Sixteen months later Schooley pro-
duced a wiil, which he alleged was
made at a later date than the one
probated by Mrs. Crawford. This gave
Schooley the major portion of the
Crawford estate. Then he began his
fight to have this will recognized. He
fs now under indictment in this coun-
ty on a charge of forging the signa-
ture of Mr. Crawford to the will,
In the opinion Judge Sando declares
that the evidence furnished to prove
the will ungenuine is so overwhelming
that the court has no other course
than to refuse to consider the docu-
ment, although two witnesses have
sworn that they witnessed Crawford
sign the will in favor of Schooley. At-
torney S. B. Price, counsel for Mr.
Schooley, says that an appeal to the
supreme court will be taken.
ALLEE DEFEATED FOR SENATOR | very weak and,
Henry Richardson Caucus Nominee of
Delaware Republicans.
Dover, Del, Jan. 15.—Henry Rich-
ardscn, of this county, was declared
the Republican nominee for the United |
States senate on the ninth ballot in |
|
|
the lower branch of the Delaware |
legislature The ballot resulted:
Richardson, 20; Allee, 10; Burton, 1;
Marshall, 1: Addicks, 1; Layton, 2; |
Pennewill. 1. J. Frank Allee's sup-
porters stood by him to the last, but
the gradual defection of the
men to Richardson made the present
senator's selection by the caucus prac-
tically impossible. This action by the
Republican assemblymen virtually as-
sures Mr. Richardson's nomination as
United States senator, as it had been
agreed by the members previous to the
cancns that they would support in
joint caucus whoever received 19
votes in the meeting.
COAL OPERATOR ROBBED OF $2000
Thief Deceived Two Employes and
Left No Trace Behind.
Altoona, Pa.. Jan. 12.—George Scott,
of Philadelphia, a well known coal op-
erator, was robbed of $2000 at Por-
tage. Scott drove from Phillipsburg
to his Colonial mine, carrying the
money with him in a buggy. When he
reached the mine he left the money
locked in a tool chest under care of
the mine engineer and fireman, and
went to the shaft to make an inspec-
tion. While he was gone a man dressed
like a miner told the engineer and
fireman that Scott wanted them. They
went into the mine, found that Scott
did not want them, and hurried back
to the tool house, where they found
the box had been broken open and the
money stolen. No trace of the thief
can be found. It is supposed that the
highwayman, learning that Scott was
coming with the money, intended to
waylay him, but missed him and fol-
lowed him to the mine.
HIS BODY FOUND IN RIVER
Mysterious Disappearance of Philadel.
phia Clubman Solved.
Philadelphia, Jan. 14.—The body of
Francis X. De Lone, the young club-
man of this city, whose riderless horse
was found in Fairmount Park on Wed-
nesday, was recovered in the Schuyl-
kill river. The body was found near
a bridge which spans the river, and on
which the young clubman was last
seen riding his horse. It is believed
that his mount became unmanageable,
and that De Lone was thrown over the
guard rail into the water. This theory
is held by the police and De Lone's
friends and relatives, and is borne out
by the statement of a man who says
he saw the young man trying to con-
trol his herse on the bridge a short
time before the arimal was found wan-
dering in the park. When the police
examined De Lone's body his jewelry
and money were found intact.
TWO LITTLE ONES SUFFOCATED
4-Year-Old Boy and 2-Year-Old Sister
Met Death Playing With Matches.
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 15. — James
Pakac, aged 4 years, and his sister,
Julia, aged 2, were suffocated at their
home in a fire which they are sup-
posed to have started while playing
with matches. The children were left
alone for a short time, and when the
mother returned she found the house
on fire. The children were nowhere to
be seen. Firemen found them dead in
a room in the upper part of the house,
Their faces were scorched by the fire.
Naval Storekeepers Arrested.
New York, Jan. 15.—George W. Le-
derle and John West, employes in the
general storekeeper's department at
the Brooklyn navy yard, were arrest
ed by a United States mashal or a
charge of receiving bribes in thelr
official capacity as inspectors of ma-
terials furnished under contract to the
United States government. They were
arraigned and held in $2500 bail each
for examination Wednesday. It is al-
leged that three-quarters of the sup-
plies of the entire navy have passed
through that department in which the
men held important positions.

George Eliot's Savonarolna.
Savonarola is one of the most strik-
ing characters in George Eliot's great
historical novel “Romola,” the scene of
which is in Florence and the period
that of Savonarols’s career. The idea
of writing the book occurred to the
novelist while on a visit to Florence,
and on a second visit to the city, In
1861. she began to carry out her proj-
ect. The subject and design were for-
eign to the author's genius, but she
spared no pains in making a thorough
study of the locality, the people and
the literature of the Italian renais-
sance for the purposes of her story.
In her own words, the work “plowed
into her” more than any of her books.
She began it, she says, as a young wo-
man and finished it as an old woman.
Her picture of Florence and Savona-
rola is undeniably impressive, and
some critics declare “Romola” to be
George Eliot's greatest novel and the
character of Savonarola one of the
finest delineations.—Pearson’s, i
Size of Heads.
The average adult head has a cir-
cumference of fully twenty-two inches,
The average adult hat is fully six and
three-quarters size. The sizes of men's
hats are six and three-fourths and six
and seven-eighths generally. “Sevens”
hats are common in Aberdeen, and the
professors of our colleges generally
wear seven and one-eighth to eight
sizes. Heads wearing hats of the sizes
six and three-eighths and smaller or
being less than twenty-one inches in
circumference can never be powerful.
according to this au-
thority, “no lady should think of mar-
rying a man with a head less than
twenty inches in circumference.” Peo-
ple with heads under nineteen inches
are mentally deficient and with heads
under eighteen inches invariably idl

think the foremost and ast cars of a

anybody who reads of railroad accl-
dents. If there is a smashup, those are
the coaches that suffer. It seems
strange that some kind of a buffer is

A Lemon Instead.
“Do you know,” a pretty bride of
three months said to a friend the other
day, “I think all these jokes about
young wives having «o much trouble
with butchers and grocers and being
cheated and ail that is just too fool-
ish.”
“Then | presume you are getting on
all right with yours, dear?” her friend
inquired,
“Why, of course 1 am! Anybody
vould if they would just deal at a re-
liable place.” the young wife declared.
“Now, there is my grocer,” she con-
tinned: “he is just as obliging and
thoughtful as can be. The other day I
ordered a dozen oranges, and when
they ~1me I found there were but elev-
en in the bag, so when I went to the
store again I told him so.
* “Why, yes, ma'am,’ he said, ‘I know,
there were. I had put in a dozen, but
I noticed that one of them was spoll-
ed, and of course I wouldn't send you
any but the best goods, so I took it
out.’
“Now, don't you think that was nice
in him to be so thoughtful and hon-
est?’ she concluded.—Harper's Weekly.
Gruesome Relic of Tragedy Found.
New York, Jan. 14—The gruesome
relic of a tragedy was found in a scow
in the East river in the form of the
headless and armless body of a man.
The dismembered body had been
brought up by a dredge and carried
out to set in the mud scow, where it
was discovered and brought back. It
was taken to the morgue, and the
coroner is investigating the murder
theory. It was impossible to tell
whether the man had been drowned or
murdered and thrown into the river.

been driven to the deed by the adverse

aware that she had given her sweet-
heart a kiss.—London Mail
