L. Schoonover estate against Mrs. Sarah Davis, the divorced wife of A. I. Davis, the prosecutor being W. C. Stephens, executor of the estate. A. H. Woodward and Singleton Bell, of Clear field, and N. B. Spangler, of this place, conducted the prosecution while the de- fendant’s nttorney« were ex-Judge John G. Love and James A. B. Miller, of this place. O. L. Schoonover was a bachelor and some time prior to 1905 he purchased a house on the corner of Filth and Pine streets, Philipsbarg, in which Mre. Davis was in<talied as boasekeeper, Mr. Behoon- over making his home with her and her childien. A year or so previons Mrs. Da- vis separated from ber busband and in 1905 secored a divorce. When Mr. Schoonover purchased the above named property he told Mrs. Davis and others thas it was to be her home as long as she lived, but the deed he had made out in his own name. In 1906 be hecame ill, and the defendant testified that he was on the point of send- ing for his attorney to bave she property made over to her when he suddenly expir- ed. Mr. Schoonover left an estate valaed at over a quarter million dollars, tbe prinei- pal heir being J. N. Schoonover, of Phil. ipshurg. In the settlement of the estate the latter gentleman as well as the execu: tor, Mr. Stephens, would not concede Mrs. Davis’ legal right to the property she oo- oupied, which 1s worth ahont $2 300, and notified her to vacate the premises. She refused aud she above case was brought to compel ber to do so. There was quite an array of witnesses heard on both sides and the case was given to the jury late Friday afternoon. At seven o'clock that evening they retarned a verdiot in favor of the plaintiff, subject to two questions of law reserved. The verdict gave general satia- faction bas it is likely she case will be car- ried to the Supreme court. th New CHURCH DEDICATED.—The new First Reformed churob at Howard was ded- icated on Sooday with appropriate serv. ices, which began on Saturday evening with a splendid sermon by Rev. Frank Wetzel, of Rebersbarg. The dedicatory sermon on Sanday morning was delivered by Rev. Ambrose M. Schmid, of this place. On Sanday evening Rev. Samuel H. Stein, of Lock Haven, preached the sermon, and at the three services the total of $1,250 was contributed and pledged, more than enough to cover the entire balance remaining un. paid on the building. It was on January 26th, 1908, when the First Reformed congregation of Howard was organized by Rev. H. I. Crow, of Hublersburg, with thirty-six charter mem- bers. At that time services were held in the United Evangelical oharoh. Acting upon the advice of the West Sasquehanna Classis steps were at once taken looking so the erection of a church. A scitable lot, centrally located, was donated and work was begun last summer, the corner stone being laid on October 6th. The work was pushed right along aod she dedication of the church on Sanday was the resals. The edifice is of brick, of beauntifal de- sign and ample seating capacity. Its entire cost was $4,800, of whioh amouns one thousand dollars were ocon- tributed by the West Susquehanna Classis, the balance being contributed by she mem- bers of the congregation and the people of Howard. The oharch isa modern one in every respect, being equipped with beanti- ful memorial windows, lighted by eleo- tricity and heated by a hot air furoace in the basement. All the fittings are in barmony, the pews and church furniture being of golden oak.

An architect will be engaged at once to prepare the plans for the new building which will be very much on the style of the plans prepared by the school board in 1804, when the question of a new building was first disonssed. It is the present par. pose of the school board to have everything in readiness so when school closes about the first of June the old building oan be torn down and work on the new one begun at once. The foundations of the old baild- iog and as muoh of the material in is as possible will be used in the construction of the new. So far the plans for the new building are vot definite enough to give a description of what the building will be like, bus is will be large enough to accommodate the present namber of pupils and any ordinary increase for years to come. It will also be bails on modern lines and with all she lighting, heating and proper sanitary conveniences. The estimated cost of the building fally equipped and tarnished is about thirty thousand dollars. ~~ ——On Monday John Sebring Jr., sold to George R.

Williams. This will be the first time in the bistory of the county that there will be two clerks to the board of county com- missioners, and at first Shought it might appear an item of unnecessary expense. Every year, however, there is a lot of extra writing to do, such as copying and cor- reoting tax duplicates, poll books, eto., which bas been done by whomever the com- missioners could secure to do it, and the amount paid for such work was between five and six hundred dollars a year. And then, because the work was done by inex- perienced people mistakes were frequently made. With an extra clerk in the office the work can all be done there, under su- pervision of the regular clerk, and the ex- pense will be just about the same it has been for a number of years past.
