AEGUMENT COUET-
Opinions Filed of Interest to Many of Our
Readers.
An argument Court was held last
Saturday afternoon, at which time the
Court filed a number of opinions.
In the case of VV. T. Davis, vs. H.
VV.Bower. A certiorari to Headly Suit
Esq., a Justice of the Peace of Briar
creek township, the Court reversed
and set aside the judgment of the
Justice, because there was not suf
ficient evidence heard to warrant a
judgment by default, and because the
record is defective inasmuch as it did
not set forth what hour of the day
judgment was entered for the plaintiff.
Franklin Yocum, Guardian vs.
William J. Zahner. Rule to show

THE CONTRACT AWARDED.
The contract for the new church
was awarded by the building commit
tee last Thursday evening to B. W.
Jury of this place for $39,850. There
were five other bidders, but they ivere
all higher than Mr. Jury excepting
one, who estimated on Hummelstown
stone, and as the building committee
had decided to use the Yorks stone
his bid was not taken into considera
tion. The bid of Mr. Jury does not
include windows, seats, pulpits, light
or heating fixtures, but simply the
walls, frames, roof, floors &c. The
work will be commenced at once and
is to be completed by the first of
November 1896, As stated above
the edifice will be bnilt of what is
known as the Yorks stone, with Ohio
limestone trimmings. It is expected
that when completed the church will
cost $50,000.
Messrs George S. Robbins and C.
C. Peacock have been telling some of
their friends about the wild turkeys
which roam at will through this county,
and in order to substantiate their
stories, they sent a large one to one
of the gentlemen last week. It
weighed twenty five pounds, was of
the bronze variety, red legs, &c, and
after it had been dressed would pass
a wild one but it
Collecting Old Ellis.
In the spring of 1895, Dr. E. Grew-
er, who represented himse'f as a noted
cpecialist, opened an olf.ee in this city.
He hailed from Scranton and only re
mained here about two ronths, but
during that time he incurred bills ag
gregating several hundred dollars,
which are still unpaid, leeterday Dr,
trrewer s former patients in this vici
nity were astonished when a stranger,
representing himself as John L. Hoff
man, a Scranton attorney, arrived here
with $14,000 worth of judgment notes
on which he demanded immediate
payment.
Mast ot these notes tanged in
amounts from $70 to $90 oach, but
some of them ran as high as -200 or
$ioc. The signatures appear to be
genuine, but the alleged makers of
them are unanimous in declaring that
they were not in their right senses if
they signed them. Some further as
t:rt that they were not even treated
by Dr. Grewer. They are rapidly
combining issues and have already en
gaged counsel to resist payment.
When it became known that Dr,
Grewet's attorney was in town, credi
tors began pouring in on him with
bills for advertising, board claims and
other accounts that had not been paid.
Mr. Iiofimn assured them, however,
that he was only authorized to make
collections. One local attorney says
that he holSs hills against the special
ist for $400.
l lie victims ot the physician are
numerous and embrace a number of
well known citizens, many of whom
maintain that they never signed any
notes to their knowledge. Attorney
Hoffman declares that he intends to
enter up all notes that are not paid at
once.
The above article appeared in the
I'ublic J'ress of Northumberland last
week. We also have reason to remem
ber Dr. Grewer. He is indebted to
this office for advertising which he has
failed to pa v. How would it do for
his creditors to pool their issues and
attach some of this money he alleges
is due him r
A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY.
The window of Mercer's drug store
is attracting a gre.it deal of attention
The work of the taxidermist is beaut

a fox, which evidently is being chased
by dogs, and he is stopping to rest
alert however, and listening for the
dogs. IIw front foot is raised, and
his ears erect. A large Mallard,

also pheasants, quail, woodcock, rail
birds, &c. The whole collection

The boroKch of Berwick has solv
ed the tramp question. The Town
Council passed an ordinance forbid
ding begging from door to door,
Several tramps were arretted for vio

spend some time improving the roads
m that borough, which they have
been using heretofore gratis. If that law
can be enforced in Berwick, why can t
it be enforced in Bloomsburg ?
TIM THE TINKER-
John E. Brennan, the Irish Come
dian, has been the recipient of much
attention from the Irish national soci
eties around the country. 111s ap
pearance at the Opera House on next
nday evening will be of interest to
the Celtic portion of our citizens, who
are fond of a good Irish drama. The
play in which he appears is "Tim the
Tinker." The author has departed
somewhat from the time-worn method
usually emploved in constructing a
drama, and in "Tim the Tinker" there
are no land sharks, no process serving
menial, no collusion of the simple
Irish lad and the too confiding Eng
lish soldiery.
The story of the play is strong in
its simplicity.
During the performance Mr. Bren
nan will sing the following songs:
Who'll Buy My Tins, Mamie Carey,
Fairies Looking-Glass, Making Tin
Cups, Mollie Me Darling, I see You,
True Irish Gent, (lullaby) Don't You
Cry Baby, and List to the Thrush,
also his famous Jig and Reel dancing.

former suit should not be directed to '
be paid by the Plaintiff, now December
list, 1895 the rule to show cause why
th Plaintiff should not pay costs is
discharged and the rule to amend is
made absolute.
In the estate of Jacob Hinterleiter
deceased. This was a rule to show
Cause by ItiS executors of said Hinter
leiter should not pay to William Smith
the sum of $345. 66, and why the con
firmation absolute of the final account
of said executors should not be strick
en off and the same be reviewed. It
was alleged in the petition that the
executors had failed to account for
certain notes held by them as executors
against themselves as debtors of the
estate, and that they had neglected
and refused to pay the petitioner his
share of said estate arising from the
said notes. The executors answered
saying that they had filed their final
account, in which they had accounted
for said notes. That owing to debts
there was not sufficient funds to pay
the full amount of his share of the
said notes. And now December 21st
1895 the rule requiring the executors
to make payment of$4.6 is dis
charged, and th demurrer to the rule
to show cause why the confirmation
of the final account of said executors
should not be stricken off and said
account reviewed, is over-ruled, and
the executors of the said Jacob Hinter
leiter, deceased, are required to file
their answer within thirty days from
this date.
Bloomsburg Banking Company, vs.
I. W. Willits. This was a case stated
in whih the Court was requested to
determine whether the title to certain
stock of the Bloomsburg Carpet Works
was in I. W. Willits, and therefore
subject to the levy of the plaintiff or
in L. E. Waller and the Bloomsburg
Artificial Ice Company claimants.
The Court said that that question
could not be decided as the matter
now stood, and suggested that a case

Chaplain McCabe was greeted with
a crowded house last Thursday even
ing, when he delivered his celebrated
lecture, "The Bright Side of Life in
Libby Prison." For one hour and a
half he held the audience spell-bound.
As a lecturer, he has a reputation
second to none in the whole country,
and he fully sustained it last Thursday
evening. Among his audience were
some of the best people of the town,
who, judging from their comments,
felt themselves fullv repaid for their
attendance.

of the company were found to be in a
