CAVEAT YASJOT FILED
Question of Veracity Between Atier
toi and His Dcptty.
TESTIMONY OP THB FORMER
Says Mr. Aks ly Told Ulm Ho Threw tho
Cavest In ths Waste Bssket-Mr.
Ackerly Denies That lie Did
Anything of the Kind.
There were developments of a some
what sensational nature yesterday In a
hearing; In tho office of Attorneys Hul
slander A Vosburg. before Attorney W.
F. Boyle, sitting as commissioner.
Some time ago court granted a rule
to show cause why James Nichols
should not be allowed to file a caveat
against the probating or the will of his
father, the late Dr. Hiram Nichols, of
Clark's Summit, and have It marked
as If filed Oct. &. 1SS6. Attorney Boyle
was appointed to take testimony on this
rule and yesterday was the first hearing
held.
Dr. Hiram Nichols died about Sept.
28. 1SS8, and In his will disinherited his
son, James Nichols, who says that on
Oct. 5 he directed Attorney V. W.
Watson to tile a caveat against the
probating of the will. The paper can
not now be found In the rjRlster of
wills' oftVe. and to replace It the pres
ent proceedings were begun. Mr.
Nichols maintaining that at the time
the caveat was filed the will of his
father had not been offered for probate.
Mr. McUlnley's Totlmonv.
Attorney M. A. MeGlnley swore that
In October. 1S86. he was a law student
in the office of Attorney W. W. Wat
son, who asked him about Oct. 5. of that
year, to take a caveat In the Nichols
case to the register of wills office and
have It filed. He obeyed Instructions
and gave the paper to Deputy Register
of Wills B. F. Akerly. A Mr. Clark
testified that by directions of James
Nichols Ye went to Attorney Watson's
office to have the caveat filed, and then
A. A. Atherton. who was register of
will In 1SS was called to the stand.
He said that his deputy. Mr. Akerly.
told him that Mr. McCllnley brought
In a caveat In the Nichols case, and
that he. Akerly. threw It Into the waste
basket and did not file It as directed.
James Hopkins, ths present deputy
register of wills, testified that he had
made diligent 9eairch for th? caveat,
but va unable to fin J It among thi
archive j cf the office. An adjournment
was taken until Saturday, when he
testimony of Attorney W. W. Watson
will be heard. Attorneys HulslunJer ft
Vosburg represent James Nichols and
Attorney R. H. Holgate the will.
Will Be Annexed.
When Dr. Ntchols died he left a prop,
erty valued at upwards of $15,000. If
James Nichols succeed in getting the
court to allow him to file the caveat as
of Oct. S. 1SS, he will make an effort
to fcav? the will set aside on the ground
that his father was not of sound mind
when th wtll .was mad-? and that he
was subject to undue Influence.
' Attorney B. F. Akerly was seen by a
Tribune reporter after the hearing" yes
terday and h denied In emphatic terms
that he had thrown the caveat Into the
waote bosket when It was brought to
him to file. Ho eaid tht on Oct. 6, 18S8,
the Nichols will was admitted to pro
bate and a day or two later the caveat
In question was brought to th office by
Mr. MoGlnley. He told him that It was
too tatet as ths will had been adm'-'tted
to probate and that other steps would
have to be taken.
Caveat Was Not Filed.
The caveat waa net filed for the rea
son that H would do no good to take
such action wRh regard to tt at that
time. He placed It carefully among the
papers of th? office after calling Regis
ter Ather ton's attention to It, and it was
among the papers of the office when he
severed his relations wHh Mr. Atherton
a few months later.
Dr. Nichols was the husband of Mirs.
Sarah Nichols, whore will has also b?en
contested by the children. The matter
now awaits the decision of Register
Hopkins.

Is Steadily Improving.

Believes That la Mining Towns Compul.
sory Attendance Is Keassary-ehool
Terms Are Being Lengthened and
Salaries of Teachers Iaerssslng.
County Superintendent of Schools J.
C. Taylor, as required by law, has sent
his annnual report to the state depart
ment. It contains very Interesting In
formation, and Is written In terse, vig
orous style. The mles of the depart
ment limit the yearly report of county
superintendents to 600 word. It Is a
follows:
Dr. N. C. eschaoffer. Superintendent of
Public Instruction. Harrlaburg, Pa
Dear Sir I have the honor to submit
the following report for the year ending
June S. 1896. While we have made no
startling chang.-a In our work, we be
lieve ta.t our schools are steadily Im
proving. The school terms are grow
ing lunger and salurles are rising In
mn.ny districts.
There Is a growing demand for better
teachers. In several cases trained
teachers have beeen chosen, rather than
others having strong local Influence but
poorer quallflcatlons. Never before
have there been so many students from
this county attending academies, col
!ee and normal schools but I am
sorry to say that many positions are
still .cured by the use of so-called "po
litlcal" influence without regard to qual
ifications. Until all our directors rise
above personal considerations and
choose the best teachers that apply, we
cannot have such schools as our chil
dren need.
New School lliilldlngs.
In Lackawanna township at Mooslc,
a fine six-room house, costing about
18.000, has been bulM; In Jermyn, a hand
some four-iroom high schoolhouse, witih
Smead, Wills & Co.'s system, has been
erected at a cost of about $8,000; In Old
Forge, a model two-room .house, Smead
system, at $4,000: In Fell, a substantial
two-room house for 12.500. and In Scott,
a one-room building for 11,000. All these
buildings have lurire. lofty, well-lighted
room, modern furniture and slate
blackboard. Outhouses are In a much
better condition than they were two
yea.rs ago, but there are some school
boards that In t'hls respect are neglect
ful of their duty.
I have visited every school In the
county this year, and many a second
time. Eighty-one directors accompan
ied me at different times. In too many
cases Vt was probably the only visit
made by the directors during the year.
Everywhere the need of closer super
vision is apparent. Where supervising
principals are employed, better and
more uniform work Is done. Inquiries
sent to all teachers In the county about
children out of school show that at
tendance Is better in farming districts
than In mining towns.
Many country teachers reported "No
children under 16 years out of school:
but from mining towns long lists of
children under that age out of school
were sent to me. A compulsory attend
ance law, properly enforced, will be a
great blessing In many mining towns.
Night Schools Opened.
To remedy this non-attendance evil,
public night schools have beeen opened
in all our mining towns, and continue
from two to four months each year.
But even the night eehools are to some
extent an evil, for they Induce tome
parents to send their children to work
two or thr?e years sooner than they
otherwise would. Where competent
teachers are hired for night schools,
much good work Is done; In other cases
the money la wasted.
Our annual Institute was held in
Scranton the week beginning Oct. 29.
The Scranton teachers held a separate
Institute, which reduced our enrollment
to 290. Instructors w?re Dr. N. iC.
Schaeffer, Dr. E. E. White, Dr. S. H.
Albro, Dr. E. O. Lyte, Professor C. H.
Albert, Professor F. M. Lonmls, Profes
sor J. M. Eppsteln, and Miss Leila E.
Partridge and Miss Gertrude M. Ed
mund. No stronger corps ever appeared
before the teachers of this county. Eve
ning entertainments were: A lecture,
"Character Building," by Dr. John B.
DciMotte, and a concert by Amphlan
Ladles' Quartette. Many who hard
Dr. Dc'Motte said it was the best lecture
they ever heard.
Meeting of Directors.
The second annual meeting of the
Directors' association was held on Tues
day of the institute week. They were
addressed by Dr. Schaeffer, Dr. White
and Representative John R. Farr. Top
ics discussed by the directors were:
"Compulsory Education," "How Should
the State Appropriation be Used?" and
"Educational Influences of School Out
houses and School Grounds." Discus
sion was free, and many took part. The
new officers of the association! are:
President, Thomas Hunter; vice presi
dents, John L. Stone and T. J. Jen
nings; secretary, B. J. Cummlngs; treas
urer, Horace Seacnans; executive com
mittee, T. J. Jennings, Henry Myers, L.
G. Colvln, M. J. Hora.n and Thomas
Donnelly. On motion of F. L. Wurmser
it was decided that steps should be
taken toward forming a State Directors'
association, and the following were ap
pointed a committee for that purpose:
F. L. Wormser, R. H. Holgate, T. J.

Association of Teachers.
The County Teachers' association held
Us fourth annual meeting at Scranton,
March I, 1896. Addresses were deliv
ered by Professor R. N. Davis, of Arch
bald; Professor E. L. Kemp, of Strouds
burs;: Professor George W. Twltmcyer,
of Honesdale: Mrs. - Lucy Booth, of
Scranton. and Professor Edward G.
Ward, of Brooklyn.
At the close of the year an examina
tion was held for scholars who had com
pleted the common branches. Seventy
candidates were examined, ana thirty
four, having made an average of 80
Der cent, or above, received- the common
school dlpdoma. While this plan of
graduation in comon branches may be
open to some objections, It has had a
beneficial effect upon many ot our
schools. It has aroused enthunlasm and
created a friendly rivalry among the
several districts, It hua kept pupils Hi
school who, otherwise, would have
dropped out, and has drawn attention
to neglected branches.
A comparison of results for the pavt
two years show that the plan Is grow
Ing in popular favor. Lust ytar there
were 128 pupils In the central examlna
tlonr 36 In the final, and 14 diplomas
granted. This year 234 pupils took the
central examination, 70 t hie final, and 34
diplomas were granted. It seems to
be a good thing for common school pa
pits to have a mark to aim at, and I do
not believe It wtll militate against
higher education.
Death of William Masters.
On June 13, 1895, William Masters, of
Jefferson, was killed in a railroad acci
dent; he was secretary of the Jefferson
school board, and an eamnest friend to
education. In him Jefferson lost an
hone, straightforward .u. a good
citizen, and an able school director.
Very respectfully submitted,
J. C. TAYLOR.
Superintendent of Schools of Lacka
wanna County.

nice Dinner Set If the conld afford
it Who doesn't intend to have
one as soon as she can. But it's
hard work to save i8 to $40. In
most sets there are so manj pieces
one can do without; in many, lots
short that you would like to have.
We sell you a set as you want it
sell It as cheaply as if you bought
it all at once. You can have a
dozen Tea Cups and Saucers this
week, a dozen Fruits Saucers an
other time, a dozen Dinner Plates
againany time when you can
spare the money. You don't have
to promise to take the whole set;
stop when you like. It's easy
buying a Dinner Set this way,
and we've a number of stock pat'
terns in Pretty decorations that
you can match at any time. Our
line of Toilet Sets is equally large.
