tho case went oer until this morning,
when Judge Ounster will be pteseut.
In tho e-ase of U. M. Wlnton and
olhe-ih ngalnst the Mt. Jcssui Coal
companj-, a decision was made in fuvor
of the- defendant.
Tho case Blows out of a dispute
oei the leasehold of the Kebeceii Dunn

Hsncd by thice of tho IKe joint ow
ncis Tho plaintiffs soufiht to lcstraln
them by Injuetlon. The defendants de
muriecl to the bill and j-esterday court
sustained the demurier and dismissed
the bill without prejudice. Major Hv
eiett Warren represented the plain
tins and Hon. W. W. Watson the de
fendant. The exceptions to the leport of the
viewers of Section C. of the Fifth sew
ei disttict, was ntRitcd by Mr. VosbuiB
on the pait of the property boldeis.
nnd City Solicitor McGlnley for the
report. The piopettj holders aie tiy
hiB to 'et aside the Iew on tho Biound
that the Imiiroveinent was not peti
tioned for as required under the law
of 1S01. Mr. MeCilnley maintained that
no petition s necessary.
nri'UY PETITION.
The petition of Uote H. Depuy, of
Dalton, to hae couit remit the costs
which weio placed on her by the giand
Jury in lur cilmlnnl libel iiBainst V.
J. ritzfaimmons wns granted. In the
matter of MibmlltliiB the case to an
other jury couit leserved Its decision.
Mr. Vohburff arRUed for tho atipeal
from the decision of the lcuister of
wills In Hstella Woolsej's contest of
the will of hi r biothei, John Pauiot
Hon. W. W Waf-iui appealed for the
will. The petition asks to have tho
case submitted to a kn-v on the itucs-
tlons of the genuineness of the sluna-'
tute. the testamentniy capacity of the
decedent and the matter of undue in
llucnce being used by Mis. Fotuot to
Induce her husband to make hot soI
I heir and executtix.
Hmnm Wntklns' exceptions to the
auditors tepoit on the estate of her
mother, Mrs. Hmma Wntklns, deceased,
were argued at length. The will stip
ulates that the daughter shull be sup
poited from the estate until she reaches
the age of tentj--one. She has i cach
ed that age and now comes In to court
to demand from the estate what It
has cost for her suppoit since her
mothers death to the time she ob
tained the age of twentv-one. The
estate, lepiesented by Mi. Comegvs.
nnd the guaidlan, lepiesentel by Judge
Stanton and Mr. Voslung. opposed the
petition on the ground that the guar
dian has piovlded for the dauchtei's
keeping all along and that to grant
her petition would be lo paj- the al
lowance twice.
XHW TUIA1 CHANTED.
The mle for a now tilal In the case
of Mary Swift ngalmt .Michael Walsh

of tho plaintiff during the nbsence of
the defendant's attorney. Mr. Hauls,
and upon his showing Hint It was no
fault of his that the case went on
without him, couit allowed a new tilal.
For the same leason a new tilal was
gi anted In the case of Hunt nnd Connell
againbt A. P. Hedfoid. Judgment was
taken against the defendant duiliiB the
absence of his attornej-. Major T. F.
Penman When It was shown that this
occuiied thiough a misunderstanding,
for which Major Penman wns not ac
countable, the opposing attorneys,
Welles and Tonej-, acquiesced In the
Ki. inting of a new trial.
In the case of the new Schiller Build
ing and Loan association against Itob
ei t M. Hvans, admlnl'-tiator, the nilo
to open Judgment was discharged.
The petition to change tho polling

BOY'S SHOCKING DEATH.
Torn to Pieces in the Ontario Breaker
nt Peckville Causo of the Ac
cident Is Shrouded in
Mysteiy.
Wine Page, the 1.1-jcit-old son of
Mr. and Mis. Ulch.ml Page, of Hell
Place, Peckville. was Instantly killed
about 7 30 o'clock m sterility morning
at the Ontnilo colllety nt Peckville,
where he was emplojed as a slate pick
er. The lad wns llteially ten n to pieces
as a tesult of the accident and his
remains weio lemovcd to the home of
his parents In a blanket.
The cause of tho accident Is a my-sterj-,
as another lad, Edward Lee, was
with him nt the time, nnd young I.eo Is
utteily unable to explain It.
The two bojs worked on the same
"telegraph" picking !ate, and their
seats were up "head" or just about
four feet fiom the big crusher, which
was placed on a higher level. I'tom
this ci usher the shnfthiR for pullejs
extends out onie distance. When the
coal Is not running fast the lads sonic
time go up and watch the ci usher
work. Page and Lee had gone tip just
a few- moments before tho tenlble ac
cident occulted.
The lirst Inkling of a tiagedy the
otheis In the bleaker had was when
I to uuhed down and slgnnlled for tho
enplne to bo stopped. When tho olll
cl.tls went to Investigate a shocking
sight met their gaze. Arms, legs, head
and paits of the trunk weio strewn
about the small aiea-waj-, which led
past the crushei. A pottion of the
tmnl: was still hanging to the pioject
Ing siiaftlng The lemiumts weio
gatheied Into a blanket and tinned
over to an undertake! for picparatlon
for builal.
A piece of rope, about fifteen feet
In length, was found 'wound tightly
about the piojectlng shnft and to
this Is ntti United the cause of Page's
sudden death. The lope held the lad
until the lapidly involving bhnftlng
had thrashed his body Into sections.
Further Investigation niaj- throw more
light upon how the tope got theio or
how- oung Pago became entangled.
The lad's slnieks atti acted joung Lee's
attention to him, but he was power
less to stop the appalling accident,
though he had the engines stopped.
The parents of the dead lad ait pios
