District Attorney Jones hereby an
nounces his candidacy for renomlna
tlon for District Attorney of Lacka
wanna county. During the past two or
three years Mr. Jones has quietly se
cured an organization of what he terms
Willing Workers, whoso names are un
known to tho public and who have
pledged to work at the polls for his
renomlnatlon and election. He favored
an early convention, because a grott
amount of camtm.'un work will not be
necessary In hW case. The organiza
tion of workers was completed some
time ago, and numbers among them
some of the most prominent aud act
ive men throughout the county. Mr.
Jones Is well-known In every nook and
corner of Lackawanna county. His re
cent sickness has prevented him from
making an earlier announcement of his
candidacy through the public press, al
though he Intimated to his friends
months ago that he would be a candi
date for renomlnatlon. Coming In con
tact with his friends, he will bo de
prived of the use of his right hand on
account of his recent Injury. Mr. Jones
and his friends sav that there can be
no question about his renomlnatlon.

HOME-MADE WILL

Children of Rose Toohill, Only
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael
Toohill, Attack a Will Mado by
Their Grandmother, Through
Whichi Their Grandaunt Claims the
Toohill Estate Tho Will Is an
Odd Instrument Other Court
Matters.
One of the oldest wills ever probated
in tho local court has been made the
subject of a contest. It in the "last
will and covenant" of Mary .Toohill,
deceased, wife of Michael Toohill, de
ceased, one of tho old-time West Side
merchants, whoso place of business
was at the corner of Ninth and Jack

Tho contestant are the four minor
children of Rose Toohill, only daugh
ter of Mary Toohill, who sue through
their guardian, Attorney H. W. Thayer.
It appears that all of tho Toohill
property was In tho wife's name. She
died October , 1892, and on April 13.

Daniel Dradley. mark.
Michael Toohill died March IS, 1897,
leaving a will which made his sis
ter, Ann McKee, sole heir. Tho chil
dren now oppose their aunt's posses
sion of tho property on the ground that
their grandfather could Mot beciutat'n
it, he having had only n life estate
In It.
Tho legal ground on 'which this)
claim is based Is set forth as follows
In an appeal from the decision of
Register Koch, admitting the Mary
Tohlll will to probate:
Bald Mary Toohill was a married woman whose
husband was living and said alleged will not
having been witnessed by two or more witncssei
as required by the act of assembly of April 11,
1818, was invalid nnd of no effect whatever, and
passed no title to said Michael Toohill other
than that which he enjoyed by tho intestate
laws of the commonwealth.
This title would be a life-interest In
the estate. At his dea,th, the property
would descend to the wife's heirs,
who, In tho present instance are the
grandchildren.
When the matter was presented to
court yesterday, the Judges fixed May
14 next as the time for hearing tes
timony and arguments.
Michael Toohlll's will cut the grand
children off with five dollais apiece.

Piano
You, of course, want the highest quality of tone,
touch, action and beauty of exterior you can afford, but you
must have durability. Durability marks the distinction
between an "instrument cheap" and a "cheap instrument."
DURABILITY is the password to our warerooms,
and unless a ptano clearly demonstrates its full possession
of this quality it cannot enter therein. With us the matter
of selecting a piano resolves itself to two considerations
taste, and how fine au instrument you can afford. We have
a complete line from an excellent durable piano for $250,
to the finest on the market. No possible chance to make
a mistake aud get a "make-believe" piauo, because we do
not sell them. A fine assortment of slightly used Upright
Pianos at almost nominal prices.

to a Tribune man yesterday, In broken
English, and It Is to the following
effect: "I was walking along, about
7 o'clock, when two men stopped me.
They asked me for my money, and I
said I had none. They then struck
me and knocked me over tho bridge.
I fell to the ground, and at last man
nged to get to my feet, and walk
along. It was between 2 and 3 o'clock
when at last I reached home."
