Eye Glasses
You realize that wrong eye
glasses will ruin your sight, white
tho right glasses strengthen and
Improve the sight. Realizing
these things, can you afford to bo
careless? Perhaps you do well
to call on mo anyhow and find
out whether you have the right
lenses or not.

It Was Handed Down Yestenlny by
Judge A. A. Vosbuig in the
Orphans' Court.
In the ai plums' couit j'tsteiduy, JudKe
A. A. Vasbur, handed clow n un ojiin
lou In the matter of the estate ot Eliza
beth 52legler, deceased, In which ho or
tlei.s that the tiuestltin at It-sue be cer
tified to th coutt of common pleas for
a determination of the lacts. Judse
Vosburg's opinion follows in part:
On October flth, 100.', I.Uetta Kou and
Charles Itose, her husband, piesented
their petition to this coutt setting' loitli
that Elizabeth Zlcsler in her life time
took out two policies of lncutance on her
llfo Mith tho Ptudentl.il Xnsuraniu Com
pany of Amu lea, fur the ngKicc.ito -inn
of $707.00; that hhe gave In her llfetimH
thf slid policies to tlie petitionuis, that
the decendenl assigned to .said potltlonets
tho said policies; that she tlelleietl them
to the petltioneis and that they paid the
prLinlums thereon until tho death of the
testatrix; that the company paid the
amount of s.tld policies to tho executor
under the will of RHzabeth Zlegler, de
ceased, and that he l of used l) jny over
tho same, to tho petilioncis.
They thoieforo ask for an lito to ho
ceitlfictl to the com I of common pleas
tii deteimlne the ownuishtp of said insur
anco fund. Tho executor filed an answer
to this petition denying the lacts set
forth theieln -o far as they lelato to the
assignment of tho policies and claims
tint tho Insuianco money v.a the piop
ei ty of the estate ot Mrs. Zlenlcr.
A lartje amount of testlmotn hu been
taken on each side, and Mlillo the estate
appears upon the iccoid as the defendant,
the contest Is really between the petition
ers and the eieditois of tho estnto as It
plainly appeals by the c-ildcncs that Mis.
Zlegler died Insolvent. It is not contend
ed that the otphans' couit has no power
to awaul un issuo of this chataclei if
tho evidenco Man ants it.
The lespondents eontend that in the
fiist lilaco tlieie is no ovldcnt of a gift
to Chailes Rose and X will Htatc that this
contention is coiroct. 11 tho t?ift vas
made as claimed it nt made bv Eliza
beth Zeinlor to her daughtci, Lizctta
Rose. The lespondents also claim that
tho Oiphans' couit has m jurisdiction
to determlno tho ownership of the pio
ceeda of theso Inbiuanco policies tind that
tho petitioners should be lcnuhod to pic
sent their claim In sonio other foim.
Judge Voshurg says he is satisfied
that the Otphans' court has jurisdiction
to award an issue If the evidence wai
rants it and theicfoio ordets that an
issue be certified fiom the otphans'
court to the couit of common pleas of
Lackawanna county to bo submitted to
n juiy for tho determination of the fol
lowing question:
"Did Elizabeth SHozlor In her lifetime
usslgu or glvo to Llzottn. Rc-o two poli
cies ot insuianeoiin tho l'ludcutiul In
suranco Company of Aineilea, No. M197J
und Cii!C35J?" In this ibsue lot I.tzotta
Rosa stand as philntiff, and August K.
Schneider, executor undor tho Mill of
Elizabeth Zlegler, deceased, stand as de
fendant. It Is fuithcr otdeicd that all
proceedlngf, In the matter ot tho dis
tribution of tho estate ot Elizabeth SCIeg
lor, deceased, bo stayed until tho final
determination of tho tiucstlon thus sub
mitted to tho couit of common pleas lor
tho finding of a Jury; but this older !j
not to atfect the hearing of exceptions to
tho executor's account, except as to inat
tera involved In this lssuis
It beams piopcr to stato In tills con
nection that August r. Schneider tho ex
ecutor has acted in poifect good faith
and with tho utmost pioptloty so tar ab
tho evidence goes, hi cailng for tho In
terests of this estate lor c.ttofully at
tending to his duty In tho collection ot
this instil auto and in claiming It lor tho
estate. In no aspect of tho caso tlieio
fmo can ho bo hold liable lor any of tho
costs ami espouses Incident to this con
tioversy. When tills issue shall ha
been finally delei mined in tho couit of
common pleas and cei tilled back to or
phans' couit, let tho p.nttles in Inteiest
bi lug tho matter befoio Iho oiphans'
couit for final doleimluatlon.

Vosbuig handed down nn opinion dis

sWnton Bicycle Club Will Probably
Finish on Top in the Bicycle Club's
League Race Kicks at tho Fre
quency of Postponed Games Are
HeardWharton's Score of 278 Is
a New Record for Hampe Alleys,
Max Graf, of Buffalo, Makes a
Score of 300,
With only six more games to be l oiled
by tho teams comprising? tho Wcyelo
Clubs' league, It would seem as If the
Scranlon Bicycle club team will finish
on top, with the Electric City Wheel
men cIofc seconds. The Green Ridge
Wheelmen have been bowling In better
form of late, however, than they did at
first and they may come out second
best even yet. The Suburban team,
which haa done tho most remarkable
team work over seen In this city, has
played up n gainst all kinds of hnrd
luck and linn no show for cither first or
second honors.
The loeul admlicrs of bowling uro
kicking at the frequency Mlth which
games are postponed In the City lengue
und the members of one or two of the
teams, which have not permitted tilvlnl
Inconveniences to inteUctc with their
playing, are also sore. There were no
less than three postponed sets of games
hist week, nnd as a consoauence It is
impassible to tell just what the stand
ing of the tenins is. There are only
six more games 1o. bo rolled by each
team, according to the schedule, befote
the first series will bo over.
The captains nf at least two of the
teams in the City league- propose to
protest in the future if tho rule pro
hibiting players bowling with any ex
cept their regular teams is not lived up
to. One player in the league has al
leady bowled match games with no less
than four teams, and there aro several
who have bowled with thiee teams.
The captains of the two teams In ques
tion say that if this thing Is attempted
they will insist that substitutes be
played, or else they will refuse to bowl.
it Jr u ii
Captain "Bobby" Wharton, ot the
Huinpo team, has broken Hopkins' rec
ord for tho Hampe alleys by making n
scoie of 27S a lew dajs ago. In the
game before that he made a. total of
209. The iccoid for the city is at pies
ent held by Mux Feldman, of Noith
Scranton. who made 2S7 on the Audl
toiluni alloys. It is alleged by some,
however, that in the contest in which
ho- was lolling no attempt was made to
stilctly cnfoie-o the rules.
Max Graf, of Buffalo, lp.ule a sioie
of S00 on the Iroquois alleys In that
city last week. This Is the highest pos
sible scoif; which can be made at bowl
ing, and thougli It has been made De
fine, it is so seldom tolled up that
Oinf's feat Is deseiving of moio than
passing mention. It lequlres twehn
straight strikes to make a total scoto
of 30ft, but Graf's lecord Is moie wnn
deiful still when it is nndei stood that
he made seventeen sti .light Mi ikes, the
other live being on the tall-end ot an
other game.
