Chaplain McC'abe in his lecture here Tuesday evening, referred to the acci dent and stated that the woman had a bottle of whisky with her and that the bottle of whisky was picked up un broken after the terrible accident and carried after her.

The writing that purports to be the last will and testament of the late David Dougal, was without doubt ( written when he was in the last stage of life, but as Judge McDermitt virtually took the case from the Jury, leaving th«m nothing to pass upon, excepting as to the matter of undue influence al leged to have been exerted by Mr. Mitchell, and on which point there was no direct evidence, the Jury was forced to find for the plaintiff and sustain the will. We are informed, however, that the Jury on retiring, first took a vote as to what would have been their ver dict, had not Judge McDermitt's extra ordinary charge prevented, and that they would have been unanimous in finding for the defendants. The case will now go before the Supreme Court where Judge McDermitt's "peculiar views on wills" as he himself describ ed to Mr. Jenks, will be ventilated. —Carpets, a fine stock, at low prices, at Heck & Paterson's. —The method taken by Chaplain McCabe to raise money, reminds us of that of a street swindler who was in Butler several years ago. This fellow (the swindler) hired a two horse rig at one of our livery stables, put a lot of cheap jewelry into the buggy, drove up to the corner of Main and Jefferson streets, drew a crowd around him by loud talking, sold one lot of jewelry at a reasonable price and then gave each of hiscustom ers his money back, sold another lot at a high price and again returned the money, and kept on repeating the oper ation each time raising his prices, until for the last lot he had money in his hands amounting to many times the cost of all the polished pewter he had sold and'given away, when thanking his customers yery kindly, he bade them a pleasant good-day and quietly drove off. And there was nothing criminal in the business, the man hadn't promised to return the money, it was his, and the Commonwealth had no case against him. There was a species of deception, however, in his method of doing business, and so, too, there is in Chaplain McCabe's. The difference in the two cases is this—the swindler deceives people for his own personal gain while McCabe is working for the Church. The money he raises by his peculiar method is devoted to the work of church extension, the grandest work that human beings can engage in. "The end justifies the means" is the preacher's motto, and the man in trade who tries to adver tise his business by having his name called out for twice as much as any other person gives, thinks, perhaps, that the means will justify the end.

COURT PKO('El>nm The following case to test the validity of a will of the late David Dougal, occupied the whole of last week. The case is stated on the record as follows: L. Z. Mitchell, Executor and Devisee, and Catharine Protzman, William Protzman anu William M. Dougal, Devisees under the will of David Dougal dec'd, vs. A. P. Wilson, Wm. A. T. Wilson, Anna D. Wilson, Mrs. Carolina Ennis, JoJin X. Anderson and Maggie J. Auderson, his wife, in the right of his wife, Helen A. Dougal, and James Dougal. This was au is sue framed to try the validitv of David Dougal's last will and testament. Who David Dougal was is well known to all the readers of this paper. Suffice it to say that on the Bth day of November, 1881, he died at the great age of 102 years, one month and fifteen days. The oldest man, in all proba bility, that ever resided in any part of Butler county, lu the trial of the case a scrap of paper was produced by Mr. Anderson which is said to be in the hand writing of the father of David Dougal, which is a record of the dates of birth of his children. The following is the record. On the back of the old paper is the following: "Account of the children's ages." The paper reads as follows : "James Dougal born on the first day of September, 1774. ' John Dougal born on the 29th day of January, 1778. "David Dougal born on the 23d day of September, 1779. "Mary Dougal born on the 21th day of March, 1781. "Sally Dougal born on the 16th day of April, 1783. 1 "Samuel Dougal born on the 4th day of February, 1785. "Ann Dougal born on the 3d day of May, 1789." David Dougal died Nov. Bth, 1881. yr. mo. day. Died 1881 11 8 Born 1779 9 23 Age 102 1 15 The defendants in the case are grand j nephews and grand nieces of Mr. Dou g«l- The Wilsons are nephews and ueices of Gan. Andrew Porter Wilson, late of Huntingdon Pa., who was a man of note, and a very intimate friend of Col. Lowry. L. Z. Mitchell, Esq., had been for many years the attorney, and confidential adviser of Mr. Dougal and as such had charge of his business. In 1874 Mr. Dougal became blind. At that lime he was owner of one hundred acres or land in Summit township and two lots in the borough of Butler. In 1878 he found a home on his farm with William and Catharine Protzman, who had been his tenants for abont 20 years. Soon afterwards be made a deed to them for one-half of his farm in consideration of their taking care of him and decently burying him at his decease. In 1879 he made them a deed for the remainder of the farm as additional consideration for the same purpose. On the 31st day of Decem ber, 1880, Mr. Mitchel drew the last will and testament of Mr. Dougal, in which he devised his town lots to Mr. Mitchell, the Protzmans, Wm. Dougal and James Dougal, one fourth each. That will was witnessed on that day by the four children of the Protzmans, Johu, William, Maggie and Mary Then about six months afterwards it was witnessed by a neighbor, August Jeck maa. The devise to Mr. Mitchell was to be iu full for all the services render ed by him to the decendent. The de vise to the l'rotzmans was in consider ation of or an additional pay for the care rendered by them. When the will was presented to the Register for probate the Messrs Wilsons objected to it on the ground that the testator had not sufficient mind and memory to make a will and that influence and fraud had been used in procuring him to make such a will. The Register, after hearing the testimony of the sub scribing witnesses, refused to admit the will to probate, and certified the present issue to the Court for trial. Mr. Mitchell being related to both our Judges by marriage they could not try the case. They so certified, and called upon Hon. A. McDermitt, President Judge of Mercer county, to try it. Hon. (Jeo. A. Jenks, of Brookville, Jefferson county, was present anil, with local counsel, represented the defense. Mr. Jenks was comparatively a stranger personally to our people, yet his repu tation as an upright and able lawyer and statesman has reached every town and hamlet in the country. His polite ness and his strict observance of the rules of professional courtesy won the respect of every one. The case came on trial on Tuesday the 21st. The Protzman boys and girls, who are witnesses to the will, were first called. Mr. Jenks moved the Court for an order removing the young Protzmans from the Court room and let each one be called and testify with the others absent. Upon one of the defendants filing an affidavit that he bad reason to believe there was collusion and signs between these wit nessess which he had observed at the hearing before Register Gallaher, the motion was granted and the <vitnesses retired to one of the jury rooms and were called one by one and testified. Johu Protzman said: A short time before the will was made Mr. Dougal requested him to come to Butler and tell Mitchell to come out and bring his papers and some writing paper; that on the 31st of Dec., 1880, his father came to town and brought Mr. Mitch ell out in a sled ; that it was after din ner, and that after Mr. Mitchell got something to eat (and by the way Mr. Mitchell was never known to refuse) he went into the room, and it was made known to Mr. Dougal that Mitch ell was there, lie said, "Mr. Mitchell, did you bring my papers and some writing paper." Mitchell said he had. Dougal said, give me the papers. Mitchell gave him the papers ; Dougal then moved up to the fire and threw two deeds and a former will into the fire; he asked if they were burning ; somebody said they were; he then said, now, Mr. Mitchell, I want you to write me out another will: Mitchell says, how do you want it made: Dou gal said, I want to divide my town property into four shares, one for Protzmans. one for James Dougal, one for Wm. Dougal and one for you, Mr. Mitchell; Mr. Mitchell says, thank you, Mr. Dougal, you are very kind ; that Mitchell wrote as Dougal told him, and, when it was done, read it over, and Dougal said it was right—just as he wanted it; then Dougal asked if the children were present; he was told that John and William were in the i room aud Maggie and Mary were in the kitchen ; he said, call them all in, I j want them to sign my will; then Dou ( gal said to John, steady my hand so i I can make my mark; after he had j made his mark he said, i 9 it plain—can |it be 9een ; then they signed as wit ; nesses, and l.e told Mitchell to take | the will, keep it and see that it is car ! ried out. On cross-examination this witness said that Mitchell did most of the talk ing. Re-direct he corrected himself and said Dougal did the talking, but again being interrogated by Mr. Jenks he said Mitchell would write, then j read it to Donga! and ask him if it was j right, and Dougal would say yes. The testimony of all the Protzmans, father, mother and other children, did not vary from John's statement. August Jackman was callen in some time the following May to sign as a witness. The will was read to Mr. Dougal, but he refused to let Jackman sign as a witness. In June he was sent for again. This time the will was not read. Mitchell just pressed he paper against Dougal's hand and said, this is your will, and Dougal said yes—yes ; and then Jackman signed as a witness. Each of the Protzmans testified that they had not tried to influence the old man in making a will in their favor. Mr. Mitchell testiGed that he had been the attorney and confidential ad viser of Mr. Dougal for about 20 years. That Mr. Dougal told him one time he would make him an heir. That he used no fraud or persuation to get the devise made by Mr. Dougal to him. That he had visited Mr. Dougal al most every week for the last year or two of his life. That Dougal had sent Protzman on Sabbath day for him to come out and see if he could not get permission from the trustees of the Lutheran church in Summit township to bury him there. That if he was buried on the farm, people had prejudices and might desecrate his grave. That many of the settlers were buried there and that in early years he was instrumental in getting that piece of ground set apart as a cemetery. The Protzmans, Mr. Jackson and Mr Mitchell, all testified they believed Mr. Dougal was of sound mind an 3 had cappcity to make a will on the 31st of December, 1380. The plaintiffs rested. Mr. Jenks gave notice that the de fence would take the position that the burden of proof was upon the plain tifis not only to show testamentary capacity, but to show the absence of fraud and undue influence. That when the attorney and confidential adviser draws a will and none of the testator's kindred is present, and the attorney who drawsthe will is a devisee, the good faith of the transaction must be shown. The Court took a different view of the case. The defence showed by Col. Thomp son and Judge McCandless that they had been employed by Mr. Mitchell in this case on the day of Mr. Dou gal's funeral. Mr. A. P. Wilson said he saw his grand uncle in 1871 for the first time, and visited him frequently after that. He was on intimate terms with the old gentleman. A photograph of Mr. Dougal and Mr. Wilson was produced and offered in evidence. Mr. Wilson wanted Mr. Dougal to dispose of his property to his poor re lations and come to Huntingdon and live with them. The old man said he wanted to stay in Butler because the people in Huntingdon would all be strangers to him. He said that he got w r ord from a friend in Butler of Mr. Dougal's death, and he and his brother came on im mediately.—That he called on Mr. Mitchell and found the old man was to be buried the next day after his death. He inquired why this indecent haste. Mr. Mitchell replied that the Protzmans had trouble enough with him and wanted it over as soon as possible. That he went out to Protz mans on the day of the funeral and met Mrs. Protzman at the door, and about the first thing she said was 'deed, 'deed, indeed Mr. Wilson, we did not try to influence the old man in making his will. That he had not accused her of undue influence. That he did not know even that their was a will when Mrs. Protzman said this and when Mr. Mitchell employed counsel. James Dunlap and a number of wit nesses were called who testified to the condition of Mr. Dougal's mind, and they were of opinion he was not in condition to make a will. Mrs. Sykes testified the old man had a paralytic stroke in 1874, and that his mind was in bad condition thereafter. That he had frequently said to her, "once a man and twice a child." That he was a child again. The deposition of Mrs. Judge Mc- Candless, of Pittsburgh, wa3 read. She said Mr. Dougal, although a man of extraordinary mind, was easily im posed upon from the fact that he was entirely honest and upright and had too much confidence in the honesty of others. The testimony of Doctors Reed, Gallaher and Hengst, of Pittsburgh, was also read. These gentlemen have had long experience with cases of in sanity. They testified that a man 102 or 103 years old, or thereabouts, blind, partially deaf, greatly eufeebled in body, of externally filthy habits, for getful, repeating the same tiling over aud over again, would not be of suffi cient mind to make a will. They were corroborated by Drs. Neyman and Cowden. The defence introduced the testi mony taken before Register Gallaher for the purpose of contradicting the Protzmans. The plaintiffs offered to call wit nesses in rebuttal and Mr. Jenks theu made his objection, as he intimated he would do when the plaintiffs closed their case in chief, alleging that the evidence offered was not rebutting, but a part of plaintiff's case in chief. Court overruled the objection and sealed an exception for the defendants. The plaintiffs then proved by Rev. Cronenwett, Gen. J. X. Purviance, Samuel P Irvine, Alex. Mitchell, Judge Mitchell, and quite a number of witnesses who were intimatelv ac quainted with Mr. Dougal, that They were of opinion he .had capacity to make a will. The case closed at noon on Friday. ; —The entire afternoon was taken up in argument of the legal questions iu ! the case by Col. Thompson for plain j tiffs, and Mr. Jenks for defendants, j. The facts were argued toth«jury by Col. Thompson and judge McCand less for plaintiffs, and Mr. Campbell and Mr. Jenks for defendants, and oc j cupied two hours on each side. His Honor Judge McDermitt charged the jury that there was a growing disposition in courts and juries to interfere with wills which ought not to be tolerated. That a man's will ought to be sustained un less clearly proven that there was a want of testamentary capacity, and that it was procured by fraud or un due influence. That the law presumes that every ! man iscapable of makinga will, and that there was not sufficient evidence of want of testamentary < apacity in this case to submit it to thejurv and, there ! fore, the jury were instructed to find for . the plaintiffs on that branch of the case. 011 the other branch of the case i fraud and undue influence must be 1 proved and not inferred. That there was no direct proof of fraud aud undue influence. If the jury believe the testimony of Mr. Mitchell they should find for the plaintiffs; if not, for the de fendants. The jury af f .er being out a ?hort time returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, which sustained the will. The defendants will take the case to the Supreme Court and are very san guine of reversing the Court here. The Supreme Court in a number of opinions has set the seal of disapproba tion upou attorneys acting as such and drawing wills under which they take to themselves large portions of the prop erty devised. The defendants claim that in Cuth berton's Appeal, a recent case decided by the Supreme Court, that tribunal held that a will made by a man who was admitted to be in good mind, but the will drawn by his lawyer who was to derive a large benefit therefrom, could barely be established. That it is against public policy to countenance such instruments, and that when this case comes before that Court, the most remarkable will case ever tried in the State, the decision will be in effect not only to pronounce this will void, but that all wills hereafter made under like circumstances shall be entirely void.

A Mercer county paper warns farm ers against signing leases which purport to be for oil purposes/ only but in reality convey coal and all other min eral rights for the time specified. The advice is timely. Land owners should never sign a paper unless they fully understand its contents, and as a gen eral rule it would be better to take the advice of a competent lawyer before leasing their territory. There are so many ways of making a living by "hook or crook" that caution is always in order. Uooil llon*c and Lot lor Sale.
