from Judge Bell, of Clearfield, in
which he refuses a new trial in the
case of Mary Metzler vs. the United
Railway Co. in which a jury gave
the plaintiff a verdict of $800 for land
appropriated for a right of way
through the plaintiff's farm.
A special plea by the defendant is
overruled in the case of Russel and Ja-
cob Doppstadt vs. A. H. Shoup in an
opinion received Monday from. Judge
Bell, of Clearfield. Mr. Shoup was
originally sued before a Justice of the
Peace, who gave judgment in favor

ANNUAL REPORT
COUNTY HOME.
The annual report of the County
Home and Hospital, recently filed,
contains some valuable information
for the taxpayers, and shows that af-
fairs were conducted economically
and creditably.
Direct supervision is under Dr. Hen-
ry Wilson, who co-operates with the
Directors, Messrs. George F. Kimmell,
J. W. Peck and Joseph Snyder, as
well as their attorney, P. G. Cober, all
of whomhave taken an active part in
minimizing the cost of maintaining
the institution, and particularly in
looking after the small claims due the
county, which in the aggregate a-
mount to considerable in a year.
Compared with the previous year
it cost the . taxpayers of Somerset
county $9,738.42 less to manage the in-
stitutions in 1914, although more per-
cons were supported and the cost of
living was generally increased from
‘what it was in 1913. In addition to the
money received from the state, and
‘from other counties and individuals
for the support of relatives, the Coun-!
ty Commissioners issued vouchers |
in 1913 for $19,071.81 in order to ligui-
date the cost of maintenance . In 1914,
the vouchers totaled $10,233.38.

Dr. Valentine Hay, in behalf of the
W. C. T. U. last week filed remonstra-
| ces against twenty three applications
for licenses, citing the identical objec-
tions which resulted in the refusal
of every liquor license in Toga coun-
ty recently in that ‘applicants must
give their respective residences and
the place for which application is
made.” Basing his reasons on the
Judge Cameron decision, Dr. Hay has
filed exceptions to the granting of
twelve retail applications, all the
breweries, distilleries and the one
wholesale applicant. The retail peti-
tions attacked are: Joseph Rush, Addi
son; Ivor Thomas, Boswell; Robt.
Pasche, West Salisbury; Peter M.
Boyer, Hooversville; W. H. Farns-
worth, Jenner; Martin R. Brennen,
Adam Stibich and John F. Werner,

strument was written April 25,1914,

ument, the decedent bequeathed his
