BUSINESS IN COURT
HOUSE DROPS IN 1918.
Statistics for the year just closed
s' ow that a smaller volume of bhvs’
ness was transacted in the court
Louse in 1916 rhan in 1915; Clerk of
tte Orphans’ Court Charles I. Shavar
issued two less marriage licenses.
There were 496 in 1916 and. 498 ir
1915. He also had fewer estates than
during the Trreceding year. There
were 155 in 1916 and 172 in 1915.
Recorder of Deeds John E. Custer
handled less papers than during the
year before, but did more work. In
1916, 1966 deeds, mortgages, etc., were
recorded, compared to 1919 in 1315.
Bit Decorder Custer says that more
record pages were filled from the fact
that quite a few of the instruments
left with him for recording were unu-
sually lenghty, many containing auy-
where from 50 to 100 pages. !
The most notable slump, however,
was experienced at the county jail.
Sheriff Lester G. Wagner stated this
morning that he had 134 less pris-
oners in 1916 than the previous year.
' In 1916 there were 208 and in' 1915
342.

Eliazer Womer, at the home of his
youngest daughter, in Easton. She

daughter here on several occasions
and was known to several of our citi-

at the place where he was laid at
rest beside the parner of his joys and
his sorrows, the one who had trod
with him life’s rugged pathway for
many years. He is survived by cone
son, and five daughters.
