Depositions were taken here today in a case wherein the Lathrop, township (Susquehanna county) poor district and the Nicholson township" poor district of Wyoming county are parties. The original litigation was over the residence of one Miss Georgianna Rought.

Just whether the question of residence has ever been settled or not did not appear today, but it is certain that Nicholson township district won out on the law in the case and then filed a bill of expenses, and that bill of expenses was excepted to by Lathrop township and testimony was taken here today in support the bill of costs as filed by Nicholson township. The poor masters of Lathrop took an order of removal of Georgianna Rought, a pauper, whose legal residence was said to be in Nicholson township. The proceedings were before a justice of the peace of Lathrop township and of an adjoining town; this was claimed to be irregular and the court at Montrose so held it. Then, without giving the overseers of Nicholson township any notice of the proceedings the poormas ter, Elijah Decker, of Lathrop, drove over to this county and to the home of L. L.

Stark, the poor master most handy in Nicholson township, and tried to deliver her to Stark. They re fused to receive her and Decker, left the woman and her baby there and drove off. As she was ill she was taken in and cared for and then an appeal was taken from the order of removal and the court passed on the question of removing a pauper without giving the usual and legal notice to the town where it is sought to fasten the residence of the pauper. This was in favor 'of Poormaster L. L.

Stark. All of this cost money and time and a bill was filed that, It seems, made the Lathrop poor district and its poor masters gasp and hence the objections and this continuation of litigation. James M. Kelley, the Montrose bar, was over here today taking testimony la the Lathrop 'township case. Mr.

Kelley is the chairman of the Susquehanna county Democratic standing county committee up there and active Jn politics as in the practice of the law. Wide guesses are made on things that a chap knows nothing about. A party of gentlemen took an excursion over the river by way of the ferry on Wednesday evening. Before they set sail they began to guess how long it took Captain Samuel Burns to run his vessel from bank to bank, and the guessing started at 20 minutes down to 7 minutes, and then guesses turned Into bets and every one went in with the result that a half dozen watches were held on Captain Burns as he brought his boat into port at Tunk hannock In just five minutes and the stranger in the party was taken in as usual and walked up and bought the cigars(?) for the party. This is not the first time that an out of town man has been walked across the bridge in the evening and the conversation conveniently turned to the speed of the ferry boat and guessing started, winding up in a bet with the stranger out after the long time and losing.

Unique Village, From Pearson's Weekly. There Is In Hungary a village probably unique among the world's townships, in that it not only encourages chess as a pastime, but insists that the king of games shall be played by every man, woman and child In the place. It Is Just as necessary in this out cf the world spot for the Inhabitants to be proficient chess players as It is for them to be able to read, write and cipher. Prizes are given to the school children for proficiency in chess. Problems are given to scholars that they are expected to take home and work out in their spare hours in addition to their other tasks.

Hungary has long been famous for her chess players. Indeed, this little village has, as can be well understood. turned out more than one player who has been considered fit to rank with such giants as Lasker, Steinlts and Tschigorln. Every Christmas a great tournament is held In the village, and the burgomaster gives prizes for the best Juve nile and adult players. 8aves a Woman's Life.

Up to within the past week the weather has been anything but favorable for the disposing of goods as strictly summery as porch furniture, yet we have had an unusually large sale of these goods. The high quality and low prices of the line we have been offering is the only reason we know of for the unexpected demand. Besides deducting the freight (which we saved by buying in car load lots and which amounts to about 15 per cent.) we have also cut the regular profits and have thus brought our selling price far below the usual price of furniture of similar quality.
