day. The superior court held arguments in several Wyoming county eases yester dav. Among the attorneys from Tunkhanock that ere present were; Hon. E. J.

Jordan. C. O. Dershimer, W. Piatt, J.

E. Frear, W. E. Little, C. A.

Little and W. E. Young. A case of considerable luterest that was argued was that of an appeal taken by Dunham, Buckley Co. from the decree of Judge Dunham of Wyoming county in the disctribution of the funds arising from the sheriff's sale of the goods in the store of A.

Rundle at Nicholson. Ths goods were advertised on several writs before the appellant obtained a judgment against Mr ami thpp rrditnrs unit ed in arguing that the store room might remain open until the day of sale which was fixed for April 29 at 10 a. m. so that Mrs. Rundle could have access to a mililnery store which she was con ducting in a room in the rear of her husband's store.

The attorneys for appellant asked the sheriff to adjourn the sale until April 30 so that the appel lants could obtain a judgment on April 9 and issued an execution. Part of the execution creditors re voked the consent of the sheriff to allow the building to remain open before the appellants issued their execution. Messrs. E. A.

and C. A. Little and C. H. Welles, contended that the writs of the other creditors should be postponed to theirs because A Rundle made some private sales before the sheriffs sale took place.

Counsel for the appellees, A. A. Vosburg, and E. J. Jordan, argued that the court was right in distributing the money to their clients, because there was no agreement on their part that private sales might be made, and the agreement that the store might remain open was revoked before the writ of the appellants was issued.

They further contended that the counsel for the appellants had no right to request an adjournment of the sale and by so doing they were stopped from taking an advantage so gained.

COURT ONE CASE ON TRIAL FOR MANY YEARS. Vicissitudes of the Same, According to th Court, Give Excuse for the New Equity Ruleo Ths Petitions In the Case Dismissed at the Cost of the Plaintiff A Coal Land Lease Dispute Disposed of Temporarily.

Judge Edwards filed two opinions in court yesterday, one in the case of Catharine Finnessy, which has been in the courts since It is an equity case and involves the title to the Gad win property on Penn avenue. Court says the complainant's bill was tiled in March, 1S8S. Many obstacles have interfered with the progress of the case. It was referred to a master and ex I flmmml TWamhir IK' 1S.V.I vrrin POIT1' rnenced taking testimony in Hay, 1SS0. rtime and at the end of one year the testimony on the plaintiff side closed.

In the defendants closed their testimony. The case remained in the hands of the master for over three years. In September, 1805, he resigned his office of master without making a report and in due time tne vase was ordered on the equity list to be tried under the new equity rules. This goes to show how long the disposition of cases may sometimes be retarded in the courts. Judge Edwards says: It may be well said that the vicissitudes which this case has undergone in its slow progress to a final determination afford a strong Justification for the ex istence of the new equity rules, THE DECISION.

TVhen the court was begun the plaintiff resided in Cameron, Steuben county. New. York. Judge Edwards finds the following facts: On August 12. ISOo.

Mary Fitzgerald, then wife of Richard ntzsrerald, became owner of the lot on Penn avenue (25x50 feet) In September, 1S00, Mrs. Fitzgerald joined her husband gave Thomas Anglyn a mortgage to secure $3,000. This mortgage was assigned to Michael Reap in January IStW. In June. IStiT.

Mrs. Fitzgerald and her husband gave another mort easre on the same land to Jordan Feurv of New York for $3,000. Richard Fitzgerald died in 1874 and his widow married Peter Godwin in May, 1S76. Mrs. Godwin, formerly Fitzgerald, died intestate in January, 1S79.

Her husband. Peter Godwin, was ap pointed administrator in October, 1SS0. Her surviving heirs were her husband and sister Catherine Finnessy, and the plaintiff in this case. Mr. and Mrs.

Godwin during their married life lived on the premisese in question The Michael Reap mortgage was assigned to Peter Godwin in December, 1S70, and the Jordan Feury mortgage was as signed to Mary Godwin in July, li The payments on this latter mortgage were made by Peter Godwin. in August. 1SS5 a scire facias was issued (on the Anglyn Reap mortgage) This scire facias was returned nihil as to Richard and Mary Fitzgerald and service on Peter Godwin. Another scire facias was issued and returned nihil as to the Fitzgeraids. On May IS.

li0, judgment was entered for $4,502, and March, lfS7, the land was sold by tne sheriff to Peter Godwin for C25. The sheriffs deed was acknowledged in September, 1SS7. Peter Godwin died the following month of October. The plaintiff commenced the proceedings ia the case in March, laaa, almost 11 years ago, after the death of Mary Godwin. There is a wide descrepancy in the testimony as to the value of the lot of land in question.

It ranges from is.IX0 to $20,000. The weight of the testimony induces me to find the value of the property at N.yuO without any deduction on account of the life inter est of Peter Godwin. There is also considerable controversy as to the amount of money advanced by Peter Godwin to pay the mortgages against said land and other indebted ness of Mary Godwin. The actual amount paid by Godwin to Reap was Godwin obtained judgment for $4,502. He should have judgment for only Godwin paid at least f3.0OO on the Jordan and Feury indebtedness, exclusive of the amounts credited to him in his administration account.

The interest on this amount to the time of the sheriff's sale would be about $1,800. But allowing only four years' interest for the reason that two years from the time of Mrs. Godwin's death was a reasonable time in which the administrator should have proceeded to sell the land at orphans' court sale. There was also due Godwin $2,090.20 according to his final account as administrator. The evidence further shows that Godwin, at his wife's request, paid the Rev.

Moses Whitty H50. On her death bed she stated, among other things, that her husband, Peter Godwin, had paid $4,000 to Jor dan Feury, and that he had alto gether paid more than the property was worth. Recapitulating these "items I find as matters of fact Peter God win paid on account of his wife's in debtedness the fololwing amounts: To Jordan Feury, to Rev. Moses Whitty, $450; balances per ad ministrator's account, Anlyn mortgage and interest, total, $8,130.00. The court finally dismissed the equity proceedings brought, putting the costs upon the plaintiff.

The concluding paragraph reads as follows: Having found as a matter of fact that Peter Godwin paid full considera tion for his wife's land it is unneces sary to enter into an elaborate discus sion of any questions of iaw. Being himself the administrator of his wife's estate and a tenant, by courtesy of his wife's property as well as the assignee of the mortgage upon which the property was sold, it would have avoided all suspicion of improper advantage to him it he had proceeded in due time to sell the property at orphans' court sale for the amount of his wife's debts. If this course had been taken it may be considered reasonably certain that the land under the most favorable circumstances would not have sold for enough money to pay these debts. The method taken by him to obtain title to the property should always be avoided under circumstances similar to those existing in this case; but when there is no suspicion of fraud, and the transaction is honest and results in no injury to anybody else, I think it ought to be allowed to stand after the lapse of so many years." COAL LEASE DISPUTE. Judge Edwards' second opinion was in the case of Stroud Chamberlain vs.

W. D. Boyer, the Acme Coal company and others, in which he directs that the rule to show cause why judgment should not be stricken off be modified to a rule to open Judgment and let the defendants Into a denfense. He also directs counsel if they determine to proceed to law to agree on the form of issue and submit it to court for approval. In tha course of the opinion the court says: "The depositions taken on both sides declare the fact that the dispute between the parties Is of considerable moment It involves a large money investment on tha part of the defendants, and important contract and property rights on the part of the plaintiffs.

It involves also the construction of several clauses of the lease. In view of the facts of the case as shown in 'the depositions, we are of tne opinion that tUe judgment ought to be opened and THE SCEAXTON REPUBLICAN. THURSDAY MOUNTS, JASUAUT 21, 1897. the defendants should be allowed an opportunity to have the questions at issue decided by a jury or in a court of equity. We axe aware that fhere is an equity case now pending between the parties.

It may be that their differ ences can be determined more speedily and satisfactorily tn the equity case. As to this we express no opinion now, INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS Those of th.
