Each step in the proceedings was hard fought by Attorney John M. Garman, representing Mrs. Foster. Several sensations were developed, the most important of which was the relation of Attorney John McGahren of the finding of the last codicil to the will, which Mr. Foster had made a short time preceding his death and which disposes of 135,250.

Attorney McGahren was the prin cipal witness. He related the story of the discovery that the. will was missing and the circumstances that attended its making. Attorney F. W.

Wheaton. conducted most of the cross examination for the estate. Mr. Foster and Mr. McGahren had occupied the same law offices together for a long period of years.

According to his story, the will had been placed in a drawer in the office safe, together with the codicil and other papers. The key to this drawer had been given to Mr. McGahren by Attorney Foster with directions that he guard it carefully. Mr. McGahren deposited the key in another drawer in the safe and locked this drawer.

On the afternoon of the funeral, the heirs of lir. Foster having assembled in his office, Mr. McGahren went to get the will and found the key missing and the safe drawer locked. Suspecting something wrong the attorney summoned a locksmith and had the drawers drilled open, to learn that the will was missing. Continuing with his story, Attorney McGahren said that on Monday afternoon, while again going over the paper in the safe with bis clerk, Mr.

Alexander, the latter had come upon the codicil, which was believed to have been taken with the will. The attorney expressed the belief that the person who took the will from the drawer, inadvertently dropped the codicil. The codicil was drawn up by Attorney McGahren and signed by Mr. Foster in his sick room on Sept. 21, 1909, with Mr.

McGahren and John Lorimer, the sick man's nurse as witnesses. It provided for bequests of 1250 to the Wilkesbarre Lodge of Elks? $5,000 to the Wyoming Valley Historical and Geological Society, $10,000 to St. Stephen's Episcopal church of Wilkesbarre and $20,000 to the heirs of Mary C. Foster. John Lorimer, of Bethlehem, who attended Mr.

Foster during his last illness, testified to the events preceding the death of his patient and to the signing of the codicil. He stated that Mr. Foster was in sound mind and this statement was corroborated by Attorney McGahren, the other subscribing witness. The second sensation came when i Attorney McGahren staled that every mailt since the will was missed, a guard had been on duty in tne office I used by the late attorney. Following cross examination nf the witnesses by I Attorney the hearing was adjourned until Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock.

CULVERT MAY BE RHLT. The channel near tne rear" ot tne Drtiry store and "tinder the tracks in 4 the Lohigh ValleV freight yard at Water street, will probably be covered and turned into a culvert by; the Lehigh Valley Kailmad Co. One fvf tne company's civil engineers, Mr. King, of Wilkesbarre, examined the territory this in company with Street Commissioner John Hennighan, and will report favorably on alien action to Superintendent Moon, of the Wyoming division. The drainage is now open ttnd the railroad company experiences considerable trouble at times in keeping open a passage, so that the water does not block and damage the surrounding property by flooding it.

T.iere are no retaining walls on either slue and as the course Is through new ground the banks are washed away during storms. If the suggestion of Street Commissioner Hennighan is approved by higher railroad authority, as it was by the engineer this morning, the Lehigh Valley Co. will construct a culvert. The siiles will be wailed and the top covered, thus greatly improving the conditions. MASS FOR FATIIdl GREYE.

Father O'Mal ley's elevation to the honor of man signor, next Sunday evening In attempting to pass a street car along the state road near yesterday, a large touring automobile ran into a conveyance owned and driven by John Goham. The man at the wheel was not able to see the team and wagon because of the car.

The horses were knocked down and one ol them was severely scratched. Th A Scranton, Oct. 8. Charles "Moran. the former big star shortstop, who played such a strong game for Scranton during the past season, is mentioned very favorably for the man agement of the Scranton team for next year.

Moran is the logical man for 1 the place, owing to his experience, I keen judgment of players, coolness and Moran would make an ideal handler of ball players, because he knows how to handle himself and has proved on the field in the capacity of captain at various times in his career, that he could get more work out of the players than the majority of managers. Several other base ball men have been mentioned in the same manner as Moran, but none seems to measure up to Mo ran's caliber as the successor to Zeimer. President Coleman has as yet made no choice, but he might go far afield and spend much and obtain less results than he would with Moran handling the reins. Moran's experience has been gained in different classes of base ball company. BROWNTOWN VS.

OLD FORGE. Manager Lillls, of the Browntown base ball team, and Manager Coyne, of the Old Forge team, met last evening at Hotel Jermyn, Scranton, and arranged for a game of base ball between the two nines for a purse of $100. Each deposited $25 last evening, and the remaining $50 is to be placed in the hands of the umpire before the game begins. Sunday afternoon, at three o'clock, was determined upon as the time. It was decided to toss a coin to determine as to which manager should have the choice of grounds.

Manager Lillis won the toss and elected to play the game at Riverside Park this city. The following men will be allowed to play: Browntown Mnlroonpv Xfnllin W5ougher, McGinty, Martin Connors, Aiiichael Connors, Thomas Connors, Redington. Fowler, Williams, Walsh, Ferrick, Gibbons and Loftus. Old Forge Coyne, Appleknap, Far rell, Jones, Masters, Climan, Garvin, Moran, Williams. Lvnch.

Cassi.lv Brown and Long. ABOUT THE SPORTS. The Pittsburg team has won nine games out of ten from the Cubs on their own grounds this year. The smallest professional is Gordon nickman Detroit does not take kindlv to left banders. In view of this fact" Liefield will probably be used in two games by the Pirates.

Detroit can count On Willetts and Summers. Donovan, the strongest pitcher on either team when at his best, is uncertain. The proposed match between Jimmv Gardner and Willie Lewis has been called oft' by the Armory Athletic club. Paddy Sullivan, of New York, and Charley Sieger, of Hoboken, are to meet at the Standard A. of Provi dence, it.

on Oct. 16. Arthur McCabe, Mike Konnick and Simon Pauxtis returned home yester day from Cincinnati, where they were tried out by the Cincinnati National League club.

William Woodward, the popular conductor, who has charge of passenger train Nos. 122 and 127, has had a oiitiiiuous service one which is exceeded possibly by no other conductor, on the road. He began to run as early as 1867, or soon after the completion of the Lehigh Valley up this valley, and has kept it up without a break since. And what is still more remarkable, is that he has had the same run continuously. Also during this long service, Mr.

Woodward has had no serious accident happen to his train, not a trainman nor a passenger having been killed. Conductor Woodward always has a friendly greeting 'for passengers; he is particularly fond of children, and usually remembers all of the little folks who arc aoi listomed to travel on his.train. The insigna worn on his coat sleeve, is a distinction accorded to hut few conductors on line. Mr. Woodward was very young when he first began to handle the punch, and his "general appearance and ready activity show him to be but middle aged, with the prospect of many more years of service awaiting him.
