OLD DOCUMENTS. A BODY EXECUTION DATED MARCH 18TH, 1745 AND AN BXE- CUTION DATED MAY 6TH, 1774. Attorney William E. Lochner of this city is in possession of two very ancient legal documents which are nevertheless in a good state of preservation and plainly legible. One is a body execution dated March 18th, 1745, and signed by William Ham- lin, Clerk of the Court of Prince George County, which is now a part of the state _ of Virginia. It is issued in the name of King George, the Second. The other is an execution issued in ; bears date of May 6, 1774, and is issued 'from the same place, Prince George County. 'The old documents were the proprty of a Union soldier and were ob- tained during the destruction of the ; court house during the war. Questions and Answers. By L. W.

CASE SETTLED. - Law Suit Averted by the Pay- ment of $450. THE HEIRS OF THOMAS MGOWN WERE ABOUT TO HAVE A SUIT OVER HIS INSURANCE MONEY. ! Attorney W. E. Lochner, on behalf of ~ Mrs. Elizabeth Cunningham of this city ' gerved a notice of complaint onthe C. M. B. A. and Mrs. Agnes Daily and Als. Mary Shannon her sister for the setting aside of a redesignation of beneficiaries on the policy of $2.000 issued by the C. M. B. A,. to Thomas McGown of this city. ° It appeared that McGown was a mem- ber of the C. M,. B. A. in good standing at the time of his death and therefore 'his beneficaries were entitled to $2,000 , Such beneficiares were designated as follows: His wife was to have $300. | His daughter Mrs. Elizabeth Cunning- j ham of this city $700 and also $100 for . funeral expenses. Mrs. Shannon, an- ; other daughter $400 and Mrs. Daily also a daughter $200. Irene and William ' Kilpatrick, grandchildnen $150 each. McGown lived with Mrs. Cunningham on Ontario Street some 13 years previ- ous to his death and for the last six years she had maintained him and also paid his assessments on the insurance. Two weeks before his death he went to his daughter Mrs. Daily of Buffalo, and by means which the plaintiff, Mrs. | Cunningham alleges were not of his , own free will while in the possession of his faculties he was persuaded to have . his beneficiaries changed so as to read that Mrs. Daily was to have $1,400, Mrs. I 1 I + aud $100 for funeral expenses. He died at the residence of Mrs. Daily in Buffalo and was brought here and buried. His wife had died April 15th, and therefore her share in the first de- signation was of no account, but Mrs. Tunningham at onee retained Lawyer Lockner and he brought the suit as , above stated wth the result that by mu- ' tual agreement and on the payment of $450 to Mrs. Cunninghant and relieving her of the obligation to pay the funeral { expenses, the case was dropped. Mrs. Shannon is a resident of South Dakota and was represented by W. H. | and F. A. Ransom of this city. The Discovery Saved His :Life. Mr. G.

MARY FLANNERY AND HER \I DONE THINK,\ AND OTHER FLIPPANT REMARKS WAS THE WHOLE THING FOR A FEW MIXN- UTES-OHER EVIDENCE OF RACY NATURE. From the Union-Sun of Oct. 25. 'The Powley case was on again yester- day afternoon and this morning and de- veloped some very racy testimony. In fact there was but little of the tesii- mony that did not border on the sensa- tional. There were three witnesses called to testify to the good character of Powley, but they were non-committal when pin- ed down to a direct statement as to the good qualities or record of the defend- ant and appeared to hurt rather than i help his cause. Miss Sarah Flannery gave her age as 19 and \ say she was flip I don't think\ ; to use her own style of language. She testified to the fact that an insurance man by the name of Finy had called on Mrs. Powley in her room and that while he was upstairs she and some of '! the rest of the women put up a job to flour him. ,. She said that Mrs. Powley exclaimed: \That it would take her three bours to get the flour off of him,\ and that she replied: \W ell then you will have him three hours longer.\ & Only joshing was an expression that witness had made to Mrs. Powley in connection with some of the ovidence in the case. ! , Witness testified that Police Justice . Spencer B. Parker had called on Mrs. Powley and she had seen Mrs Powley have her arm on his shoulder for some time. Asked by District Attorney Hop kins if the party were not having a big time on the night in question, witness replied: \I guess not sport, only flour- ing Finy, that was great sport.\ | Asked where Finy and Mrs. Powley i were while in the house, she xeplied that they sat in the kitchen at a table. Asked if there was a bed in the room witness replied no, but there was in the next room. f District Attorney Hopkins riled the witness by asking her if she was not the attraction which induced Finy to visit the neighobrhood and she indig- nantly denied the soft impeachment. Police Justice Parker being called to the stand testified as follows: Powley was arrested and brought before me on complaint of his wife as a disorderly person and for non-support of herself and two boys. I understood that he had no money and could not give bonds for her support so after consultation the agreement was drawn up whereby he was to leave Niagara Falls and con- tribute $10 a month to the maintenance of his wife and children. While they were in the court room I noticed a druggist who wished to have Powley arrested on the charge of ob- taining goods under false pretences and I asked his wife if she thought he had money enough to pay the bill which was a small one and thus keep him fro mbeing arrested on that charge She replied that she did not think so, and I then gave or at least loaned her two dollars so as to satisfy the druggist debt which she did. Parker stated that the evidence of the witnesses who said that they saw Ars. Powley bave her arm on his shoulder was a deliberate falsehood as I such a thing had never happened. A ripple of mirth ran over the court room when District Attorney Hopkins said: \You were elected Justice of the Peace i last spring were you not?\ Yes by 875 1 \replied the witness who 1 f 1 H i i majority seemed to be proud of the figures.\ Witness denied that he had ever told ' Powley that he would railroad him out of town. He also stated that Mrs. Pow- ley had called on him at his home, his ' office and at court and that he had ' called at her house. He had never heard anything against her character. his was all that transpired up to the time of adjournment which was taken a 1:40 unitl 2:15 p. m. Rheumatism Cured.

A FROST AT THE HODGE OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT-IHE PEO- PLE ON THE STAGE ALMOST OUT-NUMBERED | THE AUDI- ENCE, BUT THE LATTER HELD THEIR GROUND. From the Union sun of Oct. 29, The Republicans held a meeting at the Opera, Houge last night. A severe frost prevailed. The evening's celebration was opened by a monstrous street parade consisting of the Spalding Hose Drum Corps, a delegation consisting of a corporal's guard from the Grant Club and their gun squad. This delegation wandered up Market Street and down Main to Erie Depot and countermarched back to their hall. After the inhabitants had gazed upon this \ large and elegant\ pageant for a period of three minutes a small part of the crowd adjourned*to the Opera House. The imceting was commenced with great pomp by the Or\ Phic Quartette. Chairman of the County Committee Harry I. Benedict, then threw himself at the empty seats and read a long list of vice-presidents and secretaries, who were conspicuous by their absence and finished by naming as chairman of the evening, Judge A. K. Potter. Judge Potter made a short, but enter- taining address of welcome and then introduced the speaker of the eventful evening, Hon. Charles Daniels of Buf- falo. Judge Daniels received a very cold reception from the small audience. In the language of the day the Repub- licans of Lockport were \minus.\ The stage was unoccupied by exactly ten evening, chairman of the evening, Chairman. of the County Committee and two press representatives. Judge Daniels spoke for an hour and a half. 'The meeting was almost en- tirely devoid of enthusiasm. OBITUARY.

'The speaker had gray hair and he wore a thread bare suit of clothes. He had a short time before been. released from a cell in Police Headquarters. R About 5 o'clock ysterday afternoon a telephone message was sent to Police ~Headquarters from Echota, saying there was a man in that part of the city who was going about in an intoxicated condition, annoying the residents. Chief Dinan was asked to send an officer to Echota. to take care of the man. The message also said that the man exhibit- ed a police badge and said he was an officer. j Officer Hogan was sent to the scene. On his arrival in Echota he found the man nar Capt. Butler's store, surround- ed by a crowd of boys. He stepped up to him and asked him to take a walk. The stranger objected, showing a po- . lice badge to Hogan. His objections were useless and he had to go with the officer. He was taken to Police Head- quarters, locked up all night and let out this moring, after he made an explana- tion of his doings of yesterday. He said he had been drinking and .at the time he was arrested he was trying to teach the boys arithmetic. He proved that he was a Lockport official who had been sent here to serve subpoenas on wit- nsses in a suit in Lockport.
