NOT TO CALL ROCKEFELLER. Building and Loan Association Case is Decided By Superior Bench. Great Care Is Being Exercised in the Selection of the Jurors. This decision of the Superior Court sustains the contentions of the borrowers.AN APPEAL IS TO BE TfSEN. Special to The Sjvf (. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ' f.—A decision was handed down yesterday by the Superior Court affirming the JefTeraon County Court In the ease of T. .M. Kurtz, S. Keltonlk and G. L. Glenn, assignees of the Punxsutawney Mutual HuildhiK and Loan Asaoelation. against Irn ,7. Campbell and S. K Livingood. This Is what is known as "the borrowers' ease," which was tried before Judge Heed in January of last year, and was argued on appeal in the Superior «'<>urt last May. The question at issue was us to the effect of an order made by borrowers at the time of executing their borul and mortgage directing: that all payments should be applied directly to their loans. The assignees held that In event of Insolvency this order could not be interpreted so as to relieve borrowers from standing their proportionate share of the losses. they being mutual shareholders with the non-borrowers. About onefifth of the loans were settled In accordance with the assignees method, when a decision of the Supreme Court was discovered that held otherwise. The rest of the borrowers accordingly resisted payment without getting full credit for their payments and the question has been in litigation for the last two years.

BUFFALO VISITED BY HEAVY GALE FATAL SHOT FOLLOWS HER GOODBYE KISS That Punxsutawney unci the suri rounding territory numbers amon« [its female population the requisite number of girls who are desirous of securing employment in tin* proposed shirt factory, was in a measure demonstrated this morning when J. 15. Kberhart opened his mail ami found among the pile of letters a number of communications replying to the advertisement in The Spirit yesterday (afternoon. Such quick response, Mr. Eberhart feels, is indicative of success in the securing of a sufficient number of applications to warrant informing the projectors of the new industry that there will be litle trouble in filling the positions which will be created upon the locating here of the factory. The applications which have already been received have been placed |>n file in the order received and the Positions will be filled from the list kl that same order. All appliea- fons received hereafter will be treat- Ed in the -same manner and in the ■•vent of a greater* number applying Rhan are needed to begin operations, It he file will be kept up and the subsequent positions or vacancies filled kherefrom. ■ While the number of applications ■already received has been a com[plete surprise to those having the [matter in charge, there is no reason for any girl or woman desiring a prt<lon,~ttPT£(ntfiitrttltfy are too tate for not nearly enough have applied to fill all the positions. But it is safe to say that not many days will have elapsed before the applications will exceed the number required. Some young ladles have raised the question of the advisability of working* in factories. In this connection it can be stated that there is hardly nny field of employment open to younfp women more congenial or more lucrative. No special training is required, excepting that which is secured during the first few (lays of employment. The work 1s not laborious, as the machines are all operlated by power, the operators have simply to guide the material as it under the stitcher. The buildings will be sanitary, well ventilated and well lighted and healthful in every respect. The surroundings will be made as congenial as is possible in any building or institution of the kind. And the wages will be figured solely upon the earning capacity of the operator. For cleanly, congenial and lucrative employment, it is not likely that Punxsutawney will again have another opportunity to secure such an industry. If you want employment in such a plant, you should send your application in early to J. B. Eberhart. The advertisement elsewhere in The Spirit explains everything. SLEET IS FALLING THERE. SUPERIOR COURT HAS WESTERN DECISIONS "The great building was constructed without costing the people of Pennsylvania one cent in taxes. Every cent was paid out of taxes levied on the Corporations, whose bulk of business is done out of tin- state. There is no campaign material in Pcnnsylvana's new capitol." "A1 Hetherington, who was with us, is an expert in fixtures and furnishings. He said the furnishings and chandeliers were the finest he ever saw, and that their duplicates did nof exist in the world. "In its design Architect Joe Huston has bullded himself a monument as great as the crowning glory In the lift* of Christopher Wren, St. Paul's London. No man can see that wonderful capitol and not feel proud that he Is a PennsyIvanlan. Mr. Fow, who represents a textilt district, gave r grunt of disgust. Hi walked over to Berry and said: "If you really want the truth about that carpet, I will tell you it Is the finest made in the world. Moreover, it is a Pennsylvania product from start to finish, and was woven in Philadelphia. Moreover, if you are still interested, I will tell you the entire bill for carpets for the whole epaltol is less than the cost of w single rug In the Hotel Majestic in Philadelphia." Discussing the Incident afterwards, Mr. Fow said: "I am a democrat, but I have no sympathy with the attempt to belittle the greatest architectural achievement of the state for the sake of a little political capital. Any man who would see that building and find fault would wear a celluloid collar on Sunday or worse. HARUISBUliO, Oct. 9.—During the inspection of the capitol after the pa- rade on Thursday a party went to the Governor's room. In It were Governor Pennypaeker, Chief Justice Mitchell, of the supreme court, Harbor Master Pollock, Speaker Walton and A1 Hetherington, of Philadelphia. Thousands of admiring people were pouring through the building, as the governors party entered one of the executive offices they found a figure down on his hands and knees looking nt the carpet. It was State Treasurer Berry. Young Wife Bids Husband Farewell and Then Kills Herself. Several Cases Are Decided Relating to This and Nearby Counties. !

A Jury cmpannoied by Coroner Harburger, after listening to the testimony of half a dozen witnesses this morning, returned a verdict that A I. Adams, the expolicy king, had come to his death by self-inflicted wounds. The testimony tended to show that the deceased deliberately planned his own end and that it was his own hand that fired the fatal shot. The verdict effectually sets at rest the rumors of foul play which had been freely circulated about Gotham since, the discovery of the dead man's body. By Publishers' Press. CONCORb. N. H..
