Judge H M. Edwards manifests a
praiseworthy desire to expe .ite the le
gal business that comes before him.
While ho displays gr-'at courtesy ami is
desirou of giving litigant a full and
fair hearing, he impress -a ou the at
torneys that it i not proper to use
lessly waste litue iu the trial of case,
as it retards public busiuess and is uu
just to litigants waiting for a bearing,
lie tnles questions very quickly and
the point at issue is no soouer stated
than the ruling corn? quick, clear and
decisive.

Time has dealt gently with ex-Judge
Handley since he retired from the of
lice of president judge Of this county to
privute life. As he sit with bit Attor
neysat the defendant' table in the
nmin court room yesterday there was
but slight perceptible obange from his
appearance in the day when ho gr.tcod
the bench with such dignity, and was
looked upon as the Tilden ot tho Lnott
awenna Democracy. There lit trifle
inoro silver iu his h nr, hut the stern
face is the same. The ex julge still
affects tho long broadcloth coat, the
black cravat of antique cut nnd the
GHudstonlan oollar that were distinc
tire marks of his attire when he was a
prominent figure in public life.
Eg Congressman Amerm.in, one of
Mr. Handle)" attorneys, baa returned
to the mo tern style of collars. For a
long periftd a hie;, expansive linen band
of immaculate whiteness, similar to
that which President Cleveland always
wean, was wont to encircle the not al
titudinous nock of the ex-congressmau.
When Mr. Amerm in and President
Cleveland cumo to to parting Of the
way on the tariff, the expansive collar
was relegated to oblivion and oae of
more modern sty la adopted. Mr.
Amerman has been very successful in
politic, having, like President Cleve
land, sustained bat one defeat.

There is no more interesting Individ
ual on this week's panel of jurors than
Putrick McUarry, of Fell township,
familiarly known as "Chief." Hefore

Chief McGarry was one of the coa
spicuous mmb?rs of the Otrbondale
delegations that went to the exciting
Democratic convention of old Luzerne.
There have been few Democratic con
ventions held in this county since its
creation that h ive not beu grsced by
his pro8nce. Though well advanced
in years he is a fine specimen of vigor
ous and virile manhood.

with the Exception of One Light.
Tho Lamp to Be Put Back Opinion
from City Solicitor A Good Meet
ing of the Lower Branch.
Common council met in regular ses
sion last evening and tho number had
k very busy mealing.
Tho Important feature was that
James J, drier nllempted to holdup
tint bill of the Scranton Electric Light
and Heat company, amounting to
$J,G18, for tho reason, as be stated, that
tho company was not living up to-its
contract, it having placed a light at a
different point than that oalled for in
the ordinance. The bill had bo.'n.with
all others that cams from the auditing
Committee, approvol, but in the sixth
order of business Mr. drier move I to
reconsider. This motion prevailed,
but tho motion to hold up the com
pany's pay roll pending a change ac cording
to the ordinance, wus not so
fortunate.
Mr. Robathan spoke against, the mo
tion and then moved ta lay it ou the
table. This motion prevailed. Mr
Robathan then moved that the com
pany's bill be Paid save the one for
light that Mr. liner objected to. Tais
prevailed and then on motion of Mr.
Duhigg, the chairman of tint light and
water committee, was instructed to
have the light, that had been moved
without authority of law, changed so
that its locality would coutorm to the
ordinance.
Ttlbl CITY NOT MABUE

that gentleman said tue city was not
liable. The bill was for 'lieaderi,"
These are miniature curb etones to

Torrey took the ground that no asnes
ment hud been mad for tho purpos ,
ind by tho terms of the contract the
city was only liable for tho assiss
ments made for tho improvements
specified iu the ordinance. The bill
was ordered tabled.
OPINION PROM solici tor TORREY,
The following opiuiou from the city
solicitor was read:
In November last I brought suit upon
claims for grading Lucerne street certi
fied to me lor collection against about
thirty property owunru. They tiled ulll
davit of d feuse, alleging as i he principal
ground of defense that under the provi
sions of the act of lSsj the councils had no
power to improve a street by grudiug only
and to make an assessment for the cest by
the foot front rule.
The sufficiency of this defonso w.tj
argued ill tho last nrgtiinont court before
Judges Archhald and Gunster. They
handed down a statement that they were
unable to agree as to the sufficiency of the
defense; and, therefore, refused to enter
judgment. L'poa this refusal, the city
has tho right to carry the case into the
supreme cvurt for determination there.
The question involves not only the legality
of the assessment on Luaerae street, but
is, I am Informed, on some other streets
where asaxistUMUts have not yet been col
lected, and which were graded by the foot
front, rule.
1 think it would he desirabio to obtsin a
ruling of the supreme court, if possible,
upon the question as early as possible, iu
order that the assessments m J he col
lected, if legal; and it' not, that; step)
may be taken to secure a reassessment.
Awaiting yonr instructions l am
Very respectfully yours,
James H. TOOJUtT, City Socicitor.

Whon court adjourned yesterday
afternoon the defense was being heard
in tho case of Mrs. Mary Rosonagle
against ex-Judge John Handler It is
probable that today will bt continued
in listening to the evidence of the other
witnesses for the defense. At 11 o'clock
yesterday court adjourned for the day
in tho main court room and the trial of
the Rosonagte case wa transferred
from No. to the main room.
After court ooenod yesterday morn
ing Thomas Jilfklni was again called
to the stand. He aid that in tctober,
18x8, ho first became a stockholder of
tuo Wyoming Manufacturing com
pany. He considered it a good Invest
ment and In September, 1SHJ, pur
chased (3,000 additional stuck on the
two for one plan. From the informa
tion In his possession in D cember.lSs:),
he considered tho company sound li
Dancially and safo investment.
MOTT'S THIRTY rIIAUEs OF STOCK.
S B. Mott testified that be owned
thirty 6hare of stock in the company.
He purchased it in 1881' for $1,500. It
was represented to him that the com
pany had a ninety nine year lease ou
the coal properly iu West Virginia.
(iorge Du B, Dtmmiok, the vic
president of the company, was the next
witness called bv the plaintiff On orosH
examination. The comnauy was in
good condition in las; hut In 1880 its
interest iu the West Virginia coal
property had to be fold, lie acted a
receiver of the company after it be
came insolvent. The amount of
stock he had in it was $10 000
Besides the West Virginia prop
erty he understood tho Wyom
ing Manufacturing company owned
several aori of coal land between this
city and Olypbnut In 1888 the com
pant was making money but instead of
paying dividends ihe earnings were
used to improve tlin property. In 1881
the company lost considerable money
through tho failure of the Scranton
Iron Company, to which they si Id coal,
and by tho closing of the batiks, in
'.vhich the company' money was d
iiositod The property was sold twice in
18S0 at public sal". Tuo first time it
brought between : 000 and $0,000, the
second time about ' 000. The property
sold was very valn.ilile.aud the company
had made Improvements on it that coht
much morn than what it was sold for.
MRS, ROSHNAOI.E ON THE STAND.
?.Ir, Mary Roscnagle was re-called to
the stand and said she would not nave
purchased the stock had she known
that the property of the Wyoming
Manufacturing compiny was located
in West Virginia and had not Judge
Hundley, In whom she had the utmost
confidence, recommended that she take
the stock and guaranteed to pay the
dividends ou it. That closed the testi
mony for the plaintiff and Attorney
GUorgeS, Horn opened for tho defense,
saying that they would show that no
misrepresentation was male to Mr.
Rosenngle to take the stoe'e. She was
told that the property ot the Wyoming
Manufacturing company whs located in
Weet Virginia and that if she took ntiy
stock slio would have to take her
chance in the investment tho same a

placed in a peculiar position. In order
to know what they were doing they
passed tin ordituuee rectifying tho
matter.
Among other matters that would ag
gravate the auditors was that of in
surance on fire departnisnt house.
The members thought it was a waste

perhaps hind to estimate, but we now
know that such cQoru are Cuttle against
inveterate habit, a habit which has become
a disease. There was a time when it
wc uld have been casv to quit, but having
neglected to do so the habit continued un -til
by tho const nut or Iri intent use of the
poison there wns ft reed a change in the
nervous system which made it not i nly
possible to drink, but necessary. Then
yon could drink n good deal and not aeem
to get drunk, but you nlso found It ncces
sary, to keep you feeling good and you
"craved liquor" became you had become
diseased, Now that swearing off does no
good and the pledge can't bo kept, go and
make your resolution good lor all tune by

Two more children were arrested by
the poliee yesterday afternoon for beg
ging on the treets of theoltV, Thev
were taken to the statioii liosse, Whore
they were oared for. They gave their
name as Anuie Kashimie and Loraine
oft. Both claimed a residence on
I nun )tt street.
Th y were clad in garments unfit for
old rug and their appearance bespoke
the typical street gamin Their fac-s
and hands were begrimed with dirt and
both looked as if they never knew of
the cleansing properties of soap and
water.
About 5 o'clock Mrs. Duggan ques
tioned the children. Annie Kashimie
said she lived with her father. Sue
lal I that a woman who lived with
them sent her out to beg everyday.
The Zofa child was sent out by her pi
rents. ROT ACQUAINTED WITH WATER.
Mr, Dngg in asked tho children if
they would liked to bj washed and
have nice drei-ses, The children did
not at flrt understand, but when they
noticed the condition of the Dnmbroski
girl who was playing around the corri
dors, they eagerly asasuted.
They will be held for a hearing un
til Mayor Connell returns from New
' York.
i While the children sat in the elation
i house answering Mrs. Dttggan'e quee
i tion, two little girls about 15 years of
age cam there. lliftv were looking
f is Mrs. Dnggen They had Been the
officer! arrest the children and know
ing that clothes that would fit might
be acceptable, they came to s -e if Mrs.
Duggau wanted dresses for tho unfor
tunateone. They guv their names
to n Triuune reporter as Plauche
Brookl and Cora VVilou, and their res
idence as Forest court.
They were not members of any
Charitable society but juit thought
they might be able to heip along this
great work by rescuing the children
from the slums by contributing clothes
for which they hal no further use.
This is Indeed sweet charity when it
comes from such a sourc.
