' THERE IS ONE GAMBLING HOUSE It Is Located in llcntoit Township and Clifford Phillips Is Accused of Being tho Proprietor Judge Archhnld Charged the tirund Jury. The January grand Jury assembled yesterday and was charged In the main court room by Judge Archbald. The court did not deviate to a special form of Instruction, but simply defined the general law for the guidance of the jury In disposing of the matters that will rorac up during the week. Itev. David J. AS'llllums, pastor . of the Iilakely liaptist church, was appointed foreman, nnd after Judge Archbald finished his charge the jury was given Yo Constable's Search for Speakeasies. over to District Attorney John It. Jones. An adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock in the afternoon and then tho Jury began passing upon the Indictments. After the grand Jury had retired the returns of the constables were heard. A most singular thing is that not one return was made In regard to tippling houses or other violations of the excise law. ' No Liquor Illegally Sold. Each guardian of the peace waltzed up to the bar of Justice nnd without a blush swore to the court that the law was not being violated. E. L.

Kichard Morris, of ficer of the peace of the First ward of Taylor borough, reported that on the date of Dec. 17, 1S94. an Illegitimate son was born to Miss Maggie Williamson, a young woman of his Jurisdiction.

Judge Archbald yesterday discharged the rule for a new trial in the case of the Mutual Life Insurance company, of New York, against O. S. Johnson and Catherine Wlnton. No opinion was handed down, court being convinced that the arguments for a new trial did not warrant an opin ion. Court yesterday made an order direct ing the verdict to stand in tho case of Stephen Jones against tho city of Scran ton. The city encroached upon the prop erty of Jones, a lot on Washington ave nue, and he brought an action In eject ment. Tho Jury found in favor of Jories, hut court reserved Its decision on one of the points presented by the defendant. Arbitrators W. W. Baylor, C. W. Daw son and George II.

Here after all Injunction cases and equity cases will be argued during grand Jury week, a list of them being prepared similar to the argument list. Only In particularly urgent cases will this rule be deviated from. At present Injunction enses are usually heard In chambers at a tlnw agreed upon by tho parties or designated by one of the Judges.

Judge Gunater handed down an opin ion' yestetHlsty covering the exceptions filed agail'iist h report of viewers In section A of 'the Fifth Sewer district. Fourteen exceptions were 'taken, buit the count did not consider any but itwo worth dwelling on. The main objection which the court answered was to the fTeot that 'the assessment was Illegal because a separ ate assessment was imt ma.de out for the muln 'bruniih of the sewer and one for the lateral branch. Judge Guturtor ruled (halt tlhe tow does not recognize such dint I notions; that the sewer may be called a maiin sewer or all lateiral sewers. Public (improvements, the opln fcm declared. Invurthibly cause friatlon and complaint, and tlhe tatter are some of Wie necessary penalties of living Jn a city. The exceptions were overruled and tho report of the viewers was confirmed finally. LOST IjflllK FOG. John Kndda. n Had llunguriun, liuns Ah ay with a Pair of Handcuffs. Last evening about midnight a con stable from Olyphant alighted from the Delaware and Hudson station with a Hungarian named John Hudda, who was under arrest upon charge of being a general all-around bad man. Hudda while in Montrose recently Imbibed In toxicants and endeavored to decorate the town with the Vermillion tints of a mid-summer sunset. After having been locked up he broke Jail and lied to his home In Forest City. The pastoral detective, who had been sent to secure the unruly Hun, had been successful and was accompanied by the prisoner, whose wrists were con fined by bracelets the size of small mule collars, as he stepped from tho Delaware and Hudson train.- Upon leaving the station the glare of tho electric lamps seemed to have a be wildering effect upon the ofllcer and he, for a time, forgot the prisoner while gazing upon the wonders of the Elec tric City by arc-light. When near the Railroad Young Men's Christian association rooms Hudda broke away from the officer and disappeared In the fog. The.consta.ble sounded a war whoop and started In pursuit, but was unable .to again sight the prisoner, who had vanished in the crowd. At an early hour this morning the ofllcer was still looking for thie slippery son of Hungary. Upon being imter vlewed the sleuth refused to disclose his Identity, but stated that .he was the constable of the First ward of Oly phant. At last accounts the First ward official lingered about Lackawanna avenue In the vicinity of the Scranton House watting for the mists to clear away sufficiently to reveal the where abouts of this lost captive.
