One of the strongest social clubs In
the city is the Crystal Literary and
Dramatic club, which was organized on
Feb. 9, 1888, with twenty charter mem
bers, John Kelly being elected presi
dent; James Gannon, secretary, und
John Burns, treasurer. At tho outset
it was determined to limit the mem
bership to twenty-five, which rule It
still observes, but four years ago, for
the accommodation of those who could
not become active members. It amend
ed its constitution so as to be able
to enroll some as honorary members,
among whom at present are M. J.
Flynn, Captain J. H. Duggan, Hugh
Franey and P. J. O'Connor. During
the first five years the club was purely
social and literary, holding one or two
socials during winter, but conducted a
number of debates. On February 6,
1891, they began their dramatic career
by producing Charles Townsend's
"Broken Fetters" to a large number
in Company H. armory, and which they ,
afterward reproduced for out-of-town
societies by request, and have since
produced one each year, its last pro
duction being "The Celebrated Case,"
which was given In St. Mary's hall, on
Easter Monday, for the benefit of the

cleaned and renovated. The ofllcers

EQUITY COURT ARGUMENTS
Cases That Came Up for Considera
tion ia That Branch of Courts.
MASTEKS ASKS FOR THE LAND
Thinks That lie Is Entitled to It-Pro-eeedlngs
of Eleetrio Land Improve
ment (Company Against tho West
Rldgo Coal Company.
Pleadings In the first case of the term
of equity court In this county were
heard yesterday morning In the main
court room before Judge Edwards. It
was the action brought by James Mas
ters, of Dunmore, petitioning court to
compel Mrs. Julia La Franco, mother
of his first wife, to sign and deliver
a deed which she promised him she
would do but now refuses.
Masters and his first wife lived with
her mother, Mrs. La France, In 1SS5.
The latter agreed to give him a part of
the lot If he would erect a house on It.
She would not convey a fee simple right
to him of the land until he built a house
for fear he might sell It. He built a
house and H was finished in July, 1886.
When he moved In he asxed his mother-In-Iuw
for the deed, and she put him off
with a promise.
On Dec. 14, 1888, Mrs. Masters died,
and a few days ibefore that her mother
agreed to then execute the deed. Mas
ters lived in the house until March, 1892,
when It was destroyed by fire. Ho al
leges to have expended $1,400 on the
building and grading the lot and con
structing a retaining wall. Out of the
Bum derived from Insurance Masters
got only $400; the remaining $300 Is in
possession of M. E. McDonald, attorney
for Mrs. La France. She secured this
amount on the Btrength of a claim
against Masters of $200 for which she
became security.
He Took a Second Wife.
Masters re-married and the relations
between himself and Mrs. La France
became more strained than ever. She
built another house on the site where
his was burned down and she now rents
It. The testimony of several witnesses
was read and tho defendant made a
general denial of all the statements
made by the plaintiff. Attorneys S. B.
Price and H. C. Reynolds appeared for
Masters, and Attorney M. E. McDonald
for Mrs. La France. Court took all the
papers and a decision was reserved.
The other case heard was the Electric
City Land Improvement company
against the West Ridge Coal company.
Attorneys S. B. Price and George W.
Beale appeared for the plaintiff, and
Attorneys J. Alton Davis and Thomas
F. Wells tor the defendant. Tbe land
company bought a number of acres of
real estate In the North End for the
purpose of dividing It up into town lots.
The coal company owns land adjoining
the tract and opened mineways. The
plaintiffs claims that the exhalations
from these openings are noxious and
prevent the sale of the lots, because no
person wants to build a residence near
where he will get the full benefit of
large volumes of subterranean vapors.
Heaps of documentary evidence were
placed before the court yesterday. In
this case also a decision has been re
served. Mooslc Crossing Trouble.
A case that will come up either today
or tomorrow is that of the Scranton
and Pittston Traction company against

Railroad company.
