with Negligent Acts.
CITY BANK FAILURE RECALLED
Plaintiff Claims tho Dunk Is Still In
debted to lllm in tho Snni of $1,200
und Ho Docs Not Propose to Ho
Ilarrcd by Statute.
The failure of the Scranton City
bank on May 25, lssu, which created
such a tremendous sensation In busi
ness circles at the time. Is recalled by
an action In trespass brought yester
day against Dr. II. H. Throop, O. A.
Jessup, Charles Tropp, Edward Mcrrl
llcld, Morris Goldsmith, Victor Koch
niul Henry Armbruat, directors of tho
defunct bank. Tho plaintiff Is Attor
ney A. P. Dean, who sues to recover
damages for Injuries and losses he sus
tained by reason of what he alleges to
be negligent actions upon tholr part In
tho management of tho bank.
When the failure occurred the liabili
ties of the bank were about fciOO.OOO.
J. H. Gunster was appointed assignee
and under his management of the prop
erty and assets of the Institution 90 per
cent, of Its obligations have been paid.
He has now on hand, It Is said, about
$12,000 to meet tho outstanding debt of
nbout $110,000. Eventually It Is probable
that the bank will pity dollar for dollar,
but It Is nut likely that tho remaining
10 per cent, will be paid to the deposi
tors for some time.
Statute of I. imitation.
On Saturday It will be six years since
the bank failed iml after that date the
statute of limitations will bar recovery
from the directors If suit Is not bpgun

Last Saturday he served written no
tice on the directors that he would be

OPENING LAUREL HILL.
Gilmore's IlanJ to I'lay Grand Music Sat
urday and Sunday.
Gilmore's famous band will come over
from New York next Saturday to play
four concerts for the opening of Laurel
Hill park, two on Saturday and two on
Sunday, the Sunday concert to be of
sacred music throughout. Some spe
cially appropriate opening air, or dedi
cation odo may be played first, but the
first programme number Saturday
afternoon will be the Iilenzl overture.
Victor Herbert, the new conductor,
who has already won such renown nt
the head of this band, and who, accord
ing to all accounts, makes the band
play better than ever, although of Irish
birth Is purely German by education,
having passed some eighteen years In
the land of music, at almost constant
study and playing. He was for mnny
years associate conductor with Anton
SeidI, the groat Wagner light of
America.
So much Wagnerian element Is mani
fest In Herbert's writings that
he Is quite generally known In
New York as the "Irish Wag
ner." This characteristic is quite no
ticeable In his latest opera, "Prince
Ananias," which the "Bostonlans" are
now playing with such success, and
some of the most striking gems of this
work will he played on Saturday, under
hia own baton.
Another piece of Mr. Herbert's suc
cessful writing will be sung at the Sun
day night ooncent by Miss Ida Klein. It
Is the Easter song, "Kiss of Spring,"
which was, ' upon special request of
James Gordon Bennett, composed by
Mr. Herbert and published for the first
time In the last Easter edition of the
New York Herald. On both days the
concerts will close with Mr. Herbert's
own "American Fantasle," which has
been played many tlmeB by both the
Thomas and Seldl orchestras. It Is a
glorious arrangement In. a fantastic way
of national and typical American airs.
ANNUAL FREE EXCURSION.
It Will Ho Conducted as I'sual by St.
Luke's Congregation.
A meeting; of the vestry of St. Luke's
church was held last night, when It
was decided to hold the annual free
excursion for the poor of the city. The
time will be arranged nit an early date.
The meeting discussed tho question
of providing a summer home for tho
destitute sick. For some years the con
gregation of St. Luke's church have
maintained a homo at Dalton during
the summer months, but ithlH year they
were unable to make arrangements for
the renting1 of the house. A plot of
land has been donated In tho same
vicinity, upon which It was Intended
to erect a permanent home, but the
vestrymen are anxious to secure suit
able premises for the coming summer.
After some discussion a committee was
appointed to report upon a sultabk
house and place for a temporary home,
and also to further report as to ac
quiring a permanent homo.
The meeting was unanimous In ex
pressing tholr determination that this
useful and philanthropic feature of
church should not be broken (luring
this year, as many sick persons were
already anxiously anticipating the
change to assist them In recruiting
their health. The commltteo appointed
will report as soon ns possible,

liquor storo of Casey Bros., on Lacka
wanna avenue. John Heffron, who con
ducts a hotel on upper Lackawanna
avenue, was his brother.

morning. A high mass of requiem will

A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.
Munugcr Davis Will Now Tsks a Well
Darned Vacation.
Davls'theater was closed last evening
after ' a very successful season, and
during the summer months this popular
house will be thoroughly renovated and
re-arranged. The auditorium will be
painted and the seating accommoda
tion Improved. The dressing rooms,
which at present are on the side", and
above the stage, will be dispensed with
and new rooms arranged underneath
the stage, thus Increasing; the stage
room to a considerable extent and af
fording room for more extensive scen
ery and other theatrical properties.
Manager Davis and his wife have not
enjoyed an extended vacation for a
period of several years, us the claims of
the' house would not permit of their
absence. This year, however, Mr. Da
vis lias made arrangements whereby
Mrs, Davis and himself are at liberty
to pay a visit to Mrs. Davis' relations
In Minnesota. Last evening the house
was crowded and was a fitting close to
an unusually successful seuson.
THAT CLAIM OF LUZERNE'S.
It Is Not Disturbing the County Com
missioners Any,
Lackawanna's county commissioners
were not disturbed yesterduy by the
news that 'the ollltials of Luzerne coun
ty had for tho moment laid aside their
contemplated raid on our treasury to
the extent of $110,000 and were now di
recting their attention to filching from
Lackawanna, a strip of land one mile
wide along Its southern boundary line.
The commissioners of this county say
that the decision of Attorney General
McCormuck Is not llnul and that they
do not Intend to part with any of our
territory. The Issue, If raised, will be
contented through every available legal
tribunal.
WEST RIDGE SHAFT.
Argument for and Against Allowing It to
Kcmnin Heard by Judge P.dwnrJs.
Aflercourtopened yesterday morning
consideration of the Injunction proceed
ings of the Electric City I.and Improve
ment company agulnst the West Kldge
Coal company wus resumed before
Judge Edwards In equity court and
occupied the attention of the court
until the adjournment hour In the
afternoon.
The greater part of the day was con
sumed with the testimony given on the
part of tho complainant and defend
ant. Those sworn, for tho former were
George Spencer, II. It. Hurlbutt,
Charles Rockwell, J. K. Smith, C. S.
von Storch, AVillium Love and William
Chuppelle, who testified that the shaft
of the West Ridge Coal comiuiny on tho
plot of the Electric City Lund Im
provement company Is a nuisance by
reason of the noise mudo by the ex
hausting of steam from the hoisting
engines; dust from the shaft, nnd the
noise made In signalling from the
bottom to the top of the shaft.
The coal Is not hoisted to the surface
at this shaft but from the lower to the
top vein along which It la run to the
foot of a slope, 400 feet distant, by
means of which the coal Is raised to the
breaker, where It Is prepared for mar
ket. '
Testimony for tho Defense.
Civil Engineer J. H. Rlttenhouse, B.
F. Filmore, superintendent of the West
Ridge Coul company's works; C. H.
von Storeh. Thomas H. Jones, mine
foreman; Clinton Sllkman and William
H. Sturrs were called for the defense,
all of whom testified that the mining
operations were conducted at the shaft
In question In a proper and careful
manner.
Attorney J. Alton Davis made the
closing argument for the defense. He
held that his clients had the right to
sink the shaft at the point In dispute
and that the mine operations were be
ing conducted there exactly In accord
ance with the mine laws of Pennsylva
nia. It was Impossible that- public
works of this kind could be conducted
without some slight annoyance, for
steam must be exhausted and noise
necessarily made by one cog fitting Into
another. Street railways create a noise
that Is nn annoyance to those who live
along the line traversed by these roads,
but the courts says that It must be
tolerated, for the public good demands
the convenience of street railways.
Argument for Plaintiff.
For the complainant company the
argument was made by Attorney S". B.
Price, who said that the West Ridge
Coal company had no right to put
down the shaft, for such action had
been specifically prohibited by the
deeds under which It claims title.
OFF FOR READING.
Knights Tcmplur Will Make Tholr Annual
Pilgrimage on Monday.
Changes have been made In the plana
of the pilgrimage of the Knights Temp
lar from this olty to Reudlng to attend
the annual concluve Uiero which begins
next week. It Is anticipated thalt be
tween 00 and 76 from Scranton, Car
bondale and Great Bend will go.
First It had been Intended that all
would depart on u special train at 8
a. m., Monday via Central Railroad of
New Jersey. This plan lvas been
changed and Instead they will go on
the 1.23 p. m. train the same day. Two
special cars will be attached to the
reguluir trailn for rthu exclusive use of
tho Knights Templar. The train will
arrive In Reading at 6.45. By this luter
arrangement Scranton members will
have a chance to transact business In
the morning, which might otherwise
prevent them from accomimnylng the
excursion. Another reason Is that It
will give tho Knight Templars from
Great Bend an opportunity to go at the
same time.
All members of Couer Do Lion and
Mellta cnmmnnderles will assemble at
Musoirio ball on Penn avenue at noon
and headed by Bauer's band will hnve
