and he could not furnish it. First when
arrested he was remanded with ball
fixed at $500; at the second hearing the
ball was fixed at 81,000, and now It has

QUAY-HASTINGS OPINION.
Mr. Vorheos. a Martin Lieutenant, Has
Something to Say.
Charles E. Vorhees, antl to the Quay
boom, and a trusted lieutenant of Dave
Martint was In the city yesterday.
While Mr. Vorhees stated he was In
the city on .personal business, It was
quite generally understood that he
came to observe the work of Senator
Quay during the two preceding days
and Incidentally execute a commission
from the governor's camp.
Mr. Vorns Is secretary of the Re
publican city committee of Philadel
phia, and was chief clerk of the house
of representatives until removed last
January.
He says Mr. Quay will be defeated
by a large majority for state chairman
and will have less than seven Instead
of the twenty-five delegates claimed
from Philadelphia. He Is reported as
havlrg ventured the opinion that the
majority and possibly all the Lacka
wanna delegation will be for Hastings.
MORE OF THE QUEER.
Aa Arabian Peddler Tries to Shove Very
Bad Half-Dollar.
An Arabian peddler was arrested last
night for attempting to pass a counter
felt half dollar on a Providence car
conductor. When the car reached the
central city the conductor pointed out
the man to Officer Melnzer, who arrest
ed him and found the bad 'half dollar
In his possession. He also discovered
that they Arabian has been peddling
without a license for over tea months.
At the etatlom house the prisoner
claimed that he received the bad coin
from a Hungarian In Providence ahd
that he was not aware ot Its spurious
nature. While he was considered by
the police to be Innocent of any wrong
doing as far as the coin was concerned,
they decided to hold him for a hearing
so that he might be given a chance to
explain where he got it and why he did
not get a peddlers' license. The coun
terfeit Is a very poor specimen, and
could not possibly be passed on. a sober
or sane man, unless on some such Ig
norant fellow aa the Arabian peddler
himself.

Movement to Locate Dichiasoa's Law
Department la This City.
WILL BE CONSIDERED TODAY
Lackawanna Bar Association la later,
ssted la the Project-College Waats
vita Students to Observe Coart
Practice la Operation.
There Is a possibility of locating In
this city the law department of Dickin
son college, or Carlisle, Fa., and to this
end a general meeting or the Lacka
wanna County Bar association will be
held In the court house -today at 4 p.
m.
Since Monday. Guy ICairleton Lee,
LL. D., professor of common law In
Dickinson college, has been In Scran
ton In the Interest of the project to
move the college's law department
here.
Encouragement has been offered by
several other Pennsylvania cities, but
Scranton Is preferred on account of the
large volume of legal business trans
acted In the courts and the consequent
opportunities afforded law students for
practical observation. The movement
has already secured the favorable con
sideration of the Judges and many In
fluential lawyers and business men.
There are three special reasons for
changing the location or Dickinson's
law department: First, the college Is
outgrowing Carlisle; second, greater
court facilities are required, and third.
It Is essential to locate the department
In a cosmopolitan city where students
can observe the more practical work
ings of a general court. The Impor
tance to Hcrantonlans of the project
will be understood from the statement
that at least 100 students will be on the
rolls the- coming term; their expen
ditures, with those of the faculty, will
average $50,000 per year.
Kind of an Offer Needed.
Other cities have already offered at
tractive Inducements to secure the
school, but It Is probable If a suitable
suite, of rooms or a building with a
lecture room capable of seating 150
or 200 persons Is offered, the way will
be opened for eventually establishing
the school In Scranton. The project has
already received a substantial endorse
ment and Its supporters In this city
feel sanguine that today's meeting of
the Bar association will bring the mat
ter to a definite and favorable Issue.
A fact which will work In favor of the
movement Is tbe high irank of Dickin
son, and especially Its law department,
among the country's best educational
Institutions. Tills Is proved by a re
cent order of the Supreme court per
mitting this college's graduates to prac
tice In the Supreme court upon presen
tation of their diplomas. A copy of this
ordur is as follows:
In trm Supreme court of Pennsylva
nia and for the eastern district: May 30,
1895, It Is ordered as follows that grad
uates of the Dickinson School of Law
who have passed the preliminary exam
ination before the board of examiners
of any county of the commonwealth
and who have taken the full course of
three years and received the diploma
and decree of bachelor of laws, may is
admitted to practice In this court upon
the expiration of three full years from
the date of their preliminary examina
tion upon filing with the prothonotary
a certificate from the dean of the said
school, stating these facts and exhibit
ing their diploma together with a cer
tificate of good character aa in other
cases. In testimony whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and the seal of
the said court, at Philadelphia, this
thirtieth day of -May, i90.
