'lllli.i-iiuifa VV l l.athrinie unit I. I
Wedeinun represented the remonstrants
and Attorney Frank T. Okell, the peti
tioner. District Attorney John K. Jones
wus culled as a witness on the oucstloii
of the lltness of the applicant. Mr.
Jones said he knew Krotky as a defen
ant In a shooting u IT rii y, for which
crime he ought to be now serving a
term In 'the penitentiary. The Jury
found Krotky not guilty but the fads In
the evidence, Mr. Jones said, warranted
a verdict of conviction. Mr. Okell sub
mitted a few questions on cross-ex-nmiiiHllon
and then asked leave of the
court to withdraw the application, lie
said that this phase of Krolky's char
acter was news to him.
TKSTIMONY AGAINST DI'N'N,
When the tiiinie of John Dunn of the
same township was called, Attorney
Ijutht'ope said there was a remon
strance. Senator M. K. McDonald rep
resented the petitioner. Five witnesses
were culled against the application.
George II. 1'tirdy was the lirst. He
drank a glass of lager beer in Dunn's
plac e about a month ago, but he could
not say whether or not it was John
Dunn who gave It to him. George Den
nett was called and he never had any
thing to drink but sweet cider. Loren
zo Arthur had nothing stronger than
sweet elder. William Walsh came for
ward und his face wus lacipiered with
a bright sheen as If he had been In
dulging in liquor. lie never drank
anything stronger than sweet cider In
I man's place.
"What were you drinking today?"
asked Judge Archbnld. "Water," re
sponded Wulsh. "That'll do," said I lie
court. William Anderson, outside fore
man of the i;ik Hill Coal and Iron
company at iticliinondale, swore the
place Is not a necessity.
Daniel Healey. constable of the town
ship, was a witness for the petitioner
and testified to the necessity of the
place. Nicholas Glynn. Justice of the
peace, gave similar testimony as did
two others. Last year William Dunn,
a brother of the present applicant, ap
plied and there was a remonstrance
against him. It Is claimed the place
has been conducted only as-a boarding
house and temperance saloon.
The apllcation of H. T. O'Neill was
opposed. The remonstrants were rep
resented by Attorneys Lathroiie and
Wedenian and the petitioner by Attor
ney M. W. lAiwry. The first witness
called was George H. Purdy. who was
a witness against Dunn. He suid he
bought beer from O'Neill a mouth ago.
Tho latter has no license. Attorney
Lowry at this stage withdrew the peti
tion. He said he had no desire to press
it further. Ijist year one or the wit
nesses to show the necessity of the
place admitted that O'Neill had been
dispensing liquor before that without
a license, and Hon. John P. Kelley,
who represented him withdrew the pe
tition then.

FERN'S ANSWER FILED.
Mesponse In the Sapervinoruhlp Contest
la Lackawanna Township.
Attorney Charles H Olver, who rep
resents William H. Fern, against whom
a contest hus been issued for the oflloe
of supervisor of l.ackawanna township
by Patrick Coyne, yesterday Hied an
answer to the petition of the contestant
and in it makes a denial of all the sieci
llcatlons of fraud and illegality alleged
lit Mr. Coyne's petition, which set forth
that 50 votes were -ast for Mr. Fern
for the office which were illegal and not
entitled to lie counted.
Mr. Fern denies this and on the other
hand makes the charge that &t and
more illegal votes were cast and count
ed for Mr. Coyne. He asks that the
petition be dismissed by the court. The
court will be asked by the petitioner to
rnppolnt commissioners and proceed
with the contest.
CHARGE!) WITH Ml SDKS.
San Toni Given a Hearing and Recom
mitted to the County Jail.
Sam Tonl. the accused murderer of
John J. 1 after, wus taken from the
county jail yesterday, where he was
confined on a warrant charging htm
with felonoiis wounding und after a
formal hearing before Alderman Fuller,
was recommitted on a. charge of mur
der. After the shooting occurred Tonl was
arrested and committed to jail in de
fault of bail by 'Squire Keese. of Old
Forge. He secured batl a few days lat
er and was released. When,' however.
Halter's condition grew serious. Dis
trict Attorney Jones ordered 111 n i to be
locked up to await the result of Raft
er's injuries, since that time he has
been in Jail charged merely with fel
onoiis wounding. Yesterday's proceed
ings were for the purpose of bringing
against him the charge of murder ac
cording to the liiiding of the coroner's
jury.
The heailns took place at 4 o'clock,
and was a very brief affair. John T.
Martin, attorney for Tonl, was pres
ent, but did not have anything to say.
District Attorney Junes called Coruner
Longstreet to swear to the verdict of
bis jury and Itoss Keogh, who was with
Halter when the shooting took place,
was called to identify Ton! as the man
who committed the deed. The alder
man made out a committment and the
accused man wus taken buck to Jail.
Tonl showed n great deal of agitation
during the proceedings and eyed Kejgh
closely when he wus testifying as to
his identity. One thing which will go
hard against the accused man Is that
one could not lie easily mistaken In his
Identity. He has a face the like of
which probably does not exist, being of
on odd cast and covered with powder
murks, and In stature he Is decidedly
out of the ordinary, being only about
five feet tall and weighing In the neigh
borhood of UNI iMiunds.
He denies the shooting and claims to
know nothing about the affair. Ills
attorney says that Ills line of defense
may huve some surprises In It.

THIRD EJECTMENT SUIT
U'cidners Are Not Disposed to Give
I p the Battle.
KESILTS OP fOKMEK TRIALS
One Verdict Was for Mia. Weidaer and
the Other for the Land Company.
Case lias Been to the
Supreme Couit.
Another chapter In the famous eject
ment proceedings of Laura E. Weldner
against the New York, Ontario and
Western Land -ompany, has opened.
Attorney S. H. Price, representing Mrs.
Weldner and her husband. A. J. Weld
ner, yesterday began an ejectment suit
against the above company to recover
an undivided one-eighth Interest in sev
enty acres of coal land in Olyphant
borough. It is the third ejectment suit
that has been brought for this laud.
Mrs. Weldner won the first one, the
company the second, anil now Mrs.
Weidner hus begun the third battle for
what she lielleves Is her property.
Mrs. Weldner Is one of the eight chll
di-eii of Alexander Dolph, who died In
1S60. ul'ter naming his son, Kdward
Dolph, as the executor of his last will
und testament. In 1868. Kdward Dolph
purchased of his sister, Laura C. Weld
Her, her Interest In her father's estate
which was un undivided one-eighth In
terest thereof. This assignment was
not acknowledged, but was recorded In
1ST-, and then there was a written ui
knouledginent upon it, without separ
ate acknowledgment by the wife. Mrs.
Weldner was paid $l,0O for her Inter
est, but claims that it was then worth
tlii.linu.
In IHHS Mrs. Weidner brought an ac
tion In ejectment for the laud now in
dispute on the ground that the purchase
by the executor or her interest
was Illegal and for the further
reason that there was an absence of
acknowledgment of the deed.
DEATH OF KDWARD DOLPH.
Kdward Dolph died In April. 1X90,
and on May 1-' following his executors,
Isaac P. Hand and Kdward S. Dolph,
tiled a bill In equity In the court of
common pleas of this county under the
provisions of an act which gives courts
of equity power to rerorm defective ac
knowledgments. The bill alleged that
tho acknow ledgment of the assignment
of April 17, 1X08, executed and deliv
ered by Laura C. Weldner and A. J.
Weldner. conveyed property of the wife
to Kdward Dolph und was defective in
not stating Miut Mrs. Weldner was ex
amined separate and apart from her
husband and asked the relief afforded
by the act of assembly.
The answer of the Weldners was a
denial that there had been any acknowl
elgment before the Justice. N. W. War
ner, or any ot her officer. The defendant
in the present case who had purchused
the Interest of Kdward Dolph In the
land, and the Delaware and Hudson
Canal company, who had leased the
coal from Mrs. Weldner, were olso
Joined as defendants In that cose. Tho
bill wits dismissed In tho court of com
mon pleas, un appeul was taken to the
Supreme court and the decree aflirmed.
The first ejectment was then brought
on for trial und a verdict was hud for
Mrs. Weldner. an execution Issued and
she was put into possession of the land.
The company still claimed the land and
a petition was tiled under act of assem
bly, requiring' the defeated party or
claimant to bring ejectment within six
months, whereupon another suit wus
brought.
FIHST Sl'lT WAS PKND1NG.
The first ejectment suit was pending
When the New York, Ontario and West
ern Laud company's grantor, J. H. Kerr,
purchased Ibn interest of- Kdward
Dolph In the land. At the second trial
of thecasethecompany's counsel offered
the assignment from A. J. Weldner und
his wife to Kdward Dolph; It was ob
jected to because not properly acknowl
edged. The objection was overruled
and thP evidence admitted, because of
the statute curing defective acknowl
edgments. The defendant offered to prove that
there was no acknowledgment of the
assignment, but on objection this evi
dence was excluded. The defendant
also offered to prove that the value of
the property in suit wus very much
greater than Kdward Dolph. the admin
istrator, had paid for It, but this evi
dence, on objection, was excluded. The
counsel for the plaintiff and defendant,
each usked for binding instructions. The
court directed a verdict for the plaint ilT
for the land described In the writ.
It was held by the Weldners that
there was no acknow ledgment, the deed
was void and there Is no law that cures
it. and the court erred In rejecting the
evidence to '.hut effect; tliut the pro
viso of the uc. of 1KMI thut "this act
shull not apply to suits pending and un
determined" rendered it Inapplicable to
the case at Issue, as a former ejectment
was pending which was substantially
the atiic suit; thut the purchase by the
administrator and conveyance to lilm
of Mrs. Weldner's Interest In all the real
and personul properly of the decedent.
Alexander Dolph, was prima facie void;
that the judgment in the first ejectment
was llnul; thut the final decree In the
suit to reform the acknowledgment
could not be annulled by act of assem
bly. INSTHCCTIoN OF TIIK COI'HT.
The court did not tuke that view of
the case, but Instructed the Jury as fol
lows: "The responsibility of Ihe dispo
sition of the case ut this time falls upon
me. There Is no question of fai t to sub
mit to you, and therefore nothing upon
which you would have to pass or render
anything more than a formal verdict,
such as the court directs. I think un
der all the evidence your verdict must
be In favor of the plaintiff, and your
verdict, w hich is a formal one, will be
taken to that effect."
An appeal from this verdict was tak
en to the Supreme court and was r
gited there in February, ls5. The
higher tribunal sustained the position
of the court below, but the Weldners,
not yet discouraged, have decided to
have the case reviewed ugaiu and to
that end brought yesterday's ejectment
suit.
MIST PAI "iS U RREXCY.
opinion of Judge Gunster with Regard to
luking Appeals.
A case was decided in court yester-'
day by Judge Gunster which shows
pretty nearly what disposition will be
made of the appeal of Attorney Cor
nelius Smith from the award of arbi
trators made in favor of Attorney Ira
11. Hums. Judge Gunster ruled that In
canes of appeal from an award of ar
bitrators the costs must be paid in
currency.
Hopkins & Roberts, contractors, who
built the Frothinghuiii theater, entered
ii mechanic's lien against it und ufter
ward a scire facias was entered. The
plaintiffs were represented by Attorneys
Flunk T. Okell and I. H. Hums and
the defendants by Attorney M. W. Low
ry. An amicable agreement was ar
rived at to submit the dispute to ar
bitrators. The case progressed and an
award was in due season given in favor
of the defendant, it having been agreed
that the plaintiff hud no cause of ac
tion. Attorneys Okell and Hums appealed
from the award and paid the costs. Mr.
Okell gave his check to Prothonotary
I'ryor. Attorney lxiw ry took out a rule
to strike off the appeal nnd showed
that the costs were paid by cheek. The
opinion of the court Is as follows:
"One of the conditions precedent to a
valid appeal from an award of arbitrat
ors is the payment of the costs within
the twenty days allowed by the act of
assembly; and It has been repeatedly
held that actual payment is required.
Payment by check, or by draft, or by
charging them to theappellant'a at- ,
torney is not payment within the mean
ing of the act It appears from the
record in the present case that the
award was tiled September 2, lSUo.that
the appeal was taken Scjt. 23. lxili,
(more than twenty days after) and that
the costs were paid by check. The rule
is made absolute."
Attorney Cornelius Smith In taking
the apepal from the $1 ". award giv
en against him paid the costs by check;
the court has the papers now.
