COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Lonry Trespass Suit Adjurned I'ntl
Monday.
This Is a legal holiday nnd the courts
will not be in session nor will the court
house otllces be open for business. The
trespass suit of C. 8. Lowry against the
Kcrantnn Traction company was ad
journed from yesterday afternoon un
til Monday morning;. The plaintiff's
side Is closed, reserving the right to
call Dr. Wehlau, who is confined to his
home with Illness.
Attorney Horace Hand, for the de
fendant, said that there will be but
very little testimony on their side and
the case can go to the jury Monday.
The testimony taken yesterday was to
corroborate the plaintiff that he had
been permanently injured in the acci
dent. Dr. Lackey, of Providence, who
has been Mr. Lowry's family physician
for twenty-five years, testified that be
fore the uceldent the plaintiff was free
from all ailments, except a slight cold
now and then.
In court room No. 2 the ejectment
putt of James M. Everhart against
Oeorire F. Nesbltt and G. Mortimer
Lewis, of Wllkes-Barre, Is still on be
fore Judge Gunster. It will go to the
jury tomorrow evening: very probably.
The plaintiff's side closed yesterday
and part of the defendants' evidence Is
lit. The most of the time was spent
with submitting assessment books, tax
receipts, deeds, etc.. to the jury. The
defendants contend that the taxes were
paid before the sale of the land by
them to County Treasurer George Kln
bnck. The defendants purchased the land
from Paul Aten, who got a deed for It
from tho person who received a grant
of it from the commonwealth.

. . i ;..

Other Laid It on the Tabic.
INTRODUCED IX THE COMMON
Was Adopted by That llody After Some
Debate, bat When It Weut Over to
the Solcet Very Different
Aetlon Was Taken.
A resolution directing; the mayor to
cause V. M. Ruthven, the lecturer, to
leave the city was passed by the com
mon council last night, but was laid on
the table in the select.
In the sixth order of business Presi
dent Grier. of the common council, in
troduced the following resolution:
Resolved by the common council of the
city of Bcronton, the select council con
curring, that the mayor of the city be e
luested to employ proper measures to
force V. M. Ruthven to leave the city.
His books, whlc'h are being circulat -d
throughout ths city, are obscene and In
jurioim, and his language so immoral and
offensive that It is a marvel that he Is
able to find in the city a person so de
graded as to sit and listen to his vaporlngs
during a meeting.
Mr. Regan moved the adoption of the
resolution and Mr. Hlckey seconded
the proposition. Mr. Zetdler said that
the mayor hud already acted In the
matter and he did not think councils
had any right to pass such a resolution.
Mr. Oliver also expressed the opinion
that councils had no right to consider
the resolution.
Mr. Noone held a contrary opinion.
He thought the adoption of the meas
ure proper as it would expresss the
sentiments of the members of councils
on the matter
SIMON THOMAS' MOTION. .
Simon Thomas moved to lay the res
olution on the table but this motion
was not seconded. Mr. Zeldler advised
against adopting the resolution for the
reason that he believed councils would
be exceeding their powers in doing so.
He did not want to defend Ruthven's
conduct but he felt that the proper
course would be to have him arrested
and arraigned before some alderman.
It would be wrong for councils to get
mixed up in a religious discussion.
Mr. Noone declared that there was
nothing religious about Ruthven and
that it was proper the resolution should
pass. Mr. Nealis favored the passage
of the measure, ho said, because It
would be notice to the mayor that the
councils would sustain him In any reas
onable effort to rid the city of Ruthven.
The resolution was then put and was
adopted but two nays being heard in
opposition. The roll was not called.
When the resolution was presented
In select council Mr. Manley moved to
concur. Mr. Fellows raised the point
that the resolution was out of order,
as it was not a councllmanlc matter.
Mr. I.auer made a motion to have It re
ferred to the Judiciary committee.
Mr. Coyne objected to this, as It
meant virtually that the measure
would be burled. He said he deplored
the fact that such a measure had been
Introduced, as the only effect it would
have would be to give Ruthven more
notoriety, but as It was before the body
he felt that It should be disposed of
one way or the other.
Mr. Roche agreed with Mr. Coyne
that the resolution should not have
been Introduced, but felt that there
ought to be an expression of sentiment
on It while It was before the house.
MR. WILLIAMS' OBJECTION.
Mr. Williams objected to the resolu
tion on legal grounds. He said they
had no more right to pass a resolution
to banish Ruthven than to pass one to
banish lngersoll or anyone else of that
stripe that might come to the city. He
wus opposed to Ruthven's course, but
believed tho courts should be appealed
to If it was desired to put a stop to him.
Mr. Lauer contended thut the resolu
tion should go to the Judiciary com
mute, as it raised the question of law
as to whether or not the mavor would
have the power to follow the behests
of the resolution if it did puss.
Mr. Sanderson moved to lay the mat
ter on the table. Mr. Roche objected
to this proceeding. He again contend
ed that the resolution should not have
been Introduced, but as It was before
the house there should be no dodging.
Mr. Sanderson called attention to the
fact that all this discussion was out of
order as a motion to lay on the tnble
was before the house. Mr. Chittenden
got In a Inst, word, saying that the
resolution did not belong to council.
The vote was called on the motion to
table the resolution and it passed by a
vote or 14 to 7 ayes, Ross, (Finn,

Just as he got outside In the corridor
an attack of vertigo overcame him and
he fell on his face on the marble floor
with such force that his right cheek
bone was dislocated and his front teeth
were loosened. The blood gushed from
his mouth and the supposition was that
he had been stricken with hemorrhage.
After fifteen minutes he recovered and
was able to leave for home in charge
of his brother-in-law. Thomas Burke,
who was present. His face was badly
contuscH by the fall, and he was so

whose tendency for bringing about
large financial deals is well known, is
Interested In securing for this city a

COUNTY CONSTABLES MEET.
They Proposo to Tako Steps to Bring
About Scvornl Changes.
A secret session of the constables of
Lackawanna county was held yester
day afternoon in the arbitration room
of the court house. Notices had been
sent out to all the constables to be
preseit. but only a small percentage
responded.
After thu meptinR one of the guar
tilans of the peace In conversation with
a Tribune reporter Bald that their ob
ject was to bring about certain changes
which will make their offices more
profitable. One complaint they claim
to be suffering from Is the surplus of
special constables in the city. Another
Is that when requisition papers are
served the job has heretofore been
given to some police officer. The con
stables sny that they are officers of the
commonwealth and when any business
pertaining to the commonwealth Is
transacted thnt they should get the
benefit and not municipal officers.
They also desire to derive the benefit
of the new fee hill which the county
commissioners refuse to accord to
them.
TRAMPS THINNING OUT.
They Are (mine tho Station House the
(io-lly Theso Pleasant Mghts.
Returning twangs of love's passion In
the heart of youth are not half as
good an indication of the .approuch of
spring as is the thinning out of the
army of tramps that, during the win
ter, conies in out of the cold, seeks
lodging In the central station house.
On a real cold night, twenty and
some times thirty vagrai ts are lined up
on the floor of the corridors about the
cell room. Last night there was scarce
ly half a dozen, and when the warm
weather comes there will be but one or
two during d night. The average tramp
perfers by many degrees the hay mow
or steel mills or dump-shontles to a
station house with the ever dreaded cop
In sight.
HOW MR. CIII'GtVATKR GOT LEFT.
Mr. Chugwater entered the store with
the confident air of a man who knew ex
actly what he had come to buy, and was
prepared to pay the cash for it.
"I want a Ituttcworth pattern No. 99,
074." he said, "for a 3S-lnch waist."
"Are you sure that's the right size?"
asked the young woman behind the coun
ter. "Yes; that's the size my wife toltl me to
get."
"is it for her?" asked the young womad,
with some hesitation of manner. '
"1 don't know that that mukes any dif
ference," rejoined Mr. Chugwater, slight
ly raising his voice, "but I have no objec
tion to stating thut It is."
. "I beg your pardon, but but would you
mind telling me how much she weighs?"
"She weighs about 150 pounds."
"I thoucht so," said the young woman,
reaching promptly for something In one
of the pigeon holes behind her. "It's a
H-lnch size the lady wants. A 38-lnch
would be about the right size for a 17.1
pound person, and we don't keep it in
stock. Twenty-live cents, please."
Mr. Chugwater paid the money, put the
pattern In his pocket and walked out of
the store with a curious feeling that he
hail shrunken three or four inches too
small for his clothes and thnt 401 glg

THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE
Scrintoa Possesses One, bat It's Yet
. a Dark Secret.
C. I. JADKIX IS INTERESTED
Ue Uas Had Expert Mechanics at Work
on Ilia Son's Invention An Ex
pected Speed of Forty
Miles Uonr.
Before many days there will be roll
ing along the streets of this city a
horseless carriage, and what is equally
interesting, the machine will be the
product of Scranton in idea and manu
facture. Ordinarily such un announce
ment might be received with a certain
allowance for the visionary enthusiasm
of the Inventor nnd workmen, but in
the present case a man so well known
as C. P. Jadwin. the real estate dealer,
is lurgely interested in the carriage
which is the Invention of his son who
is connected with the Scranton Drop
Forge works.
As long ago as last November young
Jadwtn began work on a horseless car
riage and as soon as a model was prop
erly developed it was sent to the patent
olllce in Washington, where the patent
Is now pending. The first effort to con
struct the vehicle was in order to test
the principle of the thing, and the suc
cess has been so great thHt Mr. Jad
win and his son believe the carriage
will equal In speed and power any of
the latest Inventions of the kind and
that it Is the most practical yet con
structed. The first carriage built was aban
doned as soon as it was found practical
and work was started on another which
Is now housed away from prying eyes
in the Green Ridge Bectlon of the city
where it Is receiving the finishing
touches of comietent mechanics before
it is given a road trial.
KEROSENE MOTIVE POWER.
Kerosene will furnish the motive
power, but the particulars of the me
chanism Is not known as Mr. Jadwin,
his son and the mechanics who have
been employed by the former are extre
mely reticent and refuse to discuss the
matter. It is known, however, that the
driving power is created by the con
stant dripping of the oil upon a flame
within a confined space which creates
a perpetual but mild series of explo
sions. The explosions drive the piston
back and forth, the piston being at
tached to a crank on one of the axles.
In building the second and present
carriage nothing but new material has
been used. The wheels are fitted with
rubber tires and are much the same
as those seen on cabs manufactured by
makers who cater to fashionable pat
ronage. In adopting a body and seat
for the vehicle there was a departure
from other horseless carriage Inven
tions, nearly all of which Include the
body, wheels and seat of some aban
doned buggy.
A Tribune reporter found Mr. Jadwin
In his office In the old postofilee build
ing yesterday afternoon and asked him
for some particulars of his son's Inven
tion. Mr. Jadwin declined to discuss
the mattsr in detail but said the vehicle
could be made to attain a speed of
about 40 miles an hour and to climb
the steepest hills In and about the city.
ON THE ROAD IN TWO WEEKS.
He said Its parts were poetically put
together nnd within fifteen days It
would be painted and run on the streets
of the city. His manner and words In
dicated that the carriage had In some
way been given a practical trial ond
test. He did not say this explicitly but
he had some strong motive for being so
sanjruine of success.
Mr. Jadwin expressed his firm belief
that within a very short period horse
less carriages would take tho place of
the present means of road transporta
tion for pleasure and lie explained his
great interest in his son's Invention by
saying that he was particularly unx
lous to possess the first of these modern
carriages In Scranton. In order to
guard agulnst failure because of poor
workmanship, he said several expert
mechanics from Scranton shops had
been employed and the carriage would
be perfect In lis mechanical construc
tion. Good Friday Services.
