COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Fcur Cases Tried and Several Continued.
Smilh Opinion Not Handed Down Be
cause Judge Archbald Was Not Here.
A three-weeks' term of common pleas
court began yesterday morning with
Judge Edwards on tho bench in the
main court room und Judge Uunster In
-No. z. There was disappointment In
the fact that the court did not hand
down an opinion In the disbarrment
proceedings against Attorney Cornelius
Smith. Judge Archbald's ubsence from
the city was the reason the opinion was
nut handed clown. He held court lust
week In Sunbury und was expected
home yesterday, but he did not arrive. I
An interpleader suit was the first one
culled fur trlul before Judge Edwurds. I
The plaintiff was Mrs. Caroline !:. V. I
Konecny and the defendant. Mrs. Em
ilia Mittelstaedt. A tew mouths ago
Mrs. Mittelstaedt entered up u Judg
ment In the olHce of Prothonotary Pryor
i ..... rni. ...!,... ............... k,.ui...n.i
the plaintiff, nnd the sheriff levied upon
the stock of hulr goods, etc.. in the
store on Ltickawannu avenue. Mrs.
Konwny obtained a writ of Interplead
er, claiming that the stock belonged o
her and not to her husband. The case
was heard nnd the Jury brought In a
verdict for Airs. Konecny.
ACTIONS FOIl WAfiKS.
Two suits for wages were heard be
fore Judge Ounster. Stephen Evans
and Michael Eveis were the plaintiffs
und William T. Smith was defendant.
The amounts involved In each rase was
about :!. The defense was that the
Plaintiffs were Indebted to him, ruther
than that ho owed them anything. The
Jury had not brought In a verdict at ad
journment.
The second rase tried berore Judge
Edwards was thut of M. Mulley against
K. Walton for wages. Attorney A. A.
Chase appeared for the plaintiff and
Senator J. C. Vaughan for the defend
ant. Mulley is IS years old and he
worked driving a dray wagon for Mr.
Walton from August 81 to Dec. 13 lust
year, fifteen weeks at the rate of $4 a
week. He tdalmed that he was paid
$12. SB. Mr. Walton claimed that he paid
the . young man from time to time
amounts aggregating $M).3.". while he
owed him only $t0. He overpaid him,
h said, expecting to keep It out of his
wages later on, but before he got a
chance to do so Mulley got too strong to
work nnd unit. He overpaid him be
cause the young man was eompluining
of hard luck. The Jury brought In a
verdict of $38.08 for the plaintiff.
STEEiUil AGAINST OAKLEY.
The assumpsit suit of C. C. Steere
against D. K. Oakley was called for
trial before Judge Edwards nnu a jury
was selected and sworn. Attorneys C.
V. Dawson. A. A. Vosburg, and J. M.

SCHOOLS WILL NOT
BE IN SESSION TODAY
Decided I'pcn at Last Night's Meetinc of
Board of Control.
MOTION WAS CARRIED BY ONE VOTE
Retaining Wall nt So. 19 School Will
Have to Me Torn Dow nContract
for Hcntiug and Ventilating No. 10
School Awarded to Hunt A. Council.
Communication, from Mrs. Ann
Ilk-uniond,
The schools of .Scranton will not be
opened today In view of the two pa
rades which will take place. A motion
that the schools be dismissed for the
day was carried by one vote at Inst
night's meeting of the board of control.
W. J. Welsh made the motion and .
was opposed by Air. Wormser. who de
clared that It would be a bad precedent
to establish. He hoped that It would
not carry. After the motion was put
the ayes and nays were required to de
cide It, with the following result:
Ayes O' Mulley, Casey. Drvanney.
Welsh. Schuefer, Conrad, Wulsh. Langan,
Not9.
Navs Francois, Davis, Carson. Worm
ser, Jacobs, Jennings, Schrlefer, Gib
bous S.
Mr. Jacobs, chairman of the building
committee, recommended thut the west
end of the retaining wall at No. I'i
school be torn down und a more sub
stantial wall erected In Its stead, and
that the cost of tearing It down and
rebuilding be borne by the architect
and contractor, the board to pay only
for the extra muleilal needed.
Mr. Wormser and Mr. Gibbons were
not In favor of the committee's recom
mendation. They wanted the commit
tee to huve new plans prepared nnd
estimates of rust Invited, with nn
equitable apportionment of the cost
between the architect and the board.
OPPOSKD THE REPOHT.
Mr. Welsh stood up and opposed the
report, saying that he would not agree
to placing one rent of expense on the
board; it was the architect's mistake
and he ought to stand it. The report
was, however, adopted.
A communication was received from
Attorney W. W. Lathrope, represent
ing Mrs. Ann Richmond. It stated
that the old Drinker turnpike recently
vacated ran along land occupied by
Mrs. Richmond, adjoining land now
occupied by the school district. Last
August she applied to court for the ap
pointment of viewers to assess dam
ages done to her property by the va
cating of the turnpike, and the view
ers appointed awarded her damages to
the amount of 1250. This award en
tlted her to half of the roadway In
front of her property and If she fences
It In it will spoil the looks of the school
property, Mr. Lathrope thought, and
he advised the board to buy her title to
the twenty-two feet of roadway. The
ease was referred to the attorney of
the board.
The final estimate for No. 13 school
was $2,5riO. and this was ordered paid,
except $150, which Architect Duck
worth recommended be deducted on
account of the failure of the contractor
to put In tho water supply.
NO. 10 SCHOOL CONTRACT.,
The contract was awarded to Hunt
& Conncll tor heating and ventilating
No. 10 school. The amount of their
bid is I3.U90 for heating and ventilating,
and 1515 for putting In closets. The
bill of Hunt A Connell calling for the
payment of 11,859.70 on account of the
contract for heating and ventilating
the high school was ordered paid.
It was recommended that the appli
cation of Miss Nettle Maloney for a
permanent certificate be approved.
OTHER THIEF IS, CAPTURED.
lie Went After the Horse in Havre dc
(race.
Chief Simpson has received word
from Havre de Grace, '.M.. that Theo
dore Myer was captured there on Satur
day last.
He, It will be remembered in com
pany with Frank llaz-mrd. now in the
county Jail, stole Liveryman Walt-r
Prall's horse and carriage from In front
of Horn's hotel. In Providence, two
weeks ago Sunday night.
They drove the turnout to Havre de
Grace and left it in a livery stable, un
til they could return here and get their
own horse and wagon which they left
behind. This daring attempt led to
Hazzard's arrest and ultimately to the
capture of Myer.
After Hazzard was taken In this city
Myer hastened back to Havre de Graco
to secure the stolen hors, not knowing
that his pal had made a clean breast
of everything. The authorities there
were watching for him and when ha
called to claim the turnout was taken
Into custody. As soon as the necessary
papers can be secured he will be trjught
on here.

Fire broke out In tho mule barn ad
joining No. 2 breaker of the Greenwood
Coal company ut 11 o'clock last night,
and only 12 of the 4X mules stabled in
the barn were got out; the other 3S
were destroyed. The fire burned up so
quickly that no time was had in which
to save the animals and on account of
the proximity of the barn to the brenk
er, every effort was directed toward
the latter to hinder the lire from reach
ing that far.
When the watchman discovered the
barn on lire he sounded an alarm with
the breaker gong. General Hui?rln
tendent John Loverlng and a force of
employes responded, und they were
busy until midnight saving the breaker.
The barn wus a new structure re

the burning of the turge number of

PRESBYTERIANISM IN AMERICA.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The Prefbytei-ians were among the first

Britain. In New England they were an
torhed Into the preponderating element
of English Puritans, but In New Jersey.
Pennsylvania Delaware. .Maryland and
the Carollnns, they established Indepen

full eclesiaslleal machinery to which they
were accustomed In the old country. In
the middle colonies their ranks wore re
rruited chiefly from large migrations from

by emigrants from Scotland, who formed

Our readers may form some conception

in extremely destitute curcumstancea
and that her brother had on the day
preceding her arrival started out with
thirty-nine cents In his pocket to look
for work In the lower part of the atate.
The day after her arrival the dead and
mangled body of her brother was
shipped home from Eoaton where he had
been run over by the curs while cross
ing through k railroad yard.
She buried her brother and with only
$90 of her savings left came to this city
to look up a married sister who had
formally lived in Bellevue. This sister
had moved away and none of the neigh
bors knew of her whereabouts. Dis
heartened and sick she determined to
bid farewell to her relatives in Wllkes
Barre and return to Chicago. While
waiting for the train in the Delaware
and Hudson station In this city her
pocket book containing the $90 left out
of her savings was stolen by two wo
men of the town who picked It up In
the toilet room where she left it while
washing her little girls face. The po
lice took care of her over night and
took every effort to find the thieves,
but being unsuccessful sent her back to
Wllkes-Barre the next day.
SOLD HER WEDDING RING.
Her two relatives there could bare
ly support themselves und consequent
ly could not take cure of her and her
two children, so she was compelled to
sell the contents of her trunk piece by
piece, and even her wedding ring to
procure food and lodging.
Sunday the lust article of value they
had, a ring which her younger daugh
ter had given to her for a Christmas
present, was pawned to pay for lodg
ing. Thoy had return tickets from
Wllkes-Barre to this city, and not
knowing what else to d.- came here.
She went to the headquarters of the
board of charities, and while waiting
for Mrs. Duggan Street Commissioner
Kinsley happened In, and hearing that
they had had nothing to eat since 4
o'clock Sunday afternoon, took tpem to
Mitchell's dining room, provided them
with food nnd secured employment for
tho mother durlnjr the rush that Is now
on owing to the conclave. Ho then In
terested Poor Director Fuller In the
case and stnrtod off to look after the
sttcet arrangements for the parade, In
which business he waa up to his ears
yesterday.
Wade Finn, who was In Adermnn
; Fuller's office when the woman's sad
story was belmr related, left $" with
the alderman to be used In supplying
some of the immediate wants of the
unfortunates. Aderman Fuller said he
jvoltld see that they were sent back to
Chicago all right, so It Is likely that
they will soon find their sufferings at
an end. Mrs. Wilson Is a skilled lace
curtain cleaner, she says, and can se
cure plenty of work when she gets
home.
