No conclave of the Pennsylvania
Grand eorui'inndery has been favored
with more pleasing clrcumstnnres than
was this one. The weather was from
the beginning all Hint could be desired;
the welcome, hospitality and entertain
ment provided the Sir ' Knights and
ladies wtis abundant, freely given and
complete: the business of the Grand
commandery Included no jar or hitch.
as far a the general public could on
Horve. nnd the ball and scores of other

by E. Sir Mont 11. Smith, of liilladJl

Tuesday, but the Sir Knight was 'round
about. Just the same until the last of

headquarters In the Frothlngham ar
cade did much toward making the final
hours of the visitors pleasant and in
facilitating their outgoing. . As on the

of Interest.
A serenade last night to R. Sir Grand
Junior Warden Penman at his home on

Sir Edward H. Spencer, who had been

The theater Interior was beautified
with the floral and electric decorations
which it has contained since the con
clave began. The Instrumental music
was by the Couturier Concert band, of
the Hugh do Payens commandery of
Easton, which occupied a position on
the stage back of the officiating ofli
cers. The boy choir of St. Luke's
Episcopal church furnished the vocal
rnuHlc under the direction of J. Willis

nnd of his Intention to Impartially and
religiously attend the trust. When he
had finliihed speaking E. Sir Pennell
C. Kvans. past grand commander of
Hugh de Payens commandery, of
which the now H. E. Sir Yohe Is n
member, made a brief address aud con
cluded by presenting the new grand

mander. Hugh de Payens Commandery, No. 19,

tese cross design, formed of diamonds,
set In which were four large rubles
about one very large emerald. Far
ther down the scabbard was a double
cross of sapphires. In the handle was
a ten-point star, with alternating
points of sapphires and diamonds. In
the center of which was a very hand
some ruby.
Then took place the Installation of
V. E. Sir Harry M. Van Zandt. deputy
grand commander; E. Sir Henry H.

vent to long and loud applause and re
peated It when he took his seat at the
left of the grand senior warden.
E. Sir Acting Grand Marshal Lin
den's proclamation that tho officers had

ASPHALT CASE IS -IMW
BEFORE COURT
Argument Heard on a Demurrer Filed
Against Barbers' Bill la Equity.
WAS PLACED ON ARGUMENT LIST
Attorney W. W. Watson. Who Ap
peared for the C omplainant, Said
the Contract W as Awarded to Dunn
Brothers in an Irregular M ar-Mr.
Burns Averred That the Court Had
No Power in This Case.
Defore Judge Edwards in the main
court room yesterday morning argu
ment was made on a demurrer filed by j
the defendant in the equity suit of the !
Barber Asphalt company against the !
select council of Scrunton to restrain I
Ita members from concurring in the j
action of common council In awarding
the contract for paving Monroe ave- ;
nue to Dunn Brothers.
The bill in equity was filed last week.
and Attorney 1. H. Burns and ex-Judge ,
W. H. Jessup, representing Dunn I
Brothers, filed a demurrer to the bill. I
claiming thnt the plaintiff has no I
standing In court, not being the low
est bidder, tlr. Burns argued that the ',
court cannot interfere until the con- ;
tract is concurred In by the upper :
branch of councils and Is siirned by
Mayor Bailey. He held that the court '
nos no -ouer over me common coun-
cil's rules,
Hon. W. W. Watson appeared for the
Barber Arphnlt company- and argued
thut tho manner In which the lower
branch awarded the contuict to Dunn
Brothers was Irregular, and not In con
formity with Its own rules: for that
reason the court Is comnstent to place
the aim cf equity upon the proceedings
and restrain select council from con
curring in an action which was not
properly disposed of.
Ex-Judge Jessup replied on the part
of the defendant. He argued that the
plaintiff's bill In equity does not al
lege that anything final has been done,
and for that reasoi the plaintiff cannot
charge that any damage or Injury has
been sustained. He said further that
what the company calls equity is ask
ing court to compel common council
to award the contract for paving Mon
roe avenue to the hlghrn bidder.
Judge Edwards ordered that the de
murrer be placed on the argument list,
when It will be argued before the three
judges in a month from now.
MR. PALMER'S P0CKETB00K.
Blocked I'p a Waste Pipe in the
Scranton House.
A waste pipe in tho toilet room of
the Scranton House became blocked
during Tuesday night and when plum
bers got to work on It Tuesday night
they found the obstruction to be a large
Hat pocket book and a number of val
uable papers such as stocks, judgment
notes, insurance papers and the like. An
examination showed that th'y belonged
to W. Scott Palmer, of Glenburn, and a
message wac sent to him notifying him
of the. find.
Whether he lost his pocket book in the
Scranton House or whether some one
stole it and after rifllngltthrew it where
It was found, will not be known till the
police hear from Mr. Palmer. It Is safe
to presume that a thief thn w the 1 o ket
book where It was found ns nothing
but papers valueless to any one save
the owner were found with It.
WILL BE TAME TONIGNT.
