OBJECT TO THEM.
City Psstors Think That the Sunday
Sacred Concert Should Be Pro
hibited Resolutions Adopted.
A resolution was passed by the Pas
tors' union of the city yesterday morn
ing' condemning the practice of holding
sacred concerts in parks about the city
on Sunday. The resolution was intro
duced by Rev. P. A. Dony a week ago,
but at tlon on It was deferred until yes
terday when the following were present:
Rev. James McLeod, D. D., Rev. Thomas
Hell. Rev. John P. Moffatt. Rev. W. G.
Watklns, Rev. G. L. Aldrleh, Rev. Mr.
Dorsey, Rev. A. B. O'Neill, Rev, W. J.
Ford, Rev. C. A. McOoe, Rev. F. A.
Dony, Rev. Q. T. Price;. Rev. William
Edgar, Rev. John Davy, Rev. H. H.
Harris, Taylor; Rev. Mr. Levlsee,
Clark's Summit. The resolution reads
as follows:
Resolvod, That the Pastors' union ot
Scranton and vicinity respectfully but de
cidedly protest against the holding of con
certs, sacred or otherwise, In L,uurel Mill
park, or any other of the parks of the
city, on the Christian Sabbath, believing
the same to be demoralizing rather than
benetUiHl to the city.
Resolved, That a committee of five mem
bers of tliln body be appointed to wait
upon the otticers of the Traction com
pany, or others being responsibly for said
cotM-crts, and endeavor to secure the Im
mediate discontinuance of the same.
Rev. Mr. Dony spoke In defense of the
resolution. He said that he sent an
agent to Laurel Hill park Sunday who
found the merry-go-round running, ar
ticles being sold on the ground and a
nearby saloon running full blast. These,
he said, are accompaniments of the
sacrr d concerts. Dr. McLeod, In an ob
jection to the resolution, said it was
either too broad or too narrow. The
resolution gives ground for criticism of
churches, for at some of them Instead of
the preaching of the gospel the service
is a sacred concert. The condemning
of the merry-go-round and of the sell
ing of beer he thought could not be
made too severe. Dr. McLeod closed by
saying that if the resolution passed, he
desired to be recorded as being opposed
to it. ,' '
The resolution was adopted and Revs.
C. K. Robinson, D. D., William Edgar,
V. J. Ford, A. B. O'Neal nnd J. P. Mof
fatt were appointed a committee to car
ry out the instructions of the resolu
tion. SUPREME OFFICERS HEPTAS0PHS.

COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Case of Howley Against Luce and Others
Called for Trial Before Judge
Gunster.
The third and last mk of the June
term of common pleas court began yes
terday morning. Judge Archbnld is on
the bench fn the main court room and
Judge Gunster is presiding In No. S.
Inthemainroom the day was occupied
In hearing the evidence of the plaintiff
in the replevin suit of John J. Howley
against John S. Luce and the Scranton
Knitting company. Attorney E. C.
Newcomb represents Mr. Howley and
the attorneys for the defendant are
Major Everett Warren, O. B. Partridge,
and Hon. C. P. O'Malley.
The Scranton Knitting company waa
organized by ex-Lieutenant Governor
L. A. Wat res and it occupied the Galland
building at the comer of Penn avenue
and Mulberry Btreet. In 1893 John J.,
A. J., P. F., and M. T. Howley purchased
the building, and soon afterward the
two latter brothers disposed of their In
terest to the plaintiff But he claims
that when he bought the building that
he got with it a certain amount of ma
chinery, a stationary engine, shafting,
belting, pulleys, etc., of the value of
about J2.000 which went with the sale
of the building.
THE CLAIMS CONFLICT.
In 1S91 Mr. Luce and others bought the
interest of the Knitting company and
claimed this machinery which Mr. How
ley alro claimed. The conflicting claims
resulted In the replevin suit to deter
mine the ownership of the machinery.
Governor Watres will be put on the
stand at 8.30 this morning for the de
fendant. Mr. Howley claims that In his
negotiations with the governor for the
purchase of the machinery it, was stipu
lated that the machinery now In dis
pute should go with the building and
become the property of the purchaser.
The defendant demurs and for that
reason will put thegovernoron the stand
to explain matters. At adjournment
Attorney Partldge had opened the case
for the defendant, and court will con
vene a half hour earlier this morning
to accommodate Governor Watres, who
has to get away on an early train.
Another replevin suit Ib on trial be
fore Judge Gunster. Joseph Church, of
Providence, represented by Attorneys
Hulsiander and Vosburg, Is the plain
tiff, and Councilman Wade M. Finn Is
the defendant. His attorneys are W. R.
Lewis and City Solicitor J. H. Torrey.
A . citizen named Barebough of the
North End owned two horses, two wag
ons, and some harness, which were
sold by Mr Finn on a Judgment. The
property was worth about $300. Mr.
Church claimed the property on the
ground that he had a prior judgment
agalnEt Barebough.
CHURCH BROUGHT SUIT.
Councilman Finn did not honor Mr.
Church's request to turn over the prop
erty and Mr. Church brought suit. The
case was referred to arbitrators, of
which Attorney R. H. Holgnte was one.
When the Baldwins were here Mr.
Church was at the Frothlngham one
night and occupied a Beat In the bald
headed row. He wrote this question on
a piece of paper torn from his pro
gramme: "Is Dick Holgate true to me in
the arbitration suit?" Kittle Baldwin
assured Mr. Church that the La Plume
attorney was all right, but the arbitra
tors decided that Mr. Church had no
caus of action, and now the case
is being tried by a judfje on an appeal
from that decision. It will be finished
today.
In the case tried last week of Edward
Brandt, executor against Mrs. F. A.
Reese, a verdict of $100 for the plaintiff
with Interest from Nov. 24, 1893, wns
rendered. In the appeal suit of James
AVhlte & Co., against H. T. Howell a
verdict was taken for the plaintiff in the
sum of $40.70.

DECISION IN FAVOR
OF JOHN JERMYN
Judge Guaster's Opinion on Increasing
Valuation-of the New Hotel.
TO BE TAXED FOR A PART OF YEAR
Coart Decided That Such an Act M as
Not Warrnutrd by Law aad the In
crease ol 50,00O by Hoard of Re
vision and Appeals Cannot Stand.
How the Derision Affects Scranton
and Other Cities.
Judge Gunster decided yesterday in
favor of John Jermyn in his suit to re
strain the board of revision and appeals
from Increasing the assessment of Hotel
Jermyn $50,000. The city assessors
valued the property at $61,073 on Jan. 1,
1SS6, but it was not completed nor oc
cupied until April 1, and on the 23d of
that month the board of revision met
and added $50,000 to the assessment,
with the understanding that tax should
be assessed, for only eight-twelfths of
the year.
Judge Ounster's decision affects twenty-four
third class cities in this state
and It affects Scranton this year to the
tune of about $200,000 valuation, because
similar assessments were about to be
made on the Mears building, the Board
of Trade building, and ether extensive
Improvements in process of construc
tion. Mr. Jermyn, by his attorneys, I.
H. Burns and J. Alton Davis, com
menced an equity suit and prayed for
an Injunction to restrain the city from
collecting tax on the increase assess
ment made by the board. The city filed
a demurrer, which means that It was
contended that Mr. Jermyn was not en
titled to the injunction. The opinion of
Judge Gunster decides that the law does
not entitle the cl'.y to do what It did
In the case. Discussing the law and
evidence Judge Gunster says:
POWERS OF THE BOARD.
"It was contended at the hearing, on
behalf of the' defendants, that the ap
peal of the action of the board of revis
ion was simply to increase the plaintiff's
assessment. That Is true in one respect,
but It clearly appears that the Increase
was made, not because the property had
been undervalued, as it rtood on the first
of January, when the board of city as
sessors assessed It, but because of the
improvements made thereon from Jan
uary first till April first, when it was
completed and occupied. The chief
question in the case Is whether the
board of revision and appeal can In
crease an assessment In that way.
"Assessments are usually made to re
late to a day certain in each year, from
which time the liability of the persons
on property assessed becomes fixed for
that year, after that time neither a
change of ownership nor a change of
value will affect the tax; norcan the as
sessor change names, or put new names
on the roll for taxation, unless there be
express authority In the law. When no
day is designated either expressly or by
Implication, for the beginning of the tax
year. It will be presumed that the cal
endar year was Intended.
"My intention has not been called to
any law which In express terms deslg
nates the paying of the tax year in this
city, but it Is generally understood that
it begins with the first day of the year.
The understanding is borne out by the
act of May 23. 1895. P. L. 118, which re
quires the board of assessors to complete
their annual assessment on or before the
first day of January In each year. What
ever changes in the assessment may be
subsequently made by the board of re
vision, or by the court, on appeal from
their decision, ought to be made with
reference to the value of the property
assessed as of that date.
NO AUTHORITY FOR THE ACT.
"The powers conferred on the board of
revision of taxes and appeals by the act
of 1895 are very large, but I fall to find
any authority in that act for assessing
property which had no existence at the
beginning of the tax year. Aside from
their power to require a new assessment
to be made. If they deem it necessary,
and their duty to rectify errors nnd to
hear appeals, the act mentioned confers
upon them the powers.
(1) To "take and receive the triennial
nnd yearly assensments as returned by
the board of city assessors, and shull have
power and authority to revise, equalize or
alter such assessments In any and every
year by Increasing or reducing the valua
tion, either In Individual cases or by
wards or parts of wards."
"Ana to ana 10 tne assessment dooks
and to the duplicates thereof In the hands
of the city treasurer, or subject to taxa
tlon omitted therefrom."
(3) "And by real estate which has been
exempt from taxation and ceased to be oc
cupied and used for the .purpose which
entitled It to such exemption as taxable
for the portion of the year commencing
at the time when the right to exemption
ceases."
"The act further provides that 'eald
board shall complete their labors and
the hearing and determination of all ap
peals on or before the first day of March
in each year, after which the assess
ment will be copied by wards Into dupli
cates for the use of the city, and the as
sessment so corrected and copied shall
be and remain the lawful assessment for
the purpose of city taxation until al
tered as provided by this act.'
"I refer to this provision of the act,
not because I think it Is mandatory as to
time, but beacuse the time mentioned
has reference to the completion of the
assessment, and is not intended to fix
the beginning of the tax year.
LAW DOES NOT WARRANT IT.
"It will be observed that by their ac
tion the board of revision attempted to
assess and tax the improvements men
tioned for eight-twelfths of the year,
that Is from May 1, 189G, to Dec. 31, 1896.
"If the power to assess and tax for a
part of a year existed, the plaintiff, per
haps, would have no just cause for com
plaint, but a careful examination of the
act of 1895, as well as of the acts to
which It Is supplementary, falls to dis
close any kind of property which may
be taxed for a part of a year except that
described In the third paragraph above
quoted, namely, 'real estate which has
been exempt from taxation and ceased
to be occupied and used for the purpose
or purposes which entitled it to such
exemption.' As an Illustration ot such
property, we might suppose the Home
for the Friendless, when no longer used
for its charitable purposes, but convert
ed into a private residence,
"And It Is significant that In none of
our tax laws Is any provision made for
reducing or decreasing an assessment
after It has once been made for decrease

In value or total destruction of the prop
erty. It is settled by a long line of
authorities that the fact that property
has ceased to exist after the assessment
is made is no defense to the tax. As,
for Instance, a tax now assessed and
levied on the Hotel Jermyn cannot be
defeated In whole or in part by showing
that the building was destroyed by ure
later in the year.
CAN BE TAXED NEXT YEAR.
"No reason has been suggested why
an exception should be made in this case
to the general rule. The Improvements
made by the plaintiff since the begin
ning of the year are no doubt a part of
the property assessed, and will in due
time become a legitimate subject of
taxation, but It must not be forgotten
that they were only a part of the gener
al Improvements made, and being made
during the year, and which are not and
cannot be taxed before the beginning of
a new tax year.
"The demurivr Is overruled. If the
parties wish a formal decree, let coun
sel prepare and submit the same."
WANTS TO STOP THE SALE.
Spring Brook Water Supply Co. Asks
for an Injunction.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor L. A. Watres
and Hon Lemuel Amerman, attorneys
representing the Spring Brook Water
company, began an equity suit yester
day against County Treasurer C. H.
Schadt, County Commissioners S. W.
Roberts, John Demuth, and Giles Rob
erts, praying the court to grant an in
junction restraining the defendants
from sellng the Jasper Ewlng tract in
Lackawanna township for unpaid taxes.
Judge Gunster granted a preliminary
Injunction and fixed Saturday next at
to. m. for the final hearing.
The plaintiff company sets forth in Its
bill that it was Incorporated on March
2, 1896, and leased the property, rights
and privileges of the Spring Brook
Water Co. for a term of 50 years. At
the time of the lease and since March 4,
1892, the lessor was owner In fee of the
Jasper Ewlng tract of land and con
structed a water dam costing $90,000 on
this tract.
The tract and dam Is part of the capi
tal stock ot the lessee and the state tax
has been paid on the capital stock, but
notwithstanding this, alleges the plain
tiff, the county commissioners caused
the tract to be assessed duringthe years
1893 and 1894 for state and county tax.
The tax was not paid, and now the tract
has been advertised at treasurer's sale.
The equity suit prays that the sale may
be stopped and perpetually enjoined. It
is alleged that the commissioners had
no legal right to assess the tract, that
the payment of state tax by the plaintiff
on its capital stock paid the tax on the
tract. The amount of the tax Is $95.14.
His Term Has Expired.
