WON A BIG LAWSUIT.
Vt-rdirt o!'g8.",noo in Pnvorof Frank
lin Howell in Xcw York City.
Franklin Howell, of this city, Thurs
day secured a verdict of $85,000 In the
supreme court of New York, against
the old banking firm of A. W. Dlmock
& Co.
The suit was brought on a promissory
note for. $50,000 made in 1SS4, the Mer
chants and Meehunles bank, of Scran
ton, being the original holder. The col
lateral was $60,000 par stock of tho
Rankers nnd Merchants Telegraph com
pany, which when sold brought but
$2,00". The action was to receive the
balance with Interest.
Dlmock & Co. were nt one time promi
nent brokers and bankers, but failed for
over n million dollars about tho time
the note was made. The defence was
the statute of limitations and the alle
gation that the complainant did net use
good judgment in disposing of the stock,
which would have realized a much larg
er sum had it been disposed of earlier.

TROUBLE WITH THEIR PASTOR.
Congregation of South Side polish
Catholic Church to Meet Tonight.
There is trouble brewing In the con
grogatlon of the Polish Catholic church
of the South Side which has caused a
call to be issued for a meeting tonight
In Mlchalowskl's hall, at I'litsoh ave
nue and Elm street, to protest against
certain actions of the pastor. Rev.
R'chard Aust. The Immediate cause of
the present difficulty Is the proposition
on the part of the pastor to purchase
additional land for the cemetery at
Minooka and have the congregation
pay for It as a congregation.
The plot of ground now used as a
cemetery was purchased In that way,
but those who wanted to bury friends
or relatives In It had to buy lots before
they could do so. This, they claim,
was virtually making them pay twice
for a place to bury their dead and they
object to any similar arrangement in
connection with an, addition to tha
cemetery.
At the meeting tonight It Is the Inten
tion to object to the purchase of the
land unel to ark the pastor to furnish
a statement of the financial condition
of the parish. In the event of Ms re
fusal to do so, Rishop O'Hara will bo
appealed to. Circulars In Polish were
printed for circulation among the
members of the congregation advertis
ing tho meeting, but n large number of
them, it is said, fell Into the hands of
friends of the pastor and they were
destroyed. YeBterday other dodgers
were printed and distributed.
Those best acquainted with the condi
tion of affairs In the congregation pre
dict a very lively meeting tonight.
STEWART EYCK'S EXPERIENCE.
Itohbcd in tbe House Where His Child
Is Indentured.
Stewart Eyck, of Wllkes-Earre, came
to the city Thursday to buy a suit of
clothes for his seven-year-old boy who
Is being laise-d by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Kittle, of 220 South Washington avenue.
He spent the night at Klttle's house,
the greater part of In drinking beer,
and the wee smu' hours in sleeping off
the effects of the drinking, stretched out
on the iloor of the dining room. In the
morning when he awoke he found that
$12 had been removed from his pocket
book, which left him but seventy cents
to fight tlie battles of the world with
until next pay day.
He wanted his $12 and called on .1
deimnn Millar to help him recover it.
Mr. and Mrs. Kittle, James Setzgar and
Mary De Puy, the Inmates of the house,
were arraigned and questioned, and
after a searching inquiry the aldreman
came to the conclusion that the two
women knew more about tho theft than
anybody else and accordingly held
them for court, each being required to
furnish $200 ball, which they did.
During the progress of the hearing it
developed that Setzger and the Do Puy
girl were living together without the
consent or knowledge of the common
wealth and as an olilcer commlslsoned
to uphold the dignity and authority of
the aforesaid commonwealth, the alder
mun held Setzger to bail in $.".00 for his
appearance at court. He could not got
a bondsman and had to go to jail.

state convention of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians. Board of America, They
report that the convention was most
Interesting and that they were reyally
treated by the people of Williamsport.
The members of the delegation from
this city were quite jubilant over the
fact that they succeeded In getting the
next state convention of the order for
Scranton. It will meet in this city on
the second Tuesday of June, 1S9S; the
state convention is held only every sec
ond year.
At the Williamsport convention there
were 336 delegates re-present lug 242 di
visions cf the order, having a total
membership of over 20.000.
A resolution was adopt eel authorizing
the president to name a committee of
live to confer with a similar committee
from the Beard of Erin with reference
to securing a union of the two branches
of the order. The resolution set forth
that If any reason existed In the past
for keeping the two branches separated
that none exists today. It may be that
the convention of 189S In Scranton will
have the distinction of ratifying the ac
tion of this committee In cementing a
bond of union between tho two
branches.
Scrantonlans played a prominent part
In the convention. Anthony MeAdreW
was defeated by only one vote on the
second ballot for the office of Btate
treasurer. Addresses were delivered

which captured the convention in nomi
nating Scranton as the place for holding
the next convention.

TOOK REVENGE ON A TOMBSTONE.
Another Chapter in the McKcnun
McShcrry Troubles.
About a month ago O. F. McKer.na
and Dennis McSherry were doing busi
ness together as marble cutters on
Adams avenue. Differences arose and
they dissolved partnership. McKenna
withdrew from the firm and attempted
to withdraw some tools which he claim
ed were his private property. McSher
ry refused to give them up, whereupon
McKenna one night broke Into the tool
house and made away with the tools,
which he claimed as his own.
McShcrry had him arrested for lar
ceny; he admitted taking the tools and
was bound over to court to answer.
Since that time there has been constant
bickering between the two men and
each accuses the other of wrong doing.
Yesterday McSherry discovered that
during the night some one had chiseled
the Inscription from a costly tombstone
which stooel in his stone yard and cir
cumstances pointed to McKenna as the
culprit. He had him arrested for ma
licious mischief. He was taken before
Alderman Millar and bound over for a
hearing at 3 o'clock this afternoon,
when, It Is expected, some very tall and
lively swearing will take pluce.
