PRESIDENT MITCHELL'S ANSWER
Affidavit of Defense in the Damme
Case Brought by the Deposed Pro
feasor of .Mathematics, Piled Yes
terdnvWhat the Uonrd Proposes
to Prove When t'nsc Comes to Trial.
President George Mitchell, acting for
the board of control, yesterday, through
the district's solicitor. Hon. II. A.
Knarm. Hied with I'rothonotary Pryor
an answer to the declaration of Profes
sor A. L. McCloskey In the damage suit
which he has instituted against tne
school district.
When the boar was ;ltctlnsr a
faculty for the high school. Professor
McCMoskev atmlied for and was ap
pointed to the position of professor of
mathematics. At the succeeding meet
ing the board reconsidered Its action
and deposed Professor McClorkey, ap
pointing Professor Frank Littell In his
stead. Professor McCloskey, disregard
ing the reconsideration of his appoint
ment, notified the hoard that he was
prepared to fulfill the position to which
ho had been elected, and upon being
refused an assignment, he brought suit
to recover one year's salary, which he
said had been lixed at II.OiiO.
Mr. Mitchell In his ailirtavit of defense
avers that he believes the plaintiff lias
not stated any facts which would en
title him to recover any sum whatever;
that there was no contract of hiru. ver
bal or otherwise, between Professor
MeCloskcv and the bonrrt; tnat tne
board had no knowledge of the plain
tiff having made application to the su
perintendent for a position ntid further
even though he had. it would not be in
any way binding upon the board, ns
the superintendent has no authority to
receive or act upon applications for po
sitions or to employ persons as school
teachers.
STATEMENT OF DEFENSE.
The defendant noes on to deny that
on or about the lllth day of July. 1M.
or at any other time, the board of con
trol ot the Scranton School district
elected plaintiff to a position on the
faculty of the Scranton Msh School
at a salary of ojie thousand dollars per
school year, or at any specific rate
whatever. It is. however, acknowledged
that at the meetinn of the board of
control, held on the evening of July l:t.
lS'.iti, the plaintiff was selected as one
of the teachers of the said Scranton
High School, but the action then taken
did not go so far as to tlx or determine
in any wny the amount of salary which
should be paid, nor was any person
authorized or directed to notify the
plaintiff of such selection, nor as a mat
ter of fact did any person having auth
ority to do so notify the plaintiff of such
action of the school board, and at the
next meeting of the board, to wit: on
July 27. 1896, the action of July 13, ISM,
selecting the plaintiff as one of the
teachers of the high school was recon
sidered and rescinded.
The plaintiff never accepted or signi
fied his w illingness to the board of con
trol to accept the position; never en
tered into any contract whatever with
the board of control, or anybody duly
authorized to make such contract, and
is not now and has never been under
any contract relations with the defend
ant whatever.
The defendant has no knowledge that
Professor McCloskey was notitied by
the superintendent of the board's ac
tion on July 1.1, but avers that if such
notification was given It was without
authority, as such authority is alone
vested In the board ot control,
NOT RESPONSIBLE1.
The contention of the plaintiff that
the board caused-a report of its action
of July 13 to be published in the dally
press, "according to its established cus
tom," was branded as erronous, the
board being in no way responsible for
the reports which the newspapers see
fit to make of the controllers' actions.
In this relation, the defendant called
attention to the fact that the rescind
ing of his appointment was given as
much publicity as the appointment it
self. It Is further denied that Professor
McClaskoy renOrted .for duty at the
opening of the high school and was
refused permission to act by Principal
Phillips; nnd it is affirmed that the
plaintiff never reported for duty nor
performed any duty whatever for the
district. A general denial is made of
the contention that the board broke any
contract for hiring with Professor Mc
Closkey or that he has been injured in
any sum in any way by the board of
control.
The affidavit wai sworn to by Oeorge
Newhill before H. A. Knapp, notary
public.
FUNERAL OF MISS HARLIN.
High Mass of Requiem Celebrated in
St. Peter's Cathedral.
The funeral of Miss Lizzie Harlin
took place yesterday mornlnff at the
home of her parents on Emmet street.
A high mass of requiem was celebrated
at St. Peter's cathedral by Father
Gorman, Father Carmody acting as
deucon and Father Feeley sub-deacon.
The Scranton business college, where
Miss Harlin Whs a student, was closed
during the morning to give the pupils
an opportunity to attend the funeral.
Father Gorman preached a funeral
sermon. Amonc the many floral trib
utes was one inscribed "Schoolmate,"
from the pupils of the business col
lege. The pall bearers were: Michael
Collins, P. J. Langan, Charles Rich
ards, Edward O'Malley, Thomas Conr,
and Patrick Loftus. Burial was made
in Hyde Park Catholic cemetery.
NIGHT AND DAY SCHOOLS.
The Rolls of Each Are larger Thnn
v Ever Before.
Public night schools, In addition to
the number which opened on the first
Monday in November, have been estab
lished In No. 27 and No. 29 buildings.
The attendance Is larjjer than in any
previous years. There is a demand
that night schools be opened before the
close of the month in certain -wards in
which no schools were petitioned for at
the time the others were' established.
From the attendance returns from
day schools throughout the city the
registration remains. as great as at the
opening of the fall terms, notwith
standing the fact that In the past years
the rolls have been somewhat decreased
after the first month or two. An annex
school to No. 14 in the Fifth ward will
he opened soon, probably jtomorrow
morning. :
A PAIR. OF JACKS.
Donnelly's Alleged Comedy Pro
dnccd at the Frothinghnm.
"A Pair of Jacks.'! which was describ
ed on the house bill as a screaming
tarce comedy by H. Orattan Donnelly,
was produced at the Frothrlntrham Inst
night before a good sized audience. The
announcement about screaming wan all
right; there's enough of that and to
spare, but thpre is a paucity of comedy.
The company that produced the
Jacks could have been worse, but
not a great deal, it might be proper
to aaa. i ,. .
BEGINNING IS NEAR.

the decorating.
Although the banquet was not defi

It Will Figure Prominently in Litigation
Which Has Just Begun An In
junction Asked For.
The Acme Coal Company, through its
attorney. S. 11. Price, yesterdny Hied a
bill In equity asking for an injunction
ugainst Jacob W. Stroud and Oeorgo
F. Chamberlain, to restrain the de
fendants from taking possession of the
land nnd coal In Carbondale and Fell
townships sold nnd leased to tho plain
tiffs bv William I. Hoyer and others
on August 3. 1S93, and thnt a judgment
in ejectment obtained by the defend
ants against the plaintiffs be declared
void mid annulled.
In the bill of tho coal company it la
set forth that on July 5. HsM, Stroud
and Chamberlain bought from J. J. Al
bright certain, coal lands In Carbon
dale and Fell township. On August 3.
1S!)3, they leased the coal to William
D. Hoyer, Frederick Fuller nnd Jon
athan Vipond, who assigned the least!
to the Hoyer Coal Company. The .name
of the Hoyer Coal Company was Feb
ruary IS, ls)5, changed to the Acme
Coal Company, lty the terms of that
lease the lessees were to pay 35 cents
a ton for all coal above pea, 10 cents
for pea and 5 cents for buckwheat, un
til all the merchantable coal shall be ex
hausted, and the minimum annual out
put was fixed at 20.000 tons. The lease
further stipulated "that when, In the
opinion of the prantees, all the coal in
the said land shall have been paid for
that can be practically mined, they
shall notify the grantors, whereupon
the sutd parties shall each select a
competent mining engineer, and the
two thus selected shall select a third
competent mining engineer, and the
said engineers, when so selected, shall
constitute a board of arbitration.
The amount of coal specified In the
lease has not been mined, but the
plulntitT claims this was because it is
so interwoven with slate and "honey"
that It could not find a market for it.
It is claimed, however, by the plaintiff
that It has paid about. $5,000 for coal
which has not been taken out, or mined,
and for which it received no considera
tion. On February 17 last Patterson ft Wil
cox, attorneys for Stroud & Chamber
lain, sent notice to Bover. Fuller &
Vipond and to William Griffith, presi
dent, and A. G. Oilman, treasurer of
the Acme Coal Company, they had for
feited all rlshts under their lease, and
unless the minimum royalty was paid
they would proceed to ejectment. Hy
letter dated February 18, 1X96, Mr.
Price, attorney for the Acme Coal
Company, notified Stroud A Chamber
lain that all the merchantable Coal
had been exhausted, called attention
to the arbitration clause and named
J. H. Rlttenhouse, C. E as their arbi
trator. Stroud & Chamberlain took
no notice of this, but their attorneys,
Patterson & Wilcox, on October 24 last,
entered judgment on the ejectment
clause in the lease. This the plaintiff
declares to be a fraud, and wishes t he
court to set it right Hy striking oft the
judgment of ejectment and holding the
defendants from taking or giving pos
session of tho property.

mans Mode the Closing Argu
ment .'or the Defense nnd Jehu P.
Kelly for the Plaiutill'.
While the plaintiff in tho ease of M.
S. McCarthy against Margaret Sran
lon, administratrix of the estate of
Martin Scanlon. deceased, wns on the
stand Monday, he stated and rt p.'at d
several times that he was positive that
the note for 1.0" which is tlu caufe of
the suit was slimed by Mr. -Seatilon on
the day on which it was dated, July
13. 1KKJ, between the hours of 11.30 a. in.
and 12.30 p. m.
In rebuttal of the testimony Jam.-s
Poyle. of the then existing firm of
Yoos & Doyle, and Anna Quinnnn, Mrs.
Scanlon's foster daughter, were calLd
to the stand. Miss Quitman testified
that she broke a coal scuttle on that
particular day and remembered that
Mr. Scanlon went out to buy n new one.
Mr. Doyle swore to Mr. Soanlon coming
to his store about noon on the day In
qur.-Alon and remembered selliiiT him a
coal scuttle. To corroborate his state
ment he produced th-- firm's day book,
which showed an entry of the sale on
July 13, 1SSS.
CHOSS-EXAMINATIflN.
On cross-examination Mr. Kelly drew
attention to the fact that while Mr.
Doyle testified that the sale was made
about noon the coal scuttle entry was
the last but one of the five nnd three
quarters pages of entries on the day
book for the day in question.
Frank Scanlon, a son of the deceased
Martin Scanlon, was called to the
stand by the defense to rebut Mr. Mc
Carthy's statement that he had never
been in the Scanlon home after Mr.
Scanlon married his second wife. The
witness swore positively that he saw
Mr. McCarthy there several times and
particularly remembered his being
there on the day when the alleged con
versation took place In Mrs. Scanlon's
sick room. Contractor tleorge Cooper
also swore to having s?en and transact
ed business with Mr. McCarthy at the
Scanlon home, In the presence of Mrs.
Scanlon. on July Ifi, isss.
Thomas Rlel was called hy thp plain
tilt to tell that Mr. Scanlon had made
admissions to different persons that he
owed Mr. McCarthy money.
HAD MONEY' IN BANK.
Charles Ounster, of the Merchants
and Mechanics' bank, showed by the
bnnk records that Martin Scanlon had
money to his credit at the time the note
is alleged to have been given.
Colonel Fitzslmmons closed for the
defense with a careful review and elo-'
quent exhortotlon. Mr. Kelly for the
plaintiff brought out in a concise and
pointed manner the various points
which he would have the jury particu
larly dwell upon, presenting them in a
plain, argumentative style. Kach of
the two attorneys occupied an hour In
closing, and Judge Archibald consumed
another hour In charging the Jury. It
was 4.40 p. m. when the Jury retired.
AMUSEMENTS.
The most elaborate and gorgeous
spectacle known to the stage. Hanlon's
"Superba," opens at the Frothingham
this evening for a two-hight'S engage
ment. Those who saw Hanlon's
"Superba" last year and expect to sea
the same performance this year will
be disappointed. It is nothing' like it,
but a far better and grander spectacle
In every conceivable way. The ballets
are more pretentions, more elaborately
costumed, mote gorgeous and proline.
Hardly a person that appeared In it
last season has been re-engaged, so
anxious were the Hanlons to present
an absolute novelty. Kveri the dra
matic story has been rewritten, and
now nothing remains of the old piece
except the name. There are fifty now
features in the performance that aro
the results of the latest conceptions of
the famous producers of pantomime.
.
Yesterday's Wilkes-Bnrre News Deal
er In speaking of the Claud Weiland
Zaeo vaudeville company, which will
be seen at the Academy of Music Fri
day and Saturday nights and Satur
day matinee, says: "It was out of the
ordinary. It was high-class vaudeville;
something we don't often Bee in Wilkes
llarre. Miss Wetland made a decided
hit, bcimr applauded again and again.
The principal feature, however, was
Zueo, the wonderful dancer. The elec
trical effects were the finest ever seen
on any staire In this city. The rest of
the programme was also good. Richard
Pitrot, the monarch of mimicry, was
seen at his best. Ward nnd Drown,
America's representative German dia
lect corned inns, created a good deal of
laughter; tho brothers Davenport, com
edy acrobats and boxers, gave satis
faction. Mens. Horace Goblin, the
humorous wizard, and others making
one of the strongest vaudevilles th.it
has ever been offered to the American
public."
A specially welcome engagement, and
one calculated to interest the best class
of the, public of this town. Is the three
performances of grand opera to be
Eiven at the Frothinirhniii on Friday
and Saturday by the International
Opera company. The company in made
up of fifty-five people, nil of them lirst
rlass sinrsrs. who have a world-wide
reputation. Of courw. they are not all
soloists, but the manager, J. S. Loor
bur r. who for the past ten years has
been the director of the tours made
by Patti, Mary Anderson, Gerster. and
many other stars, hns selected the
chorus with as much care as he has
the great solo siniers of the Interna
tiora l Opera company. The operas
to bp given here are Verdi's ever popu
lar "!l Trovatore," which is at once
the most L-eutiful and romantic opera
that the great comporer has ever writ
ten, and tho old favor: to, the "lSo
heminn CJirl," and Donizette's "Lucy of
Lammermoor."
Judging from the press reports of the
tiU'V'Polltan newsonpers, the Fair Sex
Kxtiavaganza company, which opens
on Thursday afternoon at Davis" thea
ter for the balance of the week, Is a
most entei tabling combination. ..e
shall he surprised if the house Is not
crowded after the first performance.
