of tlio Iiltlcntinii Over the linnd

l'ccullnr (storj,
Some lather broad tillogatlons are
made by Joseph Fellow h ngilnst Cor
nellus Kinlth In an equity ttlt begun
eteiilay to senile tlio t emm chance
of land which, tho plaintiff nllegts Mr.
Smith's son, John Stanley Smith, is
Irrtgulutly possessed of.
The suit Is dli ei ted Jointly against
father and son. In the papet book pre
pared by i: C Newi-ontb, uttotnej for
Mr. Fellows. It Is ninde to appear that
Cornelius .Smith, while attorney foi Mr.
Fellows In the suit for the leemery of
the Fellows cstatp on the West Hide,
Induct d his client after lmltig alieady
deeded oin -half the land to him, to
(letd to his son John Htanlp Smith,
anothi i one-fiiuith intdest, which was
to be consldeied In the light ot a 1P
linbursement for the attornej's str
leis and certain monthly allowances,
which the then destitute Fellows was
to teethe The attorney, It would
seem, tiled of this agieement and by
mutual consent, It Is alleged, it was
dlssohed. Smith was to destioy thu
deed given to his son and Fellows was
to hao his property ieconveed to
him.
ufuu was iu:coudi:d.
Follows belle-M-d this had been done,
but when the Supieme- (ouit finally
decided the land suit In his favor ho
dlsiovered that the deed had not been
destroyed, but Instead had been duly
teeorded In the name- of Mr Smith's
son. This, Fellows nets, was an un
due, unfair and unlawful advantage
taken on the part of an attorney
against his client nnd he petitions to
have the died loneelled and the luud
reconv ej ed to him.
Fellows' land Is situated In the Twen
t -first ward extending from the Key
soy Valley inllroad to the Hansom
township line and lj lug between the
lands of Henry OrlMn and the Dcla-wate-
Lackawanna and "Western com
pany, containing In all slM-tj-one acres
and bilng wotth between $r0,0u0 and
$011,000.
In the inily 'SO the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company wanted
a pleie of the land for a siding or some
such purpose and a bargain was stiuek
wheteby another pot Hon of the land
which the company had least d for a.
dumping gmund was to be i pleased
and traded for the newly desired utilp
Attoinc-j F. 17 I.oomls, who was engi
neering the deal for Fellows, discovered
that Mis. Fellows, who had sepat ited
ftom her husband, would not beiomu n
patty to tho dial and as a means of
ovt i coining this dlflleulty and ghlng
the DelawntP, Lackawanna, and West,
etn rompan a clear title, a sheriff'"
sale- wus had.
LOOMIS NOUGHT IT.
Loomls bought In the ptoperty, mades
a due- and tegular comeyance to the
tomptny and Mr Fellows sued Loomls
to icgaln possession of his land. Cor
nelius Smith was engaged by Mr. Fol
low b to pios-ecute the case The liti
gation was commenced In 1&S9 and on
Oc tobet 7, 1S93 the Supreme couit nf
fltmed and ebtabllshed Fellows' tltlo
to the land.
In the meantime, and before the Su
preme conn's decision tho orcurrantes
which octaslonid Fellows' prc-ent com
plaint took place.
Ft Hows is now 71 joars of nge. At
the time ho engaged Smith as his at
torney ho was C3, nnd according to his
own statement wiih btokon down in
health; without any occupation or in
(omo ana r.o tesource-s extopt tho hind
In question, which on net mint of its
being In litigation was of little or no
avail In suppllng his dally needs.
At the time of the beginning of the
aetion in ejittmtnt against Ix)omls,
Smith untitled the plaintiff to givo him
a ten-dav note for J7.000 to securp his
eompem-ntlon for pioft.sslonal setvlces
nnd expt ndltures. Some months later,
Smith pioposed that Fellows should
give him ii deed conveying an undivid
ed one-half part of the lands In ques
tion, and that In consldetutlon theteof
he would give rellows a receipt for
$C,M)0, leaving nn lndebte-dn ss of $.'0)
still on it cord so that a sheriff's sal
might bo effected in cnt-e one was de
bited as In tho formu Instance lielng
piisuadt-d bv his attorney that fetich
tiansaetlon would be advantageous, he
mndo over a quit claim deed for one
half thu laud foi thu nominal eotisldei
ation of $'1,000.
FI7LLOWS' STATFM 17NT,
After reciting the above In detail In
the paper book, the pliiliitllC goes on
to tay
'Hnilng no means of support ns
afotisild. except about $100 which
Ms said attorney advanced to him up
to the month of September 1S11, by
that time the pi ilntlfl was it dined to a
condition of extreme want for the mi-
essatlis of life of which the tic fend mt,
Cm in litis Smith, by ic.nson of the ton
lid ntlal lelutlons between him and tho
plnlutlli, was will awnie. About the
middle of that month when the plain
till' wan In his said nttorney'H olllce
dls-cu.sslne; with itini his destitute nnd
povertj-sttlckcn condition, his attor
ney pioposed to him that It he, the
plaintiff, would conny to him an un
eMvlded fourth part of the bilanco of
the lands In question ho would jxty to
the plaintiff tho sum of $2,000 at such
time us he should u cover the propel ty,
and that In addition to bald sum lie
would pay to the. plaintiff the futther
sum of $15 per month foi his uuppoit
until llnnl Judgment In the cate afore
nld. "The plaintiff haling no means ot
ruppott nor other means of rnlslng
money for his Immediate wants und
necessltlts. and bvlngpt rsuuded by his
nttoiney that it would be a reasonable,
just and fair means by which he could
secure a Hielthoud pending the deter
mination of the said notion; und being
further iiKHiued b his attorney that ho
could occupy hlb olllce for a sleeping
loom, end that tho sum of ?in per
month to be so paid to him would
milntuin und suppoit him In tho mean
time, ho accepted tho pioposal, later,
tho vaine day or the following day, tho
eald Cornelius Smith drew up a died
dated September 10, 1891, and presented
It to the plaintiff for his signature, In
which John Stanley Smith, then u min
or child, t;io other defendant In this
case, was named as grantee-.
"Tho plaintiff, upon looking at tho
deed, discovered that it described an
undivided one-half part Instead of u
one-fourth part of the Lalaiieo of said
lands as had been proposed, and upon
mentioning tho -fact to his attorney
nnd signifying his disapproval, his at
torney Insisted upon the deed being
executed as he had drawn It and de
clined to mnke the proposed deal In
any other way.
"Ilelng face to face with destitution,
nnd unable to devise nny other means
of raisin money to provide tho nee-
tssarles of life; and hl attorney being
unable or unwilling to advise or sug
gest nny other means by which he
could maintain himself In the mean
time, the plaintiff felt driven to the
neceeslty of executing the deed which
his attorney had drawn and did so ex
ecute, aclcnow ledge and deliver It to
him, whereupon tho said Smith made
a memorandum In his own hand-writing
In an account book which he kept
In his olllco of his ngrecment to pay
to tho plaintiff $2,000 without Interest
In case said lands should, so ns nforo
said, be recoveied by the plaintiff and
also to pay the plaintiff from the 15th
day of September, 18U1, until the ter
mination of said action ot ejectment
the sum of $15 per month "
Smith paid to Fellows tho sum of $15
per mouth as agreed upon until Jan
tuny, 1S9J, lit which time the ejtit
mcnt suit lesulted adversely to Fel
lows In the local courts. He told Fol
lows ho would no longer carry out tho
agreement and that the deed, which
had never been given Into the posses
slon of his son would be destroyed
As related abovp, Fellows discovered
after the' Supreme court had reversed
the local court and decided that ho
should have the hind, that Smith had
not destioyed the deed, but had entered
It up and was In no wise; Intent on can
celling It.

REVIEW OF THE
CONFERENCE ftORK
Recent Gathering ol Primitive Methodist
Ministers Was a Notable One.
MUCH 000D WAS ACCOMPLISHED
Reports ltccolvcd Show That tho
Churches Within tho Jurlidlotlon of
tho Conference Arc in n Prosperous
Condltlon--(Juontlous Tlmt Were
"itcforrcd to tho (Scncrnt Confcr-cnco-Oliitter
of n Tlmo Limit Will
He Voted on II) the Church.
The nnininl state conference for 1S97
of the Ptlmltlie Methodist denomina
tion has passed Into history. After
a full week of laborious consideration
of tho business to consider whlrh the
conference met, the members have
neuily all returned to their homes
Mnny will go to new stations, otheis
will letaln the same station held the
previous yenr.
The confetence Just held has been a
piomlnent one In seveinl respects,
namely, the great amount of business
accomplished In the specified time; the
small amount of matter .sent up to the
genetal confe-rtnee for legislation, und
above all the success that has attend
ed tho churches during tho year pnstd
and the good condition of all deuart
ments of work In the conference
charge.
The Missionary fund, under the able
sMpoi vision of its serre-taty, Rev. C.
Ptosser, of Scranton, has reduced u
e'ebt of $1100 to $J92 In two ycats,
and the re-election of ltev M Piosser
to the onerous olllee of secretary of
this fund fm a third term Is a fit
ting recognition of this wotk.
The Redemption final, which has foi
Its comniendnble put pose, the paying
oft of claims hold against n defunct
cook comet ii In which the Pennsyl
vania confprpneo had a third control,
Ins too aci omp 'lied much Much of
the debt nsuitred has been met and
satisfactory amusements have been
mad" to take care of claims still un
paid. FI7W LAY DFLFGATI7S.
One paitlcularly noticeable feature
of the confetpnee wus the until 1 at
tendance ot lay delegates. Tills is ex
I mined by the fact that many
(hurrhis had mude thelt selection thus
dolnf, away with the necessity of lay
d' hvate lepresentatlon.
The lppmt of the committee on state
of enpV-onio showed a decided pio
gtisr all along the line, and out of a
total of 40 chunlies and missions veiy
few required any assistance by uppio
pilntlons from i.onfeienco.
Jn regard to tin matters refeired to
toe general conference, lety little was
sent for legislation to that body
Hie mnttet of Imitation by church,
none let, was leferred nt also the ques
tion of a revision of the discipline nt
t n sent gov truing the confeienie
churches. The principal Items of dis
cipline which were n-ferred nro the "po
tions governing the baptismal and
n-artlago ceremonli s and a decided
change may be madp In these sections.
A matter whiih was to have been re
'tmil for Uglslatlon was that of the
limit of service by one minister nt
any one station. This question was,
l.ovvover, laid upon we table by tliP
conference, and will be retonsldeied
by the churches themselves.
ONLY ONI7 ADDED.
Only one minister was added to the
supet annul y list nnd that was Rt v. W.
Ople, of Shnmokln. Two ministers
who had received calls ftom stntlons
In tho Fastern conference wore ttans
fettid from the Pennsylvania confer
ence. They were Rev. J. Sutcllffe and
Rev. J. Proude. All In nil, In snltp of
the stress that has been felt by the
business wotld during the year passed
and thus materially effecting tho fin
ancial condition nt the church bodies,
the year's work, us gauged by com
mittee reports, has been ery encour
eglng. The holding of the confer" ice In
Scianton was admitted by all to have
been a wH- selei t n The uolnt of
location, an I the r-ni'rtnlnmen: afford
ed tho delegates to the conference
thiough Rev C. Prossei nnd his con
giegatlon both tended to a successful
outcoitit of the conference buslneis.

that the Indebtlness could not be In
creased more than two per cent, at a
time; that Is that the Indebtedness
might be Increased at the will of the
electors two per cent, or any ft action
theteof at a time, but at no time should
the debt vxeeed seven per cent, of
the ptoperty initiation.
While this might have been the spirit
of the act, and It Is generally con
ceded It would not be a bad ixovlslon
at all, it was not the letter of the law
and as a. conseuenco tho municipalities
which misconstrued the meaning of
the net found themselves in a sorry
predicament. Some had Improvements
under way and bonds disposed of.
These bonds were of the course Invali
dated nnd the holders were without se
cuitty for tho money advanced on
them.
Representattics from the larlous af
fected sections, tho local leglhlatots
among them, framed and secuied the
passage of un net inlldatlng such Is
sue of bonds The measure passed tne
senate Monday night and yesterday
Senator Vaughan telegraphed Hon C,
I". O'Malley, attorney for Olyphant
boiough, one of tho affected munlclpnl
ltUs, that Governor Hastings hud
f-lgned the bill.
Olyphant'B bonds were not dlieetly
affetted by the 2 per cent, dltliculty,
nlthough the act passed yesterday
would lemove all question of invalid
ity. These particular bonds weie made
good by a speclnl decision of the Su
pitmeooutt, told of In The Tribune of
Tuesday. .Tcimyn botough's watct
works bonds are among the obligations
affected.
