That tho Judges were not Idle during
the holiday vacation was attested by
a cart-load of opinions and orders that
came down from the bench on the re
sumption of court yesterday morning.
There would have boon even more had
not Judge Archbald's spare time been
taken up with the recoupt of the Dun
jiioro ballots and the trial of a case In
Towanda.
Joseph J. Jermyn's petition for a pre
liminary Injunction restraining the
board of control from levying taxes on
the city assessment was refused by
Judge Gunster, The legality of the
board Is the main question at Issue
court opines and this will be disposed
of In the quo warranto proceedings
brought by John Jermyn to oust the
board of twenty-one.
Tho first local attempt to apply tho
law tequlrlng children to support .their
parents was passed upon In an opinion
by Judge Gunster. Samuel S. Vo.II, of
Fell, brought suit under this new law
against his children, De Witt Vail,
Henry Vail, Andrew Vail, John Vail
and Joseph Vnll. All of the defend
ants, with the exception of Joseph,
agreed to pay $3 a month to the sup
port 'of their father. Joseph contended
that he was not financially able to con
tribute anything, and Judge Gunster,
after reviewing his testimony, concurs
with him, and dismisses the ease.
The two big verdicts secured at the
last term of civil court against the trac
tion companies will stand as far as the
local courts are concerned. In the case
oCUzz!e Gllmartin, of Carbondalo,
against the Lackawanna Valley Rapid
Transit company, In which a verdict
of $7,G0O was rendered, the rule for a
new trial was discharged, and In tho
case of John Regan and his wife, Mary
Kegan, against the Scranton Traction
company, wherein a verdict of $2,500
was given the plaintiffs, the same dis
position was inude of the petition for a
new tilal.
ItlLCElVEK REFUSED.
Judge Archbald refused tho petition
of E. K. Ilanley for a receiver for the
Traders' and Hankers' Mutual Life as
sociation, The proper course to pursue,
Judge Aichlald says, would be to
bring tho matter to tho attention of
the Insurance commissioner, through
the attorney general. The charges of
fraud, contained in the petition, are
too vague and Indefinite, court rules,
to be entitled to any consideration.
In the ejectment case of John J. Mar
shall against Simon Rico, Judge Ed
wards discharges the rule for a new
trial with the following opinion: "There
are very few exceptions on the record
In, this case, considering the large
amount of testimony taken on both
sides. The Incident which occurred
during the argument to the Jury by de
fendant's attorney and which was,
made the subject of an exception, is
of very little consequence. In our Judg
ment. There was no evidence to jus
tify tho comment counsel proposed
making on tho clause of special war
ranty contained In the deed from Mor
ris to Marshall. And the matter was
of such slight moment that we cannot
see how It would effect the case either
way,
"Tho rule for a new trial Is dis
charged, and a new trial refused."
The ground for a new trial was that
court erred In forbidding .the defend
ant's counsel, E. C. Newcomb, to com
ment to the Jury on the fact that the
deed which Marshall held was a quit
claim deed, wnlle all Its predecessors
frt the government patent down were
wi. ,ty deeds. The Idea of Mr. New
comb was to show that Morris, who
gave the deed to Marshall, knew that
Rice had gained possession of a part
of the land by squatter's right. Court
held that the contents of u deed was
for the court nnd not for .the Jyry.
JURY'S A3VARD ENTERED.
In the case of B. S. Wakeman against
J. N, Thomas and P. H. French, tho
rule for Judgment for the defendants
notwithstanding the verdict was dis
charged by Judge Edwards, and the
Jury's award of $150.28 was directed to
enter for the plaintiff. The rule for
a new trial falls by this decision.
In the famous false Imprisonment
case from Clark's Summit Andrew S.
Myers against S. P, Lltts Judge Ed
wards refused the application for a
new trial, but cut down the verdict
from S700 to $250.
In the case of .the Wegman Fruit
company against the Scranton Mer
chandise company, the rule to dissolve

of John II. Jones against Charles Clark

against E, a. Hoffman the rule to
strike off the appeal was discharged
and the defendants given permission
to perfect the appeal.
In the case of George K. McMeehan,
Son & Co. against Andrew Rauch
mayer, Judge Edwards denied the rule
for judement for want ot a sufficient
affidavit of defense. He said: "The

In form and substance to prevent Judg
ment. It sets forth a legal defense."
The rule to open Judgment in the'
caa.0 of A. E. Detterly against David
E, Davis was made absolute by Judge
Edwards.
RULE MADE ABSOLUTE.
In the case of John O. Scovel against

audit opened was made absolute by
Judge Gunster. The application was
made by N. B. Levy, who alleges fraud
and collusion on the part of the de
fendant and senior execution creditors.
Scovell was employed In "Wright's Jew
Wry store, before It was closed by the
sheriff.
Judge Edwards denied the rule to file
an appeal nunc pro tunc In tho cane of
John McGuIre against Richard F. As
well. The petitioner has a good de
fense, the Judge says, but his failure
to file an appeal within the prescribed
time was due to his own neglect and
court Is powerless t; remedy It at this
lato day.
In thoiso of Dr. "William McDowell

REQULAR COURT BUSINESS.
Grand Jurv, Constables Returns nnd
I'.qiiitv Session.
Judge Archbald charged the grand
Jury yesterday morning, and they
forthwith entered upon their duties
with W. W. Inglls as foreman. The
list of cases Is not very large, and there
are none on the list that are of spe
cial Importance, so it Is quite likely
that the work will be finished inside a
week's tnie.

enough to go over the list and continue

Tho remodeling ot the old Center
street stntlon houso Is fast nearlng
completion. By tho time some minor
legislation necessary to tho utilization
of the place as a bastlle is passed, It
will bo ready for occupancy. Consid
ering the fact that he had a $2,000 limit
on which to work, Building Inspector
Nelson has performed wonders with
the old barracks. It Is now, or will bo
when tho finishing touches arc put on,
quite a model lockup.
The whole Interior, from cellar to
roof, was torn out bugs and all and
enrted away. Tho basement, which
formerly only extended under tho renr
half of the building, has been enlarged
to the full dimensions ot tho building.
One stone cell was allowed to remain,
but It was thoroughly overhauled and
Improved In a sanitary way and Is vir
tually a new cell. The floor of the
basement Is concreted and the sldo
walls cemented.
The ground and second lloors aro nlso
of concrete, laid on tiles and steel
beams, nnd the walls throughout are
cemented. Tho roof celling, excepting
In the center, where there Is a large
skylight, double-barred, Is formed of
bare tiles. The other ceilings are
cemented.
. --.
GOOD SANITATION.
Each lloor drains to a center and at.
this central point Is a trap opening to
the sewer. Tho whole interior might
be likened to a brick box with three
apartments, all cement lrned. To clean
the place the Janitor can start at the
top with a hose and Hush every Inch
of ,pace In the building.
The flll'llltnrn will lin un nrrntiroil na
to Interfere In no way with the Hush
ing process of. cleaning. A space seven
feet deep and the width of the building
will be reserved nt the front of the
house for the desk sergennt's office.
The desk will be small and light, so
that It can bo cairled t)utslde In house
cleaning time, and the wall fixtures
will have covers made for them that
will protect them 'from the water.
The cell room, which will be supplied
with Iron cages. Is beyond the ser
geant's office and is partitioned off by
nn lion grating extending to the ceil
ing. At the loft of the cell room Is nn
Iron stairway lending to the Second
lloor, nnd a flight of stone steps, under
neath, leading to the bas-ement. For
the present the top lloor will be used
ns a lodging house only. Lodgers will
be required to furnish their own sheets,
pillows and blankets; tho city feeling
that it did Its shaio when It directed
the contractor to turn out the soft side
of the concrete.
With the permission of councils, the
four cages "which now occupy the space
along the Inner wall of the cell room
In the central station house will be
taken down and removed to the new
lockup. These, with tho Btone cell In
the basement, It Is thought, will suf
fice until provision Is made for more
In the appropilatlon ordinance. Steam
heat will bo used and aprjllances put
in for gas and electric lighting.
PRECINCT HEADQUARTERS.
Tho new station house Is to be re
garded In the police regulations as a
precinct headquarters, the same as a
West Side or South Side police station.
It will probably adopt the name of the
central city station house. All prison
ers arrested In the central city wards,
excepting on the "hill," will be taken
to the Center street house. Prisoners
taken In the "hill" district will be
locked up in headquarters in city hall.
Women, of course, will be taken to
headquarters, where there Is a wo
man's ward.
Arrangements will be made whereby
there will be a desk sergeant on duty
at both the "headquarters and Center
street stations nt all times. The lieu
tenants at night will make their head
quarters in the Center street place.
'Police court will bd IipM in r-nnfn..
street. Just where the prisoners locked
up in neauquarters will be tried Is not
decided upon, but It Is quite possible
that, they will be tried in the mayor's
court room. This, as Is true also of
other details of the arrangements, 13
subject to circumstances. The plans
outlined ubove, however, are to be
given a trial. If uny of them prove
to be Inexpedient they will be changed.
The main purposes of tho new station
houso are to supply a lockup nearer
the "busy" district, so that patrolmen
wlll-iiot have to leave their beats un
protected half an hour or so until they
are dragging, a dead-drunk to a cell,
and again to tramps and their accom
paniments out of the city hall.

Tho new president, too, will probably
appoint his committees for the year

to bo dealt out, und that they nro
worth getting .Is evidenced by the nu
merous candidates.
A president, secretary, treasurer, at
torney and tax collector of the board
are to bo elected. A superintendent,
matron, physician and two clergymen,
ono Protestant and one Catholic, are
to bo chosen for the Hillside home.
That the coming re-organization will

THE FIRST FIRE ALARM.
Chemical Company Visits 11 Defunct
Store For the Necond Time.
The Chemical company responded to
the llrst alarm of the year yesterday
afternoon nnd It was also the fcecond
alarm from one place within five days'
time. The place Is the Lackawanna
pharmacy, located at the corner of
Franklin and Lackawanna avenues,
which was jeeently closed by the
sheriff. Last Thursday 'the Chemical
company responded to a still alarm,
caused bv some person seeing smoke
Issuing from the transom of the de
funct pharmacy.
Investigation showed that the smoke
came from the Valley House basement
by way of a door leading to the store.
Yesterday's alaim was almost as flat.
A red-hot stove In the basement
Under the pharmacy, used to warm the
sheriff's watchman, became overheated
and threatened to burst. So the
Chemicals were called out.
The chemical apparatus kept at tho
hotel, however, cooled the stove before
the fire company arrived.

No other history contains onchalf as many
essential facts of the world's past
No other history ever recorded the progress of the Races of Mankind from th
beginning down to the present day in fact, there is no other history of mankind today
in any language. True, you can procure histories of some of the greater and a few
of the minor races separately partial records for the most part by various histo
rians. True, also, you can consult the encyclopedias for abstract facts and Incidents
of various times and countries, though no consecutive or accurate record can thus be
obtained except by the student. But in Rldpath's History of the World vou read page
after page of the most delightful un-hlstory-like narrative in which is told connectedly
the story ot man from the original stock, through every one of the many ethnic
brandies of the black, the brown and the ruddy races till without effort of memory,
you've a clear Idea of all the existing branches of the great Human Family as well
as the paths they've followed down the centuries from the beginning.
You'll know why some nations have declined why others have risen why
others are yet destind to rise and fall. You'll read of every Important Incident in
every nation's history of every age with no cumbering of unnecessary detail.
You'll start at random any one of the
