The thrlce-trled case of Edwards &
Bntthold against Martha Pltchard, an
nctlon on a $200 Judgment note, Is

husband; that when she signed tho note
she did not know what It was, and
that the note was tampered with af
ter It was made. Experts Tralnor and
Whlttemore, after a microscopic ex

were wiitten some time after the sig
nature. Huslander & Olworth are for

I.OTS OF DEMOCRATS.
Fiftcon Could An Induced to Do
School Hoard CiiiidlilnlPN,
There was a protracted confab last
evening among members of the Demo
cratic cltv .committee in tho offlce of
its chairman, "Attorney George 8. Horn,
In which was considered tho make-up
of a school-tlcket-of-slx for Saturday's
convention In the court house.
There wore ao many avallablo can
didates, soino acceptable to tho com
mittee and some not, that no attempt
was made to form a slate in tho strict
sense of the word. Colonel Herman
Osthaus, A. W. Dickson and Dr. John
Burnett were mentioned as good cen
tral city timber, with tho former tho
most likely cholco and Mr. Dickson
very well fancied. South Side ma
terial was found In Peter Itosar, W. O,
O'Malley and Hon. John P. Qulnnan.
Mr. Bosar was tho most favored.
B. J. Neville, T. J. Jennings nnd J.
T. Hammonds In tho order named
were looked ut)on as the most avail
able West Slders. P. J. Ruane was
picked for the North End. If ho failed
to be acceptable, P. J. O'Donnell or
S. B. Price might be selected.
Three announced candidates who
haven't afllliated with tho committee,
but any one of whim or all of whom
may turn tho convention forecasts nil
awry, are John Qlbbons, of the Twen
tieth ward; Henry Zelgler, of the
Eleventh ward, and ex-Sheriff John
J. Fahoy, of the Ninth ward. Any or
all of tho three are old campaigners
who aren't whipped until a fight Is
over. If they continue their several
candidacies contrary to the wishes of
the committee there will be fun at tho
convention.

to Ho Given,
The base ball situation In this city
is in a most Indefinite state. Last
evening the condition of things was
outlined In detail to a Tribune re
porter by one of those Interested In the
Scranton club nnd may be considered
as authentic. In substance, the sltua
tton Is this:
Pat Poau, president of tho East
era lonE?"18 ueen Riven an option
on tho Sljfauton franchise, good will,
Playors ril effect.,. Tfco option ex
pires ggflRrday. If PoweVs don't take

will five no option" at a reduced figure
to a local comnanv. ns sunn nrtlun
might tend to cheapen the value of the
franchise if the option did not result
in a home sale and opportunity was
later afforded to sell away from home.
Tho owners would, however, sell out
right to any home company or outsider
wno mauo a roir offer of cash and In
tended to keep the club in this city.
POWERS IN WILKES-BARRE.
President Powers was in Wllkes
Barre yesterday and stated positively
that Rochester'would bn In tho Imio
this season. He confirmed tho Til-
bune's Information that he has an op
tion on the Scranton club. In view of
the fact that he came direct from
Rochester to Wllkes-Barre, that he
iruxdo an offer to buy tho Wllkes-Barre
franchise, that the Wllkes-Barre own
ers declined to sell pxcent nt n. nrlrn
at least $1,500 above what Powers of-
lerea ana that he returned last night
again to Rochester all this Indicates
that Powers had Rochester llxed all
right for udmlsslon Into the league and
was dickering, legitimately, to buy
Scranton or Wllkes-Barre, whichever
he could get for the least money, bear
ing In mind tho greater comparative
value of the Scranton club.
The Wllkes-Baire visit Is reported
briefly in the following Associated
Press dispatch to The Tribune last
night:
Wllkes-Barre, Jan. 11. President 1 at
Powers, of tho Eastern Baseball league,
came here today to buy the franchise of
tho Wllkes-Barre club. He says ho has
tho cash ready, but It Is said that the
owners will not dispose of tho lranchise
at Powers' price.
The Wllkes-Barre Record is the
source of The Tribune's information
that the club of that city would be sold
for nothing less than the prohibitive
price of $1,400 anj that a sale at even
that figure was not courted.
That Scranton Is not wanted In the
Eastern league Is a fact as sure as that
the Scranton owners do not want to
remain. In each' cnte this position is
due to th refusal of the owners to play
Sunday games.
It seems likely that by Saturday this
city's franchise will have ceased to ex
ist and will be possessed by Rochester,
although there Is a possibility that no
sale will be made. It all depends on
Rochester, but that city's sporting
writers aflirm that there will be an
Eastern league franchise there th'ls
week. If no advantage is taken of the
option then It may be reasonably pre
sumed that, the .franchise will remain
here but not under the present owner
ship.
STOCK COMPANY PLAN.
Charles S. Fowler has advocated the
stock company plan and received suf
ficient encouragement under the belief
that an option could be obtnlnrd and
that as soon as thu purchase price was
known thu subscriptions would be
closed at the proper figure. The un
willingness of the owners to give an
option locally for fear of no sale.would
make the stock plan more dilllcult but
not an Impossibility. The stock plan
falling, devotees of the snort could
still have the hope that the present
owners would find an Individual pur
chaser. In the event of tho tale to Rochester,
Dyspepsia,
Heartburn, Gas
tritis and all
Stomach Disor
ders positively cured. Grovcr Graham's Dys
pepsia llemedy Is a (.ueclllc One dose ie
moves nil distress, and a permaueut cure of

there Is a possibility that three prom
inent baso ball cranks, whoso Identity
l known to The Tribune, would mako
nn effort to secure a berth for this city
!n tho Atlantic league. This contin
gency Is so far removed nt this time,
however, that no active steps will bo
taken until the present unsettled stato
of affairs tiOtes a definite turn.
A later dispatch from Wllkes-Barre
to The Trlbunu last night wna as fol
io wr:
Wllkes-Barre, Pa., Jan. 11, Mr. Tow
ers wns not successful In his mission to
buy tho Wllkes-Barro club and ho left to
night for Rochester. H'ls said ho is Just
ns well pleased as ho has always been
friendly to Wllkes-Barro. Mr. Powers
declined to say whether ho wanted tho
Wllkes-Barro franchlso for Rochester or
Newark. Several of tho directors of tho
homo club when seen said they would not
think of accepting tho terms offered by
Powers. Tho bnso ball situation hero,
therefore, mny bo summed up n3 follows:
Unless Wllkes-Barro Is paid a fancy
prlco she will not surrender her fran
chise In tho Eastern leaguo but will go
to work at onco nnd placo a strong team
In the leaguo for tho coming season.
