The company ten dered periodical payments of royalties to tho Walsh estate but they were re fused, the Walsh heirs repudiating the agreement on which the offers were based. The plaintlfls engaged Surveyor C. W. Thompson to ascertain how much coal had been mined from the tract and agreed to consider terms of settle ment based on his report. The com pany disputed the correctness of tho surveyor's (hidings and the conse quence was the present ruR.

By order of Judge Oum-tor a rule was yesterday Issued to open judgment in the case of M'-s. Lena Wadsworth, for merly Mrs. Lena Pieese, against her ex-husband Samuel A. I3ree.se, whom she lias sued on a. judgment note for S2O0. The rule to open judgment inci dentally opened some very Interesting history, revealing among other tilings that a divorce had been secure by means not In consonance Willi public pollcyto put it mildly. Ureese In his petition declaies that on Dee. 2, lS'JI, he anil his wife, Lena Ureese, the present plaintiff, ngreed to separate. Articles of separation were duly signed, together with an agree ment that he should pay her iOOO cash, give lief a note for $200 and rot op-.i-pose her petition for divorce, while she was to release her .lower interest In a tract of land, (situated In Carbondale. llo paid her the $G00 cash, did not oppose her dlorco which was granted in August, 1Mi, and stood ready to make good the $-f'0 Judgment note, but sue refused to live up to her part of the bargain, in regard to tho Carbondale property, and he In consequence re fused to pay the Judgment note. She Instituted the present cult to re cover on the note and he comes in with the above as his defense. He claims that the consideration for which the note was given was Illegal and ngalnst public policy and at all events she did not live up to her part of the contract In whicli the not.' In question was a part. He also declares, by way of offset, that owing to his Inability to control a clear title to the rVtrboiiJalo property he mL'sed several opportuni les of disposing of It at a profit and finally had to se It lold at sheriff's sale for much less than Its real value. GA.VE THEM A BARGAIN. Says It W'a a Mistake mid Mauls Court to Correct l(. That no two law suits are alike Is proven every day. That some'of them are very much dissimilar to others was Instanced in u case Hied yesterduy by Vosburg & Dawson for Philip Henry Smith. Smith owned an Irregular-shaped plot of land In Illakely containing about three ordinary sized building lots. In 1RS2 he contracted to sell one lot to James and Addle Dolph for a consid eration of $.r,0. In April, 1SS9, he ac companied the purchasers to the of fice of Alderman D. J. Lewis, nnd there transferred to them a deed for the lot, which Instrument the alderman had prepared In advance. Later on Smith sold the balance of the tract to John Crompton, and he In turn dlsiosed of It to Mrs. Slckler. LaBt December the Dolphs, who had purchased the llrst lot, brought an action In ejectment against Mrs. Slck ler for the land she had purchased from Crompton. Mrs. Slckler called on Crompton to defend the suit and he fell back on Smith for an explanation. Smith Instituted an Inquiry und to his great surprise, so he nlleges, learned that through an error In tran scribing, the deed made by Alderman Lewis transferred to the Dolphs the whole plot, Instead of the one lot they had contracted for. Smith now comes Into court and asks that the deed be reforned to agree with the contract. It will he alleged at the trial of the case that Mrs. Crompton and Mrs. Dolph are sisters, nnd that the latter accompanied the Cromptons when they went to pur chase the land In dispute from Smith. WILKES-RARRB AND NORTHERN. The Cars Mill lie Itun to the I.nko by Electricity Instead ol Steam. The Times was substantially correct last evening when It stated that a change of management has taken place In the Wllkes-Barre and Northern rail road, lieslde the election of John Gra ham as president to succeed John II. Reynolds, John A. Schrnitt was elect ed a director. Mr. Graham states that the Wilkes-Uarre und Northern has no nlllance with the Wllkes-Ilarre and Wyoming Valley Traction company, pther than a tralllc arrangement be tween them such as him existed since the construction of tho former. none are definitely under way for the changing of the motive power from steam to electricity. As Is well known the cars are now run to Luzernp by means of electricity and thence to Har vey s Lake by means of locomotives, It Is expected that the cars will make Iho entire trip by electricity before the summer trade opens. The cars are al ready equipped with motors, etc., and all that will bo necessary will bo to string the trolley wire. This will make the rldo to the lake much pleasanter. The smoke nnd cinders from tho engine were nlwnys an nnnoynnce, especlnlly when open cars were used. With the introduction of electricity as the mo tive power tho ride to tho Inko will be made much moro enjoyable', The hnndsoma new hotel being erect ed nt the lake by Iho Wllkes-Harro and Northern will bo completed nbout Juno 1 Wltkes-Unrre Times.

Itule jiJ When two umpires are as signed, one shall be known as tho "Hot ctee I'mpire" and tho other as the "As sistant I'mpire." The rentier's tegular position In the game shall be behind that or the batsman; anil the latter's position in tlie iield neur either llrst. second or third bases, and the umpires shall not exchange duties during the progress ol a game, except by consent of the captains of the opposing teams. Itule 57 The especial duties of tho rel eree umpire shall bo lo call balls and stiikes and to decide foul balls. Those ol the ussitaut umpire shall bo to decide all points of play In running the bases except the home be so, which the referee shall alone decide. Rule 5S Tho referee umpire shall act as tho government representative of trie league, and as such shall have tlie power to enforce every section of the code or playing rules of the game and lie sliull have the power to order any player, or captain, or club manager, to do or to omit to do, any action that lie may deem nec essary to give rorcu or effect to the laws of the game. Kule r.'J There shall be no appeal for any legal decision of either tho referee umpire or the assistant umpire. ltulo Ou Under no circumstances shall any player bu allowed to dtsputo a decis ion by either umpire, In which only an er ror of Judgment Is Involved; and no de cision rendered by either umpire shall bo reversed, except it be plainly shown by the code of rules to have been illegal; and In such case the captain alone snail bo allowed to mako tho appeal for re versal, ltulo CI In all cases of violation of these rules, either by a player or a man ager, the penalty shall be a prompt re moval of the offender from the grounds', followed by such period of suspension from actual service in the club, as the umpire or the president of the league may elect. Hole 02 Before the commencement of a game tho referee umpire shall see that thu rules governing all the materials of the game are strictly observed. He shall usk the captain of the home club wheth er there are any special rules to bo en forced, and if there are, ho ijliall see that they are duly enforced, provided they do not conflict with any or these rules. Rule 13 Tho referee umpire shall not only call "play" at the hour appointed for tho beginning of the game, but ulso announce "game called" nt Its legal con clusion. WHEN TO SUSPEND PLAY. Utile 01 The refeico umpire shall sus pend play for the following causes; First, If rain i falling so heavily us to oblige tho spectators to seek shelter; In which case ho shall note tho time ot sus pension; und, should rain fall continu ously for thirty minutes thereafter, ho shall terminate tlie game. Jlule 05 The releiee umpire shall sus pend play in cpse of nn accident to hlm-t-rlf or to tho nssitunt umpire, or to a player which Incapacitates him or tliem irnn service In tlie Held, or In order to remove from the grounds any player or spectator who has violated the rules. Kule 66 In suspending play trom any legal cause, tho referee umpire shall call "time;" when he calls 'time" the play shall bo suspended until he calls "play" uguln, and during tho interim no player shall bo put out, l.aso be run, or run bo scored. '"lime" shall not be" called by tlie umplro until the ball Is held by tho pitcher standing in his petition. ltulo 07 Tho referee umplro shall call and count as n "ball" any unfair ball de livered by the pitcher to the batsman, but pot before such ball has passed tho lino of tho home base. Ho shall also call and count as a "strike" every fairly delivered ball whicli passo over any portion of tho homo base, and within the batsman's legal range ns defined in ltulo 13, whicli is not struck at by the batsman, or a foul tip which Is caught by the catcher stand Ing close up behind tho batsman, or which after being struck nt and not hit. strikes the person of the batsman; or when tho ball is purposely hit foul by tho batsman, or when the ball Is bunted foul by tho batsman.

Among the other proposed chnuges noticed nre: In no case shall a base hit bo scored when a baso runner has been forced out by tho play. In nil cases of "out" for Inti rference, running out of lino, or Inllchl lly dropped, the "out" should be credited to the play er who would havo mado the play but for the action of tho boso runner or bats man. In all such cases assists should ha credited to every player who handles tho ball in tho piny. An error shall not bo scored against iho catcher for u wild throw to prevent a stolen baso unlets tho baso runner ad vances an extra baso because, of tho er ror. No error r.hall bo scored on an InflcUI er who attempts lo complete n dnublo piny unless the throw Is so wild that an additional baso Is gained. f-f-f-fft-ftM-f-f-H-t-r-f-f-f-f-t-- T WORLD OF SPORT, t ! M--H- 4-4- 4-f ff-M-f f4-M- Iteplv to n Critic ol llobln. Sporting Editor of Tho Tribune. Sir: I would like to say a few words In reference to a savage and uncalled for attack in tho Uepubllcnn nils morn ing on Hobby Dobbs, who fought and defeated Hob Kane in Music Hall Wed nesdny night. Dobbs has appeared bo fore tho California Athletic club, the Twin City Athletic club of Mlnneapo Us, and many other notable clubs of America nnd his record as a clean fighter Is not surpassed by any pugilist In the country. Hy reading the con clusion of the Itepubllcan's article It. will be seen that Kano makes no com plaint about unfair fighting on the part of Doblis. Tho knock-out blow landed squarely on Kane's mouth, cut his lip nnd dazed him so that ho was unable to control his limbs. Kane said after the fight: "I know Dobbs Is a vicious Inflghter, but It Is in the game and I would have done the same had an opportunity pre sented Itself." Dobbs is a lighter, one of the best in the world In bis elnss T bellov.. Imt ho 1s not a brute nor docs he net the brute in mo ring, it Is manifestly unjust to Injure him by giving out the impres sion that he Is a "dirty" lighter. John T. Nicholson. Scranton. Pn., Feb. 24. Ilichacl n Jockey. Jimmy Michael, the famed cyclist, will become a Jockey. The matter was settled Wednesday In the rooms of the Brooklyn Jockey club In New York. "I am little nnd light," said Michael, "and some stronger and bigger man Is sure to beat mo in the end, for the riding is very wearing. I want some thing to full back on as soon as I find that I am no longer first in wheel racing." He completed his request for a trial ns a Jockey by saying that he did not propose to give, up cycle racing for good until he was sure that ho had in him the making of a good Jockey. P. J. Dwyer without hesitation agreed to give Michael the trial he wants. No contract was made, and both Mr. Dwyer and the bicycle champion are at liberty to terminate the verbal con tract at will.. Michael began his new work yesterday. President Freemantle's Answer. President Preemantle, of the Oxford University Athletic club, speaking of that organization's declination of the challenge of tho American universities for an International contest this sum mer, said: "We reached the decision only after tho most careful and painstaking In quiry. No one regrets more than my self that we have been obliged to de cline. When the challenge was re ceived In December I wrote to many past members of the Oxford University Athletic club, men who are thoroughly posted in the history of international college athletics, and the whole mat ter was carefully considered nt several committee meetings. Cambridge was also consulted, as they had received a practically identical challenge. We had not only to consider the situation this year, but the whole future of college sport." Hurst und Knwdt ism. The attitude of the St. Louis club on the "kicking" problem will be watched with interest, as the team will be this year managed by a former umpire, Hurst. AVhlle umplro last year Hurst Uned only two players. Hurst's experi ence with rowdy ball players, there fore, should mako a rather easy task for umpires to work at St. Louis next season. He has not said anything on the question as yet. but It is safe to say he will thoroughly sift tho matter beforo going on record as for or against. Hurst is a believer In fair play for the players and also for the umpires. Manager Hurst has not yet decided on who will captain the St. Louis Drowns. He has several players on the club list who could successfully 1111 tho position, but the most likely one is Dowd. Dowd stands well with Hurst, and for this reason many believe he will be appointed to head the team. (ieiierul Notes. Shortstop Monte Cro.s has signed with the Philadelphia club. If there should be no light for tho heavyweight championship beforo July I Peter Manor Intends to cl.-.lm It and post a forrcll to defend his right against all comers. The dates for tho l'ale.Harvard baso ball games are announced. The llrst ono will be at Cambridge, Junt 21; the second at New Haven. June 2S, und tho third, If a tlo should result, at New York, July a. "Piper" Donovan, of Natlck, Mass, wants to break Into tho proposed raco between Wefers, the amateur champion sprinter, ni d A. It. Downer, tho best profcsHloMii In the old country. No such match Is ever likely to bo decided, but if Donovan wants n match ho has only to cover tho forfeit made by Downer, who Is open to rut any man In tho world from UK) to 000 yards. Manager Hums' Chicago learn will leave for spring pastures on Murch 5. They will go through o preliminary con ditioning process iit West 1 laden, 1ml,, ami u week later will go to Wnycross, Oa., to get down to business. President Hart and Mnuuger llurns will together attend the league meeting at St. Louis, where something In the matter of now players muy bo done. llllani Joyce, manager and captain of tho New York team, has arrived In Now Yoik from St. Louis. The llmo is nearly ripe for tho preliminary spring practice of th team, and Joyce will not devoto his energies to the arranging of the de-' lulls incidental to the trip to Lakcwood. Joyco says that tho New 'orks will re port in that city on March 10, und then go to Lakewood, where tho regular team will play each day ngalnst the extra players. They will return to the Polo ground April 5 and play four or live ox hlbltlon games beforo the opening of tho regular championship season. It Is set tled that Joyco will play first base this seuson. i JONAS LONG'S SONS.

Hva Fogt Are l'nll ot Fine Particles of 11 Yellowish Powder. Prom tho I.os Anseles Times. People laughed nt the man who said that the fish he had hooked "kicked up such a dust In tho water." Perhaps they will laupli at the heading "of this article, but there will be "sea dust," nevertheless. We have heard of waterspouts, of shower. of llsh, of salt rain, and many other curiosities which present them selves in tho atmosnhere, hut to assert that there Is such a thine as sea dust is to transcend all reasonable bounds. The evidence, however. In favor of Its existent'.; Is exceedingly powerful In disputable, In fact and this is the story told by eye-witnesses: They sty that in certain parts of the world, notably about tho Cape de Verde Islands, there are constantly met at sea, several hundreds of miles away from land, thick, yellowish-red fogs, not unlike London fogs In November. These fogs obscure the atmosphere and are very injurious lo navigation, liut they have not the baleful odor of their London prototypes, nor do they affect the breathing In the same way. While sailing through them It Is found that the ship, sails and rlgglnir are covered with' a fine. Impalpable powder, which falls as dry rain and covers the surface on which it falls sometimes to the depth of two inches. In color it is of a bright, brick-dust hue, somjtlmes of a light yellow, and It feels between the teeth like fine grit, such as might be blown into the mouth' on a windy Jay In Jlarch. No place Is free from Its presence, its fineness giving it power to penerate everywhere. The sea, while the dust Is falling, looks as though It had been peppered, and Is discolored for some distance down. Sometimes the dust comes In a shower and passes off again. Iho fogs are nothing but vast quanti ties ot the dust. susp2nded In the air. It Is not only In the vicinity of Cape de Verde that this wonderful dust Is seen. In tho Mediterranean, on tho northern parts of Africa and in tlie middle of tlie Atlantic it has been re ported. It Is Invariably the sumo In kind nnd appearance, and examination under mlscroscopes lias proved the identity of Capo de Verde sea dust with Mediterranean sea dust.

Sandspouts there are In sandy d serts and showers of sand taken orig inally from spots whereon tlie carrier wind has left lis mark; but here there Is no desert from which tho sand can lie drawn, and th'o wind, so far from blng boisterous or disposed to play whirlwind pranks, is light and steady, blowing ships along at n calm live knots an hour. It is believed by scientific men that the dust clouds of Central America are, in all probabilty, closely connected with the phenomenon of sea dust. Ambassadors' Salaries. Prom Tlt-Illts. . It Is announced that Dr. l.eyds is to re ceive 17,W0 a year as representative of the Transvaal In Kuropc. This salary is greatly in excess of the aniMint which Great 13ritain deems sulllclunt tor uny ono of her representatives in foreign countries. Our most highly-paid ambas sador Is tho Hrlttsh representative In Paris, though he receives little more than half the sum Dr. l.eyds is to draw a beggarly 11,000. Britain's ambassadors to Oermany, Austria-Hungary and Tur key receive 5,000 a year each. Tho rep resentative In St. Petersburg has the next largest salary, JE7.S00; while .CUW less Is considered enough for the llrltlsli ambassador who takes up his residence in the Kternal City. For some reason, known only to tlie diplomatic mind, our representative in Washington Is much worse off, receiving but (1,500 a year, though he has probably to work far harder for his country. The ambassador to Spain receives 5,500, while tho repre sentatives In China and Persia draw 500 each less. Tho heads of tho legations In Japan, llrazll and Egypt eacli receive 1 1,000; but Lord Cromer has beside 1.000 ns a "personal allowance." The llrltish agent at Pretoria, who Is paid by the colonial office, receives only 1!,000 a year. 11 ft 1IC VIII Hord Throat, I'linples, I op.
