Besides tlio opinion In the school
board quo warranto proceedings, which
Is reprinted In another column, tin
Judges handed down a number of Im
portant findings yesterday.
In an elaborate opinion In the case
of Cokely, et nl., against the Sterling
Cycle works, where a new trial was
applied for by1 the defendant, Judge
Archbald discharges the rule. The
plaintiffs are sisters of A. W. Jurlsch
and succeeded him In the ownership
and control of his bicycle and general
pportlng goods store In the Hotel .Ter
inyn building. The defendants endeav
ored to eelze the store, through the
pherlff, contending that the constable's
bale, by which the plaintiffs claimed
title to the stock, was Invalid because
It was not properly published. Speak
ing of the merits of the case Judge
Archbald says:
"The Jury have found that the claims
of Mm, Cokely and her sister were hon
est, and honestly prosecuted against
their brother, as was certainly war
ranted by the evidence, notwithstand
ing the appearance of some things to
the contrary, which were shown. If
there was any fraud In the transac
tion, I am satisfied, as were the Jury,
that It wan not planned or Intended
by these ladles."
The legal question Involved rested
upon the reading of statute defining the
manner of publishing the notice of n
constable's sale: "Notice shall be giv
en by at least three advertisements
put up at the most public places In the
township, ward or district of his resi
dence." .. POSTINO OF HANDBILLS.
The defendant the time lived In the
Thirteenth ward: his store was In the
Eighth ward and constable was from
the Sixteenth ward. Two of the hand
bills were posted In the Eighth ward
and one In the Sixteenth ward. The
Cyclo company contended that the no
tices should have been posted in the
Fighth ward, but at all events they
were not properly posted because in
no one ward were three notices posted,
Court nt the time ruled this out as
Immaterial nnd still holds to that opin
ion and savs:
"It certainly Is the expectation of the
law that Its directions shall be follow
ed and where the execution creditor
cither knows or has reason to believe
that they have not been, he cannot
well complain If a sale held In disre
gard of them Is declared invalid.
A known violation of the law
which is countenanced and acquieficed
in, is nothing more nor less, under such
circumstances, than an Intentional eva
sion of It, which will not be tolerated.
But we'have nothing of that kind here.
There is not a scrap of evidence to
Hhow that the present c.dlmants knew
what had been done or not done to
wards making public the sale of the
Koa yymen iney purchased; nor was
the sale -so unattended by bidders as to
Buggest that it had not been duly ad
vertised. "Wig' , s they stood like any
oth r- , there, with a right to
assume iTA.. the officer had done hl3
duty. For anv omission ni- trfr,,io.-
v,ity In the execution of. the writ not
Known to tnem, tho-constable was an
I cwerable and not thev. nnd ,.-. iD
nothing to be now laid to their charge
in consequence. There being no actual
or legal fraud, therefore in the sale,
't was valid, and conferred upon the
plaintiffs a good title, and the verdict
In their favor must be allowed to
stand."
. THE MARVEL. CASE.
In the case of Mary Marvel, by her
next friend, John Grow, against George
Phillips, Judge Archbald discharged the
rule to set aside the verdict. This Is a
breach of promise case from Olyphant.
George Phillips was engaged to marry
Mary Marvel and went so far as to
Join with her In taking out a marriage
license. He changed his mind, how
ever, and the very next week married
another girl. She sued and secured a
verdict of $500. Ex-Judge Stanton, at
torney for the defendant, refused to go
on with the case when it was called to
trial, alleging that it had been discon
tinued and exhibiting In substantiation
thereof an order of discontinuance
made by the girl.
John F. Murphy, attorney for the
Plaintiff, held that the girl could not
discontinue tl e suit, as It had not been
brought by her hut by her next friend,
John Grow. "An Infant," the Judge
says in his opinion, "when he comes of
age may discontinue an action brought
in his behalf by a next friend, but prior
to that time has no control over It.
It Is of no concern whether the
suit is carried on with the consent of
the infant or without It."
To clear the record the court directed
that the discontinuance ordered by the
Marvel girl be stricken off, and that
the rule to set aside the verdict be dls
charged. CANNOT BE REVOKED.
A decree of adoption once made can
not be revoked. So Judge Archbald de
cided In the matter of the petition of
A. J. Rogan. of this city, to have re
voked the decree by which the peti
tioner adopted Daniel Hagen, Mr. Ro
gan alleged that the boy was incor
rigible; that ho would not stay In his
adopted home, and that he himself
wanted to be relieved from the legal
relations established between him and
the Rogans.
Court says It might le better for
both parties If their relations were sev
ered, but court has no power to effect
this. The statute authorizes court to
decree an adoption but, in terms at
least, it does not authorize us to undo
what wo have thus done.
The ordinary rule aH to the Judg
ments and decrees of court is that they
becorno final and conclusive with the
paBsago of the term at which they are
made. Until that has run, they are
within the control of the court which
made them, but after that they can
not bo Interfered with.
Judge Edwards overruled the excep
tions to the findings of the trial Judgo
Jn the case of the Equity Improvement
company, of Scranton, against the
Equity Improvement company, of Win
chester, Va.r In which Judgment was
rendered for the plaintiff in the sum of
115,382.20, with interest from Sept. 1,
1897. This is a case growing out of the
lato Judge Handley being president of
two companies; sole owner of one and
llve-stxth owner of another, nnd being
appointed by the latter to strike a bar
gain with the former. The latter was
not satlslled with the manner In which
the ex-Judge strurk tho burgaln.
In the case of tho commonwealth
ngalnHt P. J. McLaughlin, the appeal
from tho re-taxation of costs was sus
tained and the re-taxatlon overruled. '
McLaughlin was prosecuted for sell
ing on Sunday and selling to minors,
In the first case he was ncqulttcd and
this costs put on the prosecutrix, Mrs.
Kato Shaw. In the other case the
costs were divided. Some of the wit
nesses for whom coats were taxed up
appeared In both cases and some ap
peared only In one case. McLaughlin
made an objection to the mnnner In
which tho costs were nppartloned nnd
succeeded In securing a re-taxatlon.
Mrs. Shaw appealed from the re-taxatlon
and her appeal Is now sustained.
In his opinion Judge Archbald takes
occaslcjh to remark "As the- evidence
ought to have convicted him beyond a
question he has gotten off contrary to
his deserts."

LICENSE COURT
BEGINS ITS WORK
Seven Hundred Applications Are Before
the Judge.
SOME LIVELY OPPOSITION SHOWN
Attornoys Arthur Dunn nnd W. V.
liiithropo Appenr for n Number of
Henionstrntices--Juat n Question
ns to Whether or Not Iho llrcwory
Combine Cnu Secure License ior
illoro Than Ono I'lnco--Ilnlf the
List Gone Over.
An even t-even hundred applications
for liquor llcent.es, seven less than last
year, stared court in th'u face yester
day when It began Its annual and dis
tasteful "llcen.o" session,
After tho decks had been cleared of
tho customary oienlng day motions
nnd the like, tho judges announced that
they were ready to hear license applica
tions. There were about a hundred at
torneys present when Judge Archbald
gave out to tho "gentlemen of the bar"
that tho custom In vogue in former
jcars could again be followed in going
over th'e list of applicants.
When a name was called the nttorney
representing the application would nn
swer "new" or "old" house as the caso
might be. If it was a "new" house tho
attorney would be required to show
what reasons there were for licensing
a. new house nt that place. If It was
an old" house, it would bo only ne
cessary to announce that fart when
the applicant's name was called, and
court would go on to the next, unless
it happened that there was a remon
strance against It, In which caso, the
attorneys would present their argu
ments brlelly.
About half the llst was thus gone
over befoie adloutning time. This
morning tho Olyphant borough licenses
will be disposed of nnd then will come
those from tho city of Scranton.
WANTS TO HEAR ARGUMENTS.
When tho Pennsylvania Central
Brewing company's application for li
cense for its Caibondalo btewery was
presented by ex-Judge Knapp, court
inised a question as to the legality of
granting a. brewery license to a party
having nn Interest In another brewery
In the tame county. There Is nothing
in the statutes expressly permitting It
and the court was not satisfied but that
by implication the law prohibited It.
Court Intimated that It did not see
nny serious difficulty to the granting
of the licenses, but Mill would like to
hear arguments on these points.
The application? from Dunmore de
veloped a number of conillcts. Fred
Pctzlnger made objection to his sister-in-law,
Mary Petzlnger, alleging that
she was not a citizen, or In other words
that her divorced husband had never
been natuiallzed. He did not appear,
however, to back up his objection. At
torney J. C. Lange, attorney for th'e
applicant, denied the allegation.
James J. Dougherty's application for
a license In the Sixth waid ot Dunmore
was opposed by a numler of remon
strants headed by Attorney Arthur
Dunn. William Skipper, special officer
of the ward, went on tho stand and
In answer to questions by Mr. Dunn,
bald the house for which Dougherty
wants a licence s tenanted by foui
families and .that the said families are
a riotous kind of people, who would,
in Mr. Skipper's opinion, become even
more riotous If there was a drinking
place established in the basement, as
contemplated. This Is the building in
which a baby was shot and killed dur
ing a family brawl last May. Mr.
Scragg, representing the application,
showed that the house was a. three
story structure, admirably suited for
hotel purpose and that Mr. Dougherty
is a reputable man who will conduct
an orderly h'ouse.
NO NECESSITY FOR IT.
Tho samo opponents appeared
against .the application of John Uhase,
of Larch street, contending that there
was no necessity for the place. At
torney John J. Murphy, who appeared
for tho application, said It mlcht be
true that there was no necessity of a
hotel In that locality for th'e "men,
women nnd children" who signed the
remonstrance but for Mr. Uhase's coun
try men who lived there In great num
bers there was necessity.
Michael Manley's application from
the same neighborhood was similarly
opposed. Mr. McGlnley, representing
the application, made the statement
that on th'e sustaining petition ap
peared the names of three men whose
wives had signed the remonstrance.
Mr. Dunn mado the nllesatlon that
Burgess Powell had told him the place
was conduoted ns a speak-easy.
Attorney W. W. Lathrope appeared
In opposition to the application of Max
Heller of "Blazing Stump" at Rlch
mondale. He alleged It w as not neces
sary. Attorney H. C. Butler Is asking for
a license for John Owens, of Fell, said
that court had listened all day long to
applications grounded on reasons to
the effect that' tfiey were to be for
the accommodation ot the Polish, Ital
ian or Hungarian residents of the lo
cality. He would ask for a hotel li
cense for the accommodation of the
American people of the neighborhood.
He then read the list of applicants
from Fell and everyone ot them, ex
cepting Owens, bore a foielgn-aoundlng
name.
Mr. Timlin followed with the appli
cation of Jnmes Muldowney and start
ed In with tho nssertlon "My man Is a
Welshman."
"What, Muldowney a Welshman?"
asked Judge Edwards In surprise.
"That's what he sweait) to, Your
Honor." said Mr. Timlin,
"Well, that Is tho first tlmo I ever
heard of a man named Muldowney be
ing a Welshman," rejoined Judge Ed
wards, at which there was general
laughter.
APPLICATION FROM WIMMEUS.
Mr. Fleltz nnd Mr. Lathrope put up
strong arguments, respectively, for
and against the application of H, C.
Bell, of Wimmers. Mr. Fleltz claimed
that two-thirds of the voting popula
tion of Jefferson township, had signed
the petition, while only forty-flve men
and forty women attached their names
to the remonstrance.
Mr. Lathrope questioned Mr. Fleltz"
assertion that two-thirds of the vot
ing population was In favor of the
license being granted. "That town
gave a majority for Dr. Swallow and
mo last fall and I hardly think so
many of them have gone back on their
convictions In so short a time."
"Well, If you think that all tho peo
ple who voted for Dr. Swallow last
fall were Republicans and go banking
on defeating license applications on
the strength of It, there will be a whole
lot of liquor license applications grant
ed this fall" said Mr. Fleltz, Bell's
license was refused last year.
Tho application of George P. Van
Sickle, of Newton, against which there
was a big remonstrance, was with
drawn by Attorney Horn Just as At
torney Vosburg began to open tho vials
of his wruth against tho petition and
the petitioner.
Court virtually told Attorney John J.
Murphy that It would not giant his
request for a license for Stephen Wlck
Izer's place on tho West mountain,
near tho Wicklzer stone quarries.
There was nb need of it Judge Arch
bald said.
"We hear some talk about that
house," said Judgo Archbald when the
nppllcntlon of Frank C. Wood, of Old
Forge, came up.
When Old Forge had been finished
Judge Archbald remarked: "I wonder
If there Is a house down there that
Isn't licensed or doesn't want a ..
cense." There nro seventy applica
tions from Old Forge.
POLICEMAN IN ROME.
John Hell, who wants to keep a
hotel In Mudtown, piesented ns one of
his recommendations that he was for
merly a policeman In Rome the old
original Rome.
Ex-Judge Stanton mado a telling
plea for Constable Patrick Henry, of
Old Forge, who Is desirous of embarki
Ing in the saloon business. "He wants
to run a model place, Your Honors,"
said Judgo Stanton, "that the other
saloon keepers thereabouts may have
something to pattern after. I will say
for him tlint It you give him a license
he will fulfill the duties to the best of
his ability."
Adjournment was made at 4.30
o'clock.
THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
Tho Woman In lllnrk.
A good nudlence greeted tho first
presentation of "A Woman In Black"
last night at the Academy of Music.
The play Is one containing more In
tricacy of plot than the average In
which the triumph of virtue over vil
lainy Is celebrated, and while certain
features might be omitted without loss
there ate many strong situations and
much that is unhackneyed in the gener
al details. There are the usual naughty
concert hall girl nnd the weak young
man, but there are a few types of the
New York politician which aie most In
teresting, while the street waif has
claims which appeal to all.
The plot consists of the machina
tions of a rich, unscrupulous politician
against nn abnormally moral rival for
congress. "The Woman In Black" In
the pei son of Miss Helen Blythe, de
serted with her child by John Crane,
the rich politician In years gone by
and through the loss of the child In
the streets of New York falls under
the power of Simon Krantzer, a ward
boss, and her ability ns a hypnotist
to exercise to ruin the millionaire's
rival and arrange a marriage between
his wealthy ward and his son. A scene
In the saloon of the ward boss and a
night of political returns In Madison
Square are very effective.
The cor.pany Is uniformly good.
James Lackaye, ns the district boss,
giving perhaps the cleverest delinea
tion in the cast, as ho Is peculiarly
fitted by nature for the role. Miss
Emory Is a fair nnd lovely heroine;
Miss Blythe. Miss Stacey and Miss
Clark, with Miss St. Pierre as the waif,
have deserved claims to the apprecia
tion of the audience. Messrs. O'Brien,
Walker and McVeigh act well In lead
ing roles.
At the Linden.
A grand double bill is the order at
the Linden theater for the first three
days of this week. The curtnln r.ilspr.
a one-act comedy, "Is Marriage a Fail
ure," was given by Miss Allco Kemp
nnd Charlea H. McKlnley In an excel
lent manner. J. F. McCabe nnd Frank
Cailton were favorites. The little skit
"A Bachelor's Troubles" by Bartling
nnd Roblson, Is excruclately funny.
Percy Frutchey, of this city, whom
many have heard of as a trick bicycle
rider, astonished everybody by the
wonderful dexterity with which he
rides his wheel. A description of tho
things he does with a wheel are
hardly to be believed. He kept the au
dience busy applauding him. Percy is
the champion trick bicycle rider of
Pennsylvania.
The bill ends with a delightful four
scene comedy entitled "Uncle Josh's
Troubles," which Is at once very amus
ing and highly pathetic. Mr. McKlnley
was Uncle Josh nnd Miss Kemp, little
Dot. Manager Brooks announces that
he will give one of Blttenbender's
Scranton Special bicycles, '98 model, to
the most popular lady In Scranton.
The ballots are handed to each person
entering tho theated to be deposited In
a box as they leave after Jhey have
written the name of their candidate
thereon. The contest will last two
weeks and the progress of the voting
will be announced from the stage each
evening.
Croston Clnrkr.
When Creston Clarko appears at tho
Lyceum on Friday and Saturday nights It
will be In a now romantic play, "Tho Last
ot His Race," In which Sir, Clarko will
bo assisted by Miss Adclaldo Prlnco and
a company of exceptional strength num
bering twenty. Tho romantic drama, tho
play that appeals to tho emotions, the
play that has for Its foundation that al
most forgotten factor, a riot, Is alter all
tho most enjoyable and elevating diver
sion presented upon tho modern stage.
"Tho LaVt of Ills Raco" Is perhaps ono of
tho best specimens of tho romantic drama
that has been produced within recent
years. In it Mr. Clarko enacts a dual role,
that of n paralytic old prlnco in tho first
act nnd a vigorous manly young artist in
the two succeeding acts.
Curd nl Thank.
Mr. F. D. Staples, of Kressler court,
wishes to thank those who so kind
ly assisted during the sickness and
death of his late wife.
