The ndjourned session of United States court opened yesterday morn ing at 10 o'clock In the Federal court room, with Judge Joseph Uufllngton on the bench. Judge Acheson, of the States Circuit court, It was an ted, would not be able to be pres- rand In consequence thu civil cases uld have to wait until Judge Uuff- ington had disposed of the business of district court. There was a large attendance of spectators as a result of the supposi tion that Miss Anna E. Dickinson would appear to prosecute her damage suit against James Oglesby, one of the parties charged with having her Illegal ly Incarcerated In Danville asylum. This Increased attendance of spec tators, coupled with the fact that both courts were wOlng busines in the one room, crowded the rather contracted quarters all day long. Much to the disappointment of the majority of tho spectators, and par ticularly the large sprinkling of wo men In the audience, the Dickinson case did not come up and Its principal feature was not In evidence. Ex-Judge Jessup, representing Attorney Hodge, Miss Dickinson's New York lawyer, n&ked for a postponement on the ground that Mr. Hodge could not pos sibly attend, and when Attorney James f-car!etr of Danville, representing tho defendant, acquiesced In the motion, Judge Bufllngton allowed tho continu ance. CONTINUANCE ASKED. There was a motion also offered by ex-Judge Jessup to continue the case of the Traders' National bank of Scranton against the Fidelity and Casu alty company of New York, but It was ho warmly contested by Major Everett Warren, representing the plaintiff, that Judge Bufllngton declined to act In tho matter summarily. He advised that the counsel make an effort to agree to one thing or the other and told them If they could not amicably settle it he would then make a decision. No set tlement had been reached up to ad journing time. The case was brought to recover $S0, 000 on tho bond of cx-Cashler A. B. Williams. Tho defense Is that the bank permitted the Fidelity nnd Casualty company to renew its surety after the , cashier's defalcations had been discov ered. kThe reason for asking a continuance, advanced by ex-Judge Jessup, was kt one of the principal witnesses for kdefense, Joseph Jermyn, Is at pies- a pleasure trip In Europe. r Warren pointed out that Mr. was a director of the bank and lw ledge of the case was ground- tils position- as director- TJiera were other directors of the bank who were avniiapie ana wno couiu answer the purpAse as well as Mr. Jermyn. E-Jude Jessup In answer to this said he Knew what Mr. Jermyn would testify to, but did not care to rely upon what some pther director might pos sibly know or testify to. Watson & Zimmerman, attorneys for the defense, moved for a continuance of tho case of Mrs. Mlnwell Dolph against the National Accident society of New York, alleging that the absence of Dr. N. Y. Leet, a material witness In the case, who is-in. New York on prafpgjopp.1 business, would greatly tuicap mem it iney were rorcea to lul. Attorney Charles I,. Hawley, for the plaintiff, argued against the mo tion, contending that Dr. Leet could be back before the court sessions would be over and that the case could then be called up. Judge Bufllngton marked the case for trial, but Indicated that he would" not Impose any hardship on the parties. , ' TdRS.

McClure, of Lewlsburc, wan made foreman. TUUE BILLS nEPOBTED. At Intervals during the day the grand Jury returned true bills against tho fol lowing; Simon Hoyls, of Venango coun ty, counterfeiting; William and James Forrester, of Foirest county, coun terfeiting; Alex. J. Stroff, Lackawanna county, using tho malls for lottery business; James acstllesco and O. W. Brewer, selling liquor without paying the required special tax; Anthony Duck nnd John Noacl:, of Lackawanna county, altering a United States treas ury note. Among the fifteen cases appearing on the trial list are three against A. G. TIlllnghaBt, of this city, charged with pension frauds, and two against Lysle Button, of Nicholson, accused of counterfeiting. The first case called for trial was that of the United States against James and William Forrester, of For rest county, rharged with mak ing, possessing and rasslng coun terfeit money. Gustavo Hahn was assigned by Judge Bufllngton to de fend them. It appears from the stories told on the witness stand that one of the Forrester boys met a man In But ler who showed him how to make coun terfeit coins for $15, furnishing them with some of the necessary metal, moulds, acids and the like. James Forrester w cnt Into the bakery shop of Mrs. Minnie McAvoy, In Kane, and bujing five cents' worth of cakes, tendeied a silver dollar In payment and Shortly afterwnrds the other "brother, William, worked off another dollar on Mrs. McAvoy, receiving five cents' worth of cakes and ninety-five cents therefor. The character of the coins was discovered shortly afterwards nnd James Forrester was placed under ar rest. FOBBESTEB CONFESSED. Chief of Police S. L. Byam nnd Policeman Oscar Quanstrom took him into custody. He confessed to them and told that one Ned Barnhart, of Butler, had made the coins. James es caped from Jail, but soon afterwards was recaptured at Costello. In the In terim the other brother, William, had been arrested and also made a con fession, saying, however, that he mado the money. At tho hearing In Warren county beforo the United States com missioner all three brothers confessed themselves guilty of making, possess ing and passing counterfeit money. The grand Jury ignored the bill against the youngest brother. Mr. Hahn asked his clients quietly what they had In tho way of defense. One said: "I passed It but I didn't make It." The other said: "I made It but I didn't pass It." Mr. Hahn an nounced that he would rest. The Jury was out about five minutes In deter mining the defendants' guilt In all three charges. The case was worked up by Secret Seivice Agent Griffin, of Pittsburg. The next case was from Tioga county and was likewise a countei felting case. Ellas Short was the defendant. He was defended by ex-Assistant United States District Attorney David Cam eron, of Wellsboro, Tioga county. Last year a young farmer from Os ceola, Edward Gleason, rijead guilty of passing three EO-cent counterfeit pieces. He told that he received them from Short, giving him a good half-dollar and a pint of whiskey for the $1.50' In spurious coin. Secret Service Agent Grlflln got after Short and found him living at James Baker's house In Potter Brook, Tioga county. The visit of the government officer disclosed a wholesale counterfeiting scheme at Osceola, Baker was discov ered to be a manufacturer on a largo scale. He had a mill in tho kitchen of his house and kept it running night and day making dollars, half-dollars and quarters. Short assisted him In the manufacturing process and also did the distributing. THE CHIEF WITNFSS. The chief witness against Short was Baker's wife. She described tho whole plan and process of making and dis tributing the counterfeits, nnd how she and her little boy were forced to keep watch at the windows for the approach of strangers. Short, she said, had poor eyesight and could only be utilized In "cutting off the necks" of the coins after they were taken from the moulds. The Jury found Short guilty of hav ing counterfeit coins In his possession and acquitted him of the other counts. An equity suit was Instituted yes teiday morning by Vosburg & Dawson, representing Doud & Miller, trustees, to secure an assignment of letters pat ent held by the Bonta Plate Glass com pany. The plaintiffs have a $2,000 Judg ment against the company. The only assets of the company, now available, are the patent rights to the Bonta In ventions for making plate glass. These can only be taken in execution through an equity pioceedlng in United States couit. Ex-Judgo Stanton, representing George Wlnans, a Bonta company stockholder, asked leave to Intervene and make answer to the suit. Judge Bufllngton took the papers. Attorney A. J.

BIG VICTORY FOR THE CONSTABLES They Will Oct Fitly Cents for Ench Name on a Subpoena. DECISION OP SUPERIOR COURT It Affirms That of Jndgo F. W. (J mi ster Handed Down Some Time Ago. Brief ot tho Argument That Hoi Jllndo lir tho Attornavg far the lMnluliir lloloro tho Appollnte Conrt--An Appeal Mill Not Uo Taken. Many hundreds of dollars will bo thrown into tho pockets of the consta bles of tho state by tho decision ot the superior court In the case of Hlchaid Barron against tho county of Lacka wanna. Tho opinion was handed down nt Ilarrisburg Monday nnd afllrms the derision of Judge F. W. Gunster, of this county who held that n constable bv the provisions of tho act of 1S93, Is entitled to receive fifty cents for serv ing a subpoena on every person whoso name appears upon it. It was held by tho commissioners of thlf county that the constable could only receive a fee of fifty cents for serving the paper on all those named In it. This Interpretation of tho act led to a conflict between the commissioner and the constables and tho organiza tion formed by tho latter determined to test tho matter. Constable Kichard B?iron, of Dickson City, was named as plaintiff In the test case and tho county of Lackawanna was defendant. Attor ney Tred W. Fleltz nnd J. W. Car penter, representing the plalntllf, and County Solicitor II. A. Knapp agreed upon a statement of facts with lefer ence to the case and it was presented to Judge Gunster In the form of a case stated. JUDGE GUNSTER'S DECISION. As set forth above he decided that a constable is entitled to a fee of fifty ennts for every name that appears on the subpoena. An appeal wns taken to the superior court by the county and In arguing tho case Attorneys Fleltz nnd Carpenter said in their brief: Section 2 of tho act of May 23, 1SU pro vides "That from and after the pass,agi of this act tho fees to bo received by constables In this commonwealth sh til bo as follows: Foi executing warrant on behalf of the commonwealth one dollar; for serving subpoom, fifty cents " Attention ,1s cilUd to tho change in the phnseology of the act when It comes to ticit of a subpoena. To execute, na de fined bv Webster, means to follow out or through to tho end, put into nbsoluto nnd final effect, to finish; while servleo Is defined as the communication of pro cess to a party or witness, bo us to sub lect him to Us operation. It follows, therefore, that writ Is executed onlj when all Its mandates aro canled out; but 't Is served as often ns It is communicated to a person named therein. For executing a warrant, which most frequently Is to apprehend but one per son, tl)e feo Is one dollar; while for serv ing a subpoena, which sually contains the names of several persons, it Is fltty cents. If tho officer serves tho subpoena every time ho communicates Its contents to a witness, it follows that for each time he does this ho is entitled to a feo of fifty cents. In Murphy vs. Fajetto county, 10 C. C. Hep 89, this act was ratted upon in an opinion by Evvlng, P. J , to which we wish to refer as 4t Is founded upon reasoning which wo reirnrd ns unanswerable. Tho mUtako of many of tho Judges who havo passed upon this act Is In supposing that It requires a strict construction. While statutes imposing costs nre to be strictly construed, statutes fixing fees of officers aro not. SETTLES THE QUESTION. An appeal to the supreme court from this decision can be taken but Solicit or Knapp frfild yesterday that he thought such a step would not be taken. Many of the constables have not ac cepted fees from the county commis sioners for some time past. They w Pre waiting for this decision that they might be entitled to the larger fees in case a decision was given in their fa vor. In a Lancaster county case decided Monday by tho superior court holds that a constable can only collect mile age one way when seivlng a wairant. The rate per mile Is ten cents. THEY WANT TO BE RECOMPENSED. Threo Persons Who Sny Thoy wore Illegally Dispossessed. Jacob Butterman, Miss Kate Butter man and Tred Male began an action In tresspass yesterday against John S. Bortree and ex-Sheriff F. H. Clemmons to recover damages for an alleged Ille gal dispossession fiom property In Dunmore. Albert Butterman, bi other and uncle tespectlvely of the plaintiffs gave a Judgment note to John S Bortree on which nn execution was issued and a property in Dunmore, which It was al leged was owned by Butteiman was sold by the sheriff and purchased by Bortree, the execution creditor. Butterman refused to give up posses sion and tho usual proceedings In such cases were had befoie Alderman Wilght after which the sheiiff dispos sessed all thohe he found on the prem ises. It is claimed by the plaintiffs In the present suit that each of them is owner of an undivided one-fourth In terest in the property from which they were ejected and they want to be ie compensed for the damages done them. They are lepresented by Attorney T. J. Duggan and C. B. Gardner. OPPOSED THE CONSTABLE. Mink Hod Trouble lu .Sorrlug n Scnrt'h Mnrrnnt in Onlifbrd Court. The attempt of Constable Frederick Mink of Alderman Wright's couit to seive a search warrant Monday night at tho house kept by Mis. Coburn, In Oakfotd coutt, resulted in quite a scrimmage. The warrant was issued at the in stance of John C. King to aid him In locating a bedroom suite. When Mink started to search tho house he was op posed by John Glglo and William Schultz. Mink cut Schultz's scalp open with a club. The latter escaped from tho house but was tuught by Speclul Olflcei Eglo and committed to Jail by Alderman Wilght. Olglo was ulso arraigned before tho alderman but settled the charge against him. Tho bedroom suite was found, but was not seized. ORPH m iViS,.?".1!!!; iBf. .?.MkY perfect home CURE IN THE WORLD.

The Intent of the Inquiry Is to get all the essential, economic facts relating to tho construction and uso of electric light and power or gas light ing plants and water works, whether owned by Individuals, corporations or municipalities. The work of gathering this information is being done by agents of the department of labor at Washington, and a letter from Com missioner Carroll D. Wright to each of the companies from which Informa tion Is sought states that tho facts, when published, will not disclose tho identity of any establishment nor fur rlsh any cluo by which such Identity could be dt'termlned. Every plant in tho United States is to be visited. Special agents are now at work in this state. A M. Dewey, of Warhlngton, is wult lng upon the officers of such corpora tions In this count. Mr Dewey will bo remembered by many as the editor of the Journal of United Labor. Ho is an uncle of N H. Brooks, mtnager of the Linden, and Is Mr. Brooks' guest during his stay In this region. The excellent record of tho Thir teenth regiment In rllle and pistol prac tice for the past season, in which they again led the regiments of Pennsyl vania National Guard in, both of these arts, has been due to a number of causes. One of the chief of these has been the interest and encouragement received from the generous citizens, who presented to the victorious teams In the Citizens' matches some of the finest trophies nnd medals that have ever been won by our regiment. Companv A as winner of the first prize, in the contest last season, re cently received from Tiffany & Co., of New Yoi k, the finest bust of Washing ton that has ever been seen In our city. The bust Is life-size, of bronze, after a model by Houdon, of Paris. It is handsomely mounted on a revolving pedestal of serpentlno marble, which beais an appropriately engraved plate. With this trophy the members of the winning team ench year receive medals of solid gold of a design which Is both unique and artistic and unlike any decoration ever before won by our ex pert shots. Tho second prize, which was last year won by Company G, of Montrose, Is a beautiful engraving, representing a celebrated cavalry charge In the War of the Rebellion. The picture is richly framed in dark oak and also bears an Inscilptlon with the names and scores of the teams who win this distinction. Such valuable and appropriate tiophies which are open for competition each season, to all the (companles of the legiment, until finally won threo times, must continue to piove of great ser vice in the depaittr.ent of rifle practice. The gentlemen who have so generously assisted the legiment In this matter aie: Colonel L. A. Watres, George L. Dickson, William Connell, E. B. Sturges, Colonel H. M. Boles, F. S. Godfrey, Henry Belln, agent, Dupont Powder company; E. L. Fuller, George B. Smith, W. II. Taylor, Major Everett Wairen and William T. Smith. Telephone girls with all their care sometimes make blunders, or nt least somebody errs at the other end of the line Of couise the paity of tho first part never makes a mistake In calling numbers. The other day a woman tang the telephone hunledly, repeated the desired number, received the call and promptly gave her order: "I want some cold meat. Send It up at once " "Gient Scott," veiled a voice, "who do jou think you've got?" "Why, Can's meat market!" an swered tho woman Impatiently. "Well, you haven't," was the reply. "This Is the undertaker's" "Dear me," shouted the woman In hoiror, "don't send up that cold meat. I don't want your kind. Then she hurriedly called tho ex change, secured the right people and lepeated her order. But somehow that noon when the said cold meat came on the tuble she didn't eat a moisel of It.

The subject discussed at the meet ing of the Scranton Open Confess Inst evening wns "Socialism" and it was lntioduced by Dr. Szlupas In nn ex cellent leoture. The hall was well filled with an Intelligent audience. A number of members of the board of trade wore present and showed great intciest In the proceeding. The lpcture was replete with statis tics showing the Inci casing concentra tion of the wealth of our country Into the hands of a few, to the detilmont of the general wellare, resulting In a decline of manhood through the equal ly decroaMrg opportunities for men to 1)0 Independent or to become well to do by means of honest tolL The dlf-cusslon was slow at first, but became &o much the livelier to ward the close. Mr. Richardson up held the rich men for furnlshlnc: em plojment to the poor, but thought that the politicians weie to blame for all our troubles. Mr. James denied the truth of the lecturer's formidable sta tistics and declared that they were not worth the paper they aie printed on. Later on ho declaied that men like William Connell did not make more than one-tenth of one cent per day on the many men emploved, but that the small employers of labor must make large profits on each man em ployed to bo able to live. Captain Molr called attention to tho history of the world which, he said, shows that substantially the same con ditions have always prevailed. He re ferred to Joseph's corner in grain in ncrypt and compared it to the piesont operations In Chicago. He also point ed out that there are certain differ ences of conditions between now and then which make it necessary for us all to be socialists now so as to lm proe our government. In closing Dr. Sslupas laid special stress on the fact th'at there can be no political liberty whera there Is econ omic oppression. WASHINGTON.
