TROUBLES ARC OVER.
The tioulilos of the Scranton Stiest
Railway company since tho com
mencement of operations for laying
double Hacks on South Main avenue,
between Jurkson and Washburn
stieets, have been numerous and much
like "Banriuo's ghost" will not down.
A new difficulty which arose a few
days ago was amicably ECttled yester
day morning.
General Mannger Sllllman, Cliy En
gineer Phillips and Street Commission
er O'Hoyle met on the ground yester
day morning, and nfter considerable
minoeuvcrlng, a settlement was reach
ed and the street commissioner's edict
prohibiting further finishing touches
became void. The original trouble arose
from the fact that the Street Railway
company were going to put In n stretch
of Belgian block alongside the outer
edge of the rails next the asphalt pave.
They would then 1111 In the open few
Inches with asphalt. No uniformity of
grade would then exist and bislde it
would be unsightly In appearance.
Ptopcrty owners nbuttlng on that part
of the thoroughfare objected and their
objection wns sustained by Street
Commissioner O'Boyle. No Belgian
blocks w 111 be placed. The asphalt w 111
run to the rail's edge, and it will bo
difficult to discern between old and
new asphalt so far as uniform grade
from curb to rail Is concerned.
Unless care Is taken by horsemen,
there will be another complaint as the
tar surface which Is being spread over
the brick pave glazes and becomes)
very slippery despite the dirt thrown
upon it by the company workmen.
C.ire should be exercised In crossing
the tracks until the smooth suiface is
worn by traffic.

hobos who took up there abode there
last week. They no sooner arrived
than the neighbors were made awnro
of the fact. Chickens, ducks, geese,
pigeons, vegetables, and In fact every
thing they could Inythelrhandupon was
missing. Nor was this all. With voices
that would put to shame a saw mill
in full operation they would keep the
people who live In that vicinity awake
half of the night. All of this ended
Thursday afternoon when thev took

Thursday afternoon they entered the

est receptions thej' ever had, for
no sooner had thej' entered the garden
than he let his dog, which Is ono of the
best vvntefi dogs in town, loose und for
tho next few minutes the all was full
of screeches and pleas for mercj'. The
dog had nailed his man and was chew
ing him In a terrible manner. The
ow ner of the dog called htm away nnd
proceeded to assist the injured man.
Ono of the gang thought they had bet
ter have a doctor and he started oft
after one. The injured man asked for
a drink of water and in order to oblige
him the owner of the dog went as far
as a neighbor's In order to get him a
ei'ng i f cool well wter. I'pon his ic
turn the tramps had departed to the
regret and chagrin of the man they
had tried to despoil.

ONLY A COUNTRY LAWYER
But Just the Same He Wiped Up
the Floor with the Best Legal Tal
ent That Critical Boston Could
Boast.
W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
A Jealous New Yorker and the peo
ple ot that city are the most narrow
minded and Jealous of any I have ever
known except those of Boston and a
few towns In New Hampshire suld at
the Union League club the other night
with a slight sneer, that the piesldent
was Intrusting negotiation of the peace
treaty to "a lot of countrj' law j lis,"
meaning Secretarj Daj, Senator Da
vis, Senator Frje and Asoclate Jus
tice White, ot the Supreme couit.
It reminded me of a story which
Senator Falrbanka, of Indiana, Is fond
ot telling about an Invasion of the
Boston courts by a countrj' lawyer two
or three jears ago. A big litigation
was on, Involving the control of an
Ohio rallwaj, and seven or eight legal
luminaries of the largest magnitude
from Boston were present to repre
sent the bondholders and .the "reor
ganlzers." The local stockholders
and the management of the road, who
were fighting for their own presenta
tion, weie lepresented by an unassum
ing attorney from a small town In
Ohio, who appeared In delicate health
and was an entice stranger In Bo
ton. As he came Into court he mod
estly took a back heat 'without any
other demonstration than a polite bow
to the Judge nnd a pleaeant "good
morning" to his formidable army of op
ponents. During the morning proceed
ings he did not open his lips and show
ed no particular interest, and when
the Boston lavvjers went to lunch at
Young's hotel during the noon hour
they were chuckling to themselves
about the easy manner In which they
were going to dispose of what they
feared might be a verj tedious and
troublesome litigation. Senator Fair
banks was present as a spectator, to
watch the collateral Interest of the
Vandalia line, of which he was gen
et al solicitor, and was looked upon
as a neutral party. So they Invited
him to lunch with them, and he heaid
their humorous alludlons to the coun
try lawjer who Viad appeared to rep
resent the other side.
"Gentleman," said the senator af
ter a while, "I have had a good deal
of oxperlente with country lawyeis
and have learned not to despise them.
Your conduct In this case Is, of com so,
not 111 affair, but I advise jou to be
on your guaul, for If that country
lawjer over there In the corner of
the couitroom vvnkee up he Is llkelj to
give jou trouble. I kept my eye en
him this morning and I have come to
the conclusion that he knows his busi
ness "
The ornaments of the New England
bar laughed In deilsion, and when the
court adjourned that afternoon thej'
taunted Senator Fairbanks with his
warning, for the count! y lawjei had
not opened his lips during the day
And ho the case went on, the Boston
attorneys occupjlng all the time, sub
mitting motions, suggestions and plans
for the consideration of the court vvhiih
were entirely In the Interest of their
clients, and having everj thing their
own waj'. About tho fourth day, huw
ever, after the "reorganize! s" had dis
closed their whole Mcliemo and commit
ted themselves to a line of proceduie
which left the legitimate owners of
the road In the cold, the countiy law
yer came forward and modestly Intoi
posed a few objections in the Intel est
of his clients. The Boston crowd at
tempted to throw him down with n
rush, but he quietly plunged his wpear
Into the weak spots of the armor of
every one of them and drew blood at
every thiust, Bpfore the day was
over, he had them all thoroughly de
moralised and quairellng umong
themselves, while he submitted a few
motions to the court, which were Im
mediately sustained. The result, as
Senator Fairbanks tells It, was that
when the case was concluded the coun
tiy lawyer walked off with the whole
thing, leaving tho lights of the Boston
bat In a. seinl-comatose condition und
wondering what had happened to
them. The senator says It wan at
keen and complete a case of legal
strategy us he has ever known In his
long practice at the bar, and that
tho country lawjer was William R.
Daj, of Canton, O., now secretaiy of
state und a member of the peacM com
mission. Strategy.
