BIG CONVENTION
COMES TO SCRANTON
DELEGATION THAT OBTAINED
IT HAS RETURNED HOME.
It Will Open Hero on Labor Day,
180D, with n Parndo That Will Bo
Attended by Postmen of New
York, Now Jersey and Pennsyl
vaniaConvention Will Be At
tended by About Seven Hundred
Delegates John H. Phillips' Re
ntal ks In Naming Scrnnton.
John 11 Phillips, L I). Jones, M.
O'Malley and Joseph ridlutn, the mnll
inrilcra who so successfully nt To
ledo, O , conducted Scrnnton's cam
paign fot tho next convention of the
National Loiter Carriers' association,
returned home catly yesterday, tired
and exhausted, but happy. It wus no
rnsy task they had on their hands tit
Toledo, but that made the victory all
tho more satisfactory.
Scranton had its boom well launched
long before the convention, nnd had
many pledges of support. When our
humble delegation of four men nnlved
at Toledo thej found Haltlmorc with
twenty men on the ground actively
uiglng the claims of the Monumental
City, Dcttolt, Mich, and Chattanooga,
Term., alto had large forces ut woik
In their intctests. Detroit had a now
houvenlr for each day of the conven
tion for tho put pose of keeping the
name of that city before tho delegates.
The Sctanton boomeis at once opened
headquarters in the St. Charles hotel,
and went to work with a will to land
tho convention fot the Electric City.
On account of the woik done In ad
vance Scranton was in a position when
the convention opened to lend the other
claimants, but it would have been easv
to destroj her chances If tact and
watchfulness hnd not been emplocd
by the lesouiceful Scrantonians.
DETROIT WITHDREW.
One of tho things they did was to
Induce Dettolt to get out of tho Held
and throw Its suppoit to Scranton.
This done, the Seiantonlan.s succeed
ed In getting on the slate that was
going to win and then victory was
assured. Tho name of Scianton was
ptesented to the convention by John
II. Phillips In the following language.
Mi President and 1'ellow Citizens. It
Is needless for mo to Infoim jou that In
Scranton we btlll ndhero to tho old adago

whether It be mourning 01 gajetj for the

Scranton, tho mcttopolls of the anthra

COURT BEGINS ITS
FALL SESSIONS
WAS A VERY BUSY DAY IN THE
MAIN COURT ROOM.
Opinions nnd Ordeis Handed Down,
Motions Heard, Grand Jury
Charged, Constables' Returns Re
ceived and Equity Court Opened.
Interesting Coal Suit Between the
West Ridge Coal Company and C.
S. Von Storch Decisions in Va-
lious Cases Passed Upon.
Court room No. 1 was 11 very busy
place yesterday morning on the re
sumption of the regular sessions after
the protracted summer vacation. First
of nil came the handing down of vai
lous opinions nnd orders by the Judges,
then the heuring of motions, titter that
tho charging of the grand Juty nnd
reception of constables' returns by
Judge Atchbild nnd llnally tho open
ing of a week of equity court.
Most Important of the opinions hand
ed down was one by Judge Gunster,
adjudicating' a dispute over a tax
clause In n co.il lease. The parties
wore the Delaware and Hudson Canal
rompany plaintiff, and William Von
Storch defendant.
The plaintiff leases 121 acres of North
End coal lands fiom tho defendant.
A thousand-dollar assessment for tho
Meylert avenue sewer was laid ngalnst
the pioporty. Tho defendants refused
to pay It, claiming that tho lessees
should assume the debt. The company
paid tho assessment made protest and
brought suit to lecovcr.
Tho case hinged on the moaning of
the wotd "teprises." The tax clnuso
of the lease rends that the lessee shall
pay the rents "over nnd above all tajes
and reprises." According to tho dic
tionaries "icprlses" aio rout chaigo,
lent sock, pensions, annuities nnd tho
like. A sewer assessment, "at the first
blush," Judge Gunster holds. Isn't any
of these, but it possesses In common
with them the element of something
which is to be paid, nnd by a logical
line of deduction it can be accepted
that a sower assessment is of the fam
ily "reprises," nnd the plaintiffs, there
fore In the opinion of his honor, should
pay the assessment
RULE DISCHARGED.
In tho case of J. C. Heiber K. Co.
against M. G. Neary, a rule to dis
solve an attachment, Judge Gunster
tendered a decision discharging the
rule. Neary was a trustee of tho es
tate of John J. McCaithy's father. He
owed the estate about $700 and gave
a judgment note for $1,500 to Insure
this debt and the ptopor administra
tion of the other funds that came into
his hands. He administered the estate
ptoperly but could not pay the $700
debt, and after 11 time the holder of
the note, the piesent plaintiff sued
upon it and sold out the defendant's
property A tulc was brought to dis
solve the attachment but cotttt re
fuses to Interfere
In the case of George Atherton
ngalnst W. McHnle nnd the rao of
Mnrv E. Lord against John P'okerinc;
tho 1 ule for a new trial was dlschaiged.
Tho Atherton-Mcllale case Is the one
In which one Juryman vas taken pick
nnd another became Incapacitated
through diupkenness, rendering It nec
ebsarv to accept the verdict of ten men.
Judge Archbald dissolved the attach
ment In the case of E. Robinson's Sons
against Jamps Gray.
In tho case of the commonwealth
against Anthony Pasco, the rule to re
mit forfeiture was made nbso'ute by
Judge Archbald on condition that the
dtfendant or his bail pay n, certain
portion of the cost".
A divorce was granted by Judge
