THOSE BOGUS OKDERS.
Likely That More of Them Will Be
Unearthed.
Another hearinc In the r.nf.imi,am.
Indebtedness matter will be conducted
by the marshal, Hon. John P. Qulnnan,
at his ofllce in the Mears building, this
morning. A hearch is being made for
more of the bogus orders and It Is not
unlikely that some of them will be
shown up at today's heating.
One large batch of oiders that are
regarded with suspicion are held by n
prominent Scranton broker. Ho re
fuses either to present the orders or
the Judgments obtained thereon, not
because he has any ferns on the score
of their validity, but because lie does
not admit that the commissioner can
go behind the Judgments, that being a
matter which must bo dealt with in
common picas court.
No arrest has yet been made in con
nection with the forged order disclosed
at Thursday's hearing. The wan ant,
howecr, Is out, according to Super
visor Toole, and will be served upon
the return of Gallagher to Minooka.

DAY'S DOINGS IN
THE COURT HOUSE
A LAW THAT WOULD BE BOTH
ERSOME IF INSISTED UPON.
Steam Road Roller Must Stop Every
Time a Horso Vehicle Approaches
Within 300 Feet of It Sisters Dis
pute Over Frovldence Pioporty.
Tried to Stay a Sale Value of Ex
pert Testimony Forcibly Illustrat
ed Appeal from City Assessment
Heard.
An act passed in 1R53 nnd seldom If
ever bcfoie Invoked in this county wad
used ns tho ba-?o for nn action brought
against tho city of Scranton yestcr
d ty by C. IT. Scars, of drccn Hldge.
This net dliects that vehicles pio
pellpd by 'team on a public highway
Khali stop nnd withdraw to one sldo of
the road when a hoi so vehicle ap
proaches within a dlstunce of 300 feet,
nnd that tho person In charge of the
stenm vehicle shall render assistance
In guiding the horse ehlrlc safely past
tho tteam-propclled machine. Tho su
preme court, In U0 Ta. S. L., decreed
that a steam tond roller came within
the class of vehicles to which tho act
applies. On June 17, last, Mr. Sears
nnd his young son while driving along
West Mniket street, encountered tho
city road-roller. It continued In oper
ation all the time they were approach
ing and frightened their horse causing
him to run nway. A heap of Btonus
that the city Is alleged to have negli
gently left In the road caused the enr
ilage to oeitum, throwing the occu
pants out nnd Injuring them severely.
Damages are demanded In the sum of
Jf.,000 Attorney C. V. Olvcr represents
the plaintiff.
I1QU1TY SUIT.
Mrs. Margaret Wnrrell and Anna
McKay instituted equity proceedings
against their sister, Mts. Jennie C.
Blacklcdge to secure a partition of a
Providence propertj, of which tho
plaintiffs own a quarter Interest each,
and, the defendant, n half. The prop
erty consists of an Improved 50x150 lot
on Thompson street nnrt another, un
improved 100x150 feet in dimensions.
It. A. Zlmmeiman represents tho plain
tiffs. The declaration In tho trespass case
of Louis Freedman against Max Ito
scnbluth, of Old Forge, was filed by
Attorneys Martin & Vldaver. Dam
ages in tho sum of $",000 nie asked for
Injuries sustained through a beating
which Froodman leeched at the de
fondant's hands, Juno 10, last.
An effort w as made esterday morn
ing, by M. O Webster, through Jessup
& Jes.sup, tn stay n salo of La Plume,
land advertised to be disposed by tho
sheriff yesteiday. The application was
for a writ of audita querntn, a pio
ceedlng occasionally appealed to as a
final result nnd or,o which Is based on
allegations that something niw has
entered into the care since tho ptevious
adjudication. Judge Archbald icfused
to grant the writ but allowed nn ex
ception to his tilling. The propeity
was sold later by the sheriff for $3,600
Mr. Webster purchased tho land in
question for $9,000. paying $5,000 down
nnd giving judgment notes for tho bal
ance. When the notes became duo ho
sought to stay their execution on the
ground that the holdcis, tho belts of
Nathan K. Chabc, had failed In nn
ast cement to furnish him with a clear
titlo of tho property.
ALLL'GED FLAW IN TITLH.
Tns flaw In the title was thnt George
Clmer had at one time, many years
ago, held a halt Interest In the prop
erty and that while he had relinquished
possession or It he had never made a
formal transfer of his Interest. Court
in passing upon this, decided that Mr.
Webster could not hold the land and
hae payment delayed on the notes
at the same time and diMnlsred his
petition.
The value of expert testimony Is be
ing forcibly Illustrated in tho West
Itldge coal case now on before Judge
Archbald. For thiee days and a half
expei t miners, engineers, operators
nnd the like gave testimony for tho
plaintiff to show that tho company had
woiked tho mine in a pioper, diligent
nnd energetic manner. Thursday af
ternoon and all of yesterday other and
equally reliable expetts gave It as
their positive opinion that the mine
was not worked properly, diligently
and energetically. Mine Inspector
Henry O. Piytheich, Mine Toreman
Flnl'jy Ross Mine Foreman Alexander
Alkman, William lUchmond, Jnmes II.
Hughes and C. C. Hose were yester
day's witnesses for tho defense.
The case will probably bo ready for
argument at noon today.
Judge Gunstf r heard the appeal from
the city tax assessment taken by the
Falrvlew Land company. Air Rurns
oigued for tho plaintiff nnd City So
lleltor McGlnley defended tho assess
ment. Last year tho Land company's tract
In the Fifteenth ward was assessed for
$18 000. This year with twelve lots cut
out of it and no impiovements added.
It Is assessed for $52,000. This alleged
unwarranted Increase In the ase.ss
ment and the fact that the city valua
tion had only been Increased from
$20,000,000 to $22,000 000, or ten per cent.,
was sufficient, Mr. Hums would have
the court bsllef, to w at rant a deciease
in the assessment.
TOOK COMPANY'S FIGURUS.
nty Solicitor McGinley said that tho
nssetsor had taken the company's own
llgurts on the value of tho land. He
wnltcd on one of Its membcis and
without disclosing that he was an as
sessor Inquired the price of lots on the
tract. Ftom tho figures given In ie
sponse to these queries he made up hU
assessment.
Mr. Hums said that the assessor
had Inquired only about a few of tho
desirable lots fronting on Main stieet
nnd tho prices given on those would
not be fair basis on which to compute
thu general or average value of tho
lots. The three other cases pending
will bo heard this morning.
Final arguments wore heard during
tho afternoon In the Smlth-Cuslck
trespass suit, before Arbitiators Tlnk
1 um, Duffy and Mnnnlng. Hon. John
P. Kelly reviewed the case for the do
fenso and Attornev A. A. Vosburg for
tho Plaintiff. The arbitrators have not
up yet made a finding.
The report of John M. Harris, John
u. Reynolds and Joseph Mucus, view
ers of tho new sewer on Scranton street
and adjacent cross streets in tho Fifth
ward, was approved finally by court.
The total cost of tho sewer will It is
Cbtlmated be $11,230. Of this amount
tho property holders nro to pay $10,
520.20 and tho city $672.80. Tho cost of
tho sewer averages about $2 a foot

SMOKER OF PAINTERS.
Members of Union No. 118 Enter
tained No. 218 In Their Rooms.
Highly Entertaining Pro
gramme Rendered.
Painters' union, No. IIS, entertained
No. 21t at a smoker In A. O. U. W. hall
Thumlay evening nnd did the treating
because Jo. 21S won the ball game on
Labor day. A. Longcorc made an ad
dicts on behalf of No. 21S, and was nn
sweied by P. I'. Holton for No. 118,
who pieslded. The great usefulness of
the30 Jolly sniokeis was pointed out.
They cieated a close personal ac
quaintance nnd friendship among tho
members. Refreshments were plenti
ful and well served.
"The Fisherman's Child" was sung
by Kd. Burcher, of No. 21!. It was
given with much feeling nnd received
bcni ty applause. "Whv Don't They
Do It Now?' was sung by Geoige
Smallrldge, of 118, nnd provoked great
mirth. "Kneel Down Besides Your
Mother's Grave and Pray," was rcn
deicd with true pathos by A. Long
core, who received well earned ap
plause. An Imitation of a steam calliope by
William Kelfer, whs bhort but good.
It was followed by an Imitation of a
crying baby; All hands then Joined In
sinning "The Star Spangled Benner"
and "America." Richard Farrell gave
a speech by O'Connell. predicting tho
freedom of Ireland, it was well ren
dered and received.
The high regard lor the pres of this
city by these unions was shown when
A. Langerfeld called as a visitor. Ho
tiled to keep in the rear, but was
hauled up to tho chairman and "press
ed" into service.
The hall being overcrowded by this
time the large front hall was also
orened. Here songs were given by P
H. Caw ley, of 118; J D. Parker and
D Lloyd, who yodeled In German.
George V. Osman, of 118, made an nd
diess and pointed out that the actions
of ihose two unions during the last
six months have taught valuable les
ions. Ry tho aid of tho Building
Tiades countll, tho eight hour woik
day and unionizing of all the shops in
this city can and will be effected next
car. The public Is beginning to learn
that the unions are tho only guarantee
for future steadiness In business, be
cause with nothing to stop the lower
ing of wages the great mass of wags
workeis would become poorer and
poorer and, of course, buy less and less
in proportion. Hence the business men
benefit or lose as the unions win or
lose In their struggle for bettering the
condition of the workers and through
them tho general welfare.

WANAMAKER PASSED
THROUGH THIS CITY
EN nOUTE TO HONESDALE,
WHERE HE MADE A SPEECH.
Says Ho Is Not a Candidate nnd the
Only Interest Ho Has in This Cam
paign Is ns a Citizen Who Has
Something to Say to His Neigh
bors About a Matter of Interest.
Expects to Smash tho Quay Mn
chlno Beyond Repair.
Hon. John Wanamaker, of Philadel
phia, passed thiough the city lato yes
terday afternoon. He was en route to
Honesdnlc, where he addressed a polit
ical gathering last night, Aeioinpanj
Ing him were Senulci C. C. Kauffman,
of Lancaster, and Rudolph Hlanken
burg nnd F. A. Van Valkenburg, who
have been Mr. Wannmaker's princi
pal political lieutenants for several
years. Van Valkenburg Is the man
who camo here two years ago with a
view to Influencing legislators to vote
for Mr. Wanamaker for United States
senator.
Mr. Wanamaker's coming was un
heralded, nnd none of the local Wan
amaker men were at tho Delaware
and Hudson station to give their chief
a reception. He did not leave the car
during the five minutes It was at
the station. Some of the passengers
who boarded the train recognized him
and stopped to shako hands with the
ex-postmnstcr general as they passed
through tho train. Among those who
Intioduced themselves was William H.
Dlmmlck, of Honcsdale. Ho Is related
by man Inge to ex-Presldcnt Hnnlson,
In whoso cabinet Mr. Wanamaker
served.
Mr. Wanamaker said he was going
to Honesdnle because he had been
asked many times to speak there, but
had heretofore not been able to reach
that place. Ho does not Intend to
make a tour of the entire state because
the time at his disposal will not per
mit him to do so.
NOT A CANDIDATE.
"I am not In this campaign in nny
sense ns a candidate," Mr. Wanamak
er said. "It Is not my campaign. I
am simply enlisted In It because I have
some thing to say to the voters just
as any man has the pilvilege of going
to tho town meeting and discussing
such matters as arc of Interest to the
community. It Is my purpose to tell
tho people of the evil practices that
have grown Into our legislature and
the manner In which public business Is
transacted at Hnulsburg. I tell tho
people something about the efforts that
Mr. Klklns, chairman of the Republi
can state committee says he Is mak
ing to bring about haimony In the
party In Pennsylvania. The only polit
ical haimony he wants Is a harmony
that will enable hltn to politically en
slave tho people.
"My expectation Is that we will
smash the Quay machine In Pennsyl
vania and i educe it to a condition be
yond repair. I am engaged In a cam
paign to drive the Blancos and Wey
lers out of the Republican party In
Pennsylvania. 1 want the people to
know that they hie being deceived
when they are told that McKlnley is
the prime consideration in this cam
paign, and that It Is the duty of loyal
Republicans to give an endorsement of
his war policy by electing whoever
they may find on the Republican
ticket.
"That's not tiue. McKlnley has
nothing to do with this campaign. He
does not enter into it nt all; neither
does the question of sound money. This
Is a campaign that the voters of Penn
sylvania are waging for privilege of
governing themselves. That Is the su
preme issue. Nothing takes preced
ence over it.
HIS CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR.
"Which of the candidates Is your
choice for governor?" Mr. Wanamaker
was asked. Before answering he hesl
tated for a moment, then hedged as
follows.
"You can say In every rolumn of
your paper, If you wish, that I am
opposed to any candidate owned or fa
vored by Senator Quay." More thnn
that Mr. Wanamaker would not say as
to his choice.
When reminded that Dr. Swallow
said In this city Wednesday that Mr.
Wanamaker's friends were his friends,
tho Philadelphia merchant prince bald:
"I do not know anything about thM.
I did not hear him say It," Then with
a smile, "You know I am not respon
sible for what poople may say about
me."
