Sheriff Pryor lias had a big placard printed, for display in his oftlce, an nouncing that on Tuesday, and Tues tlny only, will visitors bo Admitted to the county jail. He has been extend ing tho privilege on other days, but It has become necessnry to shut down on it, he says, because of the geneinlly prevalent belief that the county Jail Is a sort of public curiosity Bhop. One woman, not many days since, nsked permission to visit the Jail, and being granted the same, went thither and proceeded to settle herself there for an extended stay. She said she wftB n student of palmistry and wanted to study tho lines on the hands of the cilniinnls. This Is Just an Instance given by the sheriff to illustrate tho Ideas some people have regarding the ad ministration of affairs at the Jail. CLAIMS ORDERED PAID. Phoenix Chemical Company Is Now a Member of the Scranton Fire men's Belief Association. Business Transacted. Phoenix Chemical company was re instated to membership and claims to the amount of $558 were oidered paid at Inst night's meeting of the Scran ton Firemen's Relief association. The lutter action is important from the fact that the injuries or sicknesses of the beneficiaries transpired previous to June 6, the date on which the associa tion was chattered. Some time ago the claims were re ferred by rule to tho board of trustees. Instead of a report the board last night piescnted the minutes of a meeting at which it was decided to take no action on the claims, but to refer them to the association. The board considered it had no right to act on claims of a date prior to tho date of incorpora tion. Last night's meeting consldeted not only the claims referred to tho board but In addition one of $50, pre sented by Patrick Loftus, of Cumber land company, who was Injured April '.M Mr. Slmrell, of the board of trustees, remarked that In view of the opinion of the attorney of the board, M. A. McGlnley, that firemen injured prior to Juno G had no legal claim on the association, It was decided by the boaid not to assume any responsibil ity In recommending their payment. A. U. Holmes, also a trustee, approved pnvment. He admitted the absence of any legal obligation, but said there wns a moial obligation Inasmuch as the claims wcte subsequent to the re ceipt of the money from tho state treasurer and subsequent to the dute of organization. After a long debate It became plain thut a majority favored payment.vvhlch wus ilnally authorized, the claims being approved sopar'ntely as follows: S. H. Price, $42: Adam Stelnhauser, $32; Thomas C'onlan, $36, Thomas Camp bell, $106; Lincoln Tillman, $50; James W. George. $36, George Grleser, $32; Henry Hlnes, $8; Charles K. Tropp, $114, Isaac Tlce, $32. George Connor, $10 Pattlck Loftus, $50. Thete wns final opposition to only one claim, that of Grleser, of the Nep tune company, who was hutt by a fall ing wall, which killed Michael Gogo lln, of the South Side, in the Young Men's Chilstlnn ossoclatlon ruins. It wns argued that Grleser, though a fliemnn, was In the ruins as nn em ploye of the stieet department, and by paving his claim It would be sug gested that the city might be liable for damages for the death of Gogolln, although the street department had lepudiated the employment of Grleser nnd had refused to pay him for his wink In the lulns. From Phoenix Chemical company wns received a communication which stated In effect that the company re pudiated tho unauthorized action of some of Its members In writing letters concerning the company's right to share in the fund, that money for the company's dues. If reinstated, had been appropriated, ail that the former del egates would represent the company In the association. Only one member, who alleged that the company had not made suillcient "apologv" for having been so "snssy," intimated an objec tion to the lelnstntement. Ills te maiks had no weight, and tho com pany's delegates, Charles Schadt and Max Zlzlemun, were voted to member ship. Before adjournment Treasurer A. B, Holmes called the attention of the members to the report that a move ment wus nfoot to iepe.il the 2 per cent tux law which procures the benefit fund Up thought the firemen should post themselves as to what candidates for tho leglslntuie were against re peal and govern themselves accord ingly.

WAS Duffy Ejectment Cnso and tho Dam age Suit of Smith Against the Jer myn and Rushbiook Water Com pany Wero on During tho Entire Day and Are Not Yot Concluded. Verdict for the Defendant in the Mason-Plynn Caso-Now Trials Ap plied for. In court loom No. 2 Judge CJunster nnd twelve men good nnd true spent tho greater part of yestetduy listening to nn interesting question Involving the ownership of a pluno. J. L. L. Travis delivered n piano to Mrs. Leah James. Mrs. James was sold out for rent by J. O. Aekermnn nnd tho plnno wns among the goods ho seized upon. Travis Is now endeavoring to recover the pluno, alleging that It was only leased to Mrs. James and that she had paid but half of the $100, which was tho selling price. Ackerman contends that the piano wns sold outright and was therefore subject to seizin e for Mrs. James' debts. The principal bit of evidence In the case Is a paper purporting to be a lease. It bears Mrs. James' name, but the signature wns not hers. Travis admits that It Is not Mrs. James' own slgnnture but claims It wns put there at her authorization by her daughter. The case was given to the Jury late in the afternoon. C S. Woodruff and C. W. Carpenter represent the pluln tlff. while J. E. Watklns nnd O'Brien and Kelly are the defendant's attor neys. THE EJECTMENT SUIT. The Duffy ejectment suit was on ull day yesterday before Judge Aichbald. It will not be concluded until probably noon today. The defendant, Mary Duf fy, of Carbondnle, while on tho stand yesterday morning became so excited on two different occuslons that court took a recess until she could recover iter mentnl equlllbrum. Although the damages demaned are only $1,000 nnd the ease from a legal point of view is not of great impoit ance, the suit of Smith against the Jermyn nnd Rushbrook wnter company dragged Itself through all of yesterday and bids fair to take up tho greater patt of today. The unusually large number of witnesses summoned by tho plaintiff accounts for the case being so long drawn out. A verdict against the defendant is assured as it admits having gone upon the plaintiff's land. The only question is as to the amount of damages. The delense opened yesterday after noon. It is contending that while the farm was slightly damaged by the com pany running Its mnln through It and spoiling a spring this damage Is recom pensed fully by the fact that the plain tiff can have the use of the company's service, a convenience which, it Is claimed, enhances the value of the farm fully $500. In the case of Thomas Mason against Thomas Flynn, growing out of an al leged illegal sale by landlord, the Jury yesterday returned a verdict In favor of the defendant. A new trial was forthwith asked for on the giounds of enors by court. NEW TRIAL ASKED. A new trial was also asked for by tho defendant in the big ejectment suit of the Lacoe nnd Shiffer coal company ngalnst W. M. Springer, which took up nil of last week before Judge Edwards. 'I wenty-one allegations of eirors on the part of the court aro assigned. T. F. Penman, attorney for the de fendant, petitioned court to set uslde the verdict for the defendant, taken by default in the case of Hunt and Con nell against A. P. Bedford. On Tues day when the case was called for trial no one appeared for the defense and Judgment was directed for the plain tiff. Mr. Penman now uveis that he hud no knowledge of the case being on the tilul list or he would have been there to defend It. A tule was gt ant ed to show cause why the verdict should not be set pslde and a new trlul granted, ictuinabe at argument court. It is a suit of a $150 Judgment note given in pnjwent for an account that Is now disputed B. Fenton Tlnkh.un lefeiee In the case ot George L. Wakeman against P J. Conway, agent, lepoited a verdict finding In fnvoi of the plaintifl for .210 11. The suit was over a car of hay which was dellveied to the defendant. Theie was a dispute as to the terms.
