Portor Aro to Enter Upon tho Terras for Which Thoy Wero Choson at tho Last Election. Gibbons Caso Is to Bo Hoard During tho Second Week Quay Caso Is Not Likely to Come Beforo Superior Court. On Monday a two weeks' term of tho Superior court will open In this city. The sessions will be held In tho beautifully appointed Superior couit room In the county court house. Hon. DImncr Beeber, of Philadelphia, who on last Monday was appointod to suc ceed the late Judge Howard J. Reed er, of Easton, will make his first ap pearance on the bench ns a Superior court Judge. Hon. W. D. Porter, of Pittsburg like wise makes his first nppearanco nnd at the same tlmo enters ution his ten year term of office. Hon.W.W. Q?orter of Philadelphia, will also enter upon his term. Ho bos been seen hero before. Both of these men wero appointed by Governor Hastings to fill vacancies, and In November were tho candllates of tho Republican party and we e elect ed. The court as it now stands Is as follows: Hon. C. E. Rice, of Wilkes Barre, president judge; Hon. Jnme.s A. Beaver, Hon. George Orlndy, Hon. 1. P. Smith, W. W. Porter, Hon. W. D. Porter, Hon. Dlmner Beebei. Tho Gibbons caso will come up for consideration during tho second week of the session of tho court. Yester day's Philadelphia papers stated that tho Quay caso Is likely to bo referred to tho Superior court, but that Is not probable. The matter of sending the caso to tho Superior court is not free from difficulty, although the Supremo court's power In the case would bo ample and unlimited. Tho latter could send It to any county or could assign one of Its members to hear the trial. The right of tho Superior court to act at all Is doubtful. Section 7 of the act under which theSuporlor court was created, says: "The said court shall have no original Jurisdiction, except that It may issue writs of habeas cor pus." Under this act the court could hear only the complaint at most. Ob viously It would have no right to as sign a member to hear It In another county. This caso Is an original one. Tho Superior couit can hear only an ap pealed case, and It Is doubtful It It could hear tho Quay case in any phase. PROPERTIES SOLD BY SHERIFF Thoso Who Made Purchases at Yes terday's Sale.

Tho merchant that sells it for butter, is guilty of the same criino as tho man who passes a load dollar for a silver one; und tho law against selling Oleomargarine in this state is as strict as tho law for passing counterfeit money. Any mer chant found selling Oleomargarino is liablo to a lieavy lino aud im prisonment. Oleomargarine costs at wholesale lie. per pound, and instead of charging tho customer 18c. per pound, it should bo sold for what it is Oleomargarine at 112c. per pound, rotail, as that is its real value. Do not be swindled by store keepers who advertiso Taney Creamer' Butter for iSo. pet pound, and givo you Oleomargarine. I18IY OIL m MANUFACTURING i.
