SUPERIOrcOURT
ENDED FOR WEEK
TWO WYOMING COUNTY CASES
WERE ARGUED.
One of Them la for tho Purpose of
rinding Out if Special Offlcor
Fred L. Jayne Was Guilty of As
sault and Battery Upon Hackman
Turner Judges Will Spend Today
and Tomorrow in Consultation.
Monday's Session Begins at 2
O'clock p. m.
The Superior court adjourned for the
week yesterday nt noon, after hearing
the concluding arguments in the Car
bon county case of Klstlcr.nnd others
against Schelrer, appellant, nnd brief
arguments In two Wyoming county
cases.
The first of these was the ciu-o ot
lletsy Frost against Chnrlcs Allen nnd
Frank T. Knapp, sheriff, appellants.
James 13. Frear represented the ap
pellants and James W. Piatt nnd C. O.
Dershelmcr, tho nppelleo. It is an ap
peal frtn a verdict ot $100, given
against the defendants, for trespass in
selling farm property In the face of
the plaintiff's claim that she and not
her husband, the one executed against,
was tho owner of the property. Tho
defense Is that she did not give suffic
ient notice and that she failed to show
that Hie owned the property Independ
ent of her husband.
TH 13 JAYNK CASK.
The second case was entitled the
commonwealth against Fred. I Jayne.
He was convicted of assault and bat
tery on Solomon Turner and appeals
from the finding of the lower court.
Jayne was a special policeman ap
pointed by tho Wyomlni: County Agri
cultural society to preserve order dur
ing Its annual fair In September, 1S37.
Turner Is a hack driver and was en
gaged In carrying passengers between
Tunkhannock nnd the fair grounds.
Jnynu attempted to prevent Turner
from backing his wagon into the open
ing of the society's private lune lead
ing Into tho fair grounds nnd an alter
cation ensued, in which the hackman,
who Is an aged man, was roughly
handled.
The policeman claims that Turner
was committing a breach of tho peace
and that only sufficient force was used
by him to prevent the breach of the
peace.
EXCEEDED AUTHOIHTY.
The court below virtually instructed
tho jury thnt Jayne's authority to ex
ercise the right of policeman, under
the act empowering county fair asso
ciations to appoint policemen, only ex
tended to "Infractions of rules tind
regulations of the asrlcultural soci
ety" and that as there was no form
ally enacted rule regulating the con
duct of hackmen, Jayne exceeded his
authority. The appeal is taken on the
ground that the court erred In this,
and also In not finding that any per
son has the right to prevent another
from committing a breach of the peace.
The judges will spend today and to
morrow in consultation, and It is ex
pected a number of opinions will be
ready to be handed down Monday next.
Monday's session will not begin until
2 o'clock p, m.
COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Taylor Trespass Case in tho Hands
of a Jury.
A common pleas Jury was out at ad
journment yesterday in the damage
suit In which Mrs. Ellen Taylor was
plalntllf and the city of Scranton, de
fendant. She sued to recover for al
leged damnges to her property on Ninth
street resulting from the erection of
the retaining wall, there, which it was
contended diverted travel from the
portion of tho street on which her
property was located and thereby les
sened Its value as a business Place.
The greater part of two days was
spent in receiving testimony as to
whether or not the property had been
damaged. Yesterday morning when
the case was closing it was shown that
Mrs. Taylor came into possession ot
the property four years after the im
provements to tho street had been
made. City Solicitor McGlnley seized
upon tbi" as his main argument
against -s. Taylor's right to recover
and Judgi' Love In his charge virtually
directed the :ury to adopt Mr. McGln
ley's contention. He said that when
Mrs. Taylor bought the property Bhe
covenanted to accept it as It was. The
right to claim damages does not run
with the property,
HILL AGAINST WHIT-MOKE.
In the case of Charles Hill against
S. C. Whltmoro the verdict agreed upon
after court adjourned, Wednesday, was
presented yesterday morning. It was
for the plaintiff. Hill took a lot ot
mill machinery of Boyev & Son, of
Mayfleld, in payment of a debt of $1C0.
67, which the Boyer's owed to Hill's
company, the Sawyer Lumber company
of North Tonuwanda, N. V. The Uoy
crs gave him a bill of sale and a few
days later when he was about to re
move the machinery on the strength of
this bill of sale, the defendant inter
posed judgment executions against the
Boyers and prevented his cnrrylng
away the machinery. The suit was to
determine which creditor should have
the property.
The last case called was that of Mm
Stowers' Pork Packing company
against K. J. Wolfgang. It was a suit
on a $100 check. Nathan Jurkovitz,
one of the company's customers was
refused further credit unless lie would
give some security for what he already
owed which was something In excess
of $100. He secured a check for $100
from his brother-in-law, 13, J. Wolf
rang, and presented it to tho company.
Tho brother-in-law, a few days later,
stopped payment on the check, and
when it was returned protested, the
company charged It up to Jurkovitz.
Now. "Wolfgang Is fighting payment of
the check on the ground that there was
no consideration. The jury found for
the plaintiff in the sum ot $111.10.
FnOTIIINGHAM CASH.
The ejectment suit of Arthur Froth
Inghnin ngainst C. II. Welles, which
v.-m scheduled for trial, yesterday, was

o dispose of tho case. All Jurors not
engaged yesterday morning were dls
charged for tho week.

people generally have been Inquiring
"whnt Is the caure of rheumatism?"
Millions have suffered from Its strnngj
attacks, have endured In silence and
still wondered whnt could have caused
It. Like all great things lit this world,
the cause Is very simple when clearly
understood.
Uric ncld In the blood Is the one great
cause of ull this trouble, all this pain,
all this unnoyance, which so often
wrecks the life
Hut how does this uric neld get Into
tho blood? That Is the great question.
Uric ncld gets Into tho blood, poisons
the blood, and often ruins the life, be
cause It Is not expelled from the sys
tem. .
Hut how can It be thrown out of the
system?
In one way nnd onn way only
through tho kidneys. Is this not sim
ple, Is it not reasonable It Is true!
It is because the kidneys are not do
ing their duty that the uric acid re
mains In the- body, get Into the blood,
onuses those terrible pains In the Joints
and muscles and frequently brings on
more serious troubles.
There hns never been but one wav by
which the kidneys could be kept In per
fect condition and good working order,
nnd that Is by the use of thut great
modern dlscov ery Warner's Safe Cure.
This has been pi oven conclur.lvely by
the millions of people who have used It.
by tho millions who have been helped
and by those who are In perfect health
today.
You know this, reader, if you will
only stop and think. Hecall how many
times you have read the grateful words
of men and women who have been in
the depths of bitterness and who havo
been restored by uyng Warner's Safe
Cure. There nre an untold number of
people today who would be In nn ex
hausted condition from rheumatism if
It were not tor a constant use of this
great discovery.

FIRE AT VARNISH WORKS.
Building Was Destroyed and the
Flames Communicated to the
Palentine Hotel Which Was
Also Reduced to Ashes.
While an employe of the Scranton
Metal Illack Vnrnlsh company was
pouring varnish from a can into a tank
last evening at C o'clock a spark was
seen to full Into the tank by the pro
prietor, but from where it came he
could not say. The spark ignited the
varnish and by the time an alarm was
sounded from Box 75 tho place was a
mass of flames. The property is situ
ated on the north side of the old Driv
ing park and was a brick building,
with wooden Interior.
The Liberty, General iPhlnney nnd
Niagara companies responded and had
a stream on the fire In a remarkably
short time. Owing to the plugs being
frozen, one stream was nil that could
be secured. This stream was directed
on the storage house in the rear of the
varnish factory.whlch contained thirty
five barrels of benzine. Thla building
was saved, but the flames soon spread
to the Palentine hotel, which stood
within twenty feet of the burning
building.
A second alarm was turned In, which
brought out the Cumberland, Excelsior
and Relief companies. Chief Ulckey
arrived at tills time and directed the
operations toward saving the surround
ing buildings. The wind blew the
flames directly on tho hotel, but will
ing hands' saved most of the contents.
If It had been possible to get a stream
on the hotel it could have been saved,
but it was an hour and a quarter from
the time the first stream was turned
on until the second stream was se
cured, lloth buildings burned fiercely
and rapidly, and by 6,30 o'clock nothing
but the brick wnlls of the Varnish
works were standing.
The Varniuh works were owned by
George Jermyn and B. JL Morrison.
Their estimated loss will be $2,500.
There was no Insurance on either
building or contents.
The Palentine hotel was owned by
Attorney George E. Taylor nnd was
leased by John Phalen for hotel pur
poses. Mr. Phalen did not carry any
Insurance on his goods. Just how
much insurance Mr. Taylor carried
could not be ascertained.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
You are perhaps aware that pneu
monia always results from cold or
from an attnek of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonln, It was observed that the
attack was never followed by that di
sease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. It counteracts any ten
dency of n cold or la grippe to re
sult in that dangerous disease. It Is
th best remedy in the world for bad
colds and la grippe. Every bottle war
ranted. For sale by all druggists.
