One of Thorn Was tho Important Dolphin-Stool Coal Suit j tho Other, the Case of Vornau Against tho German Building and Loan As sociation Attorneys Kelly and Scragg Found Their Occupation Gono Through a Movo of tho Op posing Counsel, Mr. Newcomb. Non-suits were allowed In two cases yesterday by Judge Slmonton. One of the cases was that of Dolphin & Dlm mlek against J. II. Steel, in which tho plaintiffs sued for a two-sevenths in terest in the AVcst Ridge Coal com pany. They alleged that they agreed with Mr. Steel to turn over to him tho stock of tho Providence and Church Coal companies, and certain coal leases which they controlled, and In return they wero to bo allowed a one-seventh interest each In a new coal company whjch Mr. Steel was to form. Mr, Steel became largely identified with tho AVest Ridge Coal company, which was formed some time after the agreement In question was entered Into, and the plaintiffs made demuud for a share of the stock. Mr. Steel de nied their claim, alleging that the deal with them had fallen through, because of the Inability to Mectiro the leases they had in view, and that the AVest Ridge company was a concern altogether for eign to the one contemplated In their deal. Yesterday, when It developed thai Mr. Dlmmlck had failed to secure leases which he bargained to contribute to the enterprise, a non-suit was asked for bv the defendant's attorneys, AVellcs & Torrey, and Judge Slmonton granted It. THK OTHER NON-St'IT. The other non-suited case was that of Conrad Vernati against the German Building nnd Lonn association. No. n. Mr. Vernau waited on Secretary N. G. Goodman to buy some stock In the nn soclntlon. Mr. Goodman sold him six shares of his own stock, which had been running thirteen weeks. Mr. Ver nau, upon taking out the stock, was charged J.V extra for premiums and admission bonus. He objected to hav ing this money deducted on the ground that all they could charge him was the amount of money paid in, plus six per cent. This claim was based on the assump tion that Mr. Goodman was acting as secretary of the association when he fold the stock to Mr. A'ernau. Mr. Hannah, attorney for the association, contended that Mr. Goodman was simply acting ns an individual, and ns the law sustained his contention, Judge Slmonton granted bis request for a non-suit. An unusual and amusing Incident oc curred in the .trial of the case of the J. S. Miller estate against Henry Hoar and Annie Hoar. It Is an ejectment suit for a thirty-four acre plot of ground near Elmhurst, which the plaintiff claims through sheriff's sale. The defense Is that It was wrongfully sold as the property of Henry Hoar: that the wife Annie Hoar was the real owner. The husband and wife who, by the way, are not living together, contest each other's claims. She al leges that It was deeded to her by her father. He claims that he bought the property and turned it over to her father as trustee. The three-cornered character of the contest was responsible for tho unus ual Incident. Mr. Newcomb called the husband as for cross-examination. Messrs. Kelly and Scrag?, counsel for Mrs. Hoar, objected on the ground that a husband can not give evidence against his wife. Judge Gunster sus tained the objection. Thereupon Mr. Newtomb moved to amend by discon tinuing the case ngulnst Mrs. Hoar. The motion being allowed, the witness was made competent. COMPELLED TO AVITHDRAAV. This barred Mr. Kelly and Mr. Scragg out of the case and as they ap peared only for Mrs. Hoar. AA'hen they suggested this to the judge, Mr. New comb broke in with: "Exactly, you may take your cans and go home. Do not stay through any feeling of delic acy. 1 ussuro you I will not be of- I Messrs. Kelly and Scragg were com I pelled to "pull out their chairs" and ' withdraw. The husband had no de j tense to offer and a verdict for the plaintiff was accordingly directed. The piuumn. win now proceed singly against Mrs. Hoar, or If they can get posses sion of the property, compel her to move against the plaintiff. The case of James AVashlngton John son agafnst the borough of Archbald was called for trial before Judge Slm onton just previous to adjournment. He Is an aged colored man living In AVinton. On a dark rainy night in January, 1S!)7. while walking along Main street in Archabld he stepped off a board sidewalk which termin ated at a deep ditch, and, falling a distance of eight feet, broke a leg und AA A A AAAAAAAAA. .. ...... 1.25 1.49 sustained a fractured rib which perfor ated hlslung.so It Is claimed. The defense Is that tho place is well lighted and that Johnson was guilty of contribu tory negligence In walking Into the ditch. It in also alleged that he Is eighty years of age und almost blind and that nn the night In question he was almost blind drunk. He asks $10,000 damages. ( Comegys la as sisting Horuugh Solicitor C. A. Wal lenberg In the defense and the plain tiff has us his attorney E. AV. Thayer. HOLGATE TRESPASS CASE. Pro bono publico Is the defense of fered In a trespass case called before Judge Edwards. E. S. Holgate and George AV. Decker are neighbors la Montdale. Holgate shot a valuable shepherd dog belonging to Decker and the latter suea to recover damnges. Holgate alleges In tho defense that tho dog savagely attacked nnd painfully wounded his six-year-old son und that he shot the dog simply to rid tho com munity of his dangerous presence. Car penter and Pleltz represent the plain tiff and R. II. Holgate the defendant. In the gold mine case of George A. AVinans against U. M. Bunnell a ver dict for the plaintiff In the sum of JSS3.C3 was rendered. The fifteen-year-old $40 cae of T. V. Leonard against George It. Clark and compuny was decided in favor of the defendant. THREE INTERESTING PAPERS. Read at Last Night's Meeting of Historical Society. There was nn interesting meeting Inst night of the Catholic Historical Society and Newman Magazine club In the rooms of the society In the Guern sey building. Tho lirst paper read was by Miss Kathcrlne G. Mnhr and wiw an analy sis of a paper from tho January Cos mopolitan on "Irish Leaders In For eign Lands." The second paper was tho description of a project to celebrate tho closing of the nineteenth century by presenting Leo XIII with a sum of jm.OOO.OOO for the support and mainten ance of the foreign missions. The third paper read by Miss Annie E. Hoban, was a resume of tho latest discussion relative to the Gun Powder Plot showing that the documents upon the strength of which the Jesuit Fath ers were excluded for suspected know ledge of the plot are undeniable for geries. The parties to the discussion are Rev. John Gerrard, S. J now provincial of tho Jesuit order in Eng land, and Professor Rawllnson Gard iner, of Oxford. Professor Gardiner admits that tho point3 advanced by Father Gerrard are so serious in their damaging effect up on the olllclal story represented by the documents, that unless they are cate gorically proven false Father Gerrard's position must be admitted. Father Gerrard has shown by fac simile of the genuine handwriting of Thomas AVinler, upon whose reprinted confession the Jesuit Father Garnet was executed, thut the reprinted con fession Is an absolute forgery. These fucts were neatly shown In the paper read last evening and the cleverness with which the vnrlous points were stated show great Industry and painstaking in the writer as well as unusual cleverness in seizing the historical points at issue. After the literary exercises ended the social hour began with a beautiful vo cal uoln by Miss Mary Jordan. The audience was so charmed that they Imperiously called for a second selec tion. The instrumental accompani ment was rendered In both selections by Miss Nellie Ueamish. Next Tuesday evening the evening will be devotPd to card playing and dancing. . SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT Given in tho Araerman Memorial Mission Last Evening. An entertainment was conducted last night In the A merman Memorial Mis sion on Prescott avenue for the benefit of the library fund. It was very suc cessful notwithstanding the disagree able weather. The programme opened with an Instrumental solo, "Silver Stars." by Miss Edwards which was followed by Iho "Speech of Sparta cus to the Gladiators," by Piofesror John M. Francis. Mr. Evans sans "13orn at Sea" in a splendid manner and was encored. He responded by singing "Break the News to Mother." Miss Moyle cleverly gave "The Star Spangled Banner" lr, pantomime. Miss Edwards sang "Somebody," and for an encore "Asleep en the Deep.'" Profes sor Francis gave "Impersonations of a Yankee In Love," and in response to an encore "The AVelsh Chorister." Other numbers on the programme were: Recitation, "Sister and I," nnd "The One-legged Gooso," Miss Moyle; "A AA'orkman Out of Employment," Professor Francis: solo, "When Har vest Comes Again," Miss Edwards; delsarte poses, Miss Moyle. CONTEST CLOSES TONIGHT. P. W. Gallagher and M. J. Cusick Have Waged a Lively Battle. At St. John's church fair, South Scranton, tonight, the contest between Attorney P. AV. Gallagher and Com mon Councilman M. J. Cusick for a violin will close. The Instrument was donated by Colonel E. II. Ripple und Is a valuable one. The contestants nnd their numerous friends have fought earnestly, yet with good natured riv alry for the honor. Indications point that the hall on Fig street will be crowded tonight with enthusiastic admlreiu of Messrs. Gal lagher and Cusick. DEFEATED M'COY'S BROTHER Frank Bartley, of Binghamton, N. Y., Had a Walk Over. Frank Bartley, of Bliighamton, who fought Jimmy Jupdge In this city, won a decision over Homer Selby, a brother of "Kill" McCoy, in their bIx round fight at Tattersall's In Chicago Sat urday evening. The victory was decisive und showed clearly that Selby is not in the Hlng bamton uoy's sphere. At no stage In tho light wiw there a question as to who- was tho better man, and, purtlc uarly In the last three rounds, did Bartley show to far better advantogo than young McCoy. CONSUMERS' BEER COMPANY. Officers Chosen at a Meeting Hold Yesterday. Tho following ofllcers wero chosen by tho Consumers' Beer company at a meeting held yesterday In the law of fice of E. C. Newcomb: President nnd treasurer, Edward J, Rutledge; secretary, AVilllam H. Rut ledge; general manager, Christian F. Frye. The company proposes to build a brewery In this city.

Mrs. Roberts Is the ilrst woman to bo a candidate on a city ticket in Scran ton and the second woman to run for public office In this city, Mrs. Franc T. Vail, who ."ought to represent the Sev enteenth ward on the board of control, enjoying this latter distinction. THE FIRST INTENTION. It was not at Ilrst the intention of the Prohibition managers to put a ticket in the field this spring. How ever, to preserve their standing as a party In the eyes of the Baker ballot law, and to satisfy requests from many strong party men who wanted some thing of the Prohibition persuasion to vote for, the executive committee at the eleventhhour resolved upon mak ing nominations. If nothing else is accomplished, tho placing of a ticket In the Held will pre serve to tho party its right to nomi nate by certificates. If they allow an election to pass without making nomi nations, they must make future nomi nations on "Independent" papers until such time us they re-establish them selves as a party, according to the pro visions of the ballot law.

Inquiry was made and it was learned that his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary AVahlen, also of Meridian street, bad paid the rent and then re moved all the household goods and pro visions despite the protests and threat ened prosecution of tho landlord. Mills went through tho rooms nnd found that everything had been taken Including the wearing apparel which had belonged to his wife, the baby's clothes, and all the eatables. After consulting with the landlord, who said he had used every means ex cept force, to prevent the stripping. Mills went to Alderman Howe nnd pro cured a warrant for Mrs. AVahlen's ar rest.

IN TflE PLAY HOUSES. Ward and Vokes. For the attraction at the Lyceum ' Saturday, Jan. 28, matinee and even ! ing, AVard and A'okcs and their big i farce comedy troupe will present their , big vauiety tfarce "The Governors." This announcement Is In Itself a full guarantee of a good time to patrona of this house, but the efforts which have been made to present u high class entertainment and organization are worthy of extended notice. These fa vorite funmakers have for tho past five years toured the country, and each year they have endeavored to surpass the previous one In their efforts to pre sent high class farce. "The Governors" employs the service of thirty-two peo ple and Is presented with all special scenery and an Investiture of wardrobe seldom accorded to anything less than a comic opera or a big extravaganza. So much for the provisions which cater to the eye alone, and now for the ar tistic merits of the show from tho standpoint of an admirer of this par ticular kind of nonsense. A company comprising such artists as Lucy Daly, Margaret Daly Vokes, Johnny Page, John Keefe, Charles AV. Young, Mar gerla Addis, Louis Kerlin, the Boston quartette, James Cherry, Hal S. Ste phens and some twenty othera cannot fall to be one of distinct merit. An unusually large programme of musical and specialty numbers is provided. La Grippe Successfully Treated. "I have Just recovered from the sec ond attack of la grippe this year,' says Mr. James A. Jones, publisher of the Leader, M-xla, Texas. "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and I think with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days against two days for the former attack. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally ns bad as the Ilrst but for the use of this remedy as I had to go to bed In about six hours after being 'struck' with It, while In tbeflrst case I was able to attend to business about two davs before getting down.' " For 3ale by all druggists. Matthews Bros, whole sale and retail agents. wliat tho Result May Be. Any cough neglected may sap the strength and undermine the health un til recovery Is Impossible.
