GRANTED NON-SUITS
IN TWO INSTANCES
JUDGE SIMONTON ABRUPTLY
ENDS A COUPLE OF CASES.
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

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.
.

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

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.

ing circles In the twenty round boxing

even more exciting than the usual run
of them.
Letters received from the principles
by Manager Skelly indicate that they
' are training carefully for this bout.
1 In a few davs thov will be here and
Scrantonlans may judge of their splen

MOTHER-IN-LAW TOOK CHARGE
Josoph E. Mills Has Had a Warrant
Issued for Hor Arrest.
A rather pitiful story In which a
mother-in-law Is alleged to play an un
enviable part was related to Alderman
Howe yesterday by Joseph E. Mills,
24 years old, of 156 Meridian street;
rather, he did reside at that address
until his baby and wife died and hla
home was dismantled.
Mills had some hard luck during the
latter part of last year. Though hon
est, able-bodied and willing to work,
he could not get steady employment
though he managed to draw enough to
pay his rent and scant supplies of pro
lslons. During It all his baby died
und grief was ftdded to hU troubles.
The cllma came last week when bis
wlfo died. Tho funeral was held on
Sunday but Mills, broken and grief
stricken, had not the fortitude to spend
the night alone In his desolated home.
He accepted tho Invitation of Parker
street friends to remain at their house
until morning.
AVhen Mills l cached his home Monday
morning he found It stripped of every
thing it contained. He had owed one
month's rent but tho landlord had
agreed to wait awhile for his money
and not disturb Mills In his possession
of the plnce. 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. It was served yesterday after
noon. The wnrrant charges larceny.
Mrs. AVahlen will be given a bearing
this afternoon.

Questions of Value.
He knew that sho was n clever buclness

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
