fe THE SCRANTON TRIBUTE-MONDAY. MAY 8, 1899. MR. VOSBURG'S BOND MUSTBEACCEPTED COURT DECLARED HIM ELECTED CITY SOLICITOR. Another Legal Fight Will, However, Bo Necessary to Sccuro Possession of the Offlce, n3 Mr. McQlnley Will Continue to Claim That His Term Does Not Expire Until the First Monday in May, 1000 Arguments That Were Made for and Against the Writ. Tho mandamus procecdlnps Insti tuted by Attorney A. A. Vosburff, to compel tht approval pf his bond a city solicitor, was iircued befoie the court, on Satunlay morning, by At torneys Jnmes H. Torrey and Qeorqe H. Horn for Hie relator, nnd ex-Judge Hnnd. cx-Judgo Knupp and Hon. John P. Kelly for the respondents', the city councils. Mr. Torrey argued that under any as pect of the cusp, there wan a legal elec tion, because the membership of coun cIN at the time the Joint convention met was only forty-one, and It wrm undisputed that Mr. Vosburg received twentv-one votes at that f-esslon. Purtheimorc, It vas contended that as thp vote of Thomas O'Hoylo was iv rorded for Mr. Vosbuig, ho had no power to change It; that It must stand ns It was first Riven by him. Many cases were cited In suppoit of these propositions, On the question of vacancy In office, 'ouns"l for Mr. Vosbuip nrgued that the plain meaning of the net of as sembly was to create a two-yeor term, mid that under the construction placed upon It by Mr. McCllnley, he would bo In nfllc for nearly three years. say THrcrtn is so vacancy. Counsel for the respondents contend ed that under the terms of tho net of assembly there was no vacancy, as Mr. MeGlnley's term, they claimed, did not end until the II rat Monday of May, 19011. They further contended that Norton was a member of the councils, because he hnd taken the oath of olllce before a notary public. To this tho counsel for the relator re plied that as there had been no gen eral or special meeting of the com mon council prior to the Joint conven tion, hlt quollflcatlon for the ofllco had not been passed upon by that body pilor to that time, and that ho had not been sworn by tho chairman of his branch, as requited by tho act of as sembly. , The court took the papers, and at '.30 o'clock p. m. handed down an order, directing that n peremptory writ of mandnmus Issue, directing the councils to approve the bond This will dispose of the matter of Mr. Vosburg's election, ns both the select and common council will no doubt fol low tho older of court and approve the bond. IT IS A QUESTION. Mr. Vosburg will then qualify and be entitled to take the olllce. Just how norm he will secure possession of It, however. Is a question. No opinion ac companied the order of court and no Indication was given as to how far It went Into the case. All that appears on the suifaee, now. Is that court de cides Mr. Vosburg was elected city holleltor on Apiil 20. As to when Mr. MeGlnley's teim ends nnd Mr. Vos buig's begins Is btill open for nigu ment. .Mr. McC.Inley will continue to main taln that his term does not expire until IsaacLoog Welles llulldlns.

The farthest from the earth was the cirrhus, a light, mottled cloud which fonns In small patches veiy high In the sky, ind tho piesence of which alone always Indi cates bright, line weather. Next In front or this was tho cumu lus, a thick, puffy mass of cloud which usually foims on sultry days in mid summer; then In front of this again nnd neatest to the earth was the nim bus, or dark rain-cloud. These were all m.-vlng in different directions, being at dlft'etent altitudes, and consequently in different curi rents of air. It Is very rarely that these three kinds of clouds nre all seen nt the f.ame time, and in one part of the sky. The phenomena lasted for some minutes, and then gradually faded away.
