First Hearing in the Case Was Had Yesterday Before Referee C. E. 01 ver The Title to the Land from tho Commonwealth Down to Crip pen Was Shown An Action Against the City to Recover Dam ages for Injury Done to a Prop erty in Green Ridge. There was a henrlntr before Referee C. K. Olver yesterday In the ejectment case of Randolph Crlppen nenlnst the city of .Scranton. Mr. Crlppen owns tho Bristol house property at Provi dence square and he also claims to own a strip of land about 30x70 feet In size In front of the hotel which Is now used as a roadwav. Years nco, when this valley was al most n wilderness, a tavern was built nt the Intersection of the Carhondale and Wllkes-Harre and the Philadelphia and C.rent Rend turnpikes. As was tho custom nt that time, the tavern was set hack some dlstnnce from the turn pikes to give sufficient room for teams to stand nnd turn around. The tavern by various processes of evolution became the llrlstol house as It stands today and tho space in front of It has continued to he used by the public. For years there has not been the same need to leave horses nnd wagons stand In front of the building that existed when the tavern wns built and us n result the space has been used for general highway purposes. Several years ago Mr. Crlppen began the erection of n fence out on the line of the old turnpike, but was restrained from doing so and subsequently began nn action In ejectment to determine the question of ownership of the land In question. It was this suit that was heard before Referee Olver yesterday. Only record testimony on tho part of the nlnlntlff was offered in evidence yesterday. Title from the common wealth down to Randolph Crlppen for the land In question was established. At tho further hearings to be held evi dence will be offered to show that the width of the turnnlke was originally only fifty feet from what Is now the south curb line of West Market street. The city's position is that the land In question has been used as a public road for over a quarter of a century and that It Is therefore the property of the public. The answer of the plain tiff to this Is that the possession of the city was not exclusive or adverse. It was merely a permissive use of tho land for the advantage of tho owner as well as the public. The plaintiff Is represented by Attorneys I. II. Burns and II. M. Hannah and the defendant by City Solicitor Vosburg. Heard Before Arbitrators. The case of William Dunn against Juriseh & Company was heard yester day before Arbitrators Clarence Hal lentlne, 15. F. Tinkhum and George L. Peck. The plaintiff claimed damages for the taking of his bicycle from him, which he had previously purchased from the defendants. The defendants contended that they had a right to take his bicycle, because the plaintiff was in default in his payments under n lien with them. To this the plaintiff replied that he was a minor and not bound by con tract, as a bicycle Is not a necessity In the eyes of the law. This view of the case was adopted by the ar bitrators, who found an award of $60 In favor of the plaintiff. The defendants were represented by U. A. Zimmerman, esq., nnd Attorney A. A. Vosburg appeared for the plain tiff. An Action in Trespass. Michael Faust and Caroline Faust, executors of the estate of Michael Faust, deceased, yesterday began an action in tiespass to recover damages for Injury to a property on Mousey avenue. Green Itldge, which they al lege has been greutly Impaired In value because the city changed the grade of Monsey avenue. The plaintiffs are represented by At torneys M. J. Martin and I. II. Rurns.

MET A SHOCKING DEATH. Harry Laning Pinned Under a Horso and Is Burned to Death. A shocking death occasioned by last (Monday) evening's storm occurred In Ross township, four miles from Shlck shlnny, when Harry Laning, a young farmer, was burned to death In his father's bam, Tho young man was 2.1 yeurs old, a son of Augustus lean ing, a well known and prosperous far mer of Ross township. The young man was working with n team of horses on tho farm and when the storm came up he drove to the barn and began to unharness tho horses. While engaged In that work a terrific bolt of lightning struck tho barn, setting th- structure on lire and killing both horses. It seems that young Laning was not injured by the lightning, but one of the horses fell on him, pinning him to the ground. He wns unable to escape .and the barn burned ubout him like a huge funeral pyre, burning him to a crisp. The young man's father and other farm hnnds rushed to tho barn when they saw It In ilamcs, but they were unable to rescue the unfortunate young man, who could be seen In tho fiery furnace struggling to free him self from under tho horse. He wns apparently hurt by the weight of tho horse nnd was unable to get out, and, finally giving up In despair, he was seen to huddle under the carcass of the horse and was burned almost to a crisp. When the fire burned out the chnrred remains of the young mnn were gathered up and removed to his late home. Aside from the loss of his son the fire was a severe blow to Farmer Lan ing. The large barn, filled with the season's crops, hay, etc.. vehicles and farming tools and three horses were burned. The affair has caused con siderable excitement nnd the farmers In that region are considerably agi tated over the burning Wllkes-Barre Times. PAVEMENT A POSSIBILITY. Girard Construction Company About Ready to Begin Work. There now appears to be n faint pos sibility that tho North Main avenue nnd Providence road paving will be commenced In the course of a few weeks. The street car company and the paving contractor, the Girard Con struction oompans". are conferring In regard to tho paving between the tracks, and when they reach a satis factory agreement the paving company will call upon the city engineer for the signal to begin operations. The street car company wanted to do lis own paving, but the city en gineer opposed this on the grounds that It would cause too much Inconveni ence to travel to have two parties working on the street at the same time, and again, that If two companies did the work there would be two seams in the concrete, all of which could be avoided If one party did the work. DEAD P0R SEVERAL DAYS. Body of an Aged Lady Was Found in Carbondale. The body of an aged lady named Mrs. Swartz, who occupied the upper floor of a house on Relmont street, Carbondale. was found yesterday af ternoon by some of the neighbors. Fiom the appearance of the remains it is very probable that life had been extinct for several days. The old lady lived alone and it is thought that she was taken suddenly ill and as there was no one to render her any assistance, died. Tho remains wre taken In charge by Undertaker Mollugh. Corner Roberts has been notified and will make an Investigation. SPENCER CHANGED HIS MIND. Wants to Be County Auditor Instead of Commissioner. Wlndeld Scott Palmer, of Dalton, a brother of Hon. II.

Balloting Will Bo Resumed This Morning for the Offices Not Yet Pilled Annual Address of the State President, A. J. Colborn, of This City When tho Convontion Opened the Delegates Wero Wel comed to the City of Wllkes-Barre by Mayor Nichols. The slate convention ot the Patriotic Order Sons ot America opened yester day morning in the Ncsbltt theater, In Wllkes-Harre. Tho large auditor ium was crowded by tho delegates, who numbered considerably over a thous and, Tho sessloti was opened by Attor ney K. F.

The mayor welcomed the delegates to the city In a characteristic address and extended them the freedom of tho town. The response to the mayor's address was given by State President A. J. Colborn, esq., of this city. it was couched In that gentleman's most elo quent phrases and was received with great applause. After Mr. Colborn had concluded, William Weand, of Philadelphia, stepped forward and presented him with a handsome gavel made from wood from the house of William Penn nnd ornamented with brass taken from the battleships Maine and Iowa. PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. At this point the secret session be gan tho first order of business, being the reading of State President Col born's annual addiess. It was In part as follows: Once again I am permitted, to present to yon, as required of the slate president by the stale camp constitution, an ad dress embodying tho condition and prog ress of the order In the state during tho past year. The record of tho year just ended has been a glorious one for our be loved order; it has reached the highest point in membership In Its history, and should stimulate us to renewed activity In the coming year. The past year has been a glorious one, too, for the Ameri can people. Our country has moved dur. ing the past year In the swift current of stupendous events which have recast the maps of the world, and drawn us, as a nation, to a place at tho front of tho governments of the earth. It has emerged ttlumphant from a short but crucial and momentous war which has can led forward history and unveiled destiny. The halo It has shed o,i American arms, and the glory with which It has exalted the name American illl us with Just pride and exultation Under the supreme mandate of humanity and justice, that war was reluctantly waged, but once undertaken tho unerring sure ness of Its aim, the unfaltering vigor of Its direction, and the unbroken sweep of Its victories stand unmatched on all the myriad pages of history. The Ameri can people face a new epoch In tho his tory of the republic. We have come to a broader outlook, whose Import It Is well for every son of America especially to consider. During the past year our order has moved forward with a strong, healthy and vigorous life. Great work has been done, but not all has been accomplished that was desired and for which we la bored so earnestly. Our fond desire was to make tills llio greatest and best year In the history of cur beloved order, and In some respects this lias been done, but not in every one. as we had fondly hoped. The detail of the work of the year will bo found In the reports of the state secre tary and state treasurer to which you are respectfully referred. MANY NEW ("AMI'S. A great many new camps have bien or ganized during the year, S3 in all. We hopefully anticipated organizing a new camp In every district In the state, but In this wo have been disappointed. Phil adelphia and York countless have done nobly in the organization ot new camps, and great praise Is due the brethren in these counties for the earnest and en thusiastic manner In which they have la bored to Increase the number of new camps. This spirit of work has not mani fested itself In every section of the state. There are several counties In the state where our order has not as yet gained a foothold nor had Its banner unfurled, and in those counties we have labored and sown seed which, we believe, will bear fruit If properly cared for, and this can only bo done by the expenditure of money In tho employment of laborers to go into those fields and work constantly und continuously to reap what has been sown. If we ever expect to reallzo tho hope of planting our banner In every county of this great commonwealth, wo must make suitable appropriation to carry on the work In a strong, vigorous and enthusiastic maimer. No enterprise, no fraternity, can succeed without the earnest and cordial co-operation and ef. fort on the part of nil Interested to pro mote Its welfnre and ndvance Its Inter ests. Wo have endeavored to enlist in tho work ot organization, every member ot tho order, and labored earnestly and zealously for tho extension of our causo everywhere. The executive committee, by virtue of authority of the stuto camp, once again offered the liberal premium of $j0 to the member or members who would organize a new camp to bo composed of not less than twenty-tlve members on tho night of Its- Institution. This liberal offer has been productive of much good, but it has not succeeded in doing what live, active organizers, especially adapted for such work, might have done In the coun ties where wo have no camps, had suit able provision been made to carry on tills work and the committee been en abled to send such laborers Into the field as other kindred organizations aro doing. There are hundreds of our brethren who labor unceasingly, without uny desire of compensation or hope of reward, for tho extension and upbuilding of the order, but we cunnot expect, and hnvo no right to ask them to sacrlflco' their time und money, neglect their business, and work gratuitously for the advancement of our order. MUST EXPEND MONEY. Organization work to be effective must bo constant and continuous, and It sue- cess Is to bo attained It must not bo dono sparingly or In a stinted manner. In crease tho appropriation for this work and thus enable thoso who will havo it In charge to cany It on In a vigorous man ner, and send laborers to harvest the beeds ulready sown. An expenditure of money In this direction will bo tho means of helping us realize tho fond hope of seeing camp fires burning in every coun ty of this state, and tho Patriotic Order Sons of America leading tho van of nil organizations In Pennsylvania. A number of meetings ot tho State Executlvo committee have been held dur. Ing tho past year. These wero necessi tated by tho lame number of appeals,, petitions, ami requests from almost oery section of the state, Many of theso ap peals required and wero ghrn most care ful consideration, but a great number of them were trivial and gave cvldcnuo of a, woeful Ignorance ot the general laws of the order. The great majority of theso appeals were In relation to sick or funeral benefits, und many of them were so Imperfectly made that tho rxo. -' -.i.... r- ..-i n n.,.,t difficult to pans Judgmont upon them because of tho absence ot material facts, or cita tions from tho local Juws of tho tamps from whenco they were appealed, upon which a Just decision could bo rendered. So many and so Mirlcd halo been theso appeals that it has becomo almost a no clsslty for the state camp to adopt a uni form law for all , subordinate camps in relation to sick and futternl benefits and to estnblish a general form for appealing to tho stato executlvo committee. Tills Is Imperative nnd to tho consider ation of It I Invito tho stato camp, In order thnt nil appeals may be In duo form nnd proper shapo to bo acted upon by tho executlvo committee. Every member of tho commltteo hns labored earnestly nnd zealously to advance the in. terests of the order, and to faithfully dis charge tho duties of his respective of tlcc. Perfect concord and harmony luiB prevailed at every meeting and charac terized every endeavor Ijf the commltteo in their deliberations, nnd In their united effort to strengthen, build up and pro moto the generul welfare of tho order. To each and every member 1 deslro to ex press my full appreciation and thanks for tho uniform courtesies nnd manifold kindnesses ever extended to me, und tho hearty manner In which each one hns united with me in laboring for the ud. viincement of tho cause so dear to every heart. In the name of tho order, 1 desire to thank thoso district presidents who la bored to do nil they could for the ad vancement of the cause In their respect ive districts. All have not worked nor shown the zeal for Iho welfare of tho or. der that was expected of them, while some few, 1 regret to state, have dono absolutely nothing. Most all, however, havo labored constantly and continu ously with a. most commendable earnest ness and zeal. The efforts of all have not been crowned with the same results, as some havo been able to make a better showing In their districts than others, but the most conscientious work Is not al ways attended with success. ORATORICAL CONTEST. Since Its Institution this contest has been one of the most enjoyable features of tho stato camp, and from the number of entries and character ot productions for tho contest of this evening, I am pleased to announce that a greater Inter, est has been nwakened over It among the brethren than usual. Contests of this kind should bo more generally encour aged In every district throughout the state. Every subordinate camp should havo a similar contest umong Its mem bers during the year and thus eneouruge them to greater effort and enthusiasm In studying those objects of patriotic and historic value so that the characters th it have moulded our Institutions, tho faith that has sustuined them, and tho hero Ism that has preserved them may ever be kept beforo us. By thus cherishing and perpetuating the Inspiration of our American citizen ship, great good may be accomplished that will liuiie to tho benefit of tho en tire order. There are eight entries for the present contest, and all, save one. original productions ot exceptional merit. All are patriotic In sentiment and oharac ter, anil give evidence of much thought and careful preparation. The prizes are beautiful, gold, and "liver and gold med als, handsomely wrought, und especially designed for the occasion. They will bo valuable alike for their worth and as tokens of appreciation from the order for the ability they reward. 1 respectfully submit the following rec. oinmendutions for your consideration: First That the appropriation for or ganlzutlon work be Increased In order that tho stato executive committee may bo enabled to carry on the work more vigorously und, as occasion demands, to employ laborers specially qualified for the work to labor In those sections of the state where our order has not as yet gained a foothold. Second That the state executive com mittee for tho next year be directed to prepare a general form for appeals, and of local laws for subordinate camps which shall be printed and a copy of tho same sent to every subordinate camp so that all amendments (n the different lo. eal laws now In force may be made to conform to this general form, nnd that all local laws hereafter adopted by subor dinate camps shall conform to this gen eral form In order that theie may be mil. formlty In all local laws of subordinate camps. Third That the delegates this year elected to the national camp by this state camp be Instructed to vote for and use all honorable means to secure their adoption by the national camp, the va rious amendments to the general laws of tho order heretofore recommended by the state camp of Pennsylvania, and to vote to reduce the per capita tax to the national camp. Fourth That a delinquent commltteo be nppolnted by every subordinate camp to look after delinquent members of their respective camps and use every effort to prevent the dropping of members from the rol's of the .'amps for non-payment of dues, and thereby avert tills constant menace to the growth of our order. Fifth Thnt the Camp News be con. lined as the official organ of our order, and that a suitable appropriation be made for that purpose. Sixth That tho subordinate camps unite with the camps In their respective districts In holding a series of public meetings so that tho general public, may become acquainted with the objeots, ends and alms ot the order, nnd public senlment thereby created In Its favor, and the brethren be awakened to a deep er Interest hi Its welfare. Seventh That the principles of our gov ernment and the duties of citizenship be made tho subjects of discussions in the meetings of the suboralnate camps, so that every member may fully understand the rights, privileges and duties of that citizenship, and at alt times discharge thoso duties us becomes an American cit izen. LOOKING INTO THE PL'TPHK. Stundlns on tho threshold of a new year, we look Into tho futuro with confi dence und hope, With firmer faith we hull tho comlnjf year with joyful antici pation. What Its harvest shall ho will depend entirely upon the zeal, vluor, and work of our mighty brotherhood. For three yeais I havo been honored us stato nresldcnt of our older. Earnestly and devotedly I hr.ve labored to discharge the responsible duties of that hlsh office and at all times work for the advancement of the causo so dear to us all. My hum ble efforts have not been crowned with the success for which I aimed, nor has all been nocompltshod thnt was so earn estly desired and for which I have la bored uncenslncly. and yet I feel Hint I have done my best to udmlnittcr tne trust reposed in me, nnd from the seed that has been sown, tho enthusiasm that has beeui awakened, ai.d the patriotic spirit that is abroad, I conlldently ex pect the jesult of tho work of next year to surpass that of tho present. Let us then press on with renowed zeal! Glorylntr In the past, with fond hope and full faith, work for tho future, vowlnc a deeper consecration to the principles wo cherish, let us move forward ready for service to (!od and to our count! y. No nation has ever been called upon so expressly as this to mnko man proud of himself us man. Wo must bo vigilant and actlvo nnd nllve to every patriotic duty, if we would help our country dis charge tho ereat responsibility to which Provldenco seems to havo assigned It. It Is heaven Inspires the task before us. God calls us to tho front. Oh, America! Oh, my beloved country! Uehold the nlorloiiH triumphs before thee! The pulses of tho mlshty are throbbing In thy veins. When all theso thlnes are taken Into consideration, we should feel that It is our bouiiilcn patriotic duty, a duty be. loiiKlns to every American, to tnke a live, actlvo and devoted Interest In everything thnt concerns tho welfnre, ulory 'ind honor of his country.
