Dear Brothers: Heartfelt congrntu latlons lo dear Scranton and Itn people for tlio grand reception and hoapltable treatment accorded us on the occasion of our Labor day visit to your hustling and beautiful city. That day will always retain a place In our memories as one of the most on Joyablo of our lives, and we trust the day may not be long delayed when you may bo enabled to give us the oppor tunity to "net back at you." Unless you move quickly In this matter, you'll have the Hrooklyn pans; lnvndlns Scranton before you are aware of It. as some of the boys seem to have left their hearts there after them, and, of course, they are naturally desirous of knowing what care is being taken of them. Please convey our thanks to the ladles; to those who cheered us on our way along the line of march, ns well as to the ones who cheered and revived us nt Its termination. To nil, best wishes. What more can wo say than that? None could have done better, and we doubt If any other city could do as well. You people did certainly put up the real article In the way of a good time. So Impressed were we with beautiful and whole-souled Scranton that we have decided to, and are now perfect ing In this olTlce, nn organization to be called the "Scranton Club," whose main object Is to re-vlslt your city, nnd to take care of any and nil Scranton folks who mny honor our city by their presence. And now, dear brothers, we'll con clude, without saying anything like what we should, or what our hearts prompt us to, but with the hope that we mny In the near future give you n good, practical proof of our apprecia tion. Again thanking you, and pray ing for continued success to you In all your undertakings, we remain, Fraternally and gratefully, Frank ,T. Kertles, Fred W. Nash. Charles Gundlnck. Charles W. Costello. II. A. Cotter, For Committee. MR. VIDAVER'S OPINION. Ho Writes a Letter on the Dreyfus Case That Is Very Vidaveresquo. The following appeared In jester3ay's New York Journal: Editor of the New York Journal. I cannot understand why the supposed prominent Jews whose opinions you pub lished in yesterday's paper nncnt the boy cotting of the Paris exposition in the event of the e million of Dreyfus should attempt lo throw out the erroneous Im prccession that the Dreyfus affair is not largely a Jewish matter. In their wild endeavois to sink their Identity as Jews and take on the broader hue of American citizens they are fearful of admitting that the Dreyfus affair is of greater In terest to the Jews than any other people on earth, and attempt a liberality of ex pression which if diagnosed correctly might bo construed into pusillanimity. True, a question of Justice Is involved which interests all fair-minded men Irre spective of race or creed: but the ques tion at Ronnes might be resolved into the following propo-illlon: Shall a man be convicted of a criminal charge of which he Is Innocent because he Is a Jew? If I have stated the proposition correctly, why is not the Dreyfus affair one which concerns the Jews most? Should Dreyfus be convicted, It is the duty of every Jew who believes the con viction to be tho result of racial or re ligious prejudice rather than nn honest verdict dictated by the evidence to re main awny from the Paris exposition. The Jew who would venture where his presence will be greeted by silent con tempt deserve.;' It ten fold, and the Jew who Is continually making a bid for popu larity with the Christian neighbors' by in sulting bis own race de-serves the execra tion of his fellow Israelites. I am not a prominen Jew. but the Journal is so fair minded that I think it will publish the opinion of the ordin ary, evcrvdav Jew. who Is disinclined to lick the hand that beats him nnd who Is inclined to kick back when kicked.

Judge Edwards Called Upon Yester day to Hoar tho Story of How Two Property Owners in Capouse Are Trying to Got Rid of tho Noble Stream Rule on Cornelius Smith in the Cnso of Burke Against the Delaware and Hudson Company. Evidence Is being taken by Judge Edwards In the equity suit of George W. Finn ngnlnst P. P. Carter nmLoth ers, in which the plaintiff seeks to re strain the defendants from narrowing tho Lackawanna river at Capouse. The plnlntlff bought a tract of land on the west side of the river nt that point and cut it up Into building lots. The course of tho stream bends away from this plot nt Its southern extrem ity and the current In consequence brings the shore along the Finn tract, a condition of nffnlrs extremely unde sirable because of tho fact that tho plot Is likely to be gradually washed away. A long retaining wall on the oppo site side of the stream, which the de fendants have probably erected and which they propose to complete Is re sponsible In a great measure, the plain tiff says, for his building tract being mndo a buffer for tho current, and he Is In court endeavoring to have the wall done away with, alleging that It Is built on tho bed of tho river. The defendants admit they have a wall there but claim they have a right to put It there, tlrst, because it Is not on the bed of tho river, but on their own titled land, nnd second, because the foundation of the wall has been there for over twenty-ono years and whatever It covers or encloses 1b theirs by squatter rights. They strongly insist though that the wall Is not In the river bed. It was built years ngo at tho edge of their land to prevent the backing up of wa ter in time of freshets. Water courses against the wall, they admit, but allege that this Is due to the fact that the plaintiff on tho opposite side of the river built nn embankment that nar rowed the channel nnd causes the water to crowd over on their land and conse quently against their wall. A large raft of testimony was pro duced to establish the original lines of tho river. The ense was on. at ad journment nnd will be resumed this morning. J. W. Carpenter represents the plain tiff, and S. B. Price and J. E. Burr tho defendants. The ex-mayors who are wanted ns witnesses In the Arthur avenue case could not be secured yesterday and the matter went over until today. Rule on Cornelius Smith. Ex-Judge Jessup yesterday secured fiom Judge Edwards a rule on Attor ney Cornelius Smith to compel him to show cause why the case of Patrick Burke against the Delaware and Hud son company in which Mr. Smith rep resents tho plaintiff, should not be stricken from the trial list. The case was non-suited In 1S94 at the cost of the plaintiff. Without se curing permission of court Mr. Smith. It is claimed, had it dlscintinued. Then without paying the costs the cnse'wns renewed. The defendant demands that Its bill of costs In the original case amounting to $111 bo paid before thj case can again be allowed to remain on the trial list. He Wants to Know. Yesterday court granted a rule on Mary McDonough, William McDon ough, Anna McDonough, Celia McDon ough, Mrs. Ellen O'Hora, Richard O'Hora, 'Mario McCann and Barney MeCann, belrs-at-law of David Mc Donough, deceased, to comnel them to biins an notion of ejectment within six months from the time the rule Is served on them, to prove their claim to a lot of land at the corner of Chest nut and Shoemaker streets In Dun more, now In the possession of James Murray. Mr. Murray, who secured the rule, Is desirous of settling once and for all whether ho or the McDonough heirs own the property. Hon. J. C. Vaughan is his attorney. The Election Contests. Weber Kline.
