Judge-Gorman Fight Called to His
Attention by Endeavorcrs.
The Judge-Gorman fight scheduled
for next Monday night nt Music hall
will not bo allowed to take plac, Sher
iff I'rvor says.
Ho received notice yesterday from
Ilev. O. W. Welsh, president of the
City Christian Kndeavnr union, that
tho light was announced t take placo
nnd that it was the duty o tha sherllf
to prevent it. Tho notice was us fol
lows: Mr. C. K. I'ryor, Sheriff Lackawanna
County.
Dear Sir: The Scranton Christian Kn
dcavor union desires hereby to call your
attention to a 20-round boxing contest
advertised to take place in Music hall,
next Monday night, Sept. IS.
Tho proposed contest is In direct viola
tion of tho Act of Assembly of March 11,
ISO!, sections 1 and 2. The Scranton
Christian Kndcavor union aforesaid, re
spectfully rqucsts, therefore, that you
exerclso the power In you vested and as
directed by the said Act of Assembly
"when Informed that a prize fight box
ing match Is about to take place' and
prevent thu taking place of the said box
ing contest.
The union has reason to believe that tho
proposed boxing" contest Is merely nn at
tempt to rcsumo tho condition of affairs
which existed last year, and to which
an end was put by the exerclso of your
authority as sheriff of Lackawanna
county. Very truly yours,
Itov. G. W. Welsh,
President Scranton Christian Kndcavor
union.
Sheriff Pryor says there Is nothing
left for him to do but stop the light.
The law Is very clear on the subject
and lie must uphold tho law.
The sporting fraternity made an at
tempt to have tho law repealed at thu
last session, but the Christian En
deavorcrs, headed by C. K. Daniels,
attorney for the Scranton City union,
succeeded in having the repealing act
withdrawn.
THE NEW STREET RAILWAY.
One of Its Purposes Is to Improve
Suburban Property.
Willie the terminal of the new line to
Nay Aug park proposed by the Nay
Aug Park Street Hallway company Is
to bo tho Speedway, it will eventually
run to Elmhurst. One of the principal
effects of the now road will be the im
provement of the different tracts of
building properties along Its routo.
These include Reynolds Hros.' large
tract on tho brow of the mountain and
Colonel Watres' tract, on which he in
tends to build a beautiful home. The
faro to bo charged has not yet been
llxed.
The lino running from the Intersec
tion of Colfax avenuo nnd Linden
street will be used as a belt line to Nay
Aug park and the extension running
from Franklin to Spruce, to Mifflin, to
Vine will be used as a feeder to both
the Nay Aug and boulevard lines.
The bridge to be built over Roarlner
Brook will be nt a sufficient distance
above the falls to avoid tho marring
of tho beauty of the scenery. In order
to do this tho company will be placed
at a great deal of extra expense.

OPERATORS' RIGHT
TO ROB PILLARS
QUESTION INVOLVED IN A SUIT
FROM BUNMORE.
Pftrtles Who Purchased Lots from
the Spencer Coal Company Want
the Company Enjoined from Re
moving the Pillars Underlying the
Tract Interesting Contentions on
Both Sides Guardian Sues to Col
lect Money for His Wards The
Jones Wnnt $15,000 from the
Traction Company.
A suit involving n question of vast
Importance to the anthracite regions
was heard, yesterday before Judge Ed
wards in equity court.
It Is the suit of Dennis McDade and
others against A. D. and F. M. Spencer,
of the Spencer Coal company, and the
important question Involved Is what is
meant by tho term "mining" us it ap
pears on tho statute hooks.
The Silencers control 205 ncres of coal
land in Dunmore. They have sold most
of the surface for bidding purposes and
much of It Is built up. They have also
mined nearly all tho coal and now pro
pose taking away the pillars,
. Tho plaintiffs claims nnd tho defen
dants do not deny that if the pillars
are removed the surface is in danger of
settling, which would cause great dam
nge to the properties of the plaintiffs.
The suit Is brought to prevent the com
pany from removing1 the pillars.
The defense is based on a clause In
the deeds convoying the surface prop
erty trom the coal company to tho
purchasers. This clause reserves the
coal ond provides that the company
may mine It "by nny subterranean pro.
cess, without thereby Incurring any
liability for injury cnused or damage
done to the surface of said land or to
buildings or Improvements."
Having accepted the deeds containing
this clause, It Is held by the company,
that the plaintiffs have no redress
for damages nnd no right to Interfere
with the defendants operations.
The plaintiffs claim that this clause
does not exempt tho company from the
general law, prescribing that mining
shall bo conducted with n proper re
gard for the safety of the surface nnd
would have the court Interpret the res
ervation clause to mean that tho com
pany Is exonerated from any damag?
that may result from tho "proper"
mining of coal, or mining conducted
"with proper regard for tho safety of
tbo surface."
The pillars, which the company in
tends to remove, contain coal ofthe
estimated value of S2,0,0n0.
T. II. Burns appeared for the plain
tiffs The defense was represented by
W. J. Hand, E. C. Newcomb and J. E.
Burr
Titts Goez Wants to Know.
Tltts Qocz yesterday brought suit
against the Old Forge Greek Catholic
Society of Saint Michael the Archangel,
of the Greek Catholic Union of Amer-l-i
(Inez is guardian of his nieces and
they are named as part beneficiaries
in an insurance policy which their
father held In that organization. The
society paid the wife her share, but
refused to settle with the children, al
leging that it was against the rules of
their society to pay benefits to minors.
Mr. Gocz does not want his wards to
bo compelled to wait for tho money till
they come of ago and proposes to find
out if the decrees of the Orphans' court
of Lackawanna county are not superior
to the rules of the Old Forge Greek
Catholic Society of Saint Michael the
Archangel of the Greek Catholic Union
of America. E. C. Newcomb is attor
ney for the plaintiff.
They Seek $15,000 Damages.

torneys, E. C. Newcomb and Dalbys L.

TEXT BOOK FIGHT
IS FELT IN FELL
DIRECTORS WERE INDUCED TO
DO IRREGULAR THINGS.
At Least Such Is Alleged by a Com
mittee of the Good Citizens of the
Township In Direct Opposition to
tho Law They Mado a Change of
Books More Than Onco in Three
Years, and Failed to Consult the
Teachers in Selecting the Books.
Injunction Is Granted.
Fell township has also felt tho ef
fects of the life and death struggle
between the American Book trust ond
the Independent companies, whloh It
will be recalled kept the Scranton
school board In a perturbed condition
for u couple of months of the past sum
mer. Unlike the Indifferent taxpayers of
Scranton, the Fell people havo kept a
close watch on the book agents and tho
school board and when the latte-, or
the former, or maybe both, proceeded
to do tilings Hint did not appear right
In the eyes of the citizens a commit
tee sot out to havo the supposed wrong
lighted. The consequence Is tint the
school board of the township Is before
tho court with some charges of gross
Irregularities to explain away.
The free text book law says that tho
school board may change tho stylo of
text books once In three years under
certain conditions. One of these con
ditions Is that the teachers of the dis
trict shallflo consulted in the selec
tion of the books, f
. In 1S'J7 and again In 189S certain
books were adopted for use In the Fell
schools, yet, so It is alleged, tho school
board on Aug. 7 last made a complete
change in the district's text books,
arranging with E. A. Delaney, of Olnn
& Company, New York, that his llrpi
shoulds furnish all tho books needed by
the district for a period of three years,
the first year's supply to cost $1,500
This, Irregular as it was In Itself, was
made the more Irregular by tho fail
ure of the board to consult tho teachers
of the district. That tho district a
teachers were not consulted Is shown
by the fact that the district had '.o
teachers at the tlmo the contract for
the books was made, the annual elec
tion of teachers not being held until
twenty-two days after the book con
tract was entered into.
The school board Is composed of John
Mooty, James Henning, Edward
Henley, James Ward and Nathaniel
Davis. The citizens who are acting
as plaintiffs are Nicholas Glynn, An
drew Moran and John J. Coughlln.
Their attorney Is II. C. Butler, of Car
bondale. Judge Edwards granted a prelimin
ary Injunction, returnable Wednesday
morning, to estop the operation of the
contract.
