TO KEEP THEM HERE.
Lackawanna's Colony In tho Peniten
tiary Will Be Decreased When
New Plan Goes Into Effect.
It Is now almost a certainty that
the prison board will take steps to In
auguiatc here the system In vogue In
some other counties of detaining long
term prisoners In the county ja-l, In
stead of sending them to the peniten
tiary. Judge Archbald, as president of tho
prison board, favois It and, as a law
yer, believes the scheme Is feasible
though this opinion was given off-hand
without a close examination of the
law bearing on the subject. The coun
ty commissioners and the sheriff, the
other members of the prison board,
nlso favor It and aro of tho opinio i
from their lay examination of the law
that there Is nothing to prevent Its
adoption.
At piesent there aro more Lacka
wanna prlsoneis In the Eastern pent
tontlary than there are Inmates of th
county Jail. Ordinarily, though, the
excess Is on the other side, but the
difference Is not so very great except
in the summer months, when the pop
ulation of the local bastlle Is Incieascd
by the court vacation and the Increas
ing additions to the number of pris
oners committed to await trial.
Sheriff Pryor says the county jail will
accommodate 350 prisoners. There nre
ninety there now, and It Is unusual
when tho number reaches 150. The
aveiage Is about 120. According to the
last report from tho penitentiary,
Lackawanna Is charged with elghty
flvo prisoners. This report wns up to
January 1, 1890. Since that time there
havo been four sessions of Criminal
court and each of them was product
ive of an average of half a dozen con
victs to swell tho local colony at the
"pen," while only four or five dis
charges have been reported.
Lackawanna's bill from the peniten
tiary for last year was J4.312.20 for
maintenance, plus $8,05 for extra cloth
ing and minus $535.q5 for earnings by
such of the prisoners as were worked.
The charge per day for each convict
Is 23 cents. At the county Jail the al
lowance to the sherif for keep and
care Is 23 cents n day for each pris
oner. In Lehigh county, with Its lim
ited market, the product of the labor
of seventy prisoners for last year was
$01210 A corresponding earning In
Lackawanna's larger Jail added to the
caving that would ensue In the Item of
transporting prisoners to the peniten
tiary, causes tho prison board to fe?l
that lhe new law, permitting tho em
ployment of convicts In nil county
prisons opns up a possibility of prac
ticing a big cennomv as well as Insti
tuting a humane reform.

A SNAP ELECTION
THAT DIDN'T WORK
JUDGE AltOHBALD'S DECISION
IN TAYLOR SCHOOL CASE.
Six TAylorltea Who 8oqurod rive
Votes Apieco for Themselves an
Controllers-at-Largo and Then
Wont Into Court to Oust Members
Who Had Previously Been Elected
as Ward Representatives, Havo
Their Troublo for Their Pains.
The Parr-Mullen Dispute.
When the returns of the spring elec
tion of ISOj were being counted It was
found that Jn the First waid of Tay
lor flvo votes had been cnBt for Pat
ilck W. .lealey, James P. Law, Ulrlch
Ifurger, Daniel Ollavarry, John H.
Neeloy nnd Qcorgo L. Timlin "for tho
oillce of school controller of Taylor
borough."
As Taylor had ten school controllers
ot the time, two from each ward, and
no notice having been given of any
vacancy to be tilled, much conjecture
ensued as to what the purpose of the
balloting In the Flist ward was.
'lhls eonjec.tuie was set at rest in a
few days, when Henley, Law and tho
others went Into couit with quo war
ranto proceedings to oust the six con
trollers elected Feb. 10, 1805, who,
with tho four old members of tho
board who held over, made ten repre
sentatives from the live wards Into
which the borough was divided short
ly after its creation.
BASIS OF ACTION.
The ground on which the petltloneis
based their action was that the con
trollers should be elected by a concur
rent vote ot tho whole borough, a3
controllers-at-large and not as mem
bers from wards.
Yesterday Judge Archbald handed
down an opinion dismissing the pro
ceedings and declaring that the present
board Is well In olhce and cannot bo
disturbed.
The plaintiffs alleged unconstitution
ality against the act of 1S71 and Its
supplements "providing for tho divi
sion of boroughs Into wards, and pro
viding for the election of school dis
tricts," which act was followed In
dealing with the organization of tho
municipal government of the new bor
ough of Taylor.
This allegation wns based on the
contention that it offends against Act
3 Section 7 of tho constitution, In that
It attempts to deal, at one and the
same time, with the subject of bor
oughs and of school districts, two
separate and distinct classes of muni
cipalities, which cannot be covered b
or embraced In a single enactment.
GONE FAR ENOUGH.
Judge Archbald says that Is un
bound reasoning. The formation of
tho school government Is consequent
upon the erection of wards and there
foie is appioprlately considered In the
same act. "This thing of wholesale
law-wrecking on technicalities has
gone far enough," Judge Archbald
says.
The order In the case reads as fol
lows: "Judgment Is given for the re
spondents on tho demurrer, that they
go without day, with costs."
Farr-Mullen Dispute.
The bill In equity In the line fence
dispute between John It. Farr and
Thomas 51ullen was yesterday dis
missed by Judge Edwards.
While tho plaintiff, in the llrst In
stance, presented a case warranting the
Issuing of a piellmlnary Injunction, tho
Judge says, the defense made Is of such
a character that he must be remanded
to his remedy at law. The plaintiff's
testimony being seriously disputed, the
case can not be dealt with In equity
but must go before a Jury.
- Common Pleas Court Ends.
In tho cose of Attorney E. II. Shurt
leff against Thomas Davis, the Jury re
turned a verdict In favor of the de
fendant. Mr. Shurtleff sued for a fee
of $2,000 for winning the Russell eject
ment suit nnd Incidentally a $75,000 coal
interest for tho defendant. The defense
was that It was a contingent fee and
that nothing has as yet been realized
on tho Judgment.
A- verdict of $124.17 was returned In
favor of the plaintiff In tho caso of
Goodman & Weiss against Andrew
Chaw anlcz.
No other cases being open, adjourn
ment was made for the week. Seven
teen cases were disposed of during the
week by Judges Archbald and Purdy.
I Company May Proceed.
An order making permanent the pre
liminary Injunction granted to restrain
the Borough of Aichbald from Inter
feilng with the Carbo"dale Traction
company. In Its work of narrowing the
guagoof Its tracks through that munlcl-, aloner requested City Solicitor Vos
pallty, was yesterday handed down by burg to furnish him with an opinion
Judge Archbald. 1 defining the city's powers In the prem-
n iien wie case camo up for hearing,
yesterday morning, Judge Archbald
said he could not see that there was
any merit In tho contention of the bor
ough that the company had to secure
permission fiom the borough to narrow
Its tracks, when It has a franchise "to
lay and maintain tracks not exceeding
five feet, two Inches In width."
The defense wanted to show that It
was not tho Carbondale Traction com
pany, but the Scranton Railway com
pany, that was doing tho work nnd
tht tho latter company proposed to run
Its cars over the line without the con
sent of tho borough. Court ruled this
offer out as being Irrelevant.
This left tho borough without a foot
ing, and when court made the Injunc
tion permanent, the defense asked that
final disposition be made, so that an
nppeal might bo taken at once. This
wns agreed to and done,
Tho plaintiff was represented by
Major Everett Warren and J. E. Burr.
II. J. Bouike and I. II. Burns appeared
for tho borough.

WAS IN BATTLE ON
ISLAND OF CEBU
INTERESTING LETTER FROM
WILLIAM ,T. BOYCE.
Tho Nineteenth Regiment Was Or
derod from Manila to tho Island of
Cebu nnd Immediately After Ar
riving There Wns Sent After the
Insurgents Uncle Sam'a Roys
Drovo Out the rilipinos and Took
Possession of Their Forts OHmato
nt Cebu Is nealthy.
Special Correspondence to The Tribune
'Cebu, Philippine Islands, Oct. S. I
have had my baptism of fire and can
now realize the sensations that sweep
over a man in battle. Our first en
gagement after leaving Manila was
near heio on September ":., and was
very successful. On September 12 two
battalions of our regiment, th- Nine
teenth Infantry, were oidored to leave
Manila for Cebu to relievo the Flr3t
Tennessee volunteets who had been or
dered home. Wo left Manila on tho
tiansport Indl'ina, the second battalion
going to Hollo, tha eapltal of the Island
of Panay. Tho Tennessee boys come on
with us. Wo arc the third battalion
nnd with the headqunrtcin nf the Nine
teenth regiment, under Colonel Simon
Snyder, who is now governor general
of this Island.
We arrived hero on September l? nnd
immediately wont In the old bai tacks
used by the Spnnlsh soldiers, rollovlng
me third battalion of the Tennessee
bovs, who went on board thp trnnnnorf
preparatory to going to Manila to get
ready to sail home,
Hut there good luck was soon
changed, for we wore all orderei' to
proceed to the mountains, a distance
. of eight miles, to tnko pait In actual
I warfare. The Tennessee boys were
, ordered oft the transport and went with
"" as ""'' wn! expected to lie one of
the hardest battles fought against the
rebels.
WENT WITHOUT A MUR5IUR.
Thp Tennessee boys went without a
murmur, and a good deal of praise Is
deserving that regiment for the faith
ful work they did In the battle of Cebu
on September 22. Colonel Chlldcrs is
a brave man, as well as a very cool
man, nnd the Tennessee boys nte to
be congratulated en having such a
colonel.
We left Cebu on September 21,
marching within twenty-flvo hundred
yards of the rebel forts, where we were
ordered to pitch our shelter tents. Wo
had Just got prepared for a good
night's rest when the enemy bgan to
fire on us and our tents were ordered
down, as they made too good a mark
for the Insurgents.
Fortunately no one wns Mt, as the
rebels are not very good shots as a
whole, but thoy succeeded In keeping
us soflittered, as norc of us were
nn-tlnus to go to our graves until wo
got a chance at them.
On the morning of September 11 wo
advanced to the valley r,f death, a
name given to the valley b"cause two
regiments of Spanish soldiers wero
lost there. We were then under a
heavy fire and about fifteen hundred
yards from the enemy. We advanced
very slowly nnd kept well under tho
,1 , 1.-.1 .: ...,.
had only one man killed and flvo
ivnnA f t,n i,ni srnt
Covey, of our company, who stood six
feet to my left. Ho was a brave sol-
dlcr and it sent a chill through our
company to see such a good man fall.
CLOSE TO THE FORTS.
We advanced during the day to with
in 300 yaids of the forts of tho enemy
and kept the firing up until 10 o'clock
that night, so we were under a con
tinual lire for thlrty-slx hours. But
during the night the enemy flew, no
that wo practically had nothing to do
but advance on the morning of the 23d
and take the forts. Two companies of
the Tennessee regiment were In the ad
vance, so they reached the forts first,
with our company next. It was under
th command of Lieutenant W. W.
