THREE EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT CASES
SUPRHME COURT WILL HEAR
THEM IN FEBRUARY.
Tho Decision of tho State's III ghost
Tribunal with Reference to tho
Cases Will Ilavo a Far-Iteaching
Effect In Each of Them Import
ant Constitutional Questions Are
Involved Two of tho Cases Arc.
Being Re-Argued nt tho Request of
the Members of tho Court.
Three of tho most Interesting nnd
far-reaching cases that will bo argued
before tho state Supreme court next
year wlh bo Lackawanna county cases.
In nil three of tho cases important con
stitutional questions arc Involved. That
tho court considers them of first Im
portance Is demonstrated by the fact
that In two of the cases re-arguments
have been ordered. All three eases will
bo heard during Lackawanna county
week at the Supremo court, which bo
glns Feb. 19.
The Lackawanna county list for that
week will bo headed by tho school
board case, which tho Supremo court
has ordered a re-argument of. This
case has In reality already had tluco
hearings before that body, tho Pltts
ton school board case, which embodies
exnetly the same facts, having boon
argued twice and the Scranton ca30
once.
The purpose of tho proceedings which
the Supremo court will be asked to pass
upon Is to deefdo whether or not. a
board of twenty-one members Is legal.
If It Is not, then tho district must bo
satisfied with a board of six. The de
cision of tho Supieme court will bo
affected largely by what Justice Brown
and Justice Mcstrczat think about tho
proposition. It Is generally supposed
that tho court at present Is evenly di
vided as to the merits of tho case nud
therefore ordered a re-argument before
a full bench.
Sl'PPOSED TO BE AGAINST.
The two new Judges will take their
seats the first of the year, and here
abouts there Is an Impression that they
will not look with favor on the large
board and consequently there Is a re
newal of Interest In the selection of
members of tho board of six at tho
spring election. Chief Justice Sterrltt,
who retires from tho bench tomorrow,
was generally believed to favor tho
large board.
Tho John Gibbons contempt rase will
also have a re-argument before the
Supremo court In February. When this
case was argued late last spring tho
Judges were evidently so much Im
pressed with the belief that Mr. Gib
bons was guilty of contempt that after
his attorney had concluded his argu
ment they decided not to hear from tho
opposition. .
A more extended consideration of the
case evidently caused the members of
the court to change their minds. They
saw they were confronted by a grave
constitutional question that would be a
precedent and have a great influence
on tho conducting of elections In this
state In tho future and tliey decided to
get additional Information on the sub
ject before giving their opinion.
The third Important Lackawanna
county case will bo an appeal from tho
decision of Judge H. M. Ed wauls in
the poor board case. In the quo war
ranto proceedings brought In the name
of tho commonwealth by District At
torney John B. Jones, to test tho right
of tho present members of the board to
hold oillce, Judge Edwards decided that
the Act of 1SCC, which was attacked,
was constitutional. This vests In the
president Judge of the court the power
to appoint members of tho board.
AN ELECTIVE OFFICE.
The Judge's conclusions were that
under the Act of 1SC2 tho office was nn
elective one, but tho people having
failed to avail themselves of this privi
lege the president Judge was properly
exercising his nppolntlve power to fill
vacancies, as tho law provides.
Proceedings were then begun In the
name of John J. Murphy, one of the
members-elect, to oust Frank J. Dick
er!, the member appointed for the dis
trict Mr. Murphy was elected to rep
resent, and tho case Is still pending In
the local court.
To have the ease reviewed by tho
Supremo court during tho coming year
an appeal will be taken from tho opin
ion of Judge Edwards declaring con
stitutional the Act of 1SG6. If the Su
preme court decides ngalnst the local
court on this question, the poor board
falls back entirely on tho provisions of
the Act of 16C2, which vests the ap
pointing power In case of death, re
moval or resignation In tho hands of
the Judges of the court of quarter ses
sions. FUNERAL OF J. C. COON.

nnd committed to the county Jail.
Just after tho still was rallied some
two weeks ago Manley llsappeared
from Hawley. As that town Is in tho
eastern United States court district,
while Scranton Is In tho Western dis

notified of Mauley's disappearance.
Deputy Marshal Foster, of that cPy,
accordingly came on, but after a sev

him.
A few days ago Marshal Lowry

suasion nnd ho finally came.
He was taken before United Bta'.os
Commissioner George D. Taylor and
given a hearing on tho three charges
ngalnst him, namely, manufacturing
liquor without a permit, manufactur
ing liquor In n dwelling house and
selling liquor without paying revenue
thereon.
He made a few exeeuses about not
knowing tho law, but as a complc.o
copy of the revenue laws were found
In his possession, these didn't nmount
to much. Ho was held In $1,000 bail, in
default of which he was committed o
