APPEAL HAS BEEN TAKEN.
City Not Satisfied with Judge Arch
bald's Ruling.
City Solicitor Vosburg has taken
an appeal to the supreme court from
the t'tilitiK of Judge Archbald !n the
case of Hannah Levers against tin city
of Scranton. It will bo renifmberei'
that tho property of the defendant Is
located at the corner of I.v'nyetU
street an I Decker's court. A -'owe
uas'put In both streets und the i lly
endeavor d to collect two sowe." rsscss
nicnts. The case was tuken to llw
local co'tit and Judge Arohbila derid
ed that the city could not collect two
assessments.
Tho supreme court has already de
cided that two assessments can bo col
lected and unless the Judges wish to
reverse their former decision they will
undoubtedly sustain the city's appeal.
Tho United States supreme court has
decided on one occasion, It Is under
stood, that such a collection cannot
be made.
City Solicitor Vosburg stated yes
terday that while the collection of two
assessments might not seem fair at
llrst glance, still some standard had
to be set, as no absolutely perfect sys
tem of taxation has yet been devised.

BEN JOHNSON'S ASH WAGON.
Caused Much Comment Yesterday
Among Men About Town.
If there Is a city ordinance prohibit
ing the hauling over the streets of
allies In such vehicles as the one used
by Hen Johnson yesterday, the authori
ties should enforce it without delay.
For several blocks the contents of
the wagon were strewn along the pave
ment and It was only through the
most fortunate circumstances that the
rear wheels did not fall fiom :ho axle.
First one und then the other would
drag along tho asphalt and on Lacka
wanna avenue several narrow escapes
were recorded from colliding with
street ears.
When Franklin uvenuo was reached
one of the wheels gave way and the
vehicle was drawn on tho other three.
The driver sat unmoved on the soat,
unmindful of the somewhat perilous
position ho occupied.

To John Courier Morris. John Penman

regard to tho payment of costs by tho
county In mUdemeanors, I nm satisfied
that the county Is primarily liable lor the
payment of, and rhould pay. the costs of
prosecution upon tho termination of tho
prosecution, which said prosecution may
be terminated In either of thwo ways:
First Hy tho bill of Indictment being
ignored by the grand Jury.
Second By ti verdict of a Jury and sea
teneo of the court.
The sentence of tho court Is necessary
In the second mode only.
In regard to tho payment of witnesses.,
the county shall only pay the costs of
such witnesses as tho district attorney
shall certify were subpoenaed by his or
der und wero In Mittendnnro and neces
sary to the trial of the ease. This lia
bility began in 1SS7 by virtue of net of
assembly of May 1!. 1s7. P. L. 1? Which
act of assembly was Interpreted by Jus
tice Mitchell (Supreme rourt) by opinion
In Allen vs. Delaware Co.. 181 Fa. Slale,
page CiO, etc.. fully sustaining this opin
ion. Yours tiuly, II. L. Taylor,
County Solicitor.
In paying thc&o claims, however, It
Is the Intention of tho commissioners
to scrutinize every bill carefully and,
where there Is any appearance of un
warranted charges, the claimant wit'
be called in and made to prove his
claim or suffer It to be reduced to
what the commissioners consider a
reasonable limit.
Arguments in an Equity Suit.
Arguments were heard yesterday bo
fore Judge Edwards In the equity suit
of J. D. Perl:, assignee and trustee of
the estates of Henry J. and Frederick
Kunz. for the benefit of their creditors,
against Spruits Brothers. W. S. Diehl
and Hon. John P. Kelly appeared for
the plaintiff and T. P. Hoban for the
defendants.
The plaintiff claims that on June 14.
IS!)7. Kunz Brothers, contractors and
builders, of Wlnton, while Insolvent,
transferred their book accounts and
other property- to the defendants,
thereby preventing other creditors
fiom recovering their claims. The de
fendants deny that there was any col
lusion or fraud and say that the Judg
ment note of $4,000 on which they seized
the Kunz Brothers property was given
to cover an account of $3,100 which wn
owing them from the Kunz Brothers.
The plaintiff claims the property wus
valued at $9,000. The defendants say It
was only worth $1,52.).
Union Man Sued for Libel.
W. E. Gilhool, proprietor of Oilhool's
carriage works, Instituted a suit yes
terday against Thomas A. Potter, sec
retary of the Carriage Trimmers'
union, to recover $.',000 for libel.
In an affidavit filed "by Mr. Oilhool's
attorney, Joseph F. Gilroy, It Is al
leged that on March 14, 1000, Secretary
Potter composed and published the
following libel: "He (meaning Gilhool)
has discharged all union men In his
employ without paying them their Just
dues," by which, it Is averred, Secre
tary Potter meant Mr. Gilhool was un
friendly to union labor and sought to
bring him Into disrepute.
The alleged libel was contained In a
letter sent to one of Mi Oilhool's larg
est customers. It Is claimed by Mr.
Gilhool that similar letters were sent
to other customers. A capias for Sec
retary Potter's arrest was placed in
the hands of the sheriff last evening.
Ball Is required In the sum of $1,000.
Got Twisted in the Twisting.
In throwing silk the thread on one
kind of spool Is thrown to the right
and that on another kind qf spool is
thrown to the left. H. llcnard & Son,
throwsters, were employed by the
Lackawanna Silk company to throw a
number of bales of silk valued at $1,000
In the raw state, instead of throwing
the one kind to tho right and the other
kl.id to tho left. It Is alleged they
threw the other kind to the right and
the one kind to the left and thereby
caused :',9Tl"s yards of crepe de chine,
woven from this twisted twist, to bo
sold at a loss of $1,840,07.
The weaver yesterday sued the
throwsters to recover this amount, a.
trespass suit being the form of action.

HEAVY SNOW STORM.
It Set in Before Noon Yesterday and
Was Still at It At 2 O'clock
This Morning.
What our rural relatives are pleased
to term a "sugar snow," because of
its tendency to stimulate the run of
maple sap, began shortly before noon
yesterday and ut 1 o'clock this morn
ing had piled Itself six Inches high
on the level throughout till the region
round.
Wllkes-Barro reported a full foot:
Blnghamton said five Inches in re
sponse to the Tribune's Inquiry and
along tho line of the Lackawanna as
far us Washington. Is. J., the reports
had It from eight to twelve Inches
deep. Only a light wind accompanied
the fall and the steam roads In conse
quence had little worry except over
possibilities. The midnight trains came
through on good time and the dis
patcher's office said tho later trains
wore not far behind their schedules.
It was different, though, In the city.
Along towards 9 o'clock p. in. tho trol
ley cars found it Just barely possible
to get over grades and two hours later
It was Impossible for them to beat a
wall., except going down hill.
On the long runs the late cars were
practically stalled. The only way they
could make any progress was in fol
lowing one of the big sweepers und
these, with all their power, had no
easy time In making appreciable head
way. Men were kept at work all night
running the sweepers and working In
the broom and shovel brigades, but
their efforts availed little, owing to
the great number of miles of tracK
and the fuct the storm kept working
overtime, too.
The trolley company's office cheer
fully said at an early hour this morn
ing that everything would be all right
by daybreak. "Snow and sleet all day
Friday" is what the weather bureau
prognosticates at midnight.
INDEPENDENT COMPANIES.
Organisation of Telephone Corpor
ations to Be Attempted.
S. E. Wayland, the general manager
of the new Lackawanna Telephone
company of this city, and also of the
Peoples' Telephone company. of
Wllkes-Barre, Is making art effort to
have the Independent telephone com
panies of this state organized Into an
association so that a long-distance
system may be established.
With this end In view he has sent a
circular letter to the ofliclols of every
Independent company In the state ask
ing them to attend a meeting in Har
rlsburg on April 10 for the purpose of
forming such an association.
Other matters of mutual concern,
such as taxation and state legislation,
will also be discussed at the meeting.
NO BASE BALL FOR SCRANTON.
Efforts to Establish an Atlantic
Team Here Abandoned.
Scranton will not be lepresented In
the Atlantic league of base ball clubs
this season unless out!de capitalists
can be induced to establish n team
here.
That fact was announced yesterday
by M. E. Sanders, who has been Inter
estlng himself along that line for sev
eral weeks. He notified President
Fogel yesterday that he will not at
tend the meeting In Allentown today
and has abandoned the canvass for
subscriptions.
Altogether pledges were secured for
$1,300 towards -the support of a team
In this city, but that Is not sufficient
to Insure its success.
