It Was Shown at Last Night's Meet- ing of Board of Control That 339,013.86 Is Due Board. The fact was brought to the surface at last night's meeting of the board of control that Just $39,013 S6 Is still owing the district from delinquent school tax collectors for the years be tween 1877 and 189S Inclusive. This information was contained in a letter sent In bv Controller Howell In response to a request from Presi dent Javne. The conti oiler also sent in a list of all the collectors and the various amounts they still owe the district. A perusal of this list, which Is printed further down, shows that several of the collectors owe amounts considerably over $2,000. On motion of Mr. Gibbons last night the matter was referred to the finance committee of the board In conjunction with tho attorney. The members of the committee were Instructed to take such legal steps as they may deem necessary for tho iecoery of the money.

Emll Bonn. Tlectham'e "blues." Pills will dispel the OPINIONS IN THREE LACKAWANNA CASES WERE HANDED DOWN BY THE SUPREME COURT. Judge Edwards' Opinion in the Poor Board Case Was Affirmed, hut Un til the Opinion Arrives it Will Be Impossible to Say Just What the Effect of This Decision Is The Important Case of Jermyn Against M'Clure Passed Upon. At Philadelphia vesterday the su preme court handed down opinions In three Lackawanna county cases. Tho one of most general Interest Is that of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ex. rcl. John R. Jones, district attor ney, agaln3t Frank L. Dltkert, proceed ings brousht by John J. Murphy to test tho right of Prank L.'DIckert to the office of poor director in the South ward district, by appointment of Judge Archbald. Judge Edwards handed down th opinion of tha Lackawanna county court August 14, 1S99, declaring that the offlco of poor director In the Scran ton poor district Is elective under the act of assembly of Pennsylvania April 9, 1862. He further decided that in cases of vacancy the president Judgs of the courts of common pleas of Lack awanna county is the proper authority to fill said vacancies and that thero was a vacancy In said office when Mr. Murphy was elected In February, 189S, and therefore F, L. Dlckert was law fully holding said office. Me still further decided that th supplemen tary act of 1866, under which the presi dent Judgo claims power to appoint to fill vacancies is constitutional. Tho supieme court has affirmed this opinion, but until the full text of said opinion is at hand It Is difficult to tell Just what this decision definitely means. If nfflrmed In Its entirety then the office is elective and the question concerning Mr, Dlckert and Mr. Mur phy's respective claims to the said office are still open, for the reason that Mr. Murphy was elected In February, 1899, the proper time for election ac cording to the opinion of the local court. MATTER OF ELECTIONS. The question of whether or not It is possible to hold a valid election for the office owing to the change of tho election laws and the modifications ot the election districts of the old South ward were not decided by the local court, but simply tentatively thrown out. This question Is, however, squarely before the local court In quo warranto proceedings instituted by Mr. Murphy on the strength of his election-In the spring of 1899 and was before the court for hearing at February argu ment court, but was continued until April argument week by Judge Ed wards to await the decision of tho su preme court In the matter pending there. Since the commission did not except to that part of the local court's opin ion wherein it decided that the office Is elective, It Is possible that the higher comt did not consider this point at nil and may have dealt only with the constitutional question raled. This would leave the all Important right of the people to elect their poor directors htlll undecided by the court of last resort. In affirming tho judgment ot tho lower couit It Is probable that tho supreme court corsldered all matters before It. The case of Jetmjn & Company against Elliott. McClure & Company, was one of the biggest coal suits that ever went before the supreme court. Tho amount Involved was more than $100,000. The Importance which the at torney attached to the case Is evi denced, In a way, by the fact that the appellants' paper book contains 9br pages. Tho report of the master and the opinion of the chancellor take up ninety and thirty-eight pages respec tiv ely. PRIMARY QUESTION. The pilmary question in the case was whether or not a parol exchange of land had been made. The land In question Is located In what was for merly Old Forge township, In the lo cality known as the Sibley. Jermyn & Company were mining from the louth Fide ot a stream known as St John's brook. Elliott, McClure & Com pany operated from the north side ot the btook. Each party owned coal on the side of the brook opposite to that on which he was operating. Elliott, McClure & Company In 1887 began min ing coal from the Jermyn tract. Some years later Jermyn & Company oidered them to stop. Mr. McClure called on John Jermyn and called his attention to an oi al agreement by which Elliott, McClure & Company was to enter upon this property. Mr. Jermyn denied the agreement, as it was stated bv Mr. McClure, and bi ought suit to recover In equity court for the coil alleged to have been unilghtfully mined from his propertv. The alleged oral exchange took place May 21. 1SS7. At that time the An thracite Coal company owned the coal land In that vicinity now operated by Mr. Jeimyn and he was the company's genet nl manager. He attempted to mine the disputed coal tiact, but gae It up as unpiofltable, and when Mr. McClure offered to take It In exchange for land on tho other side of the creek, more convenient to the Pennsylvania Anthracite compan's openings, Mr. Jemn, as general manager, approved the Idea, It was claimed, and accom panied Mr. McClure to New York to Interview President Potts. There the alleged exchange was effected and lat er Mr. Jermyn Is alleged to have ad mitted, that he undeistood tho terms to be Just as Mi. McClure contended. CAUSE OF DISPUTE. What these terms were Is where the dispute conies in. The defendants said they gave seventeen acres of good coal for something over 100 acies of good, bad und 'Indifferent coal. Mr. Jermvn denied, this, but admitted he allowed the defendants to mjno from a ceitaln part of the plot of forty acres on con dition that they pay the royalty. Mr. Potts, the third party, had died In the Interim. The defendant company showed nt the time that Jermyn & Co. mlnod from this sevenleen-acre tract. Jcr myn & Co. admitted this, but claimed It was dona by mistake. The case was referred to W, W. Lathrop as master In July 8, 1893, and he had It In hand nearly a year. Hla finding was that while theio was evi dence of a paiol exchange of land there was a misunderstanding between the parties and the evidence was not sufficient to take the case out of the operation of the statute of frauds. He found In favor of Jeimyn & Co. for the 4 amount of coal owned by them und 5o11Tg5 ACTS SENTIY .Q , SU.

This amounted to W900 4L Judge Archbald t evened the master and said that there was not sufficient evidence to support the parol agree ment and entered a decree dismissing tho plaintiff's bill with costs. This Is now alltimed by the supreme couit. Wlllard, Wniren & Knapp and ex Jiulgo A. O. Furst. of Bcllefonte, were nttorneys for Elliott, McClure & Co. The plaintiffs' attorneys were S. U. Price, I. H, Burns and TeUssell Dlm mick. THE CARTER CASE. The third case was that of Jesse S. Carter, administrator, of Jesse Stewart, sr deceased, against Michael Miller, George Ivlnback, Andrew R. Raub and Theodore O. Wolf and Everett War ren, surviving executors of Benjamin Throon, deceased. The action was to recov er on a bond given by Dr. Thomas Stewart, one of the executors ot Jesse Stewart, sr., deceased, to insure a true accounting of his father's estate. It was in the sum of $15,75j2 98. The Jury assessed the damages to the plaintiff at $9,8001?. The defense was ot a technical na ture. The first ground was that tha plaintiff's bond had but one surety, where two are required. The second was that tho action was barred by the statute of limitations, not having been prosecuted within seven years. Judge George S. Puidy, of Honesdale, who specially presided In the cae, decided against both these contentions. The Haslern Trust company, the single surety In question, was sufficient, the Judge says, as it was only an immater ial variation from the form preset Ibed, should not vitiate any proceeding In which It is used. With reference to the question of limitation, he says, the act provides that it shall not be applicable to an original administration bond. M. W. Lowry and E. C. Newcomb were counsel for the appellants, Major Warren also appearing In the interests of the Throop estate. The appellees were represented by Welles & Torrey. FUNERAL OF R. W. KELLOW Many Beautiful Floral Offerings Told of the Begard in Which He Was Held. The funeral of the late Richard W. Kellovv took place from the family res idence at 1614 Monsey avenue, yester day afternoon at 4 o'clock.
