DUB FROM COLLECTORS.
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.

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

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.

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.

THE PARADE.
Tho parade was held here several jcars
ago nnd mil who saw It will recall the
magnificence oC the event and the ad
mirable precision with which everything
pertaining to It wns carried out. The uni
forms, the banners, the decorations, the
marching, tho bands. In fact, everything
wab of tho most delightful character, and
the people of the city vied with .nh
other lr) cLftcrtuinlng the knights from a
distance and showing them the various
attractions of Wilkes-Batrc. The citv
has grown Mnce then In population nnd
wealth, nnd when tho knights como here
from nil over Pennsylvania, Wllke-.-Barroins
will have nn opportunity to
again display that hospitality for which
tho city his earned a wide reputtution.
When the Knights Templar of Wilkes.
Barro start to do nnvthlng It Is nivcr
half done They have somo wonderful
organizers within their ranks, and some
men who have the faculty of grouping
details and adjusting them to ono har
monious whole. These men havo been
placed on tho various committees and
already havo the greater part of the
preparatory work completed. Quartets
havo beer, found for the visitors and when
each commandery arrives, it will know
Just whero to go. Bands have been se
cured, tho lino of march has been mapped
oat and the schemo of decorations Is so
far advanced that tho News Is enabled to
glvo It to Its readeis today.
WHkes-Bario has been beautifully dec
orated on numerous occilons In the

llttlo city of ours never looked go at
tractive as It will on the occasion of the
Knights Templar conclave In My. There
will bo no cheap arches covered with
flimsy bunting whoso colors will mergo
In ono hideous lcoklng streak It a llttlo
rain should fall, nor no llfo threatening
towers to block the streets. On the con
trary eer thing In the lino of decoin
tlcu will be substantial, beautiful to the
cje, and placed In bitch position as to
give entire freedom to travel. The urch
