CREIGHTOK & BIRCH
SUIT IS SETTLED
AMICABLE ADJUSTMENT OF DIS
PUTE REACHED.
Thin Is the End of Protracted Liti
gation Growing Out of tho Failure
of the Scranton Lace Company in
18D7 Case of E. " G. Worden
Against Kato Schwartz and Others
Is on Trial Beforo Judgo Kelly.
Meyers Slander Suit Settled nnd
Withdrawn.
The case of Creighton & Rlrch
against Stephen Chnppell was yester
day (fettled amlcubly before Judge Ed
wards, utter tlie jury had been called
and sworn. This ended the protracted
litigation connected with the failure
6t the lace company lu 1897.
At thnt time a Judgment was en
tered and the prop3rty advertised by
the sheriff nt the suit of Creighton &
Hitch, for about $62,670. Application
was mado by Stephen Chappell, a
stockholder, and It. A. Rlythe, of Phil
adelphia, who was a ct editor do tho
extent of $10,000, to opn this Judg
ment and set aside the execution on
tho ground thut' Creighton, who was
a director of the lace company, had
no right to obtain a preference over
other creditors, and that the Judgment
was fraudulent.
Tills application being refused by
this court, the case was taken to the
Supreme court, by which tribunal the
decree of the court below was rc
cised, and an Issue framed, on the
ground that the whole transaction
was presumptively fraudulent. This
issue was to have been tiled this week,
but Mr. Rlythe nnd Mr. Chappell ac
cepted thj terms of settlement, and
a verdict was taken forflhp plaintiff.
The plnlntlff was represented by Mr.
Wan en and Welles & Torrey, and the
defendant by A. A. Vosburg nnd Jo
seph P. McCullen, esq., of Philadel
phia. INCORPORATED IN MAY, 1891.
Tho lace company was Incorporated
In May, 1891, with an tlleged capital
of $260,000, and In tho same year this
was increased to $330,000 About $100,
000 of tho subscriptions was In ma
chinery furnished by the English par
ties who were Interested, and, when
In 1R93, adverse tariff measures went
through the company found itself in
deep water.
Creighton & Birch, Now York Job
bers, who were handling the output
of the factory, advanced money from
time to time to operate the factory.
To protect them the company set aslda
to them In pledge the machinery and
stock.
In 1S96 Creighton & Rlrch were ad
vised by counsel that the goods so
pledged as long as they remained in
the custody of the company, could be
seized by nny other ct editor. There
upon tho company passed a resolution
authorizing tho giving of a $75,000 bond
to the Lackawanna Trust and Safe
Deposit company, as trustee, to pro
tect Creighton & IJlrch. On this the
sheriff's sale was had.
Mr. Chappell, as a stockholder, and
Mr, Rlythe, as a creditor, sought to
have this judgment opened, alleging
that tho judgment was a fraudulent
preference secured by Creighton &
Rlrch, by virtue of the fact that one
of their number, Mr. Creighton, was
a director of tho company, then an
insolvent and falling concern.
JUDGE'S DECISION.
Judgo Archbald decided it was not
a fraudulent preference nnd made an
order discharging the rule to open
judgment. An appeal was taken to
tho Supreme court and a decision was
there made that the question of the
good faith of the transaction should
go to the jury.
Judge Kelly Is engaged in trying
Jointly the casesof E. G. Worden
against Kate Schwartz and others, and
E. G. Wcrden against R. Rosenfeld
and others. Mr. Worden made plans
for buildings being erected in Throop
for the defendants and also super
vised their construction, charging tho
usual 5 per cent, commission. They
tefused to pay more than $50 and he
filed a mechanic's lien for tht balance.
On this tlie suit Is based.
Th! defendants claim, In the first
place, that he agreed to do the worlc
for :,9. and in the second place, that
the mechanic's lien must fall by rea
son of the fact that the contract with
the builder guaranteed against liens,
and that at all events an architect
can not ille a lien for work done In
drawing plans. The defense contend
that there was no supervlslnc con
ti acted for or done. R. A. Zimmerman
represents the plaintiff. The defen
dants' attorneys are E. C. Newcomb
and George S. Horn.
In tho case of Wlnans .t Son ngalnst
J. F. McCawleV & Rros., a verdict
was entered for the plaintiff In tho
sum of $95.14.
SLANDER SUIT.
In the slander suit of Otto D. Myers
against his former partner, W. D.
Lawrence, u settlement w'as effected
by which the suit was withdrawn
upon the payment of $60 by the defen
dant to tho plaintiff.
The jury In tho case of John Re
noro & Son against Ferdlnando Arl
gonl returned a verdict of $113.33 In
favor of the plaintiff.
A verdict of $35.47 for the plaintiff
was returned in the cuse of Frank II.
Oakley against George W. Welland.
lly agreement, a verdict of $11 for
the plaintiff was entered In the caso
of O. M. Fletcher against M. E. Wor

THAT NAY AUG TOLL HOUSE.
Park Commissioners Want It Re
moved from the Park.
It Is very probable that the Elm
hurst Boulevard company will have a
deal of trouble on Its hands In the near
future, If a request mado by the paik
commissioners Is not granted. As
everybody knows, this company oper
ates the Elmhurst boulevard, which"
runs through Nay Aug ptfrk. Now,
there Is a toll houso on this boulevard,
on tho westerly side of the brldso
which spans the gorge. This toll houso
is what Is going to cause all the
trouble.
It Is generally conceded that it Is the
only toll house within the limits of a
public park In this country, nnd for
this and other reasons the park com
missioners want It icmoved. They be
lieve that people wishing to visit the
park should have the privilege of driv

ing through It, If they desire, without
paying toll, and with this end In view
they requested the olllclais of tho com
pany to remove the toll house farther
up tho road, beyond tho park limits.
This request was respectfully refused
by the said olllclais, whereat the park
commissioners looked about them to
see If the city has any legal redress,
and have made a most interesting and
probably valuable discovery. This Is
that the grant conferring the right of
way to the company says "that such
land is to be used only for a driveway,
bridle path, or 'cycle path, and for no
other purposes."
The commissioners are now securing
legal advice as to whether this clause
does not prevent the erection of nny
building on tho land, nnd If they find
that it does, ejectment ptoccedlngs will
be commenced against the company,
unless the toll house is removed.
COMMITTED TO JAIL.
Mrs. Joseph Visoley, Charged with
Shoplifting, and Her Father and
Mother Cannot Furnish Bail.
Mrs. Joseph Visoley, of Blair court,
North Scranton, and Adam Garlvlus,
her father, were arraigned before Al
derman Howe yesterday afternoon on
the charge of shoplifting, and were
committed to the county Jail In de
fault of ball.
Gailvius was held In $500 ball and
Mis. Visoley was held In $1,500 ball,
$300 on each charge, I. e., of stealing
from the Globe store, Goldsmith's
bazaar, Mears & Hagen's, Gerson'3
millinery and Jonns Long's Sons.
Mrs. Visoley and her father were
arrested Monday afternoon by Detec
tive Moir and iMounted Officer Block,
who searched the house, on the au
thority of a search warrant, Issued by
Alderman Howe, and who found
nbout $350 worth of dry goods In the
house.
These were yesterday Identified by
representatives of the firms mention
ed above as belonging to them. About
$100 worth of goods had been taken
from Jonas Long's Sons' store, Gold
smith's bazaar and the Globe, each.
From Gerson's store had been taken
ribbons and millinery, to the value
of $S and $9, and Mears & Hngen
Identified nbout $15 worth of goods.
At the hearing Attorney M. A. Mc
Glnley appeared for Mrs. Visoley.
Chief Robllng testified that he had
the search warrant Issued on Floor
Walker John MeConnell. of thp Globe
store, coming to him and telling of
the fact that shoplifting had been car
ried on In the store for some time
and they had reason to believe that
Mis. "Msolay was the guilty party, as
she had been seen wearing a light enpe
of peculiar texture which had been
taken from the store.
Detective Moir testified thnt he went
to the house and there met Garivius,
Mrs. Visoley being nut. The old man
had the kevs to all the closets nnd
rooms, which were locked, and only
surrendered them when he declared
he would break the doors open unless
they were opened. When Mrs. Viso
ley came in she was arrcstPd.
Floor Walker MeConnell, of the
Globe store; Solomon Goldsmith, of
Goldsmith's bazaar; Jacob Traugot, of
Gersons; W. II. Hagen, of Mears &
Hagen, nnd John C. Hawthorne, of
Jonas Long's Sons, appeared for those
dry goods concerns, and declared that
on cxumlnlng the goods at police head
quarters they had recognized them as
belonging to their firmj.
The aK-erman then fixed the ball,
and Attorney McGInley objected,
claiming that there were no grounds
for holding Garlvlus.
He was not In the house when tho
officers arrived there, but only entoied
later, and Mr. McGInley claimed that
the mere fact that he had the kevs
In his possession was not enough to
hold him, as it was not proved that
Garlvlus even lived In tho same house
with his daughter.

A MONUMENT FOR
FRANCES SLOCUM
HER MEMORY IS TO BE PER
PETUATED IN INDIANA.
When Five Years of Age She Was
Taken from the Home of Her Fa
rents by Members of tho Delaware
Tribe and Eventually Fell Into tho
Hands of the Mlamls Forty Years
Elapsed Before Tidings of Her
Reached Her People Then She De
clined to Return to Them.
Hero Is the story of little Frances
Slocum, who lived in Wllkes-Barre,
this state, In 177S, and who died In
Peru, Indiana, In 1S47.
Dotween those two dates she was ab
ducted by tho Indians, married an In
dian brave, begat children, became
queen of tho ttlbe, nnd died forgetful
of home, parents, or language of her
white biethrcn. And on Thursday
next, May 17, the Governor of Indiana,
the public functionaries and her great
grandchild, who Inherits Frances Sio
cum's ted hair, will gather around the
grave of the white queen of the
Miami Indians and will dedicate a
monument to her memory.
And so, after the lapse of almost a
century and a quarter, tho State of
Indiana will do honor to the memory
of the little Wilkes-Barre girl; and on
Thursday next, Just fifty-three years
after her bones were laid to rest with
all the weird Incantations befitting an
Indian burial, a minister of God will
read from the Book of Christ and give'
the mound of dust a Christian burial.
Little Frances Slocum was a child of
English parents and was born In War
wick, R. I in March, 1773. In 1778 her
parents moved to Wllkes-Barre, and it
was Just nbout this time that the Brit
ish had urged the Delaware Indians to
deal death and destruction to the
whites In the Wyoming valley.
CARRIED FRANCKS AWAY.
One day, while the father and broth
ers of little Frances were out hunting,
four Indians of the Delaware tribe
came sneaking through the woods to
the Slocum household. Two little boys
were playing on the front steps two
shots and down the little fellows fell,
Frances, who was In the garden, ran
screaming Into the house and hid un
der the stairway, her red hair almost
standing on end in terror and her D-year-old
heart beating like mad.
The Indians found her, and were for
killing her then and there. And then
It was that tho hair of little Frances
saved her life. The four Indians had
never seen a white woman with red
hair, and they were awed by the un
usual spectacle.
And so one of the Indians picked up
the child and carried her away on his
back.
For five weeks after the abduction
searching parties were on the go, night
and day, hunting for little Frances. Her
brothers went as far West as Detroit,
making inquiries for the little one, but
not a trace of the auburn-haired child
could they lind. In despair they re
turned to Wllkes-Barre, and the search
was given up.
And after ten years all hope was
given up of ever seeing their sister
alive. They mourned her ns dead, and
began a relentless war of extermina
tion against the Indian. Friendly, or
otherwise, It made no difference to the
Slocum boys no Indian could come
within a mile of them, and live to tell
the tale.
FORTY YEARS LATER.
Forty years after the abduction of
Frances Slocum, a trader, traveling In
the West, stopped at a lonely little hut
on the Miami reservation. Ills hostess
was a white woman who could speak
neither English nor French. All she
knew was the language of the Miami
Indians. That night, when the trader
sat by the fire, he bethought him of the
abduction of little Frances Slocum
forty years back. Ho tried to picture
his hostess as the red-haired little
girl and then In a flash tho thought
of his hostess' red hair convinced him
that he was face to face with the long-sought-for
girl.
The trader wrote to Wllkes-Barre,
giving such Information as was his,
and bidding her relatives, If any lived,
to come at once.
Three weeks later two brothers and
a sister of Frances Slocum went west
and Identified their long-lost relative.
They begged her to return homo with
them but she said and said it through
an Interpreter, for she no longer knew
the Ianguago of the whites:
"I cannot go with thee nay, I can
not. For I am an old tree. I cannot
move about. I was a young sapling
when they took mo away, but now
should you take me away I would
never come back to them who have
been good to me. Nay, I shall stay
here and die here and shall rest In the
graveyard yonder. I cannot go with
thee. Go ye your way and I go mine."
And so the two brothers and the sis
ter went back to Wllkes-Barre and left
Frances Clocum, "tho white rose of tho
Mlamls," to live and die and be burled
among those who knew her best.
And In 1847 tho White Father and the
Great Spirit called the soul of Francos
Slocum, and she went forth and died.
MOVEMKNT FOR MONUMENT.
Last spring James F, Stutesman,
of Peru, lnd visited tho Bundy
builai ground, Just outside of tho city,
and finding the grave of Frances Slo
cum, sunken, overgrown with grass
and weeds and unmarked, ho came to
the conclusion that tno grave should
be properly care dfor. With that end
In v!pv he corresponded with twenty
Ave of the descendents of tho white
queen of the Indians, and In a short
time $700 was raised and the following
committee was chosen for the selection
of a suitable monument; Elliott T.
