On petition of the Scranton Gas and Water company Juilpo John J. Kelly yesterday pranted a preliminary In junction restraining tho Delaware.

Threa Cornered Ejeotmont Suit. Miss Elsie Cobb brought a suit In ejectment yesterday against 13. F. Harbor and Frank Cobb, to recover possession of a nineteen acre tract of farm which both defendants claim un der sheriff's deeds. Mies Cobb claims under her father's will, fifteen years ago, when her father died, he divided the farm among his five sons, stipulating, however, that they should pay their sister $500. She consented to an arrangement whereby she was to take a sixth part of the land Instead of the $500, and accord ingly a nineteen acre tract was sur veyed and set aside for her. The land has since been sold by sheriff's sale as the property of her different broth ers. She now proposes to wrest the possession from both claimants. Marriage Licenses.

The Ilocr delegates vis ited the capitol today m were escorted by Mr. Siilzrr lr the home of rcpreitntatiip gallerj, to the Supreme court nd the corgrc;sionaI library. Much to the regret of a largo number of the devotees of art and literature, last night closed the series of lectures riven by Professor Edward Howard Griggs. So decided has been the voguo of these lectures that efforts to secure another course will at once be made by Miss Amy Gerecke, to whoso enterprise and teste Is due the past six weeks enjoyment of great themes presented by a master mind. The subject of the final lecture was "Tho Spirit of Venice" and with It were shown many Illustrations of the "White Swan of Cities." Professor Griggs has the superb gift of unfolding the inner, mystical signi ficance of his subject, the duality of life, the Indefinable "beauty of meaning which a less sensitive nature Is Incap able of feeling, not to say expressing. For Instance, when he said "The great est work of art In Venice Is her own beauty" he gave the keynote of color which dazzled his listeners throughout the evening. When he read In his al most appeallngly musical voice the rich, passionate lines of Browning from his "Toccato of Galuppl" the vol uptuous radiant splendor of Venice was borne In upon the audience as few paintings could Impress. SPLENDOR OF VENICE. "Yes, jou, like (tliontly cricket, creaking where a house wis burned; Dust nd ashes, dead and dont with Venleo spent what Venice earned." "Pear dead women, nlth sneh hair, too waat'e become of all tha geld Used to hana; and brush their bosoms! I feel chilly and grown old." The speaker gave a brief description of the causes which built Venice, and drew a vivid portrait of har at the zenith of her power, when Orseolo, or blind old Dandolo, brought her added glory. He contraated her with Borne as narrowing down from a democracy to an oligarchy, an aristocnaey Instead of broadening from patrician exclu- slveness to the ida of a republic. Her Isolation, the protection of her sea wall made her the ruler of the world with her merchant ships. The same sea wall as wider water ways were opened, brought her dacllne in mora modern days. She enriched herself with the spoils of every land, nnd when Napoleon with his barbarle bands swept down and robbed her of her treasures it was only the eternal Justice of mortal affairs. Venice now lives only on her won derful past In the glories of her yes terday. It Is death in life and life In death. Were It not for the tourist she could no longer exist. We preserve the memorial of her days of grandeur. She has such unearthly beauty, so warm, so rich In life and color, and vet but a monument of a dead yesterday. The pictures shown, although under difficulties because of a broken lantern, wero beautiful and characteristic. San INDUSTRIAL JOTTNGS.

Taat of Naw Railroad Train. The first practical test of the train designed by Frederick U. Adams, of Chicago, -with a view to reducing to a minimum the atmosphere resistance of railway carriages whllo being drawn by locomotives and tho consequent saying of fuel, was had on the Balti more and Ohio railroad. The results, Mr. Adams says, axceed ed his expectations. Six cars were coupled to a fifty-two ton engine, equipped with screens of steel and Iron. so that lines of the train from the cab of the engine to the end of the rear eooch were continuous. Eighteen miles ware made In sixteen minutes between Baltimore and Washington. Running into Washington ten miles were cov ered In alght minutes.
