Tho court house clerks and the coun
ty olllclals who have recently organ
ized themselves Into a base ball club
yesterday received a challenge from
tho court house clerks of Lackawanna
county. The challenge of the Lacka
wanna people was written on a sheet
of paper which was dated "Scranton,
Pa., June C, 1900," and after a search
over the maps and through the postal
guides It was discovered that there
really M-as a place called Scranton.
Tho challenge was nccompanled by a
lengthy newspaper clipping, which en
tered Into details as to the make-uo
of tho Lackawanna team and nlso
dilated upon Its ability to play base
ball.
It was also arranged that the massa
cre should be enacted at WIlkos-Barre
on Saturday, June 23, and that after
the visitors had been reduced to a
proper state of coma they should be
taken to the Hotel Sterling, properly
revived and fed. It was also decided
that If any place called Scranton could
be definitely located a return game
.should be arranged for Saturday, June
SO, or later.

HAS ASKED FOR AN APPEAL.
City Solicitor Takes Koehler Case to
Supremo Court.
City Solicitor Vosburg has petitioned
tho Supreme court for a special order
for an appeal from tho Superior court's
leccnt decision sustaining the lower
court in the case of Koehler against
the city, In which It was decided that
the plaintiff was not obliged to pay for
pavement on Mulberry street laid by
the street ralbvay company between Its
tracks. Judge J. B. McCollum granted
a rule to show cause why an appeal
should not be granted, returnable Juno
11.
Tho city solicitor In his petition pre
sented several reasons why the appeal
should be granted. He contends that
If this ruling of tho Superior court Is
allowed to stand, it will entirely de
stroy the foot front rule In Its practic
able application, and would accordingly
be In direct conflict With past decisions
of the Supreme court, which has often
sustained the foot-front rule.
Ho further argued that if this decis
ion Is allowed to stand It will create
great confusion In the collection of
municipal claims. He also stated that
If it is allowed to stand, the city, in
this particular case, will be compelled
to pay several thousand dollars which
It should not be called upon to expend,
as the assessments wero made by tho
city engineer In strict accordance with
tho decisions of tho Supremo court.
Mr. Vosburg Is very hopeful of ulti
mately winning the case for tho city,
In case an apeal Is allowpd.
