ANSWER IS PREPARED.
Reply of Connell Park and Speedway
Railway Company to the Scran
ton Railway Company.
In the quo warranto proceedings be
fore the attorney general, at Harrls
burg, brought to tost the validity of
the charter of the Connell Parle and
Speedway company. Attorneys Vos
burg & Dawson, of this city, and S.
W. Tettlt, esq., of Philadelphia, have
prepared the answer of the respon
dents to the petition filed by the Scran
ton Railway company.
The Connell Park and Speedway
company deny the legality of the char
ter rights of the Scranton Hallway
company and of the Valley Passenger
Railway company and of tho various
other roads which were consolidated
with the Scranton Railway company
by merger, and jthe validity of these
merger proceedings.
The respondents assert that the
Scranton Railroad company und the
other companies named in the petition
have lost whatever rights they ac
quired to occupy tho Htreets of tho city
of Scranton, under ordinances of tho
city, by reason of their failure to con
struct their tracks on said streets
within the times speoltled in the sev
eral ordinances granting these fran
chises. That having filed an accept
ance of the franchises under the or
dinances referred to, they were legally
bound to comply with tho provisions
of these ordinances, and construct
their roads within two years, the limit
named therein. Not having done so,
the franchises arc forfeited to tho city,
and the municipality would have a
perfect right to grant to the Connell
Park and Speedway Railway company
tho right to use these streets.
The answer further sets up that with
the exception of the streets covered
by the forfeited franchises of tho peti
tioner, the respondents do not occupy
as much as the twenty-five hundred
feet of track of a competing road
which they are entitled to occupy un
der the act of 1895.
It Is also asserted that a part of
the street which the petitioners con
tend the respondents have no right to
use, Is composed of Linden street
bridge over Roaring Brook which Is
nine hundred and one feet In length,
which bridge was erected at the ex
pense of tho city, and is Its own prop
erty. The city would thereforo have
tho right to authorize more than one
street railway company to occupy the
same bridge. And the petitioner has
no standing to contest tho right of tho
respondents to have a Joint use of this
bridge.
It is further "set up in the answer,
that thin writ of quo warranto npplled
for, should not be granted, for the rea
son that tho petitioner has a full, com
plete and adequate remedy at law by
an Injunction proceeding to restrain
the respondents from the use of any
streets upon which they claim the re
spondents have no right to lay theli
tracks, and further, that it is a pri
vate grievance that Is asked to bo re
dressed Instead of a public one.
This matter will be heard before the
attorney general at an early date.
It Is Perfectly Reliable.

remedies, but none has given better

MINSTRELS ON TUESDAY.
Performance That Primrose & Dock
stader Will Give at Lyceum.
If sprightly music, delightful come
dy, picturesque scenery, rich costume,
and an unusually powerful company,
headed by the favorite nilnstiel come
dians of America, Primrose & Dock
stader, can constitute an evening's en
tertainment, then the audiences that
will gather at the Lyceum on Tues
day, July 21, when Primrose & Dock
stader and their company of mlnwtrel
artists appear should have nothing
more for which to wish.
It Is difficult to Imagine a happier
combination of pleasure-giving Ingred
ients thnn Is provided on their pro
gram, and there seems to bo little
doubt that they will achieve for them
selves nnd their company a highly
gratifying result. Tho consensus of
opinion among those who have wit
nessed presentations In other places
seems to be that these two emperors
of mlnstrflsy are surrounded by a
company of exceptional excellence,
even (surpassing those of tho past sea
sons. The names of Prime & Dock
stader In minstrelsy is synonymous
with all that Is first-class and meritor
ious In minstrel entertainment.

TO FIX DATE FOR
. THE CONVENTION
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE WILL
MEET TONIGHT.
Convention Will Probably Bo Hold
on Aug. 7 or 14 Names of Thoso
Who Aro Mentioned for the Dif
ferent Nominations Tho Out and
Out Candidates Who Aro Naming
Themselves Aro Thoso Who Aro
Ambitious to Bo Jury Commission
er Tho Legislative Candidates,
Democratic politics, which have been
practically dormant thus far, received
a stimulation from the Kansas City
convention and now the leaders nnd
candidates aro beginning to bestir
themselves.
A county committee meeting Is called
for tonight at the St. Charles by Chair
man Fltzslmmons to fix the time for
the primaries and the convention. No
date has as yet been picked upon, but
the probabilities are that the conven
tion will be held Tuesday, Aug. 7, or,
at the latest, the Tuesday following,
with the primaries on the preceding
Saturday,
The candidates are not as numerous
as were thoso on the Republican side.
For congress the only two probabili
ties are C. G. Holand, the original 15ry
nn man, nnd City Superintendent of
Schools George Howell. Neither de
clares a desire for the nomination and
each Insists that the other should take
It, but It Is qultely certain that both
are perfectly willing to have their
names listed among the "prominently
mentioned." M. P. Conry nnd Cor
nelius Comegys are among the possi
bilities. No opposition has developed to Hon.
John P. Kelly for Judge and none Is
expected. The same might be said re
garding Charles II. Schadt and the
shrlevallty nomination. Ile has been
a standing candidate since his defeat
three years ago and has succeeded In
keeping the field clear of other aspir
ants. I-TNETT DKCLINED.
Editor E. J. I-ynett, of the Times,
was solicited to take the nomination
for county treasurer, but he says he
will not be a candidate. William G.
O'Malley, master mechanic at the
South steel works, was the earliest
candidate spoken of, but the likelihood
that he will go to Huffalo with the
steel company takes him out of the
race. In the event of Howell's selec
tion for the congressional nomination,
Boland will be asked to tackle the
treasuiershlp.
For prothonotary, the principal can
didate. If not the only one, Is Prothon
otary Copeland's former opponent,
Matthew Norton, of Carbondale. Frank
Urown, of Carbondale, Is discussed,
cut It Is understood he only wants It
in case Norton will not run,
Thomas Law, of Archbald, who was
defeated by Clerk of the Courts T. P.
Daniels In the last county election, Is
spoken of as a probable opponent of
Mr. Daniels In the coming light.
Frank Thompson, one of the old-time
Democrats and for years a wheel horse
to the local Democratic wagon, seeks
this office and there Is a strong senti
ment in his favor. P. J. Illckey, ex
chlef of the lire department, also wants
it and thinks he can win. Captain
Frank M. Vandllng was considered a
possibility, but he does not grow wildly
enthusiastic over it.
William Koch, jr., register of wills,
and Fred Warlike, recorder of deeds,
both want to succeed themselves and
are generally admitted to be fairly
sure of seeming re-nonilnatlons. John
J. Coyne, of Mlnooka; John E. Gaffncy
nnd Select Councilman John E. Shea
are among thope mentioned is likely
to contest Mr. Warnke's claims.
MANY CANDIDATES.
There are about a dozen seeking tho
nomination for jury commissioner.
Andrew Healey, of Dunmore; John
McCann, of the Twentieth ward; Wil
liam Kane, of the Seventh ward; James
O'Malley, of Cellevue; Andrew Gavin,
of Jermyn; John Flynn, of Archbald,
and M. W. Grogan, of Olyphant, are
among them.
None of the legislative districts has
as yet called a convention. The re
spective chairmen are awaiting the
pleasure of the candidates and the p
ter In some Instances are waiting to
see what the county convention will
bring forth.
In the First district the only one
seeking the nomination Is Timothy
Hays, of the North End. Attorney C.
R. Pitcher, Attorney M. J. McAndrew
and T. J. Duffy, of the West Side,
woie talked of as likely candidates,
but none of them seems Inclined to
expend any effort In securing the
nomination.
Attorney P. W. Gallagher, Martin
D. Flaherty, Attorney John M. Gun
ster and Louis Gwschlndt, a young
Side Side merchant, are the candi
dates so far mentioned In the Second
district.
Attorney John H. Conner, of Old
Forge, has the field all to himself In
tho Third district, and In all proba
bility will be the opponent of Edward
James,
In the Fourth district a lively fight
Is on with Representative P. F. Tim
lin, of Jermyn; Thomas Hendricks, of
Mayfleld, and Thomas Mooney, of Car
bondale, and P. J. McCormlck, of
Hlakely, are the belligerents. Ex
Mayor J. J. O'Neill Is reported to have
declared himself unwilling to accept
the nomination.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Strange Letter Found on Linden
Street Bridge.
Another mystery has loomed up on
the horizon and Chief Itobllng and De
tective John Molr are pondering over
tho contents of a letter found on tho
Llndon street bridge Thursday night.
A young man passing over, found the
note nnd on reading It learned that
when the missive was found the
writer, one William Dunn, of Ashley,
would probably be lying at the bottom
of tho river, because, as he pathetical
ly expressed It, "he was too honest to
steal, too much ashamed to beg, and
unable to get work."
After reading it the young man
scented a mystery and gave it to Pa
trolman Charles Neuls, who turned it
in to headquarters. Tho note In writ
ten on tha face of an envelope bearing
the letterhead of a Scranton tailor, and
Is as follows:
"When this note Is found you may
find me In the river at the second
bridge as 1 am to honest to steal and
am a shame to beg and have no work.
Have tried hard to receU'e tho same
nnd am broken hearted. My home Is
at Ashley, Luz. Co., Pa., and name Is
Wm. II. Dunn, on3 of the late soldiers
In tho late war with Spain.
"Good by to all an1 God bo with you
until we meet again.
(Signed) "Wm."

pitiable farewell alike have failed to
rnakp any great Impression at police
headquarters, and Chief Robllng does
not think that as yet the unfortunate
Mr. Dunn has carried out his threat.

TWO INSTANCES
OF REAL CHARITY
REVEALED AT YESTERDAY'S
POOR DOARD MEETING.
Dr. James Stein Purchased a Now
Set of Instruments nnd Operated
Upon tho Eye of a Blind Man to
Restore His Sight to Him, All
for tho Sake of Chnrity Board
Also Discovers That Dr. Doan Has
Been Freely Treating a Little
Boy'B Eyes Without Charge
There aro some who are narrow
minded enough to believe that the
averago physician Is a person devoid
of nny other desire or Impulse than
the making of money and a general
wish to lleece the public. If there had
been nny of these persons present at
yesterday afternoon's meeting of the
poor board they would have found that
at least two of this city's physicians
nre willing to give liberally of their
time and money to assist In alleviating
the sufferings of a brother man.
Ono of theso was Dr. James Stein,
who appeared before the board In bo
half of Charles J. Williams, of North
Scranton. Dr. Stein stated that Mr.
Williams had, up to a few months ago,
been totally blind for two years, on
account of cataracts forming on both
eyes. The doctor prepared him for an
operation, and purchased a new set of
Instruments especially for the purpose.
He operated on ono eye a short lime
ago, with most successful results, the
man being now nble to see dls'tlnctiy
out of It. All this, was done gratuit
ously. Tho doctor said that he woul 1
operate on the other eye In th fall.
He asked the board to purchase glasses
for Mr. Williams, that he might be
able to do some work, and the board
without further delay granted him $15
for the pin chase of two pairs.
Tho other physician was Dr. Dean,
who sent In a letter stating that ho
had been gratuitously treating the eyes
of Nathan Pearlman, a poor little chnp
from Raymond court, for several
months past, and asking that thr
board contribute $5 for the purchase of
glasses for the lad. This request was
also granted.
Thomas Kearney, of 12S Meridian
street, appeared before the board and
stated that his father, Michael Kear
ney, was becoming Insane, nnd hid
threatened to kill his wife yesterday
morning by striking at her ith a
heavy piece of railroad Iron. He
wanted him removed to the Hillside
Home. He was Instructed to have his
father examined by two physicians
and, If pronounced insane by them, ho
would be admitted to the home.
Patrick Cavan. an unfortunate wreck
of a man, with both legs and ono arm
partly paralyzed, was allowed trans
portation to Hrooklyn, N. Y., where ho
s-ald he had relatives who would care
for him. He was greatly pleased when
given the order for a ticket, and
hobbled out of the room muttering pro
fuse thanks.
Relief was ordered granted to a num
ber of other applicants, and the mem
bers of the board before adjourning
decided to make a visit of Inspection
to tho Hillside Home next Tuesday,
leaving via the Lnckawanna railroad
at 10.25 in the morning.
FOB, SAVING WATER,
