NEW SCHEDULE OF
TROLLEY COMPANY
Scranton Railway Company Has De
cided to Make a Number of
Changes in Running of Cars.
The Scranton Railway company has
decided on making1 several important
chanpes In the schedules and routes of
a number of the car lines, In order to
provide more frequent service during
the day to the points of heaviest travel,
mid to represent the schedule with
greater regularity. Five or six more
oars will be brought into regular ser
vice, and in order that the running
time may be observed with greater ac
curacy cars on all lines will only stow
at street crossings to let, off or take on
passengers. In addition to the Dttryea
cars, there will be two lines running to
Locust street on the West Side; one
from Drinker street and one from Dun
more corners. Lafayette street will run
to Spruce street and Washington ave
nue; Washburn street to Petersburg.
There will also be cars from Nny Aug
park to Franklin and Lackawanna ave
nues. All cars on the Providence line will
be run out Pcnn avenue. In order to do
away with the possibility of pprsons
waiting nearly twenty minutes, as may
happen under the present arrangement
of sending some curs out Wyoming
avenue and others out Ponn avenue.
The following schedules will be dally
observed:

There mo those who, considering

There's real wisdom in "salting

GOOD-HEARTED
CHARITABLE ACTION CAUSES
EXPENSIVE LITIGATION.
An Interesting Lawsuit Over Mor
tuary Benefits Between Enos
Flynnj the, North "Slain Avenue
Merchant, and the Father Whitty
Young Men's Total Abstinence and
Benevolent Society Judge Kelly's
Decision on the Penalty Clause in
a Building Contract.
Judge John P. Kelly, presiding In the
main court room, was occupied most
of yesterday In the trial of tho easn
or Enos Flynn against the Father
Whitty Young Men's Total Abstinence
and Jlenevolent society, which Is tin
appeal hy (he society from a Judgment
for $"0 given the plaintiff by Alderman
Edwnrd Fldler.
The plaintiff's son, Mnthuw Flytin.
Joined the society in 18P.- and paid
his dues regularly until July 22, 1S07.
December 11, 1897, he died, and his
father made claim to $50 death bene
fits, which tho society covenants to
pay the beneficiaries of a member who
ls In good standing at tho time of his
death. Tho society refused to pay tho
claim, alleging that young Flynn was
not In good standing when ho died.
The laws of the society provide that
a member shall be non-beneflclnl If
he Is more than three months In nr-re.'U-s
for dues, or has violated his to
tal abstinence pledge. Tho society
contended thnt young Flynn was made
non -beneficial for both these reasons.
When the case came to bo tried yes
terday. Judge Kelly took the matter
of violation of pledge out of con
sideration, when the plnlntltf showed
that while Flynn was reported for
violation, his case had never be:n
tried to a final determination by tho
Investigating committee, ns the by
laws of the organization prescribe.
This left the defense to rely entirely
upon Its ability to prove him In ar
rears for dues more than three months.
WHITE ON THE STAND.
James T. White, who was financial
secretary of the society in 1S07, was
the principal witness for the plain
tiff. He admitted that in September,
1897. he accepted $1 from Enos Flynn,
father of the member, which was ten
dered to him In payment of the said
dues. He knew at the time that young
Flynn had been reported for violation
and supposed he had been r-xpelled,
but he did not want to lot the father
know of his said violation, so accepted;
the money, opeeting that young
Flynn would come in soon and renew
his pledge and then everything would
be all right. This dollar would put
young Flynn in good 'landing, as it
would pay his dues to within two
months and a halt of the lime of his
dentil.
When the claim was presented to
the society In February, IS!).?, an In
vestigation was made, .md It was dis
covered by Iho society'.? president,
lllchard A. Maloncy, that the finan
cial secretory had made what appeared
to be irregular entries of tho dollar
paid for Flynn's dues.
On the day book It was crowded in
at the top of the page, under date of
Dec. 9, ISBT, and thnt this date had
been erased and September substi
tuted for December. It was alf-o seen
that the footing, $40, which corres
ponded with the treasurer's receipt,
was $t less than what it actually
footed. A corresponding discrepancy
appeared In the ledger account.
CONTENTION OF DEFENSE.
The contention of the defense was
that the dollar was not p:i!d, or if
paid, was not paid until after young
Flynn's death, and that Secretary
White permitted himself lo become u
party to the manufacture of evidence
to bolster up the Flynn claim.
Tho plaintiff's argument was thai
anything Secretary White had done In
the way of juggling his accounts
was very likely done to protect him
self ngalnst censure for having ac
cepted out of goodness of heart the
dues tendered him by young Flynn's
father when he knew tho son was
teporteil tor violation. All the plain
tilt had to show. It was claimed, was
that tho dues were proferred and ac
cepted, and that tho acceptance was
by the proper official. Tin. olllclal
himself having admitted this, thera
was no question as to young Flynn
having been In good standing when
he died.
In charging iho Jury, Judga Kelly
said the case was one of extreme im
portance, because of Us affecting so
many simllur societies, and .asked thai
it bo given thoiough and careful con
sideration. Richard J. lieamlsh and A, . Vos
burg appeared for the plaintiff, and
13. C. Xewcomb for tho society. The
jury retired at 4 o'clock and was still
deliberating at adjourning time.
BINDING INSTRUCTIONS.
In tho case of the North End Lum
ber company against Thomas F. Dun
lin, defendant, and Morgan Sweeney,
garnishee, Judge Kelly gavo tho jury
binding Instructions lo find for the
plaintiff and against the defendant and
garnishee In tho sum of S.'tiG.vMi. The
controlling question In the case was
whether or not the $100 in tho gar
nishee's hand had been eaten up by
the $5 a day penalty to which tho
contractor subjected himself by failure
lo completo the building within tho
specified time. There was u delay of
eighty days, and this, at ?." a day,
would more than cover the balance tho
owner, McSwcuncy, was owing tho
contractor.
Judge Kelly decided that v.'hoio the
actual ilunuigo can be ascertained, us
In a case of this kind, tho full penal
ty to not to he Imposed, no more than
would a bondsman In the sum of $10,
000 bo called upon to pay tho full
amount of tho bond, where tho party
for whom tho bond was given was only
H100 In default.
The uctual damugos were fixed at
$.j and as this still left tuouch liable
money In tho garnishee's hands to
meet tho Judgment which th? plain
tiff had secured ngalnst tho contrac
tor, a verdict for the Jull amount was
directed to enter against tho garnishee.
A, A. YosburR was attorney for tho
plaintiff, and Hon. John P, Qulnnun
for the defense.
AN AUHIU'T ENDING.
Tliu case of John L. Harris and
others against Mrs, Mary Ilarrett,
Which was on trial before Judge Arch
bald, came to an abrupt termination
yesterday morning. The plaintiffs
disclosed, to Jie surprise of their at
torneys, us lunch as to others, that
they hud disposed of the Interest in
the lease In question to the West Side
Coal company, and us this left the
ense wlllt the wrong plaintiffs appear
ing of teenrd, It could not bo pio
ceetled wllh. After an Unsuccessful
nttnnpt to havo n Juror wltlnliiiwtt
ami the case continued for utneiul
metit, Hie plaintiffs suffered a volun
tary non-suit to be entered. It will
probably come up ngalii In a now form.
Charles U Htiwly mid 14. ('. Neu
ropil reprctented tin' plaintiff;-. The
tlerense was cured for by llcnrgo S.
lloit'i, Major Everett Warren, Thnmti.-i
P. Duffy nnd Itlehsird J. linurkc.
A verdlcl of $S(!0.O7 In favor of the
plaintiff amis returned In .linl'io Arch
bald's court, In Iho suit of David
Sprttks ng.tlnst Mary Lehtitslty,
The plaintiff elalmod for it balance
of $326 on n running nrooitnl for store
goods. Mrs. Lchotsky exhibited ic
celpts, some Issued lo hersntf anil soiilrj
to her husband, which tended to show
flint tho balance wns only $01. The
plaintiff nlleged that nil the receipts
Issued to the hu-sbnnd were for an old
account which the wife, who has prop
erty, agreed to asstimo If the plain
tiff would consent to give her credit.
The Jury believed Mr. Rpvuks nnd
gave a verdict for tho full amount cf
the claim, with Interest.
EJECTMENT CASE.
The ejectment ens-e of tho Electric
City Land and Improvement company
against the West Ridge Coal com
pany, wns called before Judge Arch
bald, Just previous to adfourninent. It
is a sequel to the Injunction proceed
lngs, by which the plalnltff compelled
the defendant to remove the surface
buildings of Its air shaft from a small
plot of the land company's tract,
which was ceded to the defendnnt
along with the coal. It is claimed the
coal was granted with tho proviso that
no such buildings would bo erected on
the plot, nnd now that this covenant
has been violated, the plalnlltf sues
to recover for tho coal Immediately
under the small plot In eruestlon.
About $12,000 Is Involved In the suit.
S. n. Price and M. J. Matln nro at
torneys for tho plaintiff. Ex-Judge W.
H. Jessup, W. H, Jessup, jr., and J.
E. Burr represent the defense.
The case of Nicola Clcola against
Annie Ilaslam was referred to Attor
ney W. M. Leach.
Judge Kelly as a Referee.
In the case of Joseph Hislop
against Green Hldgo castle. No. 106,
Ancient Order Knights of the Mystic
Chain of Pennsylvania, a finding In
favor of the plaintiff was filed yes
terday with Prothonotary Copeland, by
Judge John P. Kelly, who was ap
pointed to referee the case before his
elevation to tho bench.
The plaintiff claimed $50 for a mor
tuary claim, of which he was the
beneficiary. Tho society opposed the
claim on the ground that the assured
was in arrears in dues more than thir
teen weeks, which under the laws of
the society excluded him from benefits.
The plaintiff in response to this set
forth that the assured was not noti
fied of his arrearages, as the laws de
mand and consequently could not bo
held to be non-beneficial.
The referee found that the assured
was entitled to notice of indebtedness
nnd to be reported in open castle as
in arrears and the same recorded on
the minutes, which not having been
done, the laws of tho society were
not conformed to, and the assured wns
not made non-beneficial.
The case s somewhat similar to that
which Judge Kelly spent most of yes
terday In trying In common picas-',
the case of Flynn against the Father
Whitty society.
To Get Evidence from San Juan.
AVlllard, Warren & Knapp, attorneys
for the defendant in the suit of Sadie
Coleman and husband against the
Scranton Traction company, secured a
rule yesterday for a commission to
be Issued to George W. Llebreth, of
San Juan. Porto Rico, to secure from
Dr. Russell W. Cbldsey. now resident
In San Juan, answers to certain in
terrogatories bearing on his knowledge
of the case.
Dr. Chldsey formerly lived in. North
Scranton nnd attended Mrs. Coleman
after tho accident in November, 1807,
by which she received the Injuries for
which she brings the suit.
Filling of the Jury Wheel.
Judge Archbald yesterday numb-d
down tho formal order of court for the
filling of the jury wheel for 1001. It
provides that the nnmes of l,63u "so
ber. Intelligent and Judicious persons"
shall be selected by the Jury commis
sions s and the president judge or one
of the additional law judges.
This is the same number thul has
been put In tho wheel for suveral years
past. The filling will take place the
day after Thanksgiving.
Costs Little.
Young men should reullite that It
costs less to spend their evenings at tho
Scranton Business College night school
than It does to spend them on the
street.

COUNCILMAN ROCHE'S VIEWS
REGARDING COMMITTEES.
Does Not Favor a Conference Be
tween Board of Trade Committee
nnd Committees from Alleghany
and Pittsburg Regarding Second
Class City Legislation If n Con
ference Is to Bo Held the Select
Council nnd Municipal League,
Committees Should Be Considered.
About two months ago the uucstlon
of tho transition of Scranton from a
third to a second-class city was
brought up In the board of trade, and
was referred to the committee on leg
islation for that body to recommend
some courso of action to be pursued In
securing tho passage of new legisla
tion, which It Is generally believed It
will be necessary to have passed If
Scranton Is to enter the new class with
out being burdened with a. deal of un
necessary expense.
The committee . few days ago In
structed Secretary Athcrton to -write to
the secretary of the Pittsburg chamber
of commerce, with the view of having
that body appoint a committee to con
fer with similar committees from the
Scranton and Allegheny boards of
trade regarding the matter of having
a new act passed, or else amendments
to the existing net. He has as yet re
ceived no reply.
Select council nppolnted a committee
a few weeks ago, consisting of Messrs.
Chittenden, Roche nnd Williams, who
were Instructed to consider carefully
the question of tho transition of the
city from one class to the otlier and to
report to councils regarding the neces
sary legislation which must bo passed
by councils. Messrs. Chittenden and
Williams have turned the matter over
to Mr. Roche and he Is at present en
gaged In compiling those portions of
tho local laws of Allegheny and Pitts
burg which may be used by this city
and also all general laws relating to
second-class cities.
Speaking to a Tribune man last night
regarding the advisability of having a
committee from tho board of trade con
fer with similar committees from simi
lar organizations in Pittsburg and Alle
gheny, he said:
"I do not favor the Idea' of having
simply the board of trade's committee
confer with Allegheny and Pittsburg
people. T understand that In addi
tion to this committee and the select
council committee, of which I am a
member, there Is a third commutes
composed of members of tho Municipal
League, which has this second class
city matter under consideration.
"I think the best plan would be to
have these throe committees meet and
act in harmony in this matter, in
stead of one committee. I think thnt
the members of the councilmanic com
mittee, on account of .their exper
ience In municipal mutters, arc enti
tled to some consideration in this mat
ter, and I also believe that tho opin
ions of the business men of the city
should also receive consideration.
"Let those three committees meet
and map out n course of action. That's
the proper way. There Is absolutely
no question but that new legislation
is required before Scranton can enter
the second class without great added
expense and many unnecessary oill
cers and departments.
"If we act quickly wo will have
suflicient time to meet committees
from these other bodies and agree
upon some now law before the legis
latuie convenes in January. An ex
tra effort could be made to get such
an act through boith branches be
fore the February elections. It is gen
erally understood that an act has al
ready been prepared by Pittsburg and
Allegheny. I have made several un
sucessful attempts to got hold oE a
copy of this act, but I think I am in
a very fair way of success just now."
