Judge Edwards Ruthlessly De
clares That the Right of Plncary
Is Not to Bo Attnlned Through nn
Easement by Piescrlptlon Verdict
of Six Cents Is Directed for the
Plntntlff-Clty Solicitor Vosburg
Rlpo in Ready Expedient? Other
Court Matters.
11 AVtis it lnitttLT of general rouret
ntnonir those ho Aerc about tho main
court room yesterday ufturnoon that
some of our Judges are not more eon
"Idcrute. The occasion of all this Avas
tho ruthless action tit .Turiifi1 KdAA'nrtla
in Avlplnp; out, In one fell ivliio, the laAV
on thu rlBht of piscary that has been
contended for In llenton township from,
tlm tlmo Avhcn the memory of man, etc.
In the summer of 177S some say 1779
a man named Htttler thoujrli there
aro those: who contend 4to Avas a Cnr
ponter brought Avlth him In his oxcart
load of belonRliiRH Avhleh accompanied
his emigration from Connecticut to
AVhat Is now Denton, a hook of Knfr
land's common law, which contained,
among other things, reports on ease
ments hy prescription.
When tho Daylor pond controversies
arose, n local justice of the peace, into
Avhoso possession the book had de
scended, found, and so ruled, that
under this doctrine of easement by pre
scription, a man Avho had fished In a
pond for tAvcuty-one yents succcsslA-e-ly,
providing the fishing aa-hs done
openly, adversely and notoriously, ac
quired a right of piscary that could
not bo disturbed, no matter AVhat
changes In title or otherwise tho pond
and Its environment might undergo.
SeA'eral times In one or tho other of
the Baylor suits, the Buptcme court, In
a sort of squinting Avaj Intimated
that this was not good Iiiaa, but never
came out Hat-footed on tho matter, be
cause the question Avas not ppeclllcu'ly
raised, and, posslblj', also, because th
Supreme Justices are more considerate
than some other judges Avho might bo
instanced.
HAD AN ABIDING- FAITH.
Kvury one In and around Benton aa-Iio
dues not own a pond continued to hnvo
nn abiding faith In the right of piscary
obtained through easement hy pte
Kcrtptlon, and, as told nt length In yes
terday's Tribune, Do Wilton SAVeet aviis
among them. As further told, he fished
in liassett pond. In lS'Jt, after being
told by the owners, thu Olhbs hrolhets,
that he shouldn't do so, and tho Olbbs
brothers, or rather their father, Avhoni
thej- succeeded as plaintiffs b' reason
of the father's death since tho suit aviis
begun, came before Judge KdAA'tirds, in
due com so, Monday to secure SofiO dam
ages for Sweet's alleged trespass.
After hearing a big raft of testimon
establishing the (llbb.V title lo all the
pund, and refusing to hear another big
raft that Avotild tend to show that
Sweet tlshcd consocuth'ely fur tAventy
one years in all parts of the pond,
Judge KdAA-ards yesterday decided:
First That the plaintiffs avpi-o exclu-sIa-o
OAvneis of tlie lake.
Second That tho defendant, under
no circumstances, could acquire a right
of piscary through easement by tire
scrlption. Third That, as the plaintiffs simply
Avanted to establish their oxcluslA'o
rlrjht to the pond and all Its fishing
and other privileges, tho jury should
content Itself with finding only nomi
nal damages, or, in other aawiIs, a ver
dict for the plaintiffs in the sum of six
cents.
This Aas dulj- entered of record, and
thus perished the law of Benton under
AAhlfh the right of pisenry could bo ob
tained through casement bj- prescrip
tion. AVBItW DISPLKASKD.

tAo days looked like the llrst rows of

chagrined and mm inuring asscnibluge,

City Solicitor Voslnirg Is noted In thu
matter of Interesting expedients, but
he outdid hinif-elf in tho case of Jennie
F. Dean against tlie City of Scranton,
AAlilch was tried beiuro Judg.i Koll-,
yesierdny.
The plalutlif, avIiu Is a handsome,
shapely inlis of about twenty vein-.-,
allegt-s that on the evening of Fobiu
arv 117. 1M'7, she fell fee-t furi'iuo.st and
sank to the armpits into an open man
hole of ti sewer on tho extension of
North "Washington avenue, sustaining
damages to the extent of $20,duO.
In his pronarntion of the case, Mr.
Vosburg had occasion to vIcav tho man
hole and also tho young lady, and a
casual comparison convinced him that
the young lady was mistaken in her
contention that she fell Into that mir
tlcitlar man-hole up to her arm-pits.
It was hardly lo ho expected that the
plalutllV could he induced lo repeat the
performance for the purpo.se of ciudl
eating Mr, Vosburg's convictions, so
the latter had to have, recourse to his
fund of ready expedients.
Deputy Controller Jolmniu IIoavcII
aviis selected as tho means to .Mr. Vo.s
burg'.s end. Johnnie, as most people
know. Is diminutive. To Mr. Voshtirg's
Cause & Effect
Tho oldest pnrinurbhlp known
to man, and It has tiunsactcd
more business the world over
than all other linns, combined.
Their strong point Is In Sticking
together; It being a trade secret
that Monsieur Cause never yet
closed a deal which did not Im
mediately j-eeelvo Knout's neatly
Indorsement,
One result of this cordial I ela
tion Is tho common expression:
"rihoAV mo an oifect, nnd I avIII
ijIioav you Its caiuo." An axiom,
which all sano men admit,
Theie arc those AVho THINK
thoj' can spend, spend, spend not
even sparing a cent; and yet, will
MimehoAA', sometime see a day of
surplus comfort and ensh, "Wrong!

quick and calculating eye he aviis far
from being ot thu proportions, either
perpendicularly or horizontally, of the
rnlrund shapely plaintiff. Furthermore,
according to the tistuto city solicitor's
nfotesitld quick and calculating eye,
Johnnie exceeded 111 bicndth of Ileum
tho diameter ot the man-hole In ques
tion, HIMl'tit: BXPKniMKNT.
A simple experiment proved .Mr. Vos
burg's view it correct one. John aviih
taken to the scene of Ihe alleged acci
dent, tilth ed In a suit of cast-oil
clothes, and dropped Into the hole, feet
foremost, after the mutiner of the de
scent AAlilch Miss Dean Is alleged to
have pursued In her previous and In
voluntary shnllur experience. But John
Avould not down, t'liy Knglnecr Phil
lips. Deputy Conltollor Jlurtley ami
City .Solicitor Vosburg pushed and
Jntumed on the heroic John, but his
bins could not bo made to enter the
opening. It aauh clearly established
that John or any one not of lesser di
mensions at the point of greatest
dimension could not fall Into that hole
and sink to the arm-pits.
Vestcrtlny the diminutive deputy con
troller aviis placed on the stand nnd
told of the experiment. In summing up
for the defense, City Solicitor Vosburg
Inid particular stress upon Mr. Hoav
ell's testimony and especially called the
attention of tho Jurors to the fact that
John aviis much smaller thun the pla'n
tlff. Tho Jurors evidently placed much
weight on the expedient, for one mid
nil Avere busy during the remainder of
the trial In sizing up and comparing
tho plaintiff and thu city's star avII
ness. The spectators did HkoAvlse, and
In consequence there Avere comments.
WENT TO THK JURY".
The city practically Avon the case.
When tho testimony aviis all In, Mr.
Vosburg pointed out liiat the plaintiff
had failed to shoAV that the city OAvnetl
tho street at the tlmo of the accident,
or even If It had, that any notice of
the unprotected condition of the man
hole had been brought home to It.
Judge Kelly decided to let the case
go to the Jury, and make the verdict
subject lo a leservcd Ituv point as to
whether or noL there aviis evidence suf
llclenl to warrant Its being sent to the
Jury. Tlie court announced that It AA'as
prompted In a mensuic to this course
by the fact that tho plaintiff lives a
great distance aAAny from here, Mor
ristoAvn. Blair county, and that It Avould
he best to have the tase tried out, as
a matter of economy to her.
The jury retired just beore adjourn
ing time. Tlie pltilntitT aviis represented
by Attorney B. P. AVedeman.
The case of Bessie Judge against
Carter & Co. has been settled and a
verdict Is to be taken this mnriihiir.

The Second Presbyterian church Avns
last night tho scene of a most entliusl
usllo meeting of the City Christian
Kndenvor union. Reports or "echoes"
were heard from a number of the
delegates Avho attended the recent state
convention held In Philadelphia and
much of the spirit ot Christian felloAv
shlp am( Christian federation, Avhleh
( aviis so much In evidence nt tho big
convention, found Its way into the
meeting.
I The session aviis presided over by
Boa". Luther Hess Waring, the neAvly
elected president of the union, and
Avns attended by between 200 and !!00
Christian Endenvorors from societies
connected Avlth tho following churches:
Washburn Street Presbyterian, Dun
more Presbyterian, Green Kldg Pres
byterians, Sumner Avenue Presbyter
ians, First I'rcsbyterlan, Second Pres
byterian, Penn Avenue Baptist, North
Mala Avenue Baptist, Green Bldgo
Baptist, Plymouth Congregational,
Sherman Avenue Congregational, Pur
itan Congregational, Grace Lutheran,
Grace Reformed Episcopal, Providence
Christian nnd African Methodist Epis
copal. ReA Mr. AVnrlng made n brief open
ing address, In Avhleh he referred to
tlie magnitude of the recent cotiA'en
tlon, explaining Iioav It aa-os attended
by 17,000 Christian Kndeavoicrs. Ho
stated that it Avas Avlthout doubt the
largest state convention ever hold in
tills country.
FIRST RKPORT.
The llrst report of the convention
aviis presented b- Misses Kllen Dun
ning, of tho Junior Christian Endeavor
society of the Green Bldgo Presby
terian church, avIio gave a most inter
esting account of the big junior rally
held In one of tho state armories.
This avjs attended by no less tlum 12,
000 junior members and the music aviis
furnished by a choir of 1"00 children,
diessed in vari-colored costumes and
arranged against a white background
to foim the letters A'. P. S. C. 1-3.
The next report was bj- Rev. F. J.
Milman, avIio gave an account of the
noon day evangelical nnd the sunrise
prayer meetings conducted during th
Aveek. Ho told of tho large thron
of people avIio arose every morning
attend these meetings and said thr
never since he entered the mlnlstrj
had ho seen such spiritual gatherings.
The Avails of denominationalism
aa'ci-o torn dOAvn and Christian Endea
vorers of every crcetl worked side by
hide for tlie extension of Christ's king
dom on this earth." Ho described the
scene on Broad street PA'ery day at
tlie noon houi"Avhen the visiting Chris
tian Kndoavoieis gathered together
and scpa rated into parties to conduct
evansclistio services in A-arious parts
or the city: some going to the peni
tentiaries: some to the reformatories;
sonic to the navy yard, and others to
the A'nrlous mills nnd factories.
After Bev. Mr. Mllmr.n had finished,
I'rof. ,7. Ar. Chance gave a few of his
impressions of the musical side of the
convention. The musical numbers, ho
said, Aiei-p rendered by an excellently
trained choir of j,roii voices and he
said that he had never heard such
splendid eliorUF- singing hi his, life.
RI-3XDI-3UKD AVITII SPIRIT.
"One tiling I noticed in particular,"
said he, "wits tho AA'ay iho music
Aveni.' It aviis rendered Avith such
! spirit and enthusiasm that the au
diences caught the Inspiration. ft
aviis sung Avlth iiieelslon and back of it
was an intelligent Intel pretntion. Jn
Christian ICndcavnr societies tlioio is
no fence more strong- than the music.
There's nothing that can so kill a so
cio! v meeting as the rendering ot tho
songs in a slow, tedious manner, in
stwul of itiioklj AAith a dash anil
spirited movement."
A brief address was next made by
Bev. Robert F. A'. 'Pierce, D. D pas
tor ot the Penn Ave-nite.- Baptist church,
aaIio aviis honored at Iho convention
by being elected statu vice president.
Dr. Pierce was greeted ns he ascended
the pint form with the Avavlng of many
handke'rc-lilefs. Ho said that press of
business had kept him nwuy from thu
convention, bui that his heart Avas al
Avays with the christian Endeavor
movement. Avbeihor ho attended the
meetings nr noi.
Ho told how diillcull it avus fur him
last summer ivhlle in Europe to dls
fnvpi' a Protestant place of worship in
many cities Avhleh he visited. "The
old world," said he, "is hungering for
a living Christ. The people In Europe
are worshipping a dead uuu now. I
ofthnts feci that some day In the iioav
century there will be started a Chris
tian Endeavor movement which shall
hnvo lur Its object the Jiringlng (o the
millions of tho peoples of Europe a
living, poison.il Christ."
After a beautiful violin solo by Miss
Julia Clapp Al'uii, the executive com
mittee presented tho names of llm fol
loAving gentlemen as having been nomi
nated for the various positions Lolow
