UNION LEAGUE TO
CONTINUE ITS WORK
Proposes to Hold Meotings Each
Month Whether or Not a Cam
paign Is On.
It la tho Intention of the Union
league to continue In the Rood work
It lias bt-cn dolns, whether In national,
state, county or city elections, and In
vites all active younR Republicans to
join In building up a strong organiza
tion. The club proposes to meet at
least once a month, whether there are
any elections or not, the llrst meeting
to be held on ,tho llrst Tuesday evening
In February.
Tho Junior Republican rlub was or
ganized In September, ISflC, at tho
rooms of the Central Republican club.
The flint meeting was uttended by four
persons, each of whom took an active
part In organizing a First Voters' club.
The .second meeting was held two
evenings after, when a total of twelve
wore present; still two evenings after
that twenty-five were present, when
steps were taken and permanent offi
cers nominated. Those were: George
W. Marshall. Jr., president: l Silas
Walter, secretary, and H. Curtis Pow
ell, treasurer. The next business was
the adoption ot tho name. Tho First
Voters' club was the original name and
alter Mime tso or three meotings this
iianif was finally changed to that of
tho Junior Republican club. The mem
bership steadily Increased nnd through
the efforts of Hon. Frederick W. Fleltv:
and Milton V. Lowrj", of the Centra!
Republican club, an offer was made by
these gentlemen that should member
ship be Increased to one hundred they
would purchase uniforms for the club.
It took Ijss than one week to accom
plish this and on the eve of the presi
dential election of 1SP6 tho club had a
membership of 'M person who would
cast their first vote.
The club was also, or rather Its
members were, auxiliary member ot
the Central Republican club. In fact.
It whs their marrlilng rlub In all
events,
During the lapse between the cam
paign of ' and IMO tho club met at
intervals of about a month, except
when there was an election on, during
which time they would meet weekly
and participate In the election of the
regular Republican nominees, never
faltering from that course. Hon. Alex.
Contiell, icpresentatlvc from the Se
ond district, uhvays gave the club
credit for his re-election, while his
opponent attributed his defeat to this
club.
In August, 1900, the club name was
changed by a unanimous vote from
the Junior Republican club to that of
the I'nlon league of Lackawanna
county, and at that meeting new plans
were formed. It was decided that the
club should endeavor to secure a
many of the best parly workers as was
possible as members from every elec
tion precinct In the county, select tho
best wot Iter from each precinct and
place him on the campaign committee,
he to hpve charge of all other mcnibert
from hla precinct during the campaign
and upo his endeavors to get ns large a
Republican vote out as possible. This
was done In over 75 per cent, of tho
precincts of tho county.
It might be here stated that the offi
cers originally elected were re-elected
to their respective positions from lfG
to this year, when the following gen
tlemen were elected to tut their places:
P. Silas Walter, president: William
R. Johns, vice president: II. Cuitls
Powell, treasutor; T. H. Senkcr, re
folding secretory, and C. If. Derby,
corresponding secretary. The mem
bers of the executive committee elect
ed were: lion. John Scheuer, Benton
T. Jayne, John M. Edwards, Thos, It,
llrrmks nnd Hairy Seamans, of I,a
Plume, with John M. Edwards as
chaliinun.
During the campaign of last fall the
League purchased the Rough Rider
unlfoims. It was very evident when
the county committee placed In Its
chat go the famous meeting In thu ar
mory at which Congressman Little-lb-Id
was the principal speaker, that
the committee would know It would
be in good hands. During the cam
paign at each meeting leports were
made by the campaign committee,
which reports, through Its officers,
weie in turn placed before the county
committee for action,
At a meeting since election,' of tho
League, tho matter was taken up
whether or not they would hold regu
lar meetings during tho Intervals be
tweon election nnd it was unanimous
ly decided that the club bhould and
would bo a permanent one, and efforts
wera at once started to Increase Its
membership and make It still stronser
than It Is at piesent.

action In trespass, which Is on trial in
No. 1! before Judgo John V. Kelly.
Yesterday morning this caso of A. D.
Dean against Joseph II, Gunster, ex
ecutor, ct nl was called, but tho plain
tiff was not ready for trial, and a ver
dict of not guilty was taken. A non
suit was also taken In tho case of
John Hall against tho Mutual Guaran
too Uttlldlng nnd Loan association of
New Jersey, tho plaintiff not being
ready for trial. None of the other
onset were open for trial, and tho
Jutots not engaged In Urn caso In No.

ance at court.
An order was made advancing to tho
head of the list for the first week of
the Matvh term tho caro of R. M.
Ruland against Annlo L. Ross, an ac
tion In ejectment.
Tho trespass suit of the Northern
Coal und Iron company against the
Hcranton Gas and Water company
promises to no a grear. legal D.uue.
It is alleged by the plaintiff that tho
defendant company has Its gas tanks
erected on part of the company's right
of wnv and It asks damages for this
trespass. The suit Is In a wny a
continuation of the litigation between
these companies which has been in
progress for several yearr.
In 18C6 when tho Northern Coal and
Iron company, wthcrwl'ip tho Dela
ware nnd Hudson Canal company,
built Its road, tho Scranton Gas and
Water company owned property on
Scranton street on which the gas
house was erected. This property ran
back for a distance of 150 feet. Along
side of it on tho east tho Northern
Coal and Iron company laid Its rail
road. Many years later tho company
desired to lay a double track, and to
do so would have to uso a strip ot
the Gas and Water company's land.
It wan sought to .secure possession of
this by condemnation proceedings, but
the Supreme court decided against tho
Northern Coal and Iron company and
It Is w ithottt two tracks from the
fcianton street crossing to a point
south, where the lands of the Gas
nnd Water company terminate.
During the 'SO's the business of (the
Gas and Water company having ex
panded It required more land and It
bought a piece In the roar of the orig
inal holding which flouted on Scranton
street. The Not thorn Coal and Iron
company claims that it owns 33 feet
east and west of the middle of Its
track, but the Gas nnd Water com
pany denies this nnd says It owns to
a point about ten fct fiom the center
of the Hack on the west. The strip
eif land In dispute Is thus about 23
feet wide and something over one hun
elred feet In length. On part of this
the Gas anil Water company has erect
eel two huge gas tanks at great ex
penre. Yesterday was taken up almost en
tirely In Introducing various deeds and
papers 1 onnee-teel with the case. The
Northern company Is leprcsented by
ex-Judge W. II. Jessup and James IT.
Tot ley. and tho defendant company
by Wlllard, Warren & Knapp. It will
take several days to try the case.

His Object Is to Get Control of
Her Property Asked the Court to
Revoke tho Appointment of John
T. Richards ns Her Next Friend in

In the proceedings to determine her
sanity, which were begun last Satur
day by her brother, Franklin Howell.
She says her brother Is Insolvent and
that his opposition to her marriage to
Edward Dean, of Hackensack, N. J
Is prompted by a desire to got control
of her property.
Hilt) said that Mr. dllchatels and her
brother were arrayed against her and
that he would be an Improper person
to act as her next friend. She asked
that Mr. Richards' appointment be re
voked nnd City Superintendent of
Schools George Howell named In his
place.
Judge John P. Kelly, to whom Miss
Howell's petition was presented by At
torney E. (.', Newcomb. granted the re
quest and revoked the appointment of
Mr, Richards and substituted Mr.
Howell. Tho petition of Miss Howell
Is a stralght-from-the-shoulder docu
ment. It follows:

"J. Site Is adtked by the notice that the Court
his named John T. Itlelnrds as her next friend
and directed notice of the eommlwlon to be
(eitcil upon him as tuch next filend.
a. Mic further asen that the said John T.
Itlchardte is, under tho law, an Improper person
upon whom such notice tlioiitcl be iered for the
rcas.on that, although a iclalhe, he Is In no
Rcnse her next friend In repect to these pro
ceedings, but on the central)' is a participant
with her brother, the said franklin Howell, in
and about Ihe procuring of the romtnldnn to
hae her adjudges! u lunatic. She emphatically
denies the allegation of lunaey contained in her
brother's petition and tiys tint the proceeding
w.w prompted snlclj by the fact that she con
templates marriage, and hrr slid biother as well
as the uld John T. ltiehard-e aie partleulirlr
opposed to her marriage. The said John T,
ltlcharcl'i has nude .1 pcrsoml effort to pertuscle
tho respondent to abandon her said contemplated
marriage and has Indulged in pergonal denunela
tions of her because) she declined to accept his
advice.
4, The respondent further avers tint she has
considerable estate of her own and that her mid
brother Is Insolvent and has for a, considerable
time past depended upon her for large adeancea
of money and has in one way and another se
cured considerable advances of money from her
and recently havini: declined to make further
ahanecs to him he became Incensed and upon
that aocoiuit by and villi the advice and per.
tuaslon of said John T. Richards, he commenced
this proceeding.
SAYS UK IS HOSTILE.
5. Avcirliifr. therefore, that Instead of being
her next irlend the sild John T. Itlchard Is pa.
tlcularly hostile to her in this ease and will uso
bis endeavors to lnve her ediidged a lunatic
III crder that he and the said Franklin Howell
may secure control of her cslate, she lespcctfully
biihmits that he U not .1 pioper peru upon
whom saiel notice should be seivcd ils her next
friend, and she ventures to name one of her icla
lives, to wit.: Ceorge Howell, who has at all
times bicn on terms ot friendship with her
and her family, and who is cntirclv dislnteretted
III this proceeding and asks that the crder here,
tofoie made directing the notice atoresaid to be
sirved upon said John T. Richards be vacated
and that in his place the said (ieorge llocvell
may be substituted or in default of tint, that

Schimpff, the Jeweler,
That's the name. You've heard It a good many times-
most every time in fact, when jewelry is the topic of conver
sation, for the one implies the other.
Schimpff, the Jeweler,
Has much to show you in the Gift li e more than you'll see
in most other stores. Not only more, butsomething "dif
ferent" novelties that appeal to you, because of their
novelty.
Schimpff, the Jeweler,
Has everything going in the jewelry line. TKinlt ol what
you want; it's there. Prices, too, are less than you think,
when you consider that no matter what you buy, quality i?
apparent.
