FEES OF THE
NEW OFFICERS
MATTER WAS BEFORE COURT
FOR CONSIDERATION.
Judge Archbald Requested That tho
Question of i Whether or Not the
New County Officials Shall Re
ceive Fees or Salary Re Argued In
Detnil Beforo the Full Bench This
Will Be Done Saturday or Monday.
Trespass Caso Heard Before Arbi
tratorsOther Court Matters.
Before Judge R. W, Archbald yester
day the test case In tho matter of the
compensation of the new county of
ficials came up for cur.rlderatlon In
the form of the case of Uistrlct At
torney W. R. Lewis asrat'Ht tho county
to collect certain fees. Mr. Lewis and
the other county olllclals were repre
sented by Attorneys W, J. Hand and
M. J. 'Martin, and the county by its
solicitor, H. L. Taylor, former County
Solicitor II, A. Knapp and former City
Solicitor I, II. Hums.
A Jury was selected and It was there
upon ndmltted that the county Is in
debted to Mr. Lewis for fees In tho
sum of $120. Argument was then heard
on the question of Mr. LewlV right to
collect fees for his services. Ills at
torneys maintained that it would be a
clear violation of the constitution to
say that ho must accept a salary rather
than fees. He was elected In Novem
ber and the fact that the county has a
population of over 150,000 was not an
nounced by the census department un
til some time later, therefore, to now
say that Mr, Lewis must accept a dif
ferent form of compensation from that
which prevailed when he was elected
would go directly counter to tho con
stitution which declares that no office
holder's salary or emoluments can Im
changed nfter he has been elected.
The argument on the part o" the
county did not attack Mr. Lewis' In
tel pretatlon of the constitutional pro
vision, but set forth that the fact of
the census does not apply to tho date
when it Is announced but as of date
when It was taken nnd ascertained
which was last June, manymonths be
fore Mr. Lewis was elected. It wns
contended that when he was elected
the district attorney that tho county
had a population of over l&O.OOO and
that he is therefore only entitled to tho
salary allowed by the legislating to
the district attorneys of counties hav
ing a population of over ISO.-mO
Judge Archbald directed the jury to
return a verdict of ?i:o in favor of
Mr. Lewis and In doing so spoke ao
follows:
(entltmen of the Jury: A cowling to the plain
lilt's contention he Is entitled to neeiie com
pensation by fees under the act of 1'iCO, which
applies to district attorneys of this county; un
der the contention on the put of the county of
I.aikawanna, against whom this milt fs brought,
and which will hae to pay whatcier Is due to
the ditrict attorney, they claim the talary let
of lS7d wint into effect this ,car, bec.iue this
is a census jcar, the part jeir, nnd the federal
renws has ascertained that the county had a
population ot over UO.iXiO. Our Constitution di
rects that wlnre counties haie that populitlon
the offiicrs shall he paid by salar.i. In pursuance
of that pioilslnn a law was uv.cd In 1870 fixing
the fees of the curious ortlcer. If that act
applies, then the plaintiff is not entitled to
rccour; on the other hand, if It does not apply,
if the foimer act to which I hao uferred Is the
one, and he Is entitled to be paid by fees, then
he would be entitled to a verdict of ifl'JO.
lli.it Is a epiestlon of considerable moment and
not a little intricacy. It has been argued before
me at length. I hate in a measure an opinion
upon it, but I would like to hae the opinion
of the other judges of the court as well as my
own. I would haie more confidence, and ou
would bate more confidence, the community who
are cncdecl and the officials of the county would
be better Kitl-flnl, no doubt, if the judgment
giuu is that of all three of the members of the
court. I li.no but little doubt that both la
colleagues will be hue on satin day or on Mon
day, therefore I bate decided to take tills
coume to elluct as u formal matter that sou
lender a urdiit In the plaintiff's faor for 120,
but that jour unliit fliall be Mibjut to a
question of la.v which I will reverie, whether,
under the tails, which lire not in li.".ute, and
which hae bicu agreed upon and put on ncjnl,
the plalntltf ii entitled to recoier, with lean-,
it the court should be of opinion that the Irw
in the cae is with the defendant rather Hun
with the plaintltl, that we liny enter Judgment
In taior of the defendant, notwithstanding the
crdlet which ,ioii ko lender. Tli.it will pmleit
the lights of all parties.
If we mid the plaintiff, under the law as we
ecmcelie it to tie. Is entitled to this inllel why
It will dand; If we are leiniliiivl Hut he Is not,
then we will direct judgment to bi cuteied,
notwithstanding Hie UTillit for the deiendant.
Wi will, Iheiefoie, now lendei a wrdlit In
faie.r of the plaintiff for f-120. subject to Hie
pulnt icti'iced
If Judges Kdwaids and Kelly havj
sulllcleutly lecovereel from their at
tack of gtip lo come Into court Satui
day morning, the aigunteuls will bo
heard at that time. 11 not. It will
be heaiel Monday. An eatly oplnim
will In all probability be handed down,
that tho case may bo heard by tho
Superior court ftt an eaily day. An
ofioit will be made to have tho oas
advanced In that court for hearing.
Probst Trespass Suit.
There was a hearing In arliltiatlon
joum yesterelay before Arbltratois M.
F. Conry, Joseph JclYiies and Itussell
Dlnmilck, in the case of Annie M.
l'robst against John Stone. The par
ties live on the Hast. Mountain in tho
Fifth ward of Dtinmoto and the plain
tiff alleges that tho plaintiff unlaw
fully broke elown her fence and drove
over her land.
Yestertluy was the third hearing In
the case and a basis of settlement
Chancing It
Amongst all unhappy mortals
who wnlk tho earth, If tin-re's a
class that see's moru misery than
another Its the sort who are ever
expecting something to happen by
nccldeut In their favor. Alway.t
anxiously walchlng and waiting
for something better.
No need to say thai mich folks
are seldom If ever sallslled. The
world's business Is not elone on a
basis of mystery. Successful
things are purposed and planned
there's no other way. Work,
alone, win?.
There's no pleasure) In "chanc
ing" things thiough life. The
"pillar to post" plan or getting
on was long s-lnee proved a failure
It ought to be. Thoughtful, cate

makes a "pile" to be proud of.

COMPANY WILL NOT
GRANT THE DEMAND
Refuse to Agree to Hire Only Union
Men Answer Considered at a
Meeting This Morning.
As foiecabt in yesterday's Tribune,
the Scranton Hallway company has re
fused to acquiesce In the demands of
the employes that no man shall be em
ployed by the company who Is not a
member of the union. The men were
insistent upon this demand, and It is
not Improbable that another strike may
tesult.
The employes' grievance committee
and President Clarke. General Manager
Sillliuan and Director Timothy Hurke
were In conference from 7.30 o'clock
last night until 1,20 o'clock this morn
ing, considering the contract which the
men presented for General Manager
Sllllmau's slgnatuic lust Saturday.
The officials of the company declared
they could not subscribe to the clausa
which demands the ellscharge of men
not members of the union, and the em
ployes' committee declared In turn that
It was Instructed to Insist on this
clause and not consent to any modifi
cation of it,
AA'hen tho conference ended, Presi
dent Clarke; said to a Tribune reporter
that the only difference that could not
be adjusted was this one regarding
membership in tho union. "The com
mittee seemed determined upon having
this clause Included In the contract,"
said Mr. Clarke. "A'o -could not agree
to that. AVhat the men will do about
It I, of course, can not say. I do not
know whether or not they will strike.
The meeting they are about to have
will determine that."
The committeemen spoke In tho same
strain They had no Idea of what the
me-etlng would do.
The meeting of the men to receive
the committee's report was begun tit 2
o'clock this morning. 'Nearly nil tho
employes. Including n dole-gallon from
the Carbondale end of the line, were
In attendance,
Geoige Keller, on of the two men
who worked during the strike and
whoso discharge tho men were de
manding, presented himself at the
mooting and made application for
membership. At the time of going to
press tho application had not been
ae-led upon. Charles Seeley the other
man whose discharge Is demanded by
the men, will not be received Into the
union under nny consideration, tho
men say, for the leason that he joined
tho union hefoio the stilkc and then
wont btuk on his pledge. Keller never
Joined the union and said light along
that he would not.
A new grievance de eloped since the
contract was presentee last Saturday,
The bam hands, who weie working ten
hours a day, have been put on an eight
hour schedule. This results In their re
ceiving less pay than befoie th com
pany granted their demands for in
ct eased wages, The best wages any
man in the barn cun now earn Is tl,r2.
Pnder the ten-hour f-chedulo they could
earn $1.00. Hefore the strike they were
getting SI. 73.
II was thought the meeting would be
In session until u o'clock,
GAIETY THEATER HAS CLOSED.
Harvey Long Retires from the Man
agement. Tho Gaiety theater was dark last
night. At the closo of the afternoon
perfoimance given by the A'ngnbonds
Burlesque company It was decided to
close- the house, for the present, nt
least.
Harvey Long, who was the manager,
retires permanently from the manage
ment. AVhat will be done with tho tlie
ater In tho future has not been definite-
I ly decided upon, but it Is thought that
I It will reopen.
Mf. Long has encountered many
financial sitags since he opened tho
house In September and since the first
of the year tho theater has been prac
tlcully In the hands of C. II. Rchadt,
who was the security on n bond given
by Mr. Long when ho took chargo of
the theater.
Mr. Long proposes to devoto himself
exclusively to his bill posting business
