LAST WEEK OF
CIVIL COURT
JUDGES ARCHBALD AND KELLY
ARE PRESIDINQ.
Two Cases Called for Trial Mary
Duffln Seeks ?20,000 Damages
from tho City for Injuries Sus
tained by Tailing Over an Ob
struction on Adams Avenue Eigh
teenth Ward Democrats Havo Their
Usual Squabble Over Primaries.
Will of the Lato Mrs. Ann Hughes.
The third and final week's tension of
the January term of common pleas
was begun yenterday, with Judge Kelly
prcsldlns In the main court room, and
Judpo Archbald In No. -.
Judffu Kelly disposed of tho wage
caso of Patrick Carey ngnlnst Sirs.
Jennlo Urlnk, proprietress of tho Ex
change hotel, Dunmorc. Carey Is nn
aged, gray-haired man. Ho clulmod ho
was engaged to work about the hotel
In the capacity of hostler and general
utility man, and that ho 5a9 to receive
$15 a month and board. Ho continued
In this employment, ho claimed, from
May until November, 1900, but only re
ceived, nil told, $3.u0 in caoh. He
wanted $81.50 more.
The defendant stated that fcho ic
turned from her Hummer vacation and
found Carey hanging about the place.
The help told her they had taken com
passion on him and agreed to give him
food and lodging and an occasional
drink In rotuin for vhittever little odd
JobM ho could do about tho place.
Ttu Jury decided In favor of tho
plaintiff for tho full amount of hla
olalni, with Interest. Attorney John F.
Kcragg represented Carey. Mrs. Uilnk'H
attorney was It. II. HolgntQ.
A TRESPASS SUIT.
Judgo Archbald U engaged In trying
tho trespass! caso of Mary Dullln
against tho City of Scranton, In which
tht! plaintiff wants $20,000 damages for
permanent Injuries one claims were
sustained, November 4. 189a. by falllmr
over n latge fly-wheel that xvan left
lying on the sidewalk In front of C. n.
Scott'3 propetty, on Adams avenue.
The case was originally brought by
Cornelius Smith, but Miss Dullln's at
torneys In the trial ate E. C. New
comb mid ex-Dstrlct Attorney T. R.
Martin, of Wllkes-l?arro. City Solicitor
A. A. Vosburg Is looking after the de
fense. Miss Dulllti conducts an employment
bureau In Temple court, but before the
accident she was a teacher In tho pub
lic schools. She ays she was In per
fect health ptlor to the date of the
accident, with the exception that she
had nn Incipient cataract In her left
eye. Tho fall she received as a result
of the city's negligence, so s,ho claims,
caused total blindness In her right eye
and so .seriously Injured the sight ot
the already cfllicted cyo that It is with
difficulty fhe can find her way about.
She also claimed she suffered perma
nent Injury to her entire nervous sys
tem and a serious disarrangement of
her internal otgans. In these claims
slto xwtfl supported by the expert testi
mony of Er. S. P. Eongstrcet nnd Dr.
James Stein.
CITY'S DEFENSE.
The city's defense will mainly test
on the claim that the fly-wheel was
not on the sidewalk, but at a safe dis
tance therefrom on Mr. Scott's prop
erty, and that MIs.-t Dullln, because ot
defective eyesight xith which she w..t
ainicted for homo years before the ac
cident, wandered oft tho sidewalk und
ttlppod over the Uy-wheel. Tho case
will likely consumo all of today.
Other cases were Ilnally or tempor

DESTRUCTIvilmE
IN OLD FORGE
Pivo Building Desttoyed by Flames
Early Yesterday Morning: and
S10,500 Damage Done.
The borough of Old Forge was vis
ited by a most disastrous lire caily
yesterday morning, which burned
fiercely t'or three hours, and tho dam
age done amounts to nearly ?17,000.
Tho flames xxero presumably caused
by a defectlx-o flue and started nt (i."0
o'clock in tho k.tchen of a hotel on
Main sheet owned by Mrs. J. W. Fal
lon. An attempt was made to extin
guish them with buckets of water but
it proved useless and by the time the
Lawrencovllle Hou company arrived
on tho scene tho whole structuie
was ablaze.
The supply of water was shoit and
tho only stream which the company
got in operation was so feeble as to
be practically of no use. Tho flames
spread rapidly, and it was but a few
moments before a two-story bulldiug
next the Fallon hoti, owned nnd occu
pied by Tony Monaco, and a barn in
the i ear of tha latter place caught on
fire.
There wete quickly destroyed, and
then tho angry flames darted further
down the stioet nnd consumed the new
three-story Holland hotel, owned by
John Holland, und a two-story build
ing owned by Ft an!; Carter. Next to
the latter structure was a vacant lot
and as tho flames could catch nothlng
further, they bunted themselves out,
but not until the flvo buildings men
tioned above had been completely de
stroyed. Tho approximate losses caused by
the tiro are as follows: Mrs. J. W.
Fallon, 5B.C00J John Holland, $G,000;
Frank Carter, $2,000: Tony Monaco,
$.',000. They are pattly covered by In
surance. TUNERAL OF MRS. CONNELL.

TEMPERATURE
AT 38 SCHOOL
WAS DISCUSSED BY SCHOOL
BOARD LAST NIGHT.
Engineer Harris Fioduced a Letter
from tho Janitor Announclnt That
Flvo Booms with nn Averngo
Temperature of Over 70 Degrees
Had Been Closed and He Had a
Bit to Say About the Teachers.
Board Discusses Closing of Schools
by Teachers Befoie Troper Time.
What can at least ba called it ntoat
ltmarkablu state of nffalrs was ro
X'paled at last night's meeting of the
school board, when a letter was read
from the Janitor of No. S3 reboot, an
nouncing that flvo rooms In that build
ing wero closed yesterday und tho
pupils dlsmhsed, because tho tempera
tut o only averaged TO 2-5 degrees.
Tho letter was sent by the janitor to
Engineer Harris, and presented by the
latter to the board. The temperature
In tho live rooms dismissed xx'as given
by him as being respectively 72, TO, CS,
TO and 72. or tho averago mentioned
above, 70 2-.1. When he left the build
ing In the eaily morning the averago
temperature xxas TO degrees, he satd.
"Tho temperature which Is usually
requited by this boaid and by school
boards everywhere." Hald Mr. Harris,
"Is TO degrees. Teachers differ, how
ox'er. Some xvant It TO; some want It
SO; some xroultl Ilk" to hn'e It 90, and
I believe there's a lot of old maids that
xx'ould Just enjoy themselves If It xxas
up to 130 nil tho time."
Tho board had a general laugh at
this, and then became serious and de
cided thnt the matter xx'as ono which
should be glx-en careful attention, nnd
that no school should be closed because
of a tcaehor'a whim about the tem
petatutv. The matter xvas referred for
consideration to tho building commit
tee; Engineer Harris and Dr. O'Mnlley
as :i medical authoilty.
GENERAL DISCUSSION.
The leading of this letter c.vtno after
a general discussion regarding tho ac
tion of a number of the teachers who
close the schools beforu the proper
time, In order to come to tho municipal
building to draw their salary and to
come to tho centinl city for various
other purposes. Mr Eynon brought
this matter up by saying that com
plaint had been made to him that
teachers xt ere seen on the streets when
they should be In school, and that
oftentimes on pay-days they w'ere In
the municipal building at 3.20 o'clock.
Mr. Eeonard told ot seeing certain
teachor.s on the street at 2.13 o'clock
in the afternoon, and upon his asking
(hem x by they had closed tho sohool
so eaily they replied that they had to
come to the central city to take a
lnu-de leeson, Mr. Gibbons cited a simi
lar case. 1 Io 'had gone Into a school
bcfoio tho proper closing time and had
found it closed.
"I'm glad the board has taken this
matter up," said President Jayne.
"There has been a great deal of com
plaint about this question, und it
should be thoroughly luxestlgated."
A motion xvas made, nnd adopted,
directing the secretniy to notify all
principals that heieafter they must te
port overy month to tho controller of
tho ward all occasions upon xvhlch tho
school or a room has been closed be
fore the proper time, together xvlth the
icason for the closing.
The 1 tiles legardlng closing were
rend by the proletary from a book of
lule.', and upon somo of tho members
inquiring wheio they could obtain
copies, they xvero Informed that it was
published sixteen year ngo, and that
omy a low copies x-ere extant, xius i
led to a motion by Mr. Noula that tho !
committee on rules revise the old rules ,
and have a new edition prepared. He-
foro being adopted, this motion xxas
amended by Mr. Langan vo as to In
clude prox-Islons for statlfttlos showing
the number of children attending, num
ber of teachers, coat of maintenance,
etc
ANOTHER KINDEUGAItTEN.
Tha klndei gauen committee recom
mended that a klndergnrten be estab
lished In No. C school; that MIks Mon
aghan be removed from Given Itldge
tnd placed in charge of It, nnd that
Miss Elisabeth Hitchcock ba appointed
to tho vacancy to be caused by such
icmoval.
Dr. J. O'Mnlley, In xvboso xvaid No. C
school, Is located, said thnt there was
no necessity for the establishment of
a kindergarten there. "It xvlll only
offer an opportunity for some of the
people on tho flats" Mild he, "to use
It as a fieo elay nursoiy for (licit llttlo
children." Upon tho committee ngrpe
ing thnt the establishment of the kin
dergarten would only bo mado tem
porary, the doctor withdrew his objec
tions and tho recommendation xxas
adopted.
The building committee lecommond
fd that six flag poles at a cost of $10
eueh be purchased from Spiuks Eros.
Tho recommendation xvas adopted.
Upon tecommendatlon of tho finance,
tommlttce, tho hoard decided to dl
icct tho Measurer to transfer such
amounts from tho gnnerctl school ac
count to tho building account as might
b tendered necessary during the 10
malndor of the llscal year.
Mr. Evans complained that the wood
being furnished some of th Fchoold
xvas not ot tho kind called for In tho
contiact ninde xvith tho continctor. A
load xvhlch he had seen dtimred at a
school looked like a lot of condemned
railroad ties, he said, and not the kind
of wood th.it the district should get
for 53.50 a load. As chaltman of tho
supply committee, ho was directed to
notify tho contractor that proper xx'oovi
must be furnished.
Mr. Gibbons told of sis gtaduates of
tho llrst class uf tho training pchool
xvho had not as yet, after nine year),
been able to secure diplomas. Ho
hinted a number ot daik, mysterious
things, but snld ho wouldn't leveal any
of them if tho matter xvas adjusted at
once. On motion of Mr. Haiker tho
board Instructed tho supeilntendent to
Issuo tho diploma.
A number of Insurance renewals rec
ommended by tho Insurnnco committed
xvcio ordered mado and tho Janitors"
and ofllccrs' pay toll xvas passed.

Dwyer Is vanquishing the best of the
mlddletx eights xvlth comparative case,
while Pardello Is challenging his for
mer tutor, or any other wrestler, back
ing his challenge xvlth a $230 forfeit
posted at tho Police Gazette olllce.
Tho Injury to Pardollo's arm, which
caused a postponement of the match
xvlth Dwyer, Is not bothering him In
tho least, ho says. It was only a lame
ness, lesultlng from a wrench xvhlch
xvas given It by a big, strong amateur
xvlth whom ho was wrestling In a show.
Having heard of the prowess of tho
newcomer on tho mat, the strong nnd
ugllo Dwyer, ho did not wish to take
nny chances, nnd so had tho match
postponed until he could get Into the
best of condition.
Duilng his iccent training Pardello
has uono some xvork xvlth the new
"Terrible Turk." He says tho big Rou
manian Is the biggest man he ever laid
eyes on, and a.s powerful as he Is big.
Ho Is ax and a half feet In height,
xx'eighs 333 pounds when In trim, ond
has a trunk like that of a steer.
