S I SEARCHLIGHT ON RIPPER lOincludril from IMgc 1.1 arguments were not of such strength as to convince the attorney general that the rase did not cull forwidjudl ration, and the sugKcstlon for a writ of to wnrrnnto Issued forthwith. Mr. O'Hrlen roturncd to Scranton on the evening train and tomorrow morn ing, after a consultation with his col lenRUes and the relator, ex-Senator Mc Donald, will present tho suggestion to I'rosldent Judge 11. W. Archbald. In the future proceedings Mr. Vos Imrg will have associated with him In the defence of the recorder and the "ripper" ex-C'lty Solicitor James II. Torrey and ex-Judge Henry A. Ktmpp. Insurgents Hopeful. The Insurgents are placing no little store by the Senator Wcller opinion that Scranton cannot except the Muchlbronncr bill. To make Senator Woller's contention clear It Is necessary to understand that the act of 1895 provides that cities shall be divided Into three classes; that, upon any city attaining a certain population, It shall he ad vanced In classification; that when a ensus shows a city Is entitled to an udvance In classification the governor shall certify the same to councils and that at the February I'lectlons next succeeding this certification the ad vanced city shall proceed to elect oill cers, etc. If this act stund, Senator Wcller utgues, Scranton must pioceed In Its transit according to the provisions thereof. If Scnintons follows this act It cannot accept the .Muchlbronncr act. Heron ton not beltn? able to accept the Muehlbroniipr act. no other second clasa city enri accept It, und the "ripper" war was all In vain. It will nut do, says Senator Wcller, to hold that the classification act does not stand, however, because then there would be no other second clnss or any other class of cities, and the Illpporltcs again would have had their trouble for their pains. The "Itlpperltes" attempt to make light of Senator Welter's now discov ery and appear to be unconcerned iibout its possible consequences. That It has set them to thinking, though, Is evident from the fact that every on of their legal experts about tho capi tal today who were questioned on tho subject had a ready and similar opin ion. General Opinion. in substance, this opinion was that Senator Weller had lost sight of tho fact that when two laws nr.; In con flict the latest law prevails, and, further, that a patt of an net can bo lepealed without destioylng the effi cacy of the whole. As applied to the case In point, this means that Scranton could advance In classification under the classification clauses of the Act of 1S93. leap over Its clauses regarding reorganization and take the Muehlbronner net to complete whut work of transition tho Act of 1S9." falls to accomplish, because of the subjection of Its reorganization clauses by the organization clauses of tho rip per.

A Pittsburg exchange says: "Attor ney Ceneral Griggs Is giving some thought to the legal status of United States Marshal Kred (J. Leonard, whose ofneial residence Is at Pittsburg, but whose residence as a private citizen Is In Potter county. At the request of tho Pennsylvania senators he 1m con sidering what effect the Connell bill creating the Middle Judicial district has had upon him, with a view to de termining If he cannot serve as mar shal of the new district for the rest of his term, which lasts for about another year. If Mr. Griggs says he can, then Mr. Leonard will simply move his offi cial residence from Pittsburg to what ever city, probably Scranton, the Judge V be appointed will designate. "The senators hope tho attorney gen eral will decide that this can bo done. Such a decision would at once (settle the bitter fight between Hepresentatlve Connell's man, Uachorach, and Hepre sentatlve Palmer, who prefers Leonard to the deputy executive clerk. If tho transfer can be made, It will give Leonard two full terms of four years. If he must be appointed In the new district the new appointment will clip one year off his present term and his new commission would bt for only four years. Nothing will be done until the attorney general decides the ques tion." NEW OFFICERS INSTALLED. Meeting of Columbus Commandery, No. 285, Knights of Malta.

(Under this heading short letters of Interest trill be published when accompanied, for publica tion, by the writer's name. The Tribune does not assume responsibility for opinions htrt expressed. WhichP Editor of The Tribune. Sir: In the discussion now going on among the members of the Grand Army of the ltrpuullr poMs of this city as to which of two designated prorrtles the) should purrhie, I wish to gi 011 record as being decidedly opposed to lie purchase of the Wirdsor property, and in fior of the Leonard lot for the following icasoas: l'irst l'ropertv has grratl) depiecl.itod, and is still depreciating in the neighborhood of tin Windsor Iluslniss hccms to have left that IHjrtlon of l'enn avenue without prospect of a icturn. Second The pewt would be altcgtlher isolated there, and would not hatmonlze with the cur rouiulings While, If loc.ited upon the Leon ard lot. it would be contiguous to the- public buildings, and near neighbor to the Young Men' Christian Atsoclation building and the 1 bright library, ft would also follow the rule, which appears common to all rilie.s, ii.: to group public building together. Third Property in the vicinity nf the Ijeniurel lot is constantly being improved, and conse quently increasing in value. Fourth Tho gencr.il comlltloin which operate lo establish real estate xalue-s, if applied to tho Windsor property, would teem to show that the prico asked in several thousand dollars too high. It the pioperty Is so gooel and cheap, why does the owner a wealthy man manifest to great a dciire to get rid of it, by unloading it kiH the Cirand Army of the llepuhlic association? l'ifth The Windsor, then, is not .1 bargain, and if It was, the Grand Army of the Republic, I11 seeking a permanent home, does not anil should not engage In real estate speculation as audi. Sixth The )ears that have elajKed since the Vl11d40r waa erected have brought about many Improvements in building. All of time could be utilized In a new (.tructure planned and built solely for the uses of the Grand Army of the Itepublie For le-ss inoiic) than is asked for the Windsor property .1 vacant lot can be purchased, a suit able building ereeteel thereon, fully equipped for the purposes required, which, I believe, would be far better than purchasing, remodeling, re pairing and fitting up an old hotel property. As a final cuggcMlon, I would add that thes fact that wc are already Installed in the Wind sor building should not influence a single vote in its favor, for there in no obligation, what ever, to remain, as I understand, and the Grand Army of the ltepubllc can be relied upon to pay all rents and other proper charged for the time it occupies the premises.
