UNIQUE AS
rUITIGANT
IS THE UNORDINARY HEAD OF
THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.
E. B. Stuiges Refuses to Win n Suit
on ti Technicality nnd Proposes
When He Does Win It on Its
Merits to Decllno to Profit by His
Victory -Verdict Reached In the
Cnso of Fowler Against tho
Meadow Brook Water Company,
but Not Yet Reported.
As will be readily believed, K. Tt.
Stttrgeu, the head of the Municipal
league, Is an unordlnary mini In many
respects.
It Is unnecessary to cite Instances
of the past that go to prove this. Tho
general public will accept the bare
statement. Ills latest unordlnary ac
tion, however, Is verging on Iho unique.
It probably Is unique. He Is defejid
nnt In n case that he Is extremely
anxious to win, yet refuses to win It
on ii technicality, and declares on
the side that If he docs win ho will
not allow himself to prollt by the
winning.
The case Is that of the city of Scran
ton against K Ii. Ht urges. It Is nn
action to recover the cost of paving
In front o Mr. Sturges' property on
North Washington avenue, between
CJIbson street and Electric avenue. He
opposed the payment on the ground
that the paving company bad not ful
filled its contract and succeeded In
having the liens stricken off by show
ing them to be defective In that his
property was all covered by one as
sessment, though It was In different
tracts and not contiguous. The city
now sues in assumpsit and he Is de
fending on the ground that the pav
ing was not properly done.
WORK DOXIO IX ism.
The work was done by the now de
funct .Scranton Trinidad Asphalt Pav
ing company In 1S91. It was paid for
in city bonds, but the city was to be
held liable for only such assessments
as were actually collected. The real
plaintiff, therefore, is the paving com
pany, although there Is a possibility
the company can recover this particu
lar assessment from the city by alleg
ing negligence in collection.
The contract provided that the pav
ing should be tirst class as to work
manship and material: that the pave
should be kept in repair for live years,
and that at the end of the guarantee,
period the pave should be In as good
condition as when llrst laid, with a
full two-inch cushion and no breaks
or boles.
Mr. sj t urges as the chief owner of the
lots on which the Columbus colliery
and the Suburban electric light works
are located ami the Johnson's lake
grounds, just opposite, was called up
on to sign for $1,000 worth of pave,
In addition to several thousand dol
lars worth farther outsell the avenue,
and, as he felt that this was very
much in the natuie of a public con
tribution, he expected to get nt least
reasonably fair treatment from the
city councils, the public's representa
tives. Hut, according to bis story, he was
very shabbily treated, and, as might
be expected Jie waxed wroth.
XO ATTKNTIOX PAID.
When the work was In progress he
called attention to certain apparent de
fects in the material, but no attention
was paid to his plaint. Three months
before the guarantee period had ex
pired, lie, with nearly all the other
property holders on the portion of tlio
avenue covered by the contract, peti
tioned councils not to release the guar
antee bond of the company until such
time as the pave was put In repair.
The cushion was almost eompletelv
worn out along- the whole length of
the avenue, and so filled was it with
ruts, boles and breaks that it was
practically worse than no pave at all.
Yet the council's released the com
pany's bond and allowed It to escape
its contract obligation.
Thereupon Mr. Sturges declined that
ho would pay no more assessments un
til the pave was put in repair. This
declaration was evidently regarded as
an empty threat, but seven years have
passed and Mr. Sturges has not paid
a cent on the balance he was owing.
He paid nearly ?(5,000 In principal and
Interest on property held in bis own
name, and JP'.dOO more on properties
In which bo had a controlling Interest,
but this was dining the first four years
that the pave was laid. The fifth and
succeeding annual Installments he nev
er paid.
WON'T PAV COM PA XV.
Xow, however, .Mr. Sturges is will
ing to pay what it Is claimed he owes,
but mu to the Trinidad Asphalt Pav
ing company's bond holders, Tho
pave has been repaired 'by the city
under the recent ten-year contract
with the Harbor Asphalt company, and
the city Is to get Mr, Sturges' money.
He wants to win the suit now at
bar as a. vindication of his position
and Is determined to win, no matter
what trouble and expense it may In
volve. He could have won It, or at
least have had It thrown over for a
time, by taking advantage of a techni
cality yesterday, but his attorneys re
reived Instructions to let It proceed lo
a test of its merits and tho techni
cality was allowed to go by the board.
Utile progress was made with the
case yesterday. The attorneys lor the
plaintiff are submitting evidence of
the amount of tho claim. It la pos
sible tho cuso will go over into next,
week. The plaintiff Is represented by
City Solicitor Ueorgo M. Watson and
Cornelius Comegys, attorney for tho
asphalt company. Mr, Sturges' conn,
sel are T. F. Wells, ox-Clty Solicitor
James H. Torrey and James Gardner
Sanderson.

DATE FOR BALL FIXED.
It Will Be Held on Juno 14 Many
Details Agreed Upon at Last
Night's Meeting.
That rapid progress Is being made In
the arrangement for the coming mili
tary ball of the Thirteenth regiment
was evidenced at the meeting of tbe
executive committee which was hold
last evening In the olllco oT Captain
D. It. Atlierton, board ot trade rooms,
Those present at the meeting wore:
C, S. Weston, Henry Helln, jr., Colonel
VI. II. Ripple, A. O. Hunt, Henry
Kingsbury, .Stanley Allen, Captain
Frank Vandllng, W. II. Taylor, Cap
tain W. A. May. AV. C.. Parke, W. (1.
O'.Malley, Conrad Schroeder, Kdward
Robinson, Captain D. 15. Atlierton and
Lieutenant Walter Gunster.
In the absence of Alajor Oakford,
Colonel Ripple presided as chairman of
the meeting. Perhaps the most Im
portant work done by the committee
last night was the naming of the exact
date of the ball, which Is lo take place
on Friday evening, Juno M.
Captain Atlierton, In the absence of
the Invitation committee, made a re
port of the great success attending the
committee's efforts to secure u prom
ise from Vice-President Roosevelt and
Lieutenant tlenernl Miles lo attend the
ball. Although the unfortunate illness
of Mrs. MeKlnley may .probably pre.
vent the president from coming to
Scranton, it Is still confidently hoped
that the presidential party will be in
duced to stop off here for a few hours
on June II while journeying from 13uf
falo to Xew York.
After a discussion of the best means
for preventing the counterfeiting ofj
tickets, the printing committee was
ordered to Immediately proceed to is
sue tile required number according to
the plan adopted. The tickets will be
on sale early next week.
Mr, A. fl. Hunt leported for the floor
committee. There will be forty dances;
eleven waltzes, three lancers and twenty-sis;
two steps. It is not certain that
Alexander's band can be secured for
the date mentioned. If not, the Third
Rligade band, of Pottsville will be em
ployed instead. The chairman of the
committee was ordered to request the
management of the Steel Tired Wheel
company lo shut down their steam
hammer on the night of the ball, so
that the noise might not mar the occa
sion. Owing to the fact that Colonel AVat
res would probably be engaged dur
ing the entire evening looking after the
comfort of the distinguished guests,
the floor committee named instead Ad
jutant Atlierton to lead the grand
march. Adjutant Atlierton pointed out
that such action might be a serious
breach of military etiquette, and the
matter was finally referred to the regi
mental staff to ascertain what the pro
prieties In such matters were.
Conrad Schroeder, chairman of the
box construction committee, displayed
a design for the boxes, which was
adopted. It calls for the construction
of the boxes in amphitheater form,
thus insuring an unobstructed view
from all the tiers.
Mr. Stanley Allen, chairman of the
printing committee displayed a beauti
ful dance order design, which was
accepted. 11 is composed of kid lin
ished board, bavins' on its front page
the intertwined national ami state col
ors above a steel engraving of the new
armory.
An entire company of the regiment,
under arms, will be detailed to do duty
in and about the armory on the nig lit
of the ball.

The fifth day or the The Tribune's
Educational Contest was prolific of in
cidents, nil showing the Intense Inter
est that Is being taken In the event,
not only by those already enrolled as
contestants, but also by other young
people who wished to have their names
entered so that they, too. might have
11 share in the pleasurable work of
advancing their own Interests.
Although the contest is still very
young, the contestants have begun
vigorously, Henry Schwenker, of
South Scranton, heads the list of lead
ing contestants, he having brought In
L'S more points yesterday, making his
total ::i. A contestant entering today,
however, can quickly catch up with
this lead, even If It does look big, by
getting two yearly and one six months
subscription.
August I'.i'uniier. jr.. of Carbondale.
Is now second, with 14 points. Meyer
Lewis, of Scranton, is third, with lo
points; It. Leo Huber. of Scranton,
drops from first place down to fourth,
not having increased his points yes
terday, wlille Frank Keiiiinerer, of
Factorville. stands llfth. making his
first return, ! points, yesterday.
Those who entered the contest yes
terday were:
Miss Minnie Wallls, .'It Belmont
street. Carbondale.
Ciiirlield Anderson, 1!' Ilirkelt street,
Carbondale.
James Lewis, .VIil Charles street,
Providence.
F. S. Miilioy. RusbvUle, P.i.
Those who expect to send In their
names soon and some who are hesi
tating about joining the ranks of the
contestants, are probably standing in
their own light by delaying, because
a stern chase is always 11 long- one,
and the longer the start those already
working have the harder it will be
for the later beginners to make It up.
Resides those whose names are printed
In the list of lending; contestants, no
one has scored a point, and there Is
a large territory that is as yet uncov
ered by any contestant and which Is
us rich in prospective subscribers as
can be found anywhere. Young peo
ple in Scranton. Carbondale and the
territory between them, as well as be
tween Strotidsbiug and llallstead,
have a chance this summer to win a
college or Normal school education
which, in all probability will never be
olftied to t In-ill again. Xo matter
where they may reside in Northeast
ern Pennsylvania they can secure
subscribers to The Tribune, and by
doing so have an opportunity to earn
11 scholarship In either Lafayette col
lege, Swart liiiioro college, the Strouds
hurff Slate Normal school, the Scran
ton Conservatory of Music, or the
Scranton Business College, in accord
ence with the terms of the contest.
If they should fall below eighth place
