SPENCER EQUITY CASE.
There Was a Hearing Before Judge

the Proceedings.
President .ludge Kdwa ids, slttitiR In
eipilty, )esti'rdny, heard the suit of
Ambrose L. Spencer agaln.-t P. II. Em
ery and T. It, Hughes, which grows out
nf dl-ssciiKloiis. in the Kmery Slnit
I'lekcr MaiitifacluriiiR company, of
fireen Kidgc, coiniosed nf the tluee

in 1MH Iknery and Hughes sold a liftli
ltiturcs'f In the Kmery sliitepieker to
Speneui for .?l.u(in. The company prn
cceded with the inanufacturo of the
ninchliv on the assumption that Spen
cer was to receive ono-lil'th if the
profits: Hughes, ilireellfths and ICin
ery, iine-luill.
The company made big piollts and
for a time nil went well, but dissen
sions .nose, mid Hushes and Kmery
wote found arraigned agalnsL Spencer.
The latttr went Into court, sueins: to
have the partnership dissolved and a
receiver aimolnled. After the bill was
illtd, Hughes and Knu-ry patented and
began to manufacture another slate
plcktr. called Hie Duplex. Spencer
claimed the Duplex was nothing more
than the Kmery machine, with a small
improvement attached, and amended
ilis suit by adding ft demand for a
share in Hie profits of the Duplex.
He makes ibis claim under a provis
ion of their agreement that any im
provement made to the machine by any
member of Hie firm shall innure lo the
benefit of the whole tlrm. Hughes and
Knury made answer that the Duplex
Is a wholly different and distinct ma
chine from the Kmery,
When the case came to he heard, yes
terday, il was agreed by the defense
that the partnership should be dissolved
and a receiver appointed. Tills left nf
Issue only one ipiestlon, that of whether
or not Silencer is entitled to sliare In
t.he Duplex machine.
All the testimony was heard jester

later.

TWO NEW ROAD ROLLERS.
Director Roche Relieves the City
Needs Them Badly.
If the city's streets are to be repaired
at all during Hie coining year it will
bo necessary for councils to appropri
ate .tl,Ufn) for the repair of the load
roller or else buy a new one.
The present roller has been in con
slant use for over ten years ami Is
almost totally until lor doing any kind
of proper work. The constant use to
which It lias been subjected for these
ten yours has so worn away many of
the parts that the loss of motion oc
casioned thereby Is said lo lie nearly
fifty per cent. II Is capable, therefore
of rendering only half as Rood service
as a new roller and il Is extremely
iiuestlonablu If it can be pvoiwly re
paired, oven with un expenditure of
ill, 000,
Dlrecor Hoche. favors the purchase
of u new roller or two new rollers, for
that matter, believing that their pur
chase will justify the expenditure in
I he end. The cost of u new tifteeu-toii
roller delivered in this city would he
a little over $3,000.

MEDIATION IS
AGAIN BALKED
TROLLEY COMPANY DECLINES
A CONFERENCE.
Efforts Continued Over a Period of
Twelve Days by Congtessman Wil
liam Council to Bring- About a
Settlement of the Strike Prove
Unavailing Personal Meeting' Ar
ranged to Take Place in New York
Is Defeated by a Stenographer's
Mistake Car Dynamited.
An effort by rongiessnian Wlllii.m
Council it settling the street cur strike
has, like nil preceding droits in this
dlrcclloii, come to naught.
lliislness men from time to time im
portuned Mr. Council to use his Itillti
euce In bringing about a settlement,
lie. himself, felt that nothing could be
done, but w hen a committee of tho
strikers walled on him and iciUested
Hint he should Interfere, he agreed to
make a try.
The strikers wanted that he should
deal with the Clarkcs. the principal
owners of the road, tlelieral Manager
Sllllmau was consulted by Mr. Council
about securing un Interview, and after
coi'slderabl" telephonic communication
a meeting was arranged.
Mr. Council had business In New
York, one week ago Tuesday, and
wanted Hint the Clarkcs should meet
him there. They agreed to this, and
said thev would write him on Monday
to let him know when and where it
would lie the most convenient for ihein
lo uifet.
SKNT A LKTTKlt.
The Clarkes on Monday, according to
their agreement, dictated a letter lo
Mr. Council ailvlslnj; him that they
would see him iit Hie Waldorf-Astoria.
Tuesday afternoon. The letter was
directed to Mr. Council, care of Hotel
Imperial. New York, but by n mistake
of the stenographer the envelope was
addressed "Hon. William O'Connell."
The consequence was that the letter
was put in the "O" box in the hotel
olllce, and did not gel Into .Mr. Cou
ncil's hands until lute Tuesday night,
when a clerk who knew Mr. Cmmell
found It In going through the "O" box,
and iiad it sent to his room.
As a result of the mistake the i 'larkes
were walling1 all afternoon at their
hotel for the cumins1 of Congressman
ronnell. and the latter was waiting af
his hotel for n letter from the Clarkes
Informing' him when and where he
might meet them. When he did not
come they tool: il for granted ho did
not want to we them, and returned to
Philadelphia.
THKY DKC1.INKD.
The next day there was further coni
inunicatinii. and Mr. I'onnell suggested
that the Clarkes conic lo Scrautou and
meet with him and a committee of the
strikers. They seemed to regard this
proposition favorably, but would not
Miy definitely they would come until
they bad conferred over the mailer.
.Monday afternoon. Mr. Council received
word from the Clarkes that, for the
present, the company fell the proposed
conference was not desirable.
The strikers accepted this as an indi
cation that the company has not
changed from the position it was occu
pying when the previous media lions
were on.
Twenty new imports came in on the
it.t'i o'clock Lackawanna train last
evening and were taken to Hie coin
pany'cs new machine shop on Provi
dence, road, where most of the Imports
are now being housed. Their coming
was unknown lo the strikers and no
commotion attended their transfer
from tli train to the company's olllce,
then by trolley to the machine shop.
They will lie used in opening up the
Throop, Piltston and Duryea lines.

Dispatcher Kelly, of this division. The
I rout trucks of the car wcie lifted

slopped. The seven men in the car
were thrown from their seats to the
