Incorpoiated nt Albany Yesterday.
Buffalo Commercial Tolls of tho
Work That Is Being Done on tho
Big Plant nt Stony Point Near
Buffalo Rail Mill Will Bo a Mile

Tho Lackawanna Steel company, with
a capital of $40,000,000, was yesterday
charteied at Albany, N. Y. This is the
company that is to succeed tho Lucka
wanna Iron and Steel company, which
Is now electing a plant nt Stony Point,
near Buffalo.
The company was chaitered to manu
facture Iron, steel and other metals; to
operate mines und lumber lands: to
eicct and operate furnaces, forges,
mills, foundries and other manufactur
ing establishments: to construct and
operate bildgcs, ships, engines, curs
and other rolling stock; slips, elevators,
waterworks, viaducts, aqueducts and
canals, and to transact such other busi
ness as may be Incidental thereto. The
capital is divided Into 400,000 shares of
tho par value of $100 each.

Tho decision In the case of the com
monwealth against Ceale means that
unless the defendant, Attorney George
W. Uoale, can llnd s-ome now way of
halting the operations of tho law he
will have to go to jail for six months,
pay a lino of $100 and restore the $1,G25
which It Is alleged he embezzled.
Mr. Itealo was made executor ot the
estate of R. K. Kills, of Dalton, on the
death of the latter In 1S9I. There was
an account stundlng to tho credit of
the estate in the First National bank
of $1,79S.03. Before the year was ended,
Mr. Beale had checked out tho cash to
himself. Under the terms of the will,
the estate was to be divided In three
portions, one portion, amounting to
$1,525, to be paid to the sister of the
deceased, Mrs. Esther Meade, and the
other two portions to the children of
his deceased brothers.
BKALH V'AH INDICTED.
Mis. Meade died shortly after her
brother. The administrators of the es
tate kept demanding her share from
Mr. Beale for three years and falling
to get him to fulfill his repeated prom
ises to pay, had him indicted, May 27,
189S. He was tiled Dec. 15, 1899, and
found guilty of embezzlement.
His defense was that he Invested the
money In a coal company In which he
was Interested; that the Investment
was made at the direction of Mrs.
Meade, and that he stood ready to turn
over tho certificates of stock which the
money had purchased. The stock Is
worthless.
An efl'ort was made by his attorneys,
John F. Scragg and R. PI. Holgate, to
get a new trial, but Judge Archbald
refused it. Exceptions were taken to
the sentence and an appeal made to
the Superior court. The appeal was
allowed to act as a supersedeas, and
Mi'. Beale retained his liberty, pending
tho appeal. George M. Watson was
private counsel for the prosecution.
. The opinion afllrming the finding of
the local court was written by Judge
Beaver.
In the case of George W. Potter et nl
against the Scranton Railway company,
the decision of the superior court af
firms tho action of Judge Kelly In
dhecllng a verdict for the defendant
notwithstanding the finding of the jury
in favor of the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs sued for damage done
to a team and butcher wagon by being
lilt by a trolley car near the corner
ot Washington nnd Richmont avenues.
The defense alleged contributory negli
gence. Judge Kelly allowed the case to
go to the jury, reserving the question
as to whether or not theie was con
tributory negligence. It was argued
before the three judges and the motion
of the defendant for judgment notwith
standing tho verdict was allowed.
Wlllard, Warren & Knapp represent
ed the defense. George M. Watson, I.
II. Burns and J. W. Browning were
attorneys for the plaintiffs. This is the
second time the elder Potter has been
defeated In a trespass suit against the
tiolley compnny. Tho opinion of the
superior court was written by Judge
W. W. Porter.
KF.LLY-DONNELLY CASH.
The same judge wrote the opinion in
the case of Ellen C. Kelly against
James F. Donnelly. This Is a suit over
the location of a line fence, involving
about an inch strip of land. The late
Judge Gunster declared In favor ot
the plaintiff. Tho superior court af
firms his finding. W. S, Huslander
was the attorney for the appellee, and
T, P. Duffy for the apppellant.
In tho case of Charles Lewln against
tho Paull estate, Judge Beaver's opin
ion affirms tho verdict Mr. Lewln
was given by a jury for Injuries sus
tained by falling down u stairway In
the P.iull building on Lackawanna ave
nue, where he hnd an olllce on the sec
ond lloor, The accident was alleged to
bo due to the faulty condition of tho
stairs, The defense was that the
plulntia' under the terms of his lense
was responsible for the condition of tho
stairway, una' that It was not clearly
established that tho condition ot the
stairway was the proxlmato cause ot
the Injury. No one saw the accident
and the plaintiff could not give testi
mony because the dotendant hud died.
Tho testimony as to cause of accident
was, In consequence, all circumstan
tial. llalph h. Levy and George S. Horn
weio attorneys for Mr. Lewln. I. II.
Burns und Major Everett Warion were
for tho defendant.
In tho case of M. J- Buddy against
William Repp, tho plaintiff secured a
-verdict for stone delivered to the Old
Forge high school contractor, Zebu
Van Loon, Buddy nlleged that Repp
agreed to be responsible for tho stone.
The case was tried before Judge Kelly.
Tho ilndlng of the local court Is af
lltined by a per curiam decision.
The case of Harding against Repp Is
one in which William Repp unsuccess
fully attacked the first assessment

Thomas Gllboy was one In which a ver
dict wus ulvur against tho defendant
for causing damugk to Klsllnskl's lot

COMING OF PADEREWSKI.
Great Interest in His Concert in
This City.
The coming to Scranton ot the grout
nnd only Pndoiowskl Is nn event which
secmq to Interest tho masses as no
event has heretofore done, and the
new nrmory will no doubt be thronged
m it has never been before on the
PIAXISr PADUItHWSKI.
evening of Februury 21. Fred C. Hand
makes the following announcement te
gnrdlng his appearance In this city:
To the Music Loving People of Scranton and
Vicinity:
It is my raie privilege to be able to announce
Hie coming to Scranton ot (he Illustrious and in
eonipaiablc Padcrewski, the poel-lauicate ot the
ptanofoitc, who will appear at the new Aunoiy
on Mondiy evening, l'cbiuary 21. I fool tint tho
simple announcement of this event should bo
sufficient to attract a brilliant audience, and my
ixporlence Ju-stllles the confidence Hut Sciantou,
every ready to lecognire and nppieciite musical
genius of u high ordei, will Mi-t.ilu its well
rained icptitutlon on this occasion.
1 doom it piopcr to stale that ti e gcneious
pationige extended to the illu-tilous aitLsts who
have appealed heia under my mnnigcmcnt, name
ly Madame Xordic.i and Madame fcihuiiiann-HcinU,
has made it possible for mo to bilng the gieat
P.idciewski to Sci.mton. This woild-fauicd ui
tlst lctuniS) from Huiope to the United States
crowned with new l.mrcla won, not only in tho
matchless and malicious maid lWn lion of his
nit, but ns an opeiallc composer in which ho
has demonstrated anew the illimitable and all
compelling quality ot his wondeiful resomces as
a musical magician.
It would be supoifliious, in addicting the
loveis of mii-dc, to dilate em Mi. Padcrewski's
povvcis as a. pianist Ihey aic iecognkcd by the
cultuicd cierjwheio. They have won tho en
thusiastic admiration of the woild. Kings and
queens, and aitists, and men and women of tal
ent and taste in all the gieat renters of the uni
verse have been enhanced by the placing of this
wUaid of the piano, so that it is uiuicc-cs-aiy to
spoik of his woik in detail.
It is not amiss, however, to slate that his ap
peaiance ill Scianton will nlTord tho piople of
this city and section the oppoitunity of a life
time to hear a genius whose famel lias filled tho
woild.
The aitist's loniaikable and engaging poison
ality is not loss interesting than Ins amazing ait.
Ills appearance in Scianton will be "an event lo
be icmombeied, nnd In jeais to romo people will
relate with pride Hut they were anion.; thoe
who saw and hoard Paderewski when he -ilted
Scianton.
