TINTED
MAGISTRATE HOWE'S VIEW.
Thinks People Ate Too Hasty in
Blaming Aldermen.
C'lmi-leH Hchlt-!!, of Nidge sheet, wits
ni-pi'sU'd yoslenl.ty tit the Instance of
Mrs. Anna Ecle, who clutifjcH lilm
with ansuult uiid Imtlery on herself
and on tier son, CIiui-Ich. Mis. l-k-Ue
alk'BPs tlinl her little hoy Was passing
Schliz's house and stopped to fool with
hit dog.
.Schli'z, f-hc says, took offense and
coining out, slapped the lad over the
face. Mite started to Interfere, where
at Schlrz slapped her nlso, she avers.
The warrant was Issued hy MnL'isttate
Howe, hut Hchlt-z went hefore Alder-
inan lluttennan and entered hnll lu
the sunt of JIIOO. This prompted MubIs
trate Howe lo make a few remarks
yeHterday afternoon.
"There's a case," said he, "that could
have been settled If I could have got
the parties together here In my otllee.
It's only a trivial matter and one that
should never be brought to the atten
tion of the grand Jury. It may pos
sibly be one of the contributing causes
for another grand jury report censur
ing aldermen for sending In unhnport
unt cases, yet what can we do? If a
person comes here and Insists upon
swearing out a warrant we've got to
Issue one. Then the defendant goes
before another alderman and enters
ball. In many Instances, we get no
opportunity whatever to decide upon
the merits of a case. I wish people
would take tills fact Into consideration
when they start out censuring the al
derman along this particular Hue."
LEROY INHALED GAS.
Tailor Found Unconscious in His
Room at Bristol House Yester
dayCondition Critical.
Charles Leroy, of Factory vllle, vho
came here on Monday last to accept a
position with E. J. O'Malley, the North
Scranton tailor, was found unconscious
yesterday morning In his room at the
Bristol house, corner of North Main
avenue and West Market street. Gas
wtis escaping from the gas jet, and had
Leroy not been discovered when lie was,
he would have undoubtedly have been
asphyxiated.
It was the smell of the escaping gas
which attracted the attention of the
hotel people, and they hurriedly opened
his room door. lie was lying in the
bed, undressed, and theie was no evi
dence of any attempt having been made
to stop up any cracks in the doors or
windows and thus prevent the escape
of the gas from the loom. These facts
are considered to be amply suillclent to
dlspiove the theory of suicide, at llrst
advanced. It is believed that the gas
was left turned on through negligence.
Efforts to revive Leroy were made
by a physician, who had been sum
moned, but they were unsuccessful, and
he was removed to the Lackawanna
hospital, where he partly regained con
sciousness, but again sank into a coma.
His condition last night was said to be
critical.
CONCERT OF COLLEGE CLUBS.
Lafayette Men Attracted a Fair
Sized Audience.
The concert given by the musical
clubs of Lafayette college attracted a
falr-sl.ed uudlMice last night at the
High School aivlltorluni. It was an
exceptionally good entertainment. The
Glee club was very strong and did ex
cellent work. One of its members is a
Scranton man, T. P. Eynon, of the
West Side.
The Banjo club played well and the
mandolin 1 enduring- of a Ituebonslein
melody in F was among the features of
the evening. The singing of the
"I-'lorodor.v Sextette" and "I Wan't lo
Be a Military Man," called forth much
enthusiasm.

EVIDENCE WAS
END OF THE WILLIAMSON-CARPENTER
CASE.
Attorney Walker Vigorously Re
sumes the Argument Which WaB
Interrupted by His Swooning, but
the Law Was Against Him and
the Evidence on Which Ho Rested
His Case Was Adjudged Incompet
entVerdict of 1 8200 for the Plain
tiff In Welsh Damnge Case.
Fully recovered ft om his cullapse of
the day befoie, Attorney James M.
AVulker, yesterday morning, resumed
his argument In the Williamson-carpenter
ejectment suit, consuming nearly
an hour In one of the most vigorous
speeches ever made by a young at
torney at the Lackawanna bar.
The law, as .ludge Kelly reviewed It,
was however against him, and the
motion of the opposing counsel Major
AVarren and Mr. Scrags to exclude the
testimony on which the defense rested,
was allowed. The plalntlrf asked for
binding Instructions, but Mr. AVulker
protested on the ground that some of
tho papeis offeied in evidence were not
originals, but only certllled copies, and
there was consequently a question as
to the veracity gf the witnesses who
testified hi support of their being cor
rect copies. Judge Kelly sustained Mr.
Walker's contention and submitted the
case to the Jury. Tho Jury found- a
verdict for the plaintiff.
In the case of John E. AVelsh and
others against the city of Scranton for
damages growing out of the widening
of Robinson street a verdict of ?200 was
found for the plaintiff.
A verdict of $31 for the plabulrf was
returned In the case of Antonio Margot
to against AVHliam A. Moore and Mary
Moore.
Two juries sealed verdicts just sifter
the udjournlng of court. One had In
hand the case of rj. It. Thomas against
Patrick Leyden. Mr. Thomas is a.
sewing machine agent. Mr. Leyden re
sides in Minooka. An agent of Mr.
Thomas' delivered a sewing machine
to Uie Leyden residence at Mrs. Ley
den's holiest. It was to be left there
a week on trial. AVlien the agent went
16 Minooka to consummate the expect
ed sale he found the sewing machine
lying in the gutter in front of Leyden's
house. It was a total wreck.
Leyden admitted he threw it out, but
sought to excuse his action on the
ground that It was placed on his prop
erty without his consent. Judge Kelly
ruled that Leyden had no right to
throw the machine out and gave the
jury binding instructions to find for the
plaintiff. The amount of the damage
was left to the jury. L. P. AA'edeman
lepresented the plaintiff and- John H.
Bonner, tho defendant.
The other case was that of I. P. Pro
vodssek against M. E. Worden. The
plaintiff was u sub-contractor under
the defendant for the slating of the
Blakely Baptist church. The contract
price was $300. Mr. AVorden refused to
pay the bill and suit was brought. The
defense was that the work was not
done according to specifications and
that the cost of putting the Job in proper
shape was greater than the plaintiff's
claim. R. A. Zimmerman represented
the plaintiff. AV. A. AVllcox was attor
ney for the defendant.
The case of James Jt. Dainty against
Michael Devlne was referred to At
torney R. L. Levy.
The following cases were continued:
E. F. Carroll, et. til. against the Scran
ton Railway company; D. B. Madden,
et. al. against the Scranton Railway
company; Johanna Ferdinando against
the city of Scranton; Bridget A. Moran
against the Scranton Railway com
pany; Emma Haas against the Scran
ton Railway company; Joseph AA'alker,
et. al. against C T. AVlse, et. al.; E. K.
Thomas against Margaret Collins; E.
E. Thomas against Nora Collins.
Councilmen Make Answer.
Lewis Richards, Henry McGariity,
G, C. Rles, John Kruchank and John
Rellly, members of the borough coun
cil, of Dickson City, made answer yes
teiday in Clerk Daniels' ottlce, to thu
petition of ten citizens of the borough
to have tho councilmen removed for
lading to reorganize within ten days
utter the first Monday In April as re
quired by law.
The respondents deny that Stephen
Beddoe was a member of council from
tlte First ward, and that J. C. Iluf
nagle was a member from the Third
ward; and further, they deny that
theie is a vacancy lu the First wurd,
They then go on to deny specifically
that they failed to reoiganlze within
the time prescribed hy law, and make
the averment that reorganization wos
effected on Monday, March 3.
The litigation grows out of the dead
lock In the Dickson City council. The

In orphans' court before Judge John B.

in the uudlt of tho estate of Charles
Stuart, deceased, for the purpose of

tions were filed to the account of the
executor, but a claim was presented
against the estate by a daughter of
the testator, Mrs. Collins, who paid tho
funeral expenses, and claims (his
should bo lepuld her out of the estate,
The executor claims she had In her
hands enough money of the testator to

ter will come up for argument at u time

WE HAVE TWO
POOR BOARDS
ELECTED DIRECTORS WERE NOT
GIVEN SEATS.
Four of Them Met and Elected John
F. Murphy President They Sny
That Today They Will Begin to
Exorcise tho Functions of Poor Di
rectors Mr. Dickort Said to Be
Acting Without Authority for tho
Last Three Years Old Board Is
Prepnred to Fight.
Scranton now bus two poor boards,
One Is composed of R. G. Brooks,
Frederick Fuller, Timothy Burke, Dr.
AV. A. Paine, Frank Dlckcrt, Samuel
AVIUIums und Thomas Shotton, who
were appointed by tho court. Tho
members of the other board are! John
J. Murphy, M. F. Hundley, Fred Xulif
and F. AV. Bergc. They claim title to
the office through an election con
ducted on Feb. 18 last. James A.
Evans, Thomas Shotton and R. G.
Brooks were also elected, but have not
Joined with the other four elected.
Vat'lotiB kinds of uupleusaiit complica
tions will follow in the wake of the
attempt of both boards to transact the
business of the district, nnd much liti
gation is in sight.
After the routine business of the old
board was disposed of yesterday, At
torney John J. Murphy said he had two
matters ( to bring before tho board and
asked tliut he be given tho privilege of
the lloor. On motion of Dr. Paine, this
was granted to him and Mr. Murphy
made formal demand for the seat from
the South ward of the borough of
Scranton for tho term beginning the
third Friday of March, 1S03, which ex
pired yesterday.
REQUEST REFUSED.
Mr. Murphy said he had been regu
larly elected for that period, and after
his election had asked to bo seated, but
his request had been refused. He
showed that Mr. Dlckei't had not been
appointed for the. term now drawing
to a close, and that ho (Murphy) was
the only person who had any title to
the oillce and he asked to be admitted
as a member. His demand was re
fused a second time and at his request
a minute of the demand and refusal
was spread upon the records of the
board.
Mr. Murphy then apprised the board
that on Feb. IS last ho had been again
elected for a period of tliree years and
since Mr. Dickert lias no right to the
oillce, asked that he be ad
mitted as a member for the
term of three years, -which be
gins today. He called the attention of
the board to the fact that Sir. Dick
ert's term expired tliree years ago and
thatr the terms of Dr. Paine, Mr. Shot
ton and Mr. Fuller expired yesterday,
and that they had not been reappoint
ed. Sir. Shotton was elected his own
successor.
Sir. Murphy demanded that the cer
tificates of election of nil those elected
in February be leceived and the own
ers of them admitted as members of
the board. Sir. Murphy, James Evans,
Fred Bcrge, Fred Fuhr and SI. F.
Hundley handed in their certificates,
and they were read by the secretary.
NOT IN PROPER FORM.
Sir. Fuller, who was presiding In the
absence of Sir. Brooks, who Is in Eu
rope, tjaid that several of the certifi
cates were not in proper form, as they
did not specify iu what districts tho
elections were conducted. After a
whispered consultation between Messrs.
Shotton and Fuller and Attorney J. F.
Scragg, the solicitor of the board, Sir.
Shotton Introduced the following reso
lution, which was adopted:
Wheiejs, Certain claims aie made tli.it the
piescut hoaiil of dhcctois of the bcrautou poor
di'stiict is illegally constituted, and that the
di ice tors holding- Kiiil positions are not legally

Sir. Murphy said " the resolution
neither gavo them the otlk-es nor de
nied them to them. He demanded that
tho board go squarely on record, and
011 motion of Dr. Paine tho certificates
were received and the board refused to
seat the applicants. Sir. Murphy had
this fact properly spread on the min
utes, and when this was done he served
notice that the men who were refused
a placo on the board would proceed to
organize and transact the affairs of the
Scranton poor district.
MR. EVANS AV1TI1DREW,
"Where will you organize?" asked one
of the members.
"Right In this room." replied Sir.
Murphy,
At this point Sir. Evans, one of the
elected members, withdrew, declining
to participate In the organization of tho
second board.
Thu business of the old board dragged
along and there was no apparent de
sire to vacate and permit tho second
board to organize. Then Slessrs. Slur
phy, Fuhr, Bergo und Hundley got to.
gethcr In 0110 side of thu roam und
elected Sir. Murphy, president; Mr.
Fuhr, secretary, and Sir. Merge, treas-urM-.
When the regular business ot the old
board wus over the members decided
to go Into executive session to consider
plans for a new building at the home.
The room was ut onco ordered clear. It
was feared the new members might ob
ject to going and the pollco had been
asked to cleur tho room, but their ser
vices were not needed. All of tho new
members departed, and said Unit today
they will ussume the functions of poor I
mreciois,
The old board members say they have
no feur of the rival boaid, tliut even
admitting that the members mo to be
elected that there Is no vacancy In
Dunmoro or Providence township, and
that Fred Fuhr and F, AV. Berge, who
represented thesu (wo divisions on the
new bourd, hove no valid claim what
ever to a seat on the board or to par
ticipate lii tho organization of a board,
Tho old board members say they aie
prepared to fight the matter iu the
court to the end that thu exact status
of tho noor board may be determined
for all time and the uncertainty that
now exists ended.
