tlie topmost summit of the Jungfrnu,
having been taken from a narrow pas
sngewny on the edge of a precipitous
cliff rising 1J.00O feet above the level
of the valley below.
There were scenes .showing a panor
amlc view of the grand canal In Venice
and one which the audience seemed to
like most of all showed the Shamrock
and Columbia rounding the stake bunt
on the afternoon of one of the big
yacht races last fall.
An able corps of assistants were sta
tioned behind the canvas on which the
pictures were shown, and they succeed
ed in giving Imitations of well known
sounds during the progress of the ex
hibition. There was a splendid Imita
tion of the splash of water which was
used during the showing of the marine
views and the sound of a. putting loco
motive was simulated to perfection.
HAVEN'T AGREED TET.
Select Council Democrats Hold An
other Futile Caucus.
At the end of the caucus of the Demo
cratic members of select council, s hlch
was held last Thursday night, the said
members were in a state of tumult
and strife. They are still in this state,
despite the fact that they held a long
caucus at the St. Charles hotel last
night.
Councilman D. W. Vaughan again re
fused to nttend the caucus, which be
gan at 0 o'clock and which continued,
with intermissions, until after 11
o'clock. When adjournment was taken
no candidate had been agreed upon,
but the members present were unani
mous In assuring the newspaper men
that at the final meeting, to be held
tomorrow night, a candidate agreeable
to everyone would be selected.
"How about Vaughan?" was asked.
"Oh, he'll be at the next meeting all
right," said one of the members, "and
he'll accept the candidate selected."
Mr. Vaughan himself Is non-committal
and refuses to say whether or not
he will attend tomorrow night's caucus.
The difficulty which is presenting it
fcelf seems to be that no candidate
agreeable to everyone can. be. picked up,
There are enough votes to choose, as
the candidate of the caucus, but the
question which is bothering the mem
bers is 'Could ho get all the eleven
voles, on the morning of reorganiza
tion'."' On the surface, everything is ap
parently all serene, but there are cur
rents and cross-currents, undertows
and other things beneath.
Messrs. Costello and Coleman left last
night's caucus earlier than the other
members, but the others explained that
this had no significance. Mr. Cohtello's
appearance, however, indicated that he
was In no pleasant frame of mind
when he left. .

EVIDENCE FOR
THEJJEFENSE
IT IS BEING OFFERED IN THE
EJECTMENT SUIT.
Allegation Is That the Tax Sale of
the Pioperty Nullified the Declar
ation of Trust Given by W. W.
Wlnton to Isaac Dean Keegan In
surance Case Had to Go Over on
Account of the Illness of an Im
portant Witness Case Against
City on Trial.
All of yesteiday was consumi'd In the
trial of the ejectment suit of A. D,
Dean. tuite. against I. M, Wlnton,
executor, to recover a lialf-lntercst In
forty-two actes of coal land In Uteen
wood. The plaintiff completed the paper
title on which his claim to the land Is
based, and put A. H. Dunning on the
tiind to Identify the land mentioned in
thi deeds as that claimed In the no
tion now on tllal.
Attorney C. 11. Welles opened the case
for the defendant, and following that
the paper title of the defendant. J. 11.
Lnubach and Sterling Davis, clerks In
the commissioners' olllce ot Luzerne
county, produced a number of the tax
books of the early 70's, before the divis
ion of the county, showing the names of
the persons to whom the laud in ques
tion was assessed.
The theory of the defense Is that the
trust agreement for one-half of the land
given by W. W. Wlnton to Isaac Dean
at the time of the sale, was rendered
void when the whole property was sold
by the commissloneis of Luzerne county
'for taxes and was purchased by W. W.
Wlnton.
The case of J. li. Ollhood against L.
A. Roberts, of Caibondale, called for
trial before Judge Kelly, Monday after
noon, wns given to the jury yesterday
afternoon, but u verdict had not been
agreed upon ut adjourning hour.
Martin Corrigan against John Stan
ton and others, trespass, was the next
case called, but there were not sufficient
jurors available to select' twelve good
men and true from, and the opening of
the case had to be deferred until this
morning.
The case of Miss Kate Keegen
against the Metropolitan Insurance
company was put on trial before Judge
J. B. Slmonton, and a jury sworn. The
case was called Monday but was put
over until yesterday on account of the
Illness of an important witness for the
defense, who Its was thought would be
able to be In court yesterday.
After the jury was sworn, Former
Judge E. N. Willard, attorney for the
defendant company, presented a physi
cian's certificate showing that the wit
ness was confined to his bed yesterday.
He asked permission to have 'the testi
mony of the witness taken at a former
triat read. Attorney C. W. Dawson ob
jected to this, saying he wanted an
opportunity to cross-examine the wit
ness further. It was thereupon agreed
to have the case go over until the next
term. A juror was withdtawn and tlie
case continued.
The case was tried about a year ago
and the Jury dlsagteed. The plaintiff
seeks to collect $300, the amount of an
Insurance policy on the life of her
mother. The company resists payment
on the ground that the policy was ob
tained by a mis-statement of facts.
The ttespass case of Miss Sarah J.
Moore against the city of Scranton was
tried before Judge Slmonton. The
plaintiff owns a property on Pawnee
street. In the Third ward of this city,
which she alleges was greatly damaged
by surface water thrown upon it by the
opening of Oak street by the city la
18S9. The testimony for the plaintiff
was to the effect that the water fiom
Oak street was thrown onto Paw-nee
street and thence lan onto the land of
the plaintiff, damaging the walls of the
house, the trees In the lot and the
garden.
After the plaintiff lested, City Solici
tor Watson asked for a non-suit on the
ground that no negligence on the patt
of the city was shown; that the im
provement was made by virtue and
that it wns not established that the
plaintiff was the owner of the lot, as
the deed is In the name of 13. Moore.
Judge Slmonton refused the non-suit,
and allowed the plaintiff to offer testi-
money later to show that the name of
K Moore In tlie deed tas a mistake
and was meant to be Sarah J. Mooie.
Solicitor Wat-ion then opened the case
to the jury, lie ald they would show
thai It Ih impossible for water to tlow
fiom Oak street to Pawnee sneet un
less It (lowed up hill. City Engineer
Phillips was then called anil tuld about
the opening of Oak stteet. The ttittl of
the case will be resumed this morning.

LASTED ONLY
A FEW HOURS
PAINTERS' STRIKE ENDED THE
DAY IT BEGAN.
Each Side Made Concessions and an
Amicable Adjustment Was; the
Result Eight-Hour Day at Old
Nine-Hour Wage Is Granted, but
the Old Rate of Wages Is to Be
Fald on All Work Contracted for
Last Fall and Not Yet Finished.
The expected painters' strike came
and went In a day. All the Journeymen
employed by the larger firms, excepting
twenty-six employed by Jacobs it Ftvit
old and Charles lleilg, lumalned 11 way
fiom work, yesterday morning, as the
union had d'"ccted. Dining this day
the master painters ami a committee of
the strikers got together, and by giv
ing and taking succeeded In adjusting
their differences.
Tho men had been receiving a mini
mum wage of ' cents an hour for nine
hours. They demanded that beginning
April 1 they should receive a minimum
of 28 1-8 cents for eight horns. They
also demanded that on all out of town
Jobs the employer should pay their
railroad fare and board.
The master painters were willing to
concede ull these demands, providing
they did not go Into effect until May 1,
and providing further that Journeymen
when laid off on account of slack times
should not take Jobs at less than the
master painters charged.
The two sides could not agree and,
yesterday, the strike order went into
effect and was generally obeyed. In
the afternoon the master painters as
sembled In the store of Jacobs & Fas
old and met u committee of the strik
ers, headed by Walking Delegate Peter
Holton. After a lengthy conference an
agreement was -at rived at. It was in
substance that the journeymen's do-'
mands should be granted, to take effect
as of April 1; that the old rate of
wages should obtain on all jobs con
tracted for last fall and not yet com
pleted, and that when a journeyman
who is laid oft takes nn Independent
job he shall turn it over to the shop in
which he was last employed.
The eight hour day will be divided
Into two shifts of four hours each, from
S to 12 a. in,, and 1 to 5 p. in. The new
schedule practically means only the
cutting down of the houis of lalior.
The wages still remain at $2.25 a day.
The master painters who have signed
the agreement are: Jacobs & Fasold,
Charles Rerlg, Alex. Naegll, George
Brlegel, Hulbert & Lyman, Charles Ly
man, Stewart & Fowler. Fred Klugt,
Jacob Kossman and F. J. Johnson.
