BIO FESTIVAL OF BONO.
Leading. German Societies of the Two
Valleya Participate.
A big festival of song was given last
night at Music hall, under tho aus
pices of tho Jungor Mnennerchor, the
far-famed musical organization of
South Scranton. German singers from
all parts of the city, and societies from
Wllkes-Barro and Curbondalo partici
pated. Tho programme was a varied and In
teresting one. The Junger Macnner
chor opened tho singing with two
numbers, "Es Habon Zwel Rlumlem
GcbrUeht" and "Orusst sic veil Tuu
Hendmal," by Srhrader and Chevalier
respectively. The Wllkes-Uarre Llod-
crtafel rendered the Kern "Scheldo
grttss" nnd the Bnrchert "Melno Mut
ter Sprache." Tho Carbondale Ger
manla sang "Orusso un die Helmut"!
the Swoltr.er Maennerchor, composed
exclusively ot Swiss singers of Scran
ton, sang Helm's "Im Fruhllng"; tho
Scranton Llederkranz was heard In
"Ausgowahlt," nnd tho Abclter Fort
blldungs Verein rendered "Wunsch,"
by W. Witt. The concluding chorus
was "My Old Kentucky Homo," by the
Junger Maennerchor.
There wore ulso solos 'by Miss Lydla
F. Sailer, soprano, and Gustuve Rep
ptrt, tenor, and selections by Bauer's
oicliestru.
It was a most delightful evening of
song and the large audience evinced
deep gratitude to the Junger Maen
nerchor for so rare a treat.
The festival was under tho direc
tion of a committee consisting of Al
fred Quthelnz, John Stoeber, August
Schlmpff, John Kempher and Fred
Hermann.
The president of the Junger Maen
nerchor is City Treasurer E. J. Robin
son. Wllliuin Zeismer Is vice presi
dent, and the trustees are Otto J. Rob
inson, Peter Zaug and Gits Schimpff.
THEY WANTED A BONUS.
Twentieth Ward Property Owners
Wanted to Get Good Compensa
tion from the City.
The plans for the construction of a
part of the sewer system which Is to be
consttucted In the Twentieth ward pro
vide for the running of one branch of
the sewer through private property for
a distance of several hundred feet.
Counclls.reallzlng that damages might
bo claimed, recently passed a resolution
directing the recorder, tho director of
public works and the city solicitor to
meet with tho owners of property af
fected and endeavor to secure an amic
able adjustment without recourse to the
appointment of viewers. It was thought
at the time of the passage of tills reso
lution that the fifteen or more propei ty
owners affected would be content to
waive all damage claims, providing tho
city agreed not to assess them anything
for the cost of constructing tho sower.
If this idea lingered in the minds of
cither Recorder Connell, Director of
Public Works Roche or City Solicitor
AVatson. it was eradicated very bhortly
after the opening of a conference yes
terday afternoon between the three offi
cials mentioned and tho-proporty own
ers. The flrbt man called upon to state
what he thought he should receive was
a little bashful about making any esti
mate until someone else said something.
Then the man next to him said he
wanted his sewer assessment free and
a bonus of $400. This gave the first man
courage, and he said he'd take $200 and
his bower assessment free. Everybody
called upon wanted their sewer assess
ment free and all the way from $150 to
$100 in damages.
Recorder Council finally announced
that he and the other city ofllcers will
visit tho properties affected, in the near
future, and look over tho ground per
sonally before arriving at any dcllnito
conclusion.

APPEALS IN
LOCAL CASE
WAY THE HIGHER COURTS
DEALT WITH THEM.
Superior Court at Pittsburg De
cides That the City Has No Power
to Pass the Ordinance Establishing
Rates for tho Scranton Gas and
Water Company George W. Jen
klns Allowed' Compensation by the
Supreme Court at the Rate of
85,000 Per Annum,
Decisions In Important local cases
were handed down yesterday by the
state appellate courts. Tho Superior
court, sitting In Pittsburg, nfllrmed
the finding of the local court that the
Scranton Ons and Water company, nnd
not the city councils, has authority to
fix tho water rates.
The Supreme court, sitting In Phila
delphia, reversed tho finding of the local
court as to tho compensation to be al
lowed George W. Jenkins, as delinquent
tux collector, fixing It at $1,250 for the
throe months covered by the period for
which air. Jenkins brought suit, In
stead of $72.50, which was allowed him
by the local court on a commission
basis. Other decisions were as follow s:

county. Judgment affirmed.
The Schroeder caso was brought to
test the validity of an ordinance passed
by councils llxing the water rates. Mr.
Schroeder received a bill for water rent.
He tendered payment at the rates fixed
by the city ordinance. Tho company
refused to accept the tender and threat
ened to shut off the water supply from
Mr. Schroeder's premises. Mr. Schroe
der went into equity court to prevent
this, alleging that tho company could
not charge more than the city ordin
ance provided.
MR. BURNS' CONTENTION.
I. H. Burns, Mr. Schroeder's attor
ney, argued that there was nothing in
the company's charter giving it the
right to fix the rates nnd that such
right rested with the city under the
"general welfare" clause of lis delegat
ed powers. The company replied that
the legislature had fixed a definite man
ner of revising rates charged by a water
compuny, which is to have each indiv
idual complaining customer go into
court to secure a revision, and that this
and no other way was legal of revising
a company s rates.
Judge Edwards, in an opinion for the
local court coincided wllh the com
pany's contention, and the superior
court now coincides with Judge Ed
wards. Major Everett Warren and
Congressman O. H. Olmstead, of Iliir
risburg, represented the company.
The Jenkins' delinquent tax collector
case went into the courts In tho form
of a case-stated.
April 1, 1001, George W. Jenkins was
appointed by ex-Recorder Jnmcs Molr
as collector of delinquent taxes under
the provisions of tho second class city
act. The act provided that the recor
der shall appoint a delinquent tax col
lector. It also contained a provision
that "councils may by ordinance pro
vide that the city trrasuier may bo
appointed collector of delinquent taxes.
Tho "chaser" to tho second class city
act, made the ofllce of city treasurer
appointive instead of elective. The
second class city act fixed the compen
sation of tho collector at $5,000 per an
num, but provided that councils might
reduce this to not less than $2,500 per
annum.
Tho re-organlzatlou ordinance signed
W 1?onnrilpi. Mnll Anrll i thp tlav nflpp
compensation at three-fifths of five per
cent, of money collected on real estate
and ten per cent, onfall other taxes.
Recorder Molr did not appoint the city
treasurer collector as was piovlded by
the ordinance he should do.
TERMS OF THE CASE.
Mr. Jenkins brought suit for three
months' salary at the rate of $5,000 per
annum. In the case-stated it was
agreed that the court should say, first,
whether or not Jenkins was legally ap
pointed delinquent tax collector, and
second, whether he should be compen
sated at the rate ot $5,000 per annum,
or by the commission fixed by ordin
ance, which by calculation was found
to be $72.50.
The local court dcclddl that Mr. Jen
kins was legal y appointed collector, but
declined to go outside the facts In the
ense-stated and say what would be the
effect of tho recoidtr appointing the
city treasurer as delinquent tax col
lector, as was done bv Recorder Con
nell, in July, while tho case was pend
ing. As to tho compensation to which
Mr, Jenkins was entitled, the court said
that It believed there was no room for
argument, but that It should be accord
ing to the percentage rate fixed by
councils. The Supremo couit asrres
with tho local court In the finding Hint
Mr Jenkins was the delinquent tax col
lector In April, May and June, but finds
that ho was entitled to compensation at
tho i a to of $5,000 n year, as provided by
tho statute, councils having tailed to
exeiclso Its nreiogntlvo of reducing It
to "not less than $2,500."
Tho case is far from bcln finally
settled. Mr, Jenkins will likely sue for
the lemainder of tho $5,000, and Insist
upon being recognized ns tho delinquent
tax collector, dtsplto the fact that tho
recorder in July last, In obedience to
,,,,,,
tt.t,,,,,,.
.,.. , .
the reorganisation ordinance, appointed
the city treasurer as delinquent tux cot
lector. Tho question now at Issue, how
ever, Is a slmplo oiip. It Is as to whether
or not tho appointment of tho city
treasurer acted as a removal of Mr.
Jenkins,
Vosburg & Dawson and later ex
Judgo Carpenter represented Mr. Jen
kins. City Solicitor Watson nnd H. C.
Reynolds represented the city.
TRIPP ESTATE APPEALS.
In the matter of tho Trloo estate
there were two appeals. Tho lato Ira
Tripp provided In his will that the In
come of his estate should be paid to the
two grand-children, or their survivors,
share nnd share alike, neither of them
to receive more than one-half thereof.
Walter Tripp and Catherine Brdadbent
were the two grand-children. Waller
died, leaving as his heir his daughter,,
Rosano Tripp. Rosalie's guardian, the
Lackawnnnn Trust and Safe Deposit
company, nsked that one-hnlf the es
tate should be given the great-grand-
cniiti, or else an allowance. The trus
tees of Ira Tripp estate opposed this on
the ground that Catherine was entitled
to the whole of the Income during her
lifetime.
Judge Vosburg decided that the child
of Wulter was seized of a one-hnlf In
terest In the estate, but possession was
suspended until after the death of
Catherine Uroadbent, tho surviving
grand-child, and that the great-grandchild,
Rosane. having "an estate In
prospect," was entitled to draw upon It
for maintenance. The judge ilxed
Rosano's allowance at $100 per month.
Roth parties appealed, the great
grandchild wanting to secure her
father's half of tho estate, and the tius
tees desiring to defeat the allowance.
In the appeal of the Lackawanna
Trust and SaYe Deposit company, tho
deciee Is vacated and set aside, and In
the appeal of the Tripp trustees, the
decieo Is reversed. :us means, ac
cording to the opinion of the Intel ested
attorneys, that tho great-grandchild,
Rosane Tripp, can Immediately come
into possession ot one-half of tho Tripp
estate.
NETTLETON-CARYL CASE.
The Nettleton-Caryl case Is one be
tween F. E. Nettleton and J. D. Caryl.
Mr. Nettleton sold lane to Mr. Caryl
on contract. By a mistake of his at
torney, so he alleged, the agreement
failed to make any provision for inter
est. When the last payment was to
be made, Mr. Caryl demanded a re
ceipt In full on tendering the balance
of the principle.
Mr. Nettleton demanded the balance
of principal and interest. The local
court was convinced that the agree
ment contemplated the allowance of
interest and reformed the contract ac
cordingly. The superior court con
cludes that the evidence was not suf
ficient to warrant the -court! In insert
ing the usual interest clause.
ORDINANCE IS ILLEGAL.
Hence Bids for Paving Portion of
Washburn Street Were All Re
jected Yesterday.
City Solicitor Watson's declaration
that the ordinance providing for the
laying of a brick pavement on Wash
burn street, between Stunner and Van
Buren avenues, Is illegal, resulted in
the rejection yesterday afternoon of tho
three bids received for the work.
The solicitor declared that tho sys
tem of assessment provided for by the
ordinance is unwarranted by law. The
ordinance movldes for the assessment
of built-up and agricultural property,
according to the loot-front rule, and
this is not permissible under the law,
the solicitor said. AVlien llieio arc dif
ferent classes of property on a thor
oughfare which Is to bo paved, he de
clared, the suburban and agricultural
property must be assessed according to
benefits received, nnd by no other
method.
Another reason which contributed to
tho rejection of the bids is that tho
ordinance provides for tho laying of
curb of a specific size and kind to take
the place of curb already provided for
by ordinance, laid and paid for by tho
abutting property owners. The latter
contend that this curb Is In good con
dition and that they should not bo
charged for putting down new cuib.
The bids received were all rejected by
Recorder Connell and Director of Pub
lic Works Roche, but nothing has been
decided as to future plans. It is be
lieved, however, that a new ordinance
will be prepared by the city solicitor
and Introduced In councils at an early
date. The bids received yesterday weio
as follows;
Jf. II. Dale I'avp under car tucks, $2.23 per
squire yard; from curb to car tinclc, $1,W) per
square yard; keeping in repiir for rue .icars, -2
cents per square jard; straight imb, Sj cents

70 tents per lineal foot; circular curb, 70 cents
per lineal foot.
COYNE WOULDN'T COMPROMISE.
P. J. Phllbln failed to appear yester
day before Alderman Kassou to prose
cute tho charge of embezzlement, which
he brought against Tux Collector John
J, Coyne, of Mlnooka. Mr. Coyne was
present and Insistent upon a hearing,
but at tho urgent request of the prose
cutor's attorney, Hon, John p, Quinnan,
the cuse was continued until Saturday.
Mr. Quinnan took tho responsibility
to offer to withdraw the charge if the
defendant would ugreo to make an ac
counting uccoidlng to a form proposed
by tho prosecution. Mr, Coyne refused
to consider the offer, saying that he
had honestly made an accounting ac
cording to the form which his counsel
had advised him was the legnl one, and
he proposed to stand by It.
At all events, he said, maximum pen
alty for the specific offense with which
he Is charged Is a fine of $100, nnd ho
would diminish his stock of govern
ment bonds to that extent rather than
grainy 1110 prosecution uy a compro

deep love and affection In which the
congregation of that chutch holds Rev.
Dr. R, S. Jones, the pastor.
Last night brought to an end the
celebration of the thirtieth anniversary
of Dr. Jones' pastorate and tho crown
ing event was the formal presentation
ot gifts to both him and his faithful
wife. The gift purchased by the con
gregation for the doctor was a mag
nificent leather upholsteied rocking
chalr.whlch occupied a prominent place
on the centre of the platform behind
the pulpit.
THE PRESENTATION.
The church was crowded to the doors
with mcmbeis of the congiegatlon and
many wcie obliged to stand in the ves
tibule. When Thomas R. Williams?
white haired, nearly SO, and a member
of the church for over thlity years,
arose to make the presentation speech,
there were whispeiings in the pews of
"It's the chair, now. He's going to
give him the cliair' and on every face
there was a huppy smile as if every
body felt delighted to think that he or
she had helped buy that chair which
represented in concrete form the love
and devotion of them all. J
Mr. Williams was happy, too, and 11
broad smile illumined his face as he
set the chair rocking and then stood
buck in admiration to look at it. He
made an addiess in Welsh, in which he
said that no gift could possibly bo rich
or rare enough to propei ly compensate
Dr. Jones for his long yenis or faithful
toll in the -ci vice of Him whoso love
surpas-seth all understanding.
Ho made a formal presentation of th.
gift and then walked over to where Dr.
Jones sat and escorted him over to the
chair and sat him down in it. Then
the old man's enthusiasm and happi
ness bubbled over and he lmpulsic,ly
leaned forward and kissed Dr. Jones
on each cheek. Then it was that the
doctor's self-reserve left him. He took
air. Williams- nanus m ins lor a mo
ment and shook them heartily as the
tens stiearned down his cheeks. He
sat for a minute in his new chair as on
a throne and his look betrayed that he
was piouder than many a one who
rules by "loyal right divine," because
he had the satisfaction of knowing that
ho ruled not over vast domains, but
in tho hearts of his people.
GIFT FOR MRS. JONES.
The doctor at last found voice, and
in a few woids he expressed his deep
sense or gratitude at this tribute of his
congregation's loyalty. Then Mis.
Jones was called to the platform and
was presented with u beautiful clock
by Mrs. Sarah Rlchauls. The doctor's
faithful wife was ctylng softly us "she
murmured her thanks, and so was near
ly everyone in the congregation. It
was altogether 11 scene of singular lm
presslveness. The night session was presided over
by Rev. Theophllus Davis, of Plains,
and one of tho most Interesting fea
tures, asldo fiom the presentation, was
a brief address by Thomas Myrddln
Jones, of Orange, N, J., a son of Dr.
Jones, who paid a beautiful tribute
to his father's ClulRtlan character, and
to tho hoine-llfo with which ho was sur
lounded when ha was young, and which
has always had such a marked inllu
enco on his life.

Have You a
Perfect Form
Probably not. Few women have. But
many natural defects can be overcome or
reduced to aminimum by the use ol" a proper
ly modelled corset. Harsh angularities can
be converted into strong, graceful lines by the
. B. a la Spirite Corset
best suited to your figure. This celebrated
line embraces some thirty-six different
styles, all with the popular straight front,
and the artistic rendering of your figure is
simply a matter of selecting the right style.)
-To aid you, we have engaged the serv
ices of Mrs. Lewis, demonstrator, recently
with Simpson, Crawford & Simpson, ',New
York. Do not fail to get the benefit of her
experience in corset selection and figure cor
rection. Come in and talk it over regardless
of whether you need a corset or not.
