OOOD PRACTICE GAME.
Manager Lnwson Had His Men Hard
at Work Yesterday.
The Hcriiiiton lcnRiie team had some
good practice In a game with the locals
yesterdny afternoon nt the park. Mali
nger t.tiwson nlso hud ttn opportunity
to "try but" two young pitchers, who
have been anxious to secure positions
on the Hcranton team. A deaf mute
pitcher named Keller, from Olyphnnt,
who lntt Reason pitched for the R. H.
D. club, of Philadelphia, twirled the
Hpheiu for .Heinnton, while Zimmerman,
ti senil-profesolomtl, who pitched for
the Brldgeton, X, J club last season,
pitched for the locals. The locals were
also telnforced by Ralney, Wlllse, Fer
ris and McOarry, of the Hcranton team.
The leaguern played In fine form and
hud little dllllculty In winning nway
from the locals, by a seote of 15 to 0.
SehnmltB and Nickels hit the ball snv
agely, the former for a home run and a
triple, and the latter for a. triple and
double.
For the locals Rtilney did great back
stop work nnd caught three men who
tiled to steal second base. Keller let
the locals down with six hits, nnd It Is
Manager I.uw.son's Intention of giving
him a further trial with the Hcrunton
team. The following Is the scoie:

RUSHED THE SEASON.
Hot Weather Arrived Away Ahead
of Time and Caused No Little
Discomfort.
Summer weather struck the town
yestetday, 11 few weeks ahead of sched
ule time, and nhijed &ad havoc with
the tetnppts of the. vast maloiity of
Sciantonians who are still wearing win
ter clothing and who conseciuently
sweltered all day long.
AVeatherman Clarke had fotecasted
rain for yesterday, but the storm which
he had looked for this cltv jumped Its
contract with him nnd ulayed a date
up north silong the Great Lakes. This
storm was the cause of all the trouble,
so Mr. Clarke says. It blew tin fiom
the gulf on Sunday and on Monday was
KUItit; a performance in Kansas. In
stead of coming cast, however, it went
due north, but its doing so forced warm
winds as far ns the Atlantic co.iht.
AVeatherman Clarke gives a scientillc
explanation of why this is so, that is a
positive delight to listen to.
The warm spell llrst becan to he
noticeable early jesterday morning. At
S o'clock the weather was like an ordi
nary summer day's. At noon the ther
mometer registered Si; degiees and at -o'clock
it recorded S7 degiers.
Rut this was the weather bateau ther
mometer, which is on the loof of the
eight-story Connell building, fanned by
"all the winds that blow." Down In the
street, where fat men perspirpd and
women wished they had worn their
shit t waists, it was !I0 degrees and one
or two theiinomete,is of perhaps un
certain reputation reglsteied even as
high as Dt degrees.
It was altogether the hottest April 22
that has been experienced here in many
years and was In striking contrast to
another April 22, which a Tribune man
heard tin old Inhabitant telling about a
few days ago. On that particular April
22 It snowed to the dentil of neiirlv n
foot and was bitter cold. Rut that was
many, many years ago.
AVeatherman Clarke says we are going
to have continued warm weather today,
but promises rain for tonight.
A BIG SEASON ASSURED.
Lodore Will Be the Mecca for Ex
cursionists the Coming' Season.
All indications point to Lake Lodore
as the most popular of all excursion re
sorts for the fast-approaching season,
nnd to even surpass its immense busi
ness of last year. The individual ex
cursionist prefers a lake resort, and the
scenic beauties of Lodore Itself, its, far
spreading grove, Incomparable dance
pavilion, Its merry-go-round, the de
light of the children, Its well-equipped
kitchens, clam oven, refreshment
booths, Spalding ball grounds, naphtha
launches, steamer, large excursion boat
and varied other amusements render It
a summer parndlse, and at the same
time the most profit-making resort for
churches nnd societies. There are some
splendid dates left, for the privilege of
which please appply to W. L. Pryor,

UPHELD CLAIM
OF A SQUATTER
SUPERIOR COURT REVERSES
THE DUFFY CASE.
To Secure Judgment of Ejectment
Against a Squatter Is Not Suf
ficient to Toll the Continuation of
0 Squatter's Occupancy After
Judgment Is Secured the Plaintiff
Must Oust the Squatter and Take
Possession Valuable Tract in Car
bondale Involved.
One of the Litckawnnna cases decided
by the Superior court, In Pittsburg,
Monday, was that of Mary Duffy
against Mary t' Duffy, a suit In eject
ment for a valuable tract of land In
Carbondalc. The finding of the local
court, In favor of the plaintiff, was re
vet sed.
The plaintiff Is grand-aunt of the
defendant. Another Maty tyuffy. grand
mother of the defendant, settled on the
land In 1S42 nnd ncqulred squatter title.
In 18TG she conveyed to hr.r infant
granddaughter, thp ptesent defendant.
The grund-uunt, the plaintiff In this
case, was allowed to leslde on the land
after the grandmother's death and was
not disturbed until she purchased a
deed for the property from the Deln
wate and Hudson company in Septem
ber, 18911, when the granddaughter pro
ceeded to eject her, and got a verdict.
Under the old law It was necessary
to get two 'erdlcts In ejectment to
make a title valid. The second action
was Instituted with the granddaughter
as defendant. AVhen the case came to
tt lal the Delaware and Hudson com
pany, which was the leal plaintiff,
showed thut at one time dining the
twenty-one years In which the grand
mother was ttcqultlng squatter title, It
proceeded against her in ejectment and
secured judgment. This, It was con
tended by the company, tolled the
squatter right and left the grandmother
without any title to convey to the
granddaughter.
In answer to this, the granddaughter
contended that the judgment In eject
ment had not been proceeded with to
a point necessary to break In on the
twenty-one years' possession, the com
pany never having taken possession.
The Iqcal couit decided that It was
only necessary to secure a veidict In
ejectment. The Superior court now says
that the company should huve also
taken possession.
OPINION IN CASE.
The opinion of the Supctior court,
written by Judge Beaver, follows:
1. 'I ue piincipil question imoHod in till-, up
pi il, as 'If.ted b- llio appellant and aiceptcd In
the appllci, is "Doci- the rctoierv of a judg

Ihe F.uural rule upon (Ills mhioct, ns st ited in

judgment will not of Itself slop the running- of
the st itiuc- of limitations; there must be an ai

PAVING LIENS
ARE DEFECTIVE
FIVE OF THEM, ARE STRICKEN
OFF BY COURT,
City Failed to File Them Within the
Presciibed Sixty Days, and as a
Result the Properties Are Released
from Liability Attempt to Defend
on the Ground That the Final As
sessment Was Not Actually Made
Until Three Days After the Wi it
ten Date.
Five municipal liens for the AVest
Luckiiwanna avenue paving, done In
IS!", were yesterday struck off by court
because of technical error. Tlio prop
erties against whom' the Hens were dir
rected are John Donahue, Patrick
Hugan, J. A. Cuespsp, John tlaffney nnd
Mrs, A, Connell. This means the city
will have to pay the bills Itself or col
lect the money from thj property hold
em, personally, the property no longer
being liable.
The lleiiH were defective for the ren
son that they were not filed within six
months of the time of making the tlnul
assessment. The date marked on the
llnal assessment was Dec. 4, 18D7. The
Hens were filed June 7, 1898, or three
days more than six months after the
date unit keel oil the llnal assessment.
The city's defense was that while the
assessment bore date of Dec. 4, It was
Dec. 7, when the assessment was ac
tually made, the dute of Dec. 4 being
the date on which It was begun. Court
held that the date written on the as
sessment was the one that must con
trol and summailly struck off the Hens.
Attorney Thomas P. Duffy appealed
for the property holders and Assistant
City Solicitor D. J. Davis for the city.
