IT HAS ONLY
SJXPUPILS
YET CLAIMING TO HAVE A
SCHOOL DISTRICT.
That Very Interesting Municipality,
Old Forge Township, Is In Court
Agntn In a Very Interesting Case.
Attack on Common Councilman
John McHalo's Naturalization
Papers Discloses Some Readable
Testimony Divorced After Being
Deserted Thirty-two Years.
An unusually huge number of cases
of general Interest were, heard, yester
day, by Judges Kdwnrds, Kelly und
N'eweomb In argument court.
One of them came from that un
usually Interesting municipality, Old
Forgo township, of which The Tribune
has had occasion to write about sev
eral time.. In 1S0V, when Old forge
borough was carved out of Old Forge
township, a I0i) acre tract ot laud
owned by the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western company and populated by
live families, was left to constitute
Old Forgo township. The township
recently went Into court to secme an
apportionment of the funds In what
was the Old Forge township school dis
trict. Attorney K. A. Thayer, as ex
aminer, found that the little town
ship's ptff l.ita share of the school
funds was $,000. Tho Old Forge bo
rough school district and the Old Forge
Tax Payers asoclatlon of which Wil
liam Repp is the moving spirit, object
ed to the examiner's (hidings and the
exceptions caine up for a heaTing yes
terday afternoon.
II. M. Hannah, OT.iien & Martin
and J. K. Watklns for the exceptants
argued that the township school dis
trict was not entitled to any share In
the funds as It was a legal impossibil
ity as a school district. There are only
seven voters nnd six children of school
age in the .whole municipality It was
shown, and Its people are not main
taining what would legally be con
templated us the machinery of a school
district. A school district, under the
law, It was argued, is simply an agent
of the state in tjie distribution of a
charity. The township sends its six
children to schools In adjoining muni
cipalities at a total expense of $30 a
year. To give it $3,000 uf the state's
charity would be, it was considered a
misappropriation.
IT MAD12 NO DIFFERENCE.
Major Everltt Warren,- replying for
the township, which is owned by tho
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
compnay. argued that it made no dif
ference how great or how small was
the number of people in the dlstrli't;
the funds from which It was seeking
its share and the only question for the
court was as to whether or not tho
examiner had made a. fair anil equit
able appartionment, and this the other
side did not contest. The township.
he further contended had an existence
fifty years ago has an existence to
day and cannot be wiped off the map
in the manner the exceptants are
adopting.
The attack on the naturalization
papers of Common Councilman John
McHale, of tho Eighteenth ward was
aired at length, by George D. Taylor,
representing AVUliam Rush, Mr. Mc
Hnle's defeated opponent, and Joseph
O'Hrlen, representing Mr. McHale.
McHale was naturalized in this coun
try In 1SS.". He swore be arrived In
this country August. L'l, 1876. when he
was under eighteen years of age. The
complainants aver that he was over
eighteen when he arrived hero and
consequently that his n;iLurul:'.;itloii
papers being hypothecated on fraud
should be cancelled.
Mr. McHale staled in his examina
tion that he was born in Ireland In
1837, came to this country In 1876, re
mained in Scranton two years, went to
Pittsburg and stayed there until lS8i,
he went to England and was married,
returning to Scranton a month later,
hla wife following him In ISSf.
TESTIMONY INVALID.
To discredit Mr. McHnle's story, Mr.
Taylor quoted tho testimony of James
Hums, a resident of the Eichtei'iith
ward, who averred that he met Mcl-Inlo
in 1SS3 and that McHale told him he
had been In the country only two weeks.
The meeting took place in or near a
freight car on the Bloom division of tho
Lackawanna, near the alley connecting
Railroad avenue and Meridian street.
It was at 12 o'clock at night, and Hums
with two companions, one of them a
woman, were having a jollification In
tho car. McHale happened along, and
In the course of a conversation with
Burns said: "I am a greenhorn and
have been In the country only a couple
of weeks,"
'Squire John P. Kelly, another wit
ness whom Mr. Taylor quoted, averred
tlmt he saw McHale for tho first time
twenty-one yenrs ago. He looked then
as if he was a "greenhorn," and peemed
to be as old, as he Is now. McHale was
selling books, tho 'squire testified, and
when nsked on cross-examination bv
Mr, O'Hrlen what book It was. the
'squire replied that to tho best of his
memory It was "The Assassination of
President Ilnyes," or something like
that.
On the cross-examination of McHale,
Mr. Taylor brought out that ho was
selling bookB when he was In Pitts
burg, and that he spent several years
canvassing the city and surrounding
towns. The only surrounding town he
could remember having canvassed was
Cleveland,
In reply to Mr. Taylor, Mr. O'Hrlen
argued that the only witness who gave
any testimony bearing directly on the
case was Hums, und tho depositions
would show, Mr. O'Hrlen said, that
Hums was not worthy of belief,

Arguments Were heard on seven de
murrers to suits In assumpsit brought
to collect paving assessments. The de
murrers were based on tho decision of
the Supreme court In tho SturgcF. case,
In which It was held that a paving as

tho Supreme court declared that the

licitors Watson and Stunrt argued
against them.

the only witness for the prosecution,
Frank Jones, Is not veracious", was sub

The rule for u new trial In the case
of the City of Scranton against Martin

An Interesting hearing is promised for
tomorrow night at Aldermun Knsson's
olllce. The plaintiff is Drayman John
Farrell and tho defendant, Dr. II. A.

One week ago Tuesday, A. Battalllo

ALLOWANCE IS
NOT CUT DOWN
COMPENSATION FOR FEEDING
PRISONERS.
Court Decides That Sheriff Schndt Is
Entitled to the Maximum of Twen-
ty-flve Cents a Head Per Day Cost
of Food Is Now so High, the Court
Says, the Time Is Not Appropriate
for Decreasing the Sheriff's Allow-
anco Below That Which His Pre-
decessors Received.
Sheriff C. H. Schndt Is to continue to
receive twcnty-ilvc cents a head Per
day for feeding prlsonets. An order to
that effect was handed down yesterday
by Judge Newcomb.
Tho count v conitntH'doiiers hnrl Ik en
llxlng the compensation of the sheriff!
for feeding prisoners, and at the begin
ning of the present year they discussed
a proposition of the county controller to
decrease the amount. Thereupon, tho
sheriff's attorneys, O'Hrlen & Murtln, j -7S
proceeded to show that the county jj
commissioners had no jurisdiction in I .m
the matter: that it. rested entirely with' '
the judges and that at till events tlio 4
rate was none too hlsh.
The attorneys for the commissioners ,
and county' controller. County Solicitor rjg
H. L. Taylor and ex-Judge J. W. Car-' vj
penter, did not contend against tltcj;
claim that the commissioners had no fs
power to fix the compensation, but bent
their endeavors in an effort to show
that 25 cents was loo much of tin allow
ance. Tho court rules that If 25 cents was
a fair amount before It surely is now,
when all food supplies are unusually
high. The order, written for the court
by Judge Xewcomb, is as follows:
Thin 'n an application by the Miorifr undnr the
act of iicmtily of Aptil 11, lb,";, I'. 1,. :ill, Me
llon -1, for an order fixing the amount to bo al
lowed him for boaitling the prloii3is committed
-o his custody.
The act was pasted for all the counties of the
stale, excepting Alleidietiy nnd Philadelphia. It
has been tiipctacdod in several other counties by
later lesNIallon; but i.i In foice In this county,
Although e cannot find that any order agreeab.y
to Its piovlslons liai been made heretofore.
It wits concidcd at th; aigumcnt that the
amount heretofore paid to the several sheriffs of
this county h.is been fixed by the counly commissioner.-',
and that it has never been 1cm thin He
Him of twenty-live cenU per day for cadi
prKoner. 'Ihat is Iho maximum an.oant ulikli
the couit may allow under the statute itfcrrel I".
I'lidoubtcdly at the. time this act was passed,
the expetr-e of boardintr prisoner uas con-'id-erably
les than it is now. At that time the .sup
ply and cost of pro;ions were not controlled by
unnatural and artificial cuditions.
Ih'o application has been pending' slnre the he
(tinnine; of the year, ami in the meuitinio on
(idct.ihle testimony has been taken on th" part
of the sheriff, county cominissloneis and ion
(roller. The e.d.lence as to tlis coin il cost of
feeding the prisoners is oonfliilliiT. In view ef
the lluMiie that has hetcloforc been paid to the
din iff, as well as to his scleral prinlcve-Mirs In
