Claimants 'Murphy and Evans Put on the Defensive by the Respond ents' Motion to Quash the Writs of Quo Warranto Attacks of tho One Side and Replies of the Other. Major Warren Contended That a Rule for a Writ and Not a Writ Should Have Been Granted. Arguments In the poor board cases, which were put over from last Monday, were heard yesterday morning by Judges Kdwnrds, Kelly and Newcomb. Nearly two hours were consumed by the hearing. The cases are practically the same, but differ somewhat In title. In the one case, It Is tho Commonwealth at the relation of John J. Murphy against V. J. Dlekert. Tho other Is the Common wealth at the relation of W. It. Lewis, district attorney, against W. A. Paine. The real complainant in tho latter case is James A. Evans. Mr. Murphy claims he was elected to fill a vacancy In tho South ward seat on the poor board, and Mr. Evans claims election to the Hyde Park bor ough seat. Mr. Murphy appeared for himself and had as associate counsel, James J. O'Mnlley. Mr. Evans was represent ed hy Charles E. Olver. Opposed to them were John F. Scragg, solicitor of the poor district; Major Everett War ren and Joseph O'Brien. The respondents were to have made answer, yestetday, but they elected to proceed on a motion to quash the writ of quo warranto secured by the re lators. Major Warren, who spoke for the respondents Ilrst attacked the Murphy writ on the ground that he could not be a relator. In ease of this kind, such duty, under tho law devolving exclu sively on the district attorney. In reply to this Mr. 6'Mnlley, con tendejiat it is clearly established by recejflPRcislons that In a cae where thcKle of an ofllce is at Issue a prl vs(Wparty having a claim on the office can act as relator for tho common wealth. It was next argued by Major War ren that court should not have granted the writ, but only a rule for a writ, so that the respondents might have an opportunity of being heard. It Is ad mitted that court has discretionary power, but the respondents should have had the opportunity, It was contended to argue on the propriety of granting the wilt. COURT KNOWS THE CASE. Mr. O'Malley's leply to this was that the court had such n thorough ac quaintance with the case, It was in a position to exercise the soundest dis cretion and needed no light on the subject from counsel. A point which Major Warren dwelt on at length was the fact that the claimants hud failed to make personal demand for the office on Messrs. Dlek ert and Paine, having contented them selves with making a demand of the board to be seated. 31 r. Murphy replied to this when he came to make his supplementary argu ment. He contended It was immaterial and unnecessary to make a personal demand of the respondents, be cause the claimants did not recognize Messrs. Dicker! and Paine as being in office. Speaking particularly of the Dickert case, Mr. Murphy stated that Mr. DIckerl's term of ofllce expired March IS, 1S9H, and he was neither ap pointed nor elected after that, Judge Newcomb at this juncture wanted to know what Dickert had to give that Murphy could demand, and Judge Kelly inquired In a significant way as to whom Major Warren repre sented. The contention that there is no poli tical machinery still existing whereby a. valid election can be held In the old South Ward and Hyde Park boroush was next raised. Major Warren pointed out that the ei cation of twenty-one wards, at the incorporation of the city of Scranton, destroyed the existence ot the old waids as far as the possibility of con ducting elections therein was concerned lly way of example he pointed out that the judge of election of a district ot the Fifth ward of Scranton, In a muni cipal election, could not bo considered an election officer of old Hyde Park borough. A SAVING CLAUSE. Mr. Murphy contended that there was a saving clause in the special act Incorporating the city 'of Scranton, which provided explicitly that the act should In no way Interfete with the existence of the Scranton poor district, Mdor Warren next argued that Mr. Dickert had a right to hold over until his successor was duly elected and qualified, Mr, Murpli) admitted that It was provided In the general law for elective otllecis that they should hold over until their successois woro duly elected and qualified, but in this case there was the distinction that Mr. Dickert was an appointed officer, appointed for a per iod of sixteen days. The poor district act, it was further contended specific ally provides that appointments shall bo simply "to fill an unexpired term." In the Evans case a specific reason advanced for the quashing of the writ was that the claimant udmlts he re ceived votes from the third district or the Sixth ward, which was until ro cently a part of Lackawanna town ship and never Included In old Hyde Park borough. Mr, Olver asserted this made no dif ference under the decisions. The court leserved its decision on the motion, ir the writs are quashed It will ho Incumbent on the claimants to pro ceed anew or give up tho light. It the writs are sustained the respondents will bo called upon to make answer to the relators' complaint? or suffer judg ment for the claimants.

Some Opposition to Dr. Norton. Editor of The Tribune Sir: As much as it is to be regretted, I am obliged to take i,ue wllli Dr. Xoiton, who ad vocated recently in this city the teneU of Clnh tian Science medicine us the bc-t remedy against all comei. The subject mailer ot medicine includes a wide range of scientific knowledge and pinttical skill. The doctor hates drugs a.s a gobbler does a led rag, but he forgets that the compound ac tion of drugs and herbs are tho subjects of phar macology and tcicology. Tiie circumstances un der which tho numerous articles of mateiia mod. ica become lemedial subject to therapeutics has about as much to do with applied religion as tho sci aping of older bark up or down when taken as a concoction produces a omit or a purge as the case might requiie. So much for the fiiot pioposition. Now btructure istonalated to function, whether active or dormant, and both aio indispensable to life and religion. There is no mistake about that! And in tho ultimate analysis as applied to the "LV of tho "Genesis" means nothing without a preponderant logical correlation of "Hell Scraper," the gicat panacea of the st"am doclois of sixty years ago. This settles another point. As to the "Infinite father. Mother shining with bououeil light": This theory of disease seems to rcit upon physiological dUtuibance of the pioto plasmio Inaln cells with mote or lc,s technical adjuncts, ingiossing' a difficult eltiiunt of pertur bation, delleion or shortcoming aided by viitue of .1 deiiation fiom a well balanced mind.

Pcnn avenue, Saturday, ftKrj ANXIETY HERE WAS INTENSE EVERY ONE ON THE QUI VIVE FOR NEWS FROM HAZLETON. Feeling That There Would Bo No Strike Veered Somewhat When It Was Learned That tho Lower Ro glons Aro Not Opposed to Strike as It Was Reportod They Weie Last Week Firemen, Engineers nnd Pump Runners Have to Bo Reck oned with. Scranton's ear was bent towards Hazloton all of yesterday and late into last night, Everyone looked for tho latest word from the town In which Is to bo decided tho question as to wheth er or not this community will be sub jected to Industrial paralysis of an In definite extent, or take its place with other communities In enjoying tho full ness or the present bountiful prosper ity. The smallest Item of news was seized upon with avidity and passed speedily from one to another until it had become general property. News paper offices were besieged for their latest dispatches and many an Inquir er not satisfied with what the wires brought wanted an opinion on what would come to-day. Seldom, if indeed ever, did tho city display such Intense anxiety over tho outcome of a conven tion. On the previous day tho feeling here was that there would be no strike. When however, authentic news was put forth yesterday morning, that the lower portions of the Anthracite region were not against a strike, as It was au thoritatively reported they were last week, the sentiment changed, and Scranton and her environs went to bed last night fearful that the morrow would bring forth a positive announce ment that the temporary suspension of woik was to bo prolonged into a strike. Tho best hope for an opposite result hinged on tho fact that a large portion of the delegates were instruct ed to follow John Mitchell's advice and that he would advise them against a strike, ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN. One thing which it is thought, will have an influence in converting many of the more thoughtful of the pro-strike element, is the reported ultimatum of tho stationary engineers and firemen that 'if they go out with the miners, the latter must not settle the strike until the companies grant the engineers and firemen an eight hour day for which they recently made a strike which was unsuccessful because the miners would not support them. One of the most telling blows which the miners expect to deliver at the companies in case of a strike is the calling out of the engineers, firemen and pump runners, thereby causing great damage to the mines by flooding and gas accumulations. If tho men do not quit In a body at the call of the miners the blow will bo Ineffective, for the reason that if only a small pro portion of them respond to the call their places can be readily filled by imported men, who it is said have been already secured for such an emergency. To add the demand of the engineers and firemen to the numerous demands of their own would, it is believed by the miners, make the securing of their own demands all the more difficult if not positively impossible. Its a case of being between the devil and the deep sen. As far as Scranton was concerned there were no changes of moment In the strike situation. The most im portant local announcement of the day was that the delegation which left here for the Hazleton convention, yes terday morning, had been officially can vassed and that the division on the question was in the proportion of three for strike and five against.
