AGREEMENT
WAS REACHED
EDWARDB - LONGSTREET CASE
DID NOT 00 TO JURY.
During Yesterday's Session of Court
nn Amicable Arrangement Was
Arrived at Events That Led Up
to the Suit Wore Misunderstand
ings Caused by a Trouble Making
Neighbor Juror Stout Went to
His Home in Oould3boro Instead
of Into Jury Box.
Before nil of tho testimony for the
plaintiff was heard yesterday In the
trespass case of V. F. N. Kdwnrds
nfjalnsl Dr. H. V. LotiBHtreet un ami
cable pcttloinoul was reached by the
attorneys for tho parties and a verdict
for the defendant was returned by the
jury.
In connection with tho settlement
statements to the court were made by
Attorneys Warren and Torrey for the
plnlntlrc and Attorneys Scrngg and
O'Brien for tho defendant. All agreed
that tlio case was tho outgrowth of n.
misunderstanding among tho parties
duo to a trouble making neighbor. The
attorneys for the defendant said that
inasmuch ns practically all of tho
testimony for the plnlntlfC had been
heard it wus duo tho defendant that
his position In the events that led up
to the litigation should be made known.
The facts would have been developed
If the case had continued and the de
fense heard.
Dr. Longstreet they said had been
moved by only tho best feelings of
friendship and klndnes toward Mr.
and Mrs. Edwards. He felt interested
in them because Mr. Edwards had been
employed by the doctor's father when
tho doctor was a boy. The best evi
dence) of his friendship was shown by
the fact that from May 20, 1S90, when
tho doctor met Mr. Edwards, until 1S9D
when a deed of the farm was made
by Mr. and Mrs. Edwards to the doc
'lor he had advanced them S1.700 wlth
I out taking a scrap of writing of any
Kinci irom tnem.
Even after the doctor had been in-
lformed repeatedly that Mr. Edwards
had made threats against them he did
not desire to have him arrested and
only moved when he was told by his
attorney It was his duty to have Mr.
Edwards arrested. The defense would
show, tho attorneys said, that Jlr. and
Mrs. Edwards left the farm of their
own volition and that the rent of a
house they occupied at Moscow was
paid by Dr. Longstreet.
Judge Kelly in addressing the jury
said It was gratifying to him to see
an amicable agreement reached in
open court which permitted all of the
parlies to go forth without a stain on
their names. Tho terms of the agree
ment were not made rmblie.
The next ease called was. Mrs. Ida
Campbell against Jame's H. Hilton.
Mrs. Campbell seeks to recover $125
from Hilton which she says he owes
her for board. The defendant figures
out that he cannot possible owe her
more than $10.23 and that he ought to
be allowed more than that for damage
donoe to his trunk and effects while
in Mrs. Campbell's possession.
After the jury was sworn Robert T.
Koehler, the constable who served the
papers in the case was discovered In
the box and it was decided to dispense
with his services and proceed with
eleven jurors. The jury was sent out
adjourning hour and when it reached
the jury room discovered that Joseph
Stout, of Gouldsboro, another of the
jurors, was missing. Instead of going
10 ino jury room to deliberate he start
ed for homo. The jury of ten went to
work to agree upon a verdict which
will be reported to court this morn
ing. The ejectment case of Orlando
Itozelle against B. S. Lewis and others
was on all days In tho superior
court room before Judge Wheaton.
Suits Against Bondsmen.
Mark K. Edgar and G. F. Rey
nolds yesterday began feult against S.
N. Callendar and his bondsmen, J. E.
Callender and Nathan Callender. Both
of the plaintiffs had suits against S. X.
Callender which were entered April 22,
1901. In each case they received ver
dicts amounting to S61G.70.
Callender took an appeal to tho su
perior court giving a bond in the sum
of $1,300 lu each ease with J. E. and
Xathan Callender as sureties. On
March It of this year the supetlor
court sustained the verdict of the court
of this county and an execution was
issued directed against S. X. Callender.
The sherlif's ictiirn was that tlm
judgments could not be collected from
Callender for the raison that he had
nothing to levy on and suits have
therefore been Issued against his
bondsmen.

In Orphans' Court.
In tho orphans' court yesterday, tho
heat Ing In tho estato of Bridget Ryan,
deeenred, was continued, Testimony
was oftered to support the credits
ilauned by P. J, Koran, as trustee,
unit a very largo number of vouchers
were offered lor that purpose. Testi
mony was also taken to show that tho
o.iindltures made by him were proper
and legal. Tho exceptants contended
that he had no authority to make or
authorize to bo paid tho charges, and
that ho should bo burchurged, Special
objection Is made to tho allowance of
Oliicottut upon a note, which was dis
counted at n bank by tho trusteo and
accountant for the purpose of paying a
mortgage against the estate, It being
alleged that the icnts, If properly np
piaptlated, wero sutllclent to pay this
indebtedness. It was also alleged by
tho exceptants that many of the Items
of expenditure wore not lu connection
with the property devised to J. E. Ryan
and that they are not properly Included
lr this account. U was alsu claimed
that the oxeeutor has charged commis
sions for agents employed by him and
also for himself, and that such a
double charge Is not legally justifiable.

SURPLUS MAYBE $40,000
It Is Confidently Believed That City's
Receipts Will Exceed Expendit
ures by That Amount.
About the beginning of the present
fiscal year it was figured out by several
persons interested In municipal affairs
that there would be a surplus of be
tween $10,000 and $li".,000 at the end of
tho year that is that the receipts
would exceed the amount appropriated
by about that figure.
Cltv Controller Costello has been
doing a little figuring on this matter
recently and while ho has not been able
to ascertain tho exact figures, ho feels
confident tho surplus will be rearer
$10,000 than Sta.OOO.
The exact number of Ilriuor licenses
taken out by saloon keepers within the
city limits is not yet known to either
the controller or the ctiy treasurer but
it Is understood that the amount which
the city will realize from this source
will be nearly ?3d,000 more than former
Controller Howell estimated. It was
on his estimate of receipts that the
appropriation ordinance was based.
There will be a surplus from other
sources, it is believed, which will bring
the total up to $40,000 and perhaps
mot e.
Councilmen are aheady beginning to
hear about this surplus and from pres
ent indications it will not be very long
before ordinances providing for tho np
pioprlatlon of the entire amount will
llnd their way Into councils. A xovy
large percentage of the councilmen
haie pet schemes which they wish to
put through and for which provision
wns not made in the appropriation
ordinance.
AFTER THE SPEAKEASIES.
Joint Meeting of Lackawanna and
Luzerne Saloonmen.
A joint meeting of the retail liquor
associations of Laeknwnnim. and
Lueruc counties was held In tills city
and it was derided to unite for tho
pin pose of waging an aggressive war
upon the speakeasies in both counties,
A board of twenty-seven governoiH
was appointed whoso duty It shall bo
to ferret out and report to the execu
tive committee all per.-ons selling liquor
without n license. The exeeutlvo com
mittee will then bring notion against
tho licensed persons.
President Ditcher, of the Lackawanna
assoelatluu, who was largely Instru
mental In bringing about the Joint
meeting wus made president of tlio
joint organization.

NIGHT BALL GAME.
Immense Crowd Sees Scranton and
Lnncaster Play tho National
by Electric Light.
Up In the arctic regions, they tell us,
tho Klondlkors nro wont to play an oc
casional gtnno of base ball along to
ward 12 p. m., at certain seasons of
the year. Manager Al. Lawson, of the
Scranton team, with tho aid of his
portable electric light plant, proved to
3,000 Sctantonians last night that tho
nationnl can be played here nt any old
hour, without regard to tho bed-time
of Old Sol.
The big crowd which went to tho
park Inst night to see a ball game by
electric light, for the first time In
Scranton, entered the gates feeling very
dubious tibout tho quality of ball they
would see, or try to see. Once Inside
tho grounds though, their feelings
changed. Extra powerful arc lights,
on twenty-foot poles, at short Inter
vals, surrounding the playing space of
the field, made the diamond, not as
bright as inld-dny, to be sure, but
bright enough to make ball playing
possible.
Xot mote than half a dozen errors
wore made on both sides, and these
were due, It can be safely said, to the
ball, rather than any inability to see It.
The ball used is one of a size luilf
again as large as the ordinary ball,
and with a soft outer covering. On
hard hit or swiftly thrown balls It
proved dliueult to hold. It was several
lime sent to the fence for three bag
gers and homers, and throughout the
entire course of Its flight was visible
to the spectators, except when it rolled
In the grass beyond the lino of electric
lights, which, In the field, formed a
semi-circle about seventy-five feet back
of the bases-.
If it wasn't for the extreme chilli
ness of the evening, tho crowd would
have enjoyed the game much more. As
It was, there was no end of applaud
ing. It Is a real and very Intereallns
novelty.
Scranton won the game by a score
of eight to six. Kelleher, an amateur
pltehfr, was In the box for Scranton,
for live Innings, and showed up In
gol form. Ho fielded exceptionally
well.
Manager Lawson will send his base-ball-by-nlght
apparatus on the road.
It will be in Wllkes-Barre Friday
night.
USEFUL INFORMATION.
Merchants of This City Directly In
terested and Profited.
One of the most practical lessons
taught by tho gre.it Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers gnat consolidation
nt shows to every community visited
by them: Suppose they were to come
into this city and attempt to do busi
ness without advertising. How much
business would they do as compared
with what they will do when they come
after their heavy advertising'.' That is
a conundrum that may be answered as
well by tlie ignorant lu ordinary things
as well ns the wise in all things.
Xoiv the principle of advertising Is
alwnys the same. Tho circus people
have their exhibition to sell. They tell
what it is in tlio most attractive man
ner possible. They do not stint them
selves in tho matter of advertising,
Tlia result Is known to all. The same
proportionate measure of t-uecess would
attend tho same kind of advertising of
any kind of business.
It has been long since It was neces
sary to uso any argument with any sort
of a succtsiful merchant to induce him
to advertise. Tho only question now
Is how to advertise the best. How can
It be done? Let this be the answer,
tlo into any city or town and look up
the biggest business building and the
busiest merchants. It Is not necessary
for the inei chant to have his name on
the door for you to know, oven If you
are a stranger In tho city. Turn to the
local new,sp,ipeis and see who occupies
the most advertising .space lu them,
Then go bnck to tho biggest business
building and lend the sign and you will
seo tho sumo linn name. There aro
scarcely any exceptions to ptovo this
rule, It Is to general tluoughout the
country. This show will be exhibited
In this city next Tuesday.

The stir the New Jersey Central's re
cent announcement made in regard to
Its hourly trains between Xew York
and Philadelphia was far reaching.
Very few cities can boast of such a
train, schedule nnd tho beauty of It is,
that It's easily remembered a train
every hour on the even hour from 7 a.
in. to G p. in.
Tho locomotives, cars and Pullman
cars aro tho most modern, the roadbed
Is rock ballasted, and as only hard coal
Is used there is no smoko or cinders.
Every train runs direct to Reading
Terminal, Philadelphia, without chango
nnd many of thorn cover tho distance In
two hours. Tho Reading route by which
tho Philadelphia lino is often known, Is
not only a short way to Philadelphia,
but It is likewise the scenic route. This
service goes into effect on May IS, but
in no way does it impair tlio fast and
elegant servlco of tho Royal Blue line,
which will run Independently of the
Philadelphia line. ,
