Since the advent or C. V. Huntlw?
ton as general superintendent of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey,- the
following officials have boon placed In
charge of the respective departments:
M. M. Itichey, superintendent of New
Jersey Central and Lehigh and Susque
hanna division; A. U. Edgar, train
master Central division: C. H. Eng
lish, assistant passenger trainmaster
Central division: G. W, French, chief
clerk to trainmaster.
An Ottawa dispatch says that the
Canadian railway committee has re
fused the application of the Yukon
Pacific railway for permission to build
from Pyramid Harbor to White Horse
Pass. The minister of railways and
canals, Jlr. Blair, announced that the
government would adhere to the policy
of declining to grant charters to rail
ways with terminal In American terri
tory. The company's charter was
amended, giving power to build from
White Hoi so in a southwesterly direc
tion to the boundary line between the
provinces of British Columbia, and the
territories, or about twenty miles from
the international boundary line.
The New England Brifjuotte Coal
company has been organized to oper
ate 430 acres of coal land in Rhode
Tsland. The object of the company is
to mine the coal and make it into
briquettes and market It for domestic
purposes. Statements made in connec
tion with this fuel are to the effect that
It Is more efllclent than any other fuel.
The company claims to have a plant
now under construction that will turn
out 1,000 tons a day. People In the,
trade, however, who are. familiar with
these coal deposits, are inclined to be
more or less skeptical as to this coal
ever becoming a factor in the markut,
not only on account of its inferior qual
ity and cost of production, but that the
deposits are uncertain and occur in
Dockets.

REFUSED TO
QUASH WRITS
ORDER OP COURT IN THE POOR
BOARD OASES.
Messrs, Murphy and Evans Win
First Skirmish in Latest Battle
for Recognition of Elected Poor
Directors Bank Got Two Deposi
tors of Same Name Confused Mrs.
Price Secures Hotel License Grant
ed Her Husband Who Was Driven
Insane by Peckvllle Fire.
In the llrst skirmish of the latest
fight for the South ward and Hvde
Park borough seats on the poor board,
the elective claimants, Attorney John
J. Murphy and James A. Evans were
yesterday declared the winners.
On Wednesday, a hearing was heard
on motions by the respondents, the
present incumbents, F. J. Dlckert and
Dr. W. A. X'alne, to quash the writs of
quo warranto, which direct the re
spondents to show cause why they pre
sume to art as poor directors. A ruft
of reasons were filed to support the
motions to quash, but nfter one day of
deliberation court dismisses the motion
and directs the respondents to make
answer or demur to the relators' bill
within ten davs.
The order of court In each case is In
Judge Edwards handwriting, and both
are substantially the same. The order
in the Murphy case reads as follows:
Commonwealth of I'cnnajhaiila, ci re. Jolul J.
Murphy against P. ?. Dlckert.
Motion to quash writ of ipio warranto.
Wo aic of the opinion that the proceedings in
this case are regular as to matter of form and
of substance, and should not be nna'hed. The
case ought to be decided on its merits. The mo
tion to ijuaah the writ is refused and tbe respond
ent is directed to answer or demur within ten
dajs from this date. Hy tbc Oourt.
May 1), 1W.
At the next argument the merits of
the case will be taken up and then will
begin the actual adjudication of this
long standing dispute.
Cases in Common Pleas.
A confusion of persons with similar
names was the cause of a rather un
usual suit in Judge Kelly's court, yes
terday. The First National bank of Scranton
was plaintiff and Patrick Cannon, of
Carbondale, defendant. The defendant
had an account nt the bonk, dating
from 1896. Another of the bank's de
positors was "Patrick Cannon or wife,"
of West Scranton. The Carbondale
Cannon drew two checks one of Oct.
20, 1S9G and the other of Jan, L, 189",
each tor MO. By mistake they were
charged against the West Scranton
Cannon. When It came to making up
the books of the West Scranton Can
non, the error was discovered. In the
interim the Carbondale Cannon had
withdrawn his deposit and transferred
it to Merchants and Mechanics bank.
When the First National sought to
have him return the $60 he refused.
The defense yesterday could offer no
evidence that would be admitted by
the court and the jury was practically
Instructed to find for the plaintiff. It
returned a verdict of ?60 without in
terest. Welles & Torrey appeared for
the plaintiff and Willard, Warren &
Knapp for the defendant.
A verdict for the defendant was re
turned in the case of the Pennsyl
vania Savings Fund and Loan asso
ciation against John C. Doud. The
defendant borrowed $2,400 from tho
plaintiff and defaulting in his interest
payments, it was arranged that he
should have n new loan on easier
teims. The company entered judgment
on the bond tor the first loan and
Doud sought to have It opened, alleg
ing that the first bond wtts satisfied
when the second loan was negotiated.
At adjoulnlng time. Judge Kelly was
hearing the ease of Surah E. Snyder
against John Davis and A. B. Wede
maii. The parties live in Greenfield.
The suit is the result of a dispute over
the amount of lumber the defendants
took from ithe plaintiffs land. The
amount involved i's about $28. The
parties with twelve witnesses from
Greenfield have been in court all week,
C. H. Gardner represents the plaintiff,
and George D. Taylor .the defendants.
Judgment was entered for the plain
tin: In the sum of $232.16 in the case
of the Hunt & Connell company against
John J. Collin. The suit was based
on two notes, one for $93 and the other
for $121.23. No defense was offered.
Welles & Torrey represented the plain
tiffs. Because of the plaintiff's failure to
appear a non-suit was gi anted in tho
ease of Hannah J. Lewis against Wil
liam Von Gorder. C. W. Dawson repre
sented the defendant.
In the ease of Ida Campbell against
James H. Hilton tho jury came in yes
terday morning with a verdict for the
plaintiff In tho sum of $73.93.
Judge AVheaton was engaged all of
yesterday In the trial of the case of
O. B. Partridge, assignee of the Im
pel lal Paint, Stain and Filler company
against Geoige H. Morris, trading as
the Mori Is Decorating company.
It is a suit for $S00 worth of material
and a cash Item of $773, The defend
ant admitted securing the material and
a cluck for $73. He maintained, how
ever, that the material was of such
poor quality that where he used It
lie was compelled to do the wotk over
with other nuteilal, Among the places
where the alleged defective varnish and
the like was used were the Lyceum
theater, the Coyne hoitbe, the Lacka
wanna Valley house, the First Ptesby
terian church In Carbondale and the
Heudrlck's lesldencts in Carbondale.
The plaintiff averred that the fault
was not In the company that the
material did not give satisfaction, but
rather In Morris' attempting to use n
cheap quality of material where ho
should have used the best.
The defendant contended that the
manager of tho company Mr. Upton
guaranteed tho material to do the work
for which It was purchased.
In reply to this the plaintiff averred
that If tho manager gave any such
gtmranteo ho did so without authority,
The case was on ut adjourning time,
Cornelius Comegy represents the plufu
tlff, John F. Sciagg and William N.
Leach appearetl for tho defense,
Released and Re-arrested.
II. II. Perry, the man who Is wanted
In Owego, N. y for larceny, and who
has been In jail hero awnltlng requisi
tion sinco April 23 was released, yester
day, by Judge Neweomb on a writ of

tho order of Dlstiipt Attorney Lewis,
the sheriff re-ai rested him, to hold
him as a fugltlvo from justice u a

Echo of the Peckvllle Fire.
When the fire fiend swept over Fcck
vllle, the night of March 27, last, one
of the buildings completely destroyed
with nil Its contents was Hotel Har
rison, kept by George A. Price. Ho

dnys before.
Tho loss drove him mad and a week
nfter, the fire ho was taken to the Hill
side home,
His wife, Margaret Price enme Into

Murray, und asked that the license paid

owned by Mrs, Ellen Harris In the
Third ward of Blakely.
Two Judges in Orphans' Court.
In the orphans' court, Judge A. A.
Vosburg henrd the audit in the estate
of Earn Stevens, deceased. Testimony
was taken for the purpose of distribut
ing the fund in the hands of the ac
countant, Frank R. Stevens. B. F.
Tlnkham nppeored for the executor.
It appears by the evidence, that the
widow elected to take against, the will,
and also that one of the heirs, George
Stevens left his domicile In this county
for the west, some ten years ago, and
has not been heard from In several
years. An alternative distribution of
his share was asked for, to provide
both for his death and possible re-appearance.
In the estate of Mark F. Hart, de
ceased, the audit of the accountant of
Thomas H. Hart, as administrator was
also heard, H. D. Carey appearing for
the administrator. This is also a dis
tribution audit, no exceptions having
been filed to tho account. This account
includes about $1700 of assets which
came Into the hands of the decedant,
as guardian of Maud Dowden, and is
claimed by her present guardian,
Thomas M. Halt.
The audit in tho estate" of John B.
Smith, deceased was also heard.
In the estate of Margaret Coblelgh.
Attorney M. J. Martin and J. E. Wat
kins, on behalf of certain heirs, who
are now in possession of tho property,
which they claim to have purchased
at an orphans' court sale, applied for
an order to restrain the executor from
distraining for rent, pending an appeal
to the superior court. Tho counsel
finally agreed, H. M. Hannah repres
enting the respondent, that pending
this apeal, the rent should be paid Into
the hands of two parties, one repres
enting each of the parties In interest,
and that the money should be deposit
ed in the Title Guarantee & Trust com
pany's bank.
Judge W. F. Solly, of Norrlstown,
heard evidence upon the exceptions
filed to the inventory and widow's ap
praisement, in the estate of Matthey
Connolly, deceased, which Judge Vos
burg could 'not hear, because Ih was
counsel for one of the parties before
his appointment. G. D. Taylor repre
sented the estate, and Charles W. Daw
son, 'the exceptions. Considerable tes
timony was taken with respect to
whether or not certain articles of per
sonal property had been improperly
omitted from the inventory and ap
praisement as filed.
Attorney L. P. Wedeman, W H. Roe
and J. Elliott Ross, also argued the
exceptions to the report of the auditor
in the estate of Matilda Swingle, de
ceased. Deeds Acknowledged,

THE TAX LEVY
TO BE HIGHER
ANALYSIS OF THE SCHOOL
BOARD ESTIMATES.
Each Committee Wants More Money
Than Was Appropriated for the
Present Year, and Nearly All In
creases Are Urged to Be Neces
saryOutline of President Gib
bons' Plan for a Readjustment and
Increase of the Teachers' Salaries.
Would Mean Increnso of 853,800.
That the school tax levy for the com
ing year will be considerably higher
than last year was evidenced hist
night when the finance committee of
the board of control met tn consider
the estimates submitted by the several
committees.
These estimates, in each Instance,
provide for an Increase over tho ap
propriation for the present fiscal year.
In some instances, the Increase was
Blight and In other instances large,
but the members of the finance com
mltee seem Inclined to the belief that
nearly all the 'increased amounts are
necessary. Estimates were received
from all the committees, with tho ex
ception of tho teachers' committee,
which meets tonight to consider the
question of Increasing the teachers'
salaries.
As It was Impossible, for the finance
committee to act Intelligently last
night, because of this fact, the mem
bers contented themselves with dis
cussing the estimates in an informal
manner. President Gibbons had pre
pared a plan for a general readjust
ment and increase of the teachers' sal
aries, which ho submitted for the con
sideration of the committee, and which
seemed to meet with general approval.
PLAN OF READJUSTMENT.
The readjustment which he proposes
would affect all grades of the teachers
except the principals. The graduates
of the training: school now receive $40
n month on starting in to teach, while
the Normal school teachers receive $35
for the first month. These salaries are
Increased at four year intervals until
the teachers finally receive $55 at the
end of twelve years' service.
Mr. Gibbons proposes a new system,
whereby the training school graduates
would be started In at $43 per month
and the Normal graduates at $40 per
month, and whereby their salaries
would be Increased to $60 per month
at the end of six years. He then pro
poses a Hat Increase of ten per cent, for
all teachers, including principals, after
this readjustment is made.
If this was put into effect this com
ing year, It would mean a total increase
of $53,800 In the teachers' appropria
tion. The appropriation for teachers'
salaries for the present fiscal year was
$164,200. President Gibbons' plan pro
vides for a total appropriation of $218,
000. He proposes to make a fight for
Its ndoptlon, and there Is very good
reason to believe that he will carry
his point.
Accepting his estimate of $218,000 for
teachers' salaries, the total list of es
timates considered last night arc shown
in tho following table in which the ap
propriations for the present fiscal year
is compared with them:

THE TAX LEVY.
It is believed that the tax levy will
be about live mills on a full valuation,
which would be comparatively the
same as a levy of fourteen mills and
a fraction on a one-third valuation.
The levy for the present fiscal year was
thirteen mills, while the levy for last
year was fourteen mills.
Provision for the new buildings
which it is proposed to erect must be
made In a bond issue us to Include pro
vision for the whole or part of the cost
of their erection In the budget would
nee-essltate tho Increasing of the tux
levy to too high n figure.
