1 . "i. A, v: 5 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THUBSDAV, AUGUST 14, 1902. i MUST GIVE UP THE DOCKET OPINION IN THE EX-ALDERMAN KELLY CASE. Judge Edwards Discusses the Rea sons Why the Former Alderman of the Eighteenth Ward Should Hand Over the Books Ho Used In Recording the Business of His Office to His Successor Mandamus Asked for by Alderman James r. Noone Granted. The following opinion was handed (own Monday by Judge Kd wards In the matter of Commonwealth nt Pennsyl vania, ex. rol. James V. Noone, alder man of the niRhtecnth ward, against John P. Kelly, former alderman of the ward: The relator In this cases (lied his peti tion praying for a writ of alternative mandamus to compel the respondent to deliver to lilm, the relator, the dockets mid papers pertaining to the office of al derman of the Klghtcenth ward of the city of Seranton, or to sdmw enuc why he should not do so. The respondent was the Immediate predecessor of the re lator In sold office. The respondent an swers In substance that he Is willing to hand to his successor the "civil docket," so-called, and nil papers pertaining to .rlvll cases, and that, In fact he has of fered the docket ami papers to the rela tor, who has refused them; hut. that ho. the respondent. Is not hound to deliver over the papers, docket, or records per taining to criminal cases. There are no questions of fact In dispute. We shall treat the answer of the defendant as a return to the ninndiimtK We cannot find among the flics a demurrer to the return. The case was argued as If n demurrer had been filed. Let the relator file a for mal demurrer so that there may be a proper Issue before us. The act of March 20. 1M0, section tour, 01 Sm. llll), provides that all proceedings in civil causes "had before the Justice, shall be entered at large by him, In a docket or book to be kept by him for that purpose." When the term of h jus tice or alderman has expired, the act of Juno 21, isn:i, section ten, provide that he shall "deliver over his docket and like papers to the person who shall be elected to succeed him in said ward, borough or township." Thu argument made by re spondent's counsel Is to the elfcet that an alderman Is not bound to deliver over to Ills successor in ofllce any docket other than the one the law directs him to keep, viz.: a docket containing the record of civil caues, and all papers pertaining to these causes, and this the respondent Is willing and has offered to do. KIND OF DOCKKT. If, says the counsel, the act of 1S10 de scribes the kind of a docket whiuh an alderman must keep, and the act of 181!) directs him to deliver this docket to his successor, lie should not be compelled to hand over any thing else without express legislative authority. And counsel goes further and contends tnat If by any legis lation subsequent to IS"!) an alderman is required to keep other records than those prescribed by the act of 1810, the manda tory provision of the act of S:w could not lie applied to the additional records. AVo think the argument Is more specious than correct. We shall proceed to state some of the reasons which induce us to adopt n different view. 1. The records of proceedings In the of fice of a justice of the peace, or of an alderman, are of n judicial and public nature. The office Is not only of ancient and honorable origin, but it is provided for by our constitution. It Is an Import ant part of tho Judicial systeni of the commonwealth. The otllola! records of tho ofllce cannot be considered as the per sonal property or perqui-ites of the oc cupant. When tho alderman goes out of ofllce, his records, on account of their public and judicial character, should be delivered to his successor. This view of the matter U not conclusive as to the contention In this case, hut we give It as one of the reasons for the belief that the act of l.!!i. providing for the trans fer of the docket and like paper-, in Its spirit and legislative scope, is broad enough to Include the records relating to criminal cases. 2. This construction of tho net of 1S-J0 Is In harmony with the reason of the law, because It meets tho demands of con venience and necessity. That the records of criminal cases kept by an alderman wlio'p term of ofllce has expired are often needed subsequently, either as evidence In other cases or as the basis of other or further proceedings, Is evident. Theso records may he needed in habeas corpus cases; or, In suits on forfeited recog nizances; or in tho determination of pleas of former acquittal or conviction in cases where It might lie claimed the of fenses were the subjects of final proceed ings before the alderman under the net of .May 1, 18(11, (!'. I,. H!2); or In prosecu tions for perjury, or In many other ways that do not occur to us now. So that on the ground of convenience and necessity, the records should be in the custody of the alderman then In oillee. A retiring alderman may die, or he may move from tho slate and lake ids paper with him beyond the reach of proec-s, or the rec ords may be scattered and lost: but theso Inconveniences may be avoided by the transfer of all olllclal records and papers to the successor In I he ofllce, Ml'ST KUKP DOCKKT. ". Kill it is not necessary to rely on tho general principles slated. A close exam ination of the acts of assembly already referred to convinces us that llio whole matter Is sufllclently within the grasp of tho letter of tho law, As already stated, tho act of JS10 provides that tho, justice shall keep a docket In which hliall bo en tered tho proceedings In civil cases. As far as wo can llnd, this wa the only docket tho Justice wns or Is required to keep. In cononctlon with criminal busi ness, tho next reference wo llnd to a docket Is In the act of May, ISiil, (l, 1,. tB2) relating to criminal jurisdiction In certnln counties, extended to Luzerne county In 1S00, and therefore In force In I.ackawnnna county. Section thrco of this act provides that If n defendant shall demand a jury trial, tho justleo shall make an entry to that effect upon "his docket," A similar re 'feronco to "his docket" h found In tho Bupplomentnry act of 1802 (P, 1. 273. Tho general law of Juno 11, 1SS5, (i, h. uoi, provides that "it shall bo the duty of all alderman, Justices of the peace and com Are You Going to the Seaside Or to the Country ?

Tho Justleo or alderman enn hnvo but ono docket, There Is no such thing as tho so'cnlied "criminal docket" In contradis tinction to a "civil docket." Tho law (1810) provides that tho Justice shall keep a docket "his docket." Ho Is not re quired to keep any other docket. As a matter of convenience he might keep tho criminal cases In one' book and the civil cases In another book. Or ho might keep landlord and tenant cases In ono book, ciirci In trespass In another, coses In as sumpsit In a third, misdemeanors In a fourth and felonies In a llfth. ML'ST DKMVKlt T11UM. It matters not how many books he uses. Together they constitute the docket which the law requires him to keep, and which he must turn over to his successor. Jf our vlcwi are correct, It follows that the contention of tho relator must pre vail and that the respondent must, In tho language of tho act of 1830, "deliver over his docket and like papers" to his suc cessor In ofllce. Wo therefore sustain the demurrer and give Judgment thereon In favor of tho re lator, with costs, and we direct a per emptory writ of mandamus to Issue, di recting tho respondent to deliver over to the relator the docket, books and papers containing tho record of the official ac tion of Bald respondent as alderman of tho Klghtcenth ward of the city of .Seranton, relating to all cases brought or heard before him during his term of of llce. ns well as to deliver over to the relator all such dockets, books and papers received by respondent from bis predecessor In said ofllce. AMONG CLUB BOWLERS. Interest Taken in Formation of All Club League Country Club May Be Represented. The Interest already manifested by the city league bowlers In work for tho coming season has caused a like revival of attention to matters In the rolling world, by leaders in the nil-club league movement. It Is likely that tho league-this year will Include all of the old stand-bys, the Seranton Bicycle club, West End Wheelmen, of Wllkes-Uarrc, and tho Green JMdge Wheelmen. The Infants of last year's league, the Electric City Wheelmen, .will also be in the circuit, and it Is more than likely that tho Country club will bo represented. Three new alleys were recently laid at the club house, and a great deal of Interest is taken in the sport among th members. A flrst-elass team could bo turned out, as there arc several fast bowlers, who arc now getting tho gunge of tho alleys. The Bicycle club will probably have two teams again this year. An ef fort is being made by the members to reorganize the famous Black Dia monds, which Frank Leonard used to lead to victory and champagne sup pers. Frank Beavers, F. S. Foley and Smith Gorman are the leading spirits in the reorganization, and there is lit tle doubt that tho Diamonds will have a team this year, which could, in an emergency, give tjie first live a close run for the honors. The latter will be again captained by Dr. Wardell, the seasoned leader of so many victorious Bicycle club teams. George Mitchell is sure of a place on It, and so is Charles Moore, If the latter rolls in this league, instead of with the city bowlers. There are many fast bowlers trying to qualify for the other places on tho team. COMPLICATED PATENT CASE. Being Heard Before Judge Archbald in United States Court. There wns n reurgument In the case of Ilanlfen against Armltage, before Judge n. W. Archbald, of the district Federal court, yesterday morning. Both parties In the ease are Phlladelphiaus, and tho matter would ordinarily be taken care of by Judge McPherson. As has been before Stated In The Tribune, Judge McPherson is now on his vacation and Judge Archbald is looking after the Philadelphia court business. The Hanlfen-Armitage mat ter relates to the production of knitted nstraghaii cloth. Hani fen claims that Armltage has infringed upon his pat ent, In the manufacture of this cloth, and it Is Armltngc's contention that tho patent Is not valid, ns preceding patents hail anticipated its provisions. The case has already been repeatedly tried In Pennsylvania and New York courts, and yesterday's proceedings were merely a resume of the results and evidence heard In the other trials. It was originally tried before Judge Dallas, who decided In favor of the patent, and then on a rehearing de cided against It. An appeal was taken, and the judgment of the lower court reversed und Hnnlfen sustained In his claims, This latter decision wns made by Juilgo Shlras, of the United States Supreme court, and Judge Acheson, of the United States Circuit court. Judge Butler, the third member of the court, dissented from the opinion of his two colleagues. Anosher case, dealing with the same patent, arose In New York state, and In this Instance Judge Towns end upheld the patent, and an appeal being made to tho court of appeals of tho second circuit, his decision was re versed. The Supreme court allowed an appeal and recently disposed of tho case, four Judges placing themselves on record In favor of nfllrmlng tho decis ion and four in favor of reversing. Judge Archbald now has two cases to consult, in dealing with tho case, one In favor of tho patent and one against it. Attorney W. P. Preble, Jr., of New York, nppeared for the plaintiff at yes terday morning's hearing, nnd Augus tus B, Haughton, ut Philadelphia, rep resented the defendant. The cuso wus argued at length, DENOUNCED THE RE1LLY SERMON Concluded from 1'jrc 3.) the Heading Biter." Songs were also rendered by Professor Thomas Jtogers. WOllDS WE11K APPItOVED. President Nlcholls' references to an tagonistic "papers, ministers and priests" were received with unmistak able approbation. When ho referred to Father Ilclliy us ono who had dollied the temple of God1 and who would bo cursed 'for It, a voice from the crowd declared "Ho ought to be," and n man In front wns heard to say "He ought to ho kicked along with It." In connection with his references to the antagonistic press and pulpit, Mr. Nlcholls said: "It Is not u novelty to seo ministers and priests opposed to the people. The clergy In England's old days' lined up with the royalists when the. people re volted against unjust taxation. "I am not opposed,' he went on to say, "to any church of any denomina tion. 1 do not want my remarks to be construed as un nltack on the clergy. The majority of the ministers and priests are with us, thank God. I be lieve In a God above us and that he Is looking down on this struggle, and I trust and pray he wll give victory to tho side to which It belongs. Be law abiding and win His compassion." SACRIFICES NECESSAltY. The necessity to make sacrifices to achieve victory was dwelt upon at length by President Nlcholls. Compar ing the miners' struggle to that of the patriots of '70, Mr. Nlcholls declared that the present conflict had us much at stake as had tho revolution and that If the miners mado only a small part of the sacrifices made by tho soldiers of Washington, victory was assured. Quoting from an Interview In yester day's Tribune with Vice President Loomls, of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western company, in which he said that the termination of the strike de pended on how much more sacrifices tho miners were willing to make for tho agitators, Mr. Nlcholls said: "There are no sacrifices being made for the' agitators as, I suppose Mr. Loomls wus pleased to term me and your other officers. If the strike was not ordered President Mitchell and the rest of the mine workers' officials would bel having a. much easier time than we arp having now. If the miners win it is the miners who will reap the most benefits;. The officials will not be Im mediately affected. If the miners win they will get eight hours as a work day, where they work by the day, or In the case of contract miners, twenty per. cent, advance in wages which will permit them to earn in eight hours what they had to work ton hours for. It is well worth sacrificing your wages for the balance of this year to get your hours of labor reduced one-fifth, and I don't think the operators can stand out against you that long. MEANS VICTORY. "A little sacrifice nnd victory is yours. No great reform was ever accomplished without sacrifices. It is sacrllies that has brought freedom to this country. Be patriotic, be willing to sacrifice. Be imbued with the same spirit with which you would oppose a foreign foe. Make the other fellow feel, as Kruger said, that he will pay a price that will stag ger mankind. "This tight must not be lost. Too much depends on it. Nothing less than a satisfactory adjustment of our griev ances should suffice to end the struggle. The operators may have great power and millions of money, wo have a power that is more than a match for theirs. We have the power to refrain from working for them and we can so exercise that power that their mil lions will be made to crumble Into nothing. "We do not need lawlessness to win this fight. There are some laws we do not agree with, but .we must obey them. The best way to repeal an obnoxious law is to enforce It. The time should come when the laboring people would have n separate political organization with which to sweep the board of laws enacted for their oppressors. Leave that, however, for the future. At pres ent we should concern ourselves wholly with the winning of this strike. OTHER STRIKES. ' "Miners here fought for six months once without financial assistance from tho outside. With u couple of hundred thousand bituminous brethren con tributing a dollar a week each to our support and other labor unions of all kinds making liberal donations to our cause, we should at least do as well as did the miners who engaged in that memorable struggle. With a little sac rifice you will win. Sacrifice for your own benefit." , E:-Organlzer Fred Dllcher also dwelt at soino length on tho necessity of making sacrifices to achieve success, and also particularly cautioned tho strikers ngalnst emissaries of the oper ators who tried to stir up dissension among them. After characterizing, without direct designation, the Father Rellly sermon as unwarranted and a tissue of false hoods, Mr. Dllcher told that a priest In Spring Valley, President Mitchell's home, hud written a letter to Father Rellly, declaring Mr, Mitchell to be ono of tho best citizens of that place, nnd wholly undeserving of the criticisms applied to him In the sermon In nues tlon, Mr. Dllcher advised the strikers to refrain from violence out of respect for the laws and also out of regard for their own immediate welfare, Tho op erators, ho said, want disorder so that they may bring on tho militia and savo themselves tho present big expenses for coal and iron police, DKMPSEY'S REMARKS. Secretary-Treasurer John T. Denip sey made a lengthy argument in sup port of tho contention that the miners must win, no matter what the cost. "Return to the mines defeated," he said, "and you will receive tho lush us did your predecessors of years ago, who, as old miners will tell you, woro knocked down for simply making a complaint to some foreman. ''Ours Is n Just and holy cause," ho declared, "and wo should be possessed of manhood enough to fight for It even to death. Wo cannot lose if we but stand together, We won the 1800 strike when there were only S.OOO men In the organization In the whole anthracite region. Today wo have every mine worker In the region In the organiza tion, and the same leader that we hud In 1900. If we could win then, we eer tulnly ought to be uble to win now." Referring to tho fact that Sheriff Schadt was present in the crowd, Mr, Dempsey said; , "The sheriff, I see, is heros Wo are glad he Is here. I wunt him ty realize that we arc orderly nnd law-abiding, nnd thnt, If necessary, we stand ready to help him enforce the law. And why shouldn't wo7 We are all American citizens, or desirous of American citi zenship, nnd love tho old Jlug ns much as any coal and Iron policeman, to say tho lensti" District Vice-President Adam llya cavago spoke In the same ntraln ns the others, delivering his remarks In Pol Ish. Ho dwelt particularly on the Im portance of the struggle, what victory and defeat each meant, and tho neces sity of making sacrifices to achieve vic tory. Tho present struggle, ho de clared, was not oven second In Import ance to the American revolution In the uplifting of humanity, HASN'T ASKED FOR TROOPS. A vaguely-worded, hazy sort of n dis patch sent out yesterday by one of the "pony" press associations serving the afternoon papers hereabouts to I'd that two companies of the mllltla stationed at Shenandoah were to bo despatched, respectively, to Dttryea and Throop, on requisition of Sheriffs Jacobs and Schadt. Sheriff Schadt says that as far as ho Is concerned the story Is a pure, unadulterated fake. He has made no requisition for troops anil has had ab solutely no communication whatever with Horrlsburg regarding troops since the strike began. A business man In this city, who Is a close personal friend of National Presi dent Mitchell, of tho Mine Workers, was accosted In his store yesterday by a veiled woman, dressed In black, with a request that he warn Mr. Mitchell against- attending the Dickson City mass meeting. "Why, what's the matter?" the wo man was asked. "I see by the papers that you are a friend of Mr. Mitchell. I know that there Is a plot afoot to assasslnnto him, and that the deed is to be done today when he goes to that meeting In Dickson City. I want you to stoii him from going there." "He Isn't going. He is unable to at tend," the business man suggested. "Thank God," said the woman, and with that she disappeared. Whether she was talking knowingly, or Is Just crazy, Is a question. The chances are that she is one of those persons who think things. OPERATIONS POSTPONED. Once more the resumption of opera tions at tho Warlike wushery, in Dur yea, Is postponed. It was the inten tion to start up yesterday morning, but the stockade was not completed nnd the washery workmen, In consequence, were not taken to the plant. The strikers, however, were on hand and made their presence known. Not find ing any colliers to molest, they at tacked the carpenters engaged on the stockade and, driving them to cover, proceeded to tear down the stockade. Mr. Warlike had telephoned for Sheriff Jacobs at tho first signs of trouble, and as the work of destroying the fence was under way, Deputy Sheriff Rodda and a posse of five ap peared on the scene. The mob was dis persed without any difficulty and work on the stockade was resumed. Throop was quiet yesterday and last night. CONDITION OF TRADE. The Engineering and Mining Journal says of the anthracite coal trade: Supplies of anthracite all over tho coun try are getting low, and tho public is anxious to see mining resumed. Much of the alarm shown by uniformed writers in tile daily press la, however, ground less. It can bo asserted on tho best au thority that tho companies as they re sume mining will charge tho regular win ter rates for coal after Sept. 3, as per schedule, und If retail prices are higher than last winter it will not bo because of higher wholesale prices. There is no need of consumers in the east getting excited yet. In past years October has come without winter buying being strong. In the west the situation Is different. Ono or two roads will doubtless make special efforts to get coal up the lakes, since they get good returns on the traffic, but there is bound to be a marked shortage of an thracite at the docks at upper lake points when navigation closes. At Duluth somo docks are bare of an thracite, und others have but very little. No coal is for sale except for consump tion nearby, and rnll orders are rejected. At Mississippi and Missouri river points dealers are trying to get Colorado anthra cite, tho price of which has been ad vanced 7.1c. per ton by tho principal pro ducers, it is said that orders from points east of the Mississippi have been re ceived for Colorado anthracite, but that producers have made no attempts to fill these orders, fearing interference by the miners' union. Arkansas semi-unthracltp will be in demand. At Kansas City domestic sizes of Penn sylvania anthracite nro retailing at $!.K0a $10 per ton. In Chicago territory supplies are getting low, whlla tho demand Is in creasing, and tho trade Is preparing 10 depend hugely on all-rail shipments for tho winter's needs. Somo wholesalers havo closed their yards, others occasion ally sell a little. Prices wero advanced Aug, 1, 10 cents per ton, making the price for domestic sizes $7.I. dellvored. An ex tra advance before long Is expected by some. The amount of anthracite received at Mllwaukeo during thu past two months Is not over U.O0O tons, and a rlso in prices Is possible. Along tho lower lakes nnd in Canada territory, trade Is light, as sales are restricted. Importations of Welsh anthracite nro talked of nt Montreal. PRICES ADVANCED. At Toronto dealers havo advanced the price of domestic sizes 30 cents to $7 pur ton. In the all-rail trade and along the Atlantic seaboard there uro wide varia tions In the amount of coal in stock nt different cities and the distribution of sizes. In general thu territory near Now York city has'heen pretty well stripped of broken size, and egg Is scarce, wli'lo Btovo and chestnut are In better supply; at points east of New York there uro more of tho larger sizes, while chestnut Is scarce, Itetnil dealers are advancing prices ns supplies grow low, and an un easiness over winter supplies is growing. Tho following retail prices nro noted: Albany, $ii; Amsterdam, N. Y $7; 1'tlci, Jil.W); Poughkeepsle,.$0; Plttslleld, Mass,, J7.5D; Springfield, JSnS.GO; Worcester, JS..10; llolyoke, $9; Northampton.

There wns no Im provement In tho activity of tho trading In tho stock market today, but tho tono wns firmer and did not relied tho disposi tion to liquidate on all advances. which was a feature of yesterday's market. For tho most part, however, tho stocks were neglected and sluggish. The Clotilil stocks wero the most conspicuous In tho trad ing, Missouri Pacific lending 4n point of activity. There were, heavy dealings also In all of tho Wabash securities. Tho Southwestern railroads uro expected to gain it special benefit from tho largo corn crop and tho winter wheat crop In that territory Is also In a high averago con dition. Tho Wabash stocks wero espe cially affected by reports of aggresslvo steps being taken to secure terminal fa cilities, both in Pittsburg and in Balti more for the use of Wabash's eastern extensions. There was a fitful speculation in tho soft coal stocks, based upon tho benefit felt by that trado ns Incident of tho paralysis of tho anthraclto trade. There wero persisting rumors us well of an Intention on the part of tho Norfolk and Western directors to advance the dividend rate on that stock. Tho settle ment of the elevated roads troubles help ed Manhattan and the Goulds as a group. There was a notable show of strength In a nutnhori of minor railroad stocks. Tho National Lend stocks responded to tho reports of a combination of the lend Interests of the country. United States Steel shot up ?h on tho news of an ad ditional distribution of $10,000,000 profits to tho underwriting syndicate, thus bring ing the total distribution up to $M.O0O.W) on actual paid lu' subscriptions of $25. 000,000. Tho stock relapsed quickly Into comparative Inactivity, but with a frac tional gain retained. Tho aggresslvo steps being tnken on behalf of the North ern Securities company to clear up liti gation against that corporation and tho hopeful views expressed or its earnings by James J. Hill give tho Impression that active stons are nendlnir towards a distribution of the stock. This and many other plans are supposed to bo waiting upon the return of J. P. Morgan, who sailed for Now York today, Amongst tho weak features Amalgamated Copper was affected by tho unstable tono of the raw copper market, Tho price of Rock Island was lowered, supposedly with n view to discouraging tho disposition of minority holders to liquidate their hold ings rather than consent to the conver sion plan. Tho closing was quite' active and Irregular. Total sales, 179,000. Wabash debenture Hs were the feature of the bond market. The Central or Geor gia second Inromes were also In demand. Total sales. $,710,000. lT. S. bonds were all unchanged on tho last call. The following quotations nro furnished The Tribune by Halght & Freeso Co.. 311 m.'i Mears Building. W. D. Riinyon, man ager.
