Important Nominations Made by the Pres
ident —Mr. Cleveland Is Against Nepot
ism, and He Also Modifies a Famous
Itule—Other Washington News.
WASHINGTON, March 22.—The Democrats
of the senate met in caucus to consider the
subject of the reorganization of the elective
officers of the senate. There was a large
attendance, every Democratic senator with
the single exception of Senator Walthall
of Mississippi being present. As at the
preceding confer-
JWSR \ fer, Kyle and Al
xM r> A len, despite the
Cmg# * acfc * hey have

LHk niittee chairman
jv. ships by the ma
jority, were not
■Vjf.Zrecognized as be
* n K Democrats,
jand were not in
vited to attend.
WILLIAM K. COX. The caucus ad "
journed at 4 p. in.,
having during the four hours of its session
come to the determination to nominate the
elective officers. The ticket so nominated
is composed of William R. Cox of North
Carolina, an ex-representative, for secre
tary of the senate; Richard J. Bright of
Indiana, ex-sergeant-At arms, forsergeant
at-arms; Rev. W. H. Milburn, present chap
lain of the house of representatives, the
chaplain of the senate.
This result was not reached without a
protracted debate, for there was a consid
erable element of the party that opposed
the idea of doing anything that would be a
violation of the precedents of the senate
and give cause to opposition on the part of
the Republicans.

a constituent who wanted a government
position. He told Mr. Cleveland that the
applicant was a good Democrat, a good fel
low, and, furthermore, a relative of the
president himself.
"That settles it," Mr. Cleveland is re
ported as saying. "His name cannot be
considered." And then the president is
said to have read the congressman A lec
ture on the danger of appointing relatives
to office. Among those who saw Mr. Cleve

ceed at once to Honolulu. Mr. Blount con
stitutes the entire commission and no
other member will be appointed.
At first it was thought that three com
missioners would be appointed, but the
I cabinet decided to send only one represent
ative, and that a special envoy instead of a
commission would serve the purpose better
than a commission.

FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., MARCH 23, 1893.
UNION COMPANY WINS.
JUDGE WOODWARD GIVES IT THE
RIG*HT OF WAY.
The Controversy Over the Foster Town
ship Roads Is Decided In Favor of the
Loeul Company—The North Side Still
Trying to Gel to Freeland.
On Monday afternoon Judge Wood
ward gave his decision in the injunction
case of the Union Street Railway Com
pany against the Hazleton and North
Side Electric Railway Company. The
contest originated through both com
panies claiming the right of way in Fos
ter township, and was brought to a point
where legal proceedings became neces
sary when the North Side Company
began laying its track on Centre street,
in the Points. The Union Company
then obtained an injunction, and the
case was argued last Wednesday before
Judge Woodward, who, in giving his
decision, says:
"The case presents a single question:
Which of the two companies claiming
the right of way oyer the road in Foster
township has complied with the require
ments of the act of May 14, 1889, (P. L.
211)? This section provides that no
street passenger railway shall be con
structed by any company incorporated
under this act within the limits of any
city, borough or township without the
consent of the local authorities thereof,
etc.
"The plantiffs allege that on Februury
13, 1893, they applied to the supervisors
of the township for the right of way in
question, and presented to the court a
copy of the minutes of the supervisors'
meeting, granting them the right of way
over the roads in Foster township.
"The defendants produce an affidavit
of Matthew Long, which states that as
the agent of the Hazleton and North
Side Electric Railway he called upon the
supervisors and procured from them the
agreement for the right of way dated
January 5, 1893.
"Assuming that the agreement obtain
ed by the defendant from the supervisors
on January 5, 1893, is not invalid because
of any fraud or misrepresentation, and
also that the meeting of the supervisors
on February 13, 1893, was properly held,
it then remains to inquire as to the legal
force and effect of a contract entered !
into by township supervisors, separately j
and without a meeting at which all are I
present for conference and consultation, l
in which way the contract presented by
the defendants was granted.
"The doctrine of the common law is
that when a power authority or duty is
coniided by law toanumbeof persons, or
whenever a number of persons as officers
are authorized or required by law to per
form any act, such act may be done and
such power may be exercised and per
formed by a majority of such persons or
officers upon a meeting of all the persons
or officers so interested or empowered ,
unless special provision is otherwise
made.
A number of opinions are then quoted j
and the judge continues: "In view of
the rule thus established it would seem
to follow that the contract entered into
between the supervisors of Foster town
ship and the Hazleton and North Side
Electric Railway on January 5 was in
valid and without force. It was not the
joint act of the supervisors, authorized
at a formal meeting of the hoard, but
the separate act of the two supervisors
in their personal and individual capaci
ties and at different times. The only
valid and lawful grant of the right of
way over the road in question was that
conferred upon the Union Street Rail
way Company by the resolution adopted
at the meeting of the supervisors on
February 13, 1893. And for this reason
the motion to continue the injunction
must be granted."
Union Company Meeting.
11. li. Sweeney, of Drifton, president
of the Union Company, ana C. W.
Weijslitnian, W. H. Jessup, Jr., and F.
W. Bleckley, of Scranton, directors, met
at Freeland yesterday and drove over
the route of the road in the borough and
township. Some very important busi
ness was transacted at the meeting, and
work will be pushed rapidly as soon as
the weather permits. It is not yet
decided in what part of the town the
plant will be located, hut it will likely
he erected at some point where water
and railroad facilities are convenient.
From persons who are in a position to
know it is learned that the Union is pre
paring to give Freeland one of the most
complete electric systems in the state.
A noticeable feature of the Union's
movements is that they are not accom
panied by a large amount of unnecessary
talk and biuiling, but they are hard at
work nevertheless, and the few persons
of town who are lamenting because
Judge Woodward decided against the
Hazleton people might do well to keep
quiet until they are better acquainted
witli the plans of the two companies.
North Side Company.
It is rumored that the North Ride
I Company will not he deterred from
reaching this place by the decision of
, the court on Monday. It is stated the
| present supervisors, Messrs McLaughlin,
of the Points, and Wilson, of South
Ileberton, met a representative of the
company in a store in the upper part of
the borough last week and held a meet
ing. They decided, it is alleged, to grant
the Ilazletoh parties the right of way
over the township road that extends
from above Luzerne street toward St.
Ann's church.
! With this road the North Side can
come here over the following route:
j Through Hazle township to Drifton,
then along the road that extends from
the latter place in the direction of Butler
valley, branching off it to the "church
road," which is also in Hazle, and then
entering Foster by the road over which
Foster's supervisors are said to have
granted the right of way.
This would make a very circuitous
route, and it is doubtful if the company
1 will go to the expense of constructing its
line over the roads named above.
Besides, there are a number of obstacles
that can he placed in their way so as to
completely shut them out if any person
so desires.
WANT MORE MONEY.
Reading'* Ueclvers Ask the Court to Let
Them Borrow $5,500,000.
The expected application of the re
ceivers of the Reading Railroad to the
courts for permission to issue certilicates
was made at Philadelphia on Tuesday,
when Thomas Hart, Jr., counsel for the
receivers, appeared before Judge Dallas
in the United States circuit court and
presented the formal application. Judge
Dallas, after carefully examining the
application, made an order referring the
petition to George L. Crawford, master
in the case, who is to report to the court
upon the advisability of authorizing the
issue.
The "combine" newspapers have been
telling their readers all along that the
Heading was all right and the receivers
would straighten everything out in a
few months, but this application puts nt
rest all reports of the condition of the
company. It is bankrupt, and all the
columns of "press bureau" articles that
MuLeod's free pull editors can publish
will not prevent the public from believ
ing it bankrupt.
In their petition the receivers ac
knowledge they have been unable to
make any very substantial reduction in
the indebtedness that was due February
20, when the company passed into their
hands, and they Hate that the indebted
ness at the present time is $7,053,000.
The receivers go oil to say that they
"believe if they are authorized to issue
certificates to the amount of $5,500,000,
they will be able with the current
receipts to meet the current liabilities
of the comyany, as the same will accrue
during the year ending the Ist day of
March, 1894, including all interest char
ges, rentals and guarantees, including
the outlays required to be made for
equipments, notes and car trust install
ments maturing during the year on con
tracts made prior to January 1, 1893."
They only "believe" they can do all
this, and make no guarantee that it will
lie done. It is expected, however, that
the application to borrow the money
will be granted without any opposition,
as nobody but the public must suffer the
consequences—and that is too small a fac
tor to consider when the interests of the
P. J: It. financiers are at stake.
Dividing I lit' r,leenss Money,
County Treasurer McGroarty has is
sued his annual statement regarding the
disposition of the liquor license money.
It shows that Freeland borough has 23
retail licenses at $l5O each, 5 bottlers at
S2OO each and 1 wholesale dealer at S2OO.
The SI,OOO paid by the bottlers goes to
the state, also the S2OO wholesale fee,
and of the retail license money the coun
ty gets SO9O and the borough $2,096.20.
In Foster there are 36 retail dealers,
who paid $75 each, and the township
will receive $2,039.50 and the county
$525. Foster also has one bottler, whose
SIOO fee goes to the state, as well as the
8200 received from its two wholesale
dealers.
Other districts in the lower end will
receive the following amounts: Butler,
$450; Conynghatn, $57; llazlo, $570;
llazleton, $20,218; West Ilazleton, $798!
and White Haven, $1,504. Foster will
get the largest amount of license money
of any township in the county.
The county treasurer will pay the
money over to the treasurers of cities,
boroughs and townships on Saturday
next.
