JUDGE BENNETT'S DEATH.
Unexpected Demina of the Junior Mem
ber of Luzerne's Jtidiclnry.
Judge Lyman Hakes Bennett died at
his residence in Wilkesbarre at midnight
Sunday night. Ills death was unexpect
ed and came as a surprise to the whole
county. For some years past the judge
has not been in the best of health. lie
suffered from a bronchial trouble. He
spent the best of tho summer at Ilarvey's
Lake and vicinity. About two weeks
ago he roturned to Wilkesbarre to
preside in court. The weather was un
usually cold and tho courthouse being
without heat was vory damp. Judge
Bennett felt its efTects and was compell
ed to adjourn court and go home. No
alarm was felt as to his condition, as it
was thought that with careful nursing
lie would recover. But disease had
shattered his constitution and ho con
tinued to grow weaker, and on Sunday
night just as the clock was about to
strike tho midnight hour he passed
quietly away. Ho was buried yesterday.
Judge. Bennett was born In Harpers
lield, Delaware county, N. Y., on Feb
ruary 10, 1845, and was 54 yoars of age.
He was of Quaker ancestry. He worked
on his father's farm until he reached
his twentieth year, going to school when
he could bo sparod from tho field. He
went to Cambridge, 111., In 1865, and
spent a year clerking in the office of the
recorder. He entered tho government's
employ as a clerk in the auditors' office
at Washington in 1866. Ho hold the
clerkship until 1872, when he wont to
Wilkesbarre and in December of the,
same year he was admitted to the Lu
zerne bar. He had graduated from the
Columbia Law Schools, Washington, in
1870. In 1801 he was a candidate for
additional law judge, but was defeated
by Hon. John Lynch. In 1895, when
the act was passed croating an addition
al law judge for Luzerne county, Judgo
Bennett was appointed to the new office,
and in the fall of the same year he was
elected for a term of ten years.
A number of the prominent Republi
can attorneys of the county have been
mentioned as the probable successor to
Judge Bennett. The appointment will
be mado by Governor Hastings. Lower
enders favor (loorgo 11. Troutman, Esq.,
of Hazleton.
Tribute of the Court and liar.
In the court on Monday Ex-Attorney
General Palmer arose and addressed the
court and attorneys assembled, saying:
"It becomes my painful and sad duty to
announce that an honored judgo, who
has graced this bench by his learning
and his ability, has been called to
another world. I make this announce
ment that your honor may tako such
action as seems to bo appropriate under
tho circumstances. Judge Bennett is
dead."
Judge Woodward said, In reply: "The
court has heard with profound sorrow of
tho death of a member of this bench
who has endeared himself to his col
leagues as well as to tho community of
which he was so prominont and con
spicuous a member. I say this is heavy
news to all of us. There never was a
more faithful public officer in any posi
tion, in any state, than was Judge Ben
nett In this judicial office which ho
adorned. Fidelity to duty seemed to be
the religion of his life. No action which
the bar or the community can take in
his honor can bo inappropriate. I am
open now to receive any motion which
tho members of the bar think proper in
regard to further proceedings.' 1
On motion of Mr. llalsoy court ad
journed out of respect to the dead judge.
The members of tho Luzerne county
bar met on Tuesday to take action on

tho curtailment in tho number of street

fallen oft to such an oxtent that mer
chants aro becoming alarmod and beliovo
it Is tlinn to make a stand for their
rights. Tho inability or tho refusal of
tho borough councilmon and the Klectrlc
Light Company to come to terms, tho
spoaker maintained, Is severly affocting
the welfaro of tho town, and ho is of the
opinion that tho time has como when

between thorn and procure harmony and
more light can bo offered without ursurp-
Ing any of tho powors of the council.
