COURT HOUSE SITE SETTLED Commissioners Have Eight to Use Eiver Common. Judge Endlich, of Reading, Decides as Above, but Op ponents Will Take Ques tion to the Higher Courts. The opinion In relation to the court house site question was received in Wllkosbarre yesterday from Judge (. A. Endlich, of Reading, who presided in this county when argument was heard. Tho argument on the application for an injunction to restrain the county com missioners from building on tho river common site was heard by Judge End lick some months ago and the opinion has been expectod for some weeks. The injunction was applied for in behalf of Dr. E. Gumpert and others and the allegation was that the city had no right to transfer tho river common site to the county, that the site was unfavor able and unfit. Tho opinion dccidos that under the acts of assembly the commissioners have tho right to accept the river common site and build upon it and the city of Wilkosbrrre has tho right to transfer tho site for the erection of a court house, such a purpose being within tho intent of the legislation vesting the city with the control of the river common. The opinion is iengthy, taking up fif toon type-written pages. Judge Rhone, counsel for the appli cants for the injunction, states that in all probability exceptions to the opin ion will bo filed and if these are re fused by the lower court tho case will be taken to tho supreme court. If this proceeding is rosorted to the final de cision may not be reachod for a year and a half or two years yet. Then it would take two years more to build the court house. It looks as if there would be no new structure ready for occu pancy for about four years. Fought Ten Rounds.

The fight was rather tame for the reason that McGoc feared his opponent and not until tho eighth round did any life appear in the "mill." Ward then rushed matters and tried to put his man out. Thore was so big a crowd that every space was filled. People wore present from nearly every city in the eastern part of the state. Ward did tho leading and up to the eighth round few hard blows were struck. In tho ninth and tho tenth Ward made a punching bag of McGee, bnt ho stood ground quite well and took the punish ment gamely. Had a fight gone anothor round McGee would probably have been knocked out. Mrs. R. F. Mellon Dead Mrs. Robert P. Mellon died yesterday at the homo of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Quigley, in Pittsburg, after a long and lingering illness. Deatii was duo to lung trouble, from which the deceased had suffered severely for tho past two years. Mrs. Mellon resided in Froeland the greater part of her lifn. A few years ago she removed to Elizabeth, N. J., with her husband and family, but tho climate there was unsuitable and she returned to town, Later, when her parents removed to Pittsburg, she went there in the hope of improving her health. Resides her husband, the deceased is survived by three young children, also by her parents and several brothers. The remains will arrive at liazleton at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning and will bo taken to the residence of her brother, James, in Jeddo, from whence the funeral will take place at 9 o'clock on Friday morning. A requiem mass will bo read at St. Ann's church and the interment made at St. Ann's cemetery. Surprised Their Friends.

Stephenson at the Episcopal church. Mr. Edmunds left hero on Saturday for RufTalo, and upon his arrival at VVaverly stopped off there. Miss Cunningham was visiting her slstor in that city at the time. On Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Edmunds left for tho Pan-American Exposition and will spend their honey moon at RufTalo and Cleveland. Upon tlioir return they will begin housekeeping on Adams street. Pennsy Behind New Lines. The belief that tho Pennsylvania Railroad is behind the road being built between Wilkosbarro and Ila/.loton was strengthened by an answor filed to the suit alined at preventing the completion of tho road. It states that botli pas sengers and freight will be carried, electricity and steam used as motive power and that connections will bo made at Wilkesbarre and at liazleton with the electric and the steam railroads. This gives additional weight, also, to the belief that the Pennsylvania is like wise promoting the new road known as tho "Cannon Rail Trolley" between tho county seat and Scran ton. Indignant Taxpayers, Foster township taxpayers who are employed by Coxo Eros: & Co. are indig nant at the action of Tax Collector Abe Lentz, of Eckley, in stopping their taxes through the pay oflice and not allowing thein tho 5 per cent rebate which the law allows on taxes paid within the first sixty days after receiv ing tho dupllcatn. The rebate limit will not expire until the 29th inst. and the taxes were re tained at tho pay offices last .Saturday. Unless the tax collector acts promptly in refunding the overcharge, several of the victims promise to make matters warm for the official. Firemen Leave Tomorrow.

THEATRICAL "The King of the Opium Ring," which proved last season to be one of tho most successful melodramas that has tourod the country In years, will bo here Friday evening. The play well deserves the support it receives, for it Is well pre sented by a competent company and tho scenic effects and costumes in the sev eral acts are very beautiful, represent ing faithfully much of Oriental gor geousness. A phase of Chinese lifo that is so little known hero in the Fast is the theme of tho play. The horrors of an opium joint and the uproar of a Chinese theatre, with its clashing cymbals so dear to the Chinaman's heart, are seen and heard. A Chinese wedding, a most peculiar ceremony, takes place, the bride's costume surpassing in elegance and beauty auything in our way. The company selected by Mr. Hlaney to present tho play this season is fully adequate to the requirements of tho many strong situations in the thrilling story told. Several up-to-date special ties are introduced throughout the action of the play. William Schrode, the famous clown, heads a company of comedy acrobats.
