Luzerns's Big Land Suit.

The case of T, Il. Deringer VS.. c. S.
Coke, involving the ownership of some
two thousand acres of valuable coal land
in the lower end of Luzerne county,
valued at 81, 900, 900, was called for trial
in Common Pleas Court, at Wilkesbarre,
Monday. Clarence Deringer, counsel
for the plaintiff, suggested that the
death of the defendant would necessitate
amending or in some way altering the
record. Franklin b. Gowen, counsel
for the CoXes, asked Mr.. Deringer
whom he represented. The latter
replied:
"The plaintiffs"
"Then file warrant TO that effect"
responded Readings eX-president.
Mr.. Deringer again alluded to the
death of one of the defendants, stating
that it was impossible to try case
against dead man.
Mr.. Gowen thought that this made no
difference, the tenant of the lands being
present, and this was all that was
necessary.
The Judge said that il Deringer
wanted to substitute some one in place
of the deceased he would give him
reasonable time in which TO do so, but
refused. his application for a special
sessionefor the trial of the cases. The
trial was thereupon continued TO such
time as shall be agreed upon by the par
ties interested. Mr.. Gowen asked
Deringer to file warrant TO see whom

An Important Decision.

Book, sewing machine, organ and
piano agents who have made a practice
of selling on the installment plan, and
then removing the article in case the
purchaser failed to make the contracted
payment, will have to change their
procedure, Judge Finletter of Phila-
delphia has recently decided that the
seller, or the agent has no right TO do
this on his own account. In other words
he cannot take the law into his own
hands. Before he can lay a finger on
the goods he must take legal action
through a writ Of replevin. If he does
not do this and attempts to remove the
goods, whose removal the holder resists,
he is guilty of assault and battery.
There can he no just objection to this
decision, The essential point in it is
that the installment man cannot decide
for himself what is or what is not law,
and that he cannot deprive his debtors
of the benefit of it. The larger class of
people who make purchases IN this way
are generally ignorant of their rights
and are apt to be easy victims to threats
and coercion. They can now bear in
mind that If they happen TO be behind
hand in their payments, as many Of
them are through misfortune rather
than through intention TO defraud, their
goods cannot be seized until their
creditors have recourse TO due process OF
law.

saturday Night,s Musieal Concord.

The musical concert, In School Hall,

hall was crowded by an anxious audi
enee. At 1880 the evenings entertains
ment opened by the appearance of the
management, Mrs. Chas. Bower and
Miss Lulu Zehner, upon the stage, shortly
after followed by Miss Mcdaniel, and
Elmer Reed, who rendered the Leo
March," very satisfactorily as was evil
denced by the long and loud applaudits
which followed. Want of space will
not permit US to separately euum-
crate each performance, suffice it to say
that among the special features of the
evening was the music rendered by
Misses Obert, Zehner aud Mcdaniel, Mrs.
Durling, Mrs. Snyder, Mrs. c. Bower,
and Messrs. Barr, Koons and Obert.
Miss Katie During, rendered a comic
solo-"Come in and Shut the Door

by the delighted audience. The "See-

Natural Gas at wilkssbarrs,

Natural gas has been discovered in
large quantities near Wilkesbarre. 1t
has been found in small quantities for
some years, and on the Kingston Flats
elbow holes" have been burning for a
long time. At the Stanton mines a
bore hole filled with a six inch pipe
sends up fame six feet high. Lately
this gas had made itself apparent in
large quantities in the basement of the
Hancock Street Public School, and the
directors have contemplated using il TO
fire boilers for heating the school. With
in the past few weeks Charles Williams,
proprietor of the Planesville Hotel, has
discovered it issuing from the ground
on his premises, has collected Il, and
now il lights and warns a portion OF
his house. 1t is conceded that the gas
is generated from the coal seams, and
when the enormous quantity of gas
elected daily from the mines is cOnsid-
cred, il is believed that il can be put to
practical use on an extended scale,

The Coal Trade,

The Coal Trade,
Last Mondays Philadelphia Ledger,
says: There is nothing of especial in
terest in the anthracite coal trade to
note this week. Adverse winds are
detaining vessels in Eastern harbors,
and consequently are causing trouble to
shippers of coal. New England dealers
are strenuous in their demands for
cargoes of egg and stove coal, ard the
Reading Company is being hard pressed
to deliver orders, many of which have
been booked for weeks past. The COM
pany cannot ship coal without vessels,
and as vessels are so scarce, some of its
customers who advanced "paper" for
coal for future delivery are much dis
satisfied. because now, when they want
coal, they cannot get it, and hence are
loud in their complaints. The stock of
the Reading Company at Port Rich
mond has increased about II 900 tons
during the past week, but the total
stock on hand there is still less than
100, 900 tons, most of it being unstable
sizes. There is considerable coal going
westward, and the demand from the
South is good, but the inability of
shippers to obtain water transportation
also impedes the filling of orders prompt
ly. Freights have stiffened considerably.
and 81 40 is about the ruling rate to
Boston. The line and city trade have
lost the "snap'' developed several weeks
ago. and good concessions are now being
made to effect sales of anthracite. Even
the special Goals of the most favorite
brands are not as firmly maintained in
prices as they were. The Lchigh Navi-
CATION Company's business is reported
to be in good condition, that company
being without any accumulation of coal,
and for what coal it has disposed of this
season fair prices are said to have been
obtained.
