The property was deeply in debt and
heavily bonded and the agreement in
the lease was that all these liabilities
would be assumed by the lessee and
paid and that the road and cars would
be kept in good repair.
1t appears that the Lackawanna COM
pany did not do all that 1t had agreed
to do. and that in consequence several
suits in assumpsit are now pending,

SKETCH OF COLONEL BOIES.
Reprinted from the Current Number of
the Inventive Agc-A Prominent Mem
Der Of the American Association Of In.
yentOrs aud Manufacturers.

In an article, entitled Inventors and
Manufacturers, the Inventive Age, of
Washington, ID. c., of this month has
an excellent photograph of Colonel II.
NJ. Bales, who Is described as one Of the
representative characters of the Amer
lean Association of Inventors and
Manufacturers. The following inter
esting sketch of the coloners career is
also produced:
In giving the biography of prominent
members Of the American Association
of Inventors and Manufacturers. the
one of Henry Martyr Boies, of Scran
ton, Pennsylvania, is one that certainly
gives an incentive to the struggling
genius of progress to all Americans.
Mr.. Boies has not only a wide reputa-
ton In his state but a national one as
well. He was born In the town of Lee,
Massachusetts, i'm 1897, of French HUI
genot parentage. He received a thor
ough, liberal and classical education at
Yale, where he graduated in the class
of 1883. In 1851 he became a member of
the firm Of Silver & Boies and for four
years was engaged in the freighting
business at Tivoli on the Hudson river.
In 1866 he removed TO Scranton, Pa,
his present home, and became the resi-
dent member Of the firm of Laf1in, Botes
& Turck, powder manufacturers, and
also identified himself with all the pro-
gressive movements In his adopted city
for the promotion of its best interests.
In 1869 Col Boies was elected president
Of the Moosic Powder Co., which posi-
tion he still occupies. The frequent
disasters from the careless making of
cartridges by lamp light caused him in
1873 to exercise his inventive genius by
the invention and patenting OF cart
ridge-package for mining powder,
which has been universally adopted in
this country and has largely reduced the
casualties in coal mining. During the
uphe avals and excitement throughout
the coal and iron regions of Pennsyl-
vania in 1877 1t became necessary to
check the lawlessness and control the
lawless spirits who threatened the state
and city government The well known
City Guard of Scranton was formed and
from his past experience as man OF
brave spirit and great executive ability,
Mr.. BOies was earnestly requested TO
take command of the company, when
position he held until they were mus
tered into the National Guard as Bat
TALON In 1873 II was consolidated with
Independent companies surrounding in
to the l3th regiment, and he was com
missioned as its Colonel and did active
and efficient service in raising the stand
ard of the National Guard to its present
high position. In 1882 Colonel Boies
was chosen president of the DICKSON
Manufacturing Co., which position ne
filed until his resignation in 1886. While
at the head of the Dickson Manufactur-
| ing Co he invented an improved steel
tired car wheel, known as the "Boies
Steel Wheel" which has been eXten-
sively approved and adopted by the rail-
roads of this country, and large shops

Ellinwood's players, who have at
tracted considerable attention by their
powerful playing at Davis theater,
will today present the realistic melo-
drama, prisoner for life" which de-
plcts life In South America. This melo-
drama Is strong in every sense of the
words and will attract the same pat
ronage as was liberally given to the
company for the two days of the week.
The press notices of the company
warmly commend the brilliant manner
in which this play is staged, and the
sensational scenes are brought out in
a striking manner. while In other parts
the comedy situations cause great mor-
riment. Miss Lillian Bayer has new
songs, which are encored on every occa-
sion. and Harry Burns Is u decided
success in his new specialties.

Holgate arrested Robert Holland, of
Pittston, yesterday at the Notch who
was suffering from delrium tremens

When arrested he was walking bare
footed in the snow and could give no ac-
count of himself. He was brought to
the city hall and attended to by DR..
Fulton, the police sergeant. 1t is
probable that owing to the prolonged
exposure 1t will be necessary to ampu-
tate a portion of his feet.
