SUITS AGAINST JUDGES.
Many Legal Contests Growing Out Of =
Suit for Damages.


SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 91.-A profound
sensation was caused In court circles and
through the city yesterday by the filing
Of suit by Attorney Cornelius Smith
against President Judge r. w. Archibald
Superior Court Judge e. N. Willard and
his partner and son-in law, Major Ever

ages At the same time his father brought

of his sons services. The elder Jennings
is now under bail on charge of perjury,
based upon allegations made against Of
ficials of the court in an affidavit filed
when his case was called for trial last
May.
Attorney Smith then went to the su-
preme court for mandamus to compel
the lower court to discharge his client on
common bail, and in doing so he made
charges which induced ex- City Solicitor
Burns to sue for S50, 600 damages for libel

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 81, 1895.
F1REMEN PENs1oNEp.

At the last session Of the Legislature of
this state bill known as the "Firemen's
Pension Bill" passed and subsequently re-
ceived the signature of Governor Hastings.
Under the requirements of the Act it is
necessary, in order for the various companies
to receive the money from the state with
which to pay pensions that they organize an
association in each town, and the association
must be in working order by January 1st,
1896.
The law directs that the money shall be paid
to the treasurers of the various cities and
boroughs and by them to the association.
The latter body attends to the payments to
the benefciaries through its Board Of
Directors.
The law further stipulates that but one as
sociation shall be formed in the same town,
and all fremen who desire to reap its benefits
must be members in good standing Of one Of
the companies included in their association
The money is paid those who become disabled
in the service, or to the widows of those who
may be killed in service.
Many towns in the state have already
formed an association for the purpose, and
have placed themselves in a position to derive
the benefits of the law for their members and
their widows
Shenandoah has three strong companies
and so far we have heard of no steps being
taken by them looking to the formation o
an association for the purposes enumerated il
the bill. If the members desire to receive
the benefits of the law they should at once
proceed to carry out its requirements 1t il
legislation enacted for their special benefit
and more especially in the interests o
volunteer companies. The latter receive, al
a general rule, very little encouragement
from either the makers or the people il
general-or, at least, nothing adequate fo
the services they render the public-and it j
pleasant knowledge to know that al
opportunity is given them to place their dis
abed members upon the pension rolls of tn
state. The local fremen should organic
themselves at once and reap the benefits.

No nul1 FIent at Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Aug. 81. The bull fight
which has been so extensively advertised
to take place in connection with the Cot
ton States and International exposition
will not come off. The proposed exhibit
tion has never had any connection with
the exhibition itself, being merely a side
show intended to be presented in the Mid
way, The directors of the exposition have
discovered however, that the proposed
fight has become confounded in the public
mind with the exposition proper, and for
this reason decided to Withdraw from the
concessionaries of the Mexican village the
right to present the proposed fight.

BUFFALO, Aug 21-By the capsizing of
the small pleasure yacht Rung Brothers
last evening seven men of the thirteen on
board were drowned, That there was not
a greater loss of life is due to the nearness
of the tug e. c. Maytham and the quick

Henry SCHNEIDER, married; Thomas F.

man, name unknown, and an unknown
passenger.
The members of the party were en-
ployes of the East Buffalo live stock yards.
A strong wind was blowing, which made
heavy sea, and as she was entering the
harbor IA heavy sea swept over her, com
pletely engulfing boat and all on board.
Most of the life presevers were loose and
easily grabbed by those who had the OPP
portunity or the presence of mind to do so.
The skylight over the engine was doated
off as the boat sank, and this was seized
by some of the men. Two men grabbed
one life preserver and went down.
The tug Maytham rescued four of the
men, and two members of the life saving
service succeeded in saving two others.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The gold syndi-
cate yesterday prevented the gold reserve
from falling below the S1OO,O coo mark.
About 2 o'clock the treasury department.
was informed that S., $50, 900 in gold had
been withdrawn for export from the sub.
treasury in New York. AS the gold re-
serve at the close of business stood at
s1O2, 527, 146, the withdrawal would hav ,
reduced the reserve to 800, 677, ,143 A few
minutes afterward, however, Acting Sec
retary Curtis received telegram saying
that Mr.. Pierpont Morgan, of the syndi-
cate, had deposited 1000, 600 in gold in
exchange for greenbacks. This deposit
swelled the reserve to S101. .677. 14S.

A LITTLE encouragement shown the
children will act as an incentive to save and
become economical in habits There are hun
dreds of children in Shenandoah who spend
their money as fast as received, and this
habit is due, in great measure, to the want
of proper early training. If they are en-
courged to put away portion of the money
they receive, whether for wages or for gift
it will be surprising how the economical idei
has advanced in the course of few years
The child will never forget the lesson thu
taught.
