ACTION IN EQUITY.
Brought TO Enforce the Performances {
an ALLEGED AZ rccmcut

@sS"6"s W. sUaptSS tMS "
an Alleged Agreement.
City Solicitor J. ii. Torrey has
brought an action in equity for James
II. Fisher against Arthur Frothing
ham. Laura T.. rockingham and John
T. Porter asking that the defendants
be required and ordered by the court
to deliver n deed for lots number 30
and Il in block B on Columbia avenue
In this city.
On June s. 1898. John r. Porter held
the legal title to a certain tract Of land
partly in the First and Second wards.
1t was laid out in building lots and a
street called Columbia avenue was run
through it. The petition in the suit
states that the plaintifr believes the
lots in the said tract were offered for
sale during 1893. and thereafter by Mr..
Frothingham, who was the fully ac-
credited agent of Mr.. Porter. During
the spring of 1893 Mr.. Fisher entered
into an agreement for the purchase OF
five lots fronting on Columbia avenue
and the arrangements We're made
through Mr.. Frothingham.
The purchase money agreed to be
paid for the lots was 5000, and Mr..
Fisher transferred to Mr.. FrOthingham
so shares of Scranton Axle Works
stock, subject to the payment of a
loan of $500 to the Traders National
bank. 1t was agreed that the stock
was to be taken at par value and credit
given upon the purchase money Of the
lots for $1,000. Mr.. Rockingham agree
Ing to pay off the loan. The balance
Of the money was secured by mort
cages.
In January, 1894. a new agreement
was entered into between the parties
Mr.. Fisher gave back the deeds of the
five lots and was to receive clear title
to two lots 30 and 81 I'm block B, in con.
sideratiOn of the net amount Of his
Axle Works stock. He delivered over
the deeds of the five lots and has no,
received the deeds OF the two lots that
they We're to give him. The suit Is
brought to compel them to do SO.

REDS AND THE BLUES.
Latter Have IIOistcd Their Flag Above the
Court House.

The Blues have begun their fight in
the Young Mems Christian assOcia tiOn
membership contest by flying a. flag
from the pole on the court house. The
flag. which is six feet square, was
hoisted at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon and displays the words "Join the
Blues" 1t Is probable that the Blues
will fly their colors from other slightly
spots.
A humorous feature Of the struggle
Is the condition of affairs in offices of
the Hillside Coal and Iron company,
of which Captain w. A. May Is sup
erintendent. Captain May Is one of
the lieutenants attached to the Reds
cause, but the nine clerks in the Hill
side cOmpany's office are sympathizers
of the Blues. and have shown their
position by wearing blue neckties and
lapel buttons and in removing from the
office every article of u red color.
The typwriter had remained neutral
up to late yesterday afternoon when
she. too. espoused the cause of the
Blues. This brought upon Captain
May no little amount of chafling by his
business friends. -.

THE NEW DOMINION.
Gives Clay Clement an Opportunity of
Doing SOmc Good Character Work.

SOsuC uOOO NuuTOCIST "OTks
Clay Clement and his company pro-
duced 1.-THE New Dominion at the
Academy of Music last evening. The
play Is a study of character and the
central figure is Baron Hohenstauffen,
German nobleman, who Is travelling
in the States in the guise of botanist.
Mr.. Clement is the author of the
play, which contains much clever dia-
logue, but is deficient in action. 1t is
a pretty story that the author-a ctor
tells, one that would have an influence
in elevating the stage, but 1t is doubt
ful IL it will have long and success
full career.
Mr.. Clement did an excellent bit of
character acting which stamps him as
an artist of high order of ability.
Miss May Buckley Clayton made pret-
ty and winsome Flora May Randolph,
and shared with Mr.. Clement the warm
appreciation Of the audience. Other
members of the company who appeared
to good advantage We're: ]. ID. Will

The sale of seats for the gymnastiC
exhibition to be given in the FrOthing-

the Scranton Bicycle club. and will be
devoted toward the sum Of seven oi
eight thousand dollars necessary tc
build the proposed addition to the club
house on Washington avenue.
Whenever the team has performed In
public in Philadelphia the event has
been an occasion for attracting the
presence of hundreds of the best known
social element Of that city, and ii Is
probable that the appearance of the
team at the rockingham will attract
a fashionable Scranton audience. The
performers are the pick of the univer-
sity's athletes and their entertainment
Is always an attraction of Importance

received from Wilkes Barre. PittstOr

REMEMBERING THE HOUSES
City Engineer Phillips at Work Complying
with Mr.. Lauer's Resolution.

City Engineer Phillips has set his
CORPS at work making out a new plan
of house numbering. as required by q
resolution introduced by Mr.. Lauer.
At present many Of the houses are
not numbered at all and many others
are improperly numbered, causing no
end of confusion. 1t is now proposed
to re-number the entire city, following
the old system as closely as possible.
Each lot will be given a number, which
will be placed on the assessment maps
and the 1897 tax duplicates.
1t is not thought that there will be
any wholesale changes in the present
numbering necessary.

most despicable kind was recently per-

house of Victor Koch, at the corner
Of Madison avenue and Mulberry street.
Entrance to the house was forced by
unknown parties who turned on the
steam and water on the upper floors.
The expensive oak finishings were
warped and the water lOosened the

rooms. The same act was once before
perpetrated In the house. The loss
falls upon John BenOre, the builder. and

b. Argos, an Armenian resident OF the
city, is in receipt of a letter from a
friend in Armenia, in which details are
given Of the awful massacres perpe.
trated in the district Of Harpoot. The
letter, which was secretly mailed and
came via Paris, states that between
5000 and 10000 Armenians have been
massacred and upwards of 100. 900 are
starving and destitute in this district.
Snow lies to the depth Of several feet.
Some Armeniaus have taken to eating
grain. OF the 300 villages in Harpoot
fifty four have been sacked and burned
by Turks and Kurds. Thelrest are occu
pied by the butchering soldiers. There
were twelve American missions in the
district, but eight of them have been
burned. The lives of the Americans
have been spared, but they, with the
Armenians, are in great want, and in
some instances they are starving.
