BOYER'S COAL LEASE.
II Will Figure Prominently in Litigation
Which Has Just Beguu...An Ia.
junction Asked For.

The Acme Coal Company, through its
attorney. :. b. Price, yesterday filed a
hill in equity asking for an injunction
against Jacob w. STROUD and George
+. Chamberlain. to restrain the de-
PENDANTS from taking possession OF the
land and coal in Carbondale and Fell
townships sold and leased to the plain
tiffs by William d. Boyer and others
on August g. 1898, and that a Judgment
in eiectment obtained by the defend
ants against the plaintiffs be declared
void and annulled.
In the bill of the coal company it is
set forth that on July .. 1892, stroud
and Chamberlain bought from J. j. AL
bright certain coal lands in Carbon
dale and Fell township. On August ;.
1893. they leased the coal to William
ID. Boyer, Frederick Fuller and JON
athan Vipond, who assigned the lease
to the Boyer Coal Company. The name
of the Boyer Coal Company was Feb
ruary is, 1895. changed to the Acme
Coal Company. BY the terms of that
lease the lesseeS were to pay 30 cents
a ton for all coal above pea, 10 cents
for pea and cents for buckwheat. un-
til all the merchantable coal shall be eX-
hausted, and the minimum annual out
put was fixed at 10000 tons. The lease
further stipulated that when. in the
opinion of the prantees, all the coal in
the said land shall have been paid for
that can be practically mined, they
shall notify the grantOrs, whereupon
the said parties shall each select
competent mining engineer, and the
two thus selected shall select a third
competent mining engineer. and the
said engineers, when so selected, shall
constitute a board of arbitration.
The amount of coal specified in the
lease has not been mined, but the
plaintiff claims this was because it is
so interviewer with slate and honey"
that 1t could not find a market for it.
1t is claimed, however, by the plaintiff
that it has paid about. $1,000 for coal
which has not been taken out, or mined,
and for which it received no considera
tion.
on February II last Patterson & Will
cox, attorneys for Stroud & Chamber
lain, sent notice to Boyer. Fuller &
Vipond and to William Griffith, presi-
dent, and A. G. Gilman, treasurer of
the Acme Coal Company, they had for
feited all rights under their lease, and
unless the minimum royalty was paid
they would proceed to eiectment. BY
letter dated February IS, 1896, Mr..
Price, attorney for the Acme Coal
Company. notified Stroud & Chamber
lain that all the merchantable Coal
had been exhausted. called attention
to the arbitration clause and named
j. II. RittenhOuse, c. f., as their arbi-
traitor. Stroud & Chamberlain took
no notice of this, but their attorneys.
Patterson 4 Wilcox, on October "a last.
entered judgment on the ejectment
clause in the lease. This the plaintiff
declares to be fraud, and wishes the
court to set it right ~ striking off the
judgment of ejectment and holding the
defendants from taking or giving pos
session of the property.

MCCARTHY CASE
GIVEN TO THE JURY

Counsel Heard Yesterday.
WITNESSES THAT WERE SWORN
James Doyle, Anna Quinnan, Frank
ScnnlOu. Thomas Riel and Charles
Gunster CaiIcd..COIcnci Fitzsim.
mons Made the Closing Argu.
mcnt sOr thc Defense and Jchn Il.
Kelly for the Plaintiff.

While the plaintiff in tho case of N.
5. Mccarthy against Margaret Scan
lon, administrators Of the estate of
Martin Scanion, deceased. was on the
stand Monday, he stated and repeated
several times that he was positive that
the note for $1,000 which is the cause of
the suit was signed by Mr.. .Scanlon on
13, 1883, between the hours of L 80 a. m.
and l2.30 p. m.
In rebuttal of the testimony James
Doyle. of the then existing firm of
YoOs 4; Doyle, and Anna Quinnan. Mrs.
Scanlon'S foster daughter. We're called
to the stand. Miss Quinnan testified
that she broke coal scuttle on that
particular day and remembered that
Mr.. Scanlon went out to buy new one.
MIR. Doyle swOre to Mr.. Scanlon coming
to his store about noon on the day in
question and remembered selling him 4
coal scuttle. To cOrroborate his state
ment he produced the firms day book,
which showed an entry of the sale on
July 13, 1885,
CROsS-EXAMINATION.
On cross-examination Mr.. Kelly drew
attention to the fact that while Mr..
Doyle testified that the sale was made
about noon the coal scuttle entry was
the last but one of the five and three
quarters pages or entries on the DAY
book for the day in question.
Frank Scanlon, a son of the deceased
Martin ScanlOn, was called to the
stand by the defense to rebut Mr.. Nc
Carthy's statement that he had never
been in the Scanlon home after Mr..
Scanlon married his second wife. The
witness swore positively that he saw
Mr.. Mccarthy there several times and
particularly remembered his being
there on the day when the alleged con-
versation took place in Mrs. Scanlon's
sick room. Contractor George Cooper
also swore to having seen and transact
ed business with Mr.. Mccarthy at the
Scanlon home. in the presence of Mrs.
Scanlon. on July 16, 1883.
Thomas Riel was called by the plain
tiff to tell that Mr. Scanlon had made
admissions to different persons that he
owed Mr.. Mccarthy money.
HAD MONEY IN BANK.
Charles Gunster, of the Merchants
and Mechanics bank, showed by the
bank records that Martin Scanlon had
money to his credit at the time the note
is alleged to have been given.
Colonel FitZsmmOns closed for the
defense with a careful review and eio-
quent exhortation. Mr.. Kelly for the
plaintiff brought out in concise and
pointed manner the various points
which he would have the jury particu-
larly dwell upon, presenting them in a
plain. argumentative style. Each of
the two attorneys occupied an hour in
closing, and Judge Archibald consumed
another hour in charging the jury. 1t
was 4.4O .. m. when the jury retired.

the number which opened on the first
