impetus by McKinley's election. Rela-

JOHN ISHAM'S OCTOROONS.
Present n fIigh. Glass Entertainment
Of Variety and Melody.

One of the best and cleanest variety
attractions that 1t will be ScrantOns
pleasure to witness this season is John
Isham's Octoroons," which delighted a
full house at the Academy of Music
last night and will give two perform
ances today. Isham has gathered to-
gether what seems to be the cream of
Octoroon talent, has staged and cos
TUNED the company with lavish ex-
penditure of money and gives what is
in some respects an artistic perform
ance.
1t was an agreeable disappointment
to many of last nights large audience
to witness, an entertainment of the
speciality kind that was wholly free
from the slightest suggestion of the
vulgar. either in action or words. Much
of it. the costuming and stage settings
bordered on the artistic, and the work
of the artists was thoroughly i'm keep

CITY WON FOUR CASES.
Garfield Avenue Grading Suits Brought
to q TerminatiOn..V erdlct Not Reached
10 Barthold.Pritchard Case.

The city won four SUITS which It con-
tested in common pleas court yester-
day against property holders who re-
fused to pay for the grading of Gar
field avenue, between Lafayette and
Pettibone streets.
The city graded the street in April,
1892. The predatory legislation looking
to the Improvement specified that the
viewers should make the assessment
according to benefits. The final ordi-
nance under which the work was done
provided that the foot front rule should
prevail. City Solicitor Tarrey objected
to the Introduction of the resolutions
which prefaced the ordinance on the
grounds that the ordinance superseded
all the minor preliminary measures and
consequently, was alone relevant.
Judge Edwards sustained his objec-
ton, and as the defense was based en-
tirely on the provisions of the resolu-
tions, the attorneys for the property
holders, r. A. Zimmerman and c. L..
Hawley. permitted verdict for the
plaintiffs with the intention of arguing
against the objection before a full
bench. Judge Edwards explained that
he had sustained the objection In order
to have it argued before a full bench,
as has been the custom in passing on
knotty points Of municipal law. Abel
LAWS was tIlt utltIludHt tHc test
case. The defendants in the three cases
which hinged upon it We're Henry
Jacobs, William Roberts and David
Williams. The verdict was for S14 and
costs.
The case of Edwards and Berthold
against Martha Pritchard was gwen to
the jury at 2 o'clock, and at adjourn
ment no verdict had been reached. The
case was tried before Judge Gunster at
a former term, and a verdict was rem
dered in favor Of the plaintiffs. a new
trial was granted on the grounds that
there was a discrepancy between the
deposition and the evidence. The bone
of contention Is 5000 judgment note
which Mrs. Pritchard gave to the plain
tiffs. She claims it is not binding, as 1t
was to pay her husbands store bill. The
storekeepers alege that it was given
by her for a store bill which she con-
tracted.
The weeks list was cleared at 3
o'clock and the jury discharged with
the thanks of the court Over twenty
