The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-04-30

The local court said it was good law
and nullihed the appeal. Mr.. Smith
didn't think it was good law and when
he took the matter up to the Supreme
court, found that the justices thereof
conceded with him. The appeal stood,
and Mr.. Burns had to meet it.
Yesterday Mr. Burns made good use
Of the knowledge which he gained by
this experience, giving another example
of the truth of the old adage that it is
an ill wind etc. Mr.. Burns, with
Frank T. Okell, is attorney for Hop
kins & Roberts, who because they used
a check instead of cash, were defeated
in an appeal from an award of arbitra-
tors in $4,000 suit against Laura
rockingham. Mr. Burns. amidst much
laughter, went before the judges and
made the following notion
Now, April 20, 1897, attorneys for
plaintiffs move for a reinstatement Of
the rule to strike off the appeal in the
above case on the ground of after dis
covered law, as set forth in the case of
Burns VS.. Smith, No. 7S1 Sept. T., 1895,
common pleas of Lackawanna county"
Court saw the stability as well as the
humor of the grounds for the motion,
and forthwith granted a rule to show
cause why the appeal should not be
reinstated.
EXECUTORS WANT TO BORROW.
Hon. Lemuel Amerman for the Hand
ley executors, applied for permission
to increase the amount to be realized
/ by mortgage from the Wyoming house
property, from $4,000 to $125,000, Civ
ing as his reason the recent arrange
ment made for the erection of a de-
partment store on the plot.
In his petition he says that experts
give it as their opinion that the WyOm-
ing house will always be a source of
heavy expense for repairs and will new
er be saleable; while a new building
such as is contemplated will be sale
able when such is possible eighteen
years hence. The rental of the present
| building would not be over $4,000
if used for hotel purposes. By the de-
partment store arrangement a yearly
rental of about $4,000 will be realized
| The fact that court when granting
the original petition for the privilege
Of mortgaging the property said il
would much prefer if the mortgage was
| for a larger amount to erect a new
| building, is a pretty safe indication
| that the petition will be allowed.
The cases argued yesterday were
Guernsey Bros. against Meredith Jones
! and others: exceptions; Common
wealth against Martin Woyshner: eX.
ceptions to report of auditor; Thomas
| f. Smith against Joseph Fellows: rule
to reinstate rule to satisfy judgment
| A. j. McHugh against Bridget Me
| Hugh: rule for a new trial; A. Froth
ingham against w. Gibson Jones: rult
for a new trial; John Moran agains
the Scranton Traction company: rult

Seminary Heights.

\ new plot of ground in Green Ridge,
was purchased on Monday of last week
by we'll known Scranton Real Estate
men, Messrs. Charles du Pont Breck
Edward j. Lynett and Horatio N. Pat
rick, with the intention of plotting the
same into city lots. This tract of land
is situated along the northerly side Of
Adams avenue, and commands a sweep
ing view Of the valley and city.
The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart
own the thirty acres on the opposite
side of Adams avenue, so insuring an
open prospect over what will remain
substantially park for many decades
to come.
The improvements, the low price of
lots which have been cut of size and
Lprice to enable people of very moderate
means to secure home sites, together
with the attractive surroundings, will
render it certain that this location will
find ready purchasers who can have no
possible cause to regret their choice.
The plot contains but forty-six lots,
and the opening sales will begin tomor-
row, May LIST, upon the grounds.

Doings of Argument Court.

In the case of Burns against Smith,
No. 7S1, September term, 1895, the Su-
preme court decided that the costs of
an appeal could be paid by check.
There is some old law or another which
seems to say that such costs must be
paid in cash When Cornelius Smith
appealed from the award of arbitrators
in the above case, he paid the costs
with a check. Twenty days expired,
and then Mr.. Burns moved to have the
appeal stricken off on the strength of
this law about costs being paid in cash,

No Depression in the South.

The Savannah News says: We ven
ture to say that the farmers of the South
know very little from experience OF
hard times and of the business depres-
sion of which so much is said in the
newspapers, though it is safe to assert
that nine out of ten of them have heard
so much about the lack of prosperity
that they believe their material condi.
ton is steadily growing worse, instead
of better. They do not compare their
material condition of ten years ago or
even year ago, with that of today. In
fact, they do not inquire of themselves
as to whether they are freeing them
selves of debt or increasing their debts.
They accept the popular opinion that
the country is not prosperous, and that
hence they are not prospering. If they,
and many engaged in other occupa-
tions, were to scan the facts closely as
to what their material condition was,
and what it is, their talk in respect to
the hard times would have wholly diff
ferent tone.
The business of the country is de-
pressed. Business men are complain
ing, but Southern farmers have no rea-
son to complain, and Southern business
men will soon have no reason to COM
plain if the Southern farmers continue
to prosper.
