The survivors of the one Hundred
and Thirty regiment, recruited
in this region, and which paid for its
heroism by many lives during a short
term of service, will petition the legis
lature to have the regiments service
at Antietam commemorated by proper
tablets. a petition bearing upon the
matter is now at the Office of Alderman
O. B. Wright where survivors may
call and attach their signatures. The
petition is as follows:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of Pennsylvania Session of 1891,
Harrisburg, Pa.
Gentlemen:-Wh the government
of the United states recognizes the victory
of the Union arms in the Battle of Antie-
tam as of great national Importance
achieved at period in the history of the
war of the rebellion when defeat would
have involved the capture of the city Of
Washington and brought dismenbermant
of the Union; ana
Whereas In recognition of its impur-
tance the lines of battle on said field have
been paraleed with macadami2ed ave
nues and the positions ana movements Of
all forces both Union and Confederate,
engaged therein have been recorded on
cheap, unsghtly metal plates bolted to
metal posts about four feet high, often a t
fault both as to record and location.
Therefor to adequately honor the mem
Dry of the Union soldiers and to do jus
tice to certain Pennsylvania regiments
actively engaged i'm the Battle of Antie-
tam, and not represented by tablets at
Gettysburg. or Chicamauga we, the sur
ViVors of the one Hundred and Twenty
fourth, one Hundred and Twenty-tifth,
one Hundred and Twenty-eighth, one
Hundred and Thirtieth and one Hundred
and Thrty-second regiments, PenRsyVa-
mia Volunteers, whose names are herewith
appended, earnestly beg your honorable
body to grant at this session an appropria-
tion of $3.50 to be devoted equally to the
said regiments whose services in said bat
tie were very similar, to be used wholly
in the purchase of tablets, creditable to
each organization and to correctly record
the position, movements and causualties
of each in said battle.
Similar petitions will be forwarded
from points in Columbia, Wyoming,
Bradford and LuZerne counties by sur
vivors recruited in those localities.
In the one hundred and thirty
regiment We're two Scranton companies,
one from FactoryVille, one from Mon
tour county, two from Bradford county,
two from Columbia county, two from
Carbon county. The colonel was r. A.
Oakford of this city, who was killed at
Antiatem. In that battle in four hours
the regiment suffered a loss of 80 killed,
III wounded and s missing. Only about
800 returned alive at the end of the en-
listment.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
Judge Archibald Will Today Charge the
Jury in TunstaIl Case-..CIose of
JOnes.Schimpfi Case.

The defense in the case of w. C. Tun-
yesterday morning in trying to prove
that John U. Hopewell and not Tun
stall was the owner of the Providence
Register; that it was with Hopewell
the printing contract was made; that
it was to him they looked for a per-
formance and that he was given the
paper, with assets of 5000 in payment
of the very bill for which Tunstall now
sues.
a. F. Stokes, Simon Lauer, C. W.
Westpfahl and Henry Y. Koehler,
stockholders of the paper, testified that
all their dealings relative to the paper
and it's printing We're had with Hope
well, and that Tunstall was never men,
toned. Mr. Koehler in substantiation
of his averment that Hopewell was the
owner of the Providence Register told
that during the Crippen-Connell may
orally campaign, when he was treas
urer of the Democratic city committee,
he paid $lOO to Hopewell in considera-
tiOn of the paper supporting Crippen.
In cross-eXamining Mr.. Hopewell,
Attorney Hamilton tried to show that
the witness had placed his property in
Tunstall's name to avoid his creditors
and that in Northumberland county, in
February last, during proceedings to
compel him to support his father, Mr..
HopeWell swore he was insOlVent.
Judge Archibald refused to admit the
testimony.
The arguments in the case We're fin
inshed at adjournment. Judge Arch
bald will charge the jury this morning.
The Jones' Schimpff case, after nine
days trial, went to the jury at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. O'Brien
made the closing argument for the de-
fense and Mr. Reynolds for the plain
tiff Judge Gunster disregarding the
eternal fitness of things made a very
brief charge to the jury.

BEFORE JUDGE EDWARDS.
Judge Edwards, yesterday afternoon
handed down an opinion dischargng
the rule for new trial asked for by
the plaintiff in the case of A. b. Mum
against Elizabeth Griffin. The opinion,
which is over two columns in length,
deals as 1T necessarily must. with the
provisions of the bankruptcy act.
1t appears Aaron Griffin signed a
judgment note in favor of Is. II. Throop
and il. b. Phelps for $I,500, upon which
judgment was entered June II, 1897 Up
on his own petition Griffin was ad
judged bankrupt Sept. 49, 1878. OF the
proceeds of the bankrupt's estate, some
thing over $1,000 was applied upon the
judgment. Griffin died June 20. 1888
Eleven years after his death and seven
teen years after judgment was entered
a. b. Mum, the plaintiff, who had Sc
cured an assignment of the judgment
caused a scire facias to issue, seeking to
revive it.
In 1890 the heirs of Griffin, in an eject
ment suit, secured possession of lot of
land in this city title to which was
acquired by Griffin through a sheriff's
sale before he bacame bankrupt.
Now, the plaintiff claims that his
judgment was lien on this land before
the bankruptcy and that he can proceed
to attach it.
Judge Edwards holds that he must
prove lien existing before bankruptcy
against the specific real estate he in
tends to follow. The evidence in the
case is insufficient to establish this and
hence the new trial is refused.
In the case of NJ. Kaplan against
j. 5. Miller Judge Edwards granted a
rule for a new trial, yesterday. 1t is
returnable at argument court.
