COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Minor Cases Which Came Up for
Trial Yesterday.


Besides the two big cases, the Jen-
nings and Won Storch suits, reported at
length separately, there were num-
Der of smaller matter which came up
in common pleas yesterday.
Before Judge Lynch in court room
No. 2, where he will sit for the remain
der of the week, the twice tried case of
the Universal Fashion company against
John H. Ladwig was called during the
afternoon. Ladwig received $500 ship
ment of paper patterns. He alleges
they were not according to contract
and were sent back The plaintiff COM
pany AYERS that It never received them.
In the first trial of the case the plain
tiff secured a nominal verdict. On re-
trial court took the case from the jury
and directed a verdict in the full
amount for the plaintiff. A new trial
was secured on the ground that the
case should have gone to the jury.
Vosburg & Dawson represent the plain
tiff, and G. II. Soper the defendant.
By agreement of consel the suit of
the Winton Coal company against the
Pancoast Coal company was referred

passed. The suit Is to secure possess
sion of a fifty-one acre farm in Madison
township.

II would be wrong to make them a mat
ter OF record without any substantial
tion and merely upon one mans say so.
During the presentation Of the papers
Major Warren objected to Mr.. Smith
having the clerk mark them filed"
before they came before court. Judge
Lynch said he had not noticed that
they were being marked before they
came to him. and turning to where
Smith and Jennings stood reminded
them that no paper could be filed with
out permission Of the court.
FILE MARK ERASED.
Them when Judge Lynch directed the
clerk TO erase the file mark from q pa
per which Smith had Just laid down on
the desk, Jennings and Smith promptly
asked for an exception which was read
lily noted bv the court.
Judge Lynch then notified the attor-
neys that the case was ready to be
proceeded with. Jennings stated that
he had no attorney. Judge Lynch
asked him why he had not employed
counsel. He replied that he could not
secure an attorney in this county, he
could rely upon, as nearly all were in
terested in the opposite side Of the case.
To Judge Lynch's question Jennings
admitted that he had not tried to en-
gage an attorney.
Thereupon Judge Lynch asked Jen-
nings IL he had any other reason for q
continuance.
Il desire change of venue, your
honor" replied Jennings.
The jury in the case has been
called" remarked the court.
We'll, / can't go to trial now"
do you say you won't go to trial?"
mo, say 1 am unable to go to trial
because 1 have no attorney"
At this juncture the attorneys for the
defense moved for compulsory non
suit and when Jennings again stated he
would not join issue In the case, Judge
Lynch directed a non-suit to enter.
Jennings, prompted by Cornelius
Smith, asked for rule to show cause
why the non-suit should not be stricken
off and Judge Lynch granted It, max
ing 1t returnable at argument court.
Judge Lynch remarked to Jennings
that he had better employ counsel be-
fore argument court convenes. Jen-
nings replied that he would II he was
able to do so.

SOMETHING LESS THAN THE EARTH
That's All That a Western Bicycle
Company Wants.

Some time ago a western bicycle
manufacturing company decided to re-
move its plant to some other place
and Secretary d. B. Athcrton of the
board of trade, hearing of this sent
note to the officers OF the company
inviting them to move to this city.
He received a reply yesterday.
1t set forth that the company pro-
poses to establish itself in some other
place before Oct. / and said their pay
roll amounts to $4,000 a year and
that they would require $4,000 square
feet of floor space. They will move
to the place that offers the greatest
inducements and will expect some
thing like this: Factory building free,
moving expenses paid, exemption from
local taxation for ten years, a salts
factory bonus. If the company decid-
ed to enlarge its plants it would ex-
pect local capitalists to take part Of
the stock.
1t is needless to say that Scranton
Will not bid for that industry.

and then he turned over the remain
der of the property. the land now In
dispute. For some reason, which the
defendants claim they do not under
stand, this last piece of land was trans
ferred to william Won Storch, alone,
the other trustee, Godfrey, being left
out of the deed of trust, contrary to the
wishes OF the children.
This. the defendants says, is the ex-
tent of Williams title in the land and
all the assertions made above they pro-
pose to prove by witnesses.
Mr.. Umsted finished his opening grist
at adjourning time. The examination
Of witnesses will be commenced this
morning. 1t is likely the case will oe-
cupy the better part Of the week.
