POLITICS IN COUNCILS.
Democrats Haven't Named Their
Choice for Engineer and Law.

The Democrats of councils have not
met in joint caucus to nominate cam
ddates against City Solicitor Torrey
and City Engineer Phillips, who have
been nominated by the Republicans
for reelection. A joint caucus of the
Democrats will probably be held Sat
urday night although no call has been
issued.
There is no material change in the
plan of the Democrats to name NJ. f.
Mcdonald for the solicitorship and f.
f. Blewitt to oppose Mr.. Phillips. Both
of them, however, have their enemies
in councils and their nomination does
not by any means insure an election,
even with the Democratic majority of
two votes on joint ballot.
Attorney Edward G. Newcomb was
approached by certain Democrats, his
personal friends, and asked to consent
to a nomination. Mr.. Newcomb fatty
declined the honor.
Common council meets in regular
session tonight. The joint meeting will
lie held Monday night.
1t was announced Immediately fol-
lowing the election of John P. Mahon
as clerk of common council that Will
lam Mclean would be employed as as
sistant clerk. Mclean served in that
capacity up to the election of eX-
Clerk Hatton. The appointment is not
certain according to report in the city
hall yesterday that Clerk Mahon would
name Cs assistant his brother, Anthony.

coming esteddfod will be on "Teyrna-
sOrdd y Ddaear" for q prize of $500 and
a second prize of SIS. The next highest
prize offered is $1OG i'm the male chorus
The total sum offered in prizes is S674
IL is not definitely known now many
choirs will enter in the chief competi-
ton. Last year Wilkes Barre sent a
male voice party and captured the
prize.
The literary competitions this year
viii be very interesting. There are
three principal contests for prizes of
s25 each. one for the best essay on
international Arbitration" rrize do
mated by the Scranton Times; poem,
"Gwylym Gwent," prize donated by the
Scranton Truth: short story, prize do
mated by The Tribune. There will be

THE SPRING BROOK RAILROAD.
Judge Edwards Rules in an Interests
ing Cssse Bearing Thereon.

Judge Edwards yesterday handed
down an order dismissing the complaint
of the plaintiffs in the case of the
Spring Brook Railway company
against the Spring Brook Water Sup
ply company.
The Railway company claimed that
the Water company unlawfully tore up
three miles of its track destroying the
road and working great injury thereby
The defendant justified its action on
the grounds that it owns the land in
fee simple and that the plaintiff hav-
ing ceased to operate the road, had ac-
cOrdinG to the terms of its lease, for
feited the right of way.
Judge Edwards found that the de-
PENDANTS contention was correct and
ruled that the plaintiff is entitled to
no relief. unless it suffered from the
manner in which the road was torn up,
in which case there is adequate remedy
at law.
