AUTHOR OF MILLENNIAL DAWN.
c. L. Russell to Speak in Scranton
Next Wednesday Night.

Scranton readers and students of the
"Millennial Dawn" series of Bible
helps, and all others who are inter-
ested in the subject of the pre- mil
lennial advent of the Lord have a rare
treat in store for next Wednesday
evening. c. T. Russell, the author of
these works has consented to come to
Scranton and deliver an address on
why Christians Should Take a Lively
Interest in the Second Coming of the
Lord in the Green Ridge Tabernacle
on May 5.
Mr.. Russelrs avowed object in writ
ing "Millennial Dawn" was "to vindi-
cate the Divine character and govern
ment and to show by a recognition
and harmonizing of all the Scritures
that the permission of evil, past and
present, is educational in its character
and preparatory to the ushering into
the golden age of prophecy in which all
the families of the earth will be blessed
with full knowledge of God and a
full opportunity for attaining ever
lasting life through the Redeemer,
who will then be the great Restorer
and Life Saver. (Acts Iii, 19-2D."
Mr.. Russell stands free from all creeds
e''N SNN'9 VI iliSll anu lS therefore dDlo
10 give an unbiased view of every
phase of Scripture truth and it Is be-
lieved that all classes Of honest think
ers who read his works will be en-
abled to realize the Bible as indeed
Gods word and to recognize his plan
therein revealed as one sublime exhi-
bition of justice, wisdom, love and
power. This is borne out by the fact
that "Millennial Dawn" has been the
direct means of conversion of hundreds
of life infidels.
The Green Ridge Tabernacle, where
the address is to be given Wednesday
evening, is on jefferson avenue, near
the Dunmore Suburban trolley line
The admission will be free and there
will be no collection.

There were two new moves on the
Jennings case checker board yesterday.
In the case of John G.. Jennings against
the Lehigh Valley, the source of all
the bother, an effort was made by the
plaintiff to secure a change of venue,
and in the latest case of them all.
John G.. Jennings against everybody
that has had anything to do with the
litigation, arguments were heard on the
motion of the defendants TO have the
case advanced to the head of the trial
list for the second week of the May
term.
The first motion came before court in
the form of an affidavit and petition
from Jennings, the one rehashing his
complaint about unjust treatment in
the Lackawanna courts and the other
praying for a change of venue for this
reason and the further reason that his
attorney Cornelius Smith, could not
practice before the Lackawanna bar.
The local judges took the papers and
reserved their decision.
When the motion to advance the ON
nibus case was allowed before Judge
Bennett, Tuesday last, he also made a
rule returnable yesterday permitting
advancing order should not be revoked
Judge Bennett came up yesterday and
proceeded TO hear arguments on the
rule in Judge Archbald's chambers.
Many of the thirty-two defendants
were on hand and so was Cornelius
Smith. An affidavit signed by John G.
Jennings was presented to Judge Ben
nett. 1t proved to be to all effects and
the grounds assigned being the allega-
tior that ]. II. Burns who entered his
appearance generally for all the de-
PENDANTS, did so without warrant and
that the procedure was a trick and u
fraud on the part of Mr.. Burns, in
tended to injure the plaintiff.
HE WAS EMPOWERED.
All the defendants present at once
avowed that Mr. Burns was empow-
cred to appear for them and those who
were not present. with two exceptions,
were hastily communicated with and
all ratified Mr.. Burns appearance.
| These two exceptions were Attorney
General Mccormick who, however
authorized Major Warren to enter an
appearance for him, Judge p. p. Smith
who is attending Superior court in
! Pittsburg and could not be readily
| reached.
Arguments against the revocation
of the rule were made by Major War
rem and Mr. Amerman. They contend
ed against the delay which the Jen-
nings' motion contemplated, holding
that as the defendants were desirous
of a speedy trial and the plaintiff, il
he had wrongs to be redressed, could
not be injured by having them re-
| dressed with all due haste, there was
| no reason why there should be any de-
| lay
As to the alleged irregular appearance
of Mr.. Burns it was argued that the
burden of proving the irregularity was
on the plaintiff, and that as they did
not protest against it they assented tC
it by their silence
MR.. SMITHS SUGGESTION.
AT this juncture Cornelius Smith
stepped forth and suggested to Judge
lating to the necessity of attorneys
showing warrant for their appearance
be read. The act was read by Mr.
| Amerman, but he claimed it did no
apply in this case as the plaintiff hat
not asked the defendants to free {
warrant of attorney.
Judge Bennett took the paper ant
promised to give decision within &
few days,

PAVEMENT NOT GOOD.

Judge Edwards asked Mr.. Wells why
they did not settle the matter out of
court as it was not denied that the
debt was just. Mr.. Wells answered
that his client and the other property
holders who would be affected by the
decision We're ready and willing TO
pay for the pavement. as soon as the
paving company fulfilled it's contract.
The pavement, he said, was a volumin-
Gus failure. 1t was not laid with the
proper materials and had never been
kept in repair as the contract called
for. II the company will do it's part
we will pay for the pavement without
the slightest hesitation" was Mr..
Wells concluding remark.
In the case of Reese against the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany, the motion to strike off the non
suit granted by Judge Gunster was
supported by Mr.. Wedeman and OPP
posed by Major Warren.
Isaac B. Felts' exceptions to the re-
port of the viewers on the new road
from Taylor to the Archibald mine were
presented by Mr. Scragg. The report
was argued for by Mr.. Oliver.

Hon. John p. Kelly appeared for the
motion and Mr.. Dawson, of Vosburg e.
Dawson, for the petition. Mr.. Kelly
submitted testimony taken before
George w. Peck, commissioner, show
ing that eight assuredly and possibly
ten of the thirty-two sfgners were not
qualified electors Mr.. Dawson COM
planned that he had not had time to
prepare an answer to the amended
declaration filed in the case Wednes-
day, and was given an extension in or
der that he might prepare a trlef.
He held that the fact that a man
voted, qualified him as al elector as
far as the purposes of the petition were
concerned, and said he thought he
would be able to prove this from tho
authorities. Judge Archibald asked
him If he was serious. He answered
that such was his impression, but he
was not positive tlat he was right
The motion to quash the mandamus
secured against the Scranton Traction
company by the borough of ThrooD to
compel the company to fill in between
its tracks and change its roadway to
the middle of the street, was argued
by Horace T.. Hand and /. II. Burns
for the company, end Vosburg & Daw-
son for the borough. 1t developed that
the wrong company had been sued, the
Scranton Railway company being the
proper defendants, and the mandamus
fell in consequence.
MR.. DAwSON'S ARGUMENT.
Mr. Dawson made a novel argument
in the case of Hull & Co. against Mary
- 1 a
with Hull & Co. in 1880. She was sued
for the debt and judgment being OBJ
tained against her, she paid install
ments on it for two years. Then she
ceased payments, not being obliged to
pay the debt, as she could not be held
liable. In 1887 the married womans
act was passed, which covered Just
such cases as this, making a married
woman who was carrying on any busi-
ness liable for debts she might ton-
tract. Mrs. Faurot, it is claimed. made
another payment in 1895, and this, Mr.
Dawson alleged, made her liable under
| the act of 1887, just as a man who BY
! making a payment on debt incurred
while he was a minor, ratifies that deb
and becomes liable for it.
A case stated between John j. Cou-
nence and Benevolent society of the
| South Side, was argued by Mr.. Harris
representing Coudon, and Mr.. Donovan
| representing the society. Coudor
claimed sick benefits and the claim wa:
not allowed becasue of a clause in thC
constitution which stipulates that nj
benefits shall be paid unless there &
| $50 or more in the treasury. 1t 1!
claimed by the society that at no timt
during Coudon's illness was there So
| in the treasury.
II. F. Wells appeared for e. B. Surge
in a case to strike off a municipal liei
on two properties in North Park. Thes
properties were assessed for asphal
paving. The assessment was regula
but the lien was defective because |
affects two properties separated by
public street. Mr.. Torrey, who ap
peared for the lien did not deny tina
it was irregular, but contended that
new apportionment was all that shoult
be allowed.

exceedingly so, although there Is no
reason why he should have been. We
saw was fresh," because he isn't now
since he has learned the lesson of re-
spect. given him by a nice looking
young lady. For long time, he sat
upon one of the trucks, and tried to at
tract the attention of the passers by,
with some of his quaint and curious re-
marks and ancient slang. Once he was
heard to remark to his companion,who
by the way acted really ashamed OF the
company he was in, What difference
does it make who we sass? We are ~
miles from home" First he would
speak to a lady, and then he woui1
make fun of the clothes of some man.
At last along come a demure looking
maid. Smarty thought here was &
good chance to have some sport, so he
began to make his usual remarks, and
Just as the young lady was opposite
him. he directed remark directly at
her. The demure look on her face
quickly vanished, and from her inno-
cent eyes, sparks Of fire could be easily
seen coming forth, as she exclaimed
scornfully "Sir-r-r!" Freshly really
didn't have so much brass in his face
as he thought, and his face began to
turn all colors Of the rainbow. red pre-
dominating. "If you weren't so fresh.
and green, you would know better than
to insult a lady," said the young lady,
lat any rate you're no gentleman
The fellow quickly disappeared. Where
or how he went, no one seems to know.
Perhaps the earth swallowed him, as
he no doubt wished it would; but he
received a lesson, that not only
amused, but instructed all who saw it
administered.
