BOTH CLAIM THE PLACE.
Interesting Struggle for the Posse sion
Of the Faurot House...0fficers Had
10 Be Called.

There was a minor state of seige at
the Faurot House, on Washington ave-
nue., yesterday morning between two
opposing forces, each claiming a right
to occupy the place as tenant, and be-
fore the action had subsided, an alder
man, lawyer and a representative of
the owners of the property took hand
in the engagement, which didn't en-
tirely quiet down until the police were
called to keep the vanquished party
away from the place.
Mrs. John Faurot retired from the
proprietorship on Sept. 23 in favor of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Raisley, who
lived across the avenue, and on the
24th the Raisleys made an agreement
to dispose of the lease and contents of
the place to Samuel Overfield, of Della
ware Water Gap.
Overfield assumed the proprietorship
of the Faurot House Oct. l. There
was considerable dispute as to pay
ments on the lease, the Raisleys con-
tending that Overfield was in arrears,
and the latter admitting it, but claim
ing that many articles which were to
have been left in the house had been
removed.
leys ordered provisions necessary for
dinner at the large establishment and
at . o'clock came to the house, accom-
panied by a Miss Boofman and third
woman. The former is a sister of Mrs.
Raisley. They demanded possession of
the place and the departure of MS.
Overfield and her daughter.
Mrs. Overfields command that the
Raisley party beat a retreat was met
with a refusal and she summoned
Charles L. Hawley, Mr. Overfield's at
torney. He could not induce the Rails
leys to leave until he had procured a
warrant from Alderman Howe, which
| involved a charge of breach of the
| peace and forcible entry. 1t was served
| by Mounted officer Dyer. The Rails
| ley company left the place, but re-
| turned in an hour and again tried to
| enter, but found the door guarded by
a policeman who denied them entrance.
Dinner was served at the usual hour
| under Mrs. Overfield's direction and
| during the remainder of the day she
| and her daughter continued to conduct
| the affairs of the establishment with
| out interference and in well-regulated
manner.

A Splendid Beginning.

Only four weeks have elapsed since
the Scranton Conservatory of Music
was opened for the reception of stu
dents, yet within that short time one
hundred and fifteen pupils have regis
tered (of whom many take more than
one study, and new students are COM
ing in every day. That many of these
students represent some of the most
conservative and cultured homes of the
city is a sufficient commentary upon
the institution and its corps of teach
ers. On Thursday evening of next
week occurs the first faculty reception,
which will be given to the students
and their friends. Several hundred in
vitations will be issued by the students
during the week which intervenes, and
the occasion will be a social event of
more than usual prominence. ~

1.-THE exchange stamp business Is
slowly but surely driving me to drink
said a prominent business man yester-
day. "The way the ladies and chill
dren badger us to death for stamps is
a caution. It's seldom that a man asks
for them and when he does it is always
done in the same way that he might
under different circumstances, ask a
stranger in the street for a dime for
bread, when he knew that the stranger
knew that the dime wouldn't go for
bread, but it does seem to me that
there isn't woman or a child In
Scranton who isn't making a stamI

listened, Just you try to fill a bool,

you'll see that it's no joke for the

eat so much meat, in order to secure
more stamps. and we've killed the cal
