Dispute Engendered by the Changing
of River Bed.

The equity suit of Calvin f. Peck and
others against the estate of j. w. Peck,
deceased, was called up before Judge
Edwards yesterday afternoon. l. II.
Burns and c. f. Oliver appear for the
plaintiffs and S. b. Price for the de-
fendant.
The matter in dispute is a sixteen
acre plot of coal land in Peckville, and
the cause Of the land being in dispute
is the changing of the bed of the Lack
aWanna river 1t was mapped out by
two different surveys, one of them
made nearly half a century ago and
the other some twenty-five years ago
Both of these surveys had as their
starting station the bank of the Lack
awanna river That a survey made
now does not jibe with either of these
former surveys is not to be wondered
at. This discrepancy leaves sixteen
acres that both parties lay claim to.
The case was still on at adjournment
and is likely to take up the greater
portion of tomorrow. The only other
case set down on this weeks equity list
is that Of Louisa Lyman against Lewis
Smith.

\ certain degree of reticence is being
used by the board of trade officers
concerning negotiations toward the es-
tahlishing in or near this city of Il big
New England manufacturing plant
which now employees 1,600 hands and
wants a plot of ground 215 acres in
extent.
The company is quoted "a :, a T.
in Dunn's mercantile directory which
indicates q high" credit of $1,0000OO.
The present plant consumes SlOO,OOO
worth of fuel per year and 1t is to re-
duce this item that the company wish
es to change it's manufacturing site
to the coal regions. The most serious
obstacle in the difficulty in securing
proper site and for which the COM
pany is willing to pay a market price.
AS long ago as 1894 the company
secured an option on 200 acres of the
Delaware and Hudson farm lands on
the Dickinson City boulevard but the
deal failed to materialiZe through an
inability to agree on q change in the
plot lines suggested by the manufac-
turers.
Recently board of trade officials Sc
CURED options on suitable piece of
ground midway between here and Car
bondale and on another site back of
Connell park. The facts were COM
muncated to the manufacturing COM
panY and its representatives are eX-
pccted here at any time. Meanwhile
President May and Secretary Atherton,
of the board, are endeGvoring to secure
verbal options on other plots.
The company wants Is acres for fac
tory buildings and 200 acres for yard
age room and company houses. Its
officers have expressed their intention
Of giving away lots to employees who
would have to be imported from New
England, skilled workmen of a class
which does not work In these regions.
The 100000 yearly fuel item in New
England, it has been represented, can
he reduced &C 2-3 per cent in this
vicinity.

Courts Attention Was Devoted to
Them All of Yesterday Morning,

The grand jury met yesterday morn
ing, listened to Judge Edwards charge
and then adjourned until Wednesday

LAST WORD TO VOTERS.

That the entire Republican county
ticket will be elected today is con-
cedcd privately by woll-informed Dem
ocrats; but they hope tho pluralIties
viii be small, so they can claim a
moral victory for Organism and free
silver. 1t rests with Republicans to
cancel this hope and clinch for years
TO come Republican supremacy in
Lackawanna county by getting out the
complete party vote. Rout out the

JAMES S. BEACO M,
From the Milkcs- Barre Record

From the Wilkos-Barre Record.
The Republican candidate for state
treasurer has, in manner, been compelled
10 bear practically the entire brunt of bat
tie in the present compaign. His only col
league on the state ticket, Major McCau-
ley, was entirely unopposed in the con-
Nehtlon, and ii has been apparent through
out the campaign that such disaffection
as there was inside the party extended
only to Mr.. Beacon and did not i'm tho
slightest degree affect Major McCauey.
lhe so-callcd Independents, who are sup
porting Mr.. Thompson for state treasurer,
nave no candidate of their own and make
no secret of the fact that they will vote
for McCauley. The Business Mems
league heartily endorsed him but made no
reference wh&tcver i'm their resolutions to
Mr.. Beacon. Those Republicans who
contemplate voting for DR.. Swallow will
at the same time vote for McCauley.
o
1t will thus be seen that all the opposi-
tion has been directed alone at the Re-
publican caLt idate for state treasurer,
ana this is not due to any valid objection
10 Mr Beacon personally, for he is ad-
mittedly an upright, honest man on whose
record there is not the slightest stain. He
Is thus singled out for opposition because
ne has stood with Senator QUAY in some
or his faction contests. For anti-Quay
Republicans to oppose Mr.. Beacon on
that account is TO show the same hot fac.
tional spirit which they condemn i'm Sem
ator quay and his a1herents If Mr..
bcacom We're an unworthy or unfit man
FOR the office that would be a defensibIe
cause for opposing him, but no such
charge Is made against him. On the con-
trary, his record in public and private life
is equal to that of the best. Republicans
cannot alord to antagonize duly and fair
ly nominated candidates of their party
solely on the ground Of Quayism or anti
Quayism. If the party should split on that
line it would become a hopeless minority
even in Pennsylvania. Personal worth
should count for something among those
OF the Republican faith. James S. Bea.
com is entitled to the united vote of his
party and should receive it.
