FIREWORKS POSTPONED.
Rain Makes a Change of Dates Here
Necessary.

Thousands of disappointed people
We're contained in Scranton and vicin-
ity last night when ii became known
that it was necessary to postpone the
great Pain fireworks spectacle, THE
Sinking of the Merrimac," at Laurel
Hill Park. Great preparations had
been made for the event by the man
agement. but they suffered such seri-
Gus setbacks during all of last week,
owing to the rain, that it was impos-
sible to carry out their original sched-
ule and were forced to make new dates
at nearly all the cities in which they
were announced to appear.
The management had arranged to
give the exhibition in Lancaster, Har-
risburg and Williamsport last week.
but, owing to the rainy weather, were
only able to fill their date in the first
named place. Even there-though
billed for Monday night-they were
unable to show until Thursday on ac-
count of the rain. The enthusiasm was
so great that they were persuaded to
give another night there, but rain on
Friday compelled them to postpone it
until Saturday. This left four untitled
dates for last week and readily ex-
plains lTe HeCeSSlly cI poSlpOHlllS lne
spectacle here.
When Pain gave the Fall of Pom
peii" here, several years ago, there was
only two or three clear nights out of
two weeks. 1t is very evident that
Pain, great creator of fireworks that
he is. has not yet been able to manu-
facture waterproof materials so that
he can defy the weather.
The management announces that
they will inform the public definitely
within the next few days just when
the displays will take place here. Pur-
chasers of seats in advance can either
retain the tickets purchased, which will
be honored when the exhibition takes
place, or they can call at Powelrs
music store and have their money re-
turned.

the borough OF Oiyphant, the rule for
a new trial sought by the plaintiff is
denied by Judge Archibald. Jodrey
sued for work done for the borough on
its electric light plant. The borough
resisted payment on the ground that
the work was not properly authorized.
Two of the borough courcil, II appears,
set him To- work when II required the
action Of the light and water commit
tee to do this. Consequently Jodrey
did the work for nothing.
In tho case of Gorton s. Chase and
others against M. o. Webster. the rule
10 open judgment was discharged in a
lengthy opinion by Judge Archibald.
TIE defendant bought a 14o-acre farm
in La Plume in 1894 from the heirs of
Nathan X. Chase, paying one-half of
the $4,000 purchase money down and
giving bond and mortgage to pay the
other half in nine equal annual INSTALL
ments. He resisted payment of the
very first of the partial payments on
the ground that he had not been given
clear title to all the land, alleging
that the heirs of George Clymer were
claimants of half the land ard were
liable TO come upon him for their share
at any time.
1t is not shown for certain, or even
to the extent of probability that the
Clymcr heirs have a claim or If they
have that they will prosecute 1t, and
court in consequence declines to inter-
fere with the operation of the judg-
ment upon which the plaintiffs seek to
enforce the payment Of the balance
due.

BILL WAS NOT QUASHED.
Judges Edwards and Gunster Over
rule Motion to Kill Mr.. kel-
ley's Bill of Particulars.

The respondents bill of particulars
in the LangstaffKelley contest stands.
A motion to have it quashed was ar
gued at length before court yesterday
morning and from the expressions from
the bench it was expected that the
motion would prevail. Much to the
surprise of Mr.. Holgate and Mr.. Ham
ilton. however Judge Edwards. at the
opening of the afternoon session, hand
ed down an order denying the motion
to quash. Judge Gunster concurred but
Judge Archibald dissented.
When the matter was called up Mr..
Holgate, representing Contestant Lang
staff, moved to quash the bill on the
ground that it was not filed within the
time prescribed by court and because
it was farcical bill of generaltes in
stead of bill of particulars.
1t alleged, Mr.. Holpate pointed out.
that 1900 voters of this county voted
under age. among those so accused be-
ing the president judge of the county,
the congressman of this district, the
general manager of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroa d
company, the president of select coun-
ell, and hundreds like them, whom,
Mr.. Kelley, from his business expert
ences, must have known We're twenty
one years of age. He certainly knew,
as a county official that the president
judge of this county was over twenty
one" Mr.. Holgate remarked. amid
much laughter, and when he swore
that, in his belief, the opposite was
the case. he did not make affidavit in
good faith and his bill consequently is
defective"
JUDGE ARCHIBALD AGREED.
Judge Archibald agreed with Mr..
Holgate that the bill was nothing more
or less than big farce; being full of
the defects for which the contestant 8
first bill was quashed.
Mr.. Mcdonald couldn't see it that
way. AS he understood it the Lang
staff bill was quashed solely on the
ground that it alleged more defective
votes in some districts than the whole
number of votes cast for the respond
ent.
Referring to The Tribune's dissec-
tion of the bill at the time it was filed,
Judge Edwards remarked that from a
glance at the hundred or more names
of the city's best men who were
charged with having voted illegally, by
voting under age or voting without
naturalization papers, there was no
question in his mind that there was
gross negligence in the compiling of
the bill.
Mr.. Newcomb at this juncture took
hand in the discussion, arguing that
these very exceptions had been taken to
the contestants bill, but the only one
sustained was that alleging that more
voters were attacked than votes were
cast. That was the only limitation put
upon the contestants bill and that was
the only limitation the respondents be-
lieved they had to observe.
Judge Gunster did not enter into the
discussion.
