A LETTER FROM JUDGE REID.
A Historical Reply to the Ronald
Interview.

Interview.
Everett Dec. q. 1873.
To the Editor: / have just read the In
terview between your reporter and ). i.
Ronald, and now know what l had pre-
yiousiy suspected. that he is the man who
has malciously set On foot the dastardly
attempt TO injure my good name. l have
positive information from his coadJutor In
the prosecution OF Connella, my friend Mr.
Mayor, that when the court ruled against
him as TO the form of the question that
should be put to the witness called to i'm
peach the testimony Of the witness Grant,
instead Of bowling, as every honorable at
torney and gentleman would have done. to
the ruling Of the court, he industrtously
busted himself out OF court In attempting
to Great a false impression Of what oc-
Cured In court. And he did succeed in IN
ducing ynur reporter knowingly 10 mis-
state and suppress the material facts OF
the incident that occurred. Every man in
that court room at the time knows that
the statement in your paper was sup
presto veri: and Mr.. Ronald's associate
counsel and myself and others know that
that suppression WIS obtained by him. His
amour propre, his blatant egotsn, was
offended, and malice entered his heart
and he has gratified II at the loss Of his
honor.

Of the testimony and the charge was entire

intended by you or not you have done what
you could to strike down a conscientious
and fearless discharge OF a grave duty. and
to fan into flame the spirit Of the mob.
So be it. Let God judge between us.

Judge Rsids statement that suppress

not correct. AT that time the Post-Intei-

collision had occurred between the cnurt
and Mr. Ronald. the reporter approached
an impartial witness OF the scene Ian Of

and verified Ii by asking Mr.. Ronald so-
the prosecution, and Mr.. Dore for the de-
Tense. IL Ii was correct. Mr.. Ronald made
an earnest plea 70 have no mention what

THE CAT SHELTER.
Place Where Stray Tables Are
Kent and Protected.

Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune.
One of the most tlouishing institu-
tions in Washington is the "cat shell
ter" which is being run as a branch
of the Humane society There are now
about seventy-five tabbies of varying
degrees of personal beauty and
strength of character being cared for
at the shelter which contains large
grounds surrounded with wire netting
to force the cats to stay where they
are we'll treated. The object of the
shelter is to rid the city of homeless
and diseased cats without killing them,
and several charitable women are de-
voting much time to the curious insti-
tuition. The society sends for the ami
mails on being requested to do so by
telephone or postal card, and when
once in the shelter there is nothing to
good for the waits of the alleys and
back fences. They have bread and
milk for breakfast, meat for dinner.
and fish for supper. There are depart
ments in the shelter in which are segre-
gated the handsome and healthy cats,
then the kittens, third the invalids,
and finally the boarders. This last
class is rapidly increasing, for the So
ciety takes care of cats for rs cents

tion on the ordinances by a motion
that they all be referred back to com
mittee for further investigation, but
the motion was lost.
Among the new resolutions intro
duced were the following: Mr.. Chit
tenden-Dlrecting the hauling OF
manure from the fire department
houses to the city's parks by fire de-
partment horses; Mr.. Wagner-direct-
ing the city engineer to establish a
grade on Union street, from Ash street
to the land of the Lackawanna Iron
and Coal company; Mr.. McAndrew-
directing the repair of Franklin Engine
company at a cost not to exceed $500.
The latter measure was adopted with
out debate.
A resolution was introduced by Mr..
Fellows, directing the city engineer to
prepare an estimate of cost for relay
ing and repairing such old sewers as
are not large or perfect enough for
proper drainage.
An ordinance creating the office of
plumbing inspector was introduced by
Mr.. Manley.

APPLICATION NOT VOID
Judge Archibald Hands Down an I'm.
portant Opinion In the Matter Of the
Incorporation Of Moosic Borough.

Judge Archibald gave new interpre-
tation to another law, yesterday. This
time it is the Act of June 26. 1895, p. L.,
3S9, that our president judge declines
to read as some of his brother jurists
have read it,
The act stripped of its legal verbiage
says that when application is made for
the creation of a borough the same
shall be disposed at the term of court
following the fling of the application.
The question was brought up locally
in the case of the proposed borough
of Moosic. Application for the crea-
tion Of the borough was made April
II, 1897. owing to the judges being
busy and other various like causes, the
hearings on the matter were regularly
continued from time to time, until
finally last December the matter came
up in argument court, and the object
ors made the claim that the appliCa-
tiOn for the new borough was vOided
by reason of it's not having been heard
at the first term of court succeeding
it's presentation.
The court listened to arguments on
this and other exceptions, but declined
to listen to the merits of the appli-
cation until the matter of jurisdiction
was disposed of.
Yesterday Judge Archibald disposed
| of this question of jurisdiction by re-
| fusing to dismiss the petition and or
| dering that the case come up on it's
merits for final disposition at the next
| term of argument court.
Notwithstanding previous interpreta-
| tions to the contrary, Judge Archibald
| says he can not bring himself to hold
| that the legislature intended a court
| should lay aside all other business, no
| matter how important it might be, to
| listen to and dispose of applications
| for the creation of boroughs. AS long
as the case is regularly continued from
| term to term it is not voided by the
act in question.
Three of the other exceptions were
| also overruled. The first contended
| that all the petitioners were not free
holders, as the petition averred; the
second was to the effect that Mill Creek
| and the Lackawanna river are not
definite and stable boundaries as re-
! quired by law, and the third contend
ed that the descriptions of the villages
to be comprised in the proposed bor-
| ough are vague and indefinite.
| Other exceptions which enter into the
| merits of the case will be disposed of
when the final hearing has taken place.

JOB FOR THE FOOL.KILLER.
Turned in a Fire Alarm to Break Ul
FTRnklin's Bail.

At 11.55 o'clock last night an alarm
of fire was turned in from box 35, cor
ner of Main avenue and Jackson street.
The box was pulled by an ex-fireman,
who was carried away with the idea
that it would be a good joke to break
up the Franklin Engine companys
ball, which was in progress in Mears'
hall, only half block away.
He broke the glass case which pro-
tects the key and sent in the alarm,
with half a dozen persons standing
nearby. They informed Lieutenant
Williams and the perpetrator of the
fool trick will be arrested today.
The ball was interrupted for about
half an hour by the excitement.
