REQUISITION REFUSED.
Attorney Nathan Vidaver Brings
Morris Eppstein Back from
Harrisburg a Free Man.

The state department AT Harrisburg
yesterday refused the requisition of
Governor Tanner, of Illinois, for the
eXtradition of Morris Eppstein, of this
city, wanted in Chicago to answer a
charge of larceny, preferred by Ed
ward Cohen, a wholesale dry goods
dealer
Eppstein was arrested two weeks ago
in this city on a telegram from Chief
Colleran. of the Chicago detective bu-
reau. Attorney Nathan Vidaver strOve
to have him released on habeas cor
pus proceedings, alleging that there
was nothing on which to hold him.
Judge Gunster continued the hearing
three times to give the police an oppor-
tunity of securing extradition papers
and was about to discharge the pris-
oner when word was received from
Harrisburg that the requisition had
been received and that a hearing on
it would be held Tuesday, Aug. 80
Thereupon Judge Gunster decided to
paroll Eppstein on bail to await the
action of the state authorities.
Yesterdays hearing was conducted
by Deputy Attorney General w. F.
Reeder. Sergeant Rowan, of the Chi
cago detective farce, who has been
despatched to secure Eppstein, pre-
sented depositions tending to show
that the accused had stolen from CO.
hens store two sample cases contain
ing silk underwear to the value of
$1fS.
Eppstein went on the stand and tes-
titled that he was in the habit of buy
ing goods from Cohen on credit and
bought the alleged stolen articles from
the forelady of the store. He took
them out and sold them and was about
to make settlement for them when he
received a telegram from his home, in
this city, announcing the serious i'll
ness of his mother.
He waited on Cohen, and telling him
that because of the necessity of his
returning at once to Scranton he could
only pay him 500 of the $50 due on the
bill of goods. Cohen refused to take
part payment and threatened Eppstein
with trouble if he did not settle i'm
full. Eppstein said he couldn't pay
more than 500 and when Cohen refused
it a second time left without paying
anything.
Detective Rowan. on cross eXamin-
alton, admitted that Cohen had told
him Eppstein was in the habit of buy
ing goods from him on credit, and this
coupled with the absence of any di-
rect evidence to deny that the fore
lady had sold the goods to Eppstein
led to the refusal of the reuusition
Word of Eppstein's release had pre-
ceded him, and when he arrived home
| last night he was met at the station
| by a large crowd of his friends who
expressed their joy at his release in a
a very demonstrative manner.

WILL FIGHT THE CLAIMS.
Lackawanna Township Taxpayers
Are UP in Arms.

Steps We're yesterday taken by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company, the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company and certain other
taxpayers of Lackawanna township to
contest the validity of great num-
ber of the claims tnat have been pre-
scented to Hon. John p. Quinnan, the
marshal appointed to ascertain and re-
port upon the indebtedness of the
township.
They allege that orders We're given
out fraudulently and propose to chal-
lcnge every claim reported favorably
by the marshal, and make the holders
prove that they were not secured
through fraud or collision.
1t is said there is an order afloat is
sued to a woman for work on the town
ship roads. It has not shown up as
yet at the marshals Office and it is
not likely that it will show up.
Marshal Quinnan will have set
ting again this morning at his office
in the Mears building.

cheaper than at home, but the reason
is simply that they are contented with
less. From necessity or without un-
happiness they dispense with many
things that in America they deem ia
disrensable either for bodily comfort
or to maintain social position. In New
York, Philadelphia or Boston they
must dwell III the aristocratic quarter;
in Paris or Berlin or Vienna it matters
not where they dwell, so long as the
surroundings are not squalid. In
Rome even that matters little. and
because it was once palace" a dir

There is no human law which
compels a man to grant a favor to
another, or to make a gift of either
money or work, unless be wishes to
do so. But If he does give to char
ity or an individual let it be grace
fully. How many members of the
church and charitable committees
will attest mournfullY to the fact
that there are some people whom
they dread to ask for money. They
will give it, of course, but 'grudg-
ingly and of necessity There are
Others, who, when asked to donate
something to help in a worthy en-
terprise respond certainly in a
way that makes the gift precious.
It is the spirit in which it is grant
ed that makes its acceptable to
God and man. The widow who
gave her mite must have done so
willingly, or the good Lord who
knows the heart would not have
commended her Ex.

Long to Be Remembered.
May 9, 1898,

April 30 will long be remembered
by many of Uass, Miller and Bowie
county citizens. On that day a
large number of people from the
three counties assembled at Line
Ferry, to enjoy a fish fry. When
dinner was announced the people
marched to the tables, headed by a
visiting string band after enjoying
a splendid dinner, consisting of fish
and game, the young people en-
gagged themselves in all kinds of
merriment, namely, fishing, dane
ing, boat riding and promenading,
meath the stately oaks. The older
people remember pleasant and eX-
citing recollections of earlier days.
All seemed loath TO leave-even when
old Sol warned them that he would
soon bid them farewell, they still
fingered. After many handshakes
and pleasant wishes, each wended
their way home, voting that this
day will always be kindly remem-
bered, and words of praise spoken
in favor of Mr.. Henry Whitney, Mr.
Brown and others, for this treat,
is enough to insure repetition of
this in the near future.

There is large significance in the
phrase, a good neighbor." 1t
means tact, generosity, thoughtful
ness, sympathy, interest. 1t im-
plies a nature having the social
quality coupled with the quality of
reserve. 1t speaks of an ear deaf
to those things which relate to the
family privacy and an eye open to
need. 1t signifies a tongue con-
trolled by prudence, a mind sug-
gestive of pleasant ways of help
fulness, a heart impelled to the
doing of little kindnesses.-[ Elk.

International Arbitration.

At the Geneva Conference to
arrange international disputes there
was strenuous advocacy on the part
of the United States and other
powers in favor of the settlement
of national differences as to bound
arises, port custom duties, &C., by
an international court and not by
the bloody arbitrament of war.
But like many subjects, reasonable
enough in their origin, it has died
out of mems minds. But there is a
theme of comment, and that IS the
incompatible fine effects of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters in cases of
dyspepsia. Nor does the world and
his wife comment less favorablY on
the excellent effects of the Bitters
in cases of chills and fever, rheuma-
tism, nervous and kidney complaints
and constipation.
