VAN WORMER APPOINTED.
Duties of Referee Appointed Tuesday
by Judge Burlington in Accord
ance with the Provisions
of Bankruptcy Act.

AS briefly announced in yesterdays
Tribune Attorney G. A. Van Wormer,
formerly of this city, now of Montrose,
has been appointed by Judge Buffing-
ton, of the United States district court,
as referee for this district under the
new bankruptcy bill The limits of the
district have not as yet been announc-
ed, but it is understood that Lacka-
wanna. Wyoming, Bradford, Susque-
hanna, Wayne, Pike and Monroe coun-
ties will comprise it.
The duties of the referee are sub
stantially the same as those of the
register under the old bankruptcy law,
but the Office is far from being as re-
munerative as it formerly was. Under
the old law the register received $50
fee for each case filed, in addition to
a fat commission. Under the new law
the referee receives only sic as fee
and that solely in cases of involuntary
bankruptcy. In cases of voluntary
bankruptcy he must be satisfied with
the commission-one-h of one per
cent. on such moneys as are to be paid
to creditors.
The appointment is for the term of
two years and the incumbent is pro-
scribed from holding any other office
of profit or emolument under the Uni
ted States government.
The duties of the referee are to con-
slider ell petitions referred to him by
the clerk of the United States court
with whom, of course, all petitions
must be filed, and then after due con-
sideration adjudicate or dismiss them.
He has all the powers in the premises
that a judge would have, excepting
that of commitment.
He is to declare dividends and pay
them to the trustees; examine the es-
tate of the alleged bankrupt and make
a list of the creditors; furnish state
ment of the condition of estates in
process of administration before him,
as may be requested by the parties in
interest, and safely keep and transmit
to the clerk all records of the case
when it is concluded.
1t is likely that Mr.. Van Wormer
| will establish an office in the Federal
| building in this city, but this is not
| certain as he is not required to do so
and as the whole practice of the law is
still in its earliest experimental state.

Following is the opinion of Judge
Simonton, of Dauphin county, handed
down Tuesday, in the matter of the
objections filed Oct. 3, 1898, by Corne-
lius Smith to the certificate of nomi-
nation of the Republican convention os
I.ackawanna county, certifying the
nomination of Frederick w. Gunster
for the office of additional law judge
of the forty-nfth judicial district:
BY the court-The objections filed to the
above stated certificate of nomination
are: THAT prior to said nomination by
the said Republican convention, the said
Hon. Frederick w. Gunster received from
the Democratic convention in said county
and said judicial district a nomination for
the same office. which nomination has
been duly certified and filed of record;
and the name of a candidate cannot APP
pear twice on the ballot to be voted at
the ensuing election"
This objection is based upon the pro-
vision of the Act of June 10. 1898. p. j.,
i19. as amended by the Act of July 2,
1891 p. L. 223, purporting TO limit and
restrain the name of a candidate from
appearing more than once upon the Of
ticial ballot. the language of the Act
o,peCially relied upon being as follows:
pom the official ballots transmitted as
commonwealth and county commission
ers, and upon the ballots to be voted at
any election the name of any candidate
shall not appear more than once by GER
tficatc of nomination or more than once
by nomination papers"
We do not think that the question in
tended to he raised by these objections
can be decided in this proceeding. The
objections do not suggest any defect in
the certificate of nomination, nor does
the Act of 1897 forbid two or more NOM
nations of the same candidate to be
made.
Apart from this, however. we have al
ready decided in Commonwealth VS.. Mar
tin, Dist. Rep, 645 that the provision
OF the Act OF July Q, 1897, P. L., 223. QUOT
ed in these objections and relied upon is
incapable of execution for several rea-
| sons. Among others, II furnishes the sec
| retary of the commonwealth no rule to
| govern his choice among certificates of
nomination containing the same names,
thus compelling him to act arbitrarily or
| from mere caprice. Further, it could not
| be carried into effect because 1t conflicts
| with several fundamental commands of
| the ballot law. Unless these are to be re-
garded as repealed the provision in con-
| troVerSy could not be executed"
| For these reasons we decline to fix any
| time for the hearing of these objections
and dismiss the proceeding.

EXCURSION TO CAMP.
Affords Fine Opportunity to Visit
Members of the Thirteenth and
See an Entire Army Corps
in Camp.

From Camp Meade comes the news
that the soldier boys are preparing n
great ovation for the Scranton excur-
sionists who will visit the camp Satur-
day. 1t is the first excursion that has
gone to camp and hundreds are pre-
pared to take advantage of it.
Just at present Camp Meade is one
of the most interesting places in this
country. 1t contains upwards of twen-
ty-five thousand soldiers whose tents
are scattered over miles of territory.
Colonel II. NJ. Boies has written to
Colonel Coursen, of the Thirteenth reg
iment, asking him to request drivers to
have conveyances at Highspire station
to carry eXcursionists at as low a rate
as possible. However, the walk from
the station to the Thirteenth regi-
ment's camp will be through the camps
of the other regiments and cannot fail
to be very interesting. Excursionists
are requested to provide their own
dinner and lunch. since the regiment
cannot supply meals to visitors.
The eXcursonists will probably be at
the camp long enough to see dress par
ade, one of the most inspiring scenes
of camp life. The committee in charge
of the excursion consists of Colonel Fl.
NJ. Boies. Colonel f. II. Ripple. Colonel
F. l.. Hitchcock, Quartermaster f. NJ
Vanding and A. T. Bedford.
This trip to Camp Meade will afford
the friends of the Thirteenth regiment,
as well as the friends OF many other
soldiers from this region. an opportu-
nifty to see the troops just before they
leave for the South since it is expected
they will go about the 18th of October.
| 1t is also the only opportunity that has
| been afforded in this state to look upon
an entire army corps in encampment.
! 1t is well worth the time to see so
many soldiers and note the work that
must b. done to take care of them.
The profits of the excursion will be
used in behalf of the Thirteenth regi-
ment, purchasing, for the company
mess and the hospital, accessories
| which the government does not pro-
| vide. In this way the sick will have
delcacies they would not get in regular
hospital supplies. and company cooks
can get cooking utensils and mess ar
rangements that are not usually fur
nished.
The fare for the round trip is SO. A
lunch car will be attached to the train,
and if the required number of seats
are engaged ahead, one or more parlor
cars will be provided. These seats
may be secured at the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western ticket office.
In connection with the trip half-fare
tickets will he sold on the Delaware
and Hudson railroad from Carbondale
TO Scranton. 1t is expected special
train will be run on the Lackawanna
road from Montrose to accommodate
the friends of Company G, of that
place. The excursion train will leave
this city at : a. m. Saturday and on
the return trip will arrive in the city
about midnight

P. A. Philbin Will Hereafter Conduct
That Paper.

Mr.. Philbin is an energetic young
man who has had an extensive news
paper experience. Contributions from
his graceful pen have frequently ap-
peared in the columns of The Tribune.
Pcr several years he was one of its
most valued correspondents. Mr..
Philbin is a thoughtful student of
political and economic questions and
many articles on these questions from
his pen have appeared in the New
York sun.
Under his guidance the Citizen will
undoubtedly enter upon a career Of
great usefulness and influence. The
first number of the paper under his
direction will appear next Saturday

BACK FROM CAMP MEADE.
d. B. Atherton Will Make His Re-

-. p. Atherton, secretary of the Sol

terday afternoon from his visit TO
Camp Meade. where he went In refer
ence to securing the discharge of men,
bers of the Thirteenth regiment who
are the heads of families. The result
of his labors will be given in a report
to the Relief association this after
noon.
Mr.. Atherton has up to date received
about sixty applications for discharge
from the regiment. He said the Thir-
teenth has a nice camp site and with
the exception of those who are ur-
gently needed to provide for their fam
lilies at home the men seem to be
reasonably contented with their lot
and are looking forward with much
expectation TO their trip to Cuba.
