VARIOUS COURT MATTERS.

1t required only half an hour for a
jury to find verdict for the defendant
in the case of Farrar & Trefts against
William NJ. Sllkman. The case was sub
mitted at IL O'clock Saturday morning
by Judge Gunster, after having been on
trial since Thursday afternoon. The
suit was to recover for some machinery
sold to an oil company in which Mr.
Silkman had stock One of the active
members of the firm, A. Mandel, of
Wheeling, w. Va, was the principal wit
ness for the plaintiff. The claim of the
defendant was that Mandel and the 9TH
ers who had roped Mr. "'lkman into the
oil well scheme, were now trying to
make him shoulder it's debts alone. The
jury evidently took this view of the mat
ter Major Everett Warren and Hon. C.
=. O'Malley, of Willard, Warren q
Knapp, represented Mr.. Silkman. Car
penter & Fleitz were the plaintiffs at
torney.
The Superior court will begin its Sec
ond weeks session at II o'clock The
judges were in consultation Friday af-
ternoon and Saturday, and 1t is expected
they will hand down a number of opin-
ions today. AS there are only seven ap-
peals remaining to be heard, II is quite
likely that the business of the session will
be concluded by tomorrow.
In the case of Bridget Mcdonald
against Joseph and Mary MCNAMARA,
the jury returned verdict for the plain
tiff. II was an interpleader case to re-
cover goods which were levied upon by
the defendants as the property Of Mrs.
McDonald's husband.
The second week of common pleas
court, which begins this morning, will
have Judge Archibald, Judge Gunster and
Judge Love, of Center county, presiding.

A GIRL WAS MT," THAT'S ALL.
Story of the TAYLOR Outrage from
Another Standpoint.

In relation to the article describing
an alleged outrage at wedding in
Taylor, where a crowd of drunken rev.
ellers attempted to denude a young
girl, q statement has been received
from Anthony Zubach, in whose house
the affair occurred. in which he sets
forth under oath that the carryings-
on which Constable Tierney mistooll
for an outrage We're nothing more OF
less than a common parlor game.
commonly INDUCED in at Polish
weddings. This game is some
thing like this: The ladies re-
tire and one of their number wrapping
herself tightly in a big sheet returns
to where the gentlemen are congregat-
ed. The one who first succeeds in dis
covering the identity of the masquer-
ader is the hero of the evening. The
gentlemen also take a turn at the mas
querading and the ladies then strive
with each other for the honor of dis
covering who is in the winding sheet.
Instead of being in the act OF un-
dressing a giIl, as Constable Tierney
supposed, the gentlemen guests of the
wedding were simply trying TO unwind
a sheet from the person of a young
lady who was 'it'' at the time.
All of the above Mr.. Zubach swore to
in the presence of Justice of the Peace
William Z. GriffithS, of Taylor.

HEATING AND YENTILATING CONTRACT
II Has Been Awarded to the Hunt &
COnneli Company.

The Colliery Engineer company has
awarded the contract for heating and
ventilating their new office building to
the Hunt & Connell company.
The system as planned is very COM
plete. 1t is what is known as the
"Plenum" and is designed in every de-
tall to show the highest art of the
trade. There will be large steel plate,
tfree-quarter housing fan for driving
the air through underground brick
ducts to the base of the vertical flues
leading TO the several floors. This
manner cf conveying the air through
underground ducts is considered by eX-
pert engineers far superior to the old
method of overhead ducts, as it leaves
urobstructed head-room in basement
and reduces the friction and loss of
heat to a minimum.
The fan will be driven by an electric
motor and will be adjusted to such
speed as to deliver and change both
not or tempered a'r to the several rooms
three to four times per hour. The sys-
tenn is practically the same as that in
the High school building and also in
Nos. Is and 2S school buildings.

GOT A PLACE TO SLEEP.
Engineer Dewitt Had n Very Un-
pleasant Experience.

The Job of night engineer at work.
ing electric plant is awfully lonesome.
The engineer either gets deaf from the
noise OF the whirling wheels and buzz
2ing dynamos or stands it at the eX-
pense Of a change in the color Of his
hair. Imagine Philip Dewitt,the engineer
at the Scranton Electric Light COM
pany's power house in the unpopulated
region below the gas house, sitting in his
chair at o'clock yesterday morning
when through the door staggers a
hairy face, bad looking man. Engineer
Dewitt partly arose. "Well, what do
you want?" he asked of the intruder.
"Nawthin, only I'm goin' to sleep
here"
"You are, EN-! what makes you think
So"
ooh, nawthin," said the fellow, at
tempting to sit on a chair; Only
don't see what's golns to stop me-"
you don't believe that anyone will
have to help you OUT suggested the
engineer mildly.
well, Id like to see it tried" said
the other defiantly.
Engineer Dewitt arose from his chair.
AS he made the move the hairy-faced
fellow made for him. landing a blow
With his fist Oh the engineers face.
The engineer retaliated knocking the
fellow to the floor. Then he dragged
him through the door ana dropped him
at the bottom of the cteps.
Engineer Dewitt, saying well done"
TO himself, resumed mis- chair. A min
ute or so passed and the stranger
again came through the door. This
time he was crazed. He staggered to-
ward the engineer. He stumbled, fell
and his head Just grazed one of the
huge revolving wheels. The engineer
was upon him in an instant. Drag
ging the fellow to the middle of the
floor Dewitt pressed the fingers of one
hand in his throat while with the 9TH
er he opened the drawer of a desk and
took out a strong rope. With this he
tied the fellows hands and legs and
in turn tied the two ends of the rope
TO ring in The side uf the building.
Then he went to the telephone and
sent word to police headquarters. Pa
trolmen Hawks and Palmer responded
and succeeded in landing the man in
a cell. Yesterday he had not recovered
sufficiently for a hearing and could not
give his name or address.

Il BEFORE BREAKFAST. Il

Tramps are infesting the Hill to the
great annoyance and frequent alarm Of
the housewives. They seem to travel
in pairs, and when one appears at the
back door another rings the bell at the
front. They want food, clothing and
often demand money.
General Manager Siliman, of the
Street Railway company, did a most
graceful thing on Saturday, when he
sent q special car to the door of the
Home for the Friendless, which con-
veyed to the Lyceum all the old ladies
and children who were able 10 go to
see Uncle Toms Cabin" returning
them in the same way. 1t was a very
disagreeable day, and otherwise the
family would have been deprived of
the treat afforded by the Lyceum man
agement. The managers are exceed
ingly grateful for this courtesy so gen.
erous1y given.
The end of the "Art Course" in
which so many fair Scrantonians are
interested, is not yet. AS has been
noted in these columns on previous
occasions, several who Were caught
have expressed their intentions to the
effect that they do not propose to fin
ish paying for the course which was
SO misrepresented. A number had al
ready advanced sums ranging from
one TO six dollars, and had felt that it
was preferable to lose these amounts
rather than to add the remainder of
the twelve dollars alleged to be the
price of the book left in lieu of the
pictures and lectures. A prominent
social leader in the city has recently
received a most impertinent letter
from the American Art League"
which by the way seems like the
ghost in the poem to Have no dwell
ing more on sea or shore" but only In
postoffice box in New York; a fact
rather suspicious in itself, as it would
be difficult for a delegation OF angry
victims of a bunco scheme to descend
and wreak dire vengeance on mythical
individual or league whose only
known abode is a postoffice number
The letter mentioned is evidently writ
ten by woman whose education in
English has been neglected, however
"up in art" she may be. With much
underscored sentiment 1t contains the
information that the complainant's
signature was supposed by the
League" TO be revered by it's owner
as would be her honor. etc, and that
the remainder OF the $12 must be
forwarded by return mail or radical
measures would be taken to collect it,"
1t has been discovered that promoters
of this enterprise are now working AL
lentown.

The Dickson Manufacturing COM
pany has offered for sale it's valuable
site and shops in Wilkes-Ba The
value of the land and buildings is about
s175,OOO.
One of the first lines Of policy adopt
ed by G. II. Zehnder after he was made
president was to concentrate the COM
panys departments and shops which
in this city and Wilkes-Barre were
thought to be scattered over too great
territory. The plan to dispose Of the
WillSes-Barre establishment is a con-
tinuation of this policy. 1t was urged
to the board of directors by President
Zehnder before he left for Europe two
weeks ago and was approved by the
board and referred to it's real estate
committee. The privilege of sale was
given to w. ]. Raeder, the Wilkes
Barre real estate man.
The Wilkes-Barre property is on
Washington, Fell and Canal streets
north of the Lehigh Valley depot and
nearly in the heart of the business sec
ton of the, city. 1t comprises about
thirty lots, the plot containing a ma
chine shop, foundry, blacksmith shop,
pattern shop, storehouse, stable and
dwelling. 1t is not known what total
value the company has placed on the
property. exclusive of machinery, but
it is thought to be not far from $175,-
900.
TO SELL THE PROPERTY.
The real estate agent has been in
structed to sell any part of the land
whether it contains buildings or not,
at figures furnished by the company's
real estate committee, or to sell the
whole property to one purchaser, the
sale to be made by the company if the
machinery is purchased.
Aside from President Zehnder's plan
Of concentration, the sale has been
suggested because of the fact that the
shops contain machinery and equip
ment of too great value and complete
| ness to be used for manufacturing the
ordinary kind of product which has
been made therein. The plant was
| originally designed to meet the wants
| of the Wyoming and Lehigh mine
| trade, but has developed to nearly as
| good comparative equipment as the
| Scranton shops. The latter are mucf
