CITY CAN'T BE BLAMED.
For an Error of Judgment on the
Part of an ofhcial.

The taking of testimony in the tres
pass suit of Patrick O'Connor against
the city of Scranton was begun yes
terday before Referee Robert ]. Ker-
nan in the city solicitors office. w.
w. Baylor and I. II. Burns appeared
for the plaintiff and City Solicitor Vos-
burg for the defense
Damages in the sum of $1,000 are
claimed for injury done the plaintiff $
property on Seventh street in the Eigh-
teenth ward by the overflow of n sewer
basin. The cellar walls were badly
damaged. the basement flooded and
the house made unhealthy to live in,
ii Is alleged.
The city will offer the defense that
the overflow was caused by reason of
the sewer pipe being too small to car
ry off the water and that the city in
consequence Is not liable, as fault lies
with an error of judgment on the part
of the city engineers.
The decision upon which the defense
rests was rendered by the supreme
court in the Fairlawn Coal company
case in which the conditions were
practically identical with those in the
case at bar.

BLAZE IN AN ASSAY OFFICE.
Correspondence School of Mines suf-
fers Loss to the Extent of $500.

The alarm of fire sounded from box
%. shortly after o'clock last evening
was due to a fire in The assay office
of the Correspondence School of Mines,
located at Centre street and Dix court
nue..
The blaze was first discovered by
Permanentman Thomas Campbell of
the Phoenix chemical company, who
resides in the building adjoining and
who was at supper at the time.
He rushed to his company's quarters,
and brought the chemical engine to
the scene. After fighting the flames
for time and failing to get them un-
der control, the alarm was sent IN.
With the assistance of the other CEN
trail fire companies the fire was soon
suhdued.
The cause of the fire was an over
heated furnace in the asay office. 1t
is always heated to 40, degrees, and
the building being an old frame struc-
ture, the timbers were very suscepti-
BILE. The damage done to the office and
its contents will amount to $500.
The building was not burned badly,
but was soaked with water. It Is a
one story structure.

THINKS THAT QUAY
IS UNDECIDED
GOVERNORS EXECUTIVE CLERK
TALKS ON THE CAMPAIGN.
Strong Forces That Are Backing
Congressman Connell in His Fight
to Secure Lackawanna Represen-
tation on the Supreme Bench-The
Fact That Brown Is Acceptable to
the Insurgents Is Pointed Out to
Be Reason Why Quay Should Not
Favor Him.

The following is portion Of an inter-
view with s. a. Bacharch, executive
clerk to Governor Stone, published in
the Allentown Daily Leader. 1t is in
teresting from the fact that II comes
from one so close to the. governor.
The state leaders are undecided
about the supreme court nomination
with Quay appearing to lean toward
Hay Brown of Lancaster, and the or
ganization leaders, Stone, Elkin, Dur
ham. Connell and the rest, in favor of
Archibald of Scranton or some other
equally good man. There isn't any
quarrel about it. though, and there
won't be. Quay. as the leader of the
organization, will eventually name the
man. Just at present the impression
has gone forth that he would name
Brown, if his most faithful lieuten-
ants and best friends didn't advise him
strongly against any such selection.
1t has resolved itself into a question
of good politics. and there isn't any
doubt that the final choice will be a
wise one.
"Whv does it take so long to come
to a decision?"
THINK HE WANTS BROWN.
Several of the papers have made
| 1t appear as If Quay, for many rea-
| sons, political and some perhaps per-
| sonal, thinks it best to nominate
| Brown. With Barnetts nomination
| almost an assured thing, Elkin, who is
| Barnett's close friend, gets what he
wants. Durham is satisfied from a
| political standpoint with his friend
| Adams pretty sure of being landed
| But. under this newspaper plan to
| nominate Brown. Connell. the most
| able and persistent lieutenant Quay
has ever had in the northeastern part
| of the state, is left out in the cold See
what Connell has done. For the past
four years he has spent his time and
money in bringing one northeastern
| county after another into the Quay
column. Therefore he asks and his
| friends asks with him, isn't Connel
entitled to Archbalds nomination, SC
he can go back and say, 'See It pays
to be an organization man. When we
want a good candidate nominated
| Quay is with us.
REGULARS AGAINST HIM.
Another reason why the regulars
are not in favor Of Brown is because
Magee and the Insurgents are too wei
satisfied with him. This makes the
regulars suspicious. They therefore
ask of Quay. why should the leaders
even consider a man under suspicion
when it is equally easy to nominate
a stalwart like Archbald?'
There you have the situation as II
really exists. But for the sake of ar
gument, let us assume that Quay fav.
ors Brown. Then what will the organ
izati0n gain? Lancaster county, as
for location. Is wrong for the supremt
iudgship. with another candidate. Ad
ans for superior court. I'm almost ar
adjoining county-leaving the entire
northeastern tier of counties without
representation on the state ticket, anC
at present with no representative on the
supreme bench"

preferred by Marion S. Kaun. He is
