AND THEN YOU ARE NOT SURE OF GETTING
WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

All Americans who have reason TO travel
along the Riviera and from there up to Paris
are especially impressed with the shortcomings
Of foreign railroad management For several
winter months the trains running from east
and west TO Monte Carlo are so crowded that
though one has paid for his seat in a first class
carriage he has frequently to stand or to SIT
with ten or twelve in a compartment with places
for only eight. For short journeys the prices
are not unreasonable If the company provided
adequate accommodations, but when a long dis
lance is in question then the charges would APP

Two women with their maids decided 10 go

women that, though their tickets called for

Washington real estate 10 considered OF
greater comparative value than that of any
state in the Union, as evidenced at the re
cent sale OF the assets OF the American
Saving. & Loan Association in Minneapo-
lis. THIS institution was one OF the most
extensive loan companies in the United
States. and during Its years of existence
became possessed OF great quantities Of
real estate In every state and nearly al
territories. There was much property
owned In Washington. The company went
into the hands OF receiver couple OF
years ago. ana after long investigation and
appraisement the assets went under the
hammer the latter part of April.
Attorney Freeman r. Lane, Of Minneapo-
lis. who Was council for the company up
TO two years ago, is in the city on a short
visit 10 an old friend. Major d. c. STAN,
manager OF the real estate operating de-
parsment of the J. A. Moore Investment
Company. and says that the property in
this state that Was sold brought higher
comparative price than any In the list.
Some of 1t. mostly In Seattle. actually
brought more than the appraised value.
and there was not q piece that went for
less than 80 per cent. Of the set up price.
The only other localities that exhibited this
condition were q town in Arkansas, one IN
Texas. and Butte, Mont, and only single
parcels In those cases. The hishext price
paid in California was 20 per cent. Of the
appraised worth. The property in all
brought $l2S go. representing leA than q
third of the appraised value.
Mr.. Lane has been much OF q traveller
and 10 well acquainted with all the leading
cities in the United States. making his
opinion Of city OF more than usual weight.
He says that Of all the places Of the same
size In the country Seattle has the APP
pearance of greatest me,ropolitanism. 1T

AN INGENIOUS PATENT.
Devised by Charles Sulzbacher, of
Wilkes-Barre.

An ingenious patent held by Charles
Sul2bacher, of Wilkes Barre, has re-
Gently been brought to the attention of
a number of Scranton business men.
1t is an appliance to keep flies out of
the cream pitcher.
The patentee, Mr.. Sulzbacher, for
many years resided at a hotel and, in
the summer time, had daily object les
sons in the natatorial proclivities Of
the common house fly. One day after
an unusually heavy run of flies he
vowed he would dedicate his remaining
days to solving the problem of abating
this nuisance. Success came to him
through the United States patent office
on Jan II
Mr.. Sulzbacher's device consists of
an ordinary cream or syrup pitcher
with special lid sliding horizontally
on pivot. In front of this lid, in the
spout, is a vertical wedge of glass or
metal filled with small holes through
which the fluid in the pitcher may be
poured. When the lid is properly ad-
justed not a fly can get in.
1t is the patentees intention to begin
at once the manufacture of these fly
less pichers and he has no doubt that
they will fill long felt want.

CLOSING UP KELLY CASE.
Evidence for the Defense Is Now
All Witnesses Who
Were Heard Yesterday by
the Commissioner.

The defense in Kelly impeachment
proceedings concluded it's presentation
of testimony yesterday. The prosecu-
ton will come in later with some re-
buttal testimony and then the case will
be submitted to the secretary of the
commonwealth, to be referred by him
to the state legislature, which will take
action upon it through its judiciary
committees
Yesterdays testimony was along the
same line as that adduced at the pre-
Vious sessions. John Kelly, Sr., faith
er of the accused alderman, testified
that Andrew Paucusin, one of the star
witnesses of the prosecution, waited
upon him before the investigation and
offered to testify for the defense If he
got So.
Bearing on the case of the common
wealth against Kate Lewis, in which it
was alleged the alderman charged for
swearing witnesses when no hearing
whatever was held, Jeffrey Powers,
who conducts a barber shop in the
Kelly building and Special officers Pat
rick Morris and p +. Ryan, attaches
of Alderman Kelly's court, ewore that

One of the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion gave her employment as house
keeper and angrily resented an imputa-
ton dealing with her reputation. Desk
Sergeant Reese &. Jones was put on
the stand to attack her credibility and
in answer to Mr.. Baylor's questions
stated that the woman in question was
not considered by the police to be q
real lady.
The defense has made answer tc
about everything excepting the charge
that fines collected for violation of city
ordinances We're not turned over to the
city. The alderman admits pocketinl
these, and says it has been the custom
of aldermen to do this ever since the
city was organized. He will defend hi.
action in this regard by taking the pos
ition that there is a question in th,
law in the case as to whether or no
aldermen are supposed to give ovel
these fines and that he was simply Civ

sents the prosecution, says he will con

THE SAME GANG.
COMPANY TO QUARRY STONE
Number of Scranton Men Are Inter-
ested in 1t.

Announcement is made Of the inten-
tion of several prominent citizens of
this city to apply to the governor Of
this commonwealth for q charter for
the Pennsylvania Quarry company. The
application will be made Tuesday Feb.
2l, by Attorney 4. d. Dean, as soliC-
itor, and the individuals interested are
August Robinson, d. B. Hand, John
w. Baylor G. p. Davidson and l.. l..
Major. 1t is expected that the new
company will capitalize at 100000.
Though the men interested are from
this city the city will not receive any
direct benefit from the work upon
which the new company is about TO
enter. AS the company's title indicates
quarrying will be done ana the field
of operations lies just below White
Haven, in Luzerne county. For some
times Messrs. Robinson. Hand and
Baylor have been operating a valuable
stone quarry at that place, but only
a private firm, the three men being
partners. The business having in
creased sufficiently those interested
felt warranted in taking steps to wid-
en- their scope and seek a larger mar
ket.
Thus 1t comes about that a company
was proposed and Messrs. Davidson
and Major were interested. AS soon as
the charter is granted the company will
organize, elect officers and issue stock
to the extent Of the capitalization.
The quarry 10 be controlled by the
new company is part of a 300-acre track
and contains a very fine, hard, red
sandstone. 1t is easily adaptable to
the building of bridge piers, abutments,
large stone buildings, etc. The quarry
is reached by a branch from the main
line of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, and this gives a very direct
connection both with the seaboard and
the main cities inland. Several large
contracts are already under consider
alton, and Immediately after the char
terng Of the company increased facili-
ties for a larger output will be placed
and operations continued .

OLD FAMILIES AT WAR.
Church Estate Sues Winton Estate
for Valuable Property Located
in the Twenty-First Ward
Of the City Scranton.

An equity suit was yesterday instl-
tuted by Attorney S. b. Price to re-
cover from Charles j. Church, admin
istrator of the estate of Joseph Church,
deceased, q one-fourth interest in what
is commonly known as the +. c. Griffin
plot. q tract of land fifty acres in ex-
tent, lying in the vicinity Of Trips
crossing in the Twenty-flrst ward. The
suit is directed against the Winton es-
tate.
The plaintiff sets forth in his paper
book that Joseph Church, William w.
Winton, Isaac Dean and Thomas Livey,
purchased the land in the early '70s,
each paying one-fourth of the money
put down, with the understanding that
they were to share equally in the earn
ing of the property. The land was
given to w. w. Winton in trust and
was managed by him until his death
in 1894, and then by his wife, Gather
Inc Winton, until her death year ago.
The moneys earned by the land were
to be applied to paying off certain in
debtedness standing against it, and
when these debts were wiped out the
Joint owners We're to begin to share
in the profits.
The plaintiff AYERS that he has fro
quently applied to the present eXecu-
tors of the estate for an accounting of
the trust, but has been unable to even
secure from them an acknowledgment
that they held anything in trust for
the Church eetate. In contradiction of
this. the plaintiff recites that in 1897
the defendants refused to pay taxes on
more than three-fourths Of the prop
erty and referred the collector to the
Church estate for the remaining one
fourth. The plaintiff paid the taxes.
In his petition he asks court to order
| an accounting and direct that a trustee
be appointed to take care of the in
terests of the Church estate. He also
asks that the Winton estate be en-.
| Joined from collecting certain coal roy.
alties from the Delaware, Lackawanna
| and Western company, which company
is now Withholding at his demand.
