Carbondale Sewer Case.

The answer Of the defendant in the
case Of the City of Carbondale against
a. B. Nicol was filed yesterday by At
torney Charles L. Hawley.
The city is endeavoring to enforce a
S6l.SS lien on the defendants property
for a sewer assessment for the Nicol
alley sewer.
The defendant opposes it on the
grounds that the assessment was not
made according to the foot front rule.
as 1t purports to have been made. the
assessment having been computed by
the depth of the lot rather than its
frontage; also because the alley is pri-
vate property, and instead of the sewer
being a benefit to the property is a
detriment because of the nuisance Gre
ated by its emptying into the river at
a point closely adjacent to the defend
ants property.
1t is likewise contended that the
claim of the city is barred by the stat
ute of limitation.

AGREE TO A CASE STATED
Controller Howell's Claim for Com
pensation from the School Board
Is to Be Taken to Court.

The finance committee of the board
of control met last night and discussed
the controversy over City Controller
Howelrs claim for compensation from
the school district for supervising its
warrants.
Solicitor d. T. Rnedy reported that
City Solicitor A. A. Noshurg, who was
supporting Controller Howelps claim
had areed to submit the matter to court
in the form of a Case-stated and recon-
mended that the board give this means
of settling the dispute its sanction. The
committee decided to submit Solicitor
ReedN's recommendation to the board
1t is generally believed that this plan
if carried out will result in a decision
to the effect that the board is not re-
Quired to submit its warrants for the
city controllers countcrsiGnature, as
the law of 1874 under which this is be-
ing done at present has been declared
unconstitutional and no other law as
far as can be learned makes any such
provision.

The suspension of the state counciFs
charter by the national councillor VIII
not affect the subordinate councils in
any way at present. The national or
ganization is bound under the rules
of the order to take action in the mat
ter within thirty days, but before the
expiration of that time it is thought
that a special session of the council
will be held to order the per capita
tax paid under protest.
It is not generally known, but 1t Is
fact, that If such hasty action had
not been taken by the national officers
everything would have been satisfac-
torily arranged without any trouble.
One of the delegates had u resolution
in his pocket TO offer which rccommon-
ded the payment of the per capita tax
under protest, and It was the intention
of the antis to defeat the committees
recommendation as they did, but not to
abandon it entirely.
Many of the delegates are of the op-
inion that the charge Of insubordina-
ton was premature and that when the
matter is presented to the national
judiciary in the proper light. the deCi-
sion is bound to be in favor of the state
council.
The charges were not specified, and
unless the national officers can show
good cause for their action they will
not be sustained in suspending the
charter before the convention had fin
ally adjourned.
The antis aver that the state council
officers are in league with the national
officers. and that the charges were
contemplated long before the conven-
tion assembled in view of the disrup-
tion which was imminent at the begin
ming of the sessions.
After the crisis came, they organized
by eecting Past National Councillor
Badger, of Philadelphia as chairman,
and Past State Councillor Keer. of
Pittsburg as secretary. Attorneys Pike
Of Philadelphia and Teufer of Beaver
county, who were delegates, were ap-
pointed to defend the interests of the
anti-faction.
State Councillor Bowers says the
charges of INSTRUMENTATION have been
formally preferred and will be consid-
cred by the national judiciary. The
state council will be summoned to make
it's defense. After the trial. if a con-
viction is found, the charter will be re-
vcked.
The state board of officers will ad-
dress a communication to the subordin-
ate councils calling on them to assert
their allegiance and loyalty to the' SUI
preme body and requesting them to
send representatives to a special meet
ing. at which time and place the ana
tional council will be requested by pc
tition to restore the charter to the
councils declaring their allegiance and
willingness to obey the supreme laws.
The outcome of the suspension will
be watched with much interest all
over the United States, owing to the
large representation of individual men,
bers in the state of Pennsylvania.
The state council is an incorporated
body and can operate under the title
of the Jr. o. u. A. NJ. without consult
ing the national council the antis
declare, and as the Pennsylvania mem
bership comprises nearly two-thirds of
the whole national body, it is q. ques-
ton in their minds whether it Is not
advisable TO remain independent.

Colored Veteran Sues.

jackson Merryweather the colored
barber, and civil war veteran OF this
city has begun a suit for damages OF
$1,000, against the Lehigh Valley rail-
road company.
Mr. Merryweather was one Of the
many veterans of this valley who at
tended the recent encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Phil
adelphia He alleges that when re-
turning from the encampment he got
aboard the noted Black Diamond
train of the Lehieh Valley company at
Bethlehem. The conductor refused to
accept his ticket, he alleges. and as
consequence he was obliged to re-
main all night at the depot which re-
suited in his contracting n severe cold
from which he yet suffers.
Upon his return to the city he went
to the Delaware and Hudson station
and learned from the ticket agent who
sold him the ticket that It was an nn-
limited one, and that the I4ehigh Valley
conductor erred in not recognizing it.
Attorneys Vosburg and Dawson are
Mr. Merryweater's attorneys.
Among the allegations contained ain

the effect that the ejectment was
prompted by the fact that the plaintiff
is negro,

Carbondale, too. has q poor board
sduabble.
May 5, Of this year, the Legislature
passed an act reorganizing the Carbon
dale poor district. 1t provides among
other things for six directors, one from
each ward, instead of the four direc-
tors elected from the old districts.
The three directors from the second,
third and fourth wards held over and
the judges OF the quarter sessions court
were directed to appoint three new
members from the First Fifth and
sixth wards to hold office until the
first Monday in April. 1900. Elections
are prescribed in the interim to supply
vacancies as they occur in the various
wards.
A. w. Daley, of the First ward;
Henry Carter, of the Fifth ward and
Edward Robbins, Of the Sixth ward
were appointed by the Judges. Through
misunderstanding the Judges were
sitting in common pleas when they
made these appointments on May IL,
last. The error was discovered and
yesterday court convened itself in
quar,er sessions and rcvOking the form
er appointments issued n new order.
Messrs. Daley and Carter were reap
pointed from the First and Fifth wards
respectively. but in the Sixth ward
Milo Gardner was substituted for Mr..
Robbins.
The cause of the substitution was Mr.
Robbins refusal to accept of the ap-
pointment.
Last spring he was elected for four
year term as poor director from the
district embracing the First. Fifth and
Sixth wards. and ignoring the ap-
pointment under the now act, contin-
ucd to attend the board meetings under
authority of his election certificate
This being brought to the attention Of

ard Mr.. Gardner substituted as the
member from the Sixth.
