at the Leggetts, Creek, was defendant.
He is property owner in Section c
of the sewer district and is favorable
to the construction of a sewer. He al
lowed the use of his name to have the
status Of affairs legally determined
An action of assumpsit was brought
against him early in the day by the
city of Scranton for the benefit of Vim
cent O'Hara, the contractor. City

They Are Made Against the Editors
of the Scrnntonian.

Richard Little and Michael j. O'Toule,
editor and associate editor Of The
Scrantonan, We're arraigncd before Al
derman Kellow, of the Fourteenth
ward, yesterday afternoon, on o charge
of criminal libel, preferred by John
Kelly, eX-aldcrman of the Eighteenth
ward.
Attorneys Cornelius Smith and
Thomas L. Duffy appeared for the de-
fendants and w. w. Baylor represented
the complainant. The latter avcrred
that an article published in The Scran-
tonian June %, was detrimental to
his character and represented him as
maintaining a public nuisance in the
vicinity Of his property on Scranton
street between the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad and Sew
enth street.
Joseph Hamm, foreman OF The
Scrantonian composing room, Sanitary
officer Burke, Lieutenant of Police Will
liams and Patrolman Saul were sworn.

cause for action and placed the costs
on Kelly.

warrant issued for Little and OToole
on similar charge, and the editors
entered bail in the sum Of 800 each for
their appearance at o'clock next Fri

VISITED PRICE AND HowARTH.
Burglars Entered the Office of That
Firm Sunday Night.

Burglars entered the office Of Price
g. Howarths lumber yords on sun
day night and ransaCkcd two safes,
but secured only S5 in money, the
larger part of it being i'm old coins,
valuable more for their numismatlC
than for their intrinsic worth.
A bizarre feature of the affair was
that the safes We're both open and
were placarded with signs bearing the
legend: This safe is not locked"
The members Of the firm took this pre-
caution to prevent the safes from be-
ing blown open and injured, as there
is never anything of any value kept in
them. The men were evidently nov
ices at the business. for some Of the
smaller drawers inside were broken
open as if hammer had been used
where the professional safe-men could
have opened them without that trou.

to Detective Moir and If any of the
old coins are passed the amateur bur
glars may soon be languishing behinC

1t is definitely understood that the
strike situation will be thoroughly dis
cussed at tonight's meeting of the
Builders Exchange.
Those who are in a position to know,
state that proposal for compromise
will be introduced by some of the MEM
bers and it is thought by many that
the Exchange will take some definite
action regarding the present trouble.
The Woodworkers' union held a meet
ing last night and unanimously de-
cided to bury the hatchet with the
Building Trades Council.
At the meeting of the union held on
Saturday evening a committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the council and
find out the feeling of that body in re-
gard to reconciliation.
The committee delivered its report
last evening and it proved to be very
favorable. The union elected delegates
to the council and these will be present
at the meeting of that body to be held
tomorrow evening,
Will. NOT QUIT.
The union further decided not to quit
work this morning, as they desire TO
give their employees plenty of time in
which to consider the question.
A. c. Cattermull had not returned
from Philadelphia at an early hour this
morning and it is not probable that he
will reach the city much before noon
today. lie will certainly arrive i'll the
city today some time and If the MEM
bers of the Exchange desire his pres
cnce at the meeting he will be ready
to appear.
4. !. Kidd secretary of tho National
Wood Workers Association, was seen
by a Tribune man at late hour last
night and made a short statement in

ODD KIND OF AN ASSET.
An Effort Is Being Made to Have
Clarence M. Sanderson's Gene
terry Lots at Newark, New
Jersey, Sold.

A proceeding which is possibly unique
in legal history was instituted yes
terday in bankruptcy court before
Referee c. A. Van Wormer. 1t is moth
ing other than the filing Of Il petition
to sell for debt a bankrupt's family
plot in a cemetery.
When Clarence NJ. Sanderson filed
his petition in voluntary bankruptcy
last November he stated in his sched-
ule that his total assets consisted of
two lots in the Mt. Pleasant cemetery,
Newark, n. J.
Yesterday T.. C. Newcomb, trustee
for the creditors, as the law directs,
proceeded to sieze upon the assets.
Following is the pettion:
In the District Court of the United States
for the Western District Of Pcnnsyl-
Vana.
In the matter of Clarence NJ. Sander
son, bankrupt.
No. 6, in bankruptcy.
Respectfully represents, T.. G., New
comb, trustee of the estate of said bank
rupt that it would be for the benefit of
said estate, tina, the real estate of said
bankrupt. to wit: All those two GER
tain cemetery lets, situate in the Eighth
ward of the city of Newark, in the coun-
ty of Essex, and state of New Jersey
being numbered 81 and IS, on section n,
as designated on a map or plan of lots
Of the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery company
in said city, each of said lots containing
33S square feet of land, more or less
should be sold, by auction, to the high.
est and best bidder for cash.
Wherefore he prays that he may be
authorized to make sale by auction of
said real estate as aforesaid.
Dated this 10th day of July, 1890.
T. G. NewCOmb, Trustee.
The referee yesterday afternoon sent
out notices to the creditors and the
bankrupt that a hearing on the peti,
tion would take place ten days hence
The lots in question comprise the
family burying plot and contain the re-
mains Of a number of the bankrupt's
relatives. 1t is very likely that some,
thing will intervene to prevent Tho
| threatened action.

JOSEPH BEDDoE SHOT.
Badly Injured by Joseph Reney at
Archibald.

Joseph Reney, of Archibald, shot and
seriously wounded Joseph Beddoe, OF
that place on Saturday evening last.
The wounded man received two bullets
in his hip and Reney made his es-
cape and has not been captured yet.
The affair is supposed to be the re-
suit of n quarrel between two factions
which resulted in a murder four years
ago and which has been continued ever
since.
Beddoe was drinking in a saloon
when a strange person entered and said
he was wanted outside. He passed out
and was met by Reney who without
hardly any warning fired two shots and
then fled to the woods nearby. Reney
had drawn $1,000 from a bank N this
city on Saturday and it is thought that
he intended to kill Beddoe and then
sail for his native county. County
Detective Leyshon is working on the
case.
