KEoGH AND DE ORC MATCHED.
Will Play a Weeks Tourney in New
York CITY

Jerome r. Keogh, of this city cham
pion pool player of the world, and eX-
Champion Alfredo DeOro, the Cuban
crack, who won the recent tournament
at Syracuse, will play match game
for purse of $3.50 and half the gate
receipts at Maurice Daly's parlors,
Thirty-first street and Broadway, New
York, during the week beginning Mon
day, Jan. %. They will play $50 balls
night for four nights and 90 balls on
the concluding two nights.
The game is not for the champion
ship. 1t is simply an exhibition game
arranged by DAILY. 1t is likely how
ever, that a championship game will
follow.
DeOro is looked upon as the only man
now playing pool who can make Keogh
play his best game. For years he was
the undisputed champion, and only lost
that title through serious illness,
which compelled him to forfeit the
medal, by reason of his being unable
to accept any challenges.
In the Syracuse tournament, DeOro
lost his game to Clearwater, whom
Keogh so easily defeated, and who has
stated that he will waste no more
money trying to wrest the champion
ship from the Scranton boy DeOro
and Keogh have never met since Keogh
developed into championship form, and
as each is anxious to find out how he
stands as compared to the other, the
contest next week will be played as
hard as If it was a championship game.

WEEK IN THE COURTS.
Court House Will Be Busy Place
Today, It Is Expected.

II things come off as per schedule,
today will be busy one in the court
house. At 2 o'clock p. IN. the Superior
court will begin its second weeks ses-
sion to deal with cases from Lacka-
wanna, Wayne, Pike and Susquehanna
counties, and such cases as were con-
tinued from last week.
The John Gibbons habeas corpus case
will come up for a hearing, and there
will be a discussion, also, as to whether
or not the contempt of court case will
come up on certiorari for a review.
The counsel for Mr.. Gibbons contend
that inasmuch as the appeal did not
develop until within twenty days of
the return day for the Scranton ses-
sion of 1899, the case, under the rules,
must go over until the following year.
The opposing counsel will contend that
the case was specially directed to come
up at this term and regularly placed
on the trial list for today.
1t is likely that large number of
opinions will be handed down at the
opening of the session.
The second of the three weeks Janu-
AIRY term of common pleas court will
also begin today. Three court rooms
will be in session. Judge Harmon
Yerkes, of Bucks county will assist the
local judges in disposing of this weeks
list. The case of Gunster assignee.
against B. II. Throop and others, and
the case of Cornelius Smith and Others
against f. Z. Loomis and Joseph Fell
lows, are among the important cases
on the list.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Judge Archbald's Opinion in the
Big Coal Case of Jermyn g.
Co. Against Elliott,
Mcclure q Co.

In the equity case OF Jermyn & Co.
against Elliott, Mcclure & Co., Judge
Archibald on Saturday in a forty-pago
opinion, rendered a decision in favor of
the defendant. 1t is a suit involving
coal valued at over 100000 and grew
out of a parole exchange of coal lands.
The land in question Is located in Old
Forge township near the Taylor bor-
Ough line. In 1887 Jermyn & Co. came
into possession of 4 tract of land lying
on both sides of St. Johns brook. FL
lott, Mcclure 4 co. We're at that time
operating the Sibley colliery and own
ed also land on both sides of the
brook. The plaintiffs land on the west
side of the brook was twenty acres in
extent. The defendants land on the
opposite side of the brook was about
100 acres in extent. An exchange Of
these plots was considered and confer
ences We're held to bring the trade
about. Because of a dip" and the
wet nature of workings that would be
run underneath the brook it was fig
ured that it would be mutually advan-
tageous if neither company would cross
| the brook.
Elliott, Mcclure & Co. proceeded to
| mine coal from the Jermyn & Co. one
hundred acre plot. Jermyn e. Co. like
wise proceeded to mine from the de-
! PENDANTS neighborng twenty acre
! tract.
| In 1891 Jermyn & Co. notified Elliott.
! Mcclure & Co. to cease mining on the
one hundred acre plot. but no heed was
paid to the order and Jermyn & Co.
| brought an equity suit to restrain the
other company from further mining on
their tract and to compel them to paw
for 100000 tons of coal which it was al
! legged had up to that time been moved.
! The defendant company made answer
that they Were mining under the parole
exchange mentioned above.
The case was submitted to w. w.
! LathrOpe, as master and examiner III
! 1896 he submitted report sustaining
| the contention Of the plaintiff. in the
| main, but the defendants have acted
in good faith, according to his view,
they should be permitted to have the
right to maintain their pumps and 9TH
er fiXings on the plaintiffs premises
and to enjoy other privileges, the denial
of which would cause them great in
convenience and expense. He fixed
$S,9nQ4l as the amount the defendants
should pay for the coal they had taken
| out.
Judge Archibald takes an entirely
| different view of the case. He sustains
the defendants contention that there
was a parole exchange and as a cir
cumstance going to prove this he cites
the fact that Jermyn g. Co. entered up
on and mined from the defendants 90
acre tract. The plaintiffs had admit
ted this but alleged that it was sim
| ply a case of mining out of hounds hy
mistake. Judge Archibald says the
character Of the mining does not tend
to confirm this allegation.
The plaintiffs We're represented by s.
r. Price and eX-Justice Alfred Hand
The defendants counsel We're Major
| Everett Warren and eX-Judge A. o.
| Fuerst, of Bellefonte. The case will be
appealed to the supreme court.

RECEPTION IN CATHEDRAL.
Sixty New Members Received Into
Holy Name Society.

In st. Peters cathedral last night
sixty candidates we're received into
the Holy Name society. The reception
was an inspiration to those who had
the privilege of witnessing It. The
society has a membership of 800 men,
who sang a number of hymns last
night in connection with the reception
exercises.
The singing was led by Rev. ]. a.
O'Reilly, rector of the cathedral, who
is spiritual director of the society. John
Colligan played the violin and Alloy
sius Colligan presided at the organ.
Father O'Reilly was assisted in receiv-
ing the candidates in the society by
Rev ]. J. McCabe, of South Scranton;
Rev. r. J. Cough and Rev. j. j. B.
Feeley of the cathedral. The sermon
was by Rev. ID. ]. Dustin, of st. Mary s
church. Wilkes Barre. He took for his
text the words our help is in the
name of the Lord"
Father Dustin tried to enforce the
lesson that we must constantly lean
on Christ. without him we cannot
receive a grace or merit eternal life
We are only sojournerS here and ii
is for us to say whether our future
abiding place will be heaven or hell
BY a mans language it Is easy to dis
cern the direction he is travelling in
The speaker then made an appeal for
greater reverence for the name OF
Jesus.
Those who join the Holy Name So
ciety promise to abstain from blasphem-
Gus and immodest language, and tC
labor that those under their charge
may refrain from such language. They
engage to observe the Sundays and
holy days of obligation as far as they
can; to make those under their charge
observe them; to strive by both word
and example to promote the glory OF
God and reverence due to his holy
law.

cial Officer Robert Curtis. brand Seid-
man us an interloper and say that hc
acted dishonorably with them.
He worked his way into the case,
they say, and then when he got few
scraps of what he thought was evi-
dence, caused the warrants to be sworn
out in his own name, hoping to force
the district attorney TO assist him with
whatever evidence he might have and
thus, when the Monaghans and their
alleged accomplices would be convict
ed, he would as prosecutor come in for
the reward.
To prevent a repetition of this kind
of disastrous work by some other and
inscriptions detective or alleged de-
tective the county commissioners of
Luzerne have withdrawn the 81, 900 re-
ward offer. 1t is said they propose to
engage a first class detective agency to
take the case in hand.
Incidentally it might he noted that
Seidman is not detective and Is in no
way connected with any detective
agency. He is simply a special officer.

Accident in Dunmore.
one of the large Drinker-Washburn
cars No 30l, ran away on Drinker
street hill yesterday morning at $50
o'clock and jumping the track at the
corners ran across the square" thence
diagonally down Blakely street and
plump into the front of the Exchange
hotel. which is located on the south
west corner of Drinker and Blakely
streets. There were no passengers in
the car and the motorman and con-
ductor escaped injury by jumping.
The porch and balcony of the hotel
and the front of the car were badly
wrecked The windows of the hotel
bar room were smashed in and the
broken glass was sent flying through
the room. 1t being Sunday there was,
of course no one within TO be injured.
A stone tie-post which the car struck
and snapped I'm twain, helped retard
it's progress and prevented, possibly,
more serious damage to the hotel build
ing.
The cause of the accident was a
broken brake-rod. II gave way just
after the car started to descend the
long and steep Drinker street hill. The
reversed power failed to check the car,
and when it struck the curve at the
corners it was going at. such a high
rate OF speed that II jumped the track.
After replacing the car it was found
possible TO take II to the barn under its
own power.
