IN A DUAL CAPACITY.
A Trustee in Bankruptcy May Also
Act as Attorney.

Attorney c. A. Van Wormer, referee
in bankruptcy, made an important
ruling on a disputed point in bank
ruptcy proceedings 1t is to the effect
that a person can act both as a trustee
and attorney.
The ruling in full is: "a trustee ap-
pointed by creditors of a bankrupt,
being an attorney -at-law, where he
performs legal services for the benefit
of the estate of which he is trustee,
may receive out of the funds in his
hands compensation for the services
rendered as an attorney"
In nearly every case of bankruptcy
an attorney is chosen as trustee. Here
tofore they have taken it for granted
that they could not act in the dual
capacity of trustee and attorney. Ref
cree Van Wormers decision DEGREES
that they can The decision was based
on a ruling made in the state courts
by Chief Justice Sterritt, in Perkins
appeal, 10S Pa. St. p. 319.
The question was raised in the bank
ruptcy court by Attorney II. s. AL

We offer this morning the larg-
est collection of Women'S Shirt

great and good showing we made

OF what you may expect of our
present gathering. They crowd
the counters leading to the Suit De-
partment, leaving room only for
you to search comfortably among
them. They are the good kinds,
cut on correct lines from perfect
patterns, carefully made, and a
great deal of this care has been de-
voted to the trimming and finishing
the details that mark the charac-
ter of all high class Waists. Here

About two-thiids of the members of
Group 3, of the Pennsylvania Bankers
association attended the special meet
ing held yesterday afternoon at the
board of trade rooms in Wilkes Barre
for the purpose OF omcially and unit
edly considering the matter of a charge
being collected on checks sent through
the New York Clearing House asso-
citation.
T. E. James, of Easton, president
of the group, presided and in the alb
sence of Charles W. Gunster, Scran-
ton, secretary, John NJ. Taylor, of this
city, acted in that capacity. The mat
ter in hand was thoroughly discussed
in every possible phrase and as a re-
suit the following resolutions were
drawn up and adopted:
Whereas, The New York Clearing
House association has imposed IA compu-
sorry charge on the customers of tho
banks connected with it for collecting
Pennsylvania checks other than those
drawn on Philadelphia, and
Whereas Some of the merchants in
New York city have endeavored to charge
this expense back to their country custo-
mers, therefore, be it
Resolved, That We recommend to our
depositors, that they continue to send
their checks to New York city in pay
ment of bills, and insist and their being
accepted at par. Our reasons for so do
ing being that they are dcpoSiting ouJ-of-
town checks with us which we could not
freely allow If they We're to ask us for
New York drafts without charge, and
that as out-of-town checks are taken on
deposit by country banks from their
customers on the basis of the value of
their accounts. similar arrangement
should be made by the New York de-
postors with their banks.
The resolutions need little explana-
tion and seem to be in the opinion of
the bankers the only direct way OF
bringing the matter either to a crisis
or stop.
At the conclusion of the session the
Scranton delegates rendered the menu
bers of the group an invitation to hold
the next regular meeting in this city.
This meeting comes in October next.

We don't think so many styles are
shown in any one store outside of

another is $500. That is the
range. Probably fifty prices be-

c. d. Manning, a farmer from Sus-
quehanna county, was tried before
Judge Archibald for cruelty to animals.
e. ii. Knapp, officer of the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals,
was the prosecutor. 1t was alleged
on the part of the commonwealth that
on Feb. when the thermometer was
below zero Manning allowed his team
to stand unblanketed on Washington
avenue until they were covered with
fee.
The commemorative testimony was
to the effect that the horses stood for
over half an hour on the avenue, but
NIanninE's story was that it was not
more than ten minutes. The language
of the indictment was that Manning
was guilty of "torturing and il-treat-
ing" the horse. The court did not
think the evidence warranted "a con-
viction in accordance with the lam
euage of the indictment and directed
verdict Of not guilty, but sent the
jury out to pass upon the question of
costs. The Jurors decided that Agent
Knapp will have to pay the costs.
1t took jury less than sixty Sec
ords to find John Lambert guilty of
attempting to criminally assault Julia
Simpson, a ten-year-old colored girl
who resides with her parents in oak
ford court. Lambert is white and about
fifty years of age. He decoyed the girl
into an unoccupied house in Oakford
court and there was in the act of as
saulting her when Walter Evans. who
had noticed Lamberts suspicious con-
duct, appeared upon the scene and res
Cued the little girl.
Lambert went on the stand and in
brazen manner admitted his guilt. but
attempted to hold the little girl re-
sponsble for the indignities he had
offered to her.
RICE AND MINNICE TRIED.
Joseph Rice and Louis Minnich were
arraigned for the theft of a large jour
nal from the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel cornpany's North mill. James
Fogerty, who was arrested for the
same olfense, pleaded guilty earlier in
the week. When Rice and Minnich
were put on trial they said they had
no counsel and Attorneys Clarence
Ballentine and Charles +. Daniels We're
assigned to defend them. The COM
monwealth showed that Fogerty was
arrested with the stolen goods in his
possession and that Rice and Minnich
We're seen with him.
For the defense Fogerty was called
to the stand and swore positively that
Rice and Minnich We're in no way con-
nected with the theft of the metal He
never saw them until after their ar
rest. His partner was a man named
Barrett,who was not arrested. Fogerty
lives at Rochester. n. Y; Rice at
Princeton. n. j.. and Minnich on the
South Side of this city. Both of the
defendants denied all knowledge of the
theft and said they never saw Fogerty
until after their arrest. The jury ar
rived at a verdict a few minutes after
court adjourned and sealed it, The ver-
dict will be reported this morning.

NO COAL HERE.
But Barges Are Bringing
Lots of 1t to New York.

The coal situation remains unchang-
ed. No coal has arrived here since the
. famine began, although it is more thar
probable than one or two of the local
dealers will receive a small supply
sometime during the latter part of the
week.
The greatest dearth is in the matter
of factory coal and that will make up
the first consignments to be received
here. The house coal will follow closely
on behind.
One hundred barges of coal, each con-
tanning from 1850 to 600 tons, will arrive
in New York from Perth Amboy and
South Amboy this morning, and it is
more than probable that portion of it
may find dts way1to Worcester, and so
relieve the shortage in the market More
barges Will be on their way to New
York tomorrow, and those already
there will be sent back for more coal
as soon as they are unloaded.
The work of ranlning the Kill Won
Kull between the Amboys and New
York, was accomplished by Is tugs, and
by noon Of yesterday, the way was open
for the coal tow. The Ice is beginning
TO thaw on the waterways followed by
the coal feet, and 1t is probable that
within very short time, unless severe
cold weather sets in, the coal market
will resume its normal conditions.
The coal trusts rise of from 20 to 40
cents "a ton still holds good, and so does
the advance of the retailer; and they
are likely to hold good for some time.

five years with Mrs. Bowen, gave her
third annual concert last evening in

sign of interest and enthusiasm.
Of course Miss Bells performance was
the feature of central interest, and the
young lady did not disappoint her

her dialogue with her brother. She
made "a fine suppression on the audience,
and was Obliged to respond to encores

The trustees of the estate of the late
William S. Lincoln of this city are al
loggerheads, and the courts were yes
terday appealed to for a settlement of
the differences between the executors
and trustees of the estate, who are
brothers, over the adjustment of the af-
fairs of the estate. The property of
Levi Lincoln, one Of the trustees, has
been attached for $1O0, 900 in each of
two suits, the suits being brought by
WlnsloW 5. Lincoln, and Levi Lincoln,

10 appear as one of the plaintiffs in his
capacity as co-trustee and co-eXecutor
of his fathers estate.
Ih1s is a rare and unusual proceed
ing Tor a man to sue himself, but Levi
Lincoln, who is the sole defendant. is
MADE party to the suit as plaintiff,
as he and his brother, Winslow S. Lin
coin, are the trustees of the estate and
executors of their fathers will. The
real essential claim in the actions is

and by the terms of the will his two
sons, Levi Lincoln and Winslow S.
Lincoln, We're named as executors OF
the will, and also as trustees of the
property. Nothing was said in the will
as to the exemption Of the trustees and
executors from furnishing bonds for
the performance of their trust, but
when the will was allowed in he pro-
bate court, both sons We're appointed
without furnishing sureties.
The property of the late William S
Lincoln embraced large real estate
holdings, and aside from the division
of the property of the estate between
the two sons, they We're made the
trustees of the rest. The brothers have
continued to act in their capacity as
executors and trustees. but disagree
ment has arisen in the management of
the estate and its settlement, with the
result that WinsloW S. Lincoln has
sued his brother. Levi Lincoln, asking
