Post Will Not Be Withdrawn.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In a report last Monday evening
in Grace church, as published i'm your
valuable paper, YOU stated that the "NoI-
unteers may be withdrawn" from this
city.
AS the impression seems to have gone
ing here, would you kindly tell the citi-
ZenS Of Scranton through your columns,
that Col kcppcl decided before leaving
not to remove us but to send us rein
forCemnts and we firmly believe that a
good work will yet be accomplished here
with Gods help.
General and Mrs Booth, who. by the
way, expect to visit Scranton this fall
are very much averse to closing this post
as they have hundreds of friends here
whom they believe will rally to our as
sistanCc when they are acquainted with
our needs.
Allow me also to say that we have n
number Of kind friends here who help us
by monthly, quarterly and yearly Contri-
buttons to our work, and we herewith
wish to express our hearty thanks for tho
same. Since our arrival here, We have
had a number of things to contend with.
on account of the prolonged strike of the
building trades people who would have
helped us financially, have been unable
to do so, but have assured us of their
assistance later on.
The changes made by the Delaware,
IaCkawanna and Western have also af-
fected us, living lowered our finances sew

OPINION IN THE
LALLY EQUITY CASE
HANDED DOWN YESTERDAY BY
JUDGE H. M. EDWARDS.
Preliminary Injunction Is Allowed
Restraining Lally from Interfering
with His Daughter in Administer
ing the Affairs of Her Mothers
Estate-James Doran Is Again Ad-
mitted to Bail-Appeals Filed from
the Summary Conviction Before
the Mayor.

Judge H. NJ Edwards yesterday
handed down an opinion i'm the equity
case of Mary Lally eXecutrix, against
her father. John Lally. Both are
residents of this city. The judge
grants an injunction restraining the
defendant from interfering with the
plaintiff in administering the affairs
of her mothers estate. The opinion
is as follows:
Bridget Lally died testate in 1892.
by her last will and testament she
devised her real estate to her execu-
triX, who is her daughter in trust for
the benefit of John Lally, the defen-
dant and husband of the deceased,
during his lifetime, and, after his
death. to the children.
1T is claimed on the part Of the
plaintiff that Immediately after her
mothers death. in accordance with
the provisions of the will, she assumed
the control of the estate. coll
lecting the rents, paying the annual
charges upon it ana supporting her
father, John Lally. and that she per-
formed these obligations for several
years without objection from the de-
l'IudHl ulllll Il lew llOlllIS ago, Wllbn
he claimed the control of the property
as tenant by curtsy.
The defendant denies the allega-
tiOn of the plaintiff and claims that
he has always had the management
and possession Of the real estate in
his own right.
"Only three witnesses were sworn
in this case. the plaintiff and her sis
ter on one side and the defendant for
himself The evidence requires but
little discussion. 1t appears clearly
that since the death of her mother the
plaintiff has been in the sole posses
sion and control of the property. The
father has acquiesced i'm this arrange
ment for about seven years. He is
now estOpped from asserting any right
that he might have had as against his
wife's will.
considering some circumstances
disclosed by the evidence concerning
which it is not necessary to particular
ize | am satisfied that the continuance
of the arrangement provided by the
will is more beneficial to the defendant
than if his present contention shall
prevail.
THE rule for a preliminary injunc-
tion is directed to issue as prayed for
in the plaintiffs bill, to be continued
until the further order of the court
plaintiff to give bond in the sum of
5000"
