4 three weeks term of common pleas
began yesterday and the first case on
the list was Wyoming county against
Charles Wheelock, +. II. Chase and
Michael Brown, commissioners of Wyo-
ming county. This action is in the
form of an appeal from the report Of
the county auditors sur-charginE the
commissioners with $1,000, which, ii is
alleged, is the amount the county paid
out by reason of the failure of the
county commissioners to properly
guard the county's interests. The his
tory of the case was given in detail
in yesterdays Tribune and in brief is
as follows:
4 soldiers monument was erected in
Tunkhannock by the county commits
SiOnerS, and the cost of it was $1,000.
This was 81 600 more than the county
auditors thought was reasonable cost.
A bridge was erected at EatOnville for
which S3,O37 of county money was paid,
or $1,000 more than the auditors be-
lieve was necessary. 1t is also alleged
that the commissioners allowed the dis
trict attorney to draw $500 more fees
than he was entitled to receive. and
these three amounts making $3,G0O all
told, the commissioners are asked to
make good to the county.
The case is being heard i'm No.

a large number of prominent Wyoming
county men are present to watch the
progress of the trial. Wyoming Coun-
ty's interests are guarded by eX-Dis-
trict Attorney Frear, of Tunkhannock

Trouble Over a Line Fence.

Mrs. Ellen G. Kelley yesterday filed
bill in equity to restrain James +.
Donnelly from erecting a fence on her
land on Madison avenue, this city.
They own adjoining properties, and
there is a dispute as to the exact loca-
tion of the line between them.
Donnelly proceeded to erect a fence
that Mrs Kelley says is on her land.

the courts to restrain him from so do.

has been legally determined.

he did not know that it would be ad-
visable to erect the monument. If 1t
was decided to erect II he told White
and Deitrick they would have an op-
portunity to hid on It. White told him
that If the commissioners let him in
on the job they would make it worth
his while. Brown would not listen to
White further and walked away. Com
missioners Wheelock and Chase were
also called as for cross-examination
and gave almost similar testimony.
Edward Gallagher, of Philadelphia,
the man who erected the monument,
was called ana said he received $4,000
for the work. An attempt was made
to prove by him that he took the com
missioners to Philadelphia and enter
tanned them there at his expense and
that he afterwards presented each Of
them with 500. Judge Archibald ruled
that such questions could not be pro-
pounded to the witness, for the reason
that the evidence was not material.
White and Deitrick We're then in turn
called to the stand to give expert tes-
timony as to the cost Of such a monu-
ment as was erected. They knew moth
ing about the cost of the bronze figures
on the monument and had only meagre
knowledge of other matters entering
into the cost of it, and Judge Archibald
refused to allow them to testify as eN-
perts.
THE EATONVILLE BRIDGE.
David Keefe, practical bridge man,
now employed by r. w. Hildred & Co,
of New York, testified that the bridge
at Eatonvlle. for which $3037 was paid,
could be duplicated for $3.50 MA. Rey-
noldS, clerk of the court of quarter ses-
siOns. testified that certain costs had
been twice paid to the district attor-
ney.
Ellery Colby, a witness for the de-
fense, who was anxious to leave the
city last night, was. by permission of
the plaintiff, called by the defense at
| that point. He is president of the
Owego Bridge company, and has been
a bridge contractor for twenty-five
years. He gave it as his opinion that
the Eatonville bridge, independent of
the approaches or planking. would cost
| $1,000. He was vigorously cross exam
| ined by Attorney Dawson, but his opin-
| ion was in nowise shaken by the ques-
tiOns of the attorney. After Mr.. Colby
| left the stand. court adjourned for the
day. The case will he resumed this
| morning.

TRADE FOLLOWS THE FLAG.
Ex-senator Edmunds's Argument in
BehnIf of Shining Inferests


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Prominent rep
resentatives of American shipping interests
were heard to-day by the House commit
tee on merchant marine and fisheries rela-
tive to the measure introduced in the Senate
by Mr. Hanna and in the House by Mr.
Payne Ito promote the commerce and in
crease the foreign trade of the United
States and to provide auxiliary cruisers,
transports and seamen for government use
when necessary" The main feature of the
measure is a graded subsidy to American
ships, based on tonnage and service Among
those present were ex-senator Edmunds,
Of Vermont. who appeared for the shipping
interest; President Griscom, of the Interna-
tional Navigation Company, Commissioner
Of Navigation Chamberlain, Edward r.
Sherwood. secretary of the Philadelphia
Maritime Exchange; Arthur Sewall, If
Maine. and President Hyde, of the Bath
iron works.
Mr. Edmunds made the opening state
mcnt appearing in behalf of ship builders
and ship owners. the great majority of them
Americans. Foreign shipping interests were
naturally opposed to this measure said Mr.
Edmunds. and it was possible he added
that some of the great railroad lines felt
that an increase in the water carrying trade
initiated against them, Throughout his
twenty-five years of service in the Senate
he had sought to secure some such aid to
shipping. Trade follows the flag. said Mr.
Edmunds. once the American ship and the
American flag appeared at any point in
South America or South Africa or other
place on the globe, the commercial man and
lis salesman followed with his American
goods. MIR. Edmunds said events of recent
months had shown In particular the value

author of the famous Goebel election law,

and chairman of the Democratic state CEN

to-day's issue. There were six for Asix
against sustaining Dunlaps action, which
gave Johnston an opportunity to take re-
