Lengthy arguments were made, yes
terday, in argument court, before
Judges Archibald and Edwards, in the
ase-stated OF ex-Patrolman James
saul against the city of Scranton. Ci:y
Solicitor A. A. Vosburg was heard for
the city, and ex-City Solicitor James
II. Torrey, of Welles & Torrey repre-
sented Mr.. Saul.
The -patrolmans claim for sal
airy for the time elapsing between the
day he was laid off by the mayor and
the day the select council approved his
dismissal and confirmed the appoint
ment of his successor is the founda
tion of the case
Mr.. Vosburg contended, in line with
the opinion he rendered to the mayor
and council that Saul's dismissal upon
being made complete by the concur
renee Of select council, took date from
the time the mayor sent to council the
communication containing notice of the
dismissal.
The principal involved was the same,
Mr. Vosburg held, as in the case of an
agent and principal, where the act of
the agent upon being ratified by the
principal takes date from the time of
ers make treaty that is later ratified
by the senate, the treaty takes date
from the time of the act of the commits
sioners.
Mr. Torrey insisted that as the law
provides that appointments and dis
missals of police officers shall be made
by the mayor and select council a joint
action is required and until such joint

ALLEGED DEFECTIVE LIENS.
The seven cases in which the John
A. Collins estate, Mary A. Scanlon ad.
ministratrix, Mary Moore, Roger Nc
Gowan, Mary Pritchard, David Will
liams and Mary Williams are seeking
to escape paying for the West Lacka-
wanna pave on the ground that the
liens are defective, were argued for
the city by City Solicitor Vosburg
and for the property holders by Attor-
ney T. p. Duffy.
The defect lies in the failure of the
city to file the liens within six months
of the date of making of the final as.
sessment. The liens were filed June 7
1895. The final estimate, as made by
City Engineer Phillips. was dated Dec
4, entered on the journal of the en-
gineers department of Dec. Z, and
filed in City Clerk Lavele's office, Dec
10.
City Engineer Phillips explained
these apparent contradictions with the
statement that the work of making
the estimate was commenced on the
fourth and continued up to the day II
was filed. Mr. Duffy held that as the
law says six months after the date
of the making of the final assessment
the liens must be filed, they were three
days late.
Other cases were disposed OF as fol.

structive cyclone passed two miles to
the north of here yesterday afternoon,
killing one woman and tearing houses,
barns, fences and bridges into kindling
wood. The cyclone seemed to form
fifteen niles northwest of Ainsworth.

and was headed in q direct line for
tdis town, finally passing just north
ana breaking about three miles east.
Its first destructive work was on the
farm of John Strohm, demolishing ev-
erything In sight. Luckily the family
took to cave and no one was injured.
1t struck the house Of William Lock-
miller, mile to the east. Mrs. Lock-
Il iller had sought refuge in the cellar
with three small children. Her oldest
son not coming, and fearing he might
be Killed In the barn where he was
working, Mrs. Lockmiller started to
call him just as the cyclone reached
them. AS she arrived at the door the
mouse was moved from the foundation
and she was crushed into q Nfeless
mass and her body nearly severed in
twain at the waist. The children were
unhurt, the cloud doing no further
damage than moving the house few
feet. ~
The. farm of Rev. T. w. De Long.
about two miles north Of town, was
next visited. Here the tornado re-
manned stationary for few moments,
while Its tail swund around to the east
of the house, striking the outbuildings
and whirling them in confused mass
over the prairie to the north, leaving
the house intact. A moment later it
enveloped the house in a cloud and
when 1t cleared away not even the
foundation was left standing. Rev.
De Long and family, consisting of
wife and three children, had taken
refuge in the cellar and were unhurt.
The farmhouses Of George Brown and
w. III. Hurting were completely de-
molished. All crops were completely

LiptOn's Boat WIFI Race With the
Britannia.
London, July AFTER all there is to
be trial of speed between the sham
rock and Britannia. Yesterday Sir
Thomas Upton and Mr.. Fyfe landed
at Southampton from q short cruise
on Sir Thomas steam yacht Erin and
1t was decided that the Shamrock is
not to sail for America without some
trial with another yacht. The Daily
Mail is authoritatively informed that
the spin will take place between the
Shamrock and the Britannia at the end
Of this week or at the beginning OF the
next. The contest will take place or
The Needles. To give an idea of the
new boats spars, it may be stated that
the girth Of the mainmast at the cross
trees is upward Of sixty inches, while
the spinnaker boom from the deck
reaches above that point. A steel
boom and steel gait have been shipped.
The immense area of the mainsail may
be gathered from the fact that the
canvas from which it is made weighs
nearly 100 pounds.
