The Lake Pleasant association
brought suit recently against Mrs.
Hattie NJ Reed Connicks, owner of
several lots of land at Lake Pleasant,
to compel her to pay a yearly asse S.
ment of 3 per cent on the cost Of her
land. All property owners have
been assessed similarly, the money
being used in road repairing, policing
etc. Mrs. Connicks claimed the as
ISOLATION had no right to levy the as
sessment, and Judge Lyman of the
superior court in Greenfield sustain
ed this contention. The case will
probably be taken to the higher
courts. If the association does
not possess the power to assess,
the life of the Lake Pleasant
organization is taken, and hundreds
of lots. which individuals have
bought, are simply owned in common.

NO LIGHT ON THE MYSTERY.
Verdict in Case of Man Drowned in
Blast Furnace Reservoir.

In the arbitration room of the court
house yesterday afternoon an inquest
was held in the case of the unknown
man whose dead body was found in
the reservoir alongside of the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel company's blast
furnace last Thursday afternoon. The
jurors were: ID. S. Ryan, G. w Will
liams, Timothy Burke, Patrolman Will
liam Thompson, Palmer Williams and
DR.. II. S. Sutton.
Coroner Roberts explained to the
jurors that his post-mortem revealed
the fact that death was due to drown
ing and that there were no marks Of
violence on the body. The man had
either tumbled into the water acci-
dentally or thrown himself into it. De-
ceased was a man about 80 years Of
age, unusually large ana apparently a
tramp. There was nothing on his body
that gave any clue to his identity. He
had a razor in one of his pockets, on
the blade of which was scratched the
word "Hawdy." The jurors returned
the following verdict:
we, the undersigned jurors do find
that the unidentified deceased came to
his death by drowning in dam lOcat-
ed near the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company's blast furnace at
Scranton, Pa, where he was found in
the evening OF Thursday, March %,
1900, and that he came to his death in
a manner unknown to the jury"

FOR THE NEXT GRAND JURY.
SOME Information That 1t Might
Make Good Use of.

In the report of the grand jury,
made last Saturday, complaint was
made that magistrates are wont to
place fictitious values on stolen prop
erty in working up the transcript of
a larceny case so that the sum will
exceed $40 and the grand jury will be
left without any say in the disposition
of the costs, the law prescribing that
in such cases the costs shall be borne
by the county.
A prominent member of the Lacka-
wanna bar, who has an eye to the pub
lie veal, said yesterday, in comment
ing on the matter, that the jury was
misinformed regarding it's powers in
this regard. The jury he said, is not
compelled to accept the magistrates
appraisement, but can place it's own
value on the property, and If in it's
opinion it is worth less than SO can
amend the transcript and act accord
ingly.
Fully one-third of the cases which
come before the grand jury he said,

are purely fictitious and designated
solely to pilfer costs from the county.
1t remains with the grand jury TO
correct the evil, as far as this can
be done, until the legislature finds
time to take up and revise the laws
governing this much-abused system
of dealing with transcripts.
His idea would be to make the coun-
ty liable for costs only in cases of the
higher felonies ana provide that mag
istrates be salaried instead of feed,
as at present.
