THE SCRANTON TR1BUN THURSDAY. JANUARY H. 1900.
against Mary Parcel. a rule to open
Judgment The nnininn fnllnMA:

against Mary Parcel, a rule to open
Judgment. The opinion follows:
'Since the Act of 1887 a married wo-
man may be sued for necessaries with
out Joining her husband. AS before the
act the record must show the debt con-
tracted by the wife for necessaries for
the use Of herself and family. Ames
VS.. Hugg, 6 G. c. II. SO. The record In
this case Is scarcely sufficient, but the
defendant Is not in a situation to take
advantage of the defect AS Mary Par
eel she had been dealing with the plain
tiff before her marriage to Zalewski
and continued the same course of deal.
ing after her marriage as before. The
account has not changed and she con-
tinued to do the purchasing. When
sued as Mary Parcel she not only failed
to plead the mlsnomer, but appeared
and confessed judgment.
This was Oct. II. 1898. According
to the answer, which is not denied, she
repented and promised to pay the judg-
ment. Pending condemnation proceed
ings In the summer of 1899, she agreed
to pay plaintiff the amount of the judg-
ment and costs. Whatever might have
been the situation otherwise. we think
she Is estopped by her acts and dec
larations from settling up the invalid
ity of the judgment and accordingly
we discharge the rule at her cost, at
the same time noting an exception and
sealing q bill for her."

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
Met to Decide Upon Time for Wait
ing on officials Of Companies.

Messrs. Calpin, Grifliths, Tewkesbury
and Thomas. comprising quorum of
the conference committee appointed
by councils to wait upon the officials
of the Ira ction and Lackawanna Rail-
road companies with q view OF ascer-
tanning how much each will contribute
towards the erection of the proposed
viaduct. met yesterday afternoon in
the mayors office at the latter's re.
quest.
After short discussion it was final
ly decided to adjourn until this even-
ing at $50 o'clock, when City Engi-
neer Phillips will be present with the
plans for the proposed improvement.
The committee will then decide when
and where they will confer with the
officials Of the two companies.
The viaduct ordinance was yesterday
presented to City Controller Howell
for the purpose Of obtaining a state
ment Of the city's Indebtedness to be
filed with the clerk Of the courts. As
the time before the election is too
short for the compilation Of such q
statement, the city solicitor has decid-
ed that the statement prepared for the
issuance of the park Improvement
bonds will answer the purpose.

There Will Be an innovation In the
Way It Will Be Conducted.

the managers for the Home for the
Friendless. Heretofore this meeting
has been held on the afternoon Of the
second Friday Of the year. In view Of
the larger number of people who are
now interested In the home 1t has been
thought wise to give these friends an
opportunity for hearing exactly what
the institution Is doing.
At the public meeting. A. j. Colborn,
esq. will make an address. Mrs. r.. :.
Moffat will tell of the work Of the pas,
year and Mrs. Thomas II. Dale will
give the treasurer's report. 1t will be
n most interesting occasion. The meet
ing will be held in the hall of the AL

THE ANNUAL MEETING.
Board of Trade to Elect officers on
Monday Evening.

The annual meeting of the Scranton
board of trade will be held next Mon
day evening at 8 o'clock. The election
Of officers for the coming year will take
place and the annual report of Secre-
tary Atherton will be read. The Sec
retary has spent considerable time in
the preparation of this report and 1t
will undoubtedly prove to be an inter-
esting resume of the city's industrial
progress during the year 1899. The
declaration of the boards sentiments
on the question of water rates to manu-
facturers, laid over for one month at
the last meeting, will come up for con-
sideration and will undoubtedly be
adopted.
A TEMPTING lunch will be served at
the conclusion of the meeting and Sec
retary Atherton promises that the
method Of serving will be in the line
Of a novelty. 1t has been decided to
serve a lunch at all meetings of the
board from now on, and the members
behind this plan say that a full at
tendance can be secured by this means,
where other methods fail.

Accident in Duryea Mine.

George Norton: Of Avoca, a miner In
the William A. colliery at Duryea,
was yesterday morning taken to the
Lackawanna hospital with his left eye
in such a terrible condition that the
use Of 1t was entirely gone, and 1t had
to be removed.
Norton. who is a young man OF about
twenty-one, was In the mine with a
friend. The latter had a loaded re-
volver with him and, suddenly draw
ing it, said: II am going to fire, just
to give the boys a scare"
He did fire, but instead OF aiming at
the ground. shot straight into wall
Of rock nearby. The bullet struck and
srlintered the edge of the wall. Either
the cartridge itself rebounded or a
splinter of rock flew back and struck
young Norton in the eye. His eyelid
was terribly cut. and the eye entirely
destroyed.
He was later in the morning taken to
the Lackawanna hospital. and after
being received at the institution was
operated upon.

FRENCH-AMERICAN TREATY.
Said to Be in Hazardous Position
with Possibility of Defeat.

Washington. Jan. 10.-Privato reports
that reach the diplomatic circle here
from Paris indicate that the reciproc-
ity treaty between the United States
and France is in hazardous position,
with more than possibility of de-
feat when it comes to the final vote in
the French chambers.
The administration here is filled with
grave concern for the fate of the treaty
in the United States senate, and thus
the convention is in the singular posi-
tion Of being exposed to rejection by
both parties on the ground that it is
too favorable to each.
