Compromise Was Effected.

The injunction in the case of the
Young Mems Temperance and Benevo-
lent society, of Dunmore, against Pat
rick Moran, was dismissed yesterday
by Judge John Z. Kelly, by agreement
of the parties.
Moran was q member of the society
and collected sick benefits at the rate
OF IS per week, alleging that he was
Ill of miners asthma. An investigat-
ing committee found that he had vio-
lated certain of the bylaws by at
tempting to collect benefits after he
had recovered, as was alleged and by
action of the society he was expelled.
At the end of seventeen weeks Moran
brought suit for $S5 before Justice Of
the Peace KrotZer and recovered judg-
ment. The society took an appeal
Five weeks later he sued again and
recovered judgment for $25, from
which another appeal was taken.
After six months elapse the bylaws
provide that only $3.50 per week shall
be paid in sick benefits. The Pennsyl-
vania statutes provide that judgment
before justice of the peace for less
than $3.50 is not subject to appeal.
With the presumed purpose of pre-
venting the society from taking an
appeal, Moran brought suit weekly,
and each time recovered judgment for
$3.50 at the cost of the society. He
threatened to keep this up for the
whole twenty-six weeks of the six
months period, and to estop this alleg-
ed vexatious litigation the society Sc
cured a preliminary injunction and a
rule to make it permanent.
When the hearing on the rule came
up before Judge Kelly, yesterday the
attorneys got together and came to an
agreement that the suits should cease,
the injunction be dismissed and the
dispute settled once and for all on the
appeal from the first judgment of $50.
BY special order of court the case was
advanced to the head of the common
pleas list for the September term.
