OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT.
There Is a Strong Possibility That
Scranton will Have a Eall
Club Next Season.

The outlook for base ball in Scran-
ton for the season of 1900 seems bright.
Prominent Scrantonjans who are pat-
rons of the sport have had their in
terest aroused and great efforts are
being made to establish team in the
Atlantic league here, the directors Of
which organization held a meeting in
Wilkes-Barre Monday.
AS result of that meeting Scranton
was yesterday visited by a committee
consisting of President Horace S.
F'ogel, of Philadelphia: BILLY" Shar-
sig. manager of the Allentown club;
w. A. Clymcr, manager of the Wilkes
Barre team, and Secretary George
Zimmerman, of Allentown.
The gentlemen, in company with NJ.
T.. Sanders, John Kern and Chauncey
Derby, visited local enthusiasts yes
terday to enlist their services in the
bringing of a team to Scranton.
1t is intended to support the team
by popular subscription and to do this
$1,000 must be pledged, which amount
would tide the team over the season.
Among the prominent local lovers of
base ball interested in this scheme
may be mentioned City Treasurer Ed
ward Robinson and John and Thomas
Brooks, all of whom have been con-
nected with former Scranton teams.
City Treasurer Robinson, when seen
yesterday by Tribune man, said:
II am interested in base ball and
would be glad to see a team here. I
think it good idea to have the money
raised by popular subscription and I
certainly would be willing to put in
my share, for the pleasure Of seeing
Scranton again represented on the
diamond" Others spoke in a similar
vein.
Among the mcr mentioned as man.
ager of the team are Sandy" Griffin,
the manager of Scrantons last East
crn league team; Walter Burnham, OF
Portland Me-, and NJ. ]. Finn, of New
port, II. l. All are anxious to come
here. Frank L. Thyme. Of Lowell,
Mass. and George Black, of London
Ontario. are two other men who are
after the maragcrshir.
The circuit of the league would be
a short, compact one, the cities COM
prising it if Scranton joins being ar
ranged as follows: The teams being
paired off into Scranton and Wilkes
Barre, Allentown and Reading. Har-
risburg and Lancaster and Elmira and
Binghamton. Atlantic City and Tren-
ton, or Newark, might also be allowed
in, making ten club circuit.
Messrs. Sanders and Kern will today
begin the task of securing the ncces'
sary pledges of money to support the

An interesting opinion was filed yes
tcrday by Judge Archibald in the mat
ter of the rule to revoke the order OF
sale made In the estate of Joseph
Rydzy, deceased.
Rydzy died in the insane department
of the Hillside Home. September Z.
1897. Nearly two years later, August
H. 1899, the administrator. George NJ.
Okell, applied for and secured an order
to sell the real estate of the deceased.
a lot of land on Austin Heights. Be-
fore the order could be executed, how
ever. the widow came in with petition
for rule to revoke the order of sale,
alleging that the debt to liquidate
which the sale was to be made was not
valid.
This debt was a book account of $266
alleged to be owing to Joseph Josephs.
The administrator also presented for
liquidation a bill of 500 for admins
tration expenses and $50 for counsel
fees.
When the case came to be argued, the
supporters of the order of sale did not
strenuously contend against the claim
that If the sale was not executed with
in two years of the decedent's death.
the debts which occasioned 1t lapsed as
liens, but they urged that the admin
istrator's claims We're subject to this
limitation and that the Josephs' claim
had been made a lien by a recovery In
Alderman Kasson's court and the lien
thereby extended.
Judge Archibald, after reviewing these
facts at length, decides that the JO-
sephs' claim has lapsed, holding that
simple recovery "in an obscure corner
like the office of justice of the peace
or alderman" not prosecuted to a
Judgment in a court of record, does not
suffice to meet the requirements of the
| spirit of the law, as he supplies it from,
the letter.
The Josephs' claim being dropped out
of consideration the question remained
shall the order of sale stand on the
strength of the administrators ex-
penses?" To this. Judge Archibald
gives a negative reply, basing his find
| ing primarily on the fact that an ac-
| count is wanting, but intimating that
some lateral features will enter into
| the final determination Of the matter
He says in the concluding paragraph
| regarding these expenses:
How they could amount to any such
| sum in this small estate it is Difficult.
| to see. Nothing has been done except
| to cite the widow to take our letters
and then file the petition in contro.
versy. two very simple and inexpensiv,
matters. But without prejudgng thai
part of the case, we are satisfied thai
| the administrator ought to settle his
account and show what is justly ant
| exactly due him, and we will then ac-
| cord him the aid of the court to gel
| from the realty all that he is found tc
be entitled to. Rule made absolute
| the order of sale set aside, and the
| petition dismissed without prejudice"

BURNED WITH VITRIOL.
Martin Philbin and William Con.
merry, of Minooka, Suffer From
Franks of Mischief Maker.

Martin Philbin. of Minooka. a miner.
was yesterday taken to the Lackawan-
ma hospital with both of his feet ter
ribly burned as the result of vitriOl
having been poured uron them. He
claims this was done while he was
asleep in the Grand Centra! hotel, on
Lackawanna avenue. William Con-
merry, a friend of his. also had vitriol
poured on his feet.
Connery. however, was not as badly
injured as Philbin. DR.. William HaC-
gcrty and DR.. J. j. Walsh were in at
tendance on the men, and yesterday
decided. that in view of the extent of
Philbin's injuries. it wa, best for him
to q" sent to the hospital. The story
Of the affair told To Tribune man
by Connery. was as follows:
1T was on Friday evening. February
.. that Philbin and | came down to
town to see William Kelly, IA friend of
ours. off. as he was going to New
York. The train left at II o'clock, and
as it was too late to get a car for
Minooka we went into the Grand Cen
tral hotel and lay down in the room
back of the barroom. ard went to
sleep. We had beer that way for
about half an hour whcr Phibin sud
denly woke up with a start, feeling Il
terrible burning IN his feet. lust as
he woke up he saw Il fellow with a
bottle pouring it's contents on me.
"As soon as the chap saw Philbin
| was awake he bolted out of the room
and We didn't see any mere of him.
We got up and Phi!bn saw that the
fluid had pierced right through his
shoes. cracking them as though with
fire. We made things pretty lively for
a while and then managed to walk
down to DR.. Quinn's on Pittston ave.
nue., where we received temporary re-
lief"
Mr.. Durkin. proprietor of the Grand
Central, last night said that he was
not present or the evening in question
but had thoroughly investigated the
case. His bartenders, he says, utterly
deny the story and give this version
of the case:
The two mer had been in the place
about :! o'clock. after seeing their
FRIEND leave the city. They went out
Of the hotel ana ther came back a
short while later, raising Il great fuss
and claiming that they had been
very much annoyed that any such oc-
| currence should even be said to havs
taken place in his hotel
Philbin rested easily last night at
the hospital. though his feet are ter.
ribly injured. the burns extending half
| way up the ankles.
