be called upon to preside at both the
district and circuit courts, which be-
gin their annual Scranton session in
the Federal court room here. this
morning at 10 o'clock.

week or ten DAYS.
that of Anna Dickinson against DR..
James Oglesby, will probably be con-
tinued. The attorneys for the plain
tiff, James Ferguson and j. A. Hodge,
of New York. propose to ask for a con-
tinuance and as the trial of the case
would likely consume the greater part
of a week, to the exclusion of about
everything else, it is not improbable
Judge Burlington, for expediency sake.

for the continuance. The counsel for
the defendant, James Scarlet. of Dam
willie, and A. ]. Colborn. Jr.. of this

ave the Erie Railroad company against
William Dodge; the same against the
Kingston Coal company, and Margaret
Russell against the Delaware and
Hudson company, the counsel for one
party or the other in each of these
actions being engaged in the United
States circuit court of appeals.
Cases likely to be tried are Walsh
against the Insurance company; Wall
ker against Harvey; Martin against
the Delaware and Hudson company,

Most Of the cases appearing on the
district court calender, hithertofore
printed. are secondary indictments
against parties already tried. All
that remains to be done to dispose Of
these is to have them formally nom
pressed. The Bogert case from Wilkes
Barre is to be continued. This leaves
the illegal liquor selling case against
Simon Narushis. Of this city the only
one of local interest to be tried.
