Might be Misleading.

To The Expositor:-
In last weeks issue of your valuable
paper under the head of "Savoy VS..
Houghton" there appeared an article
which might be considered misleading
in some respects. This fact is un-
doubtedly due to the anxiety of the
person furnishing the facts to make
the finding of Judge Atkinson ap-
pear as a complete victory for the
defense in the case. The finding of the
court, which had not been exhibited at
the time last weeks article was written,
reads in conclusion as follows: Il make
this order without prejudice because l
understand that the defendant is ready
to execute mortgage to the complain
ant for the purpose OF securing per-
formance of the equitable intentions
which can be inferred from the differ
ent papers, and the relation of the
parties, and If such paper is executed
pledging the property to the complain
ant for his support and maintenance
under any and all conditions, even
though it should require its sale, and
provide for his good care in last sick
ness, respectable burial, a reasonable
monument for himself and wife, and

opinion that the litigation was institut-
ed in good faith and that the defendant
should pay the expenses of the COM
plainant's witnesses and should pay
out of the estate one hundred dollars
attorneys fees to the complainant's
solicitors and such concession should
be made in the decree or mortgage"
There had never been an offer on the
part of Mr.. Houghton to make a mort
gage as the court suggests with the
provisions stated in the finding or it
would have been accepted by the COM
plainant's solicitors. Their only object
was, what the object of any reputable
attorney should be, the best ultimate
benefit of his client, and it is quite
probable, in view of the foolish act on
the old mans part of deciding his prop
erty to Mary J. Sleight, after suit was
instituted, the complainants interests
will be best preserved by the carrying
out of the decree of the court. The
solicitors for the complainant are quite
satisfied with the result, if the finding
of the court is properly incorporated in
the decree. We might add that the
undersigned were the only local attor-
neys appearing in the case, the defend
ant being represented by Judge
Stevens of Port Huron.

Mary p. Clark, and to them four chill
dren were born, two of whom are dead.
The surviving children are 4. p. Curri-
er and Mrs. VIM. Ovens, both residents
of Yale. His first wife died over IL
years ago, and he afterwards married
his brothers widow, Mrs. Mahala Cur
rier, who survives him. Deceased was

mont he was successfully engaged in

The Yale Yard stick.

From the village Assessors report as
noted in our last issue, it would be ap-
proximately safe to estimate the selling
price of all the money and property of
every kind in Yale at $500, 900. Taking
that for unit of value measure, we can
by comparison at least have sight
consciousness of what it is to be mil
lionaire. At the above estimatea man
worth 81 900, 900 could buy two Yales.
A man whose pile was 100000, 900
could buy four hundred Yales. If a
man was 500 times q millionaire, he
could buy 900 Yales.

EFFECT ON THE
RAILROAD MEN

Reports to the effect that all the
railroads centering here have reduced
their number of crews on account of
the shortage of coal resulting from the
strike are just a little premature. Such
u thing however. will eventually come.
TrainmaSter T.. NJ. Rine, of the
LaCkawanna, said yesterday there
had been TO crews laid off as vet, but
what may occur he would not attempt
to prophecy. If there is no coal to
haul, he said, there will. of course, be
no coal trains. and if there are no coal
trains there will be no necessity for
coal train crews. As yet, Mr.. Rine
said, the company does not Contem-
plate lcssening it's crews.
Should it come TO pass that the col
lieries would be completely shut down
for any considerable period hundreds
of men all along the line of the Lacka-
wanna and Delaware and Hudson
would he thrown idle.
Most of the talk Of the railroad men
refusing to handle cars containing
either soft coal for this immediate
region or coal from the local collieries
that is mined after tomorrow, is moth
ing more or less than idle talk.
A man or crew who would do this
sort of thing would be disciplined by
his brotherhood. as well as by the
company, for by such action he would
be 10 all intents and purposes going
on strife, and under the constitution
of the railroad brothsrhoods it's as
great an oftense for men to strike
without authorization of the national
officers, as it is for them to remain
at work after 4 strike is ordered. Be-
fore a strike can be authorized it must

sity demand It, these parties could
open up q private mine in their back
yards and secure a good and plentiful
coal supply.
The Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western company has been storing
coal for some time past in anticipation
of the strike, and claims to be able to
supply its own needs for long period.
1t will ship little or no steam coal In
case of a general tie-up.
Up to the present the companies
have been filling all orders. but from
now on the Lackawanna and Delaware
and Hudson will, IL Is understood,
make shipments very sparlngly.
The Delaware and Hudson company
made no large consignments Saturday,
but instead diverted all coal that came
into its Carbondale yard to the pockets
at Anthracite park. and the storage
plant at Delanson, n. Y. No coal was
shipped over the Honesdale or Erie
branches after noon, Saturday.
New York city dealers say they will
continue to sell anthracite coal to their
regular trade at the old price of s. a
ton as long as their stocks last. and
all have large stocks on hand, as a re-
suit of their correctly anticipating the
strike. One dealer said:
'1f the customers will only refrain
from making unusual demands on us,
and not try to lay in an extra large
stock, because they see trouble ahead,
we can sell coal right along without
raising the prices, until the middle Of
October. This in reality means that
we can place lots of householders out
of danger of coal shortage for the
entire winter, for lots of persons lay
in winter stock in September and we
have them in mind when we say that
we can supply our regular trade for a
month. Other dealers. too. have been
storing coal and l suppose that they,
too. have planned to care for their
trade"
One serious effect a general tie-up
would have would be to shut out the
Pennsylvania anthracite region from
all hope of sharing in the new market
that is being opened up by the coal
famine in Europe.

FEAR OF A COAL
FAMINE In SCRANTON

Should the strike continue for sew
eral months and the tie-up be COM
plete, Scranton is liable to suffer as
much from scarcity of coal for domes-
tic purposes as cities far Hlstant frsm
the coal fields. The fact that the coal
chutes have been generally closed to
retail trade and that the local delivery
companies on Saturday would not give
any assurance of being able TO fill an
order inside OF two weeks, because of
the rush of prior orders, are significant
when taken together
In the suburbs, last week, the culm
dumps were dotted with men, women
and children, picking coal from the
refuse. 1t Is said they will be pre-
vented from doing this after today.

sUsPENDINa CREDIT BUSINESS.
Wholesalers and Retailers Take the
Matter Up.

A meeting of the Scranton Whole
sale Merchants association was held
Saturday in the associations rooms in
the Matthews & Co. building on lower
Lackawanna avenue. The question OF
suspending credit during the strike
was discussed. but action was post
poned until today.
Some members favored closing down
entirely on credit trade, while others
favored a rule limiting credit to week
or two weeks, with heavy penalizing
on any wholesaler who would extend
credit to any party beyond that time,
or dealing in any way with parties who
owed other merchants.
The Retail Grocers' association, COM
posed of many of the central city deal
ers, adopted a resolution shutting off
all credit after today and during the
continuance of the strike.
