WITNESSES FROM SCRANTON.
Attended Session of United States
Court in New York.

large number of witnesses from
scranton have been in attendance in
tue United states Circuit court in New
YORK city during the past eight or ten
days for the purpose of testifying i'm
behalf of the Lackawanna road in the
suit brought against the road by E.stcu
T.. Dcvoie, u child of about ten years
of age. A verdict was rendered at the
conclusion of the trial for $4,000 in
favor of The plaintiff who formerly re-
sided with his mother at Stroudsburg.
The cause of action arose on the
night Of November o., 1892, near the
Brilgevilc station on the Lackawanna
road. William Devore was instantly
killed. his wife was badly injured. and
the child was permanently disabled,
physically and mentally. The accident
occurred at Hope crossing. where the
railroad crosses the highway at grade
level The crossing has been for years
a menace to the surrounding commun-
itN, a large number of fatal casualties
having occurred there during the past
fifteen or twenty years by reason, it is
claimed, of the various Instructions be-
tween the highway and the tracks.
There are no gates or fagman at the
crossing.
The case was tried by Tyndall &
Barton. of New York city. for the
plaintiff, and Hamilton Odell for the
defendant. Nearly fifty witnesses were
brought into court during the progress
of the trial. Among those from Scran-
ton were William II. Seeley. Fred Wer-
ner. w. Meserole. Milton Yetter Jack
son L. Stoll and Sandy Stillwell.

IT'S ALL UP WITH THEM.
Jack Tierney Goes Into the Reform
Business and Tackles an "Evil'
That's Worth While.

Day by day, the reform movement
is growing. At the outset there was
not a little fear that many months
must come and so before public SEN
timent would be with the crusaders.
Tie leading newspapers quickly real
lied that the movement was a move
ment that was going to move. and lost
no time in giving it support. In the
wake of the press came the pulpit.
and. as must necessarily be when the
press and pulpit Join, the public
quickly began tn get in behind. Now
IS to be chronicled the crowning con-
version--the acme of acquisitions:
Jack Tierney has turned reformer
and joined in the crusade against the
evil that more than all others has
been assailed by the league-the ille-
gal sale of liquor.
1t was expected all along that Jack
would some day or other be in line.

his entree until there was foe afield

pressed it himself, while he sat dam

said Jack, and the next wink Jack
was rousant and in full chase after

the Stroudsburg brewery first. War

WILL COME TO SCRANTON
1t Is Believed That the State Con-
clave of Knights Templar Will
Be Held Here Next Year.

The members of Coeur de Lion COM
mandery, No. Il. and Melita command
cry, No. 6s, Knights Templar, accom-
panied by Bauer's Thirteenth rcgi-
ment band. will leave this afternoon
at j 10 O'Clock on the Jersey Central
railroad for Reading to attend the con-
claNe of the Grand commandery of the
state to he held in that city tomorrow
and Wednesday,.
1t is expected that at least one hum
dred members of Coeur de Lion COM
nanderE. commanded by Eminent
Commander I'rel w. Warner, and sew
cnty-five members of Melita command
cry, commanded by Eminent Com
nander Walter l.. Hcnwood. will leave
ON the train. They will participate in
the parade to be conducted tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock and will return
to this city late Wednesday night.
Major Y. Frank Penman, OF this city,
Will become at this conclave the grand
commander. which is the highest office
III the state organization. Major
fenman was elected grand junior war
den at the conclavc held in this city
In 1895 and every year since then he
has advanced one grade, until this
year he becomes grand commander
The positions which he has held in
their proper order are as follows:
Grand Junior warden. grand senior
warden. grand captain general. grand
gcneralissimo and deputy grand COM
mander, which latter office he now
holds.
1t is an unwrittcn law in the state
organization that the conclaves shall
hc held in those cities in which the
retiring grand commander lives. This
means that Scranton will probably
have the honor of again entertaining
the knights Templar next spring. as
Major Penman will at that time re-
tire.
Williamspo"t is understood to be anX-
ious to have the cOnclave held within
her borders next year, but the local
members believe that her representa-
tivcs will Withdraw from the fight

being made TO bring the conclave 10

COURT HOUSE IS CROWDED.
Perplexing Question as to How to
Provide for New officials.

Somewhat pcrplcXing to the county
commissioners is the question as to
how To provide quarters for the two
new officials who are soon to come
to the court house.
The orphans court judge must
needs be provided with chambers ON
the first or second floors and there
being no room available on the sec
ond floor, II place will have to be
found for him on the first floor
The county controller cannot avail
himself at once of the auditors Office,
even though it should be decided they
are superseded by him. as they are
always IA year behind in their audit
and will have to work for another
year before they can clear up the
auditing to the day the controller
takes office.
Consequently, the controller, too,
must be supplied with an office, and,
although it is not absolutely essen-
tial that he should be ON the first
floor, il would be inconvenient to have
him on the third floor, and the COM
missioners feet they should find Il
place for him on the first floor.
TO add to the perpleXity, the new
system of government under which
the county will soon be working
makes the register Of wills, the clerk
of the orphans court and delegates
to him charge of the marriage license
docket. This means that the register
will need larger quarters.
one plan being considered is 10
make the grand jury room serve both
as a grand jury room and arbitration
room, and cut up the present arbi-
tration room into two offices. This
would give the required number of
rooms, and all that would remain to
he done would be to re-arrange the
o,iices,
The orphans court judge could be
given the room now utilized by the
clerk of the courts as a marriage Ii
cense room; the two rooms to be
made out of the arbitration room
could be used by register of Wills for
his registry. orphans court and mar
riage license business, and the con-
troller could take the small room now
used by The register.
Tho commissioners will consult
with the judges. it is expected in the
course of few days as to the best
means OF, meeting the difficulty.
