That Trespass Suit.

All of yesterday was taken up with
the trial of the trespass case of the
Northern Coal and Iron company
against the Scranton Gas and Water
company before Judge John p. Kelly
in No. ..
The witnesses examined for the
Northern company were J. II. Fisher,
+. j. Ansden, Superintendent C. r.
Manville and William Frick, all OF
whom gave testimony favorable to the
plaintiff company's contention that IL
owns the ground on which the gas
tanks of the Scranton Gas and Water
company are erected.
Hon. f. n. Willard opened the case
for the defendant company, and the
first witness examined was Hon. AL
fred Hand. the attorney who repre-
sented the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company at the time the Northern
Coal and Iron company built the rail-
road in 1866. He testified as to the
negotiations for the land and the pro-
ceedings before the viewers when the
land was condemned.

the spectacular surprises OF a running
debate. Chandler IL more feared rs
an opponent than any other man. He
has a genius for discovering the vul-
nerable point in the enemys armor,
and he is merciless i'm sending his
weapons home. Both he and Spooner
are invariably good-natured. Neither
of them was ever known to lose his
temper in debate. The best debaters
in the house are Cannon, of Illinois
and Moody, OF Massachusetts.
Congress always has its funny man.
Sometimes there are two or three. Tho
funny man OF this house Is Private
John Allen, of Tupclo. He has held
the position for tho past ten or twelve
years. Before him was Sunset Coz,
whose heart was broken because the
house would not take him seriously
long enough to make him speaker. Al

reputation as humorist. He Is the

they that his reputation on account OF
them is national. one was half an

eloquent criticism of Ambassador Bay
ard, at the time Bovard was making
himself unpopular by his pro-English
remarks at London dinners. The 9th

was spoken after the destruction of
the Maine. Cousins sat silent in his
place for one full term before he ever
opened his mouth. 1t is more than
two years now since he last spoke,
When he takes the floor again he will
have an attentive audience.
The most effective orator In the
house up to the time he was trans
ferred to the senate II little while ago
was Dolliver, OF Iowa. Littleneld, Of
Maine; lands, of Indiana, and Bal
ley, of Texas, are three who have the
oratorical gift. In order to gain con-
spicuous position either in the house
or in the senate, q man must gener-
ally be a good talker. hut It does not

without influence.

Case Has Been Reopened.

Judge II. NJ. Edwards yesterday
made an order reopening the equity
case of Angus Cameron against An
gus c. Gray, to permit of the intro
ductiOn of further testimony 1t was
also ordered that the case be put on
the next equity list.
The suit was with reference TO the
deed for piece of land which GRAY
alleges was given to him by his grand
father. The other heirs dispute this
and say the property belongs to the
estate of Gray's grandfather. At the
former hearing Judge Edwards re-
fused TO admit the testimony of Mrs,
Scurry, of Carbondale, ON the ground
that she was a party In interest. Sub
sequently the judge decided that it was
proper that Mrs. Scurry's testimony
should be admitted and he has re-
opened the case for that purpose.
