PennSy Behind New Lines.

The belief that the Pennsylvania
Railroad is behind the road being built
between Wilkesbarre and Hazleton was
strengthened by an answer filed to the
suit aimed at preventing the completion
OF the road. 1t states that both pas
sengers and freight will be carried,
electricity and steam used as motive
power and that connections will be made
the electric and the steam railroads.
This gives additional weight, also, to
the belief that the Pennsylvania is like
the Cannon Ball Trolley" between the
county seat and Scranton.

Mrs. R. F. Mellon Dead.

Mrs. Robert f, Mellon died yesterday
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John b. Quigley, in Pittsburg
after long and lingering illness.
Death was due to lung trouble, from
which the deceased had suffered severely
for the past two years. Mrs. Mellon
resided In Freeland the greater part of
her life. A few years ago she removed
to Elizabeth, N. j., with her husband
and family, but the climate there was
unsuitable and she returned to town,
Later, when her parents removed to
Pittsburg, she went there in the hope of
improving her health.
Besides her husband, the deceased is
survived by three young children, also
by her parents and several brothers.
The remains will arrive at Hazleton
at o'clock tomorrow morning and will
be taken to the residence of her brother,
James, in Jeddo, from whence the
funeral will take place at o'clock on
Friday morning. A requiem mass will
be read at st. AIMS church and the
interment made at st. AIMS cemetery.

friends by being married at Waverly,
N. Y, on Saturday. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Stephenson at
the Episcopal church. Mr.. Edmunds
left here on Saturday for Buffalo, and
upon his arrival at Waverly stopped off
there. Miss Cunningham was visiting
her sister in that city at the time.
On Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Edmunds left for the Pan-American
Exposition and will spend their honey
moon at Buffalo and Cleveland.
Upon their return they will begin
housekeeping on Adams street.

Ward, OF Plymouth, easily bested Nc
Gee, Of Philadelphia. The fight was
rather tame for the reason that McGee
feared his opponent and not until the
eighth round did any life appear in the
"mill." Ward then rushed matters and
tried to put his man out. There was so
big crowd that every space was filled.
People were present from nearly every
city in the eastern part Of the state.
Ward did the leading and up to the
eighth round few hard blows were struck.
In the ninth and the tenth Ward made
a punching bag of McGee, bnt he stood
ground quite well and took the punish
ment gamely. Had fight gone
another round McGee would probably
have been knocked out.

Indignant Taxpayers.

Foster township taxpayers who are
employed by Coke Bros & Co. are indig-
nant at the action of Tax Collector Abe
Lentz, of Eckley, in stopping their
taxes through the pay office and not
allowing them the per cent rebate
which the law allows on taxes paid
within the first sixty days after recev-
ing the duplicate.
The rebate limit will not expire until
the Goth inst. and the taxes were re-
tained at the pay offices last Saturday.
Unless the tax collector acts promptly
in refunding the overcharge, several of
the victims promise to make matters
warm for the official.

COURT HOUSE
SITE SETTLED
Commissioners Have Right
to Use River Common.
Judge EndIich, of Reading,
Decides as Above. but Op-
ponents Will Take Cues
ton to the Higher Courts.

The opinion in relation to the court
house site question was received in
Wilkesbarre yesterday from Judge &. A.
Endlich, of Reading, who presided in
this county when argument was heard.
The argument on the application for an
injunction to restrain the county com
missioners from building on the river
common site was heard by Judge End
lick some months ago and the opinion
has been expected for some weeks.
The injunction was applied for in behalf
OF DR.. E. Gumpert and others and the
allegation was that the city had no
right to transfer the river common site
to the county, that the site was unfavor-
able and unfit
The opinion decides that under the
acts OF assembly the commissioners have
the right to accept the river common
site and build upon it and the city of
Wilkesbrrre has the right to transfer
the site for the erection OF a court
house, such purpose being within the
intent of the Legislation vesting the city
with the control of the river common.
The opinion is lengthy, taking up fif-
teen typewriter pages.
Judge Rhone, counsel for the appli-
cants for the injunction, states that in
all probability exceptions to the opin-
ion will he flad and IL thasa aro ra
fused by the lower court the case will
be taken to the supreme court. If this
proceeding is resorted to the final de-
cision may not be reached for a year
and half or two years yet. Then it
would take two years more to build the
court house. 1t looks as If there would
be no new structure ready for occu-
pancy for about four years.

THEATRICAL.

''The King Of the Opium Ring" which
proved last season to be one OF the most
successful melodramas that has toured
the country in years, will be here Friday
evening. The play well deserves the
support it receives, for it is well pre-
sented by competent company and the
scenic effects and costumes in the sew
eral acts are very beautiful, represent
ing faithfully much OF Oriental gor
geousness. A phase of Chinese life that
is so little known here in the East is the
theme OF the play. The horrors OF an
opium joint and the uproar of Chinese
theatre, with its clashing cymbals so
dear to the Chinaman's heart, are seen
and heard. A Chinese wedding, most
peculiar ceremony, takes place, the
brides costume surprising in elegance
and beauty anything in our way.
The company selected by Mr.. Blaney
to present the play this season is fully
adequate to the requirements OF the
many strong situations in the thrilling
story told. Several up-to-date special
ties are introduced throughout the
action Of the play. William Schrode,
the famous clown, heads a company of
comedy acrobats.
The attraction next Tuesday evening
will be Long Bros. Pawnee Bill and
May Lilies beautiful military play,
Madeline of Fort Reno" This is the
original, New York company and the
production will be presented here with
the same splendid cast of dramatic
players, beautiful scenery, correct cos
tunes, properties and accessories that it
enjoyed during its successful appear
ance in New York, Boston and other big
cities. The play of Madeline of Fort
Reno" is dramatization from actual
facts and happenings that occurred in
the vicinity of historical Fort Reno
during primitive days and has been
constructed along the lines of "Alice
of old Vincenness," "Arizon," and SINH
lar dramatic successes
All the theatre-going people of Free
land who are classed as lovers OF n ature
will be given rare treat next Wednes-
day evening. At the Grand opera house.
James r. Waite, who for the past
twenty years has held thousands of
audiences spel-bound until the final
curtain, by the mastery manner in
which he with good support has por-
trayed the life in New England as it
exists today, will appear in "Uncle
Terry" William Gill's dramatization of
Charles Clark Munn's famous novel of
the same name. The dramatization and
staging of the novel are the workman
ship of master.
