WON'T BE A
JURY TRIAL
AGREEMENT REACHED IN THE
R1DaEwAY DIVORCE CASE.
It Will Now Take the Usual Course
and Be Heard Before One Of the
Judges--Case of Martin Dolphin
Against the City of Scranton Given
to the Jury-Two Non-suits Were
Granted-orphans' Court Matters.
Marriage Licenses and Court
House News Notes.

One of the sensations of this week
in common pleas court was to be the
trial of the divorce case of Elmer II.
Ridgeway against Mary A. Ridgeway.
The Ridgeways lived in Benton town
ship, near the Susuuehanna line, and
Ridgeway is a well-to-do farmer and
cattle dealer. He sought divorce on
the ground of cruel and barbarous
treatment. Mrs. Ridgeway denied the
charges and asked for trial before a
jury. The case was tried last spring,
and disagreement of the jury re-
suited.
The case is on the list this week for
it's second trial. Yesterday, the parties
got together and an agreement was
reached, by which the request for Il
jury trial Is withdrawn by Mrs. Ridge
way. The case will now take the usual
course and be tried before a Judge.
The charge of adultery will not be
pressed.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing, Attorney Balentine made his argu-
ment in opposition to the request for a
nom suit in the trespass case of Mar
tin Dolphin against the borough of
Dunmore for injuries to his son, Leo,
aged 10 months, which 1t is alleged re-
suited in his death. After listening to
the arguments, Judge Edwards denied
the request, and the defense proceeded
to put in it's evidence. DR.. Reed Burns
of this city, and DR.. Brown, of Dun-
more, were called and testified that
broken hip would not cause pneu-
monia in children. Dennis McDade
and Michael Mcdonnell, former street
commissioners of the borough, testi-
fled that the street where the accident
occurred was in fairly good condition
at the time the boy was hurt Mr.
Burns addressed the jury for the de-
fendant, and Mr.. Balentine for the
plaintiff, and after listening to the
charge of Judge Edwards, the jury re-
tired at o'clock to deliberate.
No appearance being made for the
defendant, verdict of $35.93 in favor
of the plaintiff was taken in the case
of the Scranton Dairy company against
Mary Jane McCawley, an appeal.
Joseph Walker and wife are plaintiffs
in an action in trespass against Con-

Calpln, Mr.. Hammes, ex-Counclman
Joseph +. Evans and James J. Scott.
Joseph +. Evans was made perman-
ent chairman and w. A. Lynott and
Deputy Sheriff John r.. Gaffney, Sec
retaries. The committee on resolutions
was composed Of r. J. Johnson, Joseph
f. Evans, Michael Clarke, John p.
Mahon and w. A. .Lynott. The COM
mittee on permanent organization was
Michael +. Gibbons. p. +. Flynn, NJ. 8.
Lavelle, Henry Walsh and Nicholas
Burke. The resolutions denounced the
"venality" of the Quay machine; en-
dorsed the resolutions of the Democratic
county convention, and extended sym
pathy to the striking miners. They
were adopted with enthusiasm.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization, recommending
| Mr.. Evans for chairman and Mr. Lynott
| for secretary was heartily concurred In
by the retiring chairman and secretary,
| 1t being desirable as they themselves
suggested to have these officers from the
same place as the candidate.
There Is a possibility that an attack
will be made OH the regularity of the
alleged Democratic county convention
held in Music hall, Tuesday The lead
ers of the Flynn faction. who had ma
iority of the delegates, and who were
denied IL voice or vote in the proceed
ings, were in conference with attor-
neys yesterday and may, today. take
steps to have the proceedings of the
Music hall convention annulled.
The fact that the Flynn men were
forcibly prevented from entering the
convention hall until the other side had
gotten the convention machinery in mo-
tion the assumption of the chairman-
ship and appointment of the commit
tees by cx-Shcrif Fahey, and the
wholesale and irregular institution OF
fake contests and oustng of regularly
elected delegates allied with the op-
position gives the Flynn people ground
which they believe is all sufficient to
overturn the Music hall proceedings.
Should proceedings be instituted they
will be tried out in Harrisburg, the
statutes providing that all such liti-
CATION bearing on the legality of con-
ventions at which federal, state or
county officials are nominated shall be
dealt with by the Dauphin county
court.

full in their contemplated contest, it
would put the Music hall nominees in
a sorry plight. BY the time the con-
test would be decided it would likely
be too late to call another convention,
and as a result the Democratic party
would have no place on the ballot, and
the Music hall nominees would have to
be content with a place among the in
dependents in one of the last columns
on the ballot.
The Fahey faction expected, yester-
day, that Attorney Thomas P. Hoban
would unhesitatingly refuse to run on
the ticket nominated at Melvin hall,
but in this they were disappointed. Mr..
Hoban declined to discuss the question
of whether or not he would accept.
When formally notified of his nomina-
ton he will declare himself.

A National Policy.

Fargo Call.
Not only the entire western
press, but hundreds of papers
drought the East, have condemned
the expression of eastern congress-
men against the irrigation of the
arid lands by the government. Rep.
resentatives Grosvenor and Sibley
have been freely criticised by pap
ers in there own states and districts
for their selfish and shortsighted
views in opposing such a national
policy. Not only have the western
states contributed for years to
eastern river and harbor i'm.
provements, but the national treas.
ury has received upwards Of $780,.
100000 from the sale of public
lands west of the Mississippi,
while no government assistance
have extended to the West for its
own internal improvement. The
East, in general, is not unfavorable
to the reclamation of the West,
especially upon the proposed basis
that the actual cost of such recla.
nation shall be put upon the land,
so that the Government will get
back the money advanced.

Eastern People Waking Up.

Editor Crary, of the Crary
Courier, who recently visited the
east, makes the following observa-
ton.
Eastern people are beginning
to wake up to the fact that a farm.
er can get more dollars one year
with another out of an acre of
North Dakota land than they can
out of their high priced Eastern
land-three to one. One good
crop on 100 acres of North Dakota
soil will turn you out more money
than the average Eastern farmer
will make'in half a lifetime"

Downie McPhee, the extensive
theatrical manager, was here Sat-
urday and Sunday to bill his big
company for three nights and a
Saturday matinee, commencing
Thursday evening, March 9th.
Mr. McPhee intended to close the
season next week jim Minnesota,
but a telegram from his minstrel
company at Seattle, stating that
his manager, Mr.. Lauden, had
suddenly disappeared, compelled
him to change his plans. His
theatrical company will close the
season here Saturday night. Mr..
McPhee left on the flyer Sunday
night for Seattle to take charge of
the Minstrel show. He says this
has been a very prosperous season
for him, having cleared $4,000 on
his two companies, and next sea-
son he will have four on the road.
During the summer Mr.. McPhee
has two tent shows on the road
one a circus, making the New
England states and the other an
Uncle Toms Cabin Co., touring
the big cities of Ontario. The
company that will be here this
week is playing to crowded houses
on.;ts return trip from the coast
and giving better satisfaction even
than on the western trip. He has
a number of new people in the
company, and the specialties be-
tween acts are alone worth the
price of admission. Last night
1.-The Great Diamond Robbery
was put on in first class shape,
giving satisfaction to the large
audience. Tonight the roaring
comedy, Uncle ST Hedges" will
be the bill. Saturday afternoon
a matinee will be given entitled,
prince and Lady," prices to all
parts of the house being 25 cents.
Saturday evening, "Arkansaw Ro-
nance will be the bill. Prices to
the night shows will be so and 35
cents. Reserved seats on sale at
Hodgkinson's.
A genuine treat is in store for
theatre goers the first of next week
in the appearances of the Dell
Pringle Company of seventeen
people. They open next Monday
night in the thrilling Spectacular
drama, "The Pulse of New York..
Tuesday night the dramatic version
of Faust" will be given with cleo
trio effects never before witnessed
in Devils Lake, The company
carries two tons of special scenery
adopted to small stages and each
play during the three nights en-
gagement will be properly staged
The troupe travels in its own spec
ial car and carries a splendid brass
band and orchestra. Miss Della
Pringle is one of the leading act
resses now travelling and is sup
ported by q strong company.
They have been playing in Cal
ifornia and Washington during
the winter and are fastening East
to fill engagements in Iowa and
Illinois. Devils Lake and Willis
ton are the only towns in North
Dakota in which this company will
stop and the opportunity to see
something really good should not
be passed up by our amusement
lovers.
