KNEIsEL QUARTETTE.
It Will Be Heard at the Bicycle Club
Tomorrow Night.

The celebrated Kneisel Quartette will
pay the first visit to Scranton tomor-
row night, when beautiful programme
will be given-a programme such as
probably has never been heard in this
vicinity. There is almost no music like
string quartette, nothing so wildly,
eXquisitely sweet. The four men who
will make this wonderful music have
played in every great city of two con-
tinents and they stand pre-eminent in
chamber music wherever superb artists
are recognized. Such a privilege is one
to be appreciated, and doubtless the
Bicycle club will be thronged to hear
the Knesels.

public, for the poor little waits of the
city and it's suburbs have been the
beneficiaries.

MANY DAMAGE SUITS.
They Are to Be Instituted by oly-
phant Property Owners.

Suits for damages that will aggre-
gate 100000 are to be filed against the
Delaware & Hudson company by prop
erty owners of Olyphant flats. In
jury to property by reason of foods,
which are attributed to the narrowing
of the river by the company form the
basis of the suits.
One OF the suits was started yester-
day by Attorney A. A. Chase. The
plaintiff is Martin Oldendake, truck
gardener and he asks damages in the
sum of $1,000.
His gardens are on the flats a short
distance south of Olyphant. Several
times during the past two years the
river has overfowed its banks just
above his place. The water washed
down on his gardens. destroying vege-
tation and covering the land with mud
and cum. During the past winter
when the big floods were on, the gar
dens were under several feet of water
1t is alleged that the overflow of the
river is due to the action of the COM
pany in encroaching on the river bed
near the railroad bridge. Dirt and
stones. it is claimed, have been dump
ed into the river on the one side,
while on the other the river bed has
been seized upon for mine track.
This so narrows the river that in time
of even ordinary freshets the water
backs up to where the banks are low
along the flats and overfows.
Mr.. Chase is preparing the papers in
a number of the other suits which are
to be brought.

WATER WAS SHUT Off.
Dickson City Water Company Made
Good It's Notice to the Bor-
ough-Citizen's to Meet.

The Dickson City Water company
yesterday shut off the water from the
borough building and all of the hy-
drants of Dickson City borough for the
reason that it has paid nothing for
water during the last two years. In
surance companies carrying insurance
in that borough threaten to increase
the rates or cancel the insurance en-
tirely.
A meeting of the citizens will be held
at $50 tonight in the borough building
to take some action regarding the de-
plorable situation in which the borough
finds itself and which is the outgrowth
of the fight for the contest of the
borough officers which has been going
on for months. The company served
notice three weeks ago that the water
would be shut off unless the bill was
paid. A meeting of the borough coun-
Gil was called for last Friday night to
consider the situation but the Nc
Garrity faction all remained away
their leader declaring that the COM
pany was blufflng.
The company has cut off the pipes
leading to the hydrants and put in a
gate So that when the borough makes
fits peace with the company it will
have to spend about 5000 in connecting
up the hydrants again.
The water company officials declare
that they have not received cent from
the borough in two years. Orders were
given from time to time but the bor-
ough would not pay them, avering it
had no money. Now the borough ad-
mits it has the money but it still re-
fuses to honor the orders. The COM
pany gave three weeks notice of it's
determination to shut off the water
unless the bills were paid

NEAR A SETTLEMENT
Contractors and G. L. U. COMMITTEES
Agree on All Points but One in
Effort to End Long strike.

AT conference held last night be-
tween committee from the Central
Labor union and representatives from
the several contractors comprising the
Builders Exchange, all points at issue
between the carpenters and the con-
traitors, which brought on the strike
which began three years ago and has
continued ever since, We're settled, with
one exception.
The contractors agreed to an eight
hour day and to the wage scale pre-
sented by the committee, the full de-
tails of which scale will not be given
out for the present. The carpenters
want the new terms to so into effect at
once, while the contractors want them
to go into effect some months hence.
1t was on this point that both sides
deadloclled. IT was finally decided, af-
ter the conference had continued until
past midnight, to have another meet
ing on Friday night. 1t seems to be
the concensus of opinion on both sides
that a settlement will be then effected,

A BIG SEASON ASSURED.
Lodore Will Be the Mecca for Elk
cursionists the Coming Season.

All indications point to Lake Iodore
os the most popular of all excursion re-
sorts for the fast-approaching season,
and TO even surpass it's immense busi-
ness of last year. The individual ex-
cursionist prefers lake resort, and the
scenic beauties of Lodore itself, its far
spreading grove, incompatible dance
pavilion, it's merry-go-round, the de-
iiaht of the children, its well-equipped
kitchens, clam oven, refreshment
booths. Spalding ball grounds, naphtha
launches, steamer, large excursion boat
and varied other amusements render 1t
a summer paradise, and at the same
time the most profit-making resort for
churches and societies. There are some
splendid dates left, for the privilege OF
which please apply to w. l.. Pryor,

Hudson Railroad. Scranton, Pa. ~

THE DEAN-MINTON SUIT.
It Is Probable That It Will Consume
the Remainder of the Week.
Orphans Court Matters.

The equity suit Of Dean against
Winton promises now to continue all
week and possibly longer. All of yes
terday was spent in the presentation
Of vouchers by which the plaintiff
seeks to show the amount of money
paid by the Delaware. Lackawanna &;
Western company for coal taken from
the Griffin tract. More than 500 vouch-
ers were presented.
The testimony in the case is being
transcribed as fast as taken, on stem
ographer taking the notes and the
other doing the typewriting. The
Coston's are able to do this because
each can read the others notes quite as
readily as he can his own.

Able Presentation of the Subject by

paper on "Feudalism" at meeting of

in an interesting manner the abuses
and defects which gradually led to it's
abolishment.
