SURPLUS MAY BE $4,000
It Is Confidently Believed That Clty's
Receipts Will Exceed Expendit-
ures by That Amount.

About the beginning of the present
fiscal year it was figured out by several
persons interested in municipal affairs
that there would be q surplus Of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 at the end of
the year-that is that the receipts
would exceed the amount appropriated
by about that figure.
CITY Controller Costello has been
doing a little figuring OH this matter
recently and while he has not been able
to ascertain the exact figures, he feels
confident the surplus will be rearer
$4,000 than $4,000.
The exact number of liquor licenses
taken out by saloon keepers within the
city limits is not yet known to either
the controller or the city treasurer but
it is understood that the amount which
the city will realize from this source
will be nearly $4,000 more than former
Controller Howell estimated. 1t was
on his estimate of receipts that the
appropriation ordinance was based.
There will be a surplus from other
sources. it is believed, which will bring
the total up to $4,000 and perhaps
more.
Councilmen are already beginning to
hear about this surplus and from pres
ent indications it will not be very long
before ordinances providing for the ap-
preparation of the entire amount will
find their way into councils. A very
large percentage OF the councilmen
have pet schemes which they wish to
put through and for which provision
was not made in the appropriation
ordinance.

A Much Telked-of Improvement.

The stir the New Jersey Centrars re-
cent announcement made in regard to
its hourly trains between New York
and Philadelphia was far reaching.
Very few cities can boast Of such a
train schedule and the beauty of it is,
that it's easily remembered--a train
every hour on the even hour from a.
m. to 6 p. IN.
The locomotives, cars and Pullman
cars are the most modern. the roadbed
is rock ballasted, and as only hard coal
is used there is no smoke or cinders.
Every train runs direct to Reading
Terminal. Philadelphia, without change
and many of them cover the distance in
two hours The Reading route by which
the Philadelphia line is often known, is
not only short way to Philadelphia,
but it is likewise the scenic route. This
service goes into effect on May IS, but
in no way does it impair the fast and
elegant service of the Royal Blue line,
which will run independently of the
Philadelphia line ~

RARE CRIMINAL ACTION,
Wife Arrests Saloon Keeper Who
Sold Liquor to Her Husband-He
Was an Habitual Drunkard.

A criminal action very rare in this
county was yesterday brought against
VIM. Fish, OF Nay Aug. a saloon keep
er, by Mrs. Louise Devne, also of Nay
Aug.
The prosecution is brought under an
act of assembly passed in 1854 which
makes 1t a. misdemeanor for licensed
saloon keeper to sell intoyicants of any
kind to man of Incorporate habits,
providing he has been requested not to
do so by said Incorporate mans wife
or blood relatives. The penalty fix
ed by law for the otfense Is Il fine OF
not less than $40 nor more than $50, or
Imprisonment for not less than thirty
or more than sixty days.
Mrs. Devine set forth in the infor-
nation which she swore out against
Fish. before Mags trate MILAN, that
her husband is an habitual drunkard
and that Fish has persisted in selling
him liquor despite her repeated re-
quests to him to refrain from so doing.
Fish waived hearing and entered
bail for his appearance in court

night BALL GAME,
Immense Crowd Sees Scranton and
Lancaster Play the National
by Electric Light.

Up in the arctic regions, they tell us,
the klondikers are wont to play an oc-
casional game of base ball along to-
ward IL p. M, at certain seasons of
the year. Manager Al. Lawson, OF the
Scranton team, with the aid of his
portable electric light plant, proved to
1000 Scrantonians last night that the
national can be played here at any old
hour, without regard to the bed-t time
Of Old Sol.
The big crowd which went to the
park last night to see q ball game by
electric light, for the first time in
Scranton, entered the gates feeling very
dubious about the quality of ball they
would see. or try to see. Once inside
the grounds though their feelings
changed. Extra powerful arc lights,
on twenty-foot poles, at short inter-
walls, surrounding the playing space Of
the field. made the diamond, not as
bright as midday, to be sure, but
bright enough to make ball playing
possible.
Not more than half a dozen errors
We're made on both sides, and these
were due. it can be safely said, to the
ball, rather than any inability TO see it.
The ball used is one of a size half
again as large as the ordinary ball,
and with Il soft outer covering. On
hard hit or swiftly thrown balls it
proved difficult to hold. 1t was several
time sent to the fence for three bag
gers and homers, and throughout the
entire course of it's flight was visible
to the spectators, except when it rolled
in the grass beyond the line of electric
lights. which. in the field, formed a
semi-circle about seventy-five feet back
of the bases.
If it wasn't for the extreme chilli
ness of the evening, the crowd would
have enjoyed the game much more. AZ
it was. there was no end of applaud
ing. 1t is q real and very interesting
novelty.
Scranton won the game by a score
of eight to six. Kelleher. an amateur
pitcher, was in the box for Scranton,
for five innings, and showed up in
goAl form. He tielded exceptionally
we'll.
Manager Lawson will send his base
ball-by-night apparatus on the road.
1t will be in Wilkes Barre Friday
night.

In Orphans Court.

In the orphans court yesterday, the
hearing in the estate OF Bridget Ryan,
deceased, was continued. Testimony
WAS offered to support the credits
CLAIMED by p. j. Horan, as trustee,
and Il very large number of vouchers
were offered for that purpose. Test-
mony was also taken to show that the
expenditures made by him We're proper
aud legal. The eXceptants contended
that he had no authority to make or
authorize to be paid the charges, and
that he should be surcharged. Special
objection is made TO the allowance of
discount upon note, which was dis
counted at a bank by the trustee and
accountant for the purpose of paying
mortgage against the estate, il being
alleged that the rents, II properly ap-
propriated, We're sufficient TO pay this
Indebtedness. 1t was also alleged by
the eXceptants that many of the items
of expenditure We're not In connection
with the property devised to j. Il. Ryan
and that they are not properly included
in this account. IT was also claimed
that the executor has charged commits
sions for agents employed by him and
also for himself and that such a
double charge is not legally justiflable.
The testimony was not fully concluded,
and the hearing will be continued on
June at Q a. m.

USEFUL INFORMATION.
Merchants Of This City Directly In
terested and Profited.

One of the most practical lessons
taught by the great Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers great consolidation
of shows to every community visited
by them: Suppose they We're to come
into this city and attempt to do busi-
ness without advertising. How much
business would they do as compared
with what they will do when they come
after their heavy advertising? That is
II conundrum that may be answered as
we'll by the ignorant in ordinary things
as we'll as the wise in all things.
Now the principle of advertising is
always the same. The circus people
have their exhibition to sell. They tell
what it is in the most attractive man
ner possible. They do not stint them
selves in the matter of advertising.
The result is known 10 all. The same
proportionate measure of success would
attend the same kind OF advertising of
any kind of business.
1t has been long since it was neces-
sary to use any argument with any sort
of Il successful merchant to induce him
to advertise. The only question now
is how to advertise the best. How can
it be done? Let this be the answer.
Go into any city or town and look up
the biggest business building and the
busiest merchants. 1t is not necessary
for the merchant to have his name on
the door for you to know, even If YOU
are Il stranger in the city. Turn to the
local newspapers and see who occupies
the most advertising space in them.
Then go back to the biggest business
building and read the sign and you will
see the same firm name. There are
scarcely any exceptions to prove this
rule, ii is so general throughout the
country. This show will be exhibited
in this city next Tuesday.

Suits Against Bondsmen.

Mark X. Edgar and G.. f.. Rey-
nolds yesterday began suit against S.
N. Calendar and his bondsmen, j. T..
Calender and Nathan Callender. Both
of the plaintiffs had suits against s. n.
Calender which We're entered April %,
1901. In each case they received ver-
diets amounting to $6i67O.
Calender took an appeal to the SUI
perior court giving bond in the sum
of $1,000 in each case with j. T.. and
Nathan Calender as sureties. On
March II of this year the superior
court sustained the verdict of the court
of this county and an execution was
issued directed against S. n. Calender.
The sheritf's return was that the
judgments could not be collected from
Calender for the reason that he had
nothing to levy on and suits have
therefore been issued against his
Dondsmen

Before all of the testimony for the
plaintiff was heard yesterday in the
trespass case of Il. II. n. Edwards
against DR.. $. p. Longstreet an ami
cable settlement was reached by the
attorneys for the parties and a verdict
for the defendant was returned by the
jury.
In connection with the settlement
statements to the court were made by
Attorneys Warren and Torrey for the
plaintiff and Attorneys Scragg and
o 'Brien for the defendant All agreed
that the case was the outgrowth OF n
misunderstanding among the parties
due to trouble making neighbor The
attorneys for the defendant said that
inasmuch as practically all of the
testimony for the plaintiff had been
heard it was due the defendant that
his position in the events that led up
to the litigation should be made known.
The facts would have been developed
if the case had continued and the de-
fcnse heard.
Dr. Longstreet they said had been
moved by only the best feelings of
friendship and lsindnes toward Mr..
and Mrs. Edwards. He felt interested
employed by the Doctors father when
the doctor was boy. The best evil
dence of his friendship was shown by
the fact that from May 30. 1896, when
the doctor met Mr. Edwards, until 1899
when a deed of the farm was made
by Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards to the doc
tor he had advanced them S1,700 with
out taking scrap of writing of any
kind from them.
Even after the doctor had been in
formed repeatedly that Mr.. Edwards
had made threats against them he did
not desire to have him arrested and
only moved when he was told by his
attorney it was his duty to have Mr..
Edwards arrested. The defense would
show, the attorneys said, that Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwards left the farm of their
own volition and that the rent OF a
house they occupied at Moscow was
paid by DR.. Longstreet
Judge Kelly in addressing the jury
said 1t was gratifying to him to see
an amicable agreement reached in
open court which permitted all of the
parties to go forth without a stain on
their names. The terms of the agree
ment were not made public.
The next case called -was Mrs. Ida
Campbell against James Fl. Hilton.
Mrs. Campbell seeks to recover $125
from Hilton which she says he owes
her for board. The defendant figures
out that he cannot possible owe her
more than S16.25 and that he ought to
be allowed more than that for damage
donoe to his trunk and effects while
in Mrs. CampbelPs possession.
After the jury was sworn Robert T.
koehler. the constable who served the
papers in the case was discovered in
the box and it was decided to dispense
with his services and proceed with
eleven jurors The jury was sent out
adjourning hour and when it reached
the jury room discovered that Joseph
Stout, of Gouldsboro, another Of the
Jurors, was missing. Instead of going
to the jury room to deliberate he start
ed for home. The jury of ten went to
work to agree upon verdict which
will be reported to court this morn
ing.
The ejectment case of Orlando
Rozelle against b. S. Lewis and others
was on all days in the superior
court room before Judge Wheaton.
