The TRUE REF0RMERS.

In view of the magnificent success of
the True Reformers Association as
shown forth to the world through is
recent anniversary, the lame imputaI
ton that the Negro cannot succeed in
business, falls to the ground. 1t mat
ters not how persistently race recrim-
inators and other demagOgues may
hereafter hug the fond delusion to
their souls that the Negro as business
man is a failure, the splendid achieve

negatiOn.

BILE in its origin, it passed through all
the stages of infantile growth, demon
strating at every step of the way the
high business instinct and capabilIty of
its parentage. The capital, property
and other interests of this organization
represent hundreds and thousands OF
dollars of investments. It Is a monu-

al success of this giant concern is the
same as that which promotes and great

want to be met. and second, there was
a mau equal to the emergency. All
honor to the late lamented W. w.
Brown with whose name the main in

of rrLe Reformers must ever be indis

mention is the name of that splendid
genius whose indOmitat le energy has
so admin ably enabled him to perpetu'

w. Taylor. Regardless of the over
whelming testimony to the NegrO's
cauacity to do business which this great
institution furnishes there will always
be those who from sheer ignorance,

Former Partners Disagree.

An equity suit instituted yesterday
by Attorney George d. Taylor has for
the plaintiff, David Sprulks, and, as de-
fendant, Oswald Jones, the Jones &,
Spruks company and the Scranton Cold
Storage and Warehouse company.
The plaintiff and Oswald Jones were
practically speaking, the Oswald Jones
company, organized in 1898, to conduct
q warehouse and cold storage business.
A plant was built on Sixth street. Two
years later the Jones & Spruks CONF
pany sold out to the Scranton Cold
Storage and Warehouse company,
which whs the Jones & Spruks COM
pany with other prominent wholesale
merchants included.
Mr.. Spruks now alleges that in the
transferring of the stock he was
cheated and that his former partner,
Mr.. Jones, received more than was his
due. He asks that court shall compel
the defendants to deliver to him certi-
tiCates for SS.16 shares of the $50 a
share capital stock, which he claims is
owing him, and that Mr.. Jones be COM
PEELED to return for cancellation 1854
shares which We're allowed him in ex-
cess of what he was entitled to, to-
gether with $500 worth of office fixtures
and $500 in cash which it is alleged
were illegally granted him by the or
iginal company.

CoNBOY PLEADED GUILTY.

James Conboy, is years of age, pied
guilty to the charge of stealing har-
ness from the barn of l.. 7. Garfield,
master car builder of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
Conboy was formerly employed as a
hostler by Mr.. Can" Id He was dis
charged, and one day, while drunk, en-
tered the barn and made off with a
valuable set of harness. Judge Kelly
suspended sentence until the next term
of court.
a mol pros. on payment of costs, was
entered in the case of Charles Whit
ney, William Greenslade and William
McGovern, young men, of Mayfield,
charged with the theft of excursion
tickets from the Delaware and Hudson
station at that place, October 10, last.
One of the party reached through the
window of the ticket office and alb
stracted package of tickets to Wilkes
Barre, which he and the others dis
posed of. Reparation was made. and
the company agreed not to prosecute.
Because no answer was made by
either the prosecutor or defendant. the
case of Joseph Perrin, charged by Mar
garet Wainwaring with malicious mis-
chief, was marked off the list.
A capiaS was issued for M. j. Norton
q former hotelkeeDer, charged with
false pretenses by p. c. Cannon, and
with larceny and receiving by Peter
Cannon, son of the first named prose-
cutor. Norton, 1t Is alleged, induced the
elder Cannon to go his bail in another
criminal case by giving as security a
judgment note and representing he had
unencumbered property sufficient TO
guarantee the payment of the note,
when, in fact, his property was mort
gagged up to its full value. The other
charge against Norton is that he stole
$25 from the pocket of the younger
Cannon, while they We're in u barroom
together.
NOT GUILTY.
C. p. Williams and L. Il. Crawford
of Dunmore, were adjudged not guilty
of assault and battery, as charged by
Mary Johnson. The prosecutrix failed
to appear, and the costs We're placed on
her.
Maria Casey agreed not to prosecute
her husband, John Casey. for assault
and battery, on his promise to stay
away from her, The costs We're placed
ON the county.
A capias was issued for Mumford
De Vaul, charged by Patrick Nc
Namara with assault and battery; Den
mis- McCool, charged by Elizabeth Bar
rett with discharging firearms. and
Alfred Long, charged with larceny and
receiving by Joseph Daley.
The case in which Joseph Stern, a
young Dunmore business man, is
charged with criminal assault on Miss
Sprinca Yurnack, who was a domestic
in his house. Is still on trial before
Judge Weand. The defense was opened
late yesterday afternoon by Attorney
John j. Murphy. He stated that the
charge would be denied: that it would
be shown the prosecutrix brought the
charge through spite for being dis
charged; that the prosecutrix was of
immoral character. and that under the
conditions described by the prosecutrix,
the offense alleged was a physical inn

country in company with the prose-
cutrix last year, will go on the stand,

Because he took too much for grant
ed, William Gordon, of Carbondale
township, is in Il good way to pay
fine of $500 and spend three months in
the county Jail.
Gordon was charged by Bridget
Brady with selling liquor without q
license selling on Sunday and selling
10 minors. Evidence sufficient to war;
rant an Indictment in each case was
presented by the prosecution, but when
the cases We're called for trial yester-
day, before Judge Edwards, she had no
testimony whatever to offer to sustain
the charges OF selling on Sunday and
selling to minors, and in the other case
she would only permit herself to say
that she got pail of beer once ut Cor
don's house, but did not pay for it.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas
got her to admit that the beer was to
be paid for later, This constituted Il
purchase. and Judge Edwards so
charged the jury. The defense being
satisfied that no case had been made
out, refrained from putting in any evil
dence. This left the jury with nothing
to do but find Gordon guilty. 1t was
charged in his presence that he sold
beer, and he made no denial.
HAD PATCHED 1T UP.
1t was apparently believed by the
jury that the parties had supposedly
patched the thing up, and that the
meagre testimony offered by the prose-
cution was for the purpose of having
the costs placed on the county. The
jury, after finding Gordon guilty in the
one case put the costs of the other two
cases on the prosecutriX.
Dallis Huff was found guilty of the
charge of cruelty to animals, preferred
by Liveryman A. r., McDonOugh, of
Dunmore, and sentenced by Judge
Kelly TO sixty days in the county jail.

the outfit in a dilapidated condition.
The horse was foundered, and bore evil
dences of having been brutally beaten,
while the carriage was broken in many
places.
Thomas Morgan, of Carbondale, was
defendant in case in which he was
charged with assault and battery on
his mother-in-law Mrs. Margaret e.
Thomas. She failed to appear, Nom
day, and again yesterday, and a YER
diet of not guilty was consequently en-
tered, with the costs on the prosecutrix.

rected to enter in the case in which
