Terry, of the Wyoming county courts, yesterday handed down an opinion In the famous timber case of Harper W. Agnew against the Albert Lewis Lumber Co. affirming the verdict of $3,750 in favor of the plaintiff, overruling the motion of the defendant for Judgment non obstante verdicto and directing that judgment be entered for the plaintiff on the verdict upon payment of the jury fee. The suit was tried last March In the common pleas court of Luzerne county before Judge Terry, who was especially called to try the case as all of the Luzerne county judges had been previously connected with either side as attorneys or advisers. The trial lasted two weeks and a large amount of evidence was offered and the jury rendered a verdict In favor of the plaintiff for $3,750. i ■ i The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Huntley, of Plainsvllle, was the scene of a delightful social event, last evening, when a party of friends to the number of 35 tendered Mrs. Huntley a most pleasant surprise partyt In honor of her birthday anniversary. Mr. and Mrs.. Huntley -were former residents of this place and the gathering was composed almost wholly of Plttston people. The evening was most pleasantly spent, games, music and social diversions being indulged In. A most pleasing feature of the evening's entertainment were the piano selections rendered by Miss Mabel Brown, of Oregon. As a token of regard for Mrs. Huntley, the guests presented her with a beautiful china chocolate set. Choice refreshments were served.

William Wagner, of Upper Pittston, died suddenly In Coxton yard last evening while waiting for the service train after completing 'his day's work. Prior to being stricken down he did not complain of any illness. Mr. Wagner was a man about 64 years old and had worked In Coxton for a long time. He was employed in th» round house and was about his duties as usual yesterday. After work for the day had been concluded ho walked with several other workmen toward the train that carries the yard employes to point;! down the line. He stood waiting for starting time and was suddenly seen to pitch forward to the ground. Several men who had been standing near by rushed forward to him, only to find him unconscious. Within three minutes he diod. The body was placed aboard the train and taken to the Junction, where an undertaker took charge of it. Off. Birmingham.

New York, Oct. 10.—Extreme anxiety was expressed bere for the fate of Havana and other cities lnXJuba when It becamc known that for many hours a fearful storm had Interrupted cable communication between the island and the United States and that the last message received from the Cnban capital said the storm had assumed the proportions of a cyclone. In that message, which was cut short with abruptness that Increased the fears at this end of the wire, the Havana operator snld the storm was beating furiously on the cable ,hut and was breaking down the inland wires. Apparently his own line gave way under the fury of the tempest at that point, or perhaps the hut was destroyed or the operator killed. Washington, Oct. 19. — President Roosevelt had a long conference with Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon, who made a full report of all that occurred In Cuba since the United States government Intervened to restore order on the island. New York, Oct. 10.—One of the most startling statements tii the present political campaign in this state was made when Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Ilall, publicly declared that money had bet in - demanded by representatives of the Independence league In consideration of the withdrawal of their candidates in certain districts. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 19.—The boarding house of Mrs. E. E. Moody, on Third avenue, was burned at 3 o'clock this morning, and nearly a score of lives were lost. The house was a two-story ten room frame structure, and was used as a lodging house by street car men. The landlady believes It was set on Are.

The suit was to recover damages from the Albert Lewis Lumber Co: for cutting and removing timber from the land of the plaintiff without the lattcr's consent or permission. The land Is located at the foot of North Mountain and the plaintiff asked for triple damages under the act of assembly of 1824, which provides that when timber Is cut and removed from land without the authority of the owner the latter can recover triple value for the timber so removed. The defendant company endeavored to prove that it owned the land through purchase. Attorneys James L. Lenahan and Q. A. Gates were counsel for the plaintiff, while Attorneys A. H. McCltntock, George R. Bedford and John T. Lenahan represented the defense. The defendants will probably take the case to the higher courts. Big Investigation Into Pittstown Twp. Affairs. The condition of affairs and the views of the officials as to the future "were taken up with a view to a thorough understanding of the situation by the president The financial feature of the Intervention also was talked of and the question of the appointment of a fiscal agent for the United States In the island discussed. It Is expected that some responsible hanking Institution will be selected for this purpose. Mr. Murphy was subsequently sorvad wltli a subpoena to appear before the grand jury in a "John Doe" proceeding and testify as to his charges. Mr. Wagner, who was a resident of Upper Plttston for many years, was a much respected man. He was an old railroad man and was very well known among the Lehigh Valley workers. lie resided with his family on Cornelia street. His widow, one son, Peter, a Lehigh Valley fireman, and one daughter, Anna, survive him. The body of W. H. Livingston, a rolling mill man, was found after it was burned to a crisp, hanging out of a second story window where he evidently tried to escape. Six other dead and charred bodies have been found. Two were found in a hallway near the front door, indicating that they were trying to escape. Four others were on a stairway. None of them can be recognized. Seven others are missing and the debris is being searched. C. E. Tentch, a motorman, and G. W. Troutman, a street car conductor, Jumped from the second story and are in a hospital badly Injured. The subpoena was Issued by District Attorney Jerome ofter a conference with Judge Otto A. Itosalsky of the court of general sessions. The Taxpayers' Association Promises Sonuctliiiig Sensational—Fraudu- lent Judgments Are Being In his statement Mr. Murphy asserted that certain Independence league men had demanded money for the withdrawal of their candidates In congressional, seuatorlol and assembly districts where a third ticket had been put in the field. Looked Inti—Taxpayers' Neither the president nor those who conferred with him were willing to make more than a general statement regarding the conference. Man Says "Wfo Have The funeral will be held on Monday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock. Services will he conducted at the family homo by Rev. C. M. Surdam. Interment will bo made In West Plttston the Goods." Meanwhile fears almost as grave were expressed for Miami, Fla., which was struck by the cyclone and cut off from Jacksonville. The same dramatic incident marked the Interruption of the domestic telegraph as In the cuse of the cable service. In the instant when the Miami-Jacksonville line was broken the Miami operator was describing the progress of the storm. His last sentence ran that a hurricane had pounced on the city, flooding many streets, inflicting great damage and covering the floor of the telegraph office with two feet of water. The Taxpayers' association Is going to conduct a rigid investigation Into the past affairs of Pittston township administration. Association officers have been on a still hunt for some time past and feel certain that they will be able not only to throw the light of investigation on a mass of official corruption but that they will also be able to fix responsibility for the misdeeds of township officers and to bring to justice many of the men responsible for the deplorable condition of the township. The investigation is promised to be most thorough and the officers of the Taxpayers' association feel certain that it will have decisive results. Speaking generally of the results of his mission to Cuba and the prospects for the political future of that Island, the secretary said that success had been attained in one important point at least—namely, the fighting had been stopped, and he did not believe that it would be renewed even after the withdrawal of the American forces. It had been a difficult and dangerous situation for a time, as the commission hod had to deal with an undisciplined force of perhaps 20,000 men under arms and scattered about the Island, making it difficult to reach them directly. It was the real purpose of summoning General Funston to Cuba to assist in this work, for which he ■was peculiarly qualified owing to his acquaintance with many of the leading spirits 011 both sides und in which he ■was entirely successful. No More Fighting Expected. ccmetery Hearst Not Accused. CLOSE COMPETITIONS. lie added, however, that William K. Ilearst, the Independence league and Democratic candidate for governor, knew absolutely nothing of what was going on In this connection. WANTS $75 PER LIGHT WATCHMAN KILLED. The dead body of Patrick Tolan, night watchman at the Maple street D. & H. crossing, in Scranton, was found about ten yards south of his shanty, at four o'clock this morning. His skull was fractured and both legs broken. The indications were that he had been struck by a train. Tolan was rD4 years of age and lived in Pine Brook. Successful Meeting Conducted by Class No. 4. The Independence league headquarters officials have made a positive denial of Mr. Murphy's charges, adding that if any one connected with the organization had attempted to "hold up" candidates they would be glad to know of It.

Evening. Unlikely "You bet we have." Last evening's literary and musical competitive meeting in the Welsh Congregational church, was without doubt the most successful in every respect that has ever been conducted by Class No. 4. The attendance was large, the selections for competition were 'want' excellent, and the adjudicators both agreed that the competitions were especially line. Besides, the programme was carried out so smoothly as to retlect much credit on the officers and the committee of arrangements.The Citizens' Electric Illuminating Co. lias presented the city with a bill for light service for i3 months, from July 1, 1905, to August 1, 1906. Or- UlnarHy the presentation of a bill for lighting service is of no particular importance, but the bill between the dates mentioned above 1s an exception to the ordinary rule and will In all probability be the cause of a law suit. In this cose the question will be whether the city should pay for ifs service at the rate of $7& a year for arc lights between two dates or at the rate of $60 a year. Unless the management of the company reduces its price to the city's figure, namely ICO a year per arc light, it is almost certain that the bill will be thrown into court. Business men with Interests in Cuba expressed grave alarm, and their worry was Increased when attempts to communicate with the Island republic through Mexico proved futile. Definite knowledge of heavy loss might not have been as hard to stand as the baffling conditions that confronted all who tried to obtain news of the storm's havoc in Havana and at other points. The direct cause of the investigation is a marshal now being made of the finances of the township. Attorney Charles McHugh, of Wilkesbarre, is the commissioner, and has been working for the past two years with the indebtedness. The next hearing will be hfeld tomorrow' afternoon at 1 o'clock in court room No. 1. The Taxpayers' association has reason to believe that a large number of transcripts of judgment that have been presented to the commissioner are false and that the work they purport to represent was never done. One object of the Investigation, which is even now in progress, is to prevent the pilfering of the township by persons presenting false orders and Judgments and another is to place the guilt for the past crookedness of the township affairs where It belongs. In answer to the question as to how long It would take to install the new governincnt'after the elections the secretary said he believed three or four weeks would suffice. Beyond admitting that subpoenas had been Issued for Messrs Murijliy and Shober and that he would personally conduct the hearing District Attorney Jerome would say nothing. SPECIAL NOTICES. jt, rMjcs to Bo Withdrawn. Relatlve'to the disposition military and naval forces In Cuba, he said that it had been decided to withdraw ns soon ns possible a number of marines now in the island. There was a force there now of about 2.400 marines, and all but about 400 or 500 were to be withdrawn, most of them coming to the navy yards and stations whotice they had gone. The few retained in Cuba, now in the interior, would be particularly useful In towns and ports off the railways. As the marines were called away they would be replaced by soldiers, and the number of these, originally fixed at 5,1100 then, would probably lie increased to absut 7,000. Wjateh repairing guaranteed. M Yaseen Hearst Makes Statement. A dispatch from Ogdensburg says that Mr. Hearst wns shown Mr. Murphy's statement. Mr. Hearst said: Florida Coast 8trick*n. Eye goggles for the railroaders— The storm was evidently approach Ing Its worst in Havana when the last information from the cable operatoi arrived here. The big blow was described in Washington dispatches as "a tropical dlsturlDance of small diameter, but of great severity In and neai the vortex." It Jumped to the Florida coast and caused much damage there. St. Augustine's streets along the bay front were under water, and reports from other points along the coast showed that the hurricane was Increasing in severity. The tremendous wind was accompanied by a downpour usually experienced only in the heart 01 the tropics. It was not long ere all the wires soutli of Jacksonville were down, and as Miami is 800 miles below that city there was little hope of news from there until telegraphic communication could be restored. a comfort for the eyes.

On the other hand, in many places the league had nominated in dependent candidates for the senate and assembly and in some places for congress. It has made independent nominations where the Democratic candidates did not appear to be of n character to carry out the principles to which the league Is pledged and In some other cases to give adequate representation to labor, the Importance of which neither one of the other parties lias sufficiently recognized. Where these independent candidates are in the field they are likely to be elected, and consequently It Is natural that the managers of either one of the old parties should seek to oppose them by every campaign trick or discreditable method. HOME KILLED VS WESTERN KILLED The difference of opinion regarding the price for lighting is a result of the recent memorable electric light light. The old contract between the city and the Citizens' company for street lighting. »t $75 per arc lamp per year, expired July X, 1905. Shortly before the expiration of the contract councils prepared to award a now contract. New bidders appeared on the scene, when bids were called for, councils split into factions, and the result was that a year was spent before a new contract was entered into with the Citizens' Co., the successful bidder. By the new agreement the city gets arc lights for $60 per light per year for the next live years. There Is a vast difference between the quality in home dressed fresh The president, Mr. Jones, delivered a brief address at the opening of the programme, in which he reviewed the history of the Welsh people as related to music, and showed how their love for music had been transplanted to America, where.highly successful eisteddfods and literary meetings are being conducted from time to time. John Jordan, a past supervisor of the township, was called before members of the association yesterday and shown some orders that bore his signature and that have been presented to the commissioner. He refused to say that his signature had been forged to the orders, but stated that he had absolutely no recollection of any of the persons to whom the orders had been made out. Other ex-officials are to be subpoenaed to appear before the association officers and give testimony of their connection with township affairs. meats and the kind dressed at the big western packing houses, Although the market is almost entirely in the The secretary declined to say what proportion of the expense of this army would be charged against Cuban revenues, but said that question would be treated in a special order which he would soon Issue.

Stanley Anxiety was heightened by the frank admission of the weather bureau in Washington that the storm held greater danger for ships at sen. It was announced officially from the headquarters of the meteorological service that it would be hazardous for even the largest vessels to navigate In the Atlautic anywhere off the lower Atlantic coast. The storin when last observed was moving north by northeast, which direction was likely to take it clear of north Atlantic ports, but tended to make It bisect the steamship lines between the United States and Europe. A Gazette reporter interviewed Mr. Hartman this afternoon. Mr. Hartman did not care to speak at length regarding the pljtti of action mapped out by the association, but he had no hesitancy In making the general statement that a thorough investigation was to be made and that If affairs should turn out as expected criminal prosecutions would certainly follow. HALLOCK'S MEAT MARKET Soprano solo—Miss Elsie Jones. As is well remembered, councils, in drawing up an.ordinance providing for a contract stipulated that, in case of the awarding of contract to the Citizens' Co., it should date from July 1, 1906.

But if he has no such evidence the statement is unworthy of bellet and should react upon its author. Points Out Murphy's Duty. There was no longer need for maintaining a naval force of any amount In Cuban waters, so he had recommended to the president, who had approved the suggestion, that nil of the warships now there be withdrawn with the exception of two or three of the small gunboats, which might be needed to keep up communication with the various seaports where marines0 were stationed. The necessary orders to this effect were given out at once. The army transport service, however, would lie maintained. Baritone solo—Prize divided between David Campbell and John Gravell.

The question is now: Can the Citizens' Electric Illuminating Co. collect for the period in question at the old rate of service, despite the fact that it expressed a willingness, by bidding, to furnish light during the period for $60 per arc light? This question came up before the auditing committee and the committee promptly refused to approve the bill. Councils have not yet got hold of the matter, but It Is almost certain that they will coincide in the action of the auditing committee. The matter win then be "up" to the company.

The jury In the damage suit of Alderman Masterson, of WSlkesbarre, against the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co., rendered a verdict for $1,250 In favor of the plaintiff. Alderman Masterson had brought suit to recover damages In his property on North Pennsylvania avenue, Wllkesbnrre, due to the railroad company's sewer In the old canal bod being too small to carry off the surface water during severe storms and, becoming 'blocked, caused the water to back over that thoroughfare and flooded his property more than a score of times since 1901. There are other similar suits awaiting trial and this was a test case. The counsel for the plaintiff were Attorneys James L. Lenahan and John F. O'Neill, while the defense was represented by Woodward, Darling & Morris and Congressman Palmer. The defense will ask for a new trial. Miss Agatha Massaluskl, of Scranton, was tried in the criminal court of Lackawanna county yesterday on the charge of having concealed the death of an illegitimate child at her home on Parker street, in that city, last June. The dead body of the child was discovered buried in the cellar of the house that she and her folks had vacated some time before. The detectives finally learned that she had given birth to the child three months before and on being arrested she admitted that the body was that of her child and that she had burled It in the cellar. In court yesterday she admitted that she was the mother of the child but no evidence was offered that it had been born alive or that she had concealed its death. Consequently a nolle prosequi was entered In the case. Stanley Adarcavage, a Lithuanian, pleaded guilty to being the father of the woman's child and was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs.
