FILING OF MANY NOTES CAISEDSPECULATION Forty Six Persons Are Represented as Owing American Jewelry Company One Thousand Dollars Each. The filing of forty six one thousand dollar judgment notes in Prothonotary Cumming's office yesterday morning created no end of talk in and about the court house. While there may be nothing wrong about the notes in question, yet one or two peculiar circumstances caused some persons, who lool ed the notes over, to say that there was a "nigger in the fence" somewhere who would make his presence known at no distant date. The notes were received by mail yesterday morning accompanied by a certified check for $57.50 to cover the cost of filing. The note is really a long contract, the printing being exceedingly fine in the most important places.

They are in favor of the "American Jewelry Manufacturing company of Wichita, Kansas." The person signing the note gives it as payment for one thousand dollars' worth of jewelry which he must display in a window. The agent, or person selling the jewelry, is required to keep a record of all goods sold and also the names and addresses of the persons to whom it is sold, This information must be mailed to the home office every month. The agent is also required to furnish the names and addresses of one thousands heads of families if the company so requests. The company agrees to take back, at the end of five years, all goods not sold, but during the five years the agent must order enough jewelry every two months to keep the amount he owes the company just one thousand dollars. A part of the note reads as follows: The net amount of this order, one thousand dollars, is due five years after date, per acceptance of even date, with interest and an additional acceptance of same date and amount as collateral security for the first.

But goods hereafter ordered, whether pursuant to this contract or otherwise, are to be remitted for within six months from date of invoice. The person signing the note also agrees to confess judgment for one thousand dollars, with ten per attorney's commission, waiving exemptions, Inquisitions, condemnation and stay of execution. The larger number of the notes filed here are signed by Italian merchants. Some are signed by Germans. One peculiar thing which strikes a person reading the notes is that many of the signatures seemed to have been signed by the same hand.

It Is alleged that a person, whose name appeared on one of the notes, yesterday denied that he ever signed it. It is said that an agent of the company has been working through the valley, and It Is also said that many notes of the same concern were yesterday filed In the court house at Wilkes Barre.

Glofee Warehouse, THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1904. MARRIED SIXTY YEARS Mr.

and Mrs. Nathaniel Hallstead Celebrated Anniversary Manj Friends in Attendance. SKETCH OF THEIR LIVES Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Hallstead of three hundred and twenty Mifflin avenue surrounded by their kin and friends were yesterday the recipients of many congratulations, it being the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage, the eightieth birthday of Mrs.

Hallstead MR. NATHANIEL HALLSTEAD. and the twentieth anniversary of the marraige of their only son Frank Hallstead. A reception was held at the house from three to five o'clock yesterday afternoon and from eight until ten o'clock last evening. The house was prettily decorated in green and white, cut flowers, ferns and autumn foliage, being tastefully arranged iii the various rooms, making the happy home especially attractive.

Such rare occasions are of more than passing interest, and nothing could be more beautiful than the life of this aged couple now enjoying the evening of their long and useful lives as the light of other days still shines in their memories as do the brightly hued flowers in the fields. Many friends called during the afternoon and in the evening, the house being thronged with those who came to pay their respects and offer congratulations. As a few companions of the days of their youth called, tender memories were recalled of the warm hearted esteem and devotion of their younger friends, sons and daughters of those who have since passed away. Bauer's orchestra rendered sweet music during the evening and added much to the general pleasure of the occasion. Among the ladies who assisted in receiving were: Mrs.

Luther Keller, Mrs. Charles Connell, Mrs. D. A. Capwell, Mrs.

D. J. Thomas; Mrs. L. M.

Horton, Mrs. L. R. Steele, Mrs. A.

V. Bower, Mrs. H. J. Hall, Mrs.

Robert F. Y. Pierce, Mrs. A. Collins, Mrs.

S. F. Weyburn and Mrs. W. H.

Pierce As the friends arrived they were met by the reception committee and ushered into the dining room where delicious refrehhmenta were served by the ladies. The dining room was picturesque and unique in its decorations, a particular feature being a bouquet of eixty bridal roses placed in the center of the table, one for each year of wedded life. Shortly after 9 o'clock brief addresses were made by a number present, including Rev. Robert F. Y.

Pierce, D. pastor of the Penn Avenue Baptist church, and Rev. Warren, G. Partridge, D. of Pittsburg, a former pastor of the Penri avenue church, which was first established in the home of Mr.

and Mrs. Hallstead over forty five years ago. Rev. Dr. Pierce in concluding his brief but appropriate and affecting remarks, handed Mr.

and Mrs. Hallstead sixty gold dollars and said: "This is merely a token of the appreciation which we are endeavoring to show to ou. One gold dollar to represent each year of your wedded life. May your Joy and happiness continue and may you be united again in heaven." Among the out of town guests present were: Mr. and Mrs.

Ira Wetherby, of Clifford: Mrs. James Utlcy of Hop bottom: Mrs. Frank Doran and daughter of Hopbottom: Mr. and Mrs. II.

B. Carpenter and daughter of New Mil ford; Mrs. Margaret Guyre of New York city; Mrs. P. S.

Joslln of Carbon dale; Rev. W. P. Helllngs, D.D., of Buffalo: Rev. Wnrren G.

Partridge, D. of Pittsburg: Mr. lilrom. Misses Sarah and Hina Rlvenburg and Mrs, Kmory Green of Clifford; Mrs. Van Tuyle of Pittston; Mrs.

J. C. Decker of Carbondnle, and Mrs. William Van Dnren of Archbald. Nathaniel Hallstead is nn honored resident and straight forward business man of this city.

In all the years that he had been engaged In building and contracting his Integrity and high sense of honor has never been questioned. It was well known that whatever he would undertake to accomplish would be carried out to the letter nnd that jll satisfaction was assured. It would te difficult to find a more popular cltl sen as his friends are numbered not by the hut by the hundred. His paternal grandfather, who came from an old family In this country, was hero of the Revolutionary war nnd went from Ornnge county to Wilkes Iiurre when this state was little better titan a wilderness. He continued to live on a farm In Luzerne county many years.

Alanson, father of Mr. Hullstead, was born on the old homestead there, and early bo ramo familiar with pioneer life. When be arrived ut the age of maturity he went to the Vicinity of Clifford, Hits quchnniia county, utid cleared a tract In the forest, cutting down the first trees on the place. With these logs he built a cabin and later he developed a good farm. A few years before his death he cold the old home, but continued to live In the township until his demise at the age of eighty two yenrs.

Ills wife, Miss Phoebe Wells, like him, was a native of Lucerne county, futher, James Wells, who at one time owned a grist mill near Stroudsburg, was very kind to the prior nnd made It his business to see that the widows and orphans In thnt locality were always supplied with flour. Nathaniel Hallstead was born on i December 26, 1823, at Clifford, Susquehanna county, where his father was a farmer and prominent citizen. He re mained there until twenty three years ofage, aiding his father and learning the carpenter's craft, after which he located in Carbondale, remaining there a number of years, during which time he erected a number of the early dwellings and completed the interior of the city's first court house. On October 20, 1844, he married Miss Fally A. Tatcher, also of Clifford, his native town, Elder Charles Miller performing the ceremony.

Just forty nine years ago last April he moved to the Pine Brook section of the city and later on Franklin avenue, near Lackawanna avenue, close to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad station, which company at that time was the only railroad running in this vicinity, the route, a single track one, running from here to Great Bend. He worked steadily at his trade for lllillllilllllliBiili SiWftiLi I SIRS. NATHANIEL HALLSTEAD. Lathrop Jones, well known coal operators of the time, and others. The streets were laid out in crude fashion.

The stumps of the trees evidences of what was once a wilderness protruded from the ground over which was driven in teams the coal and iron ore which were then the main products of the place. Many incidents are related by Mr. Hallstead of the difficulties encountered in traveling over the old plank roads, through the country, and the days consumed in reaching destinations that are today arrived at in an hour or two by the railroads. Shortly before he built his present home the Penn Avenue Baptist church, which Wednesday evening concluded the forty fifth anniversary of its organization, was formed by Mr. Hallstead and several others.

Four years after its organization he had charge and aided personally in the construction of the present edifice, which has since been greatcly enlarged and altered to meet the requiremnts of its growing congregation. The lots upon which it was erected were purchased at $2,400, nnd today the church property is valued at 000 and over, thus offering a comparison of the worth of property at the time when, Scranton was in its infancy and today. Prior to his connection with the new church, of which he Is still a devout member, he, attended the Hyde Park Baptist church, of which Rev. Mr. Mott was pastor.

With his wife ho enjoys the acquaintance and friendship of many of the early setlers of the city, and both still retain splendid and remarkable activity, and ten years ago celebrated their golden wedding. Interesting to note, Mr. Hallstead has been a total abstainer during his entire life, using neither liquor nor tobacco, and to which he attributes much of his good health and old ago. He wss a member of councils for two terms. Of five children, but two survive, both married, a son, Frank, who has held a responsible position with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad for a quarter of a century, and Mrs.

SIXTY THREE ATTENDED What may justly be called the third frost of th local Democratic campaign was experienced last evening by the party candidates upon their arrival at Mayfield. In an out of the way hall, if hall it may be called, poorly lighted and very dirty, Mr.

Howell gave tongue to the same sentiments and statements that have characterized his speeches during the previous two nights. Th attendance was a little better than at the meeting held at Throop on the previous night. It was better by four men. By actual count ther were present sixty three men. Several boys were again in evidence and they were vry noisy and would not be suppressed.

Mr. Howell's speech was the same as that of the previous evening with the exception that he has evidently ben reading the columns of The Republican very closely. The Republican's truthful reports about political meetings are evidently worrying Mr. Howell. Yesterday he read and digested Mr.

Everett Warren's rattling speech at Jermyn in support of Mr. Dale. Mr. Howell was careful not to accept the challenge of Mr. Warren for a debate on national issues but he' did go out of his way to indulge in personal flings at him, at articles of his wearing apparel, etc.

His intention evidently was to prejudice working men against Mr. Warren by insinuating that he was made of differeni clay than the average mortal. Mr. Howell did not give his reasons for refusing to meet Mr. Warren upon the stump other than to remark that Mr.

Warren is not a candidate. resorting to what was evidently intended to be ridicule Mr. Howell said that he had a volunteer in the person of an old man in Hyde Park suffering with miner's asthma, who, he said, would meet and debate with Mr. Warren at any time or place. Mr.

Howell's weak effort at wit fell as flat as the other statements to which he gave utterance Mr. Howell was followed by Mr. Am merman who made a characteristic speech. It was a cultured and elabor ate effort but It went over the heads of the mn at whom it was aimed. The man who was selected to act as chairman of last evening's meeting brought the party to the hall and then disappeared.

He was standing outside the hall, refusing to come in, it was afterwards explained. What his reasons were no one seemed to know. After a delay of about ten minutes some one in th hall suggested that a chairman be elected from the audience. Patrick McDonald of Mayfield, was finally selected for the place and fitted into it nicely. An amusing feature of this meeting, as of the opening meeting at Dickson City, was the chairman calling upon members of the audience for a speech.

Last evening the representative of the local Democratic organ was called upon for a speech and was quite indignant, refusing upon the grounds that there were present candidates who should talk. The Democratic meetings are demonstrating better than anything else could have done th weakness of the Howell following in portions of the county where he should be strong.
