The Law Club was thon called to order, and lha following programme received tho attention of the members: 1. "The Lawyer; His Rights, Privileges and Duties," a lecture by lion. E. Merrifleld.

This paper was one of the best that hns yet been read before tho club. It was not only entertaining, and at times brilliant In Its passages, but very instructive as well. It principally discussed tho relative dutlos of judgo and lawyer, and the conduct of counsel in the trial of causes. Tho question for argument was argued by Mossrs. Duhl and Vosburg, and whs as follows: Samuel Collyer was ostensibly trading in business on his own credit, but iu reality had a dormant partner In one John Dudley.

G. W. Fritz. EKWIN FRAUNFELTER'S CASE. The Fruit Merchant Held to Bail in Two Suits.

Erwin Fraunfeltor, whose arrest was mentioned iu The Republican of yesterday morning, passed the night of his arrival in the city in the Mayor's office in charge of officers on the police force. The forenoon was also spent by Fraunfolter in tho room of the Chief of Polico, where he was securely guarded from tho gaze of any curious reporter who might stray in that direction. Miss Campbell, it is alleged, kept him company most of the time during the day, though, as after developments show, she was not under ar rest. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon a hearing in tho matter was had before Alderman Wright. Long before the time for the hearing to commence the magistrate's office was filled with spectators, witnesses and reporters.

Prominent among the lookers on were two women who appeared to be solicitous for Fraunfel ter's welfare. It is understood that one of the women wns tho prisoner's former housekeeper. When the case opened Mr. George Horn appeared for the prosecution and Mr. John B.

Collings for the defense. The action wus brought upon information of Chief Wade, who appeared as prosecutor. The dooument started with the usual legal preliminaries that 'about February or Marc 1H89, at the County of Lackawanna, Erwin Frauufelter was guilty of feloniously receiving stolen goods and disposing of tho same, knowing the same to have been feloniously tnkeu from the various merohants in the city of Scranton, to wit, Dry goods, granite ware, stoves, boots and shoes, hardware and other goods to the amount of three hundred dollars." Mr. Collings objeoted to the heariugou the information on grounds that the merchants who had been referred to were not specified by name. The objection was overruled and the business was opened with the testimony of John Donnelly, who rehearsed much of tho story connected with the robbing of Loouard's hardware store that has been heretofore published.

He said ho had taken goods for Denier to Frauenfelter's cellar on Spruce stroot upon numerous occasions. The goods consisted of granite iron ware, rubber hose, otc. Frauenfelter upon one occasion said that the goods ought to be covered up so that the hired help could not see them. The prisoner had also said that "Johnny" (Denier) could store goods there whenever ho wished to. Cbas.

E. Strong was the next witness called. Ho stated that he was a brother of tho "auctioneer with an iron lung," nnd was present when Frauufelter's household goods were disposed of. Wrong remembered that a lot of iron ware, that was wrapped in papers and had evidently never been used, was offered for salo from Fraunfelter's household effects, nnd also a number of pioces of silks and satins. He noticed during the sale a lot of napkins that had not ueen cut from the original piece or hemmed.

William Bowie, the clork at Gorman's, fol lowed up Strong's testimony with an account ot nis part oi tne transaction, liowie naa taken goods to Frauufelter's for Denier. The articlos consisted of table linen, napkins, towels, stolen from Gorman's 6tore on Wyoming avenue. Fraunfolter once asked Bowie to procure some goods for him. Bowie refused to deliver the articles, but told Fraunfeltor to come up to the store and he would "make the price right. Uowle re lated the circumstance to Denier, and the latter warned Bowie to have nothing to do with Fraunfeltor iu a business way, as be said Frauufelter was a sharper.

Special Officer P. J. Kinney said that he was employed by Fraunfeltor as a watchman during the past summer at the fruit house ou Franklin avenue, and that Denlor had fro qucntly dopositod packnges in the store room early in tho morning. Upon being asked if he had ever seen anything wron with Frauntclter. Kinney stated tlmt he hau not, but he thought that Fraunfelter's asso ciates were rather low.

'You have had trouble with him, have you not inquired Attorney Collings. "Oh, no. No trouble, responded Kinney, "Only he won't pay me what he owes mo." The case closed with Klnnev's evidence and the prisoner was held to bail in the sum of faOU tor appearance at court. A warrant for his arrest on information trlven bv Mr. Leonard was then served on Fraunfeltor.

The bail in this charge was also fixed at $500. A bill for Sheriffs costs amounting to (W5.40 was next produced. The latter bill waa arranged. The circumstances which led to Fraun felter's arrest appear to be somewhat misty. It has beon stated that Fraunfeltor came here willingly with the intention of giving himself up.

11 such wore the case, it would not seem necessary to send officers to gobble him at Dodgetowa nnd take him to the Mnyor's office nud lock the doors and turn off the lights when reporters requested admission. Ihe anxiety oi certain of the officials to rush Into print to defend Marian Campbell, who has been charged of no crime, seems to indicate that Miss Campbell, who hns been prominently mixed up in the affair for no stated purpose, was used ns a decoy to bring the unsuspecting fruit merchant within the clutches of the law. Frauenfelter wns unable to socure bail Immediately aftor the hearing, and was taken to the station house. At a Into hour last night he was still in charge of the polico. Business Notice.

Court yesterday down two opin ions in the injunction cases of the Blakoly Water Company against the Archbald and Pockvillo Water Companies. Although rendered by the full bench, they wcro iu Judge Archbnld's handwriting.

In the case against tho Arohbnld Wator Company court found that tho puipose for which tho defendant company was chartered was to supply the vlllnge of Archbald and vicinity In the township of Blakoly with The borough of Blakely was already at that time erected out of a portion of tho township. Court thinks this charter confers no right to go out of the township into the borough, even though tlio borough may bo iu tho vicinity of Archbald. Tho vicinity to which it is limited is tho vicinity wlthlu tho township named. The plaiiultr Company have tho franchise and tho privilege of supplying water to the borough ot junkery Becoming to the allegations of the bill and affidavits which In tins respect are not denied. It Is entitled to enjoy fur the present the monopoly given by tho statute From tho threatened 'intrusion of tho defendants upon the exclusive privileges pos'iossou uy tuo pmiuiius, mo latter aro entitled to the protection of this court.

It is not necessary to wait until the defendants are ready to supply water tot bo people. They are digging ditches and laying plpos for tho avowed purpose of doing thu, which of Itself, is au Invasion of tho rights of the plaintiff. Court doos not consider It of nnv sneolal purpose that defendants have been supplying water for some time at a point iu the borough of Blakely. This Injunction Is not Intended to compel them to recede from that post ion, und If in form it does, court will ino. Illy It.

lint ttioy can hardly expect to base upon this fact a right whlcn tliey do not Possess tinder their charter to extend thnni selves further into the borough. Nor can court seo Hint upon It they havo sny standing to resist the rights of the plaintiff. The rule Is mndo absolute and injunction continued tiutll further order. Iu the case against tho reckvllle Water Company, court finds that the defendants have an apparent franchise for supplying the Borough of Blakely with water. This franchise may have lain dormant but that does not necessarily forfeit it nor will court at this, stage of the case, if at all, go into the question of its abandonment or loneiiure.

As against the defendants therefore the plain tiffs have no exclusive rights, so tar as we are now able to judge, and cannot maintain the present injunction against them. The rule to continue is discharged and the pre liminary injunction heretofore granted is aisoiveu. Business Notice. Only a few left. Fine Robes and Combination Suits, ton dollars Finlev's.

The terse logic of the effort was cast in tne doctor characteristically unique and simple literary style, evincing the rare genius not only ot expressing profound facts in attractive English, but in such a vein, of artless wit as to excite hearty admiration and approval.
