'O'BOYLE STILL CITY CLERK.

Judge Woodward Continues the Junction Against Captain Plane very. A decision was handed down by Judge Woodward yesterday in the injunction proceedings brought by John P. Kearney, a Pittaton councliman, against Capt. John Flannery, recently elected city clerk of Pittston. The decision, which is against Flannery, decides that J.

P. O'Boyle is still city clerk, and is as followa: "On the frat day of April, 1896, J. P. 'Boyle was duly elected city clerk of the city of Pittaton for the term of one year. So far as appears from the evidence submitted Mr.

'Boyle da still the Incumbent of the office in question. It is true that at a meeting of the common council of the city of Pittston on Dec. 20, 1895, a paper purporting to be resignation of his office by Mr. O'Boyle1 was presented and ordered fled. This paper was afterwards back to Mr.

O'Boyle by Myers, the acting clerk, and no record of it appears upon the minute book. 'Nor does it appear that the resignation has been accepted or that any action whatever in relation to it has been taken by either branch of the city council. It is clear therefore that no vacancy in the office of city clerk existed on Dee. 30, time the election of John T. Flannery, the defendant in the bill, is claimed to have taken place.

To the fact thus presented the case of Updegraft vs. Craus et al. does not apply. The right to restrain by Injunction all acts that are contrary to law, and prejudicial to the interests of the community, is vested in the courts. And it would seem that an attempt to by appointment, an office of a the municipal time character which there is at an incumbent, whose resignation has not been accepted, was premature and Illegal.

The motion to continue the injunction is granted and the injunction continued." PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

The committee stated that the employes were not satisfied with the decision of the company relative to the desired increase in wages, and they also touched upon other matters in the company's answer. Mr. Silliman dwelt at some length on the attitude taken by the company on the several questions, and.

explained, more freely than had been done in the circular, the reason for the company's position in the several cases. The meeting was a harmonious one, but there was no change in the position of company or men. The committee left about 11 o'clock.

Pensions for Lehigh Valley Men. The Lehigh Valley R. R. has established a pension fund for superannuated and injured employes. The money for the fund is derived from the passenger fares of the employes of the company and their familles.

Up to several months ago It was customary to furnish free transportation to the employes and their familles, but this privilege was abused, and the officials decided to withdraw it and make a low rate of a half cent a mile instead. The receipts from this source were so large that the directors subsequently decided to set aside one-half of the receipts from this source as pension fund. The working details of the plan have not yet been fully completed, and the management of it is at present in charge of second vice president Robert H. Sayre and general superintendent Rolin H. Wilbur.
