PROPERTY OWNERS win.
Double Track Will Not Be Laid on
Franklin Avenue Dust Yet.
OPINION OF JUDGE GUNsTER
Permission Of the City Should First Have
Been Obtained Before Tracks of SUI
burban Company Were Disturbed.
The Gist of the Opinion.

Judge Gunster yesterday continued,
until further order of the court, the
injunction in the case of G. ]. Babcock
and other property owners of Franklin
avenue against the Scranton Traction
company and Peoples Street Railway
company. This will prevent, for the
present at least, the laying of a double
track on Franklin avenue between
Lackawannna avenue and Spruce
street.
Many nice legal points were raised
by the attorneys for the compliments,
but the majority of these Judge Gun
ster did not think 1t necessary to pass
upon in disposing of the present case.
He decided that the Peoples company
had no right to disturb the track of the
Suburban Railway company without
the permission of the city authorities.
TO lay the double track it had been
track several feet east of its original
position. Judge Gunster held they had
no right to do anything of the kind
even though the Suburban company
did not object. Permission from the
city should first have been obtained.
That Constitutional Provision.
1t was claimed by the complainants
that while the Peoples company by its
charter, had the right to enter the
streets of the city and lay it's tracks
without obtaining permission from the
city authorities, it had forfeited these
rights and accepted the provisions of
the new constitution when it negotiat-
ed the lease Of its lines to the
Scranton Traction company in 1892, un-
der the act of 1887, which is legislation
under the new constitution. The Peo-
pies company, it was held, would not
be entitled to take advantage of this
act without first accepting the provi-
sions of the new constitution. In pass
ing on this point, Judge Gunster says:
Il cannot construe this agreement of
lease between these companies as an
acceptance of the provisions of article
II of the constitution by the Peoples
Street Railway company. There is
nothing in the act of 1887 under which
the Traction company was Incorporate
ed, to indicate that such would be the
effect of contract entered into by II
with company Incorporated prior e
the adoption of the constitution of 1874
The opinion closes as follows:
"The question for me is not so much
the standing of the plaintiffs as the
right Of the defendants to do what they
propose doing. For the reasons already
given I am of the opinion that the in.
junction should be continued until thai
right is made clear The rule is made
absolute, and the injunction heretofore
granted is continued until otherwise
| ordered"

LOCAL INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The retail coal trade has increased 50
per cent. on the output for summer
months and October.
The Greenwood Coal company gave Or
ders the beginning of the present month
to keep No. 2 breaker going at it's full ca
pacity until otherwise ordered.
All the collierier -oerated by the Della
ware and Hudson Canal company are
running on three-quarter time and will
continue so the remainder of November.
Contractors report that since Sept. | the
demand of workingmen for employment
has fallen off very much, which is equiv
alent to the statement that business Is
beginning to boom.
The mines Of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad company
are working steadily. The shortness of
the day prevents them from doing more
than three-quarter time.
People are complaining that the reduc-
ton In the price of flour does not reduce
the price of the loaf as sold over the
counter by the bakers. Flour was never
before much cheaper than 1t is at present
A trip around the city does not give one
the impression that money is tight The
number of new buildings in course of
erection easily justifies the claim that this
has been one Of the busiest seasons in the
building line seen by Scranton in many
years.
A new drying machine was recently
added to the apparatus at the Meadow
Brook Brewing company. The machine
cost $1,000 and 1t is claimed for it that a
saving of $40 day is one of the possibill-
ties in store for those who put faith in 1t
and use 1t. BY new process waste grain
representing $40 worth is reclaimed from
the offal and rendered salable The pro-
prietors Of the brewery are satisfied that
1t does what 1t represents.
Captain w. A. May, of the special COM
mittee appointed by the board of trade to
investigate the merits of the industry
known as the Brooks Gun factory, de-
clares that 1t would be a valuable addi-
ton to Scrantons industries. The gun,
Captain May thinks, is destined to super
sede the fire-arm now in style. Military
men have given Messrs Lewis and Dyer
representatives of the factory, testimon-
als of much weight regarding the appli-
cability Of the ordnance to the army,
The report of the committee will be
heard at the next meeting of the board OF
trade.

FOOLISH MARY MORAN.
She Became Intoxicated and Went to the
Court House and Created a Scene-Now
She Is in Jail for Contempt.


She Is in Jail for Contempt.
Mrs. Mary Moran, a corpulent lady,
who resides at Taylor, created a scene
in the main court room yesterday morn
ing which resulted in her being COM
mitted to the county Jail for contempt
Of court.
Mrs, Moran was accused of keeping a
tippling house and her case was set
down for a hearing before the grand
jury yesterday. Early in the day she
partook freely of the mixture she is
charged with dispensing and then pro-
ceeded to the court house. outside of
the grand jury room she met several Of
the witnesses who have been subpoe-
naed to testify against her, and at them
hurled scandalous and insulting words.
Tipstaff Ritter ordered her to keep
silent and she ran into the district at
torney's Office and began TRADE there.
Mr.. Ritter elected her and in the corri-
dor another outburst of abusive Ian
guage occurred. Then Mr.. Ritter said
he would take her before the court If
she did not subside
do! dare you'll You can take mew
yelled Mrs. Moran in rage.
An instant later she found herself
jerked inside the doors of the main
court room. She sank to the floor and
declared she would go no further.
Tipstaff Anthony Walsh went to Mr..
Ritter's assistance and Mrs. Moran
was carried inside the bar enclosure
and set on her feet, facing Judges Arch
bald and Gunster, who were on the
| bench.
Mr.. Ritter explained the cause of Mrs
Moran's appearance and Judge Arch
bald asked him if he thought the
woman was intoxicated.
"Of course she's drunk; can't any one
see that she is" emphatically answered
Mr.. Ritter.
you're liar You're a !!!*"*!!!.'
fairly screamed Mrs. Moran as she ad-
vanced toward the tipstaff with the
evident intention of getting personal
satisfaction.
Remand her to the custody of the
sheriff until she has become sober, -
said Judge Archibald with great stern
ness, and Mrs. Moran, still vowing
vengeance was led off to the county
Jail.

The First Turnpike.

As pioneers and enigrants scattered
settlements in all directions from the
mother colonies on the Atlantic coast,
roads were made and maintained to them
by taxing all the citizens residing in the
townships. counties and states through
which they passed When public road
was q much used thoroughfarc, demand
ing extraordinary solidity Of roadbed and
the best condition Of repair, a company
was organized, capital was furnished.
and the road was handed over by the
people to the company, who lowered its
grades, bridged its streams. stoned and
drained its wheclway, and when finished
charged each traveller on horse or
wheels toll for each mile travelled
upon it. Thus the public road became q
turnpike, so called because at the places
where the toll was collected there were
poles armed with spikes set across the
road, which turned upon post, a pricky
notice 10 the traveller that he must pay
or stop.
The first turnpike in America was
chartered in 1899 by the Philadelphia
and Lancaster Turnpike company. 1t

why Kentucky Prospers.

I'VE utilize our convicts by making

the good results Of this idea are appar-
