AMI from collecting the assessment
levied or proposed to be levied.
The gist Of the opinion on the ques-
tiou is that the complaint of the pIsin-
tiffs, that they will have to help hear
the expense OF sewer laid in streets on
which their property does not sbut, Is
not true In one sense, but the evidence
shows the section to be constructed is
virtually one sewer and Rbutt0d by all
the property in the district. They also
claim that ordinance under which the
Improvement was being prosecuted is
invalid, but the Judge decides other
wise.

Yesterday was motion day In court.
which is the day set apart during mid
summer in order that the bench may
clear away accumulated business be-
fore the fall term opens. All three
judges sat during the day and an i'm
mense amount Of business was trans
acted.
The large number of lengthy and i'm
portant decisions handed down shows
that the judges have NOS been idle dur.
ing the summer vacation. Some Of
these opinions no doubt required care
full and lengthy research and no small
amount OF manual labor. Subjoined
will be found the substance Of the
days transactions.

Rsv Father Reilly, rector Of the
cathedral, stated yesterday that there
was no truth in the rumor that the
bishop had asked to be removed to
Scranton that he might die in his
room. He never made such request,

MEDICAL AID CONVENIENT.
The bishop will be allowed to remain
at Cape May. where everything is pro-
pitious for his case. There he has the
tender attentions of his brother, one of
the most eminent physicians Of Phila-
delphis, and being adjacent to Phil
adslphia it is an easy matter to call in
consultation any Of the great medical
men Of that city.
