Attorney Joseph O'Brien, who ap-
peared for the prosecution, said he did
not think a conviction could be secured
under the indictment and suggested
that a verdict of not guilty be taken
and the costs placed on the county.
1t Would Be Idle.
ut would be idle to go to trial on
such an Indictment" declared Judge
Gunster. "The costs will have to be
placed on the county, though the JUS

the person who should pay them" A
verdict of not guilty was taken and
the costs placed on the county.
In the case of Mrs. Lizzie Stiles, of

TO CROSS. OR NOT TO CROSS.
Testimony Taken in Injunction Cases
Yesterday with View TO Solving That
Question.

Question.
Testimony was taken by Court
Stenograuher II. II. COston yesterday in
the Office of ex-Judge w, II. Jessup IN
the injunction cases Of the Scranton and
Plttston Traction company against the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company
and the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company against the Scranton and
Plttston Traction company. Lleuten-
ant Governor l.. A. Watres and Attor-
ney Lemuel Amerman represented the
Traction company and ex-Judge Jessup
the railroad company.
The objects of the injunctions Is to
determine whether or not the Traction
company has the right to cross the
tracks of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal company at grade in two places
in MoOsic.
II. II. Archer testified that between
Mooslc and Pittston there are seven
grade crossings on the line of the cleo
trlc road similar to those 1t is desired
to establish at Moosic. w. ii. Hollister,
W. r. Manners, NJ. w. LOTUS, James
DulleI, MdItll JuuSe anu II J. blONtT
said that overhead bridges such as the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company
wants the Traction company to cross
its tracks on it would be a damage to
adjacent property and an injury to the
town of Moosic. A. b. Dunnlng, jr.,
presented blue print of the crossings.
That closed the evidence on the part
of the Traction company and Superin-
tendent C. r. Manvllle was called on
behalf of the Delaware and Hudson
company. He said that the proposed
grade crossings would be dangerous and
might result in loss of life. George Bur-
rell, master bridge builder of the COM
pany. said that bridges such as the
Traction company could cross the rail-
road tracks on would cost about $4,000
each. The hearing was then continued
until this morning.
After the testimony is taken it will be
transcribed and presented to Judge
Gunster for consideration.

lation in the world so far as could be
learned. Though not member of the
Grand Army of the Republic the men,
bers of Griffin post, of this city, took
charge of the remains and gave them
inappropriate soldiers burial, members
of the post acting as pall-bearers.
The deceased was during portion Of

BAILEY Will NOT CONTEST
Frank H. Clcmons' Right to Be Sheriff
Not to BE Questioned.
FIGHT OVER TREASURERSHIP
Mr.. Davies Says His Contest VIII BE Pros.
ecutcd- Papers Have Not Yet Been
Filcd-This Is the Last Day
for So Doing.

James G.. Bailey has decided not to
contest the right of Frank II. Glenn
ons to fill the office of high sheriff OF
Lackawanna county He came to that
conclusion Tuesday night When seen
at his place of business on Penn avenue
yesterday afternoon by Il Tribune re-
porter, Mr.. Bailey said:
Have decided not to contest? Well,
no papers will be filled in my behalf,
and. therefore, | guess, there will be no
contest. | have considered the mat
ter very carefully and find that
contest would entail an amount
Of work that is appalling to
contemplate. For my part l would
rather 80 through another campaign
than do the work that this contest
would make necessary.
1T would be a constant source Of
worrlment to me and | would have to
neglect my business to a certain eX-
tent Besides | am loath to cause an
noyance to the voters by compelling
them TO appear before the commission
ers to give testimony. The question OF
cost to the taxpayers has also mad It's
influence IN causing me TO relihqulsl
the idea Of contest. | find that 1t Is
something that should not be lightly
undertaken
Contest for Treasurer.
Many rumors were afloat yesterday
to the effect that the contest for the
office Of treasurer had also been settled
but Thomas ID. Davies and his attor-
neys, Taylor & Lewis declared that
they knew nothing Of 1t.
Mr. Davies told Tribune reporter
last night that his contest would be
prosecuted and as his petition had been
signed and sworn to and he expected
that his attorneys would file it last
evening.
1t was not filed, however, but may be
today. This is the last day allowed by
law for filing such petitions.

MONEY FOR A NEW HOSPITAL.
State Board OF Charities Recommend
That $4,000 BE Appropriated for Mi.
ners' Hospital on the West Side.

At meeting of the state board of
charities at Harrisburg yesterday, 1t
was decided to recommend that the
state legislature appropriate $4,000 for
a miners hospital on the West Side of
this city. Representative John r. Farr
appeared before the board and pre-
sented reasons why the appropriation
should be recommended.
Before this appropriation can be OBJ
tained from the state it will be neces-
sary to form a hospital association
and secure a charter. A site for
hospital may be donated, but it is prob
able that the people of the West Side
will have to supplement the state ap-
preparation by private subscriptions
in the event of the Legislature APPROX
ing of the recommendation of the board
of charities.
This proposed hospital or the appro-
priation for it will in no way conflict
with the claims of the Lackawanha
hospital

Bids for the Superstructurc Will BE
Opened Tonight.

opChSd
At tonight's meeting of select council
bids for building the superstructure. or
iron work. of the Linden street bridge
will be opened. For several weeks
bridge concerns in at least five differ
ent states have been unusually active In
preparing bids and 1t is expected that
the opening Of the proposals will de-
velop many and close competitions.
a new and quick method has been
adopted for awarding the contract. \
recent resolution of councils provides
that the bids shall be referred to the
joint street and bridges committee,
which will inform the mayor when it
has decided upon the award The mayor
will then call a joint session of councils
to confirm or amend the committees ac-
ton. The resolution also provides that
bids shall be mailed from the postofiice
nearest the works of the company sub
mitting a bid.
The purpose Of the resolution Is two
fold. 1t prevents collusion among the
bidders and hastens the award by hav-
ing it considered in Joint committee and
Joint council session.

IN COURT ROOM NO. Q.

Cows Not Within the jurisdiction Of
Quarter Sessions Court.
"Quarter session court was not or
ganized for the purpose of finding out
II cows are gentle and well bred, and
the justice Of the peace who sent this
case here should be compelled to pay
the COSTS" said Judge Gunster In court
room No. 2 yesterday afternoon. He
was commenting on the case of Thomas
Garrigal, who was charged by Mrs.
Bridget Burke with obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Mrs. Burke resides at Dunmore. She
negotiated with Garrlgal for the pur-
chase Of COW he was the owner of
and was assured that the animal was
quiet, well behaved and sound In every
particular. Mrs. Burke was the owner
of the COW but short time when she
discovered that 1t was far from being
what 1t was represented to be, and she
had Garrlgal arrested and bound over
to appear at court.
When the case was called yesterday
