HAVE FILED AN ANSWER.
Traction Company Sets Forth It's Right to

Traction Company Sets Forth It's Right to
Lay Two Tracks on Franklin Avcnuc.
That the Scranton Traction company y
is preparing to lay a double track on
Franklin avenue, in the block between
Lackawanna avenue and Spruce street,
is shown by the step taken in court
Saturday by Attorneys Jessup & Hand,
counsel for the company. They filed
an answer to the bill of complaint made
by the property owners. 1t was ON this
bill of complaint that Judge Gunster
granted the injunction restraining the
company from double tracking the
avenue. The owners complained that
1t would depreciate the value of prop
erty and seriously interfere with the
business of the wholesale merchants in
loading and unloading their wagons. 1t
was not on that account, however, that
court sustained the property owners,
but because the Traction company
could not show authority to warrant it
in availing itself of this privilege.
Judge Gunster ruled in his opinion
that the company did not have the con-
sent by ordinance of the city councils.
and on that ground the injunction was
granted. After the case thus ended,
the company applied to council for the
privilege of laying another track, and
that permission was granted in an or
dinance, that. having passed both
branches. received on April /. 1895, the
signature of Mayor w. L. Connell.
Permission to Lay Second Track.
That ordinance allowed by its pro-
ct
to shift to one side the present track of
the Scranton Suburban Street Railway
company in order to lay another track.
That was virtually the same as a per-
mission to double track the avenue. In
the answer filed on Saturday the ordin-
ance Is made a part. The company
denies that the plaintiffs, or any Of
them, are owners Of real estate abutting
on both sides of Franklin avenue in the
block where the double track is in
tended to be laid.
The answer explains that the new
track is to be laid under authority
granted in its charter to the Scranton
and Providence Street Railway COM
pany, under the act of March &C. 1866.
This company has been merged into
the Peoples Street Railway company,
of Luzerne county and the consolidated
corporation has leased its interests to
the Scranton Traction company. The
act of assembly and the leases are made
a part Of the answer.
Property Owners VIII Continue Fight.
The property owners win maintain
that the company has no right to lay
more than one track, and will claim
that the Peoples Street Railway have
forfeited the benefit of the act of 1866,
under the act OF 1887.
The matter will come up for a final
hearing in equity court.

COSSACKS OF CAUCASUS,
They Will Be a Feature Of Buffalo BilPs
Wild West Show.

It is almost futile to attempt to EMU
merate all the interesting features of
the great Wild West show, which is
shortly to be seen here OF course the
most prominent individual is Colonel
William f. Cody, or Buffalo BILL" as
he Is even better known, picturesque
figure in contemporaneous history that
will never see his prototype. Scenes
and incidents of every variety of wild
west life will be produced with posi-
tive fidelity to nature, and many of the
stirring events of frontier life of half
century ago will be re-enacted.
In addition to the Wild West repre-
sentatlons the Congress of Rough Rid
ers of the Wirld will attract almost
equal interest. In this Congress will
appear Vaqueros from Mexico, Gauchos
from South America, Arabs from the
African desert, and Cossacks from the
steppes of Russia. These latter, hardy
and dexterous horsemen, may be con-
sidered as ON the border line between
the wild irregulars and the trained and
drilled military; for though they wear
the well-known uniform, and are regu-
larly enlisted soldiers among the Co.'S
sacks of the Caucasian line, they ride
with q wild, fierce dash and Individual
ity not characteristic of any of the
other bodies of cavalrymen. This does
not mean that they are not well drilled
in their tactics and capable of going
through their evolutions admirably:
but they have a certain sort of spirited
freedom and capacity for independent
personal demonstration which only
perhaps the French and Americans
might, If encouraged thereto, display.
They wear handsome but sombre uni
forms, ride the. 1.-THE. small horses of
the steppes, and are mounted on small
troop saddles, very high front and rear,
which are built up with pads fully four
inches thick, SO that they seem to perch
far above their horses.
Another variety of horsemen which
form an auxiliary to the other attrac-
tions of the Wild West are the repre-
