EIGHT SUITS ARE Started
Two Trolley Companies Named as
Defendants in Them.
DAMAGES CLAIMED NOT NAMED
Actions Arc Based on Decision Of tho
Supreme Court with Regard to
Rights Of Electric Cor Companies
In Townships and Boroughs.

Eight Minooka property owners, rep
resented by Attorneys Watson & Zim-
norman, brought suit in trespass yes
terday in court against the Lackawan-
ma Street Railway company and the
Scranton and Pittston Traction COM
pany.
Their names are: Martin McDonough,
Thomas Loughney, Richard Walsh,
Mrs. Lizzie Dunn, Patrick Coyne. John
Fitzhenry, John Ludden and William
j. Burke
These reside on Center or Main street,
In Lackawanna township, and the
tracks of the street car company pass
along this thoroughfare and by their
properties. This is the first of the at
tempts made by Minooka residents to
claim damages from the company be-
cause the latter did not secure their
consent to the right of way before lay
ing its tracks through the township.
The praecipes filed by the attorneys
in the prothonotary's office are not ac-
companied by any declarations, and the
amount of damages claimed by each Is
not stated; but the expectation of re-
covery has been based on the recent rul-
ing of the supreme court, of which men,
ton has been heretofore made.
Summonses were issued and placed
in the hands of the sheriff, but have not
yet been served on the defendants.

THAT BILL OF MIR. COBB'S.
City Solicitor Torrey's Opinion with Re.
gard to 1t.

City Solicitor TOrrcy'S OplniOn Win Nc'
gard to 1t.
Arising from the refusal of the audit
ing committee of councils ITO approve
of the bill of 1925 Of F. M. Cobb against
the city, ie nice legal point that City
Solicitor rorrey has not yet passed
upon. The bill was not approved be-
cause it was feared If II had been that
action would make the city liable for
the damage suit which has been in
stituted against the city in the amount
of $1,000 by Motorman William
Sweeney, whose leg was broken by the
accident.
The bill has not been handed to Mr.
Torrey yet and he knows nothing of the
facts except what he read hastily in
the papers. However, he does not be-
lieve that If the bill should be paid that
the fact would initiate against the
city in the action in trespass of Motor
man Sweeney now pending.
The horse was driven by the perman-
ent man of the Hook and Ladder
company when it ran away, and was
not in use in going to or from a fire.
Chief Ferber was in attendance at the
funeral of the late Captain William
Kellow, and the city officials We're there,
the chief among them, but that would
not be regarded as acting in an official
capacity, Mr.. Torrey thinks, even
though councils had passed resolu-
ton agreeing to attend the funeral.
He does not believe that 1t would make
the city liable for any accident that
might arise in which, as in this case.
city official had been concerned.

PUPILS OF THE COUNTY.
Those Who Secured Good Averages in
Saturdays Examination

Those Who Secured Good Averages in
Saturdays Examination.
Examinations for pupils in the coun-
ty schools who have completed the COM
mon branches were held on Saturday
May 4. at nine centers: Carbondale
Jermyn, Olyphant, Dickson, Taylor,
Old Forge, Dalton, Clark's Summit
and Moscow
Each examination was conducted by
committee of five teachers appointed
by the county superintendent. These
are preliminary examinations and
those pupils who are successful here
may enter the final examination, to be
held in Liberty hail. Scranton, May IS.
Those who are successful in the final
receive the common school diploma.
Last Saturday was an unusually fine
day and the central examinations were
well attended. The larges classes were
those at Jermyn and Olyphant, each of
which contained forty candidates. The
whole number examined was 224. This
is nearly double the number examined
last year.
Some of the first-rank pupils are:
Anna l.. McCarty, Mayfield, average, 96
per cent. Hannah McCarty, Mayfield,
average, S5 per cent; Mabel Decker,
North Abingdon, average, SO per cent;
Grace Dershimer, Newton, average, SO
per cent; Howard Ackerly, South
Arlington, average, 81 per cent; Anna
Geary, Ransom, average, Sc per cent;
Lizzie Williams, Taylor, average, 81
per cent; Elsie Wescott, Moosic, aver
age, S4 per cent. Other reports have
not yet been received
This shows that the plan of county
graduations in common branches is
growing rapidly into popularity. The
fact that Superintendent Taylor was
able to visit six of these examinations
during the day proves that this county
is well provided with facilities for
travel

FIRE MARSHAL BILL,
Measure Creating That Office in Third

Class Cities Will Soon BE Law.
A letter has been received by Secre-
tary Atherton, of the board of trade,
from Representative Alex T. Connell,
stating that the bill for creating the
Office of fire marshal in cities of the
third class had passed the senate, and
that there was no opposition to the
measure in the house and that, with a
fair attendance, the bill would pass. 1t
is expected that the bill will come be-
fore the house for a second reading
this week, and in the event of its be-
coming a law, Mayor Connell will ap-
point fire marshal.
The question was discussed at the
March meeting of the board of trade,
when resolutions were passed favoring
the enactment of a law creating the
office of fire marshal in cities of the
third class, whose duties 1t would be to
thoroughly investigate the origin of all
fires, and, If of an incendiary charac-
ter, to bring. If possible. the guilty
parties to justice. A copy of these
resolution was sent to each local repre-
sentative at Harrisburg, who have
worked zealously for the passage of the

A NEW ENTE RPRISE
Fine Quarters That william BIumc 6 Son
Have Fitted Up.

Have Fitted Up.
The latest addition to the already
numerous business concerns of Scran-
ton is the new carriage repository Of
William Blume & Son, who have now in
conjunction with their carriage factory
opened a most attractive showroom at
524 Spruce street, opposite court house,
which is the finest in the state to be
found outside of Philadelphia
Their stock, numbering over $50 Jobs,
consisting of buggies, carriages, phae-
tons, surries. traps, carts and business
wagons and embraces over fifty DIFF
ferent styles. 1t Is the purpose Of
Blume & Son to supply long-felt want
in this city. Hitherto whenever any
of our prominent citizens have needed
a fine carriage they have usually had to
go to New York or Philadelphia to pur-
chase such work. There Is now no
excuse why this measure should be re-
sorted to, as William Blume & Son. be-
sides being themselves manufacturers,
represent the leading makers of the
country, and their stock Is large and
varied collection of very fine vehicles,
and for prices they cannot be eXcelled
in either of the cities above mentioned.
With the opening of the new boulevard
there is no reason why Scrantonians
should not have a display of carriages
befittings their rank and prosperity.
Messrs. Blume & Son have already sup
piled some of the finest vehicles to be
seen In our city, but there are many of
our wealthy citizens who are yet under
the erroneous impression that when
they need a fine carriage they must go
outside of our own city to get it.
1t is also the intention of the firm to
manufacture the finer grades of work.
as they have the machinery and skilled
workmanship with which to do this If
they get market for it.
One of the specialtes which this firm
has long endeavored to bring before the
Scranton public is the Rubber Tire Ball
Bearing Axle Buggy. The only one ever
made in this city was made by Blume &
Son. and is now in the possession of
John II. Richards, who has subjected
the vehicle to the most severe test, with
the result that it gives every salts
faction. and Mr.. Richards Is very well
pleased with and highly endorses this
buggy.
In addition to their stock of carriages
and wagons they carry also, fine line
of harness, rugs, whips and every re-
quisite of carriage furnishings. Mr..
Blume, sr., has been in business in
this city for the last thirty years, and
1t Is be hoped that our business men
and citizens generally will show their
local patriotism by giving him and his
son their liberal patronage in the new
enterprise which they have undertaken.

ECHOES OF THE RAIN STORM
Lightning Struck Dwelling in the North
End

During the heavy thunder and rain
storm of yesterday afternoon the
flashes of lightning We're sharp and
near, but the only report of any dam
age being done comes from the North
End, where the house on Wilbur street,
owned by Thomas Harrington, and oc-
cupied by the family of Thomas Lands
ton, was struck, but not greatly dam
aged
The bolt struck the chimney and
passed down into the cellar, where it
dug hole near the foundation walls.
The tenant was disturbed from the
pleasant diversion of adjusting a stove
pipe. The lightning rendered him un-
conscious for a few minutes. The
chimney was knocked off the roof and
the damage is estimated at about $50.
