PETITION FOR VIEWERS.
Trouble Between the City and Domi
nick Healey to BE Adiudicated.

The trouble that has existed for some
time past between Dominick Healey,
of the West Side, and the city of Scran
ton is to be settled legally. The first
step in that direction was taken YES
terday by Mr.. Healey, when his at
torneys, I. II. Burns and w. w. Bay
lor, asked the court to appoint viewers
to assess the damage done to Mr.,
Healey's property at Ninth and West
Linden street.
Mr.. Healey in his petition for view
ers says that the city in constructing
the Thirteenth district sewer took and
used his land, to his great injury. He
mas not been recompensed by the city
and he wants to be. Judge Gunster
appointed c. b. Gardner. Charles
koempel and M. F. Conroy as viewers.
For several months there has been
trouble between Mr.. Healey and the
street commissioners department over
the formers determination to keep a.
fence on what the city claims to be a.
public street.

ANOTHER INTERRUPTION.
Columbia Construction Co.'s Asphalt
Plant Again Breaks Down.

Hard luck in a most malignant form
Is pursuing the Columbia Construction
company. Yesterday another break
occurred in the asphalt plant and the
paving operations had to be again sus-
pended.
1t was a cog-wheel which gave away
this time and, as another instance of
their hard luck. it was the only cog
wheel on the whole machine Of which
the company did not have a duplicate.
On this account 1t was necessary to
send to Indianapolis, where the ma
chine was built, to get a wheel that
would answer
Operations must cease until the
wheel is gotten here and the break re-
paired, all of which will possibly re-
quire an expenditure of three days
time.

NO OvERCROWDING DISCOVERED.
On the Other Hand, One Building
Was Plethoric of Room.

Examinations for conditioned pupils
were continued yesterday at the High
school. Today, it is likely, the arrange
ment of classes will be undertaken.
Active work will not be commenced be-
fore Monday. possibly.
Superintendent Howell finished his
rounds of the schools yesterday and
as on the previous day found no in
stances of serious overcrowding. At
No. IA school, in the Fifteenth ward, Il
was found possible to do away with the
annex at the Tabernacle church, the
pupils who had been accommodated
there being provided with quarters in
the regular building.
This makes it unnecessary to appoint
a teacher to succeed Mrs. e. E. Roba-
than, who resigned from the corps of
No. IA during vacation.

! BEFORE BREAKFAST,

The white wings" were decidedly
draggled on the first day of their ac-
tive service and it is supposed that
the wearers of the summery uniform
went to bed early yesterday while their
plumage was being washed, as they
were not so much in evidence as on
the previous day. Mr.. Dunning may
have to provide more capacious gunny-
sacks than those employed at present
if he desires to preserve other than
scorcher attitudes in the backs of his
helpers. Scranton isn't educated up to
the limited capacity of those bags.

DDS of teaching seem to be very much
admired by the members of the insti-
tute. He declares that the Lackawan-
ma teachers surprise him by their en-
thusiasm over the subject Tuesday, de-
spite the oppressive heat they prac-
ticed his directions with interest and

The Arcade portico, which was be-
gun over a year and half ago by
Arthur rockingham, was completed
yesterday by Charles II. Welles, trus-
tee. for the present owners of the prop
erty. In the condition in which 1t was
left after the legal interruption 1t was
hardly a thing of beauty, and 1t was
quietly resolved to remove 1t or else
remove its unsightliness. One was
about as cheap as the other, and as
IL was deemed more wise to raise than
raze the completion of the much ad-
vertised portico was resolved upon.
Yesterday morning at o'clock a
gang of carpenters went hurriedly to
work on the structure. AS soon as the
roof was in place, tinsmiths appeared
and set to work with the same liveli-
ness that characterized the carpenters
operations. At nightfa1l the job was
virtually finished, and today the paint
ers will put on the finishing touches.
Street Commissioner Dunning and
City Solicitor Mckinley both learned of
the proceedings early in the day, but
did not interfere in any way. They
consulted, however, concerning the
matter, and may yet take some steps
regarding 1t.
NEVER PASSED UPON.
The question as to whether or not
the portico is an obstruction has never
been passed upon by the courts. The
litigation which tended to bring this
matter to solution was halted by
combination of circumstances. One of
these was a decision by Judge Gun
ster that the case had been irregu-
larly instituted. Mr.. Kinsley, the then
street commissioner, had Mr. Frothing-
ham arrested on warrant and at
tempted to collect in this summary
manner the penalty imposed by the
ordinance. Alderman Millar dismissed
the case, and the city took an appeal.
M. w. Lowry, attorney for Mr.. Froth-
ingham, moved to quash the appeal and
Judge Gunster granted the motion,
ruling that the proceedings should have
been by summons and not by warrant
of arrest; and further, inasmuch as the
fine to be collected was for the use of
the city the case should have been
brought by "the commonwealth to the
use of the city," and not by an indi-
vidual municipal officer. AS to the
merits Of the case the Judge had moth
ing to say, as it was not regularly be-
fore him.
