San Antonio loses nothing, nor will
she ever, by endorsements of ordinance
es for the protection of the people.
The city government was elected pri-
marily to protect the people from fraud
and see that they were made secure in
life and health and property. City
dads are supposed to look out for their
municipal children. San Antonio ap-
preciates such work by the council.

REASONS FOR A NEW TRIAL.

Attorneys w. H. Jessup and John p.
Kelly of Scranton, and r. c. Umsted,
of Wilkes Barre, yesterday filed rea-
sons for a new trial in the ejectment
suit of William Won Storch against
burlington S. Won Storch, which was
recently tried before Judge Archibald
The trial consumed more time than any
previous one in the history of the
county and resulted in a verdict being
returned in favor of the plaintiff, Will
liam Won Storch. The reasons for a
new trial, filed yesterday, were on be-
half of the defendant, burlington S.
Won Storch, and are very numerous.
1t is alleged in the first reason that the
verdict is against the law and the evil
dence and the charge of the court and
that the jury erred in its answer to
the third, fourth fifth and sixth ques-
tions submitted by the court.
On the part of the court numerous
errors are alleged. First IN the form
of the submission of the fifth and sew
enth questions to the jury. The latter
was: did the defendant, burlington
Won Storch, know that Abel Bennett
in December, 1859, had conveyed the
property in dispute to the plaintiff,
William Won Storch, individually" An
error is also charged in submitting the
eighth question in this form. Has the
defendant, burlington Won Storch, ac-
quiesced in the conveyance of the prop
erty in dispute by Abel Bennett to
William Won Storch for so long a time
that it is to be inferred that he was
satisfied with it and assented thereto"
Other errors of the court alleged are
In the charge to the jury; in the ad-
mission and rejection of testimony on
the trial of the case; in the admission
of the petition of Jan. 22, 1868, purport-
ing to have been signed by six of the
children of Ferdinand Won Storch; in
affirming the points of the plaintiffs; in
refusing and also in modifying the
points submitted by the defendants.
Permission is asked to file other rea-
sons as soon as the evidence and charge
of the court are transcribed
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-07-13

A writ was placed in the hands of
the sheriff yesterday directing him to
put Sarah Griffin, and others, into pos
session of a certain piece of land in
the First ward Of this city which con-
sists of one-third of an acre. In 1890
Mrs. Griffin and others brought an ac-
tion in ejectment against Ambrose
Mulley, A. j. Mum, Ella Mum, Mary
Fitch, w. w. Winton, Catherine Win
ton, A. II. Winton, Polly Ann Fitch, S.
p. Fenner and William Chappell to re-
cover possession of certain piece of
land in the rear of North Main avenue.
Mr.. Mulley has q barn on a portion of
the land.
Since it's inception the case has been
strongly fought at every step. The
history of the progress of the case as
outlined in legal verbiage covers four
of the large pages of one of the con-
thonotary Pryor. Twice Mrs. Griffin
obtained verdicts in her favor in this
county, as is required by law in eject
ment cases, and then an appeal was
taken to the supreme court. That tri-
bunal on April IL, 1895, handed down
an opinion affirming the judgment of
the court below and finally disposing
of the case. Since that time no action
was taken in the case until yesterday
when the writ was issued to put the
plaintiffs in the suit into possession of
the land. The writ will be served on
the defendants today.

and an expert Is also furnished to set
1t up.
The referee and other officials will be
selected today upon the arrival OF
Clearwater from Pittsburg. George
Backus has been made custodian of
the wary balls to be used in the game
and neither of the contestants, or for
that matter anybody else, is allowed
to practice with or even inspect them
until the game is called
The game is to be for 600 points, 200
points a night. 1t will begin tomorrow
night and continue Thursday and Fri
day. The stakes are 5000 and all the
gate receipts and the possession of the
championship medal.
Clearwater won the medal in the Sy-
racuse tournament in 1895. Keogh
tried to arrest it from him at Pittsburg
later in the same year but failed. The
game was the closest and most excit-
ing played in the history of the cham
pionship series. Keogh had one ball to
run and Clearwater three to make the
necessary 600. Keogh was left safe
but made try for very difficult shot.
The hall wabbled in the jaws of the
pocket but refused to topple in. ClesH
water easily made three and retained
his championship.
Later however he lost it to De ORC,
the Cuban crack. De Orc was chal-
lenged by Stewart, of Philadelphia
but while in training he was taken ill
and as he could not meet his challeng-
er, within forty days as the rules re-
quire, he had to forfeit the champion
ship and medal. Eby, Of Springfield,
Ohio, had first call for a contest with
Stewart and defeated him in New York
in May Keogh challenged the winner
while the game was on and won as
will be remembered in "a walk. Clear
water had posted challenge to the
winner and Keosh was compelled to
give him a chance to retrieve his lost
laurels.
This battle will be the greatest OF
them all, as Keogh and Clearwater are
acknowledged to be the best pair in
the business, De ORC rating a danger
Gus third.
KeOgh feels confident of winning and
as an earnest of this confidence has
offered to make a side bet of any rea-
sonable amount in addition to the $15C
side, which the rules require shall
be Staked.

The accompanying table shows a
summary of the city assessment COM
pleted by Assessors Fowler, Dawson
and Fickus, yesterday. In the last
column will be found the total assess
ment" made under the appraisement
ordered by the board of revision and
appeals but afterwards knocked out by
Judge Archibald.
The increase in valuation over 1896
is $G90, $40. The increase in 1896 over
1896 was $34S, 167. Had the special as
sessment stood the increase over 1896
would have been $3,0S6,370. The in
crease in the Eighth ward alone would
have been $713, ,320, or 500, ,4S0 more than
the total increase in the present as
sesSmant over that of 1896. A COM
parison of tho regular" and special"
assessment totals paralleled in the last
two columns of the table will show
how the assessors intended to equalize
the valuations. The regular assess
ment is nothing more or less than the
1896 valuations with new improvements
hitched on.
The defeat of the special assessment
deprives the city of revenue to the ex-
tent of $3O.663.97 and the school board
of $3S, ,43S.72. On the other hand, it
might be incidentally remarked it
saves the taxpayers just that much in
taxes.
In addition to the figures given in the
table the assessors returns show that
there are 3,997 horses in the city and
594 COWS. There isn't a COW at ell in
the Twentieth ward, Only one in the
Eighth and two apiece in the Sixth
and Fourteenth.
The Eighth ward of course leads in
valuation. 1t is said there are only
two wards in the state that have a
greater valuation, one in Pittsburg and
one in Philadelphia. The Eighteenth
ward has the least valuation,
That this city is growing is evidenced
by the fact that the number of build
ings. not counting barns and outhouses,
was in 1896, 1887. This years assess
ment shows 14,3S7, a most remarkable
increase. Dogs are decreasng-or pos
sibly the assessors are growing less
viGlant. In 1896 there We're 2,624. This
years returns account for only 2,407.
The bicycle Is not crowding out the
horse by any means. In 1896 there
were 3SS9. This year there are 1897.

Exceptions were filed to the report of
the reviewers, but these were overruled
by Judge Archibald. who closes his opin-
ion by finally confirming the report of
the reviewers.
A petition has been presented to the
court asking for the creation of another
election district in the Seventeenth ward.
At present there are two districts. The
new district is to be bounded on the west
by Washington, Adams and Jefferson
avenues, on the east and south by the
Roaring Brook, and on the north by Olive
street. If this division Is allowed by
court the districts will approximately
have the following vote: First, 37S; Sec
ond, 30i; Third, 800

eied as law students, and the reglstra-
tions were placed on record in the Of

INTERESTING POINT INVOLVED.

Before arbitrators Russell Dimmick,
Thomas Quntin and c. A. Battenberg
yesterday in the arbitration room. tes-
timony was heard with reference to the
equity suit between the North End
Lumber company and the West Ridge
Coal company. When the Scranton di-
vision of the New York, Ontario and
Western railroad was built the COM
pany condemned certain land for its
right of way. Among the land thus
taken was the rear portion of a num-
ber of lots owned by the Won Storch
estate at North Main avenue and Green
Ridge street.
1t appears that all the land taken
was not used for a right of way and
subsequently a switch was laid on a
portion of the Won Storch land. This
switch runs into the breaker of the
West Ridge Coal company. The North
End Lumber company at later date
purchased the property at North Main
avenue and Green Ridge street from
the Won StOrchs and received title to
the "line of the right of way" of the
Ontario company. The lumber people
contend that the land was seized for a
public purpose, but was afterwards
used in private way and therefore the
land used for anything but public pur-
poses reverts to the original owner. In
other words, the North End Lumber
company claims title to the actual
right of way line of the Ontario and
Western railroad and they want that
defined by the court. The arbitrators
heard all of the evidence in the case
yesterday and also heard the argu-
ments of Attorney A. A. Vosburg for
the Lumber company and Attorney ].
e. Burr for the West Ridge company.
On July 23 the arbitrators will hold
another meeting. On that occasion
they will view the land.
