THE HILTON TROPHY.
1t is Finally Delivered to the Anxious
GeOrEians.

The anxiety of the Georgia militiamen
has been allayed by the arrival at Atlanta
of the Hilton trophy. Not receiving the
trophy promptly the Georgians jumped at
the conclusion that it was lost, strayed or
stolen, and acted accordingly. The trophy
showed up all right yesterday, however,
and now everybody is happy The delay, it
is explained, was chargeable to the Christ

POWER cENTER1NG IN THE WEST

1t must have been apparent for long
time to those who pride themselves on
their descent from the pilgrims that the
scepter is slipping from the hands of
New England and being grasped by the
sturdy and resourceful west. This is
possibly due to the fact that the stur.
diest and most resourceful portion of the
west traces its lineage directly back to
New England and the pilgrims but it is
of comparatively little Importance to
what the condition is due. The thing
to consider and,t to reckon with is that the
west no longer turns to the east with
humility and awaits it's approval or its
teaching.-Detroit Free Press.

NOT A BAY WINDOW.
Judge Archibald Disapproves Of the
Structure Erected by Mr.. FIaherty,
Of Penn Avenue.

Michael Flaherty and Judge Arch
bald do not agree as to the kind of a
structure or construction the law will
allow to be called a bay-window. AS
a consequence Mr.. Flaherty is in a very
distressing predicament. He is the
owner of lot in the 400 block of Penn
avenue and until about a year ago 1t
was improved with a two-story frame
building in which were stores and liv-
ing apartments.
About year ago Mr.. Flaherty sawed
away half of the wooden building,
moved 1t to the rear of the lot and in
it's place erected a three-story brick
building with a store-room on the first
floor and living apartments above. In
erecting the building Mr. Flaherty
ignored the usual Penn avenue build
ing line and took possession of a good
portion of the ten-foot reservation.
This drew forth a protest from p. j.
Vetter. who occupies the adjoining lot,
and Jacob Ferber, who owns the prop
erty adjoining Mr.. Vetter. The protest
was ignored and they asked the court
for an injunction. About this time Mr..
flaherty somewhat altered his plans
so as to make the part of the building
thuI cAtClluSu OlllO tlS IeSeINdtlOu d
bay-window. Judge Archibald handed
down an opinion in the injunction pro-
ceedings yesterday.
He distinctly disapproves of Mr..
F'laherty's bay-window, in fact posi-
lively asserted that it Is nothing of the
kind and concludes his lengthy opinion
with the following decree:
Let preliminary injunction issue as
prayed for restraining and enjoining the
defendant, his agents and employees from
using the ten feet in the front of his lot
on Penn avenue, Scranton, described in
the bill, for any purpose other than that
of a yard, vault, porch, piazza, cellarway
or bay windows, and particularly enjoin-
ing him from erecting or constructing
thereon the building or structure pro-
posed by him to be there built as shown
by the diagrams attached to the findings
In this case, copies of which shall accom-
pany and be made a part of the writ to
be issued In pursuance of this order.
The building has been erected and is
now occupied and has been for many
months. The legal battle will not stop
here. Mr.. Flaherty will try all the
kinks In the law before he removes the
portion of his building that covers the
reservation.

street Commissioner Dunning is go
ing to supply his special officer with
