The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-07-13

At adjourning time yesterday after
noon the argument list for common
pleas, quarter sessions and orphans
court had been cleared up. There will
be session this forenoon for motions
and other details preparatory to ad-
journment for the summer.
The most important matter yesterday
was the argument for Moosc borough.
Ex-Judge Ward represented the petit
TONERS and Attorneys c. Comeeys and
NJ. j. Donahoe the eXceptants. The
court is asked to incorporate the vii
lagos of Mooaic, Starks, Oak Hi, No. 1
and Greenwood, into borough. All
this territory is embraced in Lacka-
wanna township.
That would leave the township made
up of Minooka and the villages of
Pyne, Archibald, Continental and Sloan.
Judge Ward was informed few min
utes after he began his argument that
the court did not want to hear any
more from him. What the other side
had to say was what the court wanted
to hear I
Mr.. Comeevs started out with say
ing that usually such declaration
from the court meant but one thing,
Judge Edwards told him no such infer
ence was to be drawn. The court is
pretty familiar with the lay of the land
in that locality and what the Judge
would tell them would be about what
they already knew.

GEORGE EVANS FATALLY INJURED.
Was the Three-year old Son OF MIR.
nnd Mrs. d. W. Eynns.

Death visited the family of Mr.. and
Mrs Benjamin W. Evans, of LIS South
Main avenue, in sad and startling
manner yesterday afternoon. Their
youngest son, George, three years of
age, was 50 badly injured by being
caught beneath a pile of falling planks
that he died few hours after the acci-
dent. The mother is almost Frustrated
with grief.
The dead boy and an older brother,
Ellsworth, were playing in the rear
yard of the residence during the after
noon. Shortly after 8 o'clock the mother
called to the boys to be careful and not
get hurt. Fifteen minutes later she
was bearing the unconscious form of
her baby boy into the house. He had
attempted to climb upon a pile of heavy
planks arranged against the side of a
shed and they, being insecurely placed
toppled over onto the child.
The brother rushed to his assistance
and hastily lifted the planks. The
mother noting the silence, instructive
ly felt that something was wrong and
ran out. 1t was too late, though Drs.
Gibbs and Moylan, who were hastily
summoned, did all that medical skill
could suggest. The skull on the left
side was probably fractured, a deep
| depression existing. The left arm be-
tween the elbow and shoulder was
| broken and crushed and his little chest
was crushed in. He never regained
| consciousness.

MORE DIVORCES.
Those to Whom They Were Granted
and the Reason for the Action
of the Court.

Three divorces were granted yeSter-
day by Judge Edwards. Two of the
libellants are the husbands, and de-
sertion is the reason for which the
three cases were brought.
Harry Englc was divorced from Cor
nelia Engle. They We're married on
April 2z, 1896, at her home on Franklin
avenue by Rev. John DaNy. They went
to Wilkes-Barre to live. and got along
well until the second week of the sue
ceeding June. Then she left him. Her
reasons for leaving him were not stat
ed in the evidence but may be inferred
from letter she wrote to her sister
in-law in which she said that she had
come to just what had beer pre- /ed
by her friends when she decided to
marry him, Attorney John f. Murphy
represented the libelant.
.Addie NJ. Furvin was divorced from
David p. PuIvin. They We're married

self ever since She came to this city
soon afterward, and has supported her
self by teaching music, Attorney +.
c. NewcOmb appeared for the lbellant.

THE LAW QUOTED.

Mr.. Comegys first quoted the differ
ent acts of the Legislature on the i'll
corporation OF borodghs, and gave AZ
his view of the law applicable to them
that waste land or farm land should
not lie included within the boundaries.
In the proposed Moosic borough there
are upwards of two or three thousand
acres of wild mountainous coal land,
and the distance between MoOsic and
Greenwood is two miles, the connecting
thoroughfare being winding country
road. The borough line comes up to al
most the very center of Minool:a and
leaves it standing alone in one corner
of the township.
Mr. Donahoe cited the facts that
Moosic has been at a standstil! as far
as development is concerned for twenty
years, with no boom in signt nor any
prospect of a revival that will build up
the intervening unoccupied lands.
Greenwood is the only part of the pro-
posed borough that has gone forward.

Scranton rather than to any other
cause

Mr.. Donahoe also said that the indcbt-

TOO MUCH TERRITORY.
Mr.. Comegys granted that Moosic
proper may be entitled p borough if
| it is so desired, but he did not see the
justice of spreading out to take in
! thousands of acres of uncultivated,
waste and unseated land for revenue
only, and by so doing take away the
resources of the township.
Judge Ward said Mr. Com eggs rep
resents lot of bondholders who do not
own the land but hold the securities for
some thousands of acres of coal land.
Mr.. DonahOe suggested to the court
that they take a street car ri1e and
obtain a good view Of the proposed
borough that an inspection of the map
cannot give. He also charged Civil
Engineer Thompson with doing some
tall swearing as to reducing distances
and areas. Nj. Donahoe asserted that
the entire area of the proposed bor-
ough is seven or eight thousand acres
and seven-eiehths of it are waste land
Judge Ward said on Mr.. Thompson

is not much over 5000 acres and only
