GUNSTER FIXES LIMIT.
West Ridge Coal Company Must Re-
move It's Fan House and En-
gines Not Later Than
July 90, 1899.

july 20, 1899. was yesterday fixed by
Judge Gunster as the limit of time in
which the West Ridge Coal company
must comply with the mandate of the
supreme court, directing it to remove
it's mine machinery and other improve
ments from the three-acre plot in the
Electric City Land and Improvement
company's tract in Providence.
The land company purchased the sur
face of the tract from the Won Storch
estate. The West Ridge company
leased the coal in the bottom veins,
the Delaware and Hudson company
having secured control of the upper
veins. The coal company purchases
three acres of the surface and despite
q clause in the deed which directly
forbade It, tho coal company proceeded
to sink a shaft and erect and maintain
a fan house, and other mine buildings
on the plot.
The land company applied for an in
junction in the local courts in June,
1898, to restrain the coal company from
proceeding with the offensive opera
tions. The injunction was refused but
the supreme court in October last re-
versed the lower court awarded the
company should forthwith cease oper-
ating the shaft and remove the surface
buildings. Instead of doing this, how
ever, the coal company continued its
mining operations and came into court
with petition for a modification of the
supreme court decree whereby the pc
titioner would be granted reasonable
time for making such changes as were
necessary to comply with the injunc-
tion order.
In support of the petition it was ar
gued that If the shaft was abandoned
at once the gas and water would ac-
cumulate and not only damage the Pc
titioners' workings, but also the work.
ings of the Delaware and Hudson COM
pany in the upper veins which are con-
nected in various ways with the West
Ridge workings. The danger that the
workmen of the Delaware and Hudson
company would be subjected to was
also put forward as an argument in
support of the petition.
The land company opposes the mcdi-
| fcation on the ground that it was not
made in good faith that the coal COM
pany could have made the necessary
changes without any delay and that
| the petition for the MODIFICATION was
nothing more or less than = ruse to
fortify against possible prosecution
for contempt of court.
Judge Gunster however, believes that
it would be unjust to enforce immedi-
ate compliance with the supreme
courts mandate and gives the coal
company until July 20, 1859, to make
the changes, providing it files bond
in the sum of $4,000 to indemnify the
land company for damages.

Miss Ida Bryant, who was so serious
~ injured in the Carbon street cross

bruises and cuts on almost every part
of her body. None of the injuries were
of themselves of fatal nature and it
was hoped until about a week ago that
she would recover. Blood poisoning

and terrible death came as a climax
to her awful suffering
She was % years Of age and a dress

INVITATION TO REV. PIERCE
Asked to Deliver Course of Lectures
at Los Angeles, Cal.

The pastor of the Penn Avenue Bap-
tist church has for the second time
been invited to deliver a course of lee
lures at the Mid-Winter Assembly and
School Of Methods Of the Epworth
leagues of the Pacific coast. The eX-
ecutive committee urgently request Mr..
Pierce to give seven or eight addresses
during their convention, to be held in
Los Angeles, California, next Febru-
ary, q to "a. The convention has rep
resentatives from all of the Epworth
leagues on the Pacific coast and west
of the Rockies.
1t is doubtful that Mr.. Pierce will
accept the invitation in consequence
of the large number of sick of the con-
gregation, and other calls for special
pastoral ministries at this time. He
feels that the present work of the
church is progressing in such marked
degree that 1t might be unwise for him
to be absent for the length of time the
western trip would require.

IN ALDERMAN HowE's COURT
Two Cases in Which He Was Called
Upon to Act Yesterday.

A. G.. Olinski, OF Lackawanna ave-
nue., was before Alderman Howe yes
terday charged with defrauding F. X.
Dolan. of Franklin avenue. out of a
$3.50 board bill. Dolan alleged that
Olniski boarded with him week and
then skipped out, taking his baggage
with him. The evidence did not sub
stantiate the claim that Olniski acted
fraudulently and the alderman dis
missed the case.
A warrant was issued during the af-
ternoon by Alderman Howe for the
arrest of John p. Williams, Of Luzerne
street, on a charge of assault and bat
terry, preferred by a neighbor Stanis-
laus Polowski. The latter alleges that
williams attacked him and beat him
over the head with a dinner pail, in
flicting numerous cuts and bruises. An
officer was looking for Williams last
night.

In another column will be found an

the great necessity of supporting the

The matter has for some time past
been receiving the attention OF the oftl-

appointed consisting of Colonel +. l..
Hitchcock, Colonel f. II. Ripple and
George G. Mahy, general secretary of
