TIE PAVING AFFAIRS.
Answer OF the borough Council In tn
motion suit.

motion suit.
The street paving work T. practically at a
stanu still. Sev,ttl mtn are at work, but
they are only engaged in tutting the cement
filing between the bricks that have been
laid between lloyd aud Coal streets. Con-
tractor iirtt SAYS the suspension Of opera
tions is due tu The failure Of consignment
Of sand tu arrive aud this delay is attributed
10 the iu8lil Is &C the railroad company to
yet the consignment through ON account Of
he reat iush Of coal aud freight traffic over
the lines
This uditiou Of affairs is generally regret
ted, as il had teen confidently looked upon
with certainty that the paving between
Lloyd aud Coal t ects would be completed
during the present week. As the work
now stands ouy about two-thirds of the
-trcct W, ST Of the railway track is paved aud
practically little paving has been done on the
east side and between the rails, although
quite a space las bren prepared with concrete,
ready for the brick when the sand arrives
In the meantime the Schuylkill Traction
Company and the borough officials are busy
preparing for the argument Of the injunction
suit brought against the borough by the rail-
road company. The case is to be argued next
Monday. To-day several witnesses went to
Pottsvile ON subpoena issued at the in
stance Of the railway company, for appear
ance before Commissioner Martin f. Moore,
appointed to take testimony in behalf Of the
company prepa atory to the argument on the
3Oth inst
Borough Solicitor Burke has prepared the
answer Of the borough in the injunction suit.
The answer admits that the railway made a
proposition to the borough to bear its proper
tion of the street paving and as to the sub b.
stitutOn of the rails and sills now used for
| the old rails and strngers, but denies that
| the proposition provided for or requested per
mission to use ''T'' rods or cross rods between
the rails.
| The answer also admits that the rods were
| removed by direction of the street committee
| Of Council, but after due and proper notice
| from Council to the company to remove the
same, and aft refusal of the company tC
comply with the notice that the rods were
not injured in any way in the removal, and
are now in as good condition as when put il
hy the company.
The Borough also AYERS that the company
had no right or authority whatever, to place
the rods that there was and is no necessity
for the rods that the tracks are securely
fastened t0 cross ties AMI firmly held ant
oriced in position by concrete, cement auC
bricks used ia paving that the rods were al
obstruction t. aud interference with Tho
proper use by the public Of the street, anC
that the paving cou not have been don,
properly, in i workmIu'ike manner, and il
a way to SECURE safety t. the travelling publ,
were the rods permitted to remain Tht
answer concludes with a request that tn,
court dismiss the bill in equity with costs.

Closed Up Two Stands While soI@
dIers Were in Jacksonville.
jacksonville, Fla, Nov 29-Two imports
ant suits, involving tsle right Of the mIli-
tary authority to close stores which are
considered detrimental to the health Of
soldiers, were decided to-day,
The United States was the real defend-
ant In both, although both were directed
against Col. w. T. Durbin, who commands
ed the One Hundred and sixty-first Indi-
ana Regiment in Jacksonville In the Gang
of 1888.
Two merchants who established stores
near the regiment and sold fruit, liquor
and other prohibited articles. and who.
refused to close on request, were ordered
to close by Col Durbin.
Both brought suit, claiming heavy dam
ages, and In one the verdict gave S300 ana
in the other the finding was for the de-
fendant.
The claim for damages was based on tho
alleged forcible manner in which the
stands were closed. and the threats that
were said to have been made by the colo-
mel
The court charged that the military au-
thority had the right to resort to the clos
ing OF the stores II the evidence showed
that the injury to soldiers was real and
not imagined, and to use force, II neces-
sary.
