Lally Injunction Case.

There was a hearing before Judge
H. NJ. Edwards in chambers yesterday
in the case of Mary Lally to restrain
her father. John Lally from interfering
with the tenants of her mothers es-
tate in Bellevue. On March %, 1892,
Mrs. Lally, mother Of the plaintiff,
died. She named her daughter Mary
as executriX and by the terms of the
will the husband was to have life
interest in the estate, the daughter
to have charge of collecting the rents
and the management of the estate.
The object of the injunction is to
stop him from interfering now with
her in the care of the property. She
alleges he wants to collect the rent.
and that he does not use it carefully.
Under the law ne is entitled TO a l'fe
tenantcy of his wife's real estate after
her death, but the question in the case
is. Did he waive his rights in that re-
spect and allow his daughter to carry
out the provisions of the viii? At
torney John +. Murphy appeared for
the plaintiff and Senator J. c. Vaughan
for the defendant. Judge Edwards
took the papers.

FUNERAL OF MRS. MOORE.
Held From Her Late Residence on
Electric Avenue.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary Moore.
widow of the late Thomas Moore, was
held from the family residence on Elec-
trio avenue yesterday afternoon at 8
o'clock. A very large number of
friends gathered to express by their
presence the honor and affection in
which was held the memory of the
beautiful life just ended on earth.
Quantities of flowers filled every avail
able space.
The services We're conducted by Rev.
r. f. Y. Pierce, pastor of Penn Ave
nue. Baptist church, assisted by Rev.
Dr. A. A. MarDle, of Norristown, Pa,
father of Mr.. w. II. Marple, whose
wife is Mrs Moore's only daughter.
Mr.. Pierce read many comforting pas
sages of Scripture and followed with
a brief discourse based upon the
thought, He Giveth His Beloved
Sleep" and relating particularly to the
life of a Christian woman as eXempli-
fed by Mrs. Moore in her blessed earth
journey. He spoke of her tender char
ity and of the care for the suffering,
the distressed and the poor in the
thought in her heart which led to the
founding of the Home for the Friend
less. IteN. Df. MdiDle OUefeu prayer,
and a quartette from the Penn Ave-
nue. Baptist church, directed by Pro-
fessor Haydn Evans, sang "The Chris
tian's Good Night" and I'VE Shall
Meet Beyond the River" favorite
hymns of the deceased.
Funeral Director Price provided the
carriers. The honorary pail bearers
We're Nathan Hallstead, DR. y. Y. Leet.
William Silkman and B. F. Fillmore.
A touching incident which appealed to
those who followed their friend to her
flower hidden grave in Forest Hill, was
the silent line of children from the
Home for the Friendess who as the
COrtege passed, stood at the roadside
near the cemetery entrance with heads
| uncovered in honor of the noble friend
| who had ever been SO generous to this
| institution.
Among those in attendance from out

CONTRACTORS ARRESTED.
Fined $50 Apiece for Failing to Take
Out Building Permits-Claimed
No One Else was Doing It.

Contractors II. r. Hurlbutt and NJ.
e. Worden were fined $50 each yester-
day by Mayor Moir for falling to take
out n permit before beginning the con-
struction of a building. They were
arrested yesterday by Mounted Officer
Joseph Block on warrants sworn out
by Building Inspector Jackson and
given a hearing before the mayor in
police court at O'clock.
Both paid the fines, but not without
a vigorous kick Their defense was
that other contractors are not observ-
ing the law and that they did not pro-
pose to pay the fees when no one else
was doing 1t.
Building Inspector Jackson says that
he made a tour Of the city and found
that where there We're twenty-three
buildings in course Of construction
only one was warranted by a permit
from his work. He ordered work sus-
pended in every instance until he ap-
proves the plans and a permit was
taken out.
Contractors Hurlbutt, Worden and
r. n. La Bar neglected to obey his
orders. He waited a reasonable length
of time and when they did not come
in for permits had the warrants issued.
Mr.. La Bar will be arrested today.

they Cthe street railway people, wanted

understanding. I said 800 wasn't
enough TO pay any mans (election) eX.
pcnses and as long as they were will
ing to pay they ought to pay enough.
Jermyn asked me what we would be
satisfied with and I told him we would
be satisfied with $500, $1,000 or St,5)O"
Coyne further admitted that he did
some work in getting signatures TO "A
petition for n borough and was paid
for his services by p. W. Gallagher,
although he was not hired by him.
Robert STAFF, another member OF the
council, said that he was given a street
car pass by Mr. Gallagher, but It was
not rendered TO him until after the Or
dinance had passed. Mr.. Gallagher,
made no effort to influence his vote.
KENNEDY'S TESTIMONY.
Burgess Andrew Kennedy said he did
some work for the Street Railway
company as civil engineer. His bill
was $23 and sometime after he was
elected he received n check from Cen
eral Manager Silliman for $13. Before
he became n candidate for burgess he
asked Mr.. Sillman for a subscription
to help defray the expenses of tho
borough and was promised $50. 1t was
not paid until after he was elected
burgess and then it came as one check
with his personal account Jf $23. He
returned the check. He was not offer
ed n pass. He had one for some time
before he became burgess.
He testified that part of the proposed
line will run through the land Of
George Drake and Pennsylvania Coal
company. Those whA oppose the or
dinance allege that this of itself nulll-
fies it as the law requires that where
such a road passes through private
property the consent of such property
owners must be secured. That has not
been done in this case it is asserted.
Kennedy said he was present at the
meeting of the councilmen in the Rock
away hotel but he denied that they
had sent a representative to General
Manager Slliman to ask 81, 900 for him,
$1,000 for Ed. Jermyn and $500 each
for the four councilmen present.
George Drake and William Repp
We're called and gave unimpOrtant tes-
timonv. An effort was made to show
by Repp that the ordinance under con-
sideration does not properly protect the
right of the citizens, but the court re-
fused to hear testimony on that point
holding that the council and burgess
We're the ones to consider that matter.
The hearing will be resumed this
morning. A considerable amount of
testimony is yet to be offered by the
Complainants.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-07-25

the plaintiffs claim 10 have the $4,000
paid by Moore is the fact that Watkins
and Williams sustained loss of $1,000
by their boring and testing operations.
Without these there Is not the least
ground to sustain their claim.
"If that fact did not exist they cer-
tainly had no right in law or morals
to recover the money claimed. II then
it was true that they never furnished
the money expended for testing pur-
poses but Fellows furnished it all,
they sustained no loss and there was
no kind of consideration for the al
legged promise of Moore. What
the court said as to the incompetency
of Williams was correct. 1t is not en-
tirely clear that the cause should have
been withdrawn from the jury with a
binding instruction for the defendant.
1--WE think it was error to refuse the
defendants offer to read the declara-
tion, or statement, to the jury. With
out 1t they could not know whether
the testimony sustained the plaintiffs
claim. The judgment is reserved and
new venire awarded"
THE JESsUP CASE.
The other opinion was in the case of
Joseph II. Gunstcr, assignee, appellant,
against George A. Jessup and others.
Among other things the opinion says:
while it does not appear that there
was any specific appropriation of any
particular payments made by the
bondsmen, 1t did appear very clearly
that the payments they did make were
largely in excess Of the whole penalty
Of the bond and the payment being act
ually applied to the eXtinguishment of
George A. Jessup's indebtedness to the
bank we think the learned court below
was entirely right in submitting the
question whether the bond had been
paid or not to the jury for their deci-
sion.
"It is not necessary to review the
testimony in detail or to dwell upon
the various aspects. 1t certainly did
raise the question of actual payment
of the whole amount which could in
any event be claimed under the bond.
and the jury has decided that question
in favor of the defendants. This YER
dict was satisfactory to the learned
judge who tried the case and it is sat
iSfaCtory to us. The case was twice
tried and the first verdict being against
lie ueLenudlltS was set aSlue Dy Judge
Mcpherson, who presided at the trial.
because he regarded it as against the
weight Of the evidence.
After a careful examination of the
testimony We are of opinion that the
verdict on the last trial was Just and
proper. We do not think that there
is any error on the part of the court
in the matters covered by the several
assignments and they are therefore
| dismissed. Judgment affirmed"

YOUNG CHILD POISONED.
The Two-Year Old Son of Patrick
Breen Drinks from a Bottle of
Eve Wash.

The oft repeated mistake Of placing
poisonous fluids Within the reach Of
children was unfortunately made at
the home of Patrick Breen, of PittstOn
avenue, yesterday, resulting in the
death of his bright son, Joseph, aged
two years.
The mother of the child has been
suffering from eye trouble for some
time, and during the day she made
several applications OF atropia to her
eyes.
About supper hour last night she
used the wash and thoughtlessly laid
it down Joseph seeing the bottle,
climbed to it and drank nearly
drahm of the fluid. He was instantly
seized with severe pain and was un-
able TO speak,
He pointed to the bottle and the hor-
rifed mother dispatched messenger
for DR.. John Walsh whose Office is
close at hand For an hour the doctor
worked on the little fellow and ap-
piled stomach pump. Or. Walsh
gave up all hopes of saving his pa
TENTS life and was astonished that he
lived an hour. He died at II o'clock.

TO MAKE MONTHLY REPORTS.
Controller Bent on Preventing &
Repetition of Bailey Dispute.

City Controller Howell has given
notice to all the heads of departments
of the municipal government who col
lect fines or fees that they are re-
quired under the law to make monthly
returns to the treasurer and that he
proposes to see that the law is en-
forced.
His purpose i'm being insstent on
this is to prevent a repetition Of the
dispute now existing between the city
and eX-Mayor Bailey as to the amount
owing from police fines. The control
ler's audit fixes it at 81, 500, but the ex-
mayor contends that it is only 5000
The accounts are in such a condition
that it is question which way q
court and jury would decide.
