Land company against the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western company
the court made an order yesterday
directing the plaintiff to file a replica
tion to the defendants answer. The
case is set down for trial in equity
court.
Ella May Layman, who owns a lot
on Laurel street, Carbondale, yester-
day asked for rule to compel Maria
Cox and Lydia Dryden to bring an ac-
tion in ejectment for the land in ques
ton. She alleges that she wants to sell
the land, but cannot do so because the
Cox and Dryden women claim to own
the land. In order to have the title to
the land cleared the petitioner wants
this action brought.
Attorney James Fl. Torrey, represent
ing the Scranton Gas and Water COM
pany, asked for rule yesterday to
show cause why the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western company should
not be cited for contempt for violating
an order in an injunction case between
the parties. The injunction was to re-
strain the Delaware, -Lackawanna and
Western from dumping refuse AMI
waste matter at Nay Aug in such a
way as to contaminate the water sup
ply of the Gas and Water company.
Major Everett Warren, counsel for the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western,
said that he had written a letter to
General Superintendent Clarke, of that
company. calling his attention to the
fact that it is charged by the Gas and
Water company officials that the terms
of the agreement entered into at the
time Of the injunction are being yio-
lated. Court took the papers.

Attorney G. Comegys asked the court
yesterday morning to reopen the
equity suit of William Farrell and II.
Campbell against the Barber Asphalt
company, in which a decree was hand
ed down by the court some time ago,
sustaining the validity of the contract.
The object of the suit was to have
the contract entered into between the
city and the Barber Asphalt Paving
company for the repair of the city
streets for ten years declared invalid.
Mr. Comegys wanted the case re-
opened on the ground that the testi-
mony taken recently before Alderman
Fuller in the councinanic investiSa-
tlon proved that the contract was OBJ
tained by bribing city officials. At
torney l. III. Burns. counsel for the
Barber company, opposed the motion
on the ground that Mr.. Comegys had
not offered to prove the bribery he
alleges and made no offer to show
that he Is capable of proving it. AS
matter of fact, Mr.. Burns said, Mi.
Comegys could not prove 1t for the
reason that the lips of the men would
be sealed by the provision of the con-
stitution, which allows Il man to re-
fuse to answer If by so doing he will
jncriminate himself. The testimony
being taken before Alderman Fuller
cannot be used for any other purpose
Judge Archibald said the testimony
ought to be the same as adduced on
an application for a new trial on
the ground of after discovered evil
dence. Nothing of this kind had been
attempted.
ION the other hand" continued
Judge Archibald, "here for six months
there has been final decree of this
court on this bill. Presumably the
parties have acted upon that, the city
of Scranton on the one side. the Bar
her Asphalt company on the other;
the one doing the work. the other
making payments for it. Now by this
rehearing not only Would we wipe out
the decree but would enable the par
ties to go back and tear things UP
from the beginning. Any decree that
would be made after a reopening of
the case would go back to the very
beginning. We are not inclined to do
that"

TWO SEWER INSPECTORS.
Big Sewer in Bellevue Will Require
Their Services,

The immense size Of the sewer which
is about to be constructed in the
Sixth, Eighteenth and Fifteenth wards

spectors and a supplemental ordin-
ance providing for the appointment of
the extra inspector will be soon intro
duced in councils.
Mayor Moir has been besieged with
petitions requesting the appointment
of certain parties for the position of
inspector. but it is understood that he
will not deviate from his previous GUS
tom of permitting the interested coun-
cilmen to select the inspectors.
The contract for the construction of
the sewer has not yet been let, the
sewers and drains committee of select
council failing to report on the mat
ter at the last meeting. The commit
tee wi probably report at tonight's

Shiffer Wants a Permit.

Jacob L. Shiffer. through Attorney G..
Balentine, filed petition yesterday
asking the court to grant rule on
Building Inspector #. B. jackson to
compel him to show cause why he
should not grant a permit to Shiffer
for large building he desires to erect
at Franklin avenue and Mulberry
street. The rule was granted and made
returnable next Monday.
Shiffer began the construction of g
building some time ago on the prop
erty in question, but was restrained by
an injunction obtained by City Solic-
itor Vosburg, who alleged that Shiffer
was building on the ten-foot reserva-
ton. 1t is alleged that since then the
plans have been modified, but evidently
they do not as yet meet with the ap-
roval Of the building inspector.

LOVE STORY WELL TOLD.
Young Mans Clever Method of Win
ming N Confession from
His AdOred One.

She was pouring at tea that afternoon
and she looked unusually bewitching, says
the Smart Set. He was sitting at her left, In
4 bower of palms that almost concealed him.
He was holding one of her hands under
cover of the tablecloth, while she tried
10 pour with the other. She did not look
at him as he talked, but he knew by her
color and the little culver Of the hand he
was holding that she heard everything he
said. Dearest" he murmured, as she sent
one cup off without a spoon and another
filed only with whipped cream, dearest,
u you don't mind my saying all this to you,
just drop a spoon. Couldn't you manage
it" A clatter of silver and more color in
the girls face, as in STOPPING to pick up the
spoon he kissed her hand. Spurred by
this success, he went on: Dearest, h-if
you return it-that is, if you love me, you
know-just put three Jumps Of sugar into
the next cup you pour-'Y-e-s.' Or, if you
don't, two, to spell No" One, two, three!
The tiny cup was almost full, and in her
haste to hide her confession she covered the
three Jumps hastily with chocolate and
cream and sent them off. He asked his
mother as they drove home if she had en-
ioyed herself. ugh, MOI" was her disguised
reply "Such horrible stuff to drink as they
gave one. Why, my cup was half full of
sugar."

Miraculous Escape.

S. H. Clark, citizen of Brownsville,
came near losing his life last week. He
assisted some ladies on the cars and
failed to get off until she train had
gained considerable speed. Instead OF
stepping off in the direction the train
was moving he leaped off in the oppo-
site direction and was thrown on the
crossties under the car, where he lay
until the train passed over him. His
friends thought he had been killed and
were surprised to see him rise and walk
away. A few slight bruises were all
the injuries sustained.
