The three; hinged circus which had
been billed for Tuesday evening WAS the
be It show of its kind ever seen i'll this
city 1t lasted from 5 o'clock Tuesday
evening until 7:30 o'clock Wednesday
morning. There was all kinds Of fusion
edies between acts and the spectators
enjoying 1t Immensely The partci-
pants in the exhibition, II at least a
good many of them, had II good deal of
fan themselves; but, oh, the many sole
heads Wednesday morning, The FMS
ion brand had been on tap all night.
Along towards morning, by almost
superhuman efforts, Col Parker, using
W. A. Clarks recipe, by the able assis-
tance of Lonnie himself finally sue
ceeded in fustng the elements. There
Wee, however, not enough offices to 20
around and trouble is brewing. a nn
tiny among the ranks of the triple ali
ance is now unavoidable Clark demo-
Gratis, Hoss democrats, Bryan democrats,
populists and silver republicans alike
are out with long knives. The war of
determination stage has been reached.
There is going to be fight and there II
be razors flying in the air.
The Hoss Bryan democrats were on
exhibition at McDonald's opera house !;
the Abbey silver republicans had their
snow at Morse's hail, and the populists
were comfortably quartered in Fire
mems hall. Early Tuesday evening each
of the conventions appointed a fusion
conference &C committee, and all net in
the rooms formerly occupied by the
NJ
opera house block. There they had at
their disposal various fuxes, and the
long, weary hours of the night We're
passed by making numerous expert
ments according to the many recipes
and chemicals on hand in their exten-
sive labratory. Col. Parker finally Sue
to w. A. Clark's recipe, which he had
with HIM. 1t mixed all right for the
time being, but it positively refuses to
stay mixed.
While the fusion committees We're
performing the laborious task of mixing,
and blending, and remixing the fusion
mixture, the delegates amused them
selves at their respective headquarters
as best they could. The Hoss Bryan
democrats at the opera house gave an
imitation of the vaudeville performances
w. A. Clark will introduce during the
present campaign. there were songs,
orations, clog dances, etc. At Morse s
hall Hughie Cumming was telling the
BOYS that Fusz and his push would
not get single vote in Granite this
year; that the conditions of two years
ago were entirely reversed, and that in
stead of Fusz running them they were
running Fusz. Johnnie Kennedy was
at his best and felt delighted at the
prospect Of being able to hope for an
other two years of prosperity His at
tentive listeners were amazed at the
great quantity of political vindication
spirit he had accumulated all of sud
den and at his determination to exter
inmate Fusz and the Standard Oil com
pany. Johnnie won't do thing tC
them after the ratification meeting next
month. The populists at their head
quarters were the most contented OF
them all. They made things AS com
fortabl for themselves as possible unde

went to sleep, leaving instructions to b.

There were 6,S43 paid admissions to
the grounds last night, which would
indicate that the public knows a good
thing when it sees it and that the fair
will be a big success.
Fred Godfrey, proprietor of the Jer-
myn, took six of his commercial ira
veler friends out to the fair last night
and thereby hangs a tale. They had
seen Hi-Ki, the man snake, the Boer
war pictures, the streets of Cairo and
several other things and at last wound
up at the streets of all nations. Here
they rode upon the elephant and rode
him without difficulty.
Then some one suggested riding the
camels, which were kneeling down,
looking very peaceful and mild. Mr..
Godfrey and his friend, A. P. Shauer.
of Chicago, were the only ones who
took kindly to this suggestion and
they both mounted the humps of a
very gentle looking camel. The Ara
bian driver said unto the camel arise,
which the camel did.
Now camels when they rise rise very
suddenly, which fact Mr.. Godfrey and
his friends were not prepared for.
They accordingly arose with the camel
and several feet in the air above him,
landing in due time on the ground.
Mr.. Shauer escaped unhurt, but Mr..
Godfrey's hand was badly bruised.
THE next time we get on a camel
We'll get on him when he's on his
feet" said Mr.. Godfrey, and Mr..
Shauer murmered "Amen."
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-05-24

Ridge turnpike is not to be a free
road after all; at least not for the
present. The report of the board OF
viewers condemning the road and fix
ing the damages at $17,5OO, which was
excepted to by the county commits
sloners, was yesterday set aside by
Judge Archibald on the ground that
the reason set forth for the condem-
nation is insufficient.
The viewers advanced as the reason
mot one of several, but the only one
for condemning the road, that there
should be no toll roads in cities or
boroughs of this commonwealth, for
the reason that the city or borough
authorities would have no control over
the laying OF sidewalks or the con-
struction of sewers"
This being the only reason advanced,
the report must depend entirely upon
it, the court says, it being an insult
ficient reason, the report falls.
The statutes provide that cities and
boroughs may enter upon any turn
pike within their limits for the bur
pose of improving them, Judge Arch
bald goes on to say, and, in the opin-
ion by Judge Edwards in the Abing-
ton turnpike case, ii was held that a
city may construct a sewer on a toll
road within its limits. After holding
that there is abundant authority for
both cities and boroughs to improve
a toll road without first having it con-
demned, Judge Archibald says:
1t was a serious mistake on the part OF the
viewers to suppose that the road had first to be
freed from tolls. The present road starts in the
city Of Scranton and extends through a portion
Of the adjoining boroughs Of Throop and Dickson
II either OF these municipalities consider it ad
visable to grade, pave or lay sidewalks along oil
upon it, it has merely to move in the manner
provided by the statutes quoted; and il q sewel
is found necessary it can be constructed with
even less fomality than that. The reason giyer
by the viewers for condemnng the road is, there
fore, an erroneous and entirely indeiensible one
and their action cannot be sustained.
1t is also bad upon another ground Sidewalk,
and sewers local improvements designed tc
a large extent for the benefit OF property owner,
in the immediate vicinity, and the general pub
lie have but a remote and limited interest there
in. II is because OF this that the expense o
their construction is put as a rule upon the sd
joining properties. In recognition OF this tn,
action Of 1874 in the section quoted provides that
when city finds 1t necessary to improve turn
pike within its limits, it must itself condemn
and pay for what it appropriates. The viewers
however, in disregard of this, free this road ant
put the cost upon the general public for the
purpose Of clearing the way for local improve
ments and benefits.
This is altogether mistaken view Of thu
purpose Of the statute. It was passed to unfette
highways which the whole community are inter
ested to have free and OF that general benefit W,
must be thoroughly convinced before we car
sanction the condemnation. II the benefit to b,
derived is local merely, there is no justification
for it, Allegheny and Butler Plank Road, A
Pitts. Leg Jour. 4sl; and that, according to tn,
finding OF the viewers, is all that there is here
