it was contcnded that it's charter was
invalid as far as those streets were

stead, of Harrisburg. while the de-
fendant company was represented by
City Solicitor A. A. Vosburg. of this
city. and Silas W. Petit. of Philadel-
phia.
The attorneys for the Scranton Rail-
way company offered three separate
and distinct arguments showing cnusa c
why the charter should be annul!eh
They contended that the Speedway
company proposed to occupy streets
included in the franchises previously
granted to companies now merged iUto
the Scranton Railway company.
They contended that under the act
of 1889, under which the Speedway
company was chartered that no street
railway company could be lncorpor-

this act. they argued. the Speedway
company intended to run it's road over
parts of the city which We're not pub

Their third contention was that the
franchise granted the Speedway COM
pany permitted it to run its tracks
over the Roaring Brook bridge Il

They argued that under the law no

than it had to the Joint occupancy Of

franchises lapsed and were forfeite l

and spiritualist who died in 1890. 1t
was he who wrote the new Bible, which
is the daily guide and religious mentor

held In deepest reverence and the be-

Mormons bestow on Brigham Young
