night, crying for help.
Mrs. John Rusnock called on him
the next day and reproached him for
attempting to sCald her. Michael did
not tell the witness how he was scald-
ed, but manifested ignorance of all
that happened the previous night.
Martin Drabic. former boarder at
Rusnock's. then gave his testimony.
On the night of Aug. II he was the
witness of a quarrel between Michael
Rusnock and the boarding mistress,
caused by her telling him that he must
leave the house if ne continued drink
ing. Michael seized her by the throat
and he( Drabic) separated them. Lat
er in the night ne saw Mrs. Rusnock
after the scalding took place and she
told him that Michael had scalded
himself in an effort to injure her.
John Rusnock, cousin of the dead
man, in whose house the scalding
occurred, was then put on the stand.
He testified that on the night in ques-
tion his cousin abused his wife's
mother, at which she told him that he
must leave the house inside a week,
and added that she no longer intended
to keep boarders. Later on Michael
attacked the witness and struck him
twice over the head with a beer bot
tie, at which he sought refuge in an
other room. Michael then turned his
attention to Mrs. Rusnock, with the
result that he himself was scalded.
This concluded the evidence and the
jury soon after delivered tie verdict.
The funeral of Michael Rusnock
took place yesterday afternoon.

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT.
Ordinance for the Viaduct Is to Be
Presented at Once for Consid-
Grafton of Councils.

The prospects for commencing the
work of constructing a viaduct over
the West Lackawanna avenue cross
ing of the Lackawanna railroad before
the snow flies are exceedingly bright.
Should councils rush the viaduct Or
dinance through as quickly as possl-
bic, and, If there are no serious legal
tangles, there is no earthly reason
why there should be any delay in
constructing the long-needed and
much-talked-of improvement.
The proposition of the two companies
to construct the viaduct is to be sent
in writing to the streets and bridges
committee Of common council, in
whose hands the viaduct ordinance
introduced early this year by Mr..
Godshall still remains.
This committee will bring in the
amendments which II will be neces-
sary to add to the ordinance. These
amendments have been prepared by
City Solicitor Vosburg and are now
in the hands of the officials of both
companies for their consideration.
The principal one provides that the
contractor shall look to the companies
for his pay, though he Will enter into
a contract with the city. This Is to
relieve the municipality from any di-
rect liability. Other amendments per-
NIT the Scranton Railway company to
construct its tracks on the viaduct
and to use Seventh and Linden streets
temporarily while the structure is be-
ing built.
There may be a few kickers In both
branches who will object TO erecting
a Viaduct in the center of the street.
but they viii be few and far between,
it is thought and there is every rea-
son to believe that the ordinance will
be passed, and quickly too. That il
will receive the mayors signature is
accepted as certain.
The point raised by Judge Knapp
that as the only money the city will
have to pay will be the damages to
property owners, there will be no need
for a special election. the debt thus
contracted being not such a debt as
was contemplated when a debt limit
was fixed, has caused deal of dis
cussion among the lawyers, but the
opinion seems TO prevail that the
point raised is a good one.
A prominent attorney in converse
tiOn yesterday afternoon with a Trib-
une man said that damages caused
by erecting the Viaduct could be
charged up against the city without
the consent of the taxpayers, Just as
damages caused by the overflow OF
surface water or by the opening of a
street are. IF this ordinance passes, >
said, he, II can see no reason why the
work of erecting the viaduct should
not go on at once"
City Engineer Phillips believes that
he will succeed in having inserted In
the plans and specifications a pro,
vision for the paving of the viaduct
with asphalt.

Mrs. Mary ]. Vessels, of S24 West

the Lackawanna hospital yesterday,
with both arms broken, as the result

day the latter decided that it would
be better for her to be treated at the
hospital, and she was accordingly
taken there.

Heretofore a Methodist minister
could serve one church only five years
consecutively, with the concurrence of

ment to the discipline, however, the

CHANGE is APPROVED.
This action of the General Confer
ence seems TO meet with the general
approval Of the church, although some
OF the old ministers regarded the itin-
eracy as one Of the very foundations of
the great Methodist organization.
II is thought that city churches will
be benefieiaries Of the conferences ac-
tiOn. for they will now be able to OBJ
tain the reappointment Of ministers of
ability.
Three ministers are serving the fifth
consecutive year OF their pastorate in
Wilmington. They are the Rev. w. l..

Rev. r. b. Short, of Epworth Church,
and the Rev. w. w. White, of Silver

bonds bind the iron rails together so
there will be a good path for the cur
rent which runs along the rails in its

bonds on this line are unusually heavy,
and are above ground, as the rails of
the line are T-shaped instead of fiat.

discovery been made early, the line
would have been badly crippled. as
