To Prevent Breach of Contract.

CoWperthwaite g. Berghauser, of 4OG
Lackawanna avenue. yesterday secured
preliminary injunction restraining the
Scranton Carpet company from mov-
ing its stock from the plaintiffs store.
1t is alleged that the Carpet COM
pany contracted to place line of car
pets on exhibition sale in the plaintiffs
store. for two years from Nov. 20, 1899,
the plaintiffs to handle the goods and
receive 10 per cent. of the sales. Last
Saturday the carpet company, it Is al
legged. began to move out it's stock and
thereby violated the contract.
The injunction restrains them from
doing this until March s, at l.3O d. M.
when arguments will be heard on a
rule to make 1t permanent.

Other Opinions and Orders.

In the case of Swift and others
against Walsh and others a new trial
was allowed by Judge Archibald, be-
cause of an error in the charge of the
court.
This is the somewhat celebrated cow
case that has already had two trials.
The plaintiffs are suing to recover the
value of a COW which they bought of
the defendants and which shortly af-
terward died. At the last trial of the
case the files were missing and it was
agreed that the action should proceed
as one based on express warranty. In
delivering the charge the trial judge
said, among other things: "If you
find that the COW was sick, but that
the defendants did not know of it,
your judgment will be for the defend
ant" This, Judge Archibald says, is
manifest error and on the strength
of 1T he awards new trial.
The COW cost S45. The expenses of
the litigation thus far will not fall far
short of $500.
Alderman Thomas Saltry's Judgment
in the case of the commonwealth
against BARLEY Morrison was reversed
Morrison was charged by James Sal
Gated, disorderly and profane on the
city streets. He was fined $5 and costs
and in default was committed to the
county Jail for thirty days.
An appeal was taken on the ground
that the city ordinance of Oct. 90 1866
under which the arrest and conviction
were made. was repealed by later
ordinance. that of April 2, 1894, or the
new police ordinance, as 1t is familiar
~ --nown.

verses the alderman.

Yer allowing Dominick Healey $40 for

In an opinion supplementary to the
opinion in the Levers case handed down
by Judge Archibald yesterday, practi-
cally declares the foot front rule of
making assessments to be unconstitu-
tional when 1t altogether ignores the
question of accruing benefits, as was
done by the city in the Levers case.
Mrs. Levers property is located on
the corner of Lafayette street and
Decker court. She was assessed for
rewer on both sides of her property.
Other properties on the opposite side
Of the court which had their frontage
on Main avenue were exempted from
the assessment because they had al
ready been assessed and paid for a
sewer on North Main avenue.
This exemption. Judge Archibald de-
clared, was wrong. If Mrs. Levers
property can be assessed by the foot
front rule on its front and one side,
the opposite properties could also by
the same principle be assessed front
and rear by as many feet as abutted
on the line of both sewers. On the
strength Of this he discharged the rule
for judgment which had been applied
for by the city.
Yesterdays supplemental opinion will
cause change in the manner of maxi
ing local assessments, unless it can
be overthrown in an appeal. 1t says:
"Since writing the above l have had
my attention called to the case of
Norwood against Baker, 172 Y. S., 269,
which fully vindicates the refusal to
give judgment in favor Of the city.
1t was there held. by the United States
supreme court, that the exaction from
the owner of private property of the
cost of a public improvement in SUBJ
stantial excess of the special benefits
accruing to him, is, to the extent of
such excess, a taking. under the guise
Of taxation, Of private property for
public use without compensation. and
that where the assessment Is made
under rule which precludes any in
quiry as to the actual benefits received.
the whole assessment will be enjoined
without going into proof as to the ex-
cess.
The state against Newark, 81 n. j.,
AIS, referred to above, is cited, among
others. as authority for this position.
Following the decision in Norwood
against Baker 1t was held in Loeb
against Columbia township, 81 Federal
Reporter, 81, by the United States cir
cult court, for the Southern district
of Ohio, that a statute which provides
for the assessment of the entire cost
of public improvement on abutting
property by the foot-front rule, with
out reference to the special benefits,
rests the assessment on an illegal basis,
and is void, as in controvention of the
fourteenth amendment of the Federal
constitution. prohibiting the taking Of
private property without due process
of law. This exposition by the United
States courts of the supreme law of
the land deprives the case of Michener
against Philadelphia. 11s Pa. 535, of
its authority, and effectually Overturns
the double assessment against the de-
fendant, Mrs. Levers, on which the
present action by the city is based.
r. w. Archibald, p. j."
City Solicitor A. A. Vosburg filed ex.
ceptions to the opinion and court or.
dered them duly noted.
