HEARING IN A TREsPAss CASE
1t Was Held at the Office of the City
Solicitor.

There was hearing in City Solicitor
Vosburg's office yesterday in the action
in trespass brought by Mrs. Anna
Neureuter, of Pittston avenue, against
the city. Mrs. Neureuter claims S., 900
damages from the city for injuries
done to her health and property. by an
overlooking culvert in Kirst court.
Mrs. Neureuter is represented by At
torneys ]. II. Burns and M. ]. Dona-
hoe, and claims that during the winter
of '96-97 the culvert became clogged
with dirt and debris and overhowed,
flooding the cellar of her house, the
water being ten feet deep.
She claims that the shrubbery and
arbors around her house were de-
stroyed. and the cement floor of the
cellar was made damp and unhealthy.
The cellar wall was damaged to such
an extent that 1t was necessary to
build a new one, the value of the prop
erty decreased, and she was put to the
expense of pumping the water out of
the cellar. She was unable to secure
tenants for the house, on account of
the condition it was left in by the over
flow, and in addition to all this, the
plaintiffs health was impaired, rheu-
matism setting in.
All yesterday afternoon was spent In
hearing the testimony of the witnesses
for the prosecution, and the hearing
VIII be continued today.

OBSTACLES WILL
ALL BE OVERCOME
President Thorne Sanguine That the
New Road Will Be Built Be-
fore Next Year Is Out.

President w. V. S. Thorne, of the
Delaware Valley and Kingston Rail-
road company was in the city yester
day, in conference with President
George r. Smith, of the Erie and wy
oming, and other officials of the COM
panies allied with the new road.
Mr.. Thorne was seen last evening
at the Jermyn by a Tribune man, and
expressed himself sanguine thatt the
Delaware Valley and Kingston road
will be a reality before the winter of
1901.
1T is simply a question now," said
he, "of how soon we can clear away
the legal obstacles that the opposing
roads have piled in our path. We have
no misgivings as to the outcome. The
decision of the Appellate court, which
has in hand the constitution of the
matter to overthrow the finding of the
New York Railroad commission will be
handed down some time this month
and we are satisfied to q moral cer-
tainty that the motion will be dis
missed and the commissioners find
ing in our favor approved.
our appeal from Judge Purdy's
decision and the Fries appeal from
Judge Simonton's decision, on the
question of our right 10 construct the
branch from Hawley to Lackawaxen
will be argued before the superior
court in October at Pittsburg. The
two judges are directly at variance on
the identical same question. Judge
Simonton's decision is the later and
was made with Judge Purdy's opinion
at hand. This, in itself encourages us
to look for a favorable ruling from
the Supreme court"
AS an indication of his company's
assurance that the legal difficulties
will be readily overcome, President
| Thorne pointed to the extensive i'm
| provements that are being made In
anticipation of the Erie & Wyoming
being expanded into a tidewater road
Among these improvements were men
| toned the enlargement of the yard
| at Avoca, erection of new and i'm
mcnse shops at DunmoTe, the replac'
| ing of bridges and strengthening OF
culverts, the Strengthening of curves
and relaying of rails and the construc'
| ton of network of branch roads tC
connect up the different collieries tha
are to ship their output on the new
| road

SENATOR MORGAN.

From the St. Louis Globc-Democrat (Rep).
 John T. Morgan of Alabama has been reelected to the Senate by the unani- nous vote of each branch of the Legisla- ture. This will make his fifth consecutive election. He entered the Senate in 1877, and his present term will expire in 1901 The one for which he has just been chosen runs on till 1897. The Senator is now little over 76 years of age, but is robust both physically and mentally He is B very creditable official Morgan is broad :. minded and philosophical and is in en- tire harmony with the Republican party on the question of expansion. In this re- spect he is in line with the majority of the Southern Democrats. Flag -furling is unpopular in the South. Bryan got 142 of his 155 electoral votes in the South, but most of the men who supported him in that quarter did so on the presumption that he would be defeated in the North and, West. The South did not put on mourning on account of the Bryanite smash-up on November G.

Appropriations for Normal Schools

Normal schools in most/of the States. are normal schools-that is to say. they are schools strictly and wholly devoted to the training of teachers. They are not local high schools The Alabama Normal School is combination of the two, being chiefly a local school.
 Ii is manifestly unjust to support a high school in one county and not in another; but this difficulty could perhaps be obvl- ated by paying under proper restrictions and safeguards the tuition fees of a certain number of students who may bind them selves to teach two years in the public schools of the State. The maximum pay ments on such account might be named.
 Unless something of this nature be done there is trouble ahead for the normal schools; for there is no more reason why the State should conduct local high schools in four towns than in at least forty other towns; and the sooner the State appro- priatien is put upon teaching basis the better it would be for the normal school.
