Two New Trespass Suits.

Suit for $4,000 damages was insti-
t,ited yesterday by John Murray and
Martin Murray against the Greenwood
Coal company. C.. II. Soper is the plain

while in the act of hitchng a team of
mules to u trip of cars, the mules
started up and he was thrown under
the cars, suffering the loss of his right
leg.

brought suit against the Scranton Rail
way company for $4,000 for personal
injuries and damages to his buggy, re-

TREASURES AT Low EBB
School Teachers Have to 90 to a
Bank to Have Their Orders Cashed.
Treasurers Are Complaining.

City school teachers who We're paid
yesterday. had to go to the Third Ma
tional bank to have their orders cashed.
The school district treasury is depleted
and the city was unable to loan it any
money, as has been the wont in such
emergencies. because of there being but
very little cash in the municipal strong
box. The school board arranged with
the bank for a temporary loan of $15.-
900 to meet salary and other pressing
claims during the interim that will
elapse before the tax duplicates are
| ready for the collectors.
The city had only $4,000 at it's COM
mand. yesterday morning, but during
the afternoon, iE response to a requisi-
tion from Treasurer Robinson, a $4,000
check was received from County Treas
urer Scranton to apply on the $l3S.OOO
that was still owing the city from
liquor license fund.
This makes 0.0OO that has been paid
over to the city, thus far by Treasurer
Scranton. Treasurer Robinson is COM
planning that it is not dealt out more
literally. Treasurer Scranton points
out that he has already RENTED as
much as Treasurer Kelly paid over al
together last year, when the revenue
from liquor licenses was only $685. 900, as
against $l64,G6C this yeal under the
doubled fee.
When the matter of TIE complaint of
Treasurer Robinson and the treasurers
of the other municipalities throughout
the county was laid before Treasurer
Scranton, yesterday, he stated that
under the law this money is not due
to the municipalities until September l,
and that any payments made by Il
county treasurer before that date are
by way of accommodation. The short
age in the city treasury, Mr.. Scranton
explained, was due, not 50 much to the
want of the liquor revenue, as it was to
the fact that the delinquent taxes are
held up by the dispute as to whether
the treasurer or the delinquent tax col
lector should collect them.
or the moneys collected this year
from liquor licenses, $l64 $3.50 goes to the
city of Scranton; $4,000 to the city of
carbondale; SS7,764.4O to the boroughs

Three Defendants Make Answer,

The Central Valley Railroad COM
pany. the Connell Park and Speedway
Street Railway company and the
Transit Contract company yester-
day filed formal answer to the equity
suit brought by the Rocky Glen
Water company against them and the
Scranton and Northwestern Railroad
company, and Contractors John r.
Lee, John y. Dolan and Joseph Page.
The suit was brought to restrain
the new trolley company from en-
rering upon tract of land at
Moosic which was owned by Annette
Reynolds and which she turned over
to the Rocky Glen Water company,
OF which she and Arthur Frothing-
ham are the principal owners.
The water company dedicated the
tract for reservoir purposes. The
trolley company had already surveyed
a right of way through it. The
water company claims the trolley
company has no right of eminent do
main and at all events such right if
possessed would not extend to this
tract. az the water company had de-
dcated the land for public use as
reservoir and made it free from the
operation of the power of eminent
domain.
The answers of the three COM
panies filed yesterday are for the
most part denials of the averments
of the plaintiff, The Transit Contract
company's answer reciteS in addition
to the formal denials, that before en-
tcring upon the tract in question the
Scranton and Northeastern Railroad
company, for which the Transit Con-
tract company is working, offered
sufficient bond to indemnify the own
ers of the tract for any damages that
might accrue, but the bond was re-
fused and the court has been petit
toned to accept the bond for the COM
pany
The answers We're prepared by At
torneys Read & Petit, of Philadelphia;
James r., Burr and Joseph O'Brien.
of this city, and Henry A. Fuller and
+, NJ. Wheaton. of Wilkes Barre. The
plaintiff company Is represented by
T.. c. Newcomb and willard, Warren
& Knapp.
G. V. Boughton, president of the
Transit Contract company; ~. f..
Penman, president of the Connen
Park and Speedway company, and c.
V. Boushton, secretary of the Central
Valley company, make the afiidavits
in the answers.
