Accident to Sierra.

The new American mail steamer Sierra.
says the Auckland Weekly News of Jan
uary IL, arrived from San Francisco.
after a passage, including stoppages,
OF Il Gays Is hours, the actual steaming
time being 20 days II hours % minutes.
The steamer, which is on her maiden
trip to the Colonies. has not made the
time expected, she having been DELAYED
at the outset of the voyage by heavy
Weather, which continued almost all the
~ from San Francisco to Honolulu.
t ng which the steamer had to be put
Ser reduced rate of speed. The de-
las Honolulu was also much longer
thar vas anticipated. owing to the
steari having a large quantity of frozen
meat. tc., to discharge. Three days aft
er leaving Honolulu the port engine
broke dnwn by the splitting of the low
pressure piston, and as repairs could not
be effected on board, the speed had to
be reduced, and the rest of the voyage
made uader those conditions. Notwith-
standing the delays which have occur
red, and their cause, the Sierra has made
very good time, showing that under ia
yorabie circumstances the distance be-
tween San Francisco and Auckland can
be covered by the new steamers in the
time contracted for; indeed, it is stated
by ii Sc in authority that with the en-
gines good working order the Sierra
will -. le to attain speed of 20 knots

or was ronged with visitors, who took
a keen interest In the various appoint
ments, and who were allowed the full
run of the ship. the officers and crew
being most courteous to all. The Sierra
left for Sydney on Saturday morning,
where the repairs to the broken piston
viii be effected.

Request Of a Veteran.

Editor Of the scranton Tribune
SIR Your editorial Of this date under the head
OF An inpatriotie Board OF Control" was duly
majority Of the board are loyal and patriotic
citizens. We have always found the board of
control willing TO grant any request that we
have made along the lines OF patriotism, and we
would now request the board TO revoke the order
compelling schools TO open on Memorial dsy.
We would prefer that the patriotic exercises ia
all schools should take place on Friday afternoon
preceding Memorial day, as they have in Nos.
% and %, when veteran will be present and
talk TO the children. On Memorial day We would
have every teacher visit some cemetery with her
entire class and enlist the children in the bcauti.
fII service for our soldier dead, thereby teaching
them love and reverence for the flag and loyalty
to our country, that they may he better pre-.
pared TO perpetuate the work when we shall have
passed away
The veterans for themselves DO not crave any
undue praise. They plead for the future of our
but that the rroper education along patriotic
lines, nstiling into the minds Of the youth of
our land higher and purer spirit Of loyalty,
is one Of the safeguards Of our nation 1t en-
mobiles and prepares for the higher duties and
obligations, and The proper exercises OF the
rights and privileges OF American citizenship.
And now. Mr.. Editor, thank YOU and also thank
the board Of control in advance, for we belle, e
that they will cheerfully grant our request. I
am, Very truly yours,

AN APPEAL IS LIKELY.
Case of City of Scranton Against E.
B. Sturges May Be Taken to
Higher Court.

There is a disposition about city hall
to take an appeal from the decision of
the local court in the case of the City
of Scranton against T.. h, Sturges, and
City Solicitor George NJ. Watson says
If councils ask his advice he will coun-
sci an appeal
The case is one in which Mr.. Sturgos
is seeking to establish n contention
that legally he need not pay for the
paving ON North Washington avenue
in front of properties he owns indi-
vidually and others held in common
with others. He claims the paving was
not properly done. and that the clause
in the contract relating to repairs was
wholly ignored by the paving company
and also by councils. when it came to
releasing the Company's bond.
When the case came to trial the de-
fense was made that the statute Of
limitations barred collection; that the
city was obliged to show the certain
fixed amount Mr.. Sturgcs was owing.
and that the contract was invalid be-
cause it sought to charge the prop
critics with a greater burden than the
statute allows, in that 1t calls for paw
ing and keeping the paving in repair,
when the law stipulates that the cost
Of original construction is as much as
can he assessed against abutting prop
erty holders
The city held that the statute Of
limitations did not interpose bar to
collection because some payments Were
made by the defendant within the six
year period.
As to the city's obligation to prove a
fixed and certain amount owing from
Mr.. Sturges, the city held it did not
have to do this; that all that was nee
essary was to show the amount as
sessed. The burden of showing that
the debt was less than the amount as
sessed rested with the defense, the city
contended. Just as in the case of a suit
on a judgment note, where the plain
tiff can rest after presenting the note
and the defense is called to show what
payments, if any, were made.
The city admits that an abutting
property can not be taxed with any
thing more than the cost Of the orig
nal construction, but contends that the
contract is not invalidated by the fact
that repairs were also contracted for,
because it is possible to prove liter
ally what the repairs were worth and
by subtractng this from the whole
amount assessed, the cost of the orig
inal construction can be ascertained.
Attorney g. COmegys, who was as
sociated with the plaintiff as represen-
tatIve Of certain Of the holders of the
paving bonds, is likewise disposed to
carry the case to an appellate court.
The probabilities are that it will be
appealed.
