TEE DUQUESNE CAN PUSH AHEAD xMni ibnttmg Property Owners Cannot .. Tnrow Obstacles in Its Way. POLES AKD WIRES ARE KOTKUISANCES The decision rendered by Judge Stowe on Saturday, in favor of the Duquesne Traction Company, in the suit for an. injunction brought against that company by Negley avenue property owners, is iull of interest. It states the law as to the rights of abutters andthe rights of the publio with such full ness that we give it below in full. Only a brief synopsis of it has yet been published. This is supposed to end all attempts at ob structing the Duquesne, which is now making rapid progress, and will be running cars earlr next fall. Lockbart et al vs The Craig Street Railway Company and the Duquesne Traction Com pany. Plaintiff's bill avers In so tar as is material to this application: That the plaintiffs are sever ally property owners of land abutting upon Negley avenne In the city of Pittsburg. That saia avenue is an improved street of said city, paved only within the last year with a smooth asphalt pavement, paid for by plaintiffs and other abutting property owners at a cost of aome 152,000. and that the same was paved with the Said asphalt pavement with a view and for the purpose of diminishing the noises and annoyances arising from travel on the same, and to increase the value of their lands on said street as places of residence, and the result has been to greatly increase the value of said lands. That the Craic Street Railway Company claims to have the right to enter npon and con struct a street railway along and upon said Negley avenue from the intersection thereof with Ronn street to the intersection thereof with Bryant street, and thence returning with a double track on N egley avenue to said inter section with Roup street. That said Craig Street Railway Company threatens and proposes to at once enter npon Negley avenue to construct, maintain and operate a street railway with two tracks, etc and to run thereon cars PROPELLED BY ELECTRICITY as a motive power, and for that purpose to tear up and destroy said pavement and to replace the same with an inferior block pavement, and to erect along the lines of said street in the properties of plaintiffs a line of poles on each side of said street, and to suspend wires from said poles across the carriage way of said street, and upon snch poles to suspend a wire over each of the tracks running lengthwise of said street. That snch poles will be erected in snch prop erties as defendants may elect at or about the curb lines of said street at the height of abont IS feet and about 75 feet apart, and the tracks to be laid will be about seven feet from the cnrb line, and that said poles and tracks will be a continual trespass npon said properties and a serious obstruction to the passage of said street; that it will deprivesaid plaintiffs of easy and convenient access to the street from their properties and prevent the use of their re spective properties under the improvement of said street, etc, etc That the rnnnlnc of cars along said track bv the use of electricitv will deprive plaintiffs of the qniet which thev have heretofore enjoyed, and which makes their properties especially valuable lor purposes of residences and will greatly damage and depreciate the value of the same. PLAINTIFFS ALSO AVER that the Duquesne Traction Company has made or is abont to make an agreement and lease of some kind for the constrnction and operation of said passenger railway, and that Councils pretended to give by ordinance the right to enter upon said Negley avenue and make and construct thereon such motors. -ea.hisvictriel and otber appliances, neces sary and convenient mechanical nxtures, as said company may at any time select, and also to lease the property, richt and franchises of said Crate Street Railway Cnmpanv and to construct and operate the railway ot said com pany. Plaintiffs also aver that a certain other cor- B oration, named the Negley Avenue Passenger treet Railway Company, has been incorpor ated to lay a street railway along Negley ave nue between the streets aforesaid, and that Its charter existed before and at the date of the incorporation of said defendant. It is also averred that the act under which the Cralp Street Railwav Comnanv Is incorno- rated forbids the constrnction of any railway incorporated thereunder within the limns of any citv, etc, without the consent of the local authorities thereof, and that the City 01 Pittsourg nas no auworiry to assent to or authorize any person or corporation to enter upon, nse or ocenpv said street except such consent or authority be expressed by general ordinances, and that the said defendants do cot possess tho authority of the city expressed by general ordinance. Also, that the act of Mavll 1SS9. under which the Craig Street Railway Company is incorpo rated, is unconstitutional, in that it does not provide a method or remedy whereby plaintiffs may compel defendants to secure compensa tion to tnem in advance; and also, that the act of 22d of March. 1SS7. under which the Dti- 3uesne Traction Company is incorporated, oes not empower it to take property of plain- iin to us nse, or u it aoes, tnen tnat it is un constitutional. And final v that neither of said defendants have any right or power by virtue of their charters to construct and maintain a street railway over Negley avenue in the manner inreatenea Dy tnem. THE QUESTIONS RAISED by the bill, answer and affidavits are allmergcd In one inquiry, to wit: Have defendants, or cither of tbem shown the legal right to con struct, operate and maintain a railway on Negley avenue as proposed by them? This involves the proper interpretation of defendants' charters, the constitutionality of the acts under which they were granted, and the validity of the ordinances of the city of Pittsburg granting tbem the right to build and operate the road in question. It cannot be doubted At this day that the Legislature of Pennsylvania has the power to authorize the incorporation of companies with power to build anil operate railways with horses over the streets of cities, with the authority and consent of the authorities of said cities as provided by section 9, of article 17 of the con stltutlon. And it is too late to eav that snch use and oc cupation of the streets impose such an addi tional ouraen or servitude thereon as renders It necessary to provide for compensation there for to the owners of abutting property. Nor can it be successfully urged that the proper municipal authorities may not, at their discre tion, repair, improve and change the pave ments put down by the city wbenei er it mav be done w itbout any additional cot or expense to the city or property owner, so far at least as it may be of a nsual and ordinary character. The power over the streets vested in the city au thorities seems to be absolute so long as its ex ercise is not! inconsistent with their ordinary use and does not take, injure or destroy the property of adjoining owners. BIGXT8 OP THE CITY. Therefore 1 Uo not think that the fact that the plaintiffs secured the paving of a street from the city or which they paid in the ordl nary way by assessment, took away any right the city had to repair or change the pavement or grade of the street, or to exercise over it the same power it has over any other street or alley Jn the city. There can be no doubt that under a proper charter the city had a right to allow the streets to be so used for a street railway, with horses as a motive power. So far as the street nse proper is concerned there is no sub stantial flifferrnce between the tracks of such a. street railway and one operated by electricity. We may then assume that the occupation of the street with track, intermediate paving and the appliances in ordmarynse for railways 'operated by horses, there I. nothing of which plaintiffs can legally complain. Whatever dust, noise and annoyances is incident they most submit to. But there is a material and substantial differ ence between such a road ana the one contem P.'.t'd.i.y aernla:its as regards its relation to plaintiff's property. 'The proposed road not onlyoccnpiei the mid dle portion of the street or cartway butwilL as a necessary part of its machinery, have iron posts some 18 feet high permanently fixed three or four feet In the ground along or near the curb of the pavement or sidewalk, upon which will be placed permanent lines of wire crossing the street, and upon which will aiso be placed a permanent wire over each track swunr longitudinally with the street. Do theso Cindy or altogether amonnt m .h a taking of plaintiff's property as is prohibited by the Constitution without compensation? 'The placing the wires over the street does 1 uvtyyyn re ve ft wytmg oi PUUfff prop XBSJEt. 1 - Jt j erty. The streets are dedicated to public use and he has certain special rights as an abutt ing owner, but I cannot see how a wire run through the air above the street can be said to be taking or injuring or destroying his prop erty. But ANOTHER QUESTION ARISES in reference to the posts placed In the ground for the support of the wires by means of which the cars are moved, it has generally been un derstood In Pennsylvania that the abutting owner had a fee to the middle of the adjoining street; and that the public only has a right of passage or easement over it. Chambers versus Furry, I Yeates 16. Lewis versus Jones, 1st Pa. St,, S36. But this must not be taken in its literal sense, especially in towns and cities. What might be considered an invasion ot private right, so far as the use of a highway is concerned, might not be so in a city. Thus a city, by virtue of its general authority, may build sewers, and the adjoining proprietor is not entitled to have damages assessed. as- for a new ue or servitude, Fisher versus Harris burg 2d Grant 291; Cone versus Hartford, 2S Conn. 363; Traphagen versus Jersey City, 2 N. J. Eq. 206: Michener versos. Philadelphia, 118 Pa. bt.. 635. In such case the street is not only ued without compensation to the adjoin ing owner, but he is compelled to pay for the use of the sewer. So the right to lay down gas pipes In the streets as given bv the Legislature to municipal authorities, without allowing com pensation, has been recognized by the courts, and while it has not been expressly ruled in Pennsylvania that I know of. Justice Sterrett. in Sterling's appeal, while deciding that a gas line was an additional burden which en titled the owner to damages in the country, said: "As to the streets and alleys in cities and boroughs there are reasons why a different rule to some extent should prevail." Such has been taken as the law in cities by common consent I do not think that anyone ever beard of a suit in Pennsjlvania to recover damages for mjurv done merely by running a gas pipe along the street in front of his premises under municipal authority. So with water pipes, awning posts, fire plugs and lamp posts. These all more or less infringe npon the alleged absolnte right of an owner of the soil, and are not necessary to accommodate public travel nor even consistent with the public right to an unobstructed passage way. And it may be now taken as settled that the owner's rights of abutting propertv are subject to the paramount rights of the public and the rights of the public are not limited to a mere right of way. but ex tend to all beneficial legitimate street uses as the public may from time to time require. UNDER MUNICIPAL CONTROL. .The nse of the streets for sewers, tunneling, puDlic cisterns, gas pipes, water pipes and other improvements necessary for the comfort and convenience of the citizens of cities and towns so long as ihey do. not substantially Interfere with the use of the streets as such, appear to b under legislative and municipal control. Dillon on Municipal Corporations, section 699. The case of Taggart versus The Newport Street Railway, decided this year by the Su preme Court of Rhode Island, is directly in point, and if good law, covers tho case in band. My own impression is that the use of poles, wires, and the other necessary appliances such as proposed being used by plaintiffs, is not in any respect a greater interference with the ownership of the adjoining property owners on a street than the use of streets for fire plugs, horse troughs and lamp-posts, which have long and generally been recognized as within the power and control of the city government. Recognizing the right of the Legislature and city authorities to authorize the building of street railwavs upon streets of a city without compensation to property owners because it is a means of public transportation and accom modation, the necessary and proper apparatus for moving tbem must be allowed to follow as an incident, unless there is something illegal in its constrnction or use. The proposed con struction here is no more illegal by reason of its effect npon the owners of property so far as actnal interference with their rights to use the streets is concerned than so many lamp-posts, and if compensation could not be compelled for the ground taken by them, neither should it be for the posts supporting the wires in this case. Thus far I have assumed that the charters of defendants gave the right to defendants to ex ercise the powers to construct, maintain and operate a street railway on K egley avenue. But plaintiff's counsel lay great stress npon the point that under the acts of Assembly cited defendants have no right to build or operate a road, because no power is conferred thereby to do so. His argument is that no such power is expressly given by the act of 1ES9, and cannot be implied. But with this I am UNABLE TO CONCUR. I The act Uth May, 18S9, is entitled an act for .. ..... .....4 ...n nn, a. nf 0. a . tue jiicurpurafciuu atitu guiciuwbu w o..w. railways in this Commonwealth, and provides ''that any number of persons not less than five may form a company for the purpose of 'rcon structing, maintaining and operating a street railway on any street or highway upon which no track is laid or authorized to be laid, etc, with the privilege of occupying so much of the street used or authorized to be used by any existing charter, as Is hereinafter provided, for public use in the conveyance of passengers by any other power than by locomotives." This leaving ont restricted matter ot location would read: "A company may be formed for the purpose of constructing, etc, a street rail road for public use in the conveyance of pas sengers by any other power than by locomo tive." The method of forming such company is there provided, and when incorporated it was to have the power aud privilege of succession; to sue and be sued; make and use a seal and hold real and personal estate. Section 15 provides no street passenger railway shall be incorpo rated under this act within the limits of a city without consent ot the local authorities, etc Section 16 requires the constrnction. etc, to be commenced within one year after the consent of the proper local authorities, etc It is true that the act does not say the cor poration shall have the right to build, main tain and operate a railroad, but it does say a company may be formed under the provisions of the act for that purpose, and to suppose the Legislature authorized a company to do formed for a specific purpose and then say when formed it had no power to carry out the purposes ot its creation, because they did not declare in so many words that they should have the power to do, the very purpose for which it was cre ated, is a refinement of interpretation I do not think warranted by either reason or authority. DEFENDANTS RIGHT TO PROCEED. To my mind the power in the Craig Street Railway Company to construct and maintain a railroad on compliance with the terms of the act under whicb it is Incorporated is clear, and that the defendants have shown a legal right to proceed and construct the railway contem plated by them unless the failure to provide means by which the plaintiff may have such damages as they may sustain assessed and paid or secured in advance renders the act uncon stitutional. Upon this question I am not tree from doubt, but the decided Inclinations of my mind is that the act is not unconstitutional for that reason, because the use or the streets for the purpose of applying motive power in the manner proposed is not such a new use as m cities should be treated as outside the proper purpose for which streets will be held to have been originally dedicated to the public use. laggart versus Newport Railway Companv before cited is exactly in point. The case presented by plaintiffs is certainly not so clear from doubt that a Chancellor shonld grant any injunction summarily stopping a great public improve ment before final hearing, more particularly because If the position taken by plaintiffs is correct and defendants have 410 legal right to take possession of the street as they are abont to do, a common law action will compel them to pay all damages arising to plaintiffs, and thereafter equity would probably afford a com plete remedy by which the wrong done them could be fully corrected. Injunction prayed for is now refused. BY THE COURT. Health, Habit and Manners of Boys.

The Excursion Beats Do a Bushing Business All Bar Long. THIS TEAR'S JDHE ABOVE THE RECORD Old Sol wooed the earth' yesterday with ardent glances, and the heat of his affection was distressing to the 350,000 human beings who reside in the twin cities at the bead waters of the Ohio. Even the Signal Service thermometer, on the roof of the Schmidt & Friday building, succumbed at 4 p. if., and throwing up both hands, regis tered 90 in the shade. On the shady side of the street below the thermometers regis tered 97 and In the sun the heat was simply unbearable. "When the average citizen arose yesterday his first impulse was to utter harsh remarks abont the weather. This he would keep up until he became limp and ex hausted, and then he would try to think up some scheme for keeping cool. One very popular scheme with persons who possessed a good, dry cellar was to seek shelter in it, and while away the time reading, smoking and drinking lemonade, and, in extreme cases, beer. OFF TO THE COUNTRY. Early in the day thousands started for the country, and all the trains were well filled. Some carried lunch baskets, with evident intention of spending the day in the woods, while others were going to take pot-luck with their country cousins. The wharves were all bustle and activity, from early morning until the shades of evening fell. It looked as if the old boating days had returned, except that bnt little freight was being handled. Every boat that went out was loaded to the guards by warm and perspiring humanity. The excursion boats, especially, did a big business. Every trip they made was a bonanza to the owners. But it was in the parks that the crowds were to be found. Thousands' of persons paid their initial visit to Schenley Park, and others who had been there before went again. The cool and 'grassy glades we-e dotted by men, women and children, who idly strolled along or reolined in groups under the umbrageous shade of a stalwart survivor or the perennial forests. IN THE COOL OF THE EVENING. As the sun went down and the temper ature began to follow its example, nearly everyone in the two cities left the shelter of their homes and turned their steps toward the parks. Mary joined the throngs in Schenley Park, hundreds went to Highland Park, where they couid get the cool breezes from the Allegheny river, while the Alle gheny Parks were simply one mass of humanity, the bright dresses and fair faces of the ladies forming a kaleidoscope of beauty. The gentleman who assists in outlining our local weather says to-day will be about as hot as yesterday, but after that we may get some relief. The hottest day of the month was the 2ith, 92. The mean tem perature for 29 days of June was 73.2, or 2.4 above the average for 18 years. The highest mean temperature for June in that number of vears was 74 In 1876, and the lowest 66 in 1878. The highest tempera ture reached in June waB 97, in 1880 aud 1882. The rainfall this month has been 3.34 inches, which is .just about the average. UNCLE TOM'S CABIN WRECKED. Tho Members of the Combination StrUnded Miles Array From Home. Wilfred Ijoomis, a stranded member of a defunct "Uncle Tom's Cabin" combination, left his baggage at the Central station last night until he could raise enough money to take him to Quincy, 111., where he has been oflered a position in a printing office. He belongs to the Knights of Pythias, and mem bers of that order will secure him transpor tation to-day. Loo mis left Harrisburg with the combina tion about a month ago as a member of the orchestra. The company traveled by road, aud met with had luck, until they finally broke up about 40 miles from home. The only members of the party who had enough money to ride back to Harris burg were Marls, the Lawyer, and his wife. The rest of them had to walk. Uncle Tom forcot his affection lor. .Eta, and broke across country with Legree, while Eliza hypothecated the bloodhounds for a pair of shoes, ber own having been worn out by constantly crossing a canvas river on blocks of pasteboard ice, and with St. Clair and Aunt Penelope, walked to Shippensburg, where they raised railroad feres by giving a concert. The other members of the combi nation have not yet been heard from. A BETTER SHOW PROMISED. What Manager Johnston Says of the Coming; Exposition. Manager Johnston, of the Exposition Society, went to New York lasrevening. He stated that they had several schemes on hand to make the exhibition attractive, but they were keeping them dark for the pres ent. One thing he claimed and that was that the show this year will discount the Exposition of last season. The industrial display will be on a more extensive scale, and Mr. Johnston regretted they didn't have the space to give all the manufacturers a show.

Crossings In Wilklnsburg; Where Serlonn Accidents nre Feared Not SnfUcIent Means ofVnrnincorn Train's Approach Three Gates Asked For. The Wood street railroad crossing in Wilklnsburg has long been the subject of criticism by the people of the borough. The Pennsylvania railroad runs diagonally through WilKinsburg, and the particular crossing at Wood street, in the business and residence part of the place, is regarded as dangerons in the extreme. There is a nar row board walk at the junction of Wood and Bebecca streets, and the railroad passes so close lo it that there is very little room for pedestrians between the track and the ience, especially when there happens to be a crowd at that spot when y& train passes. There is a watchman there who is certainly a very careful, trustworthy man, but he is not so good as safety gates would be. On Satur day evening the Wilklnsburg accommoda tion for the city backed down eastward on tbe west-bound track, so as to make the switch. There was no warning bell to ad vise people who might be in danger, bnt the brakeman stood on the platform of tbe rear car and whistled. A lady and three child ren were on-the narrow strip of boardwalk at the crossing, and had they not been warned by other people who saw the train backing down, would almost certainly have been struck, and perhaps killed. A gentleman who saw the narrow escape said to a Dispatch reporter: "That is by no means an unusual occurrence. I do not know how many escapes just as narrow as that one that I have seen here. You see, the train comes tearing across the tracks and sweeps by, almost touching the plat form before you know it is near you. Especially is this true at night. There is no headlight, no bell; nothing but the black mass, with blinking green lights, coming swiftly and silently across the tracks to cut down anything that may be in its way. I do not know of any fatalities that have happened from this cause lately, but it is a wonder. The borough should in sist upon safetv gates being placed at Wood, Bebecca and South streets, as well at Penn avenue. There have been a number of deaths at that point that might have been avoided by the use of gates. Grade cross ings are pernicious things, anyhow, but cer tainly thev should be guarded by gates in such "a busy place as Wilkinsbufg has be come." A E0MAN CHARIOT BACE Suggested ns One of the Spectncles for the Independence Oar Demonstration. The latest suggestion for the Fourth of July celebration is a Boman chariot race. There is a good half-mile track in Schenley Park, and Chief Bigelow has volunteered to furnish the horses if some good citizen will loan the chariots. It is thought that half a dozen patriotic citizens clad in togas and perspiration urg ing their panting steeds through clouds of dust and forcible adjectives would form an invigorating spectacle.
