EIGHTS OFEAILWAYS
Operated by Electricity to Occupy
Gity Streets Legally Decided.
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

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.

Up to 97 Degrees in the Shade,
DRIVING PEOPLE TO THE PARKS.

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.

SAFETY GATES WANTED.
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.
