Those who oppose th annexation of
n portion of Lackawanna township to
the city say that the project will re
sult in n general upsstiing of city af
fairs. They nre confident that the
courts will declare unconstitutional th
act of 1S3K. under which tho city is at
present operating.
3 that event our city wonld be in n
clmotic stnt-1, indeed.
It would I"' necessary tn go back to
the act of 1874, under which the city
was govern? I prior to the pnss'igof
the act of 18811, and lead to eompiica
lious and mixing up of alTiirs calcu
lated to inak the person dizzv who
tries to solve the problem of where wo
would he at.
Cctanton has had some unpleasant
experience in the past with legislation
that wns declared invalid.
When the act of 18S9 was passed it
legislated some of the city officials out
of office. That act changed the term
of many city officers and it would re
quire considerable figurine; uow to
ascertain just who are entitled to con
duct city ull'sira in case the theory of
the anti-annsxaUoniiti should prove
correct.
The v declavo that the act is nnco'i
ititntional for many reasons, the
principal one being that it is clung
legislation of the most vicious and vio
lent kind. Such class legislation ns
tho supreme court has repeatedly con
derailed and declared null and void and
to stamp out which the constitution
was amended.
If the co'irts do not think tho act
special legislation thoy will have n
number of alleged fitws in it to deal
with.
cockt WIMttD at ir,
It is maintained that the euprara
court has been called upon several
times to pass upon the act but that in
each ensj the question at issue was dis
posed of ov tr.H learned jiistlcos witn-
! out doaliug with th question of consti
tutionality, the nnti-annexationists say
that the action of tho highest tribunal
of the str.te shows that it is aware that
the act is weak, constitutionally, bnt
it hesitates to tamper with it on ac
count of the trouble and complications
that would result in all the cities of
tho state operating under the act. It
is asserted that the justices do not want
to pass upon the constitutionality of
! thn n-r. iinWft fornod tn do so and
therefore the foes of annexation pro
pose to raise that issue aqnately.
The part of the act that is deetnsd
particularly vulnerable is Motion one,
article, nineteen, which reads as follows i
Section 1 -The term "cities of the third
class" shall include only:
First Ail cities of the proper popula
tion which have been incorporated un
der the provision of an act of assembly en
titled : "An act dividing cities of this state
mto three clas-.es, regulating the passags
of ordinances, providing for contracts for
supplies nud work for said cities, authoriz
ing the increase nf indebtedness and the
creation of a kinking fund to redeem the
lame, defiuiug and punishing csrtuiu of-leii-es
in all of said cities, and providing
i for the incorporation and government of
tho cities of third class, approved tun
twenty-third day of May, oue thousand
eight hundred and seventy-four, or which
may hereafter, lie incorporated under the
provisions of this act:
Second -All cities of the proper popula
tion which have accepted the provisions
of the said act of the twenty-third day of
i May, one thousand eight hundred and
sevonty-foiir, m the manner prescribed in
the fifty -seventh section thereof.
Third All other cities of the proper
population only from and after their uc
icp'ance of tna provisions of the said act
of the twenty third day of May, one thous
and eight hundred aud seveutv-four, in
the manner prescribed iu the fifth 1 fifty
ieveiith section thereof.
WHEKE IT IS WCAK.
The fight to prevent annexation will
he carried on by Attorney 1. II lSurns
and Senator M. E McDonald. The lat
ttr was h member of the hoots af rep
resentatives when the act of 1SSU was
paesed. uud Mr. Burns was solicitor
for the city all that time.
It is maintained that the portion of
the net above quoted was an amend
ment offered ac the eleventh hour of
the ssesion for the purpose of securing
the pnssage of the bill
It was the uight before ths final ad
journment of the legislature and the
rill WSJ in th hand of ths conference
committee of the houss and senate.
R-presentatives from Wilkes-LUrrn and
Allegheny were opposed to the bill and
threatened to defeat it on fiiinl pas
sage. They did not want the act to
apply to their citios which nre in the
third class, but were satisfied to let
the bill go through if in some way the
hill could be so amended aa not to in
clude their cities. Then it was, th.)
atiti-annexationists say, that u genius
came forward and offered un amend
ment in tho shape of tho section above
quoted, which loft out Allegheny,
Wilkes Barre and Lancaster, because
they had neither accepted the provi
sions of the act of 197-1. or besu incor
porated uuder it. Tnis amendment,
they say, was accepted as the best way
out of tne dilemma.
The excluding .of these cities, it is
held, makes the act class legislation iu
the broadest sense of the word.
SAY TITLE IS DEFECTIVE.
Tht title of the act is "au act provid
ing for tho incorporation and govern
ment of tyties of the third class." This
title, it is said, presupposes the fact
that all cities of the third class are
leg-Mat' d for. but the body of the bill
contradicts the title by legislating for
only n portion of the third class cities.
The title is also defective, it is urged,
in that it says nothing whatever about
annexation. Futherinore, annexation,
such as is proposed by the net, is held
to bo class legislation. Annexation
legislation, say the nutis, should apply
to all citie of the state nud any legis
lation that provides for particular tin
nexation proceeding for particular
classes of cities ruus counter to the
constitution and therefore must fall.
Further objection will be made to
tho changing of township and school
district lines by what is termed special
legislation.
These points will be argued before
the three judges in court on Saturday
morning uud un early opinion I ex
pected. It matters not which way the
court decides it is nrobahle that an ap
peal will be carried to the supremi
court before which tribunal th matter
will be nrgned during the Inst week of
February, which will be Lackawauua
county week at the supreme court.
Annexation is opposed on several
other grounds, but those outlined
above are the ones that are raised to
challenge the constitutionality of tin
act and therefore the ones that the peo
pie of Scranton are vitally interested in.
The act of 1389, "providing for the
incorporation aud government of cities
of the third class," wns the outcome of
efforts to reduce prior legislation, both
general aud local, to n uniform and
compreheuiiva code adapted to the
governmental requirements of the
several municipalities to which It was
intended to apply, it was drafted by
n committee of what was known as the
intsrniunicipal convention, composed
of representatives of nil tne cities of
the slate except Philadelphia and
Pittsburg and was intended to take tho
place of the act of 1887 which had breu
declared invalid and thereby caused
many unpleasant complications.
The basis of the act of 1889 is the act
of May "3, 1874. After the act of 1889
had been drafted it was examined nud
discussed in all the cities that it af
fected. In the house and senate many amend
ments were made to the bill, among
them being the section abov.) quoted,
which limited the application of the
act to cities incorporate 1 uuder the act
of 171, or that of 1889, and those which
had heretofore, or should thereafter nr
cept tho provisions of the act of 1871
It was confidently believed that this
amendment was in hutmotiy with de
cisions of the supreme court.
The amendment was proposed to sat
isfy Wilkes-Uarre and other cities oper
ating Under Special charters granted by
the legislature htforo the adoption of
the new constitution.

Grief of Mrs. Nellie Viedever Upon
Being Separated from Her
Two Little Children.
TRUE BILL IN THE MURDER CASE
CHURCH DEBT CANCELLED.
ths
Tliove was a touching scene in court
yesterday morning when tne aid of the
law was callsd in to separate a mother
from her children. There wus weeping j
sud lumentatioii on the part of the
mother nod one of the children, but
thev were unavailing.
Mr. and Mrs Frank Bnnmll formerly
lived in this city, but in 1881) they went
to California. There the conduct of
Mrs. Bunnell was such that her bus
bund refused to appiovs of it, end In
1889 she deserted him and he feared a
divorce. He has siucj married, s is
his divorced wife, who is now Mrs.
Nelli'.1 Viedever. While the divorce pro
ceedings were pending it is alleged that
Mrs. Bunnell stole her two children
Etna L , aged 9, and Alvird. aged 5,
from the custody of her husband, left
San Francisco and some time later
came to this city, having in the mean
time married Mr. Viedever. with whom
she was acquainted in San Francisco.
He is now in Kentucky and Mrs. Vie
dever has only awaited the disposition
of the habeas corpus proceedings that
Mr. Bunnell began to recover possess
iou of the children to join him in the
blue grass region.
Mr. Bunnell came from Sin Fran
cisco to regain possession of the cliild
r -u aud was able to show such good
reason why he should have charge of
them that the court gave them into his
custody.
Mrs. Niedever denied having stolen
the children. She claims that they
were given over to her while the divorce
proceedings were pending in oonsidera
tioa of her having signed a paper
agreeing not to ask alimony, She ad
mitted having taken tho children when
her husband was not present.
When the decision of tho court was
announced she wept violently, her lit
tle son also giving free vent to his
grief at being separated from his
moth-r. The little girl did not mani
fest much feeling.
The children will go back to Sin
Francisco with the father. Mrs. Vie.

to visit the children at reasonable in

CONSTABLES MAKE RETURNS.
The constables of the county made
their reports to court yesterday and
there were the usual stories ot c. ireful
research nfter violators of the liquor
law and failures to find them.

house on Main street.

Dolphin for selling liquor on Sunday.

tiio Main street is i i bad condition on
account of the oper ilious of the Trac
tion company. Ho was referred to the
district attorney for assistance in pre
paring a special return covering all
tho facts in the case.
When Captain H. H Whito. the
constable of Qlenborn borough, was
interrogated, he was asked if the hotel

"I guess he does,'' answered the cap
tain, "for n man can't get drink there

dny making inquiries in regard to the
death of his brothxr. Joha Squier, who
was killd near the Wyoming avenne
crossing of the Delaware aud Hudson
on Thursday night last.
Mr. Squier thinks it very peculiar
that his brother was reported ns being
in a state of intoxication. His brother
was nut a drinking man. He was seeu
ns late as 9 o'clock ou the night of his
death by a Mr. CJthner, who was with
with him, and at that time he had not
been drinking. The bottle of gin
which he had when killed was par
chased for family use. Mr. Battier
told a TRIBUNE reporter tint his
brother was a very upright man with
pronounced views on the religious aud
temperance questions.
At the inquest tomorrow night they
will Irv and bring forth evidence that
will be a surprise.
