ELECTRIC ROAD IS BENEFICIAL
Whon Pctor Signed tho Petition to Bring
Suit Agninst tho Trolley Company
llo XVaa Not Awaro of Full
Import of tho Docnmcnt.
The Tribune on last Friday contained
an exclusive account of the legal pro
ceedings contemplated against the
Scranton and Plttston Traction com
pany, or the Lacknwanna and Old
Forge Street Kallwuy company, one and
tho Fame, iby property owners along
Centt-r street, Mlnooka, and the easitern
portion of Greenwood. Center street Is
more commonly called Main street.
Supervisors Connolly and Jones, In
tho year 1S92, gave the right of wuy to
the street car company and the resi
dents had nothing to say In the matter.
The supreme court recently ruled that
where the right of way In boroughs or
townships Is accorded to a street car
company the owners along streets
where tho railway passes can collect
consistent dnmnges for any deprecia
tion in value that may arise from the
construction of these tracks.
Attorneys Watson & Zimmerman,
of this city, framed a petition and sent
it out among the residents along Main
street, Mlnooka, for their signatures.
The petition gave the attorneys permis
sion to collect damages from the street
railway comnpany for pushing Its
tracks through that region without the
consent of the property owners. Tho
attorneys consented to undertake tho
securing of Indemnity from the owners
of the road without any cost to the
property owners. The amount collected
was to have been divided between the
attorneys and the citizens.
Peter Mullen Did Not Refuse
The first onf to whom the petition was
presented was Peter Mullen, of Green
wood, who, by the way, was the con
tractor who laid the street car tracks
from the city line, through Mlnooka and
Greenwood. Peter attached his auto
graph to the top of the petition. The
paper went the rounds amonj? the prop
erty owners and was signed In every
house without a murmur. Visions of
great wealth loomed up before many.
But a day or two after Mr. Mullen
signed the petition he got sorry and
went to Justice of the Peace P. F.
O'Hara, who had the document In his
Inside pocket, and requested him to
erase his signature from the petition.
The justice laughed at Peter, and this
levity only provoked him and he went
to Watson & Zimmerman and ordered
them to take his name off the petition.
He claims that they promised him they
would do so but neglected to fulfill that
promise, and are still circulating the
petition with his name on it and are
receiving signatures from citizens who
are influenced by the fact that his name
is at the head of tho list.
Peter saw his attorney, M. K. McDon
ald, and decided to apply for an Injunc
tion In court restraining Watson & Zim
merman from using his name on the
petition. He declares that his signature
was procured through "fraud, trick and
artifice."
Mr. Mullen Says Ho Docs Not Know.
Attorney McDonald instituted an
equity suit In court Saturday at the In
stance of Mr. 'Mullen and a bill was
served on Attorneys Watson & Zimmer
man. Court granted a rule on the de
fendants that they must enter appear
ance and file an answer within ten
days.
In his bill of complaint 'Mr. Mullen al
leges that he was not aware at the time
he signed the petition of exactly what
it contained. He prays the honorable
court to restrain the defendants from
using his name, as he believes that the
street car tracks enhanced rather than
depreciated the value of hla property.
CURIOUS INSCRIPTION.
John Staples of Rtrotidsbtirg Had 852
Grandchildren When Ho Died.
The following curious Inscription ap
pears on a tombstone In the Strouda
burg, Pa., cemetery:
"In memory of John Staples, a revo
lutionary soldier, who was born in Lon
don, May 18, 1754; died, Feb. 2, 1843. Ha
was married to Margaret Teeple 1779,
had 14 children, Iii3 grandchildren, also
E5 grandchildren married, and 195 great
grandchildren, and two in the fifth
generation.
"He fought for the liberty of hla
country, and for forty-four years was a
follower of tho meek and lowly Savior.
He died In the full triumphs of faith,
and went home to rest."
Still farther down, near fhe base of
the tombstone, appear thrse words;
"Remember me as you pass by.
For as you are now, so once was I,
And as I am now, so you must be
Prepare for death and follow me,'
COSSACKS OF CAUCASUS.
They Will Bo a Feature of liuf falo lllll'a
Wild West Show.
Tt la almost futile to attempt to enu
merate all the interesting features of
the great Wild West show, which is
shortly to be fleen here. Of course) the
most prominent individual la Colonel
William F. Cody, or "Buffalo Bill," as
he Is even better known, a picturesque
figure in contemporaneous hlsitory that
will never see his prototype. Scenes
and Incidents of every variety of wild
west life will be produced with posi
tive fidelity to nature, and many of the
tirrlng events of frontier life of half
a century ago will be re-enacted.
In addition to tho Wild West repre
sentations the Congress of Rough Rid
ers of the Wlrld will attract almost
equal interest. In this Congress will
appear Vaqueroa from Mexico, Gauchoa
from South America, Arabs from the
African desert, and Cossacks from tho
steppes of Russia. These Jatter, hardy
and dexterous horsemen, may be con
sidered as on tho border line between
the wild Irregulars and tho trained and
drilled military; for though they wear
the well-known uniform, and are regu
larly enlisted soldiers among the Cos
sacks of the Caucasian line, they ride
with a wild, fierce daah and Individual
ity not characteristic of any of tho
other bodies of cavalrymen. This does
not mean that they are not well drilled
In their tactics and capable of going
through their evolutions admirably;
but they have a certain sort of sprlted
freedom and capacity for independent
personal demonstration which only
perhaps the French and Americana
might, if encouraged thereto, display.
They wear handsome hut sombre uni
forms, ride "the, lithe, small horses of
the steppes, and are mounted on small
troop saddles, very high front and rear,
which are built up with pads fully four
Inches thick, so that they seem to perch
far above their horses.
Another variety of horsemen' which
form an auxiliary to the other attrac
tions of the Wild West are the repre
sentative cavalrymen of several of the
great military nations, including the
dashing French cavalrymen, handsome
Royal IrlahLancera of England, ponder
ous German Cuirassiers, and Cavalry
men of thlscountry. The entire entertain
ment la unique and remarkable in every
respect. It has been enlarged and im
proved since Its successful season ill
New York last year and Is now under
the Joint managomont of the old part
ners, Buffalo Bill and Nate Palsbury,
and Jamca A. Bailey, of Barnum's
show. It will be seen here on Satur
day, May 11,
HAVE FILED AX AKSWEB.
Traction Company Sets Forth Its Right to
l.ny Two Trucks on Franklin Avenue.
That tho Sornnton Traction company
Is preparing to lay a double track on
Franklin avenue, in the Mock between
Lnckawanna avenue and Spruce Btreet,
Is shown by the step taken in court
Saturday by Attorneys Jissup & Hand,
counsel for tho company. They filed
an answer to the bill of complaint made
by the property owners. It was on this
bill of complaint that Judge Gunster
granted the injunction restraining the
company from doublo tracking the
avenue. Tho owners complained that
It would depreciate the value of prop
erty, and seriously interfere with the
business of the wholesale merchants in
loading and unloading their wagons. It
was not on that aecouut, however, that
court sustained the property owners,
but because tho Traction company
could not show authority to warrant It
in availing itself of this privilege.
Judge Gunster ruled in his opinion
that the company did not have the con
sent by ordinance of the city councils,
and on that ground tho injunction was
granted. After tho caso thus ended,
the company applied to council for the
privilege of laying another track, and
that permission was granted in an or
dinance, that, having passed both
branches, received on April 1, 1S95, the
signature of Mayor W. L. Connell.
Permission to Lay a Second Track.
That ordinance allowed by Its pro
visions the Scranton Traction company
to shift to one side the present track of
the Scranton Suburban Street Rallwny
company in order to lay another track.
That was virtually the same as a per
mission to double track the avenue. In
the answer filed on Saturday the ordin
ance Is made a part. The company
denies that the plaintiffs, or any of
them, are owners of renl estate abutting
on both sides of Franklin avenue In the
block where the double truck is In
tended to be laid.
The answer explains that tho new
track is to bo laid undur authority
granted In Its charter to the Scranton
and Providence Street Railway com
pany, under the act of March 20, 1SCG.
This company has 'been merged Into
tho People's Street Railway company,
of Luzerne county, and tho consolidated
corporation has leased its interests to
the Soranton Traction company. The
act of assembly and! the leases are made
a part of the answer.
Property Owners Will Continuo Fight.
The property owners will maintain
that tho company has no right to lay
more than one track, and will claim
that the People's Street Railway have
forfeited the benefit of the act of 18C6,
under the act of J.SS7.
Tho matter will come up for a flnul
hearing in equity court.
COURT HOUSE NEWS NOTES.

of Attorney W. H. Stanton, Judge

able at next argument court.

Sermon by Father Winters.
Father Winters spoke on the Scrip
tural text, "Come to mo all ye who are
burdened, and I will refresh you." His
sermon was beautifully descriptive of
the saving efficacy of tho blessed sacra
ment to heal the wounds and sores left
by mortal sin on man's soul. Our
blessed Saviour came down from his
throne of happiness and glory and as
sumed tho Incarnation of man, so that
he could suffer and bleed on tho cross
for tho redemption of sinners.
At the paschal feast before delivering
his body up to the sacrlllglous execu
tioners the Saviour instituted the sacra
ment of tho Eucharist. Having came
down from heaven to die on the cross
thattheScrlpturesmlght be fulnlled.the
son of God still showed his love for
mankind by leaving his body and blood
under the appearance of bread and
wine. It is the same God, the same Di
vine Presence that suffered and died
on the cross, that is still with us In the
tabernacle of the altar.
No Happiness Without Sacrament.
Without recourse to this holy sacra
ment no human being can be happy.
The reverend speaker referred to the
present opportunity as one in which
tho men and women of the cathedral
parish should avail themselves of the
spiritual benefits to be derived from the
forty hours.
If wo but seek him he will relieve us
of our spiritual burdens and our yoke
in this valley of trial and tribulation
will indeed be light; and when we cross
tho dark river of death our vision will
be rewarded with the presence of the
Eternal God In all His everlasting hap
piness and glory forever and ever.
Amen.
Father Winters pronounced the ben
ediction of the Blessed Sacrament over
one of the densely thronged essom
blage of worshipers ever gathered at
one time In the cathedral.

Few of the reasons why we
are able to sell goods so much
below the usual prices as we
are doing :
1st. We sell for cash.
2(l.Vc sell all our goods in the
store, not by the expensive way
of taking orders from house to
house.
3ll. Handling so many goods wc can
do it at a much smaller percent
age than where only halt the
quantity is sold.
4t!l.We buy from the manufacturer
or importer, not from the jobber,
thereby saving one profit.
tll."Ve have no rent to pay for
house, barn or store, conse
quently can afford to work cheap.
Gth. Doing quite a large wholesale
as well as retail bnsiness wc
can do it at lower rates than a
house doing either branch ex
clusively. 7th.-And principally because we are
naturally inclined to make very
low rates, depending on the judg
ment of the purchasing public
to appreciate good goods and low
prices to move the goods quickly.
