MULHERIN AXD KBIT COMPLAIN
In tho Order Handed Down Judgo Arch
hnld Snys That They Con Restrain
Company from Laying Kuils in
1 rout of Their Properties.
P. Mulhorln and Wllllah Repp, who
own property In Lackawanna and Old
Forgo townships, yesterday applied to
tno court for an Injunction to restrain
the Lackawanna Street Railway com
pany from laying; a track for an elec
trie road along tho public roads in
these townships. In granting the In
junction Judge Archbald made the fol
lowing order:
"The plaintiffs having given notice of
the Intention of applying for a pre'
llminnry Injunction at this time tho
mutter now comes up upon the bill by
Injunction atlldavits and upon an an
swer filed by the defendants. It seems
from these that the plaintiffs are resl
dents of the borough of Taylor, In the
township of Old Forge, and the owners
of property In the said township, front
ing upon the road on which the defend
ant company claim the right and fran
chise of laying their street railway.
Preliminary Injunction Askod.
"A preliminary Injunction Is asked
upon the ground that the defendants
have not the consent of the said plain
tiffs to lay their railway upon the road
which runs by the plaintiffs' property.
There Is no denial of this by the de-
fondants; all they claim Is that they
have the assent of the proper authori
ties of the township. This, under the
ruling In Pennsylvania railroad vs.
Montgomery county Passenger rail
way, 176, Pa., is not sufficient.
"A street railway located upon the
line of a township road has no right to
Impose this additional servitude upon
the road without the assent oT abutting
owners. In my Judgment, therefore,
tho plaintiffs are entitled to a prelimin
ary injunction, but not -to the extent
prayed for In the bill. I see no ground
for enjoining the defendants from con
structing their railway In the borough
nf Taylor, nor along the township road
in question, other than In front of the
premises of the plaintiffs. It seems to
me that the only complaint the plain
tiffs have is with any Interference of
the road where It virtually belongs to
them, and that they do not stand In the
shoes of the state so as to complain of
an unwarranted exercise of the fran
chise of the company, neither can they
espouse the rights of other parties who
might be upon the same road, nor of
the township through which the road
runs.
Request Complied with.
"I will, therefore, award a prelimin
ary Injunction restraining the defend
ants, their agents and employes from
constructing their railroad upon the
public road In front of the property of
the plaintiffs until they have obtained
the assent of the plaintiffs, but I will
refuse to enjoin them so far as the con
struction of a road In the borough of
Taylor Is concerned. Let a preliminary
Injunction Issue in this form."

ACTS OF A BRUTAL FATHER
Beat His Little Crippled Son with a
Cruteh.
COMPELS HIS CHILDREN TO BEG
They Ilavo no Mother and tho Father
Pilots Them Around the Country
and Requires Them to Furnish
Money for Ills Support.
About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Patrolman Joseph Block, on lower
Lackawanna avenue, was Informed
of a very brutal performance that
was being enaoted near the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western station.
Persons In thait vicinity were highly
chocked ait the manner In which a dlr-ty-lo.iklng
middle-aged man was beat
ing a one-legged 12-year-old boy that
was evidently his son, with the wooden
crutch that assists the unfortunate
child to amble along. There was alBO
another boy present, two years older,
nnd he kept quiet, afraid that the
father might turn on him. The little
cripple's cries were pliteous and heart
rending. Mr. Block took charge of the trio and
brought them to police headquarters.
The fiendish fa'ther scowled at the po
liceman when his brutal work of chas
tisement had been Interrupted, but the
officer was .rownrded with a grate
ful smile from the little chap.
Nn mo Is Peter Fcclcy.
The man's name Is Peter Feeley and
h3 Is 38 years of age. His home Is In
Mahanoy Plane, Schuylkill county,
where the two boys, his sons, were born.
His wife died eleven years ago. The
cripple's name is Patrick, and he Is 12
years old, and the other one's name is
James, 14 years old.
Since the death of their mother the
boys have been piloted through almost
every town In this state. New York
and New Jersey by ithe father. Until
they were able to solicH alms from
pedestrians, he left them In charge of
an uncle at Addison, N. Y., but when
they arrived at thnt age where he could
put them on the streets begging, he
took them away from their uncle and
niarted off on the road. They have
been roughing It for the past six years,
nnd their mode of travel has been on
foot, on coal trains, and stealing their
passage on passenger trains. Two
years ago the younger one was caught
under the wheels of a' coal train that
he attempted 'to board and his right leg
was crushed: amputation had to be
performed at the knee Joint.
Have Many Pet Names.
They are apt children, but ithey pos
sess a knowledge gained from their pre
carlous travel which would have been
far bditer unJearned. They refer to
each other as "The Kid," "The Blokey,"
"His Nobs," etc., eitc. The clothes they
wear are dusty and ragged and they
expressed a strong desire to be taken
from their unnatural parent.
The disabled one said yesterday that
their ptreet earnings average a good
month's riy and they could live like
kin's, but for the insatiable appetite
of their faither for the stuff that un
crowned John L. Sullivan. They
sometimes receive only a few pennies
nnd on such days as yesterday the
"guv'nor" or "the old man," as they
torm their father, treats them very
cruelly. From ithe treatment he re
ceived yesterday the cripple bore black
and blue marks on his body.
Mrs. W. B. Duggan will see that they
are taken away from Feeley and Chief
of Police Simpson will tend to his case.
The chief kindly provided eatables
for them, as they complained of hunger.
Walked from Cnrhnndale.
Their story Is that they rode Into
Cirbondale on a fveight train from
Binghamton yesiterday morning, nnd
walked from Carbondale yesiterday,
taking the entire day to do It. The
father carried the cripple part of the
distance. They elopt in a box car last
night.
