Mayor' Conncll Is - Disposed to Halt
the Traction Company.
FRANKLIN AVENUE TROUBLE
Was Revived Yesterdjiy and tho Com
pany Was ltcfuscd an Injunction
Against tho City-It Will All v
Be Aired in Court
Fir six months there have been se
rious differences between the Scranton
Traction company and Mayor Connell,
In behalf of the city, which seem des
tined to create litigation, and which
Illustrate a disposition on the part of
the company to get much for little and
the mayor's attitude In trying to pre
vent such a condition.
A chapter In the difficulties came to
the surface In court yesterday when ex
Judge Knapp, for the Traction com
pany, asked for a preliminary Injunc
tion to restrain the 'city from luying
a pavement at the Junction of Spruce
street and Franklin avenue. During
the noon hour Judge Gunster made n
personal Inspection of the locality, nnd
on his return to court refused the In
junction, and will file hlB opinion later.
Tho Issue between tho city and tho
company on Franklin avenue is very
complicated, nnd future rights nnd
privileges of the company will probably
be decided by court. Some time ago
the company was successful In obtain
ing councils' consent -to move Its "Su
burban company track to one side of
the street In order to mako room for
extending the track ot the People's
company from Spruce street to Lacka
wanna nvsnue." As this was really a
permission to double-track the avenue,
the property owners opposed the re
quest 1m councils. After the company
secured the passage of the ordinance
the property owners obtained from
court un injunction. 1
Company on tho Alert.
According to the ordinance the com
pany had only until yesterday to lay
Its additional track. That the com
pany Intended putting In a diamond
switch on the corner and hoped to lay
its extra 'track was shown In Its appli
cation for the paving Injunction which
was refused.
Atlet securing permission from coun
cils to lay an extra line of track and
before the property owners secured the
Injunction, 'the company tore up appor
tion of the avenue south of Spruce
street. The thoroughfare Is now in a
bad condition.
The opposition to an extra track In
volves rnore than the wishes of "prop
erty owners on the avenue In ques
tion. It is claimed that had the com
pany been permitted to lay and use
the track It would have established Its
right to lay and maintain a People's
Street railway track on any public
thoroughfare In the city.
The company obtained its charter
under a state act of 18G6 (pamphlet
laws, p. 1199), of which the following Is
an excerpt;
"That A. B. Dunning, D. R. Randall,
George Tracy, A. Bennett and Samuel
Raub, their successors, associates or
assigns, be and are hereby constituted
a body politic and corporate with per
petual succession by the name and title
of the People's Street Railway company
of Luzerne county nnd as Buch shall
have the right to lay out and construct
a railway . with one or more tracks,
with turnouts and sidings from or near
Scranton to Providence, Hyde Park and
Dunmore through any street or roads,
or use or construct any bridges, se
lecting any route between the places
Indicated that they may deem advis
able, and to cross any grade or con
nect with any other railway now con
structed or that may hereafter be con
structed "
Contained Sweeping Privileges.
From the foregoing It will be seen
that there was very little If any re
striction except In one phrase, "select
ing any route between the places in
dicated." The word "route" Is In the
singular, nnd, by those opposed to the
company's appetite to gobble, is
thought to restrict the company to
each route It has occupied In past years.
It, however, the councils' permission to
lay a track In Franklin avenue had not
been thwarted In court. It might have
given the company an established right
to lay its Iron wherever It pleased.
There Is still another Important
feature of the case: It has been sug
gested that the company will fight
the propei ty owners and mayor with
the state charter of 1866 and Its sweep
ing provisions as a basis. In this con
nection It has been suggested that by
seeking in councils ordinances affecting
the People's company that corporation
has forfeited Its state charter and ac
cepted the provisions of the new con
stitution. In such case the company
would be obliged to secure through
councils permission to perform exten
sion work or change any of its tracks.
Meanwhile the court's Injunction on
the Franklin avenue matter still
stands. Until a final decision Is reached
the company will not even be permitted
to unload In the Involved district ma
terial to be used In laying the line of
tracIt' -

HEWITT'S NEW APPLIANCES.
Thoy Wore Iuspcctod by a Number of
Persons Yesterday.
t F. H. Hewitt & Son's desslcatlng es
tablishment, near Taylor, was visited
yesterday afternoon by a committee oof
newspaper representatives, Health
Officer W. E. Allen, A. J. Casey, T. E.
Carr, John F. Roche and E. E. Ever
hart, of this city; Dr. J. W. Houser,
president of the Taylor board of health,
Burgess William P. Griffiths, M. C.
Judge, Walter James and Thomas G.
Thomas, of Taylor.
The visit was made upon the Invita
tion of Mr. Hewitt, as he has expended
$8,000 In the most Improved appliances
that are credited wkth being able to
completely deodurlze the establishment.
It was late In the afternoon when the
machinists at work upon the improve
ments finished their task. The commit
tee did not wait to see the machinery
work, but a thorough Inspection was
made of the plan of the work and It
appears as if the place will cease to be
a nuisance under the new arrangement.
What has heretofore caused the air
of the surrounding towns to be laden
with the exhalations from tho estab
lishment, was the "drying boxes." In
their stead a hermetically sealed cyl
inder has been substituted. The va
pors from It ascend in a pipe which
projects through the roof and down
along the side Into a large vat sunk
In an excavation. Whore the pipe
makes the bend It Is Joined with another
pipe through which a stream of water
Is pumped. The water becomes Im
pregnated with the vapors and that
destroys their effect.- The water la not
allowed to remain for the zeph rs to re
ceive any fragrant freight from, but It
Is Immediately pumped Into an under
ground cesspool and Is absorbed Jn the
soil
The new machinery consists of two
engines, sixty-horse power each, from
tho Erie City Iron works; two air
tight vats, a dryer, and a squeezing
machine. The vats, dryer and squeez
ing machine are from the works of
Theodore Smith & Brother, of Jers?y
City, and have been put In place by
Chris Carroll, of Indianapolis. i Ir.
Carroll said that establishments of this
kind that have been fitted up with the
machinery newly adopted by the Hew
itts, are In operation In several large
cities, notably New York and Brooklyn,
and although in closely populated dis
tricts, the noxious vapors do not give
any annoyance.
Dr. Houser Bald that if the new ap
pliances do what is expected of them
the Taylor board of health will dis
continue tho proceedings in court.

SECOND SUMMER
Most Critical Year in the Baby's
Existence.
At No Time So Liable to Sudden Intes
tinal Disorders.
The Earliest Victims to Cholera
Infantum.
Extraordinary Care with Baby's
Food 'Essential.
Weaning baby In summer Is attended
with peril when heat and Improper
feeding conspire to derange the sensi
tive .stomach.
As warm weather comes on children
require the most wholesome, nourishing
and palatable diet possible, and lac
tated food should be In the hands of
every mother. Sudden changes of the
atmosphere are dangerous above all
things to Infants whose digestive ap
paratus Is out of order, and the use
of lactated food la especially to be com
mended because of Its corrective In
fluence In cases of irritability of the
stomach.
Then, too, tho mother who has tried
hard to nurse her child, but growing
weak and losing her own appetite until
she Is nearly worn out, and finds now
that she must wean her Infant while
the days and nights are growing hotter
and more and more debilitating can do
so, as thousands of mothers have done
before, upon lactated food.
Tho infant will like it and grow
strong and happy upon it. The compo
sition of lactated food Is simply this:
Its basis Is Bugar of milk; with it Is
combined the digpstlve elements of
wheat, barley and oats, producing a
pure food which meets every require
ment of the growing child.
There Is no secret about It. It Is the
food physicians use In their own fam
ilies and most generally prescribe.
Thousands of mothers have testified
to the fact that lactated food has done
what nothing else could do saved the
lives of their little ones.
1 No better evidence can be offered of
Its superiority than the many Instances
In which fretful, peevish and sleepless
babies, as soon ns put on Jactated
feed, sleep all night and waks up
laughing. The happy change, physi
cians say, Is solely due to the superior
nourishing and satisfying qualities of
this best of foods.
It must be borne In mind that lac
tated food Is so Inexpensive that It Is
within the reach of every family.
HE WITHDREW THE CHARGE.
Constable J. W. Clark chanced His Mind

Last Saturday Constable J. W. Clark,

Clark swore out a warrant for tho
arrest of Michael and Patrick Duffy be
fore Alderman DeLacy, and at the
hearing Michael was held in bail for
his appearance at court. Patrick be
