MI. PLEASANT It A VINE.
Much Kcpends ori Whether or Not It Can
lie I'tllizcd for a Sewer.
The sewers and drains committee of
select council met at the city hall nt
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and pro
ceeded to the West Side in a body to
look Into the advisability of permitting
the use of the Mount Pleasant ravine as
a sewer.
At the last meeting of the select
branch while the ordinance for a lateral
sewer on Hyde Park avenue was under
discussion Mr. Chittenden Inquired as
to where It was proposed to empty the
sewer and upon learning that there
is no main sewer In thut district, and
that It is intended to make the Mount
Pleasant ravine the outlet, he raised the
question as to whether or not Banltary
authorities would object to such a pro
ceedure. Committee Meet Tonight.
This led council to direct the sewers
and drains committee to Investigate
the matter and make a report. The
committee will meet this evening at 7.30
o'clock prior to the select council meet
ing, and will frame their report In ac
cordance with their findings yesterday.
The ravine is nothing more or less
than an open ditch extending from
North Main avenue to the river. It Is
a natural water course, but Is princi
pally fed by the mine water from the
Mount Pleasant and Diamond collieries
and Mount Pleasant air shaft. '
The Decker's court sewer already
empties into it but when permission
was granted for this, It was understood
that the sewer was designed to carry
only surface water. Property holders,
however, have utilized It for general
sewer purposes,-and as yet no com
plaints have been heard.
It Would Bo a Great-Savings.
Tf it is found advisable to allow this
new sewer to empty Into the ravine
it will be a great saving, if not the
Hyde Park avenue sewer will not be
built. No lateral sewer can be built In
that district until a main sewer has
been contructed, and under the recent
decision of the Supreme court It will
be Impossible to build a main sewer
without building an entire sewer dis
trict simultaneously. The people of
that locality are hardly ready for such
an expensive improvement as that Just
yet.
One of the members of the comittee
stated last night that the committee be
lieves that the ravine can be safely ad
opted for the contemplated utilization
with a very small outlay and will so
recommend in their report tonight.

BOY'3 TERRIBLE DEATH.
Struck bv the F.nglno of a Passongcr
Train on the D. k II. Hsilroad.
Albert, the 8-year-old eon of John
Kuhns. Jr.. of Cherry street, met with
a terrible death on the Delaware and
Hudson tracks at the Brook street
bridge yesterday afternoon at 2 o.i:lock
The little fellow was. Instantly klud
and his body was badly bruised.
He was playing- near the railroad
when the fast pasBenger train from
Wllkes-Barre came along, and, seeing
the train approaching, he attempted
to cross the tracks, but Just as he got
between the rails of the northbound
track, the pilot of the engine struck
him and hurled him diagonally for'
ward.
Struck Against a Stono Walk.
His body went like an arrow down the
embankment and struck against the
retaining stone wall of the bridge. The
blow from the train did not kill him,
but his life went out when he was
dashed against the stones. When the
train passed by, those who saw the
dreadful accident, ran down the em
bankment, which Is about fifteen feet
high, and they picked the body up and
carried it home, when the lad's mother
went almost frantic with grief.
The parents live on Cherry street,
near the Steel Works station, and
where the boy was killed Is not more
than 300 yards from his home. The
bridge of the railroad crosses the Staf
ford Meadow Brook at the corner of
Remington avenue and F.rook street.
The train which killed him does not
stop at the Steel Works station, and It
comes along at a more rapid rate than
the other trains,
Young Kuhns was in company with a
few other boys of his age, and ho
thought that the train would stop at
the station, when he saw It rounding
the curve near the Sauqolt silk fac
tory. He stopped as he got on the
track, and turned to look toward the
train; he seemed paralyzed, with fear
when he saw It coming, toward him
t.nd made no attempt to get out of tho
way of danger.
Coroner J. A. Kelley was notified and
he went to the scene of the' accident.
He empaneled the following Jury: W,
F. Campbell. C. J. Ruddy. J. C. Rosar.
Frank McDonald, David Burke and
Patrick Roche.
The body was viewed and the Inauest
was adjourned until Friday evening to
give tne trainmen time to be on hand
and Rive their testimony. The hearing
will take place at the arbitration room
or tne court house.

BEARD LI ARCUr.TENT COM
Plaintiff and Defendant in the Same
Case Want a New Trial.
ARGUMENTS THEY ADVANCE
One Says the Verdict Was Too Small and
tho Other Maintains That There
Should Ba No Ver
dict at All.
First upon the list for a hearing In
Argument court this morning are the
two rules In the Smith-Burns case. At
torney Smith will argue to set aside the
award of the arbitrators and the rep
resentatives of Mr. Burns will oppose
it and argue for a dismissal of the rule.
The application for a change of venue
in all of Smith's cases will come up, too.
He Is striving to have the argument
on the rule to set aside the award made
before the court of another district. He
wants to get bag and baggage out of
the courts of this county with his case.
There was a somewhat unusual case
argued yesterday afternoon; that of
John W. Cure and others against Wil
liam G. Miller. Both sides want a new
trial. Attorney S. II. Price appeared
for the defendant and Attorney W. W.
Watson for the plaintiff. Mr. WatBon
argued first and asked for a new trial
on the ground that no verdict at all
should be rendered. Both attorneys ar
gued for a new trial from their own
standpoint, but once Mr. Watson un
wittingly lapsed Into an argument
against the contention of Mr. Price, and
Judge Edwards caused the court to de
scend from its pedestal of gravity and
Indulge in a hearty laugh, when he
asked Mr. Watson if he was not pur

Harbor Cnso lias Been Settled.
Attorneys Joseph O'Brien and Mr.
Watson, the respective counsel In the
case of Ira T. Barber against the
Scranton .Glass company, announced
that they had come to an amicable
agreement and settled the case.
The court disposed of several cases
readily yesterday. Judgment was re
versed in the following actions: George
M Schmidt vs. Bernard Uubi'l, cer
tiorari; the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company vs. Robert Ward, certiorari.

The ease of Jane Cowling against the
Iron City Mutual Fire Insurance com
pany, of Pittsburg; plea for abatement,
was brought to the notice of the court
yesterday by ex-Congressman Lemuel
A merman, who represents the com
pany. .
Facts in the On so.
Mr. Amcrman said that the facts were
about as follows: Mrs. Jane Cowling
owned a house in Wayne county and
had It Insured with this company; the
house was destroyed by fire, the com
pany failed to pay the policy and the
woman through her attorneys, Watson
& Zimmerman, brought suit In the com
mon pleas court of this county. Mr.
Amermnn lnadvertenly entered his ap
pearance non-assumpsit, and the case
was marked on the trial list.
Subsequently, the company wrote to
Mr. Amerman and told him that Mrs.
Cowling's house was In Wayne county
and consequently It was not within the
jurisdiction of this court to hear the
Issue. Mr. Amerman then for the first
time learned that the house was not in
this county: previously he had taken It
for granted that the house was In
Lackawanna from the mere fact that
the suit had been brought here. He
wrote back to the company and said
that his appearance having been en
tered and the case having gone so far
as to take out the first rule in arbitra
tion, bound the company In the courts
of this county, notwithstanding that the
house was th Wayne.
The company wrote back and told Mr.
Amerman that no matter whether he
entered his appearnce or not, the case
would not be tried In this county. The
Judges are puzzling over the case.
