Superior Court.
EKC HEAKD AT I'HILADELI'HIA
Opinion Handed Down In Cases Argued
at the Preccdlnc Session of tho
Court-Only On Case Was
Argued Yesterday.
The superior court's sitting w-as re
sumed at 1.30 yesterday afternoon with
the seven Judges present. The first
thing done was the handing down of
opinions in cases that have been ar
gued. The adjudication of them is
given below. There was but one case
ui'gued.
Homer Greene, Ilonesdale's poet
lawyer, represented the appellant, and
Attorneys A. T. Scarle and ex-Judge
H. Wilson represented the appellee.
The urguments of the counsels of both
sides were eloquent. The case was one
in which the burning of u saw mill at
Hnnesdule caused the litigation.
Henry Z. Kussell. the appellant, had
been the agent of the company at
Honesdule since Murch IS. 1KS2. In the
same year he placed In the company
the risk on the saw mill, tlxtures and
property of Joseph Atkinson at Tafton,
Hike county. Pa. This risk was carried
by the company, the policy being re
newed from year to year, until the
property was burned April 24, lSStlt. The
policy In forre at the time of the tire
was Issued September 11, 1SJ2 and ex
pired September 11, 1893.
tin or about January 6. 1893, K. J. Oal
lev, a special agent for the company,
called at theappellanfs otlice in Hones
dale and left a list of eleven policies
then in force which he marked. "Take
up." This list Included the Atkinson
policy and afterward a letter was re
ceived from the company In which the
action of Special Agent I'alley In or
dering the policies taken up was con
firmed and the appellant was ordered
in the letter to cancel the policies
specified at once.
Company Had' to Pay 1 p.
In consequence of the failure of Mr.
Russell to cancel the Atkinson policy
the company had to pay out $20 in
payment of the loss. On Dec. 7. 1893,
the company brought suit on account
of alleged negligence by him as agent
In that he did not use due and reason
able care, diligence and skill promptly
und faithfully to carry out the orders
Issued to him to terminate the policy
of Insurance issued to Joseph Atkinson.
The suit was tried before Judge 1'ur
dy, of llonesdale, and a verdict was
rendered in fuvor of the plaintiff in the
sum or $7U".r.6. The appeal argued yes

THEY FAVOR THE V1AEUCT
V-
Tie Central Board of Trade Heartily
Endorses it.'
MK. I'AIXE THE 0XLY OBJECTOR
Kinging Resolution Presented by A. W.
IHckson Commits the Board lo the
Viaduct Project-A Good Night's .
Work by the Boomers.
At the Invitation of the manufactur
ers' committee of the board of trade,
the viaduct committee of the West Side
board attended lust night's meeting to
discuss the contemplated improvement.
They departed highly elated with the
result of their mission for the central
board gave Its unqualified endorsement
to the project and bade the boomers go
forth and conquer. Their approbation
and sympathy was received with the
greatest gratitude and on behalf of the
citizens of the West Side. Hon. John
R. Farr, spokesman of the committee,
heartily thanked the board for its ac
tion. When the regular business of the
bonrd hnd been concluded President
May annunced the presence and purpose
of the waiting delegation and invited
them to take the privilege of the lloor.
Mr. Farr accepted the invitation and
addressed the board substantially as
follows:
"Recognizing the broad spirit of this
board we feel that we can appeal to you
for co-operation and assistance In se
curing this vludurt, than which Im
provement none is more needed.
"Wedonot ask It alone as an Improve
ment. Fifteen years ago It was a neces
sity; today It Is imperative. Thirty
thousand people in order to get to
Scranton must endanger their life and
limb. We hear that the city has done
enough for tho West Hide In construct
ing the Linden street bridge. We ap
proved of It but we did not ask for It;
we wanted the viaduct. It was the
Kast Side that wanted it, the Linden
street bridge. The West Lackawanna
avenue crossing Is not only a menace
but a great inconvenience. The street
car company cannot give us a proper
service on account of the crossing.
Have an Opportunity Now.
"We have the nportunity to remedy
this evil now. Council has author
ized that a vote be taken on the issu
ance of $150,000 worth of bonds to meet
the expense. We have the right of way
secured at a reasonable figure. The
cost Is a mere bagatelle compared to
the necessity to removing this dunger
and Inconvenience. If an accident oc
curred there it is not likely that there
would be any hesitancy about giving
us tho viaduct. That no serious ac
cident has occurred is remarkable. The
erection of the viaduct will not only be
a benefit to the West Side but nlso to
the city at lurge and especially the
central city."
Mr. Farr's speech was greeted with
cheers which plainly bespoke that it
had a telling effect and that sentiment
In the board leaned towards the vlu
duct. T. F. Mason, president of the West
Side board of trade, made a few re
marks, after which 11. K. Pnlne arose
and In a tone which augured no good
for the vluduct project, stated that
there were a few things he would ..ae
to know concerning the viaduct before
he was prepared to vote on It. First,
ho would like to know If the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company
and Traction company were going to
pay anything towurds the vluduct. and,
secondly, was the committee aware of
Just how much of the HaO.iHlo would bo
necessary for Its completion.
Said the Traction Company Would Pay
Mr. Mason stated that the Traction
company would pny $10.0(10 If not more
for the privilege of using the viaduct,
and that he felt confident that the
Delaware, Lackawanna and western
company would also pny its snare.
County Surveyor Hart, in a lengthy
speech, disapproved of the present via
duct plan and suggested as u substi
tute the scheme to cross from Seventh
street diagonally to Ninth street ut
Nealls court.
Mr. Fair remarked that Mr. Bartl
had evidently not given the matter
serious thought and that the people of
the West Side who have been studying
this matter for fifteen years ought to
know what they want and what Is best
for them.
The speech, however, which crystal
lized sentiment nnd sent it swecplngly
on the side of the viaduct was made by
A. W. Dickson. "The whole effort of
the best energy of this city," suid he,
"should be spent in obliterating those
old provincial lines. The bane of this
city hus always been that it was a col
lection of villages. These bridges and
viaducts will obliterate tills objection
able feature and they should be erect
ed regardless of trouble or expense.
The West Lackawanna avenue cross
ing, besides being a great Inconveni
ence Is an Intolerable menace. To these
vlnduct agitators we should say go
ahead, we are heartily In favor of the

establishment of this Imperatively
needed Improvement."
After the applause which followed
his remarks hud subsided Mr. Dickson
Incorporated his sentiments in a mo
tion. In siieaktng on the motion Mr.
Paine said:
"My questions have been only par
tially answered. I am confident the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company will not pay towards the
erection of the viaduct and I don't be
lieve the Traction company will give
anything. Their offer given some
years ago is to contribute $10,000, at the
rate of $1,000 a year and get it if you can.
There Is only live per cent, of this
board present and I do not favor com
mitting this entire board to the support
of a project which has been suddenly
sprung on us and which has not been
digested as thoroughly as its import
ance demands."
Hot Shot for Mr. Paine.
"If I thought" rejoined Mr. Dickson,
"that my speech was going to inflict
so much pain on the board I wouldn't
have sprung It. Mr. Paine is having
his little kick. He Is entitled to it as
is every member of this hoard, but he
does himself an Injustice when he con
fesses that lie does not understand this
matter which has been before the pub
lic for fifteen years."
The motion was then put and was
carried with only one dissenting vote
Mr. Pulne's. After Mr. Farr had ex
pressed his gratification and thanks for
the hoard's action adjournment was
made.

At a meeting of the directors of the
