Court Will llcnr Argument on the
Subject Monday .MorningArgU'
inent He lore Judge Archbald.
The Traction company yesterday
seized upon Washington avenue and
begun the laying of a single track In
the center or the roadway, to extend
fiom Spruce to Cibson street
No previous announcement had been
made of the company's Intention anil
when the business men and residents
of the block bounding the west side of
the court house found u gang of lii'ty
nu n cm ting up the usphnlt us the sun
was rising, there was great surprise
and no little Indignation. This latter
emotion resulted later In the day in a
prayer for a preliminary Injunction.
Thursday afternoon P. W. Gallagher,
special agent of the company, applied
at the street commissioner's ofllce for a
number of permits, the one for the lay
ing of a track on Washington avenue
between Spruce and Glhson streets be
ing among them. Street Commissioner
Kinsley being out of town on n two
weeks' vacation which cuds today, his
clerk, H. C. Mat ton. hesitated ubout
exercising his chief's authority in such
an important mult")', preferring that
the reiiuesls should be delayed until
Mr. Kinsley's return. Hut undaunted
by this .Mr. Gallagher went to Mayor
Kailcy and made an apeul for the l"ir-
inlts. The mayor siuumueu me maim
to t'lty Solicitor Torrey and upon the
latter's (statement that as far as he
knew the Traction company held the
light of way on the streets In question,
the mayor advised Clerk Hatton to
make out the permits. The mayor af
terwards approved of them.
At the tlrst break of day a gang of
fifty men were at work on the court
house block. They started in at Linden
street and worked towards Spruce. Ile
fore t! o'clock in the evening when work
for the day was knocked off rails had
been laid on half the block and the ex
cavation for ties vvus completed al
most the whole distance.
WHAT SILLIMAN SAYS.
General Manager Frank Silliman
says that the track will be laid
all the way to Gibson street
without any cessation and that the road
will be operated as soon as the work is
completed. The fear of the Citizen's
company securing the tight or way, ho
contends, has nothing to do with the
present operations. The service on the
Suburhnn lines to Ilunmoro and Green
Uldge is not satisfactory, because of
the delays at the turnouts on Adams
avenue. When the line Is completed
out Washington avenue It is proposal
to run ull the Suburban cars out Adams
avenue and back by the new route. The
Nay Aug and Petersburg cars will also
reach Spruce street by way of Wash
ington avenue, which wil be topped at
Linden street.
Mr. Silliman eaid he knew there was
objection to having Washington ave
nue occupied by street cars, but since
the business .character of the street Is
now beyond dispute the objections
brought forth when It was a residence
street, do not hold good. The court
house, government building and post
otlice, the newspaper offices, the board
nf trade building, the city hail, library,
high school, Krie and Wyoming Valley
depot and the numerous business
places now or closely adjacent to the
avenue make a car service on thut
thoroughfare a public necessity. Mr
Silliman further added that the road
would be completed with all possible
haste and that only a short stretch of
roadway .would be disturbed at a time.
THE RIGHT OF WAY.
The Traction company's occupation
of Washington avenue is by virtue ot
the Valley Passenger Hallway com
pany's franchises, which they now
possess. The Citizens Kallway com
pany was granted charter rights for
Washington avenue and Is now seek
ing to secure a franchise for the same,
claiming that the Valley Passenger
franchise expired January Mi, 1S!5, be
cause the privileges granted were not
taken advantage of within the two
years prescribed. The Traction people
say the Valley franchises were revived
by a supplementary ordinance ap
proved on the day they would have
expired. This question Is now under
consideration in the executive depart
ment In Ilarrisburg, a quo warranto
having recently been granted upon pe
tition of the People's Street Kallway
company to compel the Citizens com
pany to show cause why their char
ter rights should not be revoked, the
contention of the Peoples' company
being that the Citizens' company has
secured charter rights for streets now
controlled by the People's company.
The famed Valley Passenger railway
ordinance was sprung upon councils in
the fall of 1RH2 by a company composed
of W. F. Hallstead. Martin Maloney,
August Koblnson, John J. Faliey, Jo
seph O'Hrien anil a few others. It oc
casioned a big fight and nroused no
small amount of public discussion. The
citizens protested In communications to
the papers and In personal interviews
with the councilmen against the grant
ing of the sweeping lights asked for,
unless the city should receive something
In teturn. A party of capitalists head
ed by John W. Aitken, of Carbondale.
which party, later developments led
many to believe was the People's Street
Hallway company In disguise, offered
tio.uon for the franchise which the Val
ley people were about to get for noth
ing, councils about this time having
given unmistakable evidence of its In
tention to pass the ordinance.
WAS GRRAT OPPOSITION'.
At first there was a great deal of op
position In councils to the passage of
the ordinance, but this opposition rap
Idly melted away and on the 2d of Jan
uary, 1893. the ordinance duly concurred
In by both branches of councils went
before Mayor John H. Fellows for las
approval. Mayor Fellows was not dis
posed to give such valuable rights for
nothing, he said, and allowed the Ait
ken people until 1 o'clock p. m., Janu
ary 18. to give a bond that they meant
what they said when they offered $10,
000 for the franchise. The mayor wait
ed until that hour and as the good-faith
bond of the Aitken people was not forth
coming he signed the ordinance, Iu at
taching his signature, Mayor Fellows
made the following memorandum:
Now, 1 o'clock. January Ifilh. 1893. John
W. Aitken, ft. si., failing to give bonds to
mnko their offer good, and on advice of my
private counsel, I approve of the above
ordinance, so that it may not become a law
by default, ,
The day on which Mayor Fellows
signed it was the last one of the fifteen
allowed hltn to approve or veto a meas
ure. The Aitken people not having
shewn the required evidence of good
faith, there was no call for his vetoing
the ordinance.
The ordinance had no sooner become
operative than the franchise it contain
ed was In the hands of the People's
Street Railway company.
The two years' time granted the com
pany to take advantage oi the privi
leges of the franchise was drawing to
an end and no move had been made to
lay any tracks. Some thought that the
company would let the franchise go by
default, having killed off the opposition
by buying up their rights. But this
conjecture was anything but a close
one. On January 16, 1895, the franchise
would become null and void, for the
reason noted above. On December ,
1S94, an ordinance was Introduced ask
ing for a few additional streets and con
taining a clause of which the following
Is a copy:
Section 6. Whenever said Valley Passsen.
ger Hallway company shall not have com
pleted the construction of the lines men
tinned above, or the lines mentioned In
the ordinance, upproved the lisih of Jan
i.urv, 1S93, to which this Is a supplement,
within two years from the approval of this
ordinance, the franchises granted on the
portions of any streets, where such tracks
have not been completed, shall be for
feited to the city.
The clause "of the lines mentioned In
the ordlnace approved the lfith day of
January, 1893, to which this Is a sup
plement," Is what the fight between
the Traction company and the new
Citizens' Street Railway company will
come to blows over. The Traction peo
ple claim that this clause reviewed
the original Valley Tassenger ordin
ance and gave It a two years' addi
tional lease of life. The Citizens' com
pany say that it did nothing of the
kind anil that at all events it is illegal
to rev Ive ni ordinance with a supple
mentary ordinance.
SOMES QI'ICK WORK.
As an evidence of the importance
the Traction company attached to the
supplementary ordinance und as an
indication of the exceptional ability of
its lobbyists It might be noticed that
the reviving ordinance was introduced
in common council December 13, 1894;
passed first and second readings Jan
uary 2, 1895; passed third reading Jan
uary 3: went over to select council on
the same night and was referred to com
mittee; passed lirst and second readings
in select council, January 8 , passed
third reading In select council Jnunury
15 and was approved by Mayor Con
nell, the next day, January IB. 1S95, just
two years to the date from the time
when the franchise commenced to run.
Another day's delay anil they would
have been null and void.
In this revived ordinance, the life of
which depend on the debatable clause,
has continued the franchise for
Washington avenue. "Thence on Ash
street to Washington avenue, thence
on Washington avenue to Cherry
street," Is the. way the line reads. There
was a hot fight at the time against In
cluding Washington avenue In the
grant, but like all the rest of the op
position it was duly overcome. The
injunction proceedings were brought by
C. D. Jones.
In his affidavit and bill of equity Mr.
Jones sets forth that he is the owner of
property abutting on Washington ave
nue, between Spruce and Linden
streets, said lot being 40 feet front and
extending back to an alley running be
tween Washington and Wyoming ave
nues; thnt Washington avenue has
been paved with sheet asphalt at the
expense ot the property owners.
ACQUIRED NO RIGHT.
That the Valley Passenger Railway
company by its articles of Incorpora
tion aii ml charter acquired no right to
build or operate a street railway on
Washington avenue between Spruce
street and Linden. That by ordinance
of the city of Scrarton duly approved
on January IB, 1S93, the Valley Pas
senger company was authorized to
build a street railway over certain
streets, which included Washington
avenue from Ash street to Cherry
street, and includes the block between
Spruce and Linden, but that said per
mission was invalid In that at the time
of passing said ordinance the Valley
Passenger company had not franchise
to build or construct the same if such
was given by the ordinance without the
franchise, has been wholly lost by ren
son of the nnnbulliling of the same
within two years of the date of the
passage of said ordinance. The time
fur building the said street railway on
said street, has never been extended
by the illy.
.Mr. .limes avers further that the Val
ley Passenger company never obtained
consent to build the line of railway In
their articles of association and have
never built u continuous line of rail
way, but have built only disjoined and
disconnected parts thereof, impossible
to be opera toil under their charters.
That the Scranton Traction company,
the other defendant. Is a corporation
Incorporated on October 20, 1892. for the
purpose of the. construction anil opera
tion of motors and cables and other
machinery for supplying motive power
for passenger railways and the neces
sary apparatus fur supplying the same;
and that on May 4. 1893, the Valley
Passenger company leased all Its rail
ways to the Scranton Traction com
pany for the term and period of 99
years; the said lessor agreeing with
the lessee to construct thirleen and
one-bulf miles of its railway ut once,
and a remaining portion when the les
see should request, the. thirteen and
one-half miles of railway to be Inimeil
lately constructed Including that por
tion on Washington avenue from Lack
awanna avenue to Ash street, and In
cluding the block on Washington ave
nue between Spruce and Linden.

REV, THOS, M. CANNr LL. D.,
Or WALTER H. BUELU A. M,
In constructing .and laying down a
street railway on Washington avenue
and in front of the plaintiff's property,
and have dug up and removed the pave
ment and foundation thereunder and
are about to lay down rails, ties and
other obstructions to trul, and in the
opinion of the plaintiff, and he is ad
vised as a matter of law, the defend
ants are doing the work without any
authority, and that the construction of
the said street railway will be an ob
struction to the means of access to the
property of the plaintiff.
Mr. Jones says also in his affidavit
and bill that he believes the defend
ants have no intention of building any
other road on Washington avenue, ex
cept between Linden and Spruce street
and that It cannot be operated or used
In connection with any other part of
the line of the Valley Passenger com
pany, and therefore prays the court for
an Injunction.
The argument for an injunction was
made before Judge Archibald In cham
bers at 3.30. Hon. John P. Kelley and
J. Alton Davis, esq., represented the
plaintiff, and fur the . defendant ap
peared Major Everett Warren, ex-Judge
W, H. Jessup, Horace E. Hand, esq..
and I. H. Hums. General Manager
Frank Silliman, Jr., of the Traction
company, was present also.
After Judge Archbuld examined the
papers, Mr. Kelley presented the plain
tiff's case, reviewing briefly the allega
tions contained In the bill, and then he
moved for a preliminary Injunction. He
was followed by Judge Jessup, who said
that the charter of the defendants au
thorizes the tracks to be laid, a city
ordinance also authorizes the work to
be done, and a permit has been obtain
ed from the municipal authorities. He
said, therefore, according to the law
and the ordinance the plaintiff has no
standing. A private citizen, he said,
has no reason t complain of a public
nuisance, if the building of the street
railway is such, unless he can show
special damages.
COPY OF THE CHARTER.
Judge Archbald said It was not a
question of public nuisance, and did
not care to hear argument on that
point. The plaintiff alleged In his bill
of complaint that the defendants had
no right on the portion of the street
now occupied. Mr. Kelley went down
stairs to the recorder of deeds' office
and brought up the docket in which was
entered the articles of association and
the charter of the Valley Passenger
company.
The docket showed that the Valley
Passenger company by its charter has
the light to occupy Washington avenue
between Olive street and Fig street.
That disposed of one branch of the
plaintiff's case, and then the defend
ants' right to lay the tracks was at
tacked on the ground that the ordi-
nonce granting the franchise has ex
pired. In answer to thnt. Major War
ren produced a permit signed by the
street commissioner giving the com
pany leave to tear up the street and
lay the tracks.
Major Warren, Mr. Hand, and Mr.
Ruins argued to the court that the per
mit was sufficient to show that the
municipal authorities, or rather the city
of Scranton, sanctioned the work, which
would not be the case If the ordinance
hnd expired. Mr. Hand explained thnt
tlie ordinance granting the franchise to
the Valley Passenger company passed
council and was approved by the mayor
on Jan. 16, 1893. The company was
chartered on Oct. 2.", 1892. The com
pany was bound to lay Its tracks with
in two years, but on Jan. 16, 1895, coun
cil passed another ordinance which w as
signed by Hon. W. L. Connell, then
mayor, extending the time two years,
which gives the defendants until Jan.
16, 1897, to lay their tracks.
Judge Archbald said that he did not
think tho plaintiff was entitled to a
preliminary injunction, but he granted
a rule to show cause why one should
not Issue and designated Monday morn
ing next at 10 o'clock before him In the
arbitration room of the court house as
the time and place for the hearing.
THE OTHER PERMITS.
The other permits secured by the
Traction company Thursday are as
follows: Under the People's Street
railway franchise they propose to occu
py a portion of Wyoming avenue be
tween Linden and Mulberry streets
with a single track, or In other words
remove the double tracks and lay a
single track in the center of the street.
Ity virtue of the Suburban Street rail
wny franchise they intend to relay the
track between Jefferson anil Present t
avenues on Mulberry street, and to
place turnouts between Jefferson and
Madison, Clay and Webster, and Irving
and Prescott.
And with the Valley franchise they
propose to lay a single trai k on Hem
lock street from Prospect avenue con
necting with Pillston avenue and then
on Pittston avenue from Hemlock
street to Front street and then on Front
street to the track on Roaring Krnok
bridge, with a turnout between Hem
