.'"PH ANT GRADE CROSSING.
Judge (iuusler Hand lowu His
Opinion with Kefercure to It.
Judge tiiinster handed down nn opin
ion yesterday in the injunrliou pro
oe.'iliiigM of the Delaware and Hudson
Kuilroad company against the Lacka
wanna Valley Traction company und
theolyphunt Suburban Traction com
pany, and iu It he allows to cross the
gravity tracks at grade, but a subway
or ii viaduct must be constructed ut the
steam railroad crossing. He says:
"This case Is, no doubt, of more than
ordinary importance. It involves not
one. but live railroad crossings. Oly
pliant Is a thrifty and growing com
munity. The traffic through the bo
rough over the plaintiff's steam fond
Is rapidly increasing, and the travel on
tin1 defendant's road, when completed,
will undoubtedly be large and Increase
In time. tirade crossings once per
mitted and established are to all in
tents anil purposes established for all
time. Overhead or underneath cross
ing! are, no doubt, more expensive hut
experience ought to teach us that In
the end they are a great saving of life
and limb."
The defendants submitted this point:
"The evidence in this case shows that
the Scranton Traction company's sys
tem ot street railways has 't'i grade
crossings over steam railroad track
and that they carry over them seven
million passengers a year, and there
has never been a passenger killed or
injured at one of these grade cross
ings." His answer to this was: "I find as
requested, but it is a mutter of general
knowledge that persons have been in
jured and killed at similar cro-'sings,
and it is not only the letter, but the
spirit of the law that they be prohib
ited w here they can be with reasonable
practicability."
The opinion is a lengthy one and
covers enough of pages of legal cop tn
make a page of reading matter in a
newspaper. It required a week to try
the case. In conclusion. Judge tlun
ster says:
"In my opinion the defendants should
be permitted to cross the gravity road
til grade, under proper regulations us
to safety, grades, etc., and that In case
they can obtain the right of way so far
as the plaintiffs own or control .the
land necessary for same, free of charge,
and so far as the same is uwncd by
other parties at prices named in th
options which the plaintiffs hold, they
shot'd be restrained from crossing the
steam road at grade, and that, if the
defendants deem it advisable to adopt
the route along the plaintiff's steam
r ad on the westerly side of the tracks,
the plaintiffs should be required, at the
xpense of the defendants, to acquire
this triangular piece of land winch may
be necessary to make sutticieut room
for said crossing, aud that the defend
ants should pay the costs."
TURNPIKE COMPANY'S BILL.
Asks I.IIH.tii lor Work on Wc-I Mar

The Providence und Ahiuglon Turn
pike company's bill for repairs on West
.Market street from the time the famous
suit was brought until the present, was
submit led to the auditing commit lee of
councils last night. It amounts to
$I.H."t.ti2. or this amount $7?.'i.S2 is for
the repairs done from August, IMH', to
January, I mi.'., und for the settlement of
two small damage suits resulting from
the road being in bad repair. The re
pairs made last month are ligurcd ut
$lii7.M. Interest is computed at $l7a.6ii.
The bill was submitted at a previous
meeting, but objected to because it was
not itemized. The present bill gives
the nunie of every man who was en
gaged In the repairs together with the
number of days winked in each month
and rate of wattes. It was referred to
City Solicitor Torrey and S. B. Price,
tlie special attorney in the turnpike
mutter.
Chief Hickey's absence from the city
was indirectly the cause of all the lire
department bills laying over for two
weeks. The chief before going away
with the Crystals turned the hills over
to the chairman of the tire department
committee. Fred Dttrr. with the request
thut he would submit them to the aud
iting committee. Mr. Durr on the way
up lust night st ot. ied to argue the sil
ver question and when he got to the
City. hall he found that the committee
had adjourned.
HIS SEC0NDMUSICALE.
t.iven in Mr. Pennington1 Studio ou
.Madison Avenue.
The second of J. Alfred Pennington's
musicales was given last evening In
the studio rooms of his residence, 301
Madison avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Pen
nington were assisted in receiving by
Miss Catharine Timberman and Mr.
and Mrs. Thiele, who were introduced
to a large number of Scranton's repre
sentative people, including some of the
leading musicians. An admirably ar
ranged musical programme was pre
sented including songs by Miss Timber
man and Mrs. Thiele and instrumental
selections by Mr. Thiele and Mr. Pen
nington. Miss Timberman again
charmed her listeners, her rich noble
voice appearing at its best in the ora
torio number, "O, Thou that Tellest
(loud Tidings," from the Messiah, and
the extremely dramatic "Song of the
Tiger," from "Paul and Virginia."
Of the excellence of Mr. Pennington's
work both at the piano and organ it is
unnecessary to speak. Mr. and Mrs.
Thiele were heard in this muslcale for
the first time since making this city
their home, and it is a pleasure to say
that in them Scranton has gained an
admirable soprano and violinist. Mrs.
Thiele gave much pleasure to all her
solos, notably in the delightful "Spring
Song." of Weil, with violin obllgato.
Mr. Thlele's work was that of a thor
oughly conscientious artist. On the
whole the musicule was a decided suc
cess. BARLOW BROTHERS' MINSTRELS.
