In an opinion in th case of Bortrep
against Butterman Judge Archbald
yesterday gave an olhclal Interpreta
tion of the relations between the sheriff
and the court,-something that had nev
er been ruled upon before locally and
possibly never. beforeAn this stale.
The case came before' court in the
shape of a rule on the sheriff to com
pel him to execute a writ of possession
Issued by Aldeiman Wright to F. Bor
tree for a property In the Tenth ward,
which has belonged to Albert Butter
man and which Bortrc-e bought nt sher
lft'3 sale. Tho rule was granted, but
yesterday Judge Archbald recalled the
order and discharged the rule, making
the following comment:
"Thi proceedings by the sheriff's
vendue are not before us, but before
the alderman, wheie Ihey were of ne
cessity Instituted, Thp wilt of posses
sion theiefore la not our writ, nor the
sheriff our oflleer, sofas to charge us
with the control 'andf oversight of his
execution of It. The law gives us no
general control over,,the sheriff, but
only Incidentally v here the process of
the court Is piitlin(hl9 hands. As to
other matters hd alts upon his own
Judgment, being responsible for his acts
and omission?, accortllng to his legal
duty In the premise, pt was a mistake
to ask for the present rule and had
the exact nature of" the application
been disclosed to us, we should have
refused it. Being inadvertently grant
ed, It is now discharged, without at
tempting to decide the duly of the
shorlff with regard to the matte-rs set
forth In the petition on which the rule
was obtained. Kule discharged without
prejudice."
LINDSAY-ROBINSON CASE.
Judge Edwards In a lengthy and In
teresting opinion In the Llndsay-Rob-lnson
case ruled that the mere element
of the annexation of appurtenances to
realty has but little weight In fixing the
character of the appurtenances, that
Is it is no criterion in deciding whether
It Is realty or a chattel. The old "nail
and screw" distinction, in other words,
cut a very small figure.
William Klnback owned a plrfnlng
mill In Carbondale, pn which W. B.
Lindsay had a $5,000 'mortgage. T. C.
Robinson, who, had a Judgment against
the place, sold It out pnd proceeded to
remove the machinery: which he himself
bid In. Lindsay felt tfiat the mill with
out the machinery would not commence
to satisfy his mortgage and applied
to court for an Injunction to restrain
Robinson fiom removing any more of
the machinery and to compel him to
replace what he had already taken
away. The defendants made answer
that the machinery jwas not part of the
lealty and consequently not arfected
by Klnback's mortgage.
Judge Edwards decides that every
piece of the machinery necessary to
operate the mill Is just as much realty
a3 the building and the ground it
stands on.
By refusing a new trial In tho case
of Powell Domlnlco against the Iron
City Mutual Fire Insurance company,
of Plttiburg, Judge Archbald puts a
quietus, locally, at least, on one of the
harde-st fought legal battles over a
small claim that appears on the rec
ord.
AX INSURANCE CASE.
Domlnlco owned a small dwelling
house at the "Continental," which he
had insured with the defendant com
pany for $700. It was completely de
stroyed by fire shortly after the in
surance money was subject to collec
tion and Domlnlco made demand tor
the full amount of the policy. The
company demurred at this demand and
the dispute went Into arbitration.
The arbitrators found In favor of the
plaintiff for the full amount with in
terest. The company appealed and at
the trial of the' case made the allega
tion that Domlnlco forfeited his policy
' rights because an unprotected stove
pipe projected through the floor of one
of the upper rooms, which was con
trary to the provisions of the agree
ment. The jury said "bosh" to this and gave
a verdict for the plaintiff In the sum
of $705.83, a small Increase over the
award of the arbitration. A new trial
was secuied on some technically or
another and again on March 27 last,
tho jury found for Domlnlco In the
sum of $711.18. Again the company pe
titioned for a new trial, this time pre
senting as Its grounds therefor a by
law printed on the back of the policy
which estops the assured from recov
ering more than two-thirds the actual
cash value of the property destroyed.
A BAD PROVISION.
Judge Archbald, In a polite but un
mistakable kind of a way, tells the
company that ho Is not at all favorably
impiessed with a policy which on the
face of It tells the assured he will re
ceive full value and on the back In an
obscure by-law stipulates that only
two-thirds of the actual value can be
recovered. The repugnancy between
the two provisions Is not the fault of
the plaintiff, he holds, and decides that
the company 1b the one to suffer from
the confllctlon.
In the case of the city of Scranton
against E. B. Sturges and others, court
struck off the municipal Hens, on the
ground that they were defective. The
Hens were filed at ,the time of the
paving of North; Washington avenue.
Mr. Sturges and'other property hold
ers alleged that the paving was Im
properly done, and resisted payment,
alleging that the liens were defective
because in each case they covered prop
erties separated by a public thorough
fare. Court afflrmed this contention.
IN ORPHANS' COURT.
Patrick Mulherni was appointed
guardian of Nora Scanlon, minor child
of Martin Scanlpn, deceased, vice R.
A. Zimmerman, Under tho law an or
phan can select his or her own guard
Ian after reaching the age of 14 years.
Mr. Zimmerman, was appointed guard
ian by court when Miss Scanlon was
under 14, Having reached 14 recently,
she petitioned for a change of guard
ians, sugestlng her sister Mary. Court
feared a clash of interests and declined
to make the appointment. ' Mr. Mul
hern was then suggested and his nomi
nation was approved.
Abram FlueJJyn -was appointed
guardian of Jam and,' Elizabeth Mi-
lone, minor children of Martin Mttlone,
late of Carbondale.
William" R- Simma was appointed
guardian of Reese and Evn Evans,
minor children of Mary Ann Evans,
late of Scranton.

LETTER THAT IS

sistants ns .liny lie NcccssitrvIIe
Calls tho Attention or tho Coun
cllmcu to tho Tact Tlmt They Ilnvo
Nollightto Hire MoK to Mjork on
the Streets. ,
Street Commissioner Dunning on
Saturday mailed a letter to every coun
cilman in the city. Most of them did
not reiach those to whom they were nd
diessed until yesterday and when they
were read many uncomplimentary
things were said about the new street
commissioner by the city fathers. The
letter Is apparently a 'very harmless
document and was jenned In a most
courteous manner. Here It is:
Scranton, Pa., May 29, 1897.
Dear Sir: I desire to call your attention
to Section 4, page 223, Laws and Digest
of Ordinances, 1891, which reads aa fol
lows: "Ho shall employ such laborers, fore
men and assistants, as may bo necessary
to carry on. the business aforesaid, and
Bhall mako contracts for the purchase of
tho material necessary for use In his de
partment.wherono'.otherwlse provided by
law or ordinance; but In no case shall he
Incur liability beyend the amount appro
priated for tho street department; provid
ed, that no foremen, laborers, or assist
ants shall be employed, and no contiacts
made, materials purchased, or work done.
In any ward of tho city, except by and
with the advice and consent of tho select
and common councllmen of the ward In
which tho material Is to bo used or the
work performed."
I have been unable to find any other
authority fqr labor on tho streets.
POWERS OF COUNCILMEN.
You will observe from the reading of
this section that no authority is vested In
the councllmen to employ foremen or la
borers unless they have first confered
with tho street commissioner. It thus be
comes tho duty of tho street commissioner
to take charge of all street work.
I Intend to assume the duties of the Im
portant trust imposed upon me In ac
cordance with thp letter of tho section
quoted above. To do this I solicit your
hearty co-operation.
Hereafter when any street work Is to
bo done in your ward I shall be pleased
to meet you by appointment and agree
upon the foremen and the number of men
to bo employed In that work, thus avoid
ing any difficulty In the approval of the
pay roll. Respectfully yours.
A. B. Dunning, Jr.
Street Commissioner.
If Mr. Dunning succeeds in getting
the councllmen to allow him to practi
cally name the foremen and laboreis
to do repairs In tho vailous wards he
will have inauuurated one big reform
that will save much money for the city.
He must be prepared for some fighting,
however, before his plan becomes a
reality. He Is infringing on one of the
sacivd prerogatives of the councllmen,
more especially those from the sub
urbs, and they will not give it up
without a big struggle.
WHAT A COUNCILMAN SAID.
One councilman who was seen by a
Tribune reporter lyesterdaV said; "I
hope Mr. DilhrilngHvlll be able to make
the councllmen live up to the law In
the matter of expending money on the
public streets, but I doubt If he will
succeed unless he has plenty of back
bone and the active support of Mayor
Bailey, I do not know that Mr. Dun
ning Is fully aware of the reception
his letter will receive from a large
number of the councllmen. He will
not long remain In doubt, however, for
that letter Is going to raise a howl.
"Some kind of rigid supervision of
street work Is an absolute necessity,
and Mr. Dunning should receive sup
port In this stand he has taken. Where
foremen are Indiscriminately chosen
the street commissioner can have no
knowledge of the correctness of the
pay rolls and in the past the padded
pay roll, not to use a harsher term,
hits been one of the crying evils of the
street commissioner's department. Its
twin evil was the assignment of or
ders for street work, which is now
rendered more difficult than it was
formerly.
MONEY THROWN AWAY.
"Many cases haye come under my
personal observation, where the city's
money has been thrown away In street
work. I recall where $12 was spent In
cleaning out 150 yards of gutter that
could have been done for fifty cents.
With proper foremen, who were re
sponsible to some one, such reckless
wasting of public moneys would not
be possible."
Mr. Dunning will receive the active
support of some of the councllmen in
the matter referied to in the letter,
but there are others who have noth
ing but the cold steel for him It he
endeavors to compell them to respect
the ordinance quoted above."

BURNED IN DODGE MINE.
Thomas R. James and Henry llogan En
counter Gas in the "Big Vein
with Serious Results.
An explosion of gas occurred yester
day mornlnir about 11 o'clock In the
Dodge mines and two company men
were severely burned. The men are
Thomas R. James, of '1136 Kynon street,
and his helper, Henry Hogan, of 3fi
Fifth street.
The men, in company with two oth
ers, were engaged in laying new tracks
on a main gangway in the big vein.
James and his helper went forward
some distance alont' the gangway
when suddenly the lamp carrleel by
James Ignited a body of gas and the
two were burned. The only way the
presence of tho gas can be explained is
that a "blower" must have broken out
shortly before tho men arrived at this
point.
Ja.mes, who Is c married man, was re
moved to his home, while Hogan, who
Is single, was taken to the Moses Tay
lor hospital. Upon examination It was
found that James was burned about
the face, neck, chest and hands more
or leps severely. His hands and neck
and chest near the arm pits seem to
h'avo the, deepest burns. Hogan Is
burned pretty badly ubout his hands,
his face anil lower limbs are also
scorched a little.
THREE INJURED PERSONS.
One in Lnnd, Another in Reputation
mid a Third in the Leg.
Three new damare sulU were filed
with Prothonotary C, E. Pryor yester
day. Fugene Vail complained to court that
his land adjacent to Chapman's lake In
Scott town&hlp has been Inundated by
reason of the outlet of the lake having
been dammed by the Ruahbrook Water
company. W. F. Clements, George
Lelghton, Edward Roderick, F. A.
Bates and William Frantz were ap
pointed viewers to assess the damages,
with Instructions to meet on tho
grounds June 14, at 11 o'clock a. m.
Cn May 16, last, Michael Dubin, of
Jeseup, so it Is, alleged in papers filed
by Attorney George D. Taylor, said
some things concerning his neighbor,
Albert Nowahawak Which were not
very complimentary to Mrs. Victoria
Morek. Nowahawak denies' the allega
tion and asks $1,000 damages as a balm
for his stanejard reputation. Mrs, Mo
rek Is yet to be heaid'from.
The city of Scranton, Joseph A. Cas
espe, Salvatore'dt Martini and Nicholas
Oarluccl, were made defendants In a
suit for $10,000 damages by Ella Kel
