NEW STYLE OF CATCH BASIN.
City Engineer Phillips is Giving It a
Test.
One of the Hershberger improved
catch basins has been put in at the
east side of Bank street and Piatt place
by City Engineer Phillips In order to
give it a test.
The advantages claimed for It are
that it does not permit of an accumula
tion of rubbish at the entrance as no
bars are placed at the entrance: no
bedlment can enter the sewer to block
it; no gas can escape and it Is perfect
ly frost-proof.
Should the basin give satisfaction,
which the next heavy storm will tell,
it is likely that the city will adopt it.
The inventor Is J. W. Hershberger, of
Plymouth, Pa.

Ucnornl Manager Prank Sltllmnn
Accompanies tho Answers.
The officers of the Scranton and
Plttston Traction company and the
tho Lackawanna Street Railway com
pany yesterday took steps to oppo.3e
the petition presented to the court last
week by tho Delaware and Hudson
Canal company asking the court to
compel these companies to take up a
frog by means of which the trolley
road crossed the tracks of the Dela
ware and Hudson company at Wyom
ing street, Mooslc.
After the petition was filed the Dela
ware and Hudson ofllclals had the ob
noxious frog taken out and then nsked
permission to withdraw the petition.
Next Wednesday was fixed for the
argument of tho matter, and yesterday
the two trolley companies filed tl.:lr
answer to tho Delaware and Hudson
company's petition. It is as follows:
The Lackawanna Street Railway com
pany and the Scranton and llttston
Traction company, tho defendants nboce
named in answer to tho petition of tho
plaintiff Bays:
First That tho Scranton Railway com
pany Is the lessee of their railway for tho
term of llfty years and that said railway
company has the excluslvo operation of
tho same and that they are Informed
and believe that said railway company
Is not now and never has operated said
road over tho crossing at Wyoming Btreet
in Mooslc in disregard of the injunction
granted In this case, neither does It in
tend or threaten so to do.
Second That said crossing is in the
public highway placed and kept there
with the consent of tho supervisors of
Lackawanna township.
Third That said crossing does not In
any manner Intcrfero with the use of the
highway by tho public.
PUT IN AT GRDAT COST.
Fourth That said crossing was made
and put In at great cost and expense to
wit, the sum of $2,200, by reason of mak
ing it according to the design and putting
It in to tho approval of tho plaintiff,
whereas or ordinarily put in and used
would have cost not above $500.
Sixth That by reason of tho danger to
the traellng public the defendants were
by Injunction prohibited from operating
said road In ca trying papsengers over said
crossing.
Seventh That the defenCants, by their
lessees, are not now nor do they Intend
or threaten to operate their road nor con
vey passengers over said crossing. Tho
road Is operated from Scranton to the
said crossing, about six miles and return
as If that were a separate road, passen
gers alighting from tho cars walking
across the plaintiff's tracks nt the ciosb
ing and taking tho cars on tho other side
of tho tracks, the cars on that side of the
tracks running from the crossing to Pitts
ton, about five miles and return, as if It
were a separate road.
Eighth That tho only use Intended to
be made of the said crossing is to facil
itate them In dragging new cars or dis
abled or worn out cars or wreck cars on
the highway across tho tracks of the
plaintiff.
Ninth That the cars taken over said
crossing on July 1 and 2 were empty cars.
Tenth That tho car run over said
crossing on July 18 was run upon tho
crossing by accident and to prevent a
severe accident and that alone, the motor
man ran the car over the crossing.
Eleventh That It has thus far been Im
possible for the defendants by any other
louto to avoid having Its road operated
so as to run Its cars from Scranton to
Plttston without compelling Its passen
gers to walk across the tracks of the
plaintiff at Wyoming street In Mooslc
for tho reasons (a) that It does not have
the right of eminent domain; (b) that It
has been unable to purchase or socuro the
right from property holders to construct
Its road through their properties or on
the roads or streets adjoining the some.
Twelfth That the mandate of the Su
preme court does not requlro tho remov
ing of tho crossing.
SUPPLEMENTAL, ANSWER.
In addition to the above the follow
ing supplemental answer was filed:
1. That on the 30th day of July, 1S97,
at 9 a. m., tho plaintiff and defendants
appeared before his honor, Judgo Gun
Hter, In Chambers, for hearing and ad
judication of the matters contained In the
petition of the plaintiff.
2. That the hearing was on motion of
the defendants regularly continued until
the ISth of August, 1S97.
3. That on Sunday. 8th of August, 1897,
the plaintiff unlawfully took the law
Into Its own hands and adjudicated the
case and by force and arms tore up and
threw out tho tracks of the defendants
at the croslng at Wyoming street. In tho
village of Mooslc, while the proceeding
to adjudicate and determine the respec
tive rights of the parties as to the said
tracks were pending and undetermined
by tho court.
1. That -the defendants have the right
to have their legal rights In tho premises
adjudicated by tho courts of this com
monwealth, and therefore resist and op
pose the motion of the plaintiff to dis
continue or dismiss their petition.
The defendants therefore pray:
1. That their legal and equitable rights
may be adjudicated by tho courts of this
commonwealth and that the plaintiff may
not bo permitted to discontinue or dis
miss Its petition In this caBC.
2. That tho plaintiff by order of the
court may bo compelled to replace tho
tracks as they wero when they Instituted
these proceedings.
3. That after hearing It may be de.
creed that tho defendants have the right
to keep tho said tracks at Wyoming
Btreet at Mooslc for the purpose of haul
ing new, disabled or worn out cars with
out passengers or wreck cars over tho
samo by horso power.
4. That they may havo such other and
further relief as the case may require
and to tho court may seem meet,

AN OFFICE RIOT.
Unsavory Case Before Alderman Howe
Devclopes Into a Free Fight
and Threats to Kill.
The spectacle of a grey-bearded man,
upholding the honor of his daughter,
with a crowd of sympathizers behind
him, their fists clenched and clamoring
for a battle with the followers of an
other man, one of the principals In the
case, and with an alderman and one
special ofllcer between the two factions
exerting their muscle in an effort to
still the rising tumult; threats of "I'll
kill you," "you lie!" In the nlr and talk
of knives, revolvers, etc., going about,
while the timid members of the crowd
of seventy-five people wero seeking
every available nook to get out of
harm's way all this was what hap
pened In Alderman Johu T. Howe's
olllce. corner of Washington and Lack
awanna avenues at 0.30 o'clock last
night.
Tho case which preceded this unusu
al scene was Instituted by Max Swartz,
a Throop hotelkeeper, against Andrew
Klgassko, and In his information
Swartz mentions his wife as the part
ner In Klgassko's guilt. The cose be
gan at 7.30 o'clock, at which time Al
derman Howe's ofllce was crowded with
friends of the principals. It had been
postponed since last Tuesday and ench
side In the Interim had secured a score
of witnesses. It was Swartz's evident
Intention to secure the conviction of
Klgassko and on this to base divorce
proceedings against his wife.
John Yoppo, the last witness, lost his
young son last week, the child drinking
embalming fluid out of a cup.
Alderman Howe placed Klgassko un
der $500 ball to appear at court; the
ball was furnished on the spot, and At
torney Horn wns making a request of
his honor that Isaac Jerkovltch, father
of Mrs. Swartz, be placed under bonds
to keep the peace. Jerkovltch', tho
father, was iiv tho room. With him
were three grown sons.
When he heard Attorney Horn's re
quest he rushed through the crowd, the
crowd crying in Hebrew that he "would
kill Rosenfelt." Rosenfelt is a brother-in-law
arid a friend of Max Swartz.
"I'll kill you" cried the old man. His
three sons rushed to his assistance.
Detective Charles Sllverburgh grasped
the aged man and pushed him away;
the sons made for Sllverburgh, nnd all
were crying aloud "Kill him!" Sll
verburgh was alone. Alderman Howe
took off his glasses, placed them on the
table and pitched into the crowd which
was overpowering Sllverburgh.
The confusion was something awful;
Rosenfelt and Swartz trembled like
aspens and made cries of "he has a
knife!" At this Attorney Fltzslmmons
got behind tho door of the safe. At
torney Horn admitted afterward that
he was ready to drop .expecting a re
volver to be in sight at any moment.
Through Alderman Howe's muscle" and
command the room was finally cleared
of the Jerkovltch faction, numbering
twenty or thirty men. Swartz and his
friends from Throop remained in the
office.
Both Rosenfelt and Swartz Immedi
ately swore out warrants for the arrest
of Jerkovltch and his three sons charg
ing them with threats to kill. The
warrants will be served today. Swartz
would not go home last night and
handed one of his followers one sliver
dollar to pay their car fare.
No change of cars of any class be
tween your station and Cleveland, Fort
Wayne and Chicago via D L. & w.

Syracuse Woman Expires While Walk

HEART DISEASE WAS THE CAUSE
Mr. Wllhclmiim Knclpplc, 41 Vcnrs
Old, Wns Apparently Well When
She Left Her Brother's JJIIouso on
South Seventh Street, but Sho Died
After Walking Ono Block--Called
to Ilur Brother nnd Then F.x-
plred--Coroner iiongstrcot Will
Investigate the Case. .
Mrs. Wllhelmlna Knelpple, of Syra
cuse, came to Scranton yesterday to
visit her brother, Conrad Schroeder,
of 317 South Seventh street. She ar
rived at noon nnd at 8 o'clock fell
dead while out wajking with her broth
er. Mr. Schroeder nnd his sister had left
his home to call upon a friend. They
had proceeded but a block away, when
tho Incident occurred. Mr. Schroeder
was slightly In advance of Mrs. Knelp
ple, and was wheeling a baby carriage.
His sister suddenly called to him as
they wero passing A. L. Singer's resi
dence on Oxford street. When ho
turned Mrs. Knelpple was leaning
against the fence. He ran back and
supported her as she seemed very 111.
Neighbors aslsted Mr. Schroeder to
carry her to the porch of Mr. Singer's
residence, but she did not speak again,
and died before Dr. Beddoe, who was
summoned, reached her.
Mrs. Knelpple was 41 years of age,
and was a large and heavy woman.
The probable cause of death was heart
disease. She has been subject to
slight attacks of heart trouble for sev
eral years, but was apparently In good
.health when leaving her brother's
house.
The coroner was notified and he gave
permission for tho removal of the body
to tho brother's residence. A verdict
will be rendered after the coroner's
visit this morning.
Tho deceased was a widow, and Is
survived by two sons and a Bister, re
siding In Syracuse, and her two broth
ers, Conrad and Charles Schroeder, of
this city. The later resides on Cherry
street, South Scranton. The remains
will be taken to Syracuse for Inter
ment this afternoon.
DETECTIVE CLIFFORD ASSAULTED.
Ho Had n Prisoner Whose Friends
Seriously Intcrfcrod.
Detective William Clifford was vic
iously assaulted and badly wounded
last evening on West Lackawanna ave
nue about 10:45 o'clock. His assailant
was a colored man who would not give
his nam1, but stated that he was
known by Drayman George Brown.
Detective Clifford was looking for
James Cooley, charged with assault
and battery. He found his man on
West Lackawanna avenue near the
American House.
While attempting to arrest him Clif
ford was assaulted by tne rellow'a
friends.
But for the Interference of bystand
ers, It would have gone hard with Clif
ford, as his assailant shattered a cane
on his head and was striking him.
Clifford resisted bravely, but the col
ored man was becoming too much for
him. The bystanders assisted and the
assailant was landed In the police sta
tion by the detective with Patrolman
Feeney's assistance.
The Detective's wounds consist of
several severe contusions and a bad
abrasion of the scalp.
Cooley escaped during the melee-, but
will probably be apprehended as he is
well known.
