Whether or not the Mulberry street property holder? who have ear tacks in front of their places must shine with their neighbors who lmvo not this con venience the bonus that comes from the ear company having to pay for the paving between Its tracks, Is to he do hi. ii'.l liv menus of n case stated. Through an agreement reached by 'lty Solicitor M. A. McOlnley and Al- tnrneys I. II. Hums ana i . cioKt, icprosentlng the propetty holders who object to the bulk assessment the case stated was framed with the city of Scranton as plaintiff and Henry T. Kuehler defendant. The statement as nrreed upon Is as follows: "Case state for the opinion of the can't. "The Dailies to this case stated by their attorneys ogreed to the following facts, to have the same force and effect .s thotisli actlpn had been duly bicimht, service made, the case put at Issue and the facts found as a special verdict for the opinion of tho 'court. "Kit st The city of Scrunton is a city of the third class nnd governed by that legislation applicable thereto since April 4. '1S77. "Second-On the 2d day of August. 1S, the city of Scranton passed an ordlnaive providing; for paving Mul berry street from Mitllln avenue to Prescotl avenue. A copy of said ordi nance Is hereto attached and made a part hereof. There Is also attached (i copy of the petition of the ubuttlns property owners who asked for the said uotlttnn. UNIFOUM ASSESSMENT. "Third Tho preliminary and final as sessment upon the abutting' owners alons tho line of said pnvlmr wen: made by the City Engineer by a uni form assessment, upon the ulmttlng feet front without any allowance for tho part paved with brick by tho street railway companies, or for the street Intersections. A cosy of said assess ment is hereto attached. "Fourth Mulberry street from Mif flin to Prescott avenue Is of a uniform width of ihlrU -four feet between curb lines and Is partly occupied by street railway tracks as shown by the blue map hereto attached. The portion of the street occupied 'by the street rail way companies, both between their rails nnd between their tracks, was paved by sail companies with brick, nt their own expense, this having been one of the conditions upon which they were allowed by the city to occupy the street On that portion of the street between Penn and Wyoming avenues the street railway company was also required to pave a space one foot wide on each side of Its track outside the outer rails nnd It did so pave at Its own expense. "Fifth The defendant Is an abut Inir owner on the line of said Improve ment, being the owner of a lot on the southeast corner of Mulberry street and Irving avenue, the portion abut ting on Mulberry street having a front age of 80 feet, in front of this lot the street railway company has a double track road, occupying between Its outer rails a space of fourteen and one fourth feet of the width of tho center of the street along the entire frontage of defendant's lot; which space was paved with brick by said company at Its own expense and with the approval bf the city of Scranton, before the asphalt under this contract was laid. AVKHACJR COST PEK YARD. "Sixth The total number of square yards of asphalt pave laid under this contract, a copy of which is hereto at tached, Is 17,L'S'.l.87 and the average cost per yard Is $1.03, which includes all the expenses claimed by the city to be assessable to the abutting' property owners. "Seventh Tho asphalt pave laid in front of defendant's lot by the city of Scranton under this contract Is a strip nine feet and nine Inches In width by eighty feet In length and containing Oil L'-S square yards. The assessment laid on defendant's said lot for the paving done under said contract Is JSj-'G; this result having been arrived at by taking the total cost of the asphalt pave laid under this contract and ap portioning It equally on the total abut ting frontage per foot without regard to the amount of pave nctually laid In front of each lot. On portions of the street where no street railway track Is laid there was laid by the city under this contract 151 1-0 squnre ynrds of asphalt opposite each bO feet of front age, but the assessment for the cost is the same ns laid against the lot of defendant, to wit., $:'SG. "Eighth If, under the facts herein set forth and the paper hereto at tached, which are made n part of this case, tho court shall be of opinion that the plaintiff Is entitled to jecelve and collect from defendant the sum of $L'SC a-? an assessment for said pavement, then judgment with costs to be entered against defendant for that sum. "Hut If tho court be of opinion that defendant Is only liable for the amount of pavement nctually laid by the city under this contiacf In front of his property, then Judgment to be entered for plaintiff fur $101.03 without costs. PAVING OF INTERSECTIONS. "If the court shall be of opinion that In addition to the asphult laid In front of defendant's lot he is also liable for a proportionate share of the cost of paving the intersections paved under this contract, then Judgment to be fil tered In favor of plaintiff for $185 with out costs. Either party to have the right to appeal to the Supreme or Supeilor court, and this caso to be heard at November Argument court, Dee. 13, 1897." In tho petition for paving It Is ex pllcltly set forth "that the .space be. tween tho car tracks, for which tho street car company shall pay, shall bo deducted from the assessments equally on both sides of said street." The objecting property holders claim It was understood that the properties which had tho Inconvenience of trucks In front of them, should derive the benefit resulting1 from the company he lnt; compelled to stand for the paving between them. That properties whlchj have no tracks In front of tlvem should receive as much benellt from tho Trac tion company's contribution as those wlio lmvo to put up with the annoy ance of cars and broken up pavements Is not Just or coultable. thc.v cnntnnii and they will try nnd show Unit It Is also not legal. Should the objector win It means a reduction of over SSO In tho ofscss tnent on every forty-foot lot that has a double truck In front of It. THE PASSINQ OP THE INDIAN. fiCcturo of Dr. Dixon nt tho Penn Avenno llnptlst Church. Probably the finest lllustrnted lec ture ever clven In Scranton wn that of last evening at Penn Avenue Bap tist church, delivered by tho pastor, Hcv. Joseph K. Dixon, D. D., on "The Pusslns of tho Indian." Much time and research has been spent on the subject matter of this lecture, nnd no expense has been spared In securing data and costly pic tures. Dr. Dixon recently visited Wash ington nnd devoted several days to a close study of curios and photographs, whose authenticity, no less than' their artistic value give them wonderful In terest. They were all exquisitely col ored and In many cases displayed tho loveliness of praise nnd mountain scen ery In brilliant reality. The lecture opened with a rapid rc lev of the discovery of America, de scribing the crippled vessel of the lit tle licet and noting tho fact that no Indian took advantage of tho disas ter for spoil or destruction of life. The famous picture of Columbus planting rho standard was shown In nil Its rich coloring. The speaker then referred to the vast dUslmllnrlty existing among the North American Indians, their two or three hundred languages and the supposition that all had sprung from one stock. Massasolt and tho French and In dian wars were brlelly noted, and a spirited picture of Indian warfare was shown. Tho one conspicuous exception to the constant carnage, nnd shinning like a utar In the night was William Penn, who made with them tho only treaty never sworn to and never brok en, The Quaker coat and hat proved a better protection than a coat of mail. A graphic description of .tho woeful life of an Indian woman under her hard task master was given. Among the series of pictures rapidly shown were many characteristic scenes of na tive life. General Crook, whom tho speaker designated as having "precipitated many wars In order that he might wear more stars." General Miles, who, he said had been fully as treacherous at times as the Indian, nnd noble Jack Custer were shown, as were many bloody battle scenes on the frontier. The llnal pictures given were burial scenes and customs. A poetically beautiful one being that of an Indian mother launching the tiny canoe con taining her dead little baby In his last voyage. The lecture was throughout one of Intense Interest, nnd It Is to be hoped that Dr. Dixon will repeat it to a far larger audience. It Is one which ev ery American child should sec.
