Scranton, I'u Jan. 20, IS'jS.
Gentlemen of Councils: In answer to
your lcfiuett to cMimino and tcpoit on
the rourth illitilct main sewer, we do-t-lic
to state that wo have made a thor
ough examination ot salil sewer, fiom tho
outlet at tho Lackawanna tlver to the
Inlet on Poplar strett near Johnson's
mines, nnd luff leave to make the fol
low Ins report. We llnd considerable dirt
or debris In the sewer, located at dif
ferent places, for the ilrst one hundred
and sixty (lu)) feet lrom the outlit tho
faidlnioiit Is two (2) feet thick In places,
this Is caused partly on account of the
cidvert under the Delaware and Hudson
This Is cat scd p.tttlv on account ot the
sewer proper, and to the fact that tho
flow of tht tler nt low water Is on tho
west side of the river bed, thus leaving
a bar between the outlet nntl the How In
tho river, especially after all heavy Hoods,
This blockuKc at the outlet reduces tho
discharging cnimclty of tho sewer about
one fouith Ci)

works to n point under Pine sticct. there
Is qulto n little sediment: this Is due
to a slight pair In the- bottom, but this
Is not a serious obstiiutlou.
now is nnTAi!Dnt.
At Washington r.venue there Is also
tc-rnl cubic yaids of stones and debris
ol .til kinds, thus rttnidlng the How of
the sewerage at that point. All this sed
iment or debt Is should be eteantd out.
Then are stet,tl places whete the rlp
lap or bottom has been washed out and
should be rep.il ud to prevent further
damage.
The inch at ,i point ti shoit distance
west of Washington inuuio Is slightly
damaged nntl leepilres repaltlng There
has been Mime foity holes broken Into the
masonry fan.li nntl sidewalks) of this
sewer by prhato parties for the purpose
ol sewering, none of those holes bavo
been piopuly walled around tho sewer
pipes Oono of hleh extend Into the
sewer about IS Inches), thus leaving tho
masomj In n laggetl condition, these
should be lled. To priAent the accumu
lation of sediment, etc., at the outlet the
sewer pioper should be extended about
Sj or !t0 feet, and the How of water In
the river dlvetted trom the west to the
east side of the liver bed, so that tho
water would at all times. How by and
wash the tilth fiom the outlet.
Thu old arch oulvctt under Washing
ton avenue Is eight feet wide while tho
sewer above and below Is but four feet
wltle. Tho extra width lieie Is n detri
ment nnd retards the How of sewerage,
hence sediment and debt Is always accu
mulates u.t this point This should bo
nan owed to cotrespond in width with
the sewer pioper.
To prevent Inconvenience nnd damages.
caused by floods at Washington avenue
nnd Phelps street, wo would recommend
that thrco direct connections bo maelo
with the sewer nt Washington nvenue,
tis recommended by the city engineer to
your honorable bodies In the following
communication, dated Jan. Ii, 1S97:
COMMUNICATION OP A YEAR AGO.
Gentlemen of Councils: In nnswer to a
lesoltttlon of your honorable bodies di
recting the city engineer to Investigate
tho cause of the Hooding, during and fol
lowing showers, of the street and side
walks on Washington avenue, near tho
Fourth dlhttlet main sewer, I beg to le
port as follows: I llnd u water shed ly
ing east of said nvenue of about lOU
ncres, Improved .mil unimproved, all sew
ered. There are built on this water shed
seme 47 basins, should any or all of
these bo blocked, some or all of tho wat
er that Bhould be received by them flows
down to the point mentioned on Wash
ington avenue, nnd on account of the
inability of the present uriangements at
that point to convey the enormous flow
Into tho sewer, hence the eauso ot tho
flooding. Some of tho basins mentioned
nie covcieel with fiom two to three feet
of dirt, others especially through tho open
llclds cannot uceivo any, or their pro
portionate shine of the flow for the
reason that theio aie no gutters to con
vey the water to them.
I would lecommend as a partial lem
eily that tho two basins now built on
Washington avenue, near the said main
sewer, bo made direct connections by
taking out the traps, ulso that tho Pal
mer trui on tho west sldo of said uve
nuo, over the sewer, be taken out and
ii lurgo direct connection bo made on
east side of tho nvenuc All of these
improvements can bo mado for a sum
not to exceed $130, and should bo attended
to nt once.
I walked through the main sewer, from
Johnson's breakci to tho liver, and from
my experience I nssuie you that theio
will not bo any obnoxious stench car
ried out to the street on account of
these Improvements,
As a further leniedy pioperty owners
should bo compelled to pave tho gutters
In fiont of their respective proportions
us soon us possible, thus assisting to
convey tho water into tho basins, nnd
also prevent washing so much dirt into
and blocking up tho basins at every
fctorm. Very respectfully,
Joseph P. Phillips,
City Engineer.

P. S. As the tracks, or rails, ot tho
stieet car company nre between three
nnd four Inches below the pave at this
point, nnd It Is Impossible for the vvntct
to flow Into tho basin, from between tho
rails, tho company should be required to
make n connection, between tho rails,
with tho sewer at said point.
Theio Is now nil that territory between
Phelps street and Poplar street and the
Delawaie and Hudson railroad and Wash
ington avenue without any sewer, hence
all the- rain falling on that water shed
flows to a point on Phelps street, where
there Is but two street basins connected
with tho sewer. This Is more than those
two basins can, or ever were Intended
to, tnko care of; therefore wo would rec
ommend that sewers bo constructed as
shown on enclosed plan, or nt least tho
Wyoming avenuo line as fur as Ash
street. On this portion four street bas
,ln3 would bo constructed, which would
nislst very materially In taking care of
the flow of water from the above water
shed, and would very much releave the
two basins on Phelps street, and, In my
opinion, prevent any further cause for
complaint or damages.
Estimates have been made for Improve
ments nt tho Inlet of this sewer, but,
having learned that plans bavo been pre
1 arul, and that It Is the Intention of
the Dunmorc borough olllclals to con
stittct a sewer from our inlet, for the
use of said borough, the construction of
said Improvements are not recommended
at present.
This sewer, If taken care ot and prop
erly cleaned, will work well, and In capac
ity is more than huge enough to re
ceive) nnd convey the water or all heavy
rains falling on the water shed that
this was intended to accommodate; this
has been testified to In courts by prom
inent civil englneeis of this and other
cities, und as further proof wo leain that
the sower before mentioned proposed to
bo 1 ullt bv the boiough of Dunmoio will
have nn nun at our Inlet of 13 41-100

sponsible for opinions here expiessed.
Mr. Sanderson's Stntoment.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir:-Permit mo to take exceptions to
a little lupso your re potter was guilty
of In his report of my mllng on tho reso
lution awarding tho contract for tho
South Side sewer. Ho leports 1 informed
tho "Dtmouats." I deslto to emphati
cally disclaim any partisan bias In this
matter. 1 havo none. 1 Informed Mr.
Iloche, as his seat is nearest to the chair,
and tho Idea of doing It because ho was
11 Demociat was not In my mind. I do
not consider It a partisan matter, but
one which all should at least hopo lor
consummation. Tho ievvcr is n necessi
ty, tho only question being the money
tho city will have to pay and where to
get It without rushing through un un
constitutional nnd Illegal measure. I
also think a little unduo promlnanco was
given the section of the constitution I
lead. I read this simply to show iho
spit It of our fundamental law following.
as It does, sections which prohibit 11 mu
nicipality from Increasing Its debt be
yond a certain percentage without con
sent of the people.
Our general municipal act Is based on
theso sections and on this subject nio
even plainer. I intended no "Upper Cut,"
but simply to exerclbo tho duty of pre
venting tho select council trom dnin?
an unconstitutional and illegal act whlfh
by wav of ptuccdent alono seemed to mo
to bo fraught with grave danger to tho
finances of tho city. As a citizen and a
believer In tho necessity of bowers, 1
trust some way may bo found to ptovido
tho necessary money tho city will havo to
pay before tho sewer can bo built. I so
no way except by submission to the peo
pie. To fix it on tho general rovenuo
would bo disastrous to even more Im
portant demands.
Georgo Sanderson,
In Its report that President Sander
son told tho "leaders." Instead of tho
"leader" of select council of what was
coming. The Tribune mado a 'trivial er

to show that Mr. Sanderson wns perfect

uotcd him In this statement: "I wish It
understood that I mako this ruling Im
partially. I have, however, sought and
been guided by good legal counsel
." Keadeis of the report probably In
terpreted tho woid "upper-cut" In tho

A Itittlo r.ltornry Story.
"It may be true, and It may not," says
tho New York Sun, but tho story goes
that when Mrs. Frances Hodgson Uur
nett'B "Through One Administration"
was meandering Its way through tho
Century Magazine, sho eno elay appeared
In the editor's olMce with her last in
stallment of copy "Look here, Mrs Bur
nett," said tho editor, "you haven't ended
this thing happily, I hope. Because, if
jou have, It's absolutely fatal, you know.
The only thing ou can do with such a
set of characters is to kill 'em all off,
every one of 'em, right and left." "But,"
wild Mrs. Burnott, "that's Just what I've
done. I'vo ended it happily. "Then ou'l
havo to wrlto It over," said the editor,
"and kill 'em all off. I tell you, It's tho
only way to mako such a book popular."
So poor Mrs. Burnett had to go to work
and wrlto her last chapters all over again,
so that tho characters would be "killed
off," and the book become popular,

moved. "This woman," said Poor Director
Tcrppe, at the poor board meeting yes
terday, "Is not deserving." He referred
to a thinly-clad, pale-faced, middle
aged woman, who sat In tho applicant
chnlr. "She," continued Director
Terppe, speaking very distinctly, "Is
a woman who went to tho grocer, and
I saw the bill, and It lind on it some
items for ribbons. Now, I don't think
this board should buy ribbons for tho
poor."
"I move that tho case bo dismissed,"
remarked Director Brooks curtly. The
motion wns seconded and the woman
left the room, bestowing protests and
dangerous looks upon Director Terppe.
Sho was Mrs. Lena Woclkers, of South
Scranton. She was poor, she said; the
children are starving.
It Is said, however, that tho woman's
husband is out west and earning good
wages, of which he sends her a con
sistent part. But Mrs. Woelkers' fate
was not more severe than some of the
other twenty-five applicants yesterday.
It was a great meeting, typical of the
variety of sad stories told by the poor.
There was the case of Mrs. O'Malley,
an aged West Scranton woman, who
Is looking after five small orphans,
children" of her son John, who was
killed In the mines several years ago.
Tho oldest child Is 13 years of age.
APPLICATIONS DISMISSED.
Tho case was rcferreel to Director
Paine, with power to act. In contrast
to this was the application of Mrs.
Derby and Mis. Paine, of Dunmore,
two women who wanted to be exoner
ated from their property taxes. Both
weio well dressed, Mrs. Derby appear
ing partlculaily stylish. "My 17-year-old
boy works," said Mrs. Derby, "but
his Income Is not equal to tho lequire
ments of a boy of his age."
Sho admitted that she gets $G per
month In rent from property. Mrs.
Paine never took a chair. Sho stood
up and told the board that sho was
getting rent from four properties. That
settled It.
Both applications were dismissed.
Another applicant was John Grlillths,
a man who Is very hard of hearing.
He lives In Patagonia, and when ho
started to work at the Central, tho
mines, as If on purpose, shut clown.
His case was referred. Mis. Benjamin
Case was admitted to the Home.
Then camo Mrs. Angii, of South
Scranton. She spoke In German, Direc
tor Terppe acting as Interpreter, as ho
did In several cases yesterday. Her
case was thought to be undeserving.
"Why!" exclaimed Director Terppe, as
.the woman was dismissed, "If I would
listen to all the cases coming to me I
would spend more money than all tho
rest of the board together." Director
Terppe looked troubled.
OTHER CASES.
Theio weie twenty-five Just such
stories; over half were dismissed.
Mrs. Duggan, agent for the Board of
Associated charities, appeared and in
troduced the cases of Anthony Dacey,
the man who is now at police head
quarters In a semi-Insane condition,
due to a fall in a cellarway on Lacka
wanna avenue some weeks ago, and
Mrs. Reilly, wife of the convict whom
she married in the county Jail. Dacey
will be admitted to the Hillside Home;
Mrs. Relllv's case will be looked after
by Director Fuller.
The board empowered the home com
mittee to contract for the removal of
the barns at tho home.
In the fotepait of tho meeting Major
T. Frank Penman appeared and asked
that he be released from Collector W.
M. Finn's bond for the year 1S96. The
board's attorney, John F. Scragg, was
ordered to have the bond declared void.
Major Penman stated that his request
was actuated by a business considera
tion, ho having recently been appoint
ed collector of internal revenue in the
Twelfth Pennsylvania district. The
bonds for the board's officers, chosen
at the last meeting, were approved ns
follows:
John B. Van Bergen, tieasurer, for

NEW TRIAL REFUSED.
Judge Harold At. McClure Flics an
Opinion in the Famous
Hartley-Hull Case.
An opinion was yesteiday received
from Judge Harold M. McClure, of
Lewlsburg, discharging the rule for u
new trial In tho case of Silas Hartley
against John P. Hull and others, which'
was tiled before him in tho locnl court
of common pleas last November.
Tho suit Is for a Gl-acre tract of land
In Moscow, commonly known as the
Potter farm. Hartley claims it by di
rect purchase from his cousin, M. J.
Robinson. Tho defendants claim title
through a sheriff's sale, which they in
stituted themselves on the strength of
a Judgment for $0SI which they held
against Robinson.
The plalntllf held that lie bought the
lind ftom Roblnsor. before the note in
question was given. The defendants
alleged that the conveyance from Rob
inson to Hartley did not ante-date the
noti and that even if it did, it was a
fraudulent transaction.
The last trial was the sixth which
the t'ase has undergone. It was In
stituted in June 18SS, neaily ten yeais
ago and has been before tho courts
continuously ever since.
The case was flist referred to arbi
trators and in August an award was
mado in favor of the defendants. The
plalntift appealed and in a Jury trial
vThlch took place In April, 1S91, suc
ceeded in securing a reversal of the
awatd.
The defendants secuied a now trial
and in April, 1892, and a Jury gave a
verdict 4n their favor Then the plain
tiff secured u new trial and In the fol
lowing June tho case was heard, the
defendants winning for the second
time.
In January, 1894, the plaintiff secured
a rule for another new tilal but It was
discharged. Thereupon he took tho
case to the supreme court. There was
n hnrd fought battle before the upper
tribunal but it refused to disturb the
verdict.
The last trial is what is known as a
second suit in ejectment, the law in
this state requiring that two successive
suits in ejectment mubt be won to per
fect a title claimed under a sheriff's
sale. Usually the second suit is a mere
formality, but In this instance Hartley
chose to ofler opposition and a trial
was necessitated. Jessup & Jessup
are Hartley's attorneys, and Hon. W.
AV. Watson and C. B. Gardner appear
ed for the defendants.
Forty reasons were assigned for a
new trial, most of them being allega
tions of error in tho matter of the ad
mission of testimony. Judge McCluro
dismisses nil the exceptions, giving
reasons therefor, and concluded the
lerigthy opinion with the following
comment: "His (Hartley's) case i? of
such a character and the circumstances
lean so strongly against him that It Is
moie than doubtful If another jurv,
with the rersuaslvo evidence of a for
mer veullct and Judgment, will do any
different from this one. The
Intel ests of both parlies will be best
subserved by a speedy end to this pro
longed coi.test."
Unless the plaintiff can secure the
Intel ventlfin of the supreme court tho
defendant's title w 111 be declared per
fected. The value ot the land In dispute Is
variously estimated nt from $1,G00 to
$1,000. The costs of litigation exceed
tho highest value placd on the prop
