tho oxaspeinted residents of l'lielps

the sufferings tho Phelps stieet prop
erty owners are lomptllcd to endure
Yesterdaj tho men whose properties
were Hooded Thursday night weio en
gaged In scouting theni and putting
them Into presentable shape again. A
sotrj-, disagreeable task It was. Watei
had to be balled out of basements and
then fcoveral Inches of mud with tho
consistency of glue must neeessarilj
lie sei aped and washed off walls and
Moors It was a dllllcult task to ic
movo the effects of the Hood and it Is
small wonder the eanpetated ptopotty
owners gao full ent to their feel
ings Almost each succeeding J ear thej
hno boon annoyed and lnjmed by
Hoods of gi eater or less proportions
nnd jet adequate relief beems to be
s-omo distance nwny. Councilman Gll
rnj lslted the Hooded district Thuis
dty night and when tho propeity own
ers protested against the public policy
that permitted such an occurrence, tho
city fathei advised them to sue the
cltj
"Make them settle; sue them at once
nnd ask enough: that's what I would
do " said the councilman
'That's what jou did do," replied
one of the ptopertj- owner", to whom
this advice brought little comlort.
GAHDHNS DAMAC1UD.
Aside from the damage done to build
ings, ninny of the gardens back of the
houses had the rich top surface washul
away and the growing crops lulned
Good-sized hills of damages will hae
to bo paid bj the cltj to these injuted
propei tj owners Peinianent relief
from tho nnnojance is what they just
ly demand, however.
Tho Fouith dittlct main sower lias
been a constnnt soutcc of damage blme
It was constructed Within the last
few jears councils would pi nimbly have
projected legislation to greatly dimin
ish tho possibility of such damngo as
that w rought by Thursday night s
storm but for the lack of taet show n
by the common councilman from the
ward.
Tor fcevcral yeaii Mr. Gllroy Ins de
voted hlmelf with great energy to
two things: Securing tho payment of
the damage claims resulting from the
grading of New street and funds for
the opening of Wjoming avenue To
obtain the latter especially he has an
tagonized all forms of public Improve
ments In nil patts of tho city and
stated on the floor of the council that
lie would attempt to defeat anj' propo
sition that did not provide funds for
the Wyoming av enup improvement
The death of one of the viaduct ordi
nances is duo Inigolv to his effoits
and since then the West Side count II
men have been airajed solidly against
him. To s ty in councils that a meas
ure Is fathered by Gtlioy Is usuallj
sufficient to secure Its eailj and vio
lent death
ITr.M CUT OUT.
When nn effort was made b' him to

and stieet commissioner nssuilng the
estimates committee that so much
monej was absolutely needed to make
Improvements wheie the sower passts
under Washington avenue.
The committee nlso gave much
weight to the urglngs of Select Coun
cilman Hoc he, of tho watd, who vlgot
ously protested against leaving the
sewer in the shape it was In. Tin
work of making lepalrs Is now In pio
grrss and was not damaged, by the
freshet of Thursday night.
The propertj' ownets of Phelps street
foel that they have suffered quite
enough and nie discussing the advisa
bility of appointing a committee to lay
their grievances before councils and
ask for Immediate and permanent io
llef. Hut Thursdaj night's storm did oth
er damage. It washed down the sltlis
of the North Main avenue lining at
tho Mount Pleasunt lavlno and cieat
ed a new expense item of sever al hun
dttd dollars The dirt was washed
from beneath tho sidewalk on the east
side of the nvenuo nnd Into the sowei

On the west side of the Stafford
Meadow brook culveit, which inns be
neath Plttston avenue, a 20-Inch iron
pipe, leading from the street catch
basin to the culvert channel, was brok
en by the foice of water nnd eliit. The
filling beneath the sidewalk was
washed away or into the btoken pipe
A" big expense is involved in making
repairs nt this point.
Near tho northern terminus of North
Washington nvenuo tho culvert be
neath that thoroughfare near Hlectrle
nvenuo became blocked. In a few min
utes a small lake of from flvo to ten
feet In depth was formed The wnter
overflowed the dam made by Wash

havoc before It found Its way via the

Everything connected with tho down
pour considered tho cause of tho dis
order nnd the consequent damage can
be attributed largely to tho violence
and unusual naturo of tho storm
A largo force of company hands
wero nt vvoik all day yesterday clear
ing up tho debris and mud washed
down from tho fields upon tho Illooms
burg tracks of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western railroad by the
storm. Tho low or boiler room of tho
Bellevuo colliery, which was flooded,
was also cleared out and tho supply
shaft freed of its extra depth of wator
in tho sump.
Outsldo Superintendent B. C. Qreen
was In charge nnd Incidentally did a
little pumping out of his own cellar,
which contained two feet of water,
mud and clndeis. I'or a time It looked
ns It everything would bo wnslied

CULVlUtTS HLOCKRD.
The two big culverts one above tho
other below tho brenker became block
ed by tho sudden and heavy rush of
water fiom the hillside und a flood re
sulted. lto-ballastlng of the south
bound tracks of this division was In
pi ogress, und tho water thus got n bet
ter hold. No trains woto dclajed.
The most lelloving fenturo of tho
flood thereabouts Is the chance to go
fishing within a block of your dooi.

Tin nop, who later became one of tho

from a household containing father,
mother and flvo children but one, Mrs.
Mnry Phelps, nnd a joung grandson,

JUNCTION. Tho Clark & Snovcr Tobacco Co ,
by its attorneys, Willard, Warren &
Knnpp, began nn equity suit yester
day In Prothonotnry Copeland's office
against Jnmes J. Scott nnd Michael
A. Clark, trading as Clark & Scott, a
new tobacco Arm recently stnrted, to
restrain them from using a blue w tap
per bearing the name "Clark & Scott,
Stripped Smoking, Scranton, Pa," with
the device of an eagle and tho sitting
figures of an Indian smoking and n
man in the act of taking snuff, tho en
tiro wrapper, label and devlco being
similar to and alleged to be an Imita
tion of tho w rapper, device and label
of tho plaintiff.
Also that the defendants may be re
quired to answer under oath as to the
number of packages of tobacco they
have put up and sold in imitation of
the pi ilntlff's package s, nnd that an
nccount mny be taken of tho profits
arising upon the same, and tho defend
ants decreed to paj such sum as they
have gained by leason of the alleged
fraudulent imitation.
Judge Hdwntds gt .anted a prelimin
ary injunction to icstrnln the defend
ants from using the wiappets com
plained of and fixed next Wednesdaj
morning, May 23, as tho date for a
hearing.
IS A CORPORATION.
The plaintiff recites that the Clark &
Snovcr Co Is a corporation organised
and existing under tho laws of tho
state, having been incorpoiated bj let
ters patent, bearing the date of May
G, 1891, and is engaged in the manufac
ture and .sale of tobacco.
Clark & Snovcr In 1S74, ndopted the
device or tradesmark in question. Since
the device and wrapper was ndopted,
the pluintlff claims to have spent large
sums of money in ndvei Using and In
troducing Its product, .and that tho
high quality of tobacco used and the
great caio in Us manufacture won for
It a gieat reputation and sale.
It is alleged that In 1S77 James J
Scott, one of the defendants, entered
the employ of tho plaintiff and con
tinued so for eight jears. Again in 1SS9
he entered their emploj- and remained
for some time. And again in 1S92 he
enme to them nnd remained until Teb
ruarj 1S9S. During all these j-ears ho
occupied several different stations as
boy and man nnd latterly he operat
ed a cutting machine, and part of the
time he was overseer in one of tho
stripping rooms.
SIR. SCOTT r.ESIGNED.
Some time in February, ISIS, Mr.
Scott wrote a letter to tho plaintiff
tendering his resignation to take ef
fect In Mnrch, and early In March
tho defendant companj began putting
its product on the market, its p.ack
ages being the same sUe and weight
nnd the wrappers and devlco similar
to the plaintiff's.
Tho style of package tho wrapper
and pictorial device, and tho wording
on the pneknge are so closelj alike
the packages of the plaintiff that a
careful Inspection is necessary to dis
cern the difference. It is alleged that
the defendant company has refused to
discontinue the imitation of tho plain
tiff's wrapper, and that In continuing,
the business of the latter is greatly
damaged and injuieel.

She had grabbed an object that pro
ttuded from the side of tho cistern
nnd kept her head ubovo watei ntll

which had been torn up and the trap
door raised.
Mrs. Weber has a husband and sev
