John Schuenk, of South Washington avenue, filed a bill In equity by his attorney, I. II. Bums, jesterday in Prothonolary Copelnnd's office for an Injunction to restrain the construction of the South "Wyoming avenue sewer until he shall be seemed for the dam age that may be done to his pioperty. Mr. Schwenk alleges that he Is the owner of a lot of land In tho Eleventh ward, bounded by the Lackawanna river and lands of the Delaware, Laek nwenna and Western company. The property lies between Locust and Elm streets, nnd would have been a part of Water street had that thoroughfare been prolonged Instead of stopping at Its present boundary. The line of the sewer ns laid out for tlje contt actors to follow goes right through this piece of ground, Mr. Schwenk declares, nnd early this week the contractors tore down his fence and entered on his property, but despite this Illegal entry the city, it Is alleged, has made no ar rangement or offer to becure him from the damage or loss that will be sure to follow Bi'i'h action. The court Is asked, therefore, to use Its testiatnlnc power against the city and the contractors In order to save the petitioner from the loss that threatens him. The land involved was formerly the enstern channel of the Lackawanna river, but Mr. Schwenk claims he Is Its- possessor, having had a claim to It for over twenty-one years. He seems will ing o cede the ground to the city If the authorities would see to It that Water street, or now South Wyoming avenue, would be run through the land as was the original Intention. Tho question now Involved came up when the viewers weie considering the ques tion of damages and profits, and It was thought that It was then settled until yesterday's pnxeedlngs were begun THE NEW T30ULEVABD.

WHEN THE SOLDIER BOYS COME HOME THEY ARE PROMISED A MOST FITTING RECEPTION. Executive Committee of Relief Asso ciation Doesn't Think It Too Early to Oo on Record In the Matter. Final. cjs of the Association Show Enough Funds for Relief Work for Some Time to Come Moro Supplies for tho Hospitals and tho Sick Will Bo Sent ns Needed. A trite suggestion and one ttlat met with rendy approval was made by Col onel E. H. Hippie nt the meeting of the executive committee of the Soldlets' Relief association yesterday afternoon. During a period of general discus sion ns to the piohabllltics of peace and the length of time the volunteeis would bt- letnlncd In service, Colonel Ripple tetnarked thnt the letuin of the regiment, whether a jenr or a month hence, should be marked by a recep tion of a kind that would give pro nounced evidence of the city's pride in Its lcglment. Something wns due them especlully from the fact that In past years tho city had been careless of Its obligation to the regiment. It was the opinion of the members of the committee present that tho cltj's gratitude to the Thliteenth's members should be none the less because- the command had not seen active service, as no one could gainsay the hope of eveiy man In it that he would get a chance to fight. It wns ngiced, though lnformnlly, that tho Relief nssoclatlon's executive committee should this early go on lecord as being anxious to ar range a proper reception when the time for It arrived. Some oiganlzatton would fill that olllce and the committee deemed it fitting to nbsume It, when the time conies, ns the representative organization of the kind In Scranton. MEMBERS PRESENT.
