WILL MAKE A FIGHT.
North Main Avenue Property Owners
Aro Determined to Have a
Pave Committees Named.
North End propcity owners along
tho lino of tho proposed Providence
road and North Main avenue pave
ment do not propose to allow the ef
forts In court to halt the Improve
ment to be successful. At a meeting
ot tho property owners held last night
In company H armory it was decided
to omploy ntsoclalo counsel to act
with City Solicitor McGlnley In oppos
ing tho equity proceedings Instituted
by property owners between Wood
nnd Jones streets who explain their
position by saying they want a sewer
laid llrst.
A committee with power to employ
counsel was nppolnted nnd nnother
committee was named to procure the
necessary funds. A bill In equity has
been Hied In behalf of the fewerltes.
It must bo nnswercd on or before Sat
urday. Meanwhile nn injunction has
been nrked because the work has not
boon started by the contractor, George
McDonald.
A comprehensive idea of the situa
tion may be learned from the remarks
of M. II. Dale who attended last night's
meeting. He Is secretary and general
sales ugent of the Scranton Vitrified
Briek company, whoso brick is to be
used on tho work. He attended the
meeting only as one Interested In the
outcome of the legal proceedings but
was called upon to speak.
From Mr. Dale's remarks It was
gathered that the contractor nnd the
brick company hnd executed their con
tract for brick. The company has on
hand 2,000,000 brick to bo used in the
work und has obtained the necessary
dies and is arranging to mnke the pe
culiarly shaped brick which will He
nest to tho rail. Tho latter prepar
ation has involved no little expense.
Mr. Dale understands that the con
tractor is to immediately begin opera
tions perhaps today In order to de
termine the effect of the Injunction
proceedings. It is a matter of vital
importance for the contractor to know
whether the bonds to be Issued In pay
ment for the work will be good and
marketable before he goes to more
than a nominal expense. It would
hardly be pofslble to pave more than
the distance between Green Rldgo
street nnd the square before cold
weather, Mr. Dale thought. Concrete
cannot be laid after the searon of frost
begins.
It was further stated that the Scran
ton Railway company had purchased
the special type of rail tho use of
which Is necessary in the new method
of track construction to be followed.
When Major J. B. Fish called tho
meeting to order about fifty persons
were present. M. E. Saunders, a dis
interested resident of the North End,
was mado chairman on motion of Wil
liam Chappell. Attorney A. A. Vos
burg was Inter made secretary.
In response to Chairman Saunders'
request for Information as to the ob
ject of the meeting, Major Fish said
It had been suggested by the proceed
ings Instituted by the property owners
between Jones nnd AVood streets who
opposed the laying of a pavement be
tween those two streets before n sewer
had been laid. The grounds for the
suit were based on alleged faulty con
struction of the ordinance und Its Ir
regular passage by councils.
Select Councllmnn Finn, in answer
to n question by Chairman Saunders,
said the ordinance, In his opinion, had
been legally passed.
A motion that the chairman appoint
a committee of three with power to
employ associate counsel to aid tho
tlty solicitor In tho present litigation
nnd to nld in every way possible a
quick disposition of the ense, was of
fered by Major Fish and adopted.
Chairman Saunders nppolnted William
Chnppel, Walter B. Christmas and Pat
rick P. Jordon. Later two others. D.
B. Atherton and Edward Roderick,
were added to tho committee on mo
tion thnt it consist of five members.
The first bit of applause followed
some lively comment by D. B. Ather
ton. He said the North End had stood
still for thirty years; It was standing
still now, and would do so If the peo
ple continued willing to live nny long
er along a thoroughfare of filth. They
had the opportunity to got their main
street paved and f they did not light
for it they deserved to live In filth
forever.
A financial committee of three, Major
Fish, Charles Ilenwood nnd C. H. Von
Storch, wns nppolnted to procure funds
for employing counsel,
A motion presented by Rev. George
K. Guild, thnt the North End council
men bo directed to Introduce a now
ordinance, If an Injunction Is mado
permanent, was adopted.

IT IS BRANCHING
OUT VERY RAPIDLY
GRATIFYING GROWTn OF A LO
CAL INSURANCE COMPANY.
American Mutual Indemnity Com
pany Ucgan Business a Year Ago
and Is Now Far Beyond tho Expert,
mental Stage Arrangements Havo
Beon Made to Thoioughly Organ
isa This and Other States That
Peoplo Genorally May Havo tho
Benefit of tho Insurance.
A good Illustration of the growing
importance of Scranton in tho business
world Is riven by the American
Mutual Indemnity company which
was orRurilsfd by business men
of this city a little over ti
year ago. Tho company was chor
ionic! under tho laws of Pennsylvania
to do a general casualty Insurance bus
iness and on September 1, 1S97, with
out any fuss or blare of horns, begun
business In a modest suite of rooms In
tho Traders' National bank building.
It was tho Intention of tho company
to ctvo insurance at the lowest possi
ble rate and nt the same time guaran
tee absolute safety to the insured nnd
to settle claims promptly and fairly
and only to resort to litigation when
absolutely compelled to do mi. This
poll :y bus been strictly adhered to und
us a logical result tho business of tho
company Is growing nnd expanding
inside und outside of the state with
great rapidity.
As nn example of tho promptness
with which the claims of the company
are settled one case may be cited, l'ho
company Insures a tltlca trolley com
pany ngalnst loss from uccidents on
its road. Recently two trolley cars
went through a bridge Into a canul
and thirty persons were Injured, ono
fatally. An adjustor wns sent to Utlea
Immediately and within live days
every case, in which damages were
claimed from the trolley company ns
u result of this nccldent, were settled.
Long nnd expensive litigation for the
company and those injured was avoid
ed. GHATIFYING SUCCESS.
Although the company litis been do
ing business only the short space of
one year Its success has been most
gratifying to those interested In It.
It hns made tho necessary arrange
ments with the insurance departments
of Tennessee and Georgia to do busi
ness In these states and proposes to
Invade other states In the near future.
Tho company's charter enables It to
do business In Pennsylvania but be
fore soliciting business In other states
tli rules of the Insurance departments
of such stat?s must be conformed to.
There is nothing to prevent a person
living in nnother state from sending
business to the local company, but be
fore the latter can go Into cnother
state to look for business the Insurance
department must approve the com
pany nnd the guarantee deposit which
it makes.
With a view to keeping apace with
tho substantial growth of the com
pany which has $i0,U00 In assets and
all claims paid, to show for Its first
year's business, tbe company has se
cured the services of W. C. Teter who
has been engaged In the Insurance
business In the south and in the west.
He will be the special agent of the
company and nfter thoroughly organ
izing the stuto of Pennsylvania and
establishing local agencies he will do
a similar work In other states. Those
who are interested In the now com
pany are confident that the expansion
nnd development during the next few
yeaiM will be mnrvelout und make
Scrnnton known far and wldo and be
of material assistance also from the
fact that It Is the homo olllce of the
company.
