ANOTHER ATTEMPT
TO HALT REPAIRS
PROCEEDING INSTITUTED
ESTOP THE CONTRACT.
TO
Petition Filed by Mr. Comegys to
Prevent the City Contioller, tho
Bather Asphalt Company and tho
City of Scranton i'tom Pioceodlng
Under tho Asphalt Repair Ordin
nnce The Ordinance and Contract
Are Alleged to Bo Illegal for a
Multitude of Reasons,
Cornelius Comegys, attorney for City
Controller Howell and tho Alcatiaz
Paving company, yesterday prosentiHl
a tietltlon to Judge Otinstev for nn In
junction testrnlning City Controller
Howell, the Barber Asphalt company
nnd the city of Scranton from taking
nny further action under the asphalt
repair ordinance. II, Campbell nnd
William Karrell. of the West Side, aio
named as petitioners. Tho body of the
petition is typewritten; tho names of
the petitioners aio Inserted with a pen.
After reviewing the legislation nnd
litigation in the ense up tn date, the
Petition goes on to show that the con
tract is Illegal because the Raiber bid
did not follow the language of the or
dinance or the published notice calling
for proposals: the resolution awarding
tho contiact attempted to repeal and
modify the ordinance: the Raiber bid
did not conform to thp specifications;
the much confusion and uncertainty
was produced among nil active nnu
poslblo bidders by the discrepancies
nnd differences existing hctween the
terms of the ordinance, the published
notice and the specifications; the or
dlnniiee originated with the Barber
Asphalt company and was prepaied,
passed and approved in their Interest
fraudulently and by the action of coun
ellmen and others dliectly nnd unlaw
fully interested by business lclations
or through the actual lecelpt of money.
TERM OF TIIR CONTRACT.
The ordlnnnee Is unieasonable, un
lawful and void, it is f uithcr alleged,
because it Is not within the power ot
a city of the third class to provide by
ordinance, or otherwise, for the repair
of the public streets, by a pi hate con
tractor, for a peilod of ten years, and
th it It attempted to confide to the judg
ment and Integrity of the Barber com
piny and the city engineer tho power
lo determine when and vvheie and to
what extent new concrete Is neecssarv,
a delegation or authority by the
municipal government not only dan
gerous, but beyond its power as well.
The thtee-yeai lepalr-of-re pairs con
tract w 1th the Rarbei company. It Is
claimed, piohiblts that company from
becoming a bidder for the repair .of
pavements hoc iue a largo petition of
the stteets to be pived Is coveied by
the lopair-of-repaiis contract
Other reasons aio:
"The ordinance provided for the be
ginning of the tepalr vvoik prior to
May 1, 1811, and tho lapse of time has
rendered the contract impossible of ful
fillment. "For some leason, on January 27, 119.
another contiact was ontetecl into and
this was lost, or was said to have been
lost, and was not in the proper custody
nnd control of the municipal author
ities until Mav 15, 15.19 when it was
piesented by tho attorney of the Bat
her company for ceitlfication.
NO APPROPRIATION MADE.
"No nppioprlation existed on Janu
ary 27, lS9'i, to meet the demands of
the contiact: nor does theie appear In
Its teinis anv designation of the item
of appiopiiation upon which It Is
founded.
"The oidliiance as a whole was never
pilnted foi the uso of the members, nor
lefeiied te any committee befoip Its
final passage, the spei ideations having
been kept in the office of the city en
gineer or city clerk, 'uneen and un
load,' as youi oiator Is Informed and
believes, by the gieat majenlty of thoso
whose votes and slgn.ituies wore nee
essaiy to dispoe of other people's
money.'
"No bond has been given by the Bar
ber company to secuio the proper pei
fenmance of the teims of said last exe
cuted contiact; and theie has been no
sufficient appiopiiation to meet the te
eiuliements of said contract.
"A thlid-class city can not make a
ten-J car contract such as the ordlnanco
contemplate"."
Judge Gunster fixed Saturday next at
9 o'clock a. m. as the time for hearing
arguments.
Most of these allegations were con
tained In the petition in the previous
suit instituted ngnlnst tho Rarlier com
pany by R. Motrls. The charge that
the contract oilglnated with the Bar
ber company and was fraudulently se
cured was not even mentioned by the
Plaintiffs when the case came up for
nigument.
Common Pleas Court.
A case of an unusual chaiacter was
called befoto Judge Gunster Just previ
ous to adjournment jesterday aftei
noon. It involves the ciuestion of
whether or not a mei chant Is respon
sible for the safety of his customers
while they cue In his stoie
11. P Eoweiy. of Staten Island, is
the plaintiff and Mis. Hannah Diieson
the defendant. In December, lSOj.whlle
here on a visit to his brother, Cl.uk
Low cry. tho plaintiff went Into the
Diieson stole to nutchase a suit ot
clothes. He selected the gin meats that
suited his taste and was shown Into a
small room In the lenr of the stoie to
ti y them on The Hooting, It appears,
had lieen n moved tioni a portion of
the room during somo altoritlons that
had been made to the storeioom Just
previously, and stepping Into the open
ing. Mr. Eovveiy fell Into the eellui, a
distance of twelve feet, sustaining per
manent injuiles, so it Is alleged.
There Is a. Supreme court decision
making a storekeeper responsible for
the loss of a pocketbook left on th-
counter by a customer, and seveial
other xullngs of u like xiatuie, but theie
is nothing in the book In u dhect line
with tho cdso nt bar. What the de
fence will be is not disclosed, but con
tributory negllgeiuft will likely be its
main feature. The outcome will be
watched with lnteieat.

petitioned Judge Gtimtei for a rule for
the removal of V, II. Shuitleff as ad
ministrator ot the estate of J B Fnr
rles, on the ground that nil the debts
of tho estate hnve been paid and that
the heirs are now all of age
The purpoun of the petition, he stated,
was to secure to the heirs coal royal
ties from the Delaware and Hudson
company which tho administrator con
tinues to collect, despite tho fact that
the debts are llatildaled
Mr. Shurtleff opposed the petition
nnd denounced the proceedings as an
outrage. lie alleges that he paid out
of his own pocket debts against tho
estate to the amount of $1,100 under
an agreement with Mrs. Furrles, now
Mis. Kdgnr, that she would reimburse
him. Thpestate.heclnlms.stlll owes him
nearly $1,000. Mr, Noweomb replied to
this by stating that the estate was
pieparcd to resist this claim.
There Is alrondy a citation pending

he should not bo discharged. This pro

Within a month or two the changes
