THREE GIVEN HEARINGS.
Merchants Who Sold Adulterated
Food Beforo Alderman. Millar.
Two of Them Were Fined.
The cases of three of the merchants
charged with selllne; adulterated food
were heard before Alderman Millar
yesterday morning Tho cases of the
other three were adjourned until Aug.
11.
Those who nppearcd beforo tho alder
man yesterday were J. D. Ktocker aud
son, Mrs. Thomas TUch and Patrick
Kane, nil of Jermyn. Prof. Albert
Welles testified that he made a chemi
cal analysis of the food taken from
tho various stores. In cream of tar
tar taken from the stores of Mrs. Well
and Kane he found gypsum, a cheap
adulterant. A bottle of ketchup from
Mrs. Rich's stock contained salicylic
acid for perservlng and a coal tar de
rivative for coloring.
Vanilla extract taken from the Stork
cr stock was found to be the extract
of the tonka bean, a cheap article
somewhat similar to the vunllla bean.
Mrs. Rich and Kane offered no de
fense except that they bought and
sold the goods under tho impression
that they were pure. The Stockers,
however, claimed that when they learn
ed the quality of the vanilla In their
store was not good, they expressed
th"lr willingness to destroy It, but were
Instead arrested.
The alderman fined Mrs. Rich $100
nnd Knne $.10, giving them until Aug. 11
to pay the amount. Decision was re
served in the Stocker case.
FROM CHICAGO TO NEW YORK.
Through Trains Over the Nickel
Plate and West Shore.
The following Chicago dispatch was
received by The Tribune last night:
"A now through passenger line is to
bo established between Chicago and
New "York by the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western and the Nickel Plate
roads. Notwithstanding denials, it Is
learned that a close tratllc alliance has
been entered into between these two
companies, one of tho features of which
will be the establishment of through
passenger train service between tho
two cities
"The arrangement between tho Nick
el Plate and West Shore, by which
the former inn through sleeping cars
between th.i east and west will bo dis
continued. Tho new line covers a ter
ritory that has been untouched by
through service heretofore. To make
the new service uniform for the entire
distance the I-ackawanna will use
Wagner sleepeis Instead of Pullmans.
Fast trains will be put on as soon as
the details of the arrangements are
complete. The distance from Chlcapo
to New York by the now line is 913
miles."

THAT OLD F0RGD
INJUNCTION CASE
ARGUMENTS LISTENED TO BY
JUDGE GUNSTER.
Reasons Advanced by Attorney II.
M. Hannah Why the Franchlso Is
Illegal Reply of Major Evciott
Wnrrcu Judge Gunster Again Re
fuses to Grant an Injunction in tho
Smith Case Witnesses Examined
in the Election Contest Marriage
Licenses of a Day.
Judge F. W. Gunster in chambers
yesterday listened to arguments' In
the equity case of property owners of
Old Forge ugalnst the .Scranton and
Plttston Railway company. Testi
mony la the caite wan heard by the
Judge on Monday and Tuesday.
The object of the action is to re
strain the defendant company from
constructing a trolley road in Old
Forge, the allegation being that tho
franchise granted to the company by
the borough council Is illegal. The
argument for the property owners was
made by Attorney H. M. Hannah, of
this city, and Attorney J. T. McCol
lutn, of Troy, Rradford county. Major
Kverett Warren presented the case of
the defendant company.
Mr. Hannah opened the nrgumont.
He said tho Scranton Railway com
pany claimed to have a contract with
the Plttston and Scranton Hallway
company for the construction and op
eration of the road In question, but
had not produced It or shown any au
thority to proceed with the work. He
contended that the franchise Is void
for the reason that part of the route
Is over private property and that the
right to use It has not been secured.
Mr. Hannah argued that a street rail
way has no right to go on private prop
erty and decisions of the supremo
court say that a company cannot be
gin the construction of a road until It
has acquired the right to build the en
tire load, which, It Is alleged, has not
been done In this case.
It was also urged that the charter
of the company Is vague and Indefinite
and the description of tho proposed
route Imperfect nnd misleading.
Tho law requires a trolley company
to have an office at tho place where
its lines are located, but this company's
ofllce appears to be In the Hullrtt build
ing In Philadelphia. The resolution
making extensions of tho line lias not
been filed In the ofllce of the secretary
of the commonwealth, as required by
law, or if It has been tiled no evidence
of that fact was produced, Mr. Han
nah said Even If that resolution was
filed It would bo Illegal, for the reason
that it was passed at a meeting held
In the Uullett building In Philadelphia,
when It should have been passed as
a meeting held In the ollice of the com
pai ' where the road Is. A further ar
gument urged against the validity of
the franchise Is that Is war, secured
by corruption and bribery.
.Major Warren replied at length. He
denied the charges of corruption and
said the directors of the company had
passed the resolution authorizing tho
extension. The resolution was prop
erly filed and, he said, he will, furnish
a copy of it to the court. The com
pany has the right to diverge slightly
from the punllc road on private prop
erty and that Is all It is proposed to
do. The consent of the property own
er affected has been secured.
The closing arguments for the com
plainants was made by Attorney Mc
Collum. Nothing paitlcularly new
was advanced by him. Judge Gun
ster did not give any intimation as
to when he will hand down his opinion.
The Smith Case Again.
Another effort was made yesterday
by Attorney Cornelius Smith to secure
an Injunction to restrain the Scranton
Gas and Wnter company from shut
ting the water off from the properties
of his wife, Mrs. Margaret A. Smith.
The properties In question ate located
on Adams, Jefferson and Monroe ave
nues. Attorney Smith filed a petition In
which lie set forth that there Is a dis
pute between the water company and
Mrs. Smith concerning the amount of
the bill she owes for water furnished
for her properties. The water com
pany claims $2,767. no, but this is alleged
to be excessive and it Is further con
tended that more than one-half of it
Is barred by the statute of limitations.
The petition asks that an Issue be
framed to determine the amount of
money due the company aud pending
the disposition of this action that the
court restrain the water company from
cutting off tho supply of water. In
consequence of shutting of the water
four tenants have left the building and
the owner has sustained a loss of over
SCO per month.
Judge Gunster, to whom the petition
was presented, refused lo grant the
Injunction, but mude an order allowing
the application for an Issue to lie re
newed. The Langstaff Contest.

city were exnmined In the Langstaff

Dispute About Timber.
Allen W. Williams. Armlnda L. La
coo and John F. Lacoe, through Attor
ney S. U. Price, yesterday obtained a
preliminary Injunction to restrain Joint
F. Oicen, Thomas H. Spruks, Henry
J. Spruks, Stephen S. Spruks, Sterling
Euuis, Arthur Smith, Frank Smith
nnd Frederick Webber from cutting
timber on a certain tract of land in
Ransom township.
The complainants allege that al
though they have been the owners of
tho land for some time tho defendants
on June 20, 169?, broke down tho fenc.',
entered the enclosure and began to cut
down trees, thereby inflicting an Irre
parable Injury on the complainants.
Judge Gunster granted the prelimin
ary Injunction and made It returnable

LOCAL COMPANY'S PLAN.
American Mutual Indemnity Com
pany Believes in Settling Claims
in a Fair Manner.
Tho American Mutual Indemnity
company, of this city, is rapidly ex
tending Its business throughout the
country. Its business methods aie
radically different from those ut tho
average indemnity company In that
they deal fairly with the public, When
a person Is Injured on one of the roads
Insured with the company, If the claim
Is a Just one, Instead of lighting the
claim into tho court of last resort It
Is promptly and fairly settled. The
following from the Leader of Entl
Claire, Wis., shows the manner In
which claims growing out of a trolley
accident at that place were settled:
"A few days ago, Dr. II. H. Rock
well, of Scranton, Pa., adjuster for the
American Mutual Indemnity company,
of Scranton, arrived In the city, and
registered at the Eau Claire house.
Since his arrival ho has been rounding
up claims for damages against the
Chippewa Valley Kl?etrlc Railway
company, that company holding an
Indemnity policy with the American
Mutual. Yesterday he secured a set
tlement with Thomas Conley, of Chest
nut street. Conley on the ninrnlns of
June 10, was driving Kelley's lee
wagon nlong South Rarsto.v street,
opposite Wilson PaiK, when It was run
down by a trolley car.
"John McCanp, the Price street liv
eryman was on the box with Conley
when the crash came. The wagon,
which was full of ice at the time, was
badly wrecked. Conley was very badly
Injured, his left nrm and shoulder b--Ing
fractured. The amount paid Con
ley could not be learned for publica
tion. It Is also stated that Mr. Me
Cann, who received minor injuries n
the collision and J. J. Kelley, owner of
the wagon were settled with. This
coulu not he authenticated. Conley
was about to bring suit for heavy
damages against the company, and
with that end In view, hid retained
Messrs. Fleming & Ulum.
"The claim of the Widow Soley for
the loss of her cow, which had been
run down by an Inter-urban car, was
also settled.
"The claim of Mrs. Hugh Elliott, for
$15,000 for the loss of her arm: and Hie
claim of her husband, ex-Alderman
Hugh Elliott, for $.".000 for the loss of
his wife's services. Incident to the ac
cident, have not been settled, and .will,
In all probability, go to trial. Mrs. El
liott, It will be rememberej, lost her
arm In the collision between a trolley
car nnd a switching train, on the C,
M. & St. P. road. The accident, whieli
happened at the Intersection of Price
and Mill streets, It will bo remembcted,
occurred early last winter. Messrs.
Wlekham & Farr nre the attorneys for
Mr. aud Mrs. Elliott."
The Elliott claims last rehired to
weie settled on the day the above ar
ticle appeared in the Leader for Jl.O'H).
In view of the serious character of the
accident and the liability of the rreet
railway company for the accident, aid
considering the amount which juries
In the state of Wisconsin have awaid
ed for Injuries of a similar character.
It was believed the plaintiffs would
have secured a verdict of not less than
$10,000 and for that reason the settle
ment Is considered an excell nt one.
The following Is from a letter writ
ten by T. F. Frawley, attorney for the
Street Railway company at Kau Clair,
Introducing Dr. Rockwell to Hon. J.
W. Losey, attorney for the company
at La Crosse, Wis.: " am
pleased to say that In every instance
where we hae recommended it, Dr.
Rockwell has settled the cases prompt
ly nnd In some Instances when the
writer personally would have been
pleased to lick tho claimants the com
pany has also settled.
"Our relations have been so pleasant
and cordial with this company and the
bearer who represents It has handled
Its matters In such a prompt and
business like manner and has exer
cised such tare good judgment and
discretion that It is with great pleas
ure I give him this note of introduc
tion and commendation to you."
This uliown the esteem In which tho
company Is held In the business world.

SUPREME COURT ON
LOCAL LEGISLATION
OPINION THAT BEARS UPON
SCHOOL BOARD CASE.
Whcro There Is No Direct Classifica
tion of School Districts Such as
Thcro Is of Cities, Such Classifica
tion Indirectly Is Made to Exist.
Adherents of Present Board Claim
tho Ruling in tho Case in Question
Destroys the Arguments of the
Board of Six People.
Attorney D. ,1. Reedy, solicitor of tho
hoard of school control, Is In receipt
of u copy of the recently submitted
opinion of Justice Mitchell of the Su
premo court In the Warrior Run school
district case in which he claims the
Supreme court knocks the props from
under the main contention of those
who nrgue for the legality of the board
of six.
Tho appellee In the Warrior Run
case put forward the case of Chalfant
against KdwardR, 173 Pa., 24(1, In sup
port of tho contention that the act of
1SS7, upon which the appellants relied
was unconstitutional. Attorney t. II.
Durns in arguing for the board of six
also placed great reliance on that same,
case, to prove that the act under which
the board of twenty-one Is operating
was local or special legislation.
Justice Mitchell's discussion of the
Chalfant-Edwards case and the con
struction which ho puts upon It leads
Attorney Reedy to claim that the
board of six Is, now, minus its main
support.
Justice Mitchell's language In treat
ing of tills case is as follows:
LAXGUAGE OF OPINION.
"There Is nothing contrary to these
views in Chalfant vs. Edwards, 173
Pa. 246, so much relied on by appellee.
In that case a sub school district in
tho city of Pitt.'burg undertook to Issue
bonds which It was claimed would In
crease the debt of the whole district
beyond the legal limit. Pittsburg, for
school purposes, was under the local
act of 1S00, but the legislature of 1S95
repeoled'the act of 1SC9 and on the same
day passed another act for the regula
tion of schools In citlesi of the second
class.
"The court below on a taxpayer's bill,
declared the latter act unconstitutional
but sustained the former. The main
question in this court and the one on
which the Judgment was reversed was
the validity of the repealing act. It
was held that while the repeal of a
local act was not prohibited by section
7 of article 3 a a regulation of the
affairs of a reboot district, yet It was
local within the meaning of section 8
and required publication of notice in
the locality to be affected.
"On the other question the court be
low was allirmed on the ground that
the act of 1874 classified cities solely
with reference to strictly municipal
functions and schools, and schools un
der the general school law of IS'54 and
its supplements could not as yet be
considered a branch of the municipal
government.
"Much of what was said by our late
brother Williams on this subject was
by way of historical review of our
school system, rather than of discussion
of constitutional powers. Whether
some of the expressions did not go be
yond what the care galled for, and far
ther than can be ultimately sustained,
we need not now consider. The utmost
that the case can bo even claimed to bo
authority for Is not that the legisla
ture may not classify school districts
with reference to cities, hut that It has
not yet done so.
ETEXDEn COXSTDERATION.
"We have given this case more ex
tended consideration than usual, as was
due to the learned courts from whose
consideration we have been compelled
to differ. In conclusion It is not inap
propriate to direct attention to tho fact
that the net of 1SS7 lias been In opera
tion for twelve years, has been twice
previously before this court, and has
been the ground of action many times
before other courts without objection to
Its constitutionality. It Is rather late
now to question it. While thee cir
cumstances are not conclusive In its
favor, yet they are a strong argument
that it is not so plainly repugnant to
the constitution as It must be to re
quire a court to overturn an act of the
legislature.
"Judgment reversed and prorendo
In accordance with this opinion award
ed." In another part of the opinion Justice
Mitchell says: "It was thought by
the court below that the act was spe
cial because there were some school
districts In the state, those In town
ships and cities, which are not Includ
ed In Its provisions. The
fact of classification is a sufllclent an
swer to the objection. There is no
constitutional objection to the classifi
cation of school districts any more than
of cities. Doth are Included in the
same clause, piohlbltory of local and
special legislation, and there Is no ar
gument against classification of one
that Is not equally forcible against the
other.
"Hut classification may become as
necessary for school districts as for
cities. Tho needs and tho capabilities
of school districts may differ as sub
stantially, if not as widely, as those
of cities. It would be a most unfor
tunate clog on the Improvement of
our school system if Philadelphia,
Pittsburg. Allegheny and other cities
could not have their high schools,
their manual training or Industrial
schools, or even their kindergartens
without the necessity of imposing the
expose of a similar establishment on

vestment at New Orange, New
Jersey.
An acre of land In the heart of Xew
York city Is today worth from seven to
ten million dollnrs. Once It was worth
an English shilling. The average man
Is not gifted' with foresight. He waits
for the man of foresight to lead the
way, and so he gets the leavings. A
few years hence men will stand In the
busy streets of New Orange, on ground
worth hundreds of dollars per foot and
say, "I can remember when I could
buy a lot for $321." Thousands of men
have said the same thing In hundreds
of cities, but were not men of fore
sight nnd let the golden opportunity
pass. The early owners of land Ir the
great cities are the millionaires of those
cities today. Remember there is only
one New York In this country, and
New Orange lies In tight, only le
nities from It.
