Olyphant's much talkcd-of sower squabble Is now before court. It wns presented yesterday In the case of the Olyphant Sewage-Drainage company ngnlnst the Horough of Olyphant and Hurgess H'. J. McNulty. Hon. II. A. Knnpp nnd Hon. C. P. O'Malley. of Willnrd, Warren & Knnpp, represent the plaintiff. Hon. John P. Kelly, of O'Hrlcn & Kelly, und Frank M. Lynch, tho borough solicitor, nppeared for the defense. The company seeks to restrain Hur gess McNulty from interfering with it's work of constructing u sewer system in the borough. The company wns chartered in 1S0G to conduct a sewage-drainage concern In Olyphant nnd In the same year re ceived from the borough council a fran chise to lay sewer pipes throughout tho borough, wherever they saw tit. Under the charter the sewer was to be commenced within two years nnd finished in five. Owing to financial difficulties the company failed to start excavating until after five years had elapsed. Then Ilurgess McNulty stopped the work, alleging that the company's rights had lapsed. The company Is trying to show by testimony that tho work was com menced within two years; that sur veys were made and plans perfected for the construction work nil within the two-year limit. In answer to the allegation that tho charter has lapsed because the work was not completed within five year's the company says that It Is optional with the state to cancel charters and In this case evidence that no cancellation occurred Is found In the fact that since the expiration of the five years tha state accepted from the company a $300 fee, which fee was attendant upon the raising of tho capital stock. Since tho time, when according to the defendants the company's rights ceased, the borough, Itself, has constructed a sewer system In a portion of the town, and in another equity suit, C. P. O'Mal ley nnd others, Is endeavoring to pre vent tho borough from paying the con tractors, alleging that tho work was dono under a defective ordinance. The case if Finn against Carter was concluded at noon yesterday. Ueforo hearing the arguments, Judge Edwards went to Capouso to see for himself the condition of the river at that point. Arguments in the "Loop" Case. Judge Gunster yesterday morning heard tho arguments in tho case of the city against the Scranton Railway com- pany, commonly known as the "loop" case. City Solicitor A. A. Vosburg represented the cltyand Major Everett Warren the companS'. Mr. Vosburg laid special stress upon the claim that the city accepted the streets In question by constructing a sewer on one and putting catch basins on tho other, and that when a city accepts a street the thoroughfare comes to it free from all burdens, which, ac cording to Mr. Vosburg, abrogates the rights that the railway company al leges came to It from the Lackawanna Iron nnd Coal company. Major Warren denied that the streets camo to the city simply by tho act of permitting a sewer to bo construct ed there. It was arrant nonsense, he said. He also called to attention to the fact that the city stood by and permitted the company to do $7,000 worth of grading on the streets. Water Company Is Sued. Kugene II. Hutchlns, of Mnydeld, by his father, George Hutchfru, brought suit yesterday to recover $5,000 from the Consolidated Water company of Carbondale. At S.30 one evening last Mny he was driving to Carbon dale with two ladle3 and just at tho city line his carriage went Into an un protected trench excavated by the water company, throwing out the three occupants. Young Hutchlns suffered a broken collar bone and other Injuries. One of the ladles, Miss Qulnn, sustained a broken arm. Hutchlns' attorneys are Comegys & Bevan. Eloction Contest.

Patriarchy Militant with a Drum Corps Gave Him Housing Greeting and Escorted Him to His Homo on Fonn Avenue Neighbors Welcome Him and an Informal Lovee Marks His Arrival at His Drug Store. Another Klondiker Who Met Vet tcr Also Returned Yesterday. Philip J. Vetter, who was at one time belloved to have perished In fnr off Alaska, and whose home-coming was looked upon by many ns almost 11 return from the grave, arrived In this city last evening and was received with a remarkable outburst of popular enthusiasm. By one of those strange whims of fato which aro fo often met with when least expected another trav eler from tho Klondike, who bad met Mr. Vetter and Mrs. Bens In the frozen north, also arrived In the city yester day, In the person ot Edward F. Mack, who Is visiting his brother on Taylor nvenue. Long before 8.10 o'clock, the time when tho train on which Mr. Vetter came from Blrighamton, was duo to ar rive, a large throng of people had gathered in and around the Lackawan na station. About fifty members of Canton Scranton, Patriarch's Mili tant, of which lie Is a member, were present In full uniform, together with tho Nny Aug Drum corps. Tho canton was In command of Colonel W. C. Cowles, Major General Kdward C. Deans, commander of the Patriarch's Militant, Department of Pennsylvania, nnd the following members of his staff were also present: Lieutenant Col onel George W. Sklllhnrn, assistant adjutant general; Lieutenant Colonel E. T. Davie, assistant commissary general. The members of the conclave and the drum co.ps were lined up on tho platform Just before the train arrived, By this time it had become a solid mass of packed humanity. Theic were a few, of courre, who were there from a mere Idle curiosity prompted by a deslrp to see a man who had gone through experiences which It falls to the lot of but few to undergo, but the large majority were friends who were there to welcome back a friend mourn ed as ono dead. CROWD OF S00 PEOPLE. A conservative estimate of the num ber on the platform would be S00. As the train rolled in, a hush fell over tho assemblage, which was only broken as the form of Mr. Vetter was noticed on the rear platform, when the drum corps struck up "Home, Sweet Home" and a loud cheer was sent up. His son, Philip Vetter, Jr., and little daughter, Mary, were waiting at tho foot of the steps and they were the first to greet him. The little girl be came so overcome at seeing her father once ngnln that she burst Into tears, It seemed as if everyone on tho plat form wished to grasp his hand at the same time and ho was almost com pletely engulfed by the crowd which surged about him, An aisle was formed with dllllculty by several chevaliers of tho order and he and his wife, who ac companied him, were escorted to the plaza In front of the station, where a carriage was In waiting, The conclave formed In line and, pre ceded by the drum corps and followed by the carriage containing Mr. and Mrs. Vetter and children and another containing General Deans and staff, marched to the Vetter home at 415 Penn avenue. The streets were lined all the way, and Mr. Vetter was re peatedly obliged to doff his hat In re sponse to greetings from friends. A number of personal friends and neighbors wero gathered In the drug store upon his arrival there and ho was compelled to hold a sort of Informal levee. The members of the conclave all passed In nnd shook hands with him. each extending a word ot welcome. There wero several beautiful bouquets presented to him, also. GAINED IN WEIGHT. He has gained quite a good deal In weight rfand his face and hands are brown as a nut from exposure to the elements. He vvalk3 with a percept ible limp, tho remains of tho severe attack ot scurvy from whleh he suf fered. While he appears not only healthy, but absolutely rugged there Is an undercurrent of Intense nervous nctlon which cannot fall the eye of a close observer. While ho would not say much last evening, by advice of his friends, who feared a nervous re-action from the excitement, be did say that he was feeling very well and that he was fully determined to go back again next spring, if the objections of his family could be over-ruled. The committee of Odd Fellows who have tho arrangements for a reception to Mr. Vetter In charge will meet to morrow evening to complete the pre parations. -" X Our New Line X t ran roorwear..

When It was taken Mr. Vetter was lying In a tent In the bow end too 111 to, lift his head. THE OTHER KLONDIKER. The other Alaskan adventurer within the city Is A. F. Mack, who Is visiting his brother, Joseph S. Mack, cashier at the Sauquott silk mills. Mr. Mack was born and brought up nt Mt. Cobb, but Is now Interested with several brothers in tho carriage busi ness In Brooklyn, N. Y. He started for the Klondike on Feb. 10, 1888, and re turned In this country last week. From the time of his arrival in Sko guay, In the lower portion of the terri tory, until the time he left St. Michael, In the northern part, last August, ho had traveled by land and water over 12,000 miles, penetrating some of the most remote and practically undiscov ered regions of that enormous tract known ns the Klondike. Mr. Mack Is n veritable walking gazetter of Alaska, knowing, It would seem, the name of almost every creek In the entlro country. Unlike Mr. Vet ter, he returns with $15,000. which he made while there In fine claims located In various parts of the territory. Ho met Mrs, Bens last Juno In Nulatlo, where she was being taken care of by a Catholic priest named Father Rajue. She told him of tho supposed death of the twelve men in tho Elk and also of tho death of her husband. He met Mr, Vetter In St. Michaels while the latter was waiting for the General McPherson, on which lip Intended to sail. Mr. Mack floated down the entire length of the Yukon river, a distance of over 1,000 miles, for the purposo of exploring the country nnd finding good prospecting places. Ho hns a great deal to say of the gross corruption ex isting among the Canadian officials. Like Mr. Vetter, ho Is fully determined to brave the rigors ot tho far north again next spring. J. T.
