Hudson Canal Company Says

It Is a Parallel Line and Not a

Counsel.
Special t-i The Scranton Tribune.
Honcsdnlo, I'u., Jan. G For two dajs
one of the greatest rullroud battles In
the history of the countiy has been
waged In the court house here before
Judge I'uidy. It Is .1 contest of mill
ions against millions, and not a single
point is being overlooked or u trick lost
in this gicat contest.
The plaintiff In the case Is the Kile
and Wyoming Valley Tin 111 find com
pany and the ilufendunt the Krle Itall
roucl coiiipnn, two coipoiatlons that
lor yeais have had ninny Interests In
common. The Kile Is now lighting to
pi event the Krle and Wyoming Valley
companyfrom constiucting n line which
will be a business coinputttor of the
Krle. The toad In question Is the Dela
ware A'alley nnd Kingston rnllioad,
which It Is proposed to build on the
bed of the abandoned Deluwaie. and
Hudson canal.
The ro.id fiom Haw ley, Wane coun
ty, to Lackawnxen, Tike county, Is to
be built by the Krle and Wyoming Val
ley company, which has put chased th"
bed of the canal for that distance fiom
the Cornell Steamboat company, which
home months ago purchased the en
tire canal and right of way fiom the
Delaware nnd Hudson company.

Near LackawaNen the main line of
the Kile ciosses the canal and about
the time the silivej.s for the proposed
extension of the Kile nnd Wyoming
Valley load weie. being made the Kilo
tilled up the canal to the level of Its
Hacks for the pmpose of doing nwav
with the bridge, as was alleged by the
Kile. The Krle and W)omlng Vullov
say It was merely a tilck to pi event
them from using the canal and tiled a
bill In tcpilty at Mllfoid, Pike county,
to compel the Kile to lemove the till

lng at Mllfoid, but was continued until
yesterday at Honesdale by agi cement,
this place belpg eonsKied moie con
venient for all concerned than Mllfnrd.
After the bill In equity was (lied It
was alleged that the Kile company laid
nbout one-fourth of a mile of a ttacl!
between Haw ley and l.aeknvvaxen,
which crosses the canal near the Krle
bridge vvheie the cin.il Is tilled. At
yesterday's healing somewhat of a sen
sation was caused by the announce
ment that the lalls In question weie
laid by the Delawaie and Southern
railroad, which has been chaiteted lo
build a road fiom Haw ley to Laekn
waxen, unclei the laws of this state.
CUKAT A1S.UAY OF LAWYKKS.
It has been many a day since Hones
dale has entertnlned so many capital
ists, lailro.td men nnd distinguished
law.veis as weie heie today. The plain
tiff is lepiesented by Thomas O. Shei
nian and C. S. Oebh.udt, of New York:
A. T. McCllntock, of Wllkes-liaiie; T.
If. Toney, of Sci anion; C. A. Pull, of
Mllford, and Homer Oieene and Judge
Wilson, of this place. The Intel ests of
the defense are looked after by Hon.
11. N. Wlllaul, Major Kveiett Wairen
and C. P. O'Malley, of Scianton, and
A. T. Searle. of this plate. .
This was the final healing in the bl'l
In equity and began esteidn and con
cluded today. The plaintiff company
pioved n record title to the caml
thiough the Cornell Steamboat com
pany, which eonvejed the part In
Pennsylvania to the Kile and Wyoming
Valley company.
The point was inlsed by the defence
that the Cornell company being a foi
clgn torpoiatlou could not take title or
convey it.
Judge Puidy said he was Inipiessed
by the foice of the objection, but de
cided not to pass upon It then. He
would hear all the testimony and de
cide later whether or not it ought to
be stricken out.
It was shown that the Kile and
Wjomlng Valley company dliectoi.s on
Nov. 9 last laid out a bi.mch loid from
Haw ley to the vicinity of the Delawaie
liver. Chief Knglneer Webster was
called, who testified that on Nov. 10
ho laid out the proposed blanch and
pioduced a map which he said showed
the line as located. This was adopted
by the dhectois on Nov. 11.

also brought out that the piopoc1
road parallels n line owned by the Kila

pany, which Is now leased to the Kilo
lalltoad for $.10,000 u year. This load
was oilglnally owned by the Pinnsjl
vntiln Coal company, but wus leased to
the Krle and Wyoming Valley.
The plaintiff called a number of wit
nesses to piove that the canal had
been abandoned. On this point the de
fendant's line of eioss-cxaniliintlon
showed that the canal was used for
genual fi eight put poses up to Novcm
be.', 1MJS, and that the aigunients on
the admission of evidence Indicated
that they took the position that the
Delawaie and Hudson could not aban
don the canal without the consoat of
the leglsl.utiie.
Kvldeiue was also Introduced by the
plalntlrt to show that the filling under
the bridge at Kackawaxen did not sttp
poit the bildge and was not done In
good faith.
The defense pioved that the bildg"
was built In U74 and since then the
weight of lolling stock has lneuassl
from 100 to 200 per cent. For the p is t
two veais. It was stated, the bridge
has been Intuit quate and an older was
Issued for not more than one engine
to pass nvi'i It at a time. It Is on the
mnln line between New Yoil; and litif
falo and moie than eight liundied pas
sengers aie can led over It dally. Tli
fill, It was contended, was made of the
best stone and the vvoilc was done In
accordance with the policy of the l all
load compiny to abolish bridges wher
ever possible. Tills for the safety it

Deeds and ngi cements between Tlui
sell F. Loid and the Kile and the Dela
waie and Hudson and the Kile were
pioduced, which the defendant com
piny claims glvoa It absolute title to
the land the canal Is on. It was shown
that the pioposed Hue Is moie than
fifteen milts In length nnd as It punl
