It I.J this: Is a trolley company liable for dam ages when a passenger, filghtcned by a Hush fiom n conti oiler box, iuhes out of a car to Injuty and death? The answer to this is to be made In the light of the fact that so far as ( h ts been shown in this case the an- , pllances iu the car weie tho best i known and wftro In good woiklng orb" at the time of tho Hash. Tt was also shown that these Hashes weio of fie quciit occuitencp and tint elpctiical engineers hae as yet been iuiiIjIj to eleilsp any nipatis of muti'itiitn; them.

Confeienco Committee Met Last Night and Discussed Flans for the Pioposed Viaduct. Only thup membeis of tho viaduct confetonip eomniltteo weie piesent last evening at the meeting of that body called for S.:;0 o'clock, and which was held after common council meet ing. These were all common coun cil mcuibets, namely: Messrs, Towkes biny, Calpln, and Gtllliths, Mayor Motr and City Hnglncor Phillips, weio aho present, tho litter with a big bundle of viaduct plans. , Nothing definite wns done, but u thorough examination of the existing plans was made and much discussion as to wheic was tho best location for tho pioposed Imptovement resulted, though this latter fact has now been settled as the oullnanco Itself piovieks for Its election on the scutlt sldo of the sttcpt. It was suggested by Mr. Calpln that tho viaduct might bo extended out twenty ltet beyond the tin h lino with out any fear of damage claims fiom piiiDCtlv nwiiciM on tho noith sldo of the stieet. as West Lackawanna avenue- fiom Seventh to Ninth sticet, is sixty feet wide, and this would leave It still fmtv feet, or as wide or even wider than a majotlty of the sticcts of tho i Itv. City Hnglneer Phillips ventured the statement that If the viaduct weie built In tho ccntic of the sttect. com pletely dosing tho i.illwny ctossl g. that it could bo elected, counting dam age claims fiom property owneis on both sides of tho street, for the same amount of money that will bo expended on tho present viaduct, when the laigo amount of land that has to bo con demned and bought Is tuken Into con sldptatlon. The engineer stated that the viaduct Itself, us at piesont pioposed, would cost about $70,1)00, and Mr. Griffiths said that thu Ti action company and the Delawate, Lackawanna, and West ern company should both, pay this amount, leaving tho city to pay only for the land condemned. Supetintendent Russell, of tho Lacka wanna, will not be in this city this week, as was expected, but Is expected the beginning of next week when the eomniltteo wftl wait upon him, that tho citizens of the city may havp a knowledge of how much tho companies will pay befote they vote yea or nea on tho nit asm e.

In 1S Peter Carver was legally do claied :i lunatic- and J. H. Dolphin, his son-in-law, a appointed a comtnlt-tic- to maiuigc his estate, which In the main consisted of eight atics of land In Thtoop, Implored with two tvvo stoty fiamo dwellings. Complaints to tho effitt that the committee was ne glecting to psovldi- for the wife was followed In August, 1S'.' by Mr. Dol phin's leslgti'itl'in. Geoigo Olendlko was appointed to succeed him ami forthwith pntcied a rule to show why the real estate should not be sold. After some con tlnu nice tho sale took place, Helniund J. McNully and Mai tin Ferguson pur chasing it for $500. Tho children ate trying to havo the sale set aside on the gtound that It was unnecesx.irv, that the proceedings wete Inegulir and th.ic the propel ty was told for one-fourth ot its actual value. Tho case of Thomas Mc-IIalo against the borough of Throop and others, ap pellants, was argued by J. W. Dawson for the appellants and James J. O'Mal ley for the appellee. When Throop was a pait of Dlelc on city tho municipality contracted with the Dickson city water company to elect and supply ten lire hydtants. tho munlclpalltv to keep the hydiants In lepalr. One of these ten hydiants wns located In front of the plaintiff's piopcity. In ls9s. some vears after Throop became a borough, this hy diant was bioken by a wagon collid ing with it. Tho water in tho nuln was at that time ery low, but In th" fall, when the pressut'- became high, tho water roicd Its way through ho bteak in tho hydiant up through the giound and Into McHale's yaid. A xerdlct was lenieie'd against the bor ough and an appeal was taken cm the ground of etiois in the trial. PHHSSMAN CASH. l. II. Shuitlcff, for the aipcllant, end C. Ti.

The defence- was that the oveitlows only oci urted In times i-f uuusuil stoi nis and that at all events a Mu nicipality can not be ehaiired with negllrtnce when n mistake Is mado In a judicial act. At tho time of adjournment argu ments were about concluded :n tho cae of George G. V Inans against L. M. Runnel, appellant. Hon. John P.
