license court broke all previous rec
ords yesterday by going over the en
tire application list In ono day. When
adjournment was had at 4.30 o'clock nit
that remained to bo done was to hear
arguments In two cases In which Hon.
John I'. Kelly was Interested, and
which could not be lirard yesterday
owlnir to Mr. Kelly's being taken 111,
and two other cases, which wero not
quite ready for presentation. They wilt
be heard thla morning.
The usual plan of receiving the ap
plications was followed. Judge Arch
bald called off the list and If it was
an "old house" the nttorney for the
applicant simply answered "old house"
and court went on to the next unless
thero was remonstrance against the
place. Where a remonstrance had
been filed Clerk Daniels announced the
fact and tho attorneys for and against
approached the bench and made their
arguments.
The first application against which
a remonstrance was announced was
that of William Kruggcr, of the Thirl
ward of Dickson City. W. W. Lath
rope appeared for the remonstrants,
and John R. Edwards for the appli
cant. The ward has eighteen licensed
retail houses and four wholesale
houses, not counting those of which the
court has no record. This year there
are applications for four new retail
houses and one new wholesale house.
DBINKING PLACES ENOUGH.
Mr. Lathrope claimed there were
drinking places enough in that local
ity and that Kruggers proposed house
Is objectionable to the people llvlnjj
nearby.
Thomas Lally's application for a
license for his house in Blakoly was
opposed by a remonstrance represented
by C. L. Hawley. Two churches and
a large number of residents of the im
mediate neighborhood comprise the re
monstrants. P. J. Fltzslmmong argued
for the necessity of the house. The
application has been twice refused.
M. J. Ruddy presented an application
for a license for Frank BrosdowskI, of
Lincoln street, Dickson City, which
has been refused Ave times.
P. J. Reagan's application for a li
cense for a house on Dunbar street was
opposed by a remonstrance presented
by John F. Scragg and E. W. Thayer.
Hon. C. P. O'Malley, representing Re
gan, claimed that the opposition came
from a prospective rival hotel-keeper.
Colonel F. L. HItchock and F. E.
Reers vigorously opposed the applica
tion of Charles Paine, who wants to
establish a new house at or near the
Intersection of Olyphant road and the
Boulevard in the First ward. Mr,
Beers represented 105 residents and a
number of non-resident property hold
ers of the ward, while Colonel Hitch
cock appeared for the Green Rtdgc
Presbyterian church congregation,
which has built a chapel within 705
feet of where the hotel building Is.
John M. Ounster and George W. Okcll
appeared for the petition arguing for
the necessity of a hotel at that place,
the adaptability of the building and
the fitness of tho applicant.
John M. Harris and John M. Gun
ster. who appeared for John Luken's
application for a pew house on Lloyd
street, were somewhat non-plussed by
a statement to the court from C. W.
Dawson, representing the remonstrants,
that Luken had been convicted for
selling without a license and that he
had spent nine months In Jail for par
ticipation in a fight in his house which
ended in one of the combatants being
laid up In the hospital for six months.
JONES IS UNDAUNTED.
Undaunted by five successive refusals
Matthew H. Jones, of Bulls Head, pre
sented his application once more. John
R. Edwards, his attorney, said the re
monstrance was Instigated by a hotel
man who had a monopoly of the busi
ness In that locality for years.
George W. Beale, representing the
remonstrance, denied this, saying the
remonstrance was headed by a woman
of the neighborhood.
Some amuMment was created when
the application of Peter Ccrenl, of
Bull's Head, was presented. One of
the objections was that a hole in the
wall has been conducted there and that
It has continued even In the face of an
Indlotment of Its alleged proprietor,
Joseph Connell.
Ono ot the exhibits of the petition
was a large photograph taken a few
days ago, its purpose being to sdiow
to the court what a nice, largo und
well adapted building Mr. Cerenl has.
The photographer, not being advised
to the contrary, photographed every
thing within view and when the photo
was presented to court yesterday It
showed each window of tho hotel to be
stacked with wine and whiskey bot
tles, while on either sldo was dis
played the unmistakable Anheiser
Busch advertisement. Court smiled

said they were "soft drink" bottles.
KEARNEY UP AGAIN.
When the application of Jnmcs T.
Kearney, of 1623 Jackson street, was
called out Attorney Cawley contented
himself with saying "new house." This
application has been refused repeated
ly. Patrick F. Gerrlty's petition to con
duct a hotel In the old County Saving
bank building was presented by John
It. Edwards. Mr. Gertity proposes to
use all six floors and make It a first
class hotel. M. F. Rellly applied for
a hotel license for the store formerly
occupied by Brown's Bee Hive.
John F. Scragg presented a petition
from G. Theodore Morris to have his
license renewed at the "Hub" on Sprues
street.
C. P. Davidson, representing tho
Young Men's Christian association and
others, protested against tho granting
of a license to James McGovern for 312
North Washington avenue. The build
ing is next door 1 1 tho Guernsey
building, It was pointed out, where the
Young Men's Christian association,
Women's Christian Temperance union,
Catholic Women's Benevolent legion,
Catholic Historical society and New
man Magazine club and n number ot
like organizations have their head
quarters. President H. C. Shafer and
Secretary George G. Many presented
separate protests.
P. W. Stokes, T. P. Hoban and Hon.
C. P. O'Malley argued tor the neces
sity of the place and the like. Thero
is only one other hotel in the ward,
the Conway house, Mr. O'Malley
showed. There wore nny number ot
hotels in the block where tho Youns
Men's Christian association formerly
had Its headquarters, Mr. OMalloy
said, but the Young Mcn'o .Christian
association was not Injured. Tho great
number of eating and boarding houses
in the block in question was an argu
ment In favor of tho new hotel, Mr.
O'Malley hold. Some men like to have
a glass of beer with their dinner and
they are entitled to have It Just as
much as Mr. Davidson la entitled to
tho privilege of having a Scranton club
Just around the corner where he can
get a bottle of wine with his dinner.
FOR THE NEW BREWERY.
John R. Jordan applied for a brew
er's license for the Anthracite Beer
company, which Is erecting a $12,000
building on Nay Aug avenue, with thrc
Intention of moving Its Kingston plant
to this city.
Three applications were received
from the Fifteenth ward. Court called
attention to the fact that these three
houses were licensed last year, but not
one of the licenses were taken out.
"We'll give them another trial," re
marked Judge Archbald.
"Nineteenth ward, Henry Laub
scher," Judge Archbald called out.
"That's a new house, your honor."
said AttoraWj John F. Murphy, ap
proachlng tbiT bench, with the inten
tion of making his argument.
"All right, we'll grant it," broke in
Judge Archbald. Mr. Murphy was
non-plussed.
"We feared you might change your
mind and persist In the application,"
the Judge added.
Another Nineteenth ward petitioner,
Frank Nowackl, represented by Hon.
John P. Qulnnan, was likewise In
formed that his application was favor
ably considered. These were the only
two applications from that ward. Two
from the Twentieth were likewise
favorably commented upon.
There were no applicants from the
Twelfth or Twenty-first wards. Oscar
S. Handrlck's application from Clark's
Summit was opposed by a lengthy re
monstrance. Court took the paper
without hearing arguments.
Cases yet remaining to be considered
are those ot John J. Shea, Michael
Clawby, Nelson Lowry, of Taylor, and
John J. SUelly. In the latter case there
are two applicants, Skelly anil Frank
Hafter. They are to decide today
which of them will take out the license.

NEW DECISION ON
FOOT-FRONT RULE
SUPPLEMENTARY OPINION
HANNAH LEVERS CASE.
IN
Judge Archbald Quotes a United
States Supreme Court Decision In
the Matter Police Officer Not En
titled to Receive Statutory Re
wardsMorrison Was Arrested
Under an Obsolete Ordinance
Domlnlck Healey Not Entitled to
Damages Awarded Him.
In an opinion supplementary to the
opinion in the Levers case handed down
by Judge Archbald yesterday, practi
cally declares the foot front rule of
making assessments to be unconstitu
tional when It altogether Ignores the
question of accruing benefits, as was
done by the city in the Levers case.
Mrs. Levers' property Is located on
the corner of Lafayette street and
Decker court. She was assessed for
a rwer on both sides of her property.
Other properties on the opposite side
of the court which had thole frontage
on Main avenue were exempted from
the assessment because they had al
ready been assessed and paid for a
sewer on North Main avenue.
Thts exemption, Judge Archbald de
clared, was wrong. If Mrs. Levers'
property can be assessed by the foot
front rule on Its front and one side,
the opposite properties could also by
the same principle be assessed front
and rear by as many feet as abutted
on the lino of both sewers. On the
strength of this he discharged the rule
for Judgment which had been applied
for by the city.
Yesterday's supplemental opinion will
cause a change In the manner of mak
ing local assessments, unless It can
be overthrown In an appeal. It says:
"Since writing the above I have had
my nttentlon called to the case of
Norwood against Baker, 172 U. S., 269,
which fully vindicates tho refusal to
give Judgment In favor of the city.
It was there held, by the United States
supreme court, that tho exaction from
the owner of private property of the
cost of a public Improvement in sub
stantial excess of the special benefits
nccrulng to hlni, Is, to the extent of
such excess, a taking, under the guise
ot taxation, of private property for
public use without compensation, and
that where the assessment Is made
under a rule which precludes any. In
quiry as to the actual benefits received,
the whole assessment will be enjoined
without going Into proof as to tho ex
cess. The state against Newark, 37 N. J.,
415, referred to above, is cited, among
others, as authority for this position.
Following the decision In Norwood
against Baker it was held In Loeb
against Columbia township, 01 Federal
Reporter, 37, by the United States cir
cuit court, for tho Southern district
of Ohio, that a statute which provides
for the assessment of the entire cost
of a public Improvement on abutting
property by the foot-front rule, with
out reference to the special benefits,
rests the assessment on an illegal basis,
and Is void, as In contravention of the
fourteenth amendment of tho Federal
constitution, prohibiting the taking ot
private property without due process
of law. This exposition by the United
States courts of tho supreme law ot
the land deprives the case of Mlchener
against Philadelphia. 118 Pa., G35, of
Its authority, and effectually overturns
tho double assessment against the de
fendant, Mrs. Levers, on which the
present action by the city Is based.
R. W. Archbald, P. J."
City Solicitor A. A. Vosburg filed ex.
ceptions to the opinion and court or
dered them duly noted.
Police Can't Collect Reward.
Under a ruling mado by Judge Arch
bald, yesterday, a police officer is not
entitled to collect a statutory reward.
Tho decision was called forth by De
tective John W. Molr's claim for ?20
standing reward, which the state offers
for the canturc of a horse thief. De
tective Molr captured and helped con
vice Henry Rlker. The opinion in full
is ns follows:
Tho applicant Js .it police detective of
tho city of Scranton, and on the iilglu of
July 23, 1S9S, upon information that tho
horse of Albert Wicks, which had boon
loft tied on ono of the streets of the city,
had been stolen by tho defendant, ho pur
sued and apprehended him und recovered
the horso and was subsequently instru
mental in securing the defendant's con
viction. This prompt and commendable, action,
which was of service both to tho owner
of the horso and to tho public, would en
tltlo the applicant to the reward provided
by the statute, it It were not for tho
policy of the law which prohibits him
from claiming It on account of his offi
cial position as one of the police of tho
city of Scranton, where the theft was
committed.
As an officer of the law it was part of
his undoubted duty to follow and arrest
tho thief, and It has been repeatedly de
cided that statutory rewards aro not In
tended for thoso who aro merely acting
within tho lines of their official duty.
It would bo an unfortunate condition
of thliiBS if a. police officer or detective,
when called upon to assist In tho ap
prehension of a criminal, and the recov
ery of stolen property, could onlv be
stimulated to effective work by tho hope
of reward held out to him. Ills official
pay Is his reward, and ho Is expected to
make every reasonable effort without
anything further. That is what ho un
dertakes to do when ho assumes the po.
sltlon, and it will not do to undermine
the senso of responsibility by holding out

" never had as good a fit before in my life. "
"You have made me a better suit for $15 than one
paid $35 for last fall."
"I don't see how you do it for the price, but you do
and that is enough for me."

fesir
tho hope of romcthing more. It was bo
decided by this court In commonwealth
against Edwards (0 Lacka. Legal News),
and that Is tho position of all authorities.
The fact that tho arrest was mado
outside the city, or that it was without
a warrant docs not aftect tho (mention;
tho duly of tho oillccr was tho sarao re
gardless of cither circumstance. Tho ap
plication for tho reward Is refused.
Other Opinions and Orders.
In the case of Swift and others
against Walsh and others a new trial
was allowed by Judge Archbald, be
cause of nn error In the charge of tho
court.
This is the somewhat celebrated cow
case that has already had two trials.
Tho plaintiffs are suing to recover the
value of a cow which they bought of
the defendants and which shortly af
terward died. At the last trial of the
caFe the Hies were missing nnd It was
agreed that the action should proceed
as ono based on express warranty. In
delivering the charge the trial judge
said, among other things: "If you
find that the cow was sick, but that
the defendants did not know of It,
your judgment will be for tho defend
ant." This, Judge Archbald says, Is
a manifest error and on the strength
of It ho awards n new trial.
The cow cost $f.. The expenses of
tho litigation thus far will not fall far
short of $300.
Alderman Thomas Saltry's Judgment
In the case ot the commonwealth
against Bartley Morrison was reversed.
Molrlson was charged by James Sal
try, last November, with being intoxi
cated, disorderly and profane on the
city streets. He was fined $3 and costs
and In default was committed to the
county jail for thirty days.
An appeal was taken on the ground
that the city ordinance of Oct. 20, 1S6G.
under which the arrest and conviction
were made, was repealed by it later
ordinance, that of April 2, 1894, or the
new police ordinance, ns It Is familiar
ly ..nown.
Court sustains the contention and re
verses the alderman.
The finding of Referee Nathan Vida
ver allowing Domlnlck Healey $210 for
damages which ho claimed he sustained
by reason of the city having located
a catch basin on his property, at the
corner of Ninth street and West Lln
den street, was reversed, on the ground
thnt the land taken up by the basin Is
part of a strip for which the plaintiff
was allowed $1,000 damages when the
city was widening West Linden street.

The Tie Vote in Archbald.
Attorney C. A. Hattcnberg. yester
day, filed with court a petition asking
that an appointment be mado to nil

that exists through the failure of tho
election board to decide, by lot. as rho
law requires, between William Hunt,
Democrat, anl George Sehemmel, Re
publican, who each received 99 votes In
the Third ward.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien opposed the
petition, alleging that court had no
authority to appoint und that at all
events no vacancy would occur until
tho council met for reorganization,
which meeting was scheduled for last
night. Court took the petition under
consideration.
