CHILD WAS POISONED. A Drug Left to Kill Dogs Almost Ended the Life of Little Philip Waltisburger. riillip, the Infant son of Philip W.ilt lsbursrer. proprietor of the Linden Street Cash Market, at C19 Linden street, was a very sick child yesterday mornlnr;, and had It not been for prompt medical attention would have died, as tho result of poisoning. Two pet dogs, Nip and Fannie, which be longed tO the PStnllllHhmpnr fllo.l Sim- day of poisoning:, and Mr. Waltls- uurser is now very much on the alert to find the person who has so Indis criminately distributed the deadly stuff, which Is endangering the lives of members of his family. Just where the little child got hold of the poison Is not known, but It Is thought that while playing around the yard In the rear of the home that he found some remnant of the poison which had been fed the two dogs and put It Into his mouth. It happened about 11 o'clock j-ester-day morning, and tho little one gave a terrible cry, which brought his mother to the spot. She found the child foaming some green substance In hlR mouth, the llesh burned off the roof of his mouth and his tongue raw. Dr. Keller, of "Wyoming avenue, was called and, after examining the child, administered an antidote which re lieved the little one, who during the remainder of the day rested fairly easily. It was the physician's opin ion, however, that If but a little more of the poison had been taken Into the child's system the results would have been Immediately fatal. Of late several dogs, Inoffensive and quiet In nature, have been poisoned In the neighborhood, and the Identity of the poisoner remains enveloped In mys tery. The two dogs that were pois oned Sunday were Tannic, a small black animal, belonging to Mr. Waltls hurger, and Nig, a somewhat larger animal, belonging to tho employes of lilunie's Carriage works. During the week It lemalned around the works, and was a great favorite with all the men, never giving the least trouble. Sundays It stayed at tho Waltisburger home. Last Sunday afternoon Mr. Waltis burger and his family went for a drive. Xlg started to follow, but was driven back, and that was the last seen of the dog until the return home. A neighbor found Its body, stiff and cold, In a nearby court and brought it to tho house. There weie no matks of violence of any sort nnd It was evi dently poisoned. Under the kitchen porch wns found tho body of Fannie, tho other dog, In a like condition. The employes of Ulume's establish ment were highly Indignant when they saw the body of their pet, and ex pressed themselves In a manner which boded III for the slayer of the two animals. They burled the poor ani mals' remains In the rear of the shop, all of the employes being present at the time. The previous Sunday, a mlld-natured, Inoffensive little dog, a great favorite of a lady living nearby the Waltls burgers, was poisoned, and there have been several other Instances. The poisoning of tho child, however, Is about the limit. Mr. Waltisburger yesterday said that, while tho loss of the two dog stirred him up considerably, this en dangering of his children's lives Is en tirely too much, and measures will now bo taken toward discovering who the guilty party Is. Once discovered, things will be made very heated for him. Dr. W. K. Keller, who attended the chlltj, was unable to analyze the poison, but declared It to be of an exceedingly powerful and dangerous kind. Races at Speedway.

Quo Warranto Proceedings Instigat ed by the Erie to Obstruct the Construction of the Hawley-Lack-awaxen Branch of tho Erie nnd Wyoming Are Sodded in Eavor of the Latter No Question of Bad Faith Between the Defendant and the Commonwealth. The decision by Judge J. W. Simon ton, of Dauphin county, In the quo warranto proceedings over the Erie nnd Wyoming Valley Hnllroad com pany's right to construct Its proposed connecting link between Ilawley nnd Lackawnxen Is another signal victory for the promoters of tho now Delnware Valley and Kingston road. When the decision has been received In the Supreme court, to which tribunal It Is to bo appealed, there will be an end to tho litigation at present pend ing In this state between the oppon ents nnd promoters of the new road. It Is not the end of tho fight, how ever. Today In Albany the appellate division of the Supreme court Is to re view the finding of the New York state railroad commissioners, which, It will be remembered, reported favorably upon tho application for permission to construct the new road, which was so vigorously opposed by tho Erie com pany. RULE PENDING. There Is also pending In tho United States Circuit court a rule for an In junction to lestraln the Erie and Wyo ming company from building the llaw-ley-Lnckawaxen branch, on the ground that It would be a breach of contract with the Erie, to which company the Eilo nnd Wyoming In 1SS3 leased its original line from Ilawley to Lacka waxen for twenty-five years, with the proviso that all tho Pennsylvania Co-il company's business, east of Lacka waxen, should go to the Erie. The peti tion for a preliminary Injunction was refused on the ground thnt the ques tion between the two companies wns not wehther the defendant has a right to build the branch, but that If there Is a question at all It Is one that will not arise until the defendant company attenuvts to use the branch In viola tion of tho Erie's contract rights. The proceedings In which the Simon ton decision was made Tuesday com prised a quo warranto brought by the Erie In the name of tho attorney gen eral to compel the Erie and Wyoming to show by what right It presumes to build the Ilawley-Lackawaxen branch. The Erie contended thnt the Erie and Wyoming had exhausted Its char ter rights for the territory In question when It made a main line from Port Griffith to Lackawaxen by way of Huwley, nnd that the contemplated Ilawley-Lackawaxen branch Is a par alleling by the Erie and Wyoming of Its own main line. MADE ANSWER. Tho Erie and AVyomlng made nnswer that It proposed to build tho line In question under authority of the "branching" power accorded by Sec tion 9, of tho Act of April 9, 1SGS, under which It Is chartered, and which reads as follows: "Any company Incorporated under this act shall have authority to con struct such branches from Its main line as It may deem necessary to In crease Its business and accommodate the trade and travel of the public." Claiming to act under this clause the Erie and Wyoming directors, tit a meeting, held Nov. 9, 1899, passed a resolution providing for a "branch" from Its main line at Ilawley to Lack awnxen. This branch leaves the line of the present road 200 feet west of the Ilaw ley station, where the western end of the line Iensed to the Erie road begins, crosses the Lackawaxen creek, and follows the windings of Its stream eastward for a distance of about four teen miles, until It approaches Lacka waxen borough, when It re-crosses the creek, runs through the village and terminates at the centre of the Dela ware river, Intending there to connect with the projected road to be built from that point to Kingston on tho Hudson river. After reviewing the facts In the case, as outlined above, Judge Slmonton dismisses from consideration the ques tion of the defendant's good faith, in these words: QUESTION OF GOOD FAITH. "We are not sure that wo apprehend precisely what Is meant by counsel by the alleged want of good faith. We understand that the question of good faith is a question between the com monwealth and the defendant, and thnt when the latter honestly and fair ly states Its real purpose In wishing to bull 1 the branch, and Intends to build it, It is acting In good faith. If we are correct In this, there can bo no doubt here, for It Is, as we have seen, conceded that the defendant has honestly and fairly stated that tho purpose Is to connect with the road to Kingston; and It certainly intends to build the branch. "Wo Infer from the connection In which the question of good faith was mooted, that counsel for tho common wealth consider that tho alleged bad faith lies in tho fact that defendant seeks to build the proposed branch and to connect with another road, after having leased part of Its lino to tho Erie company. But this, if n breach of good faith, would be such as against the Erie company nnd not against the commonwealth, and Its quality would depend on tho contract relation be tween the two companies, with which, we do not think, the commonwealth has anything to do." Judge Slmonton then quotes a batch of decisions, Interpreting the "branch ing" power clause of the act of 18GS, and nays: POWEft CLAUSE. "In view of these repeated affirma tions that the language of the act (that any company, Incorporated un der this act, shall have nuthorlty to construct such branches from Its main A PBAKINC POWDER UKLLKVUK HOSPITAL HF.D.

"Hecausu that the dcllnltlon of n branch does not depend either on di rection or length, that o branch may bo constt uctcd from the terminus or from uny other point In tho main line, nnd that a branch mny be built before the main line Is completed, or after the time has expired, within which the main lino has been built, wo are unable to decide that the defendant has no legal right to build the proposed branch In this cnio. "We do r.ot think the pit ndlngs raise tho question whether the defendant owns tho right of way over which It has located tho branch line, nor do wo express any opinion on that point. In any event It cannot actually construct tho road until It obtains tho right of way, either by condemnation or pur chase. Wo therefore reach the follow ing conclusions of law: "The defendant has authority, under section 9 of tho net of April 4, 18G8, to construct the proposed branch road, described In Its plendlngs from Its main line nt Ilawley to the middle of the Delnware river, at Lackawaxen village. JUDGMENT DIHECTED. "Judgment Is therefore directed to bo entered In fnvor of tho defendant, If excel tlons bo not filed within the tlmo limited by law." The case was heard before Judge Slmonton without a Jury. The local attorneys in the case wre Welles fc Torrey for the Erie and Wyoming, anil Wlllard, Wnrrcn & Knapp for the Erie. CONVENTION OF K. OF C. Honesdalo Council Takes the Initia tive In the Movement Sister Councils to Be Invited. Ilonesdale council, Knights of Col umbus, held a meeting last Tuesday evening, presided over by Grand Knight Thomas Finnerty, at which It was proposed to arrange for a grand convention of all the councils of Knights In this section of the country. The proposition was considered nt length nnd finally adopted by a unani mous vote. A committee was appointed with power to act and the committee se lected Lake Lodore as the place for the convention and Wednesday, Aug. 22, as the date. Ilonesdale council will Immediately bring the matter before the sister councils of Lackawanna, Luzerne nnd Susquehanna counties, thnt Is before the councils of Wllkes liaire, Plttston, Scranton, Carbondalo, Foiest City, Susquehanna nnd other towns on this side of tho Rlooslcs. But the Invitations will not be confined here. Last year freiucnt excursions were run by the Erie road from New Yotk city to Farvlew at $1.30 rate. It Is tho Intention of the Ilonesdale coun cil to have a similar excursion run and to enrry to the grand convention the councils of Port JervIs.Mlddletown and the numerous councils of New York city and Brooklyn. Ilonesdale Is happily situated to take tho initiative In this movement, being located between the councils of this region nnd those of New York and be ing nearby the lake. It is tho inten tion of tho Honesdalo council to at tend to the catering and the entertain ment of the assembled thousands on the grounds, while the other councils will be given the profits on railroad tickets In proportion to the number of passenrs carried from their respect ive districts. The project Is sure to arouse lively enthusiasm In Knight hood circles. The order embraces many men of state and national repu tation, Including orators of note.whose voices will be heard from the big pa vilion, which will for this occasion, be usfd as an auditorium as well as for the Oatic". The Knights of Columbus Is one of the latest of organizations In this sec tion of tho country. It has not alone the Interest that attaches to novelty, but It has the genuine attributes of fraternity. The convention will un doubtedly be one of the most memor able gatherings ever assembled In this section. PUPILS OF MISS BECKER. They Will Give a Musicale at Powell's on Friday Night.

President Simpson Sold to a Trib une Man That They Will Not Move tho Toll-gato and tho Matter Will Have to Bo Fought Out in the Courts City Solicitor Vosburg Will Ask One of tho Judges Today to Revoke the License of tho Com pany to Collect Toll. Street Commissioner Thomas yester day served notice on President C. D. Simpson, of tho Nay Aug Falls and Elmhurst Boulevard company, that In pursuance with tho provisions of a re solution recently adopted by both councils the company's toll-gate In Nay Aug park must bo removed at once. President Slmp'on received the no tice and later in the day Informed a Tribune man thnt the company, acting upon the advice of Its attorneys, Wll lard, AVarrcn & Knapp, would not re move the toll-gate, leaving the matter to be fought out In the courts. Just what legal reasons Impel tho company to this course will not yet be divulged. It Is understood, however, that just at present the officials of tho company consider the resolution not binding, In asmuch as a proposition made by them to have the city buy that portion of the road lying within the city limits Is now In the hands of tho parks com mittee of select council and has not been acted upon. If council should consider this proposition favorably and accept It then they would bo re considering their former action In di recting the removal of the toll-gate, argues the company's attorney. THE PROPOSITION. This proposition of the company's, as has been previously mentioned In these column, Is that It will sell Its right of way through 'Nuy Aug park, Including the bridge spanning the falls, to tho city for the sum of $17,500, tho city In return to allow this right of way to be used by tho company as an approach to the boulevard. It Is known that some of the mem bers of the park committee do not take favorably to this plan, inasmuch as they believe that the city has nothing to gain by It, the city solicitor having decided that tho company cannot legal ly collect toll within the park limits. Should this proposition be accepted, the city would have to keep tho road In repair mainly for tho company's use, they argue. The company, on the other hand, contends that the city has no moral or legal right to take away Its right of way and bridge from It without giv ing any compensation In return, and thus the matter stands for the present. A new phase of the question wns brought up yesterday when City Solici tor Vosburg Hied a petition with court asking for a revocation of the license of the company. It appears that un der an act of 1874 all turnpike and boulevard companies owning a road over live miles long must take out a llcen'e before it enn collect toll from the public traveling on thnt road. HAD NOT COMPLIED. In his opinion read In select council on the evening of June 7, Mr. Vosburg called attention to the fact that the Elmhurst Boulevard company had not complied with the provisions of this act, as they had taken out no license and, accordingly, could not legally col lect. The next morning, June 8, the attorneys of the company applied to court for such a license. The court. In accordance with the provisions of the act, appointed A. B. Stevens, O. E. Backus and James E. Watklns ns viewer to report as to whether or not the road was In proper condition. The viewers reported forth with and on June 11 the license was granted. In his petition Mr. Vosburg contends that no notice of any of the proceedings was given to any olllclal of the city, and that the first knowl edge he had of such petition being granted was obtained In tho course of a discussion between himself nnd one of thi attorneys for thtv company up wards of two weeks after such license was granted. Mr. Vosburg further contends that tho company had no legal right to ask for a license to collect toll after hav ing collected It for over eight years, or since the time of .Its Incorporation In 1S92. without one. He further con tends that the license wns Inadvertant ly granted and prays that It be re voked and that the permission granted tho company to collect toll be with drawn. TO PRESENT PETITION. The petition will be presented to one of the judges in chambers this morn ing. Major Warren said yesterday that Mr. Vosburg'would learn that tho com pany didn't necessarily have to notify the city that it was going to take out a license. In case court refuses to revoke tho license nnd the park committee does not consider the company's proposi tion, Mr. Vosburg will apply to court for a peremptory mandamus compell ing thp company to remove the toll gate .
