At Philadelphia yesterday tho Su

peal to that body from the decision of
the Siipeilnr court In his case. Little
Is now serving a term In the county
J.iII for llbellliif- colonel 1Z. II. IMpple.
This decision means that Little will
hae to serve out his sentence, which
expires Aug. 21,
Other decisions handed down nt
Philadelphia yesterday In Lackawanna
county cases were:

II lined.
The Olyphant Sewage Drainage
company vs. the borough o. Olyphant,
et a!., C. P. Lackawanna county. De
cice is alllrmed at tho cost of the ap
pellants. Gunster vs. Jessup, ct al C. P.
Lackawanna. Judgment Is alllrmed.
The case of Gunster against Jessup
Is the famous one growing out of the
failure of the Scranton City bank.
This suit wns brought to recover up
on a bond given by George A. Jessup,
vice-piesident of the Scranton City
bank, dated on or about the 12th of
February, 1SSG. The sureties upon the
bond were William II. Jessup, Benja
min II. Throop and Albert Beardsley.
William II. Jessup Is the surviving
obligor.
Tho condition of the bond was that
if Geotge A. Jessup should fulfill with
integilty and fidelity the trust icposed
In him, and faithfully execute the du
ties assigned to him as vlce-ptesident,
then the obligation bo void, otherwise
to be of full effect.
At the tilal of the case IMward Mer
rllleld, who was once a director and
stockholder of the bank, was called as
n witness for the plaintiff. Objection
wase made that he was Incompetent
as to any matters occuilng in the life
time of Dr. Throop, Albert Beardsley
and George A. Jessup, who weie then
dead, or as to any matters with which
they were concerned.
It was shown that Mr. Merrlfleld had
released and turned over all his stocn
to the assignee of the Scranton City
bank. It was also shown that there
was an ngreement of ceitain dlrectois,
Including the witness, with n commit
tee of depositors, to pay the depositors
in full. It was proved that the con
ti.ict had been compiled, with nnd sur
rendeied to the directors, there being
a receipt upon the bjuk of it of the
chahnmn of the committee of deposi
tor to that effect. It was pioed that,
certain depositois had assigned their
deposits to Jlr. Merrlfleld, trustee, for
the put pose of showing that he was
interested In this suit. This evidence
wns icbutted by the Admission of a
wiitten assignment from Mr. Merrl
fleld to Henry Aimburst of all his In
terest In deposits. It was shown also
that Mr, Merrlfleld and others, at the
time of the failure of the bank, bor
rowed some money from the First Na
tional bank, of Scranton, and gave
their note for the purpose of paying
depositors. At tho time of the trial
theie was a note at the First National
bank of about J8.000, upon which Mr.
Merrlfleld was a maker.
The court ruled that the witness wns
incompetent. The bond had been lost
or destroyed, and there was no other
witness by whom Its execution and
contents could be proved except Mr.
Menllleld.
The charge of the court was as fol
lows: "Gentlemen of the jury, there
being no evidence In this case upon
which the plnlntiff Is entitled to re
cover, your verdict will be for the de
fendants." The judgment of the couit of this
county that the plnlntiff was not en
titled to iecoer Is sustained by tho
Supieme court.
The Olyphant Sewage-Drainage com
pany, which was Incoiporated on th
twent) -seventh day of February, 1S01,
and on the same date by ordinance
was gi anted tho right to use the streets
of the said borough for the purpose of
carrlng out Its corporate lights and
pui poses, did not, It wns alleged, carry
on Its woik until the seventeenth day
of April, 1S93, when the olllcers of tho
boiough of Olyphant pieventcd the
plaintiff company from excavating nnl
laying pipe or using its stieets for the
purpose of constructing a system of
sewers lor the said borough. The plain
tiff company then asked for an in
junction lestralnlng tho boiough of
Olyphant and its ofllcials from Inter
fering with plaintiff's woikmen.
After hearing tho case, the court
mnde the following order:
"Now, therefore, this twenty-first
day of December, 1809, this cause hav
ing been heard at a legular term of
equity court and having been duly con
sidered, we order and direct that a
permanent Injunction Issue ngainst the
defendants In accot dance with the
prayer of plaintiff's bill and that the
defendants pay the costs of these pro
ceedings." This decision Is upheld by the Su
preme court.

PAVING CONfRACTS
ARE ALL ILLEGAL
NEW INTERPRETATION OF THE
MUNICIPAL LIEN LAW.
By a Decision of President Judge
Metzger, of Lycoming County, an
Abutting Troperty Holder Can
Only Bo Charged with the Cost of
Original Construction and Con
tracts in Which the Paving and
Repavlng Are Considered Together
Aro Illegal Other Court Matters.
By nn Interpretation of the law on
municipal liens, contained In nn opin
ion from President Judge Metzger, of
Lycoming county, every paving con
tract made by the city Is liable to suc
cessful attack. In Uie matter of such
paving contracts as thatof Mulberry
street, where the payments are to he
made In annual Installments and where
all have not been paid, the -city is sub
jected to the possibility of being com
pelled to shoulder a goodly portion of
the expense now nssessed against tho
abutting property holdeis.
The gist of Judge Metzgei's opinion
is as follows:
"A property holder cannot bo com
pelled to pay for repajrs on streets,
which a contractor, In a contract for
oilglnal paving, has covenanted to
make for a period of ears, where It
appears that the covenant of tho con
tractor contemplated lepalrs such as
might be rendered necessaiy by ordi
nal y wear and tear."
Tho finding was made In tho paving
case of the City of Willlnmspoit
against Lloyd. The defense was that
the abutting property holder can only
be charged with the cost of the oilg
lnal construction and that the iepalr3
must be made at the expense of the
city at laigo.
JUDGITS LANGUAGH.
After setting forth the provisions of
the conttact and oidinance pertaining
to repairs, Judge Metzger says:
Conslilirin,: the contrict as a whole, do the
proiMons to wlili.li wo liaw ufernd constitute
a mire warrant) of the proper construction and
materiil used tlnreln, or dots It Imply a making
of repairs which resulted not from an) improper
construction or difectho material u-ed by the
contractor? is it an)lhlni: more than a cuarnn
tee b) tho contractor of the quillt) of the mate
rial used and the chiradcr of the work per
formed b) him? That be was to warrant it
there can be no doubt, but by the terms of the
contract he was to do something more He was
to keep the picnicnt, during slid period of
scen )cars In giml order and repair at his own
cost, and was, during said pirlod, to repair and
make roo1 at his own tost and expense, and
without expense to the said prnpirt) holders all
defects in said piwment due to its proper mc
as a public hlghw i
This clear!) included ordinary wear and tear,
and included all lepalrs except such as would
le eourcd b) a general warrant) of the chai
attcr of the construction and the kind of mate
rill ued, or which might result from cames
other thin its uc us a hlghwa). litis proxlslon
of the contract is for something to be done b)
the contractor for which the propcrU holders
weie not liable. Wh) they Included the preci
sion that this was to be done without any ex
pense to the salil property-holders, wc cannot
ronccli r. At firt blush It looks very much like
a eleUco to make the prupert)-holelers keep the
streit lu repair for scxen )cars b proxiding that
the contractor should do it at his own expense,
while, at the same time, he xeouhl take this pro
Ulon Into consideration In miking his hid and
add sutllclcnt to the cost of the original paWng
to warrant him In making these repairs during
that period.
NOT LIABLE FOU BIIPAIBS.
It would look as If It was an attempt in this
manner to accomplish indlrcctl) what councils
had no power to el directl). Tint the propcrH
holders arc not llihlc for npalrs is now too will
settled to need dltuslon I ndcr tho decisions
of the huprimc court, all tint ran be charge d
to abutting proper!) -hohlers is the cost of the
original imprnwment; the burden of the main
tenance of that Improtcmcnt, afur it is once
mule, is cast on the muuliipjlltt
In the case of the Cit cf W illlamsport xs.
Heck, 12S l'a 147, it is said. "lhe limitation,
thus declared to exist, upon the power of taxa
tion for spccl.il benefits of a local ihiraettr rests
upon a clcirl) de lined and impregnable ba-sls,
but notwithstanding this, the munlcipil .uitlioit
ties charged with the duty of maintaining tlulr
streets and hlghwa)s in proper condition, had
become so wedded to the pernicious x)tcm of
maintaining such linprociii(nts at the expense
of abutting pi opcrt) -owners, that they wore loth
to abandon it, and xarlous schemes were ileJ-id
to olnlatu the difficulty that resulted from the
decision in llammet s. Philadelphia, but with
out much success,"
The time, alo, during xhlch this patement is
to be kept in repair is an unreasonable length of
time, and is a strong circumstance to comlnoe
us that this is an attempt to impose upon the
propel ty holders a burdin for xhlth the) cannot,
b) any law In lcnns)lanla now in existence, bo
made liable.
The judge also decided further on In
the opinion that nn assessment for the
entlto cost of a public lmpiovement on
abutting property by the foot-front
iule, without reference to special bene
fits. Is Illegal and void, and that the
Act of July 26, 1897, P. L. 420, relating
to municipal liens, Is rettoactlve and
is constitutional.
Rule for New Trial Vacated.
Judge Henrv K, Weand, of Mont
gomery county, was heie yesterday to
liear arguments on tho rule for a new
trial In the ejectment case of Mis,
Annie L. Ross against Mrs. R, M.
Ituland, In which n verdict for the
plaintiff was icndered In a suit before
him at the last teim of common pleas.
The arguments, however, were not
made. Attorney C. II, Soper, repio
sentlng the defense, declined to press
for a new trial, but Instead Instituted
a new suit, similar to the first, except
that the parties ate reversed.
The dispute Is between mother and
daughter over an acre of land In West
Ablngton. Mrs. Ruland, the mother,
claims It on a sheriff's deod. Tho
daughter alleges that tho Judgment on
which the property was sold was se
cured on a debt against her husband.

COMPANY'S OFFER
NOT DESIRABLE
BOULEVARD PROPOSITION WAS
CONSIDERED YESTERDAY.
Parle Committee nnd Park Commis
sioners Feel That 17,500 Is too
Much to Pay for Right of Way
Through the Park, and Will Sub
mit a Counter Proposition City
Solicitor Vosburg Still Believes
City Can Rcmovo Toll-Oato from
tho City Limits,
It can bo definitely stated that tho
patk committee of select council and
the park commissioners will not re
port favorably upon tho proposition
made by the Nay Aug Falls mid Kim
hurst Boulevard company to sell its
right of way through Nay Aug park
and Its bildgc over th" gulch to the
city for the sum of $17,500.
While this decision wns not actually
reached at yesterday afternoon's meet
ing of tho committee and the commis
sioners, nevertheless It was the pre
vailing opinion among those present.
It Is, of course, generally understood
that the Boulevard fompanysubmlt
ted this pioposltlon as n means of
solving the present difficulty about
tho removnl of Its toll gates from
within the limits of Nay Aug park.
There aic several reasons why the
proposition was not thought fnvoiably
of at yesterday's meeting. The first Is
that both the members of the com
mittee and tho paik commissioners
consider 17,500 too much.
All present yesterday said that the
city had never wanted the toll gate le
moved beyond the city limits, but
mciely beyond the pntk limits, or
about one-quarter of a mile beyond
the easterly end of the bridge. To
ask the company to lemove Its toll
gate beyond the city limits, as some of
the gentlemen connected with It seem
to think the city want3, would be
manifestly unjust.
TIIK CITY LIMITS.
Tho city limits extend nearly as far
up as the Speedway hotel, or about
two mll3s or more beyond the bridge.
The city merely says that It has tho
right to remove tho toll gate beyond
tho city limits, but that It is willing to
conctde tills light providing the com
pany lemoves Its gate bejond the park
limits.
While the,- had no exact figures at
hanc all agreed that the bridge over
tho falls cost betwean $7,000 and $8,000
and no more. City Knglneer Phillips
stated that It tost considerably less
than J10.0JO. The portion of the boule
vard lying within the park limits Is
nbout thiee-quarters of a mile In
length. Sevetal of those ptesent at
yesterday's meeting ventured tho as
sertion that the road was vvoith about
$-',500 a mile In Its ptesent condition.
At this figure three-quaiters of a
mile would come to $1,875. Adding $1,
123 to this for tho space on both sides
of the road, owned by the companv,
would total up $3,000, A counter propo
sition will undoubtedly be submitted
to the company, offering $10,000, allow
ing the $3,000 as above and $7,000 for
the bridge, valuing the latter at less
than its original cost on account of
wear.
While the members of tho park com
mittee and park commissioners were
nt the park yesterday afternoon they
met Select Councilman Vaughan, who
happened to be casually strolling along
Just noi th of the bildge. Now, Mr.
Vaughan, as Is well known, has a pet
scheme of his own, providing for the
building of a load thiough the park
by the city and the constiuction of a
bildge over the falls, and he Immedi
ately waxed eloquent on the subject.
KXAMINKD TIIK BRIDGK.
He took the members down to In
spect the present bildge, which he con
tends to be unsafe. City Knglneer Phil
lips went along, too, and while he
stated that the bridge is safe enough,
he neveitheless pointed out tho le-en-forcing
that had to be done at various
points by advice of Knglneer Cooper,
of New Yoik, who had examined the
plans when the stiucture was erected,
Mr, Vaughan pointed out the place
whoie he would have the city's roal
run, along the ridge Just west of the
gulch, and then showed where he
would have It cioss, just above the
falls.
"Wo can run It up to the boulevard
just by the old abandoned railway
bed," said he, "and thus compel the
company to move Its toll-gate beyond
the paik limits, for If they don't, then
everybody could drive over our road
and onto the boulevard for nothing.
Then we'll have a roatl and bridge of
our own, and the company can keep
theirs."
Should the company refuse to accept
the counter pioposltlon which the patk
commlsslo leis and paik committee will
undoubtedly offer, City Solicitor Vos
burg still contends that, despite Major
Warren's claims, he can compel tho
removal of the toll-gale beyond the
park limits.
He maintains that under the Act of
1SS9 the city has the right to control
her streets iind highways. The Boule
vard company has no right, he says, to
Interfere w 1th this municipal control,
except by express legislative author
ity. The Act of 1874, under which the
Boulevard company wns Incorpoiated,
does not confer express power upon It
to collect tolls within the city limits.
Therefore, says he, no such power ex
ists, ns It could not be Infeired In the
absence of nn express enntment.

1 bruit Jars and Rubbers
In order to cheapen the price of Fruit Jars, manufacturers
packed and shipped anything the blowers made. Did it ever
occur to you that the loss of one can of fruit through faulty jars
would be more than the difference in price of a dozen good
ones ? Why buy poor ones when the difference is only a few
cents? Mason and Lightning Jars, Rubbers, Extra Caps, Jelly
