AN IMMENBE SEWER.
Bids for Its Construction Considered
Imst Night.
Tho sowers and drains committee of
select council met Inst night In the city
clerk's office, and considered the bids
for the construction of a sewer system
In tho Fifth, Sixth, Fifteenth and
Eighteenth wards In the Nineteenth
Bower district, probably the largest
system for which n contract hns been
let In this city.
The sewer ns provided for in tho
plans and specifications Is to bo 62,536
feet long with 24,000 feet of house con
nections and tho total estimated cost
of City Engineer Phillips Is $148,938.62.
There nre thico bids, two of which
ate entirely too far above the engi
neer's estimate to be considered nt all.
These are tho bids of Homer & Qtilnn,
uf Philadelphia, and Petfr Hclley, of
Wllkos.Uarte, which nre $17S,5I0.8l und
$11)7,7113.50, respectively.
Tho only bid which comes below tho
engineer's ilgurc Is that of It. A. Mil
lone, of Lancaster, whose bid Is $146,
636.72, leaving a balance of $2,301.00 for
tho payment of Inspectors. The com
mittee didn't decide last night to rec
ommend tho awarding of the contract
lo anybody In particular deferring this
action until Just before council meeting
on Thursday night. It Is safe to as
sume, however, that the contract will
be awarded to Mr. Malono.
CAPTURED BY FILIPINOS.
John Jordan, of Wilkes-Barre, Is in
the Hands of Enemies.
"According to a dispatch received
from General lMncArthur, the crew of

on board the Olympla, Admiral Dewey's
flagship, and when that vessel left tho
Orient Mr. Jordan was transferred to

MAY BE CURE FOR
CONSUMPTION
Dr. George Benton Massey, of Phila
delphia, Tells of Successful Treat
ment of Tuberculosis.
By Exclusive Wire from Tho Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Oct. 1. Dr. George
Benton Massey, of, 1831 Chestnut street,
claims the discovery of a new method
of treating tuberculosis, and ho says
he has effected two absolute cures. In
speaking of the new method today, the
doctor said:
"My process Includes nn enforced
sterilization of the nlfected part. This
is accomplished by tho production of
the electrolytic salts of mercury In tho
midst of the geim colony. The salts
are then radiated through the sur
rounding diseased tissue from a gold
electrode by a mild current of elec
tricity. This operation must bo repeated at
least twice a week. A small puncture
Is made In the skin of the nock, under
a cooling spray, which deprives that
portion of the body of all sensation.
The opening is made with a sharp
needle directly over the enlarged gland.
"Through this opening a tiny gold
tube Is inserted, and through the tube,
which Is in reullty a hollow needle, a
drop of quicksilver Is Injected. This
quicksilver Is Immediately changed inti
electrolytic salts of mercury by the
application of a very slight electric
curient, which is passed through tho
needle. Tho salts are an antiseptic and
by the action of tho electric curient
are radiated through tho diseased area.
"This treatment will usually effect a
cure within six weeks. A deslrublo
feature of this method of treatment Is
the fnct that patients are not obliged
to desist from their ordinary duties."
Dr. Mnssoy recently explained his
method to tho electro-therapeutic so
ciety in Now York.

THE CITY HAS NOT
PROCEEDED LEGALLY
OPINION OF JUDGE ARCHBALD
IN POPLAR STREET CASE.
Says That Until tho City Takes tho
Proper Stops to Havo tho Street
Opened tho CoPipany's Rights
Must Bo Protected Construction
of Sewor Did Not Open tho Street.
City Given Thirty Days In Which
to Provide Tor Opening of Strcot
as Provided by Law.
Judge It. AV. Archbald, In an opin
ion handed down yesterday, on tho
existing differences between the Dela
ware und Hudson company und tho
city of Scranton, ttnent the Poplar
street crossing, decided that that
thoroughfare docs not extend across
the tracks of the company. Ho gives
tho city thirty days In which to take
the proper steps to open the street,
and says that If those steps are not
taken within that time, the restrain
ing injunction granted the company
will bo made permanent.
Tho facts In tho case are well known.
Tho city took steps to open Poplar
street across the Delaware and Hud
son tracks In order to afford means of
Ingress to the Scranton Bolt nnd Nut
works. Tho railroad company Imme
diately erected a fence Just tho other
side of the tracks, barring all en
trance to the Bolt and Nut company's
plant. This was torn down by order
of the mayor and was ugaln erected
by the company.
It was torn down a second time by
tho city and Is dovn at present. Both
the city and the company secured In
junctions restraining each from both
ering with the other. Both of these
wero disposed of and then court took
a hand, granting an Injunction, lo the
company, pending a decision to bo
given' after the submission of both
sides cif tho ease.
CITY'S CONTENTION.
The city's contention is that Poplar
sliuut already extends across the
tracks, inasmuch as on the maps of
the Lackawanna Coal and Iron com
pany ceding the land to the city, the
street crosses the Delaware and Hud
son right of way and also by reason
of tho fact that a sower has been con
structed, crossing this right of way,
and emptying into tho Lackawanna.
An ordinance has alieady passed both
councils and has been signed by the
mayor formally accepting the street
from the Lackawanna Coal and Iron
company, It having been thought that
this action alone would bo sulllcient to
establish at light of way across the
tracks.
Judge Archbald, in ills opinion, after
citing the facts In the case, contends
that the map referred to was for the
puiposo of description only and that
it Is not intended to limit the grant,
but merely to locate it and show the
surroundings.
The ordinance laying out the sower,
he says, accepts tno street as far as the
city is concerned, but the recognition
of this sewer by the company was not
necessarily an acceptance by It of tho
street on which it was laid. The per
mission to construct this sower was for
that purpose only and was not for tho
opening of a sixty-foot stteet across
the tracks.
"The city hns the right to repair
this sewer," says tho judge, "but no
larger privilege than this Is to be im
plied." The judge afTirms that the city has
a perfect right to open a street across
the right of way of the company, pro
viding the proper steps are taken.
These proper steps havo not been
taken, ho says, and therefore tho com
pany is entitled to havo Its rights pro
tected by Injunction. Continuing the
opinion says:
ACTION NOT SUFFICIENT.
It was suggested at the healing tint an ordi
nance would be put tlunugli councils lemedj
ing this, and the linal dh position of the cise
was defencd to allow- of its being done. 'Ihc
result, however, is a di-.ippolntment. The ordi
nance which was passed Aug. :il last amounts to
nothing in tint illicction. It consists inciely
of a rccitnl ut borne of the facts which bear
upon tho Mtuition, and a dcclaiatioii in opposi
tion lo the contention of the railroad company,
that tho klieet had been opened by virtue of
them. It would bo convenient, no doubt, to
dispose in this-.way of the controversy by which
the city is confronted, but it is not to bo done
by any such councilmanlc say-so. Nothing short
of that which Ins been pointed out above will
do. To penult the pioper bleps to bo taken
in case the city autlioilties, after filling of this
opinion, arc so inclined, the final decree will ba
defened a reasonable time; but unless they avail
themselves of this privilege' the Use of the
crossing in opposition to the lights of the rall
io.nl company must be restrained.
