LISt WAS CLEANED UP ARGUMENT COURT CAME TO AN END YESTERDAY. Argument with Reference to the Ablngton Turnpike Condemnation Proceedings Completed The Mat ter of the Annexation of Part of Lackawanna Township to Taylor Waa Also Discussed Woelkera Casa Postponed Until the Next Term Names Ordered Stricken t rem Petition. Atgumcut court closed yejsteidny, all of the cases on the llHt living disposed of before court adjourned In the after noon. In the morning1 the arguments were resumed upon the exceptions to the appointment of muster and Jury to view In the matter of tho condem nation ot Provldento nnd Ablngton Turnpike and 1'Ianlc Uoad comiuiny. The petition was filed last year by ienator J. C. Vaughnn, representing a huge number of taxpayers who signed It. Prolrata were filed iy tho North ern Boulevard company, the Ablngton Turnpike company, tlie County of Lackawanna and certain taxpayers of South Ablmrtou who aro opposed to the condemning of tbe load. The ob jectors were represented yesterday by Attorneys W. W. Wutson, W. It. Dlehl, Ira II. Hurnt nnd County Solicitor Herbert Taylor, while tho petitioners were represented solely by City Solic itor Vosbuig, Senator Yaughan being In Harrlsbuig. The objoctois aigtted that inasmuch as similar proceedings had been brought some years ago nnd had then been quashed, new pioceedlngs could not be begun. It was further contend ed that tho Northern Houlevard com pany has leased the turnpike nnd that roads operated by boulevard companies aro not subject to condemnation pro ceedings. Mr. Vosburg In teply argued that objections to the appointment of a Jury could not be heard at this time, as the act of assembly distinctly re quires their appointment when a peti tion has been ptesented In proper foitn. Tho ptlnclple of res Judleet did not np ply, he said, for the reason that the proceeding was brought under the au thotlty of tho state and was not an action between ptlvate patties. Thei wus nothing In the boulevard net, ho said, which piecluded the application of tbe condemnation laws to such a company. Aiguments were beaiel on the ex ceptions and remonstances to the an nexation of n large pail of Lacka wanna township to the borough of Taylor. W. J. Hand, representing- tho Connell Coal company, piotested against tho annexation on tho ground that the burden of taxation which would havo to be borne by the remain der ot the township would lie too heavy. Attorney M. J. Donahoe alfo argued agnlnst the annexation. Attorney John M. Harris, represent ing Taylor liototigh, argued In fax or of the annexation and stilted that eveiy free holder but one In the part to be annexed had signed the petition. Tho decision In the case, It Is ex pected, will be tendered next month. Aiguinent was made In the matter of the rule to iiiiiihIi the Indictment In tho case of Frank Compton, who is charged with having forged a mar riage certificate. There was a long argument on tho exceptions to the leport or auditors In the. matter of the estate of John AV". Itituli. In the matter e,f rule to set aside teinllinmtlon of account in the estate ot the late James W. Kverhatt, the nils was dlschaiged without pre judice. Hv U'iiiesl of counsel tin the Muni cipal League, the lttle on Constable Joseph Woelktrs to show cutixt; why be should tint bj icmoved, wus con tinued until the !vxt term nl" court. They suhl they thought a continuance of the proceedings might best sub serve tin Interests of tie taxpayer ot tho wt'i'il. 'Names Stricken Oft. There was a hearing yesterday In tho matter of the hlgnaltites of M. Schwartz;, JoM-ph Swam, Heniy Schmulotltz und Anthony Schmulo vitz, whoso nauius appear on the peti tion asking for a contest In tho Klglttb ward to determine, the legally elected constable of the Klghth ward. Jt was shown by most convincing f pioof that the names of the utsjve at tached to th" petition do not resemble the slgnntui os of the men In question and their names were by older of the court stilekon fiom the petition. It was evident they had been forged. Some time tigo the court made tin or der directing that the cojts of this contest .should be paid by the petl-tlonei? New Trials Granted.
