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.

ment for a new dial in the case of

A ii"W ttiul was also gianted lit tho

junk man. was likewise granted a new

Attorney ( f. Donovan yesteulay
piesented eight motions to tho court,
asking that eight otes cast for Jus
tice of the peace Iu bll township at
the spring election of a year ago, bo
declared legal.
