D., L. & W. Company to Tnko Awny Carbon Street Obstruction. Director nf Public Works Roche re ceived a letter yesterday from Chief Hnglneer McFurlan, nf tho Delaware, Lackawniina nnd Western cnnipnliy, announcing Hint tho stone abutment nil Cnibon stioet, just west oi i-eiin u venue, will bo removed hy the com pany next spilng. This nbiitineiit has long been n souico of tintible and nnnoyance to the travel ing public. It Is used to support n brnndi tinck, known ns tho "Dlnmond branch," which crosses tho stiect nt this point. The company now proposes to plan- steel girders fur tho track, i mining ft mil one sldo of the stioet to tho other, thus doing nvvny with the necessity of a support. Tho removal of this stone abutment will only monn tho lemoval ot n pait of tho obsttuctlons on Carbon sticot. In addition to tho abutment and ad joining It theto mo tin eo Iron columns supporting tho Hacks used by tho Scianton Coal company for handling the coal taken from tho Pine Ilrnok i olllory. The officials ot the coal com pany have piomlscd on previous occa sions to be guided lnigely by what the Ddawuto, Liu kit wanna and Western company does, nnd Dliector Rocbe be lieves that they will now agiee to le movo tho columns. There weie, In past years, u number of agitations started for the lemoval of these obstiuctlons, but they nil caino to naught, the councllmanlc com mittees who waited nn the company officials being met nlmost Invariably with n polite refusal.

A Tilbtine man asked a former city sollc Itor for nn opinion on tho subjci t V'Ktoidny', and was Informed that tho additional omition couiidlmoii from the oven numbeied wauls would scivo for a full tot in of two rurs. "Thoie inn bo no question about that," said he, "and this talk about them serving only until next sptlng Is tho veriest bosh. Those men weio elected lo 1111 places created hy tho now second-class dty laws, under which this dty came on Apill 1, and weio not elected to till vacancies. If they weio elected to 1111 acanties, then would be some icason In saving that they could scive only until next year, but they weio not."

Before Judgo J. W. Carpenter Yes terday the Company Produced Evi dence with a View to Convincing His Honor That tho Assessment on Certain Plccos of Property Owned by It Ought to Bo Reduced Mate rially City Will Offer Rebutting Testimony Today. Judgo J. W. Carpenter In court room No. 1! yesterday heard nn nppcal ot tho Lackawanna Iron & Steel company from the assessment of tho city and tounty assessors: on ccitnln pioperty In the Dlovonth nnd Seventeenth wards of this city which the company con tends Is too high. The contention Is based hugely on the fact that shops, mllM nnd furnaces have been practi cally abandoned by the company nnd nre being dismantled ns tapldly as pos sible. The properties on which the company nsks that the assessment be reduced follow: Sawmill anil offices, assess ment $1,000, want It cut to $1,000; blast furnace, $10"i,000 to $30,000; North Steel mill, $150,000 to $.".0,000; old engine houses, $19,200 to $12,000; mule barn $.",300 to $1,000. Tho nssessinonl for city nnd county purposes Is Identical ex cept ns to the blast furnace nnd North Steel mill. The former Is assessed for $130,000 for county purposes nnd tho latter for $200,000. A pattern shop li nssessed nt $3,500 for tounty purposes, which tho compnny nsks to have stricken off entirely, alleging that tho building was torn clown some time ago. It is not nssessed for city purposes. ATTORNKVS N T11D CASK. At esterdny's hearing the compnny was lopresented by Attorneys O'Urlen & .Martin and the city nnd county by City Solldtor Oeorgo M. Watson nnd County Solicitor II. L. Taylor. All of the ovldenii? on tho pnrt ot the com pany was put In yesteiday nnd today tho city will put on a number of real estate men who will testify to the aluo of the land nnd buildings which tho company says are assessed far be ond their value. The Ilrst witness examined yester day for the company was William F. Kelsel, who has charge ot the land mterets of the company. Ho went over the disputed properties In groat detail to ptove that the piescnt assess ment Is far to high as all of the build ings In question have been abandoned so far as manufactuilng purposes are concerned and aie now being dismant led ot will be In a shoi t time. With lefeieneo to the blast fuinaies he said that by tho end of the present year none of them will ho In operation nnd all will bo In couise of dismantling. Seveial of tho lite furnaces formetly used ate now dismantled. F. W. Ciciecke of the Finch Mann. faetuting company was called to tes tify to the present vnlue of the nia chineiy In the shops and mills of the company, tho assessment of whlebls In question and Contractor Conrad Schioeder gave evidence ns to tho present value of the buildings. PLANS OF THU COMPANY. Henry Wchiuni, tho general manager of the company, was i.illed and testl llcd to tho piescnt condition of tho buildings of the company In question nnd the futuie plans of tho company. He said that by the end of the pres ent year nothing will bo loft of the blast furnace and North mill. Some ot tho machine! y fiom these places Is be ing removed to Uuffalo, but the gieat cr part of It Is fit only for the scrap heap and Is being sold as old Iron. The company's side ot the case closed with Mr. Wehrum's testimony and tho case for tho city and county was then opened.
