ATTACKED ON
MANY GROUNDS
FIGHT AGAINST OLD FORGE
LIGHT CONTRACT.
Judge Carpenter Engaged in Hear
ing Tc&tlmony in tho Caso of Bur
gess Rees Against the Lackawanna
Electric Light, Heat and rower
Company It is Claimed the Ordi
nance and Contract Are Inegular
and That There Was Bilbeiy in
Connection with It.
Judge Carpenter, In equity court, Is
engaged In hearing testimony In the
injunction case brought by Burgess R.
Willis Rees, of Old Porgc, to restrain
the Lickavvanna. Ulectrlo Light, Heat
and 1'owcr company from ptocecdlng
with the Installation of an electric
light plant In that municipality.
On Januaiy S, 1901, the company
made a proposal to lljjht the boiough
at the late of JTL'.KO per year for arc
lights of 1'JS volts, and JJO per year for
Incandescent lights of 3J candle power.
On the sninu day the council nccepted
the pioposal. Burgess Bees vetoed tho
ordinance accepting the proposal nnd
leturned it, with his teasoiis for the
veto, so he alleges, at the next regu
lar meeting.
The council parsed the nrdiii.ncc
over the buigess' veto at the meeting
of I'ehruaiy I, 100), and diluted the
president of council to execute a con
tiact with the light company, which
was done. The company pioceeded to
Install an electric light plant and tho
burgevs went Into couit for an In
junction. A piellmlnmy Injunction
was granted with a lule to make It
peininnent, and on this rule evidence
Is now being taken. K. C. New comb
lepiesents the plaintiff and I. II. Bums
the defense.
The application for the Injunction Is
based on the allegations that the veto
and accompanying reason weie not
enteied In writing on the minutes ns
the law requites; that the ordinance)
was not legularly advertised; that the
ni dimmer and certificate of the secre
taiy were not teeorded In wilting in
the ordinance book, as the law re
quires, but entered by pasting In a
printed copy; that the contract was not
signed by th burgess, Mho, It Is
claimed, has the exclusive right to
execute uich nn Instrument; that no
attempt was tnade to secure competi
tive bids, nnd that tho passage of the
ordinance was tainted with btlhetj
The defense makes nnswer that the
buigess failed to return the vetneel
ordinance In time to make Its veto
opeintlve, thus allowing the measure
to become a law without his approval,
even though It had not been parsed
over his veto; that the power to exe
cute a contiact of this kind Is vested
In the councils nnd can be delegated
to any officer, tho piesldent of select
council being selected In this t.iso.
It is denied that the otdlnante was
not duly advertised and lecoided, that
mi competitive bids weie secured, and
that theie was any bribery In connec
tion with the passage of the ordinance.
Secretary J. J. Judge was the only
witness exnmlncd jesterdaj. He wan
examined In detail regarding the pin
ceedlngs lelntlvc to the passage of
tho ordinance.
He claimed the entries In the ordi
nance books w eio legularly made, at
tordlng to law, nnd pi evented the book
as conoboiation. The plaintiff will
try to show by Bulgers Rees, William
Hepp and otheis that the oidinance
was pasted in originally and that the
entiy In wilting was made after the
signing of the contiact. Sectetaiy
Judge also claimed there weie three
bids executed for the lighting contiact,
one from the Avoc.i companj, one fiom
tho Mooslc company and the other
fiom the Lackawanna company. Mi
New comb tiled to bring out that the
(list two bids were seemed seveial
months before the accepted one was
piofened and not consldeied as being
In competition with the latter Seeie
tnry Judge did not have the first two
bids with him and could not lemember
when they wete received.
The case will be pioceeeled with this
morning ami is likely to take up tho
whole day.
The eases of .1, r. Gilroy against
Kreem.ui Lamed ct al , and Benjamin
S. Robhihnn against the Scranton and
Plttfitnn Railway company weie con
tinued on account of the death of tho
lit other of Attorney If. M. Hannah,
who was engaged In both cases.
Dindofsky Got an Appeal. .
On petition of Attorney C, Ralentlno,
Judge Caipenter jesteiday made nn
older nllowlng an appeal fiom the
judgment of Alderman Ruddy, In the
tiiso of the commonwealth against
Adolph Dradofskv. and directing the
alderman to lemlt the fine of $9 00,
which ho imposed, providing Drodof
fky gives hall In the sum of $100 for
his appearance at the next term of
ciuaiter sessions. Dradofaky furnished
ball before Cleik of the Couits Dan
iels nnd got his money back from tho
nidi i man.
In his petition, Dradofsky .states
that John Wehner, wlio Is pto'ecut
'Ing him. In the enso In question, for
using obscene and vulgir language,

stance Sunday, August ;.", for pointing
llrtnnns. Wehner called him an oi
ptobtlotis name beeaiiFo he had woiked
on Saturday afternoon, which is cus
tomarily a holiday, nt the Pile shops.
He went to Welmer's homo to have
an understanding, and Wehner at
tempted to .shoot him
The case was to come befoio the
grand Jury yesterday. At 10 o'clock
last Mondn morning, Dradofsky was
arrested while at woik, on a warrant
swoin out by Wehner, charging him
with using vulgar and obsteno lan
guage on the Sunday the levnher In

hours, ft lends furnished hlni tho
amount of tho fine and Jail fees, and

Quarters for New Officials.
It hns been practically decided by
the county commissioners to locate tho
orphans' court dockets and flics In the
copying room, on tho ground floor, op
posite the register's office. There was
some talk of having the register and
cleik nf the quarter sessions exchange)
quarters, but tho register's office was
finally deemed too small to permit of
this
One of Pcglster Koch's clerks will
be assigned to the orphans' court
room, unit the other will be In the
register's room. As tho doors of the
tow rooms face each other, only twelve
feet apart, this nrrnngement will be
quite n convenient as If the offices ad
joined or weie located In the one room.

PAYMENT OF JUDGMENTS
City Solicitor Fiepnring List of Old
est Ones All Judgments So Not
Have to Be Paid Caminp; Year.
City Polic Itor Watson Is busily en
gaged these days In carefully going
over tho Judgments outstandlngagalnst
the city, for the put pose of ascertain
ing Just which ones are the oldest, nnd
therefore those which must be ilrst
paid out of this year's appropriation ot
?lfi 000.
The work entails a vast amount of
time and patience, but the solicitor and
bis assistants have now nearly finished
and expect to be able to report to
councils In the near futuie the list of
judgments which should tlrst be paid.
As soon as be has completed this
undei taking, It Is the Intention of the
solicitor to piepare a Judgment docket
for use in his otllce. This docket Is to
contain a complete list of all judg
ments entered against the tlt, with a
lecord of the date on whlth they me
satllled, and Is to be kept light up to
date, it will be as complete us the
lecord In the prothnunt.iry't ofllte, and
will do away with the necessity ot
rummaging through old letords eveiy
time Information legarillng any pai
tltular Judgment Is lequliecl.
A gient many ot the councllmen have
been labeling under the Impression
that a lump sum of $100,000 or theic
nbouts would have to be provided for
In net yeai's appropriation ordinance
for tho panient of Judgments out
standing against the city. If there had
been no "chaser" to the lipper bill
passed this would have to bo done, but
the "chaser" wipes out that section of
the lipper bill whlth made this manda
toiy. The lipper bill prnvldtd that all
judgments tecovcieel against nnd pa
able by the cltv should be immediately
leportecl by the city solicitor to coun
cils and that nn amount sullltlcnt for
the pa;,ment thereof should be raised
In the next levy of taxes. It further
provided that these Judgments should
be paid In the order of their priority
out of the fhst moneys received by
the city treasurer, and gave the plain
tiffs In suih judgments the right to
enforce compliance w Ith the law by
mandamus oi other pioper legal pro
toss. This entlie section was stile ken out
of the tipper bill by the "chaser."
Councils have still, of touise, the right
to npptopilnte a sutlledent sum this
mining yenr for the pament of Judg
ments, but such appropriation Is not
made mandntoiy.

Is in the County Jail,
Wojeck Muhy, of River street, Oly
phnnt, lies at his homo with a badly
fractured skull, ns the tcstitt ot an

the dispute to a sudden end by strik

Mis. Kvnnltsky Is now In the county
Jail nnd must await tho irsult nf
Mtihy'K Injuries to find whether she
will be given trial on the charge ot
niuuV'f or felonious wound) tig Or
Crnns, of Olyphant, Is In nttendaucp
on the Injuicil man, and says that
while he seems nt present to he mak
ing favorable progress, that It Is still
very early to make any predictions.
Complications may nrlse which will
bring tho affair to a fatal teimlnatlon
The fractute Btistnlned was a grave
one. the fiont ot the skull being shat
tered by the blow. Itoth Muhy and
Mrs. Uvanltsky are married and aie
tenants ot H. Rosenfcld, the Olyphant
merchant.
Severnl ot his hotises aie situated In
the same lnige yaid, In the rear of his
place of business, and the Muhy and
Kvanitsky domiciles are almost side
by side. Sunday's quart cl and assault
were witnessed by a large number of
the neighbors, piaetlcally all of whom
tell the same story, to the effect that
.Muhy tlrst slapped Mrs. Rvanltsky and
that she then struck him with the
club
Mtthv, It seems, had been drinking
heartily. It Is also said that Mrs.
Kvanltsky had also drunk from tho
cheering bowl. Muhy, according to the
(dories told by the neighbors, quar
reled with his wife throughout the
morning nnd shoitly before his fracas
with the other woman beat her se
erely. Mrs. llvnnltsky bearing Muhv
abusing his wife, finally came out of
her house about 10 :!0 o'clock, and tak
ing the p.irt ot Mis. Muhy, lnfotjiied
the husband In exceedingly blunt lan
guage ot her opinion of his conduct.
It was far fiom a flattering opin
ion and Muhy resented It by telling his
neighbor to attend to mattcis which
concerned her and lenve other people's
nffaltH alone, lie followed this by
calling her a choice assot tment ot
opproblous names, and the Evanltsky
woman came back at him with like
Billingsgate. Their voices lose higher
and higher In anger, and finally, the
neighbors say. Muhy gave Mrs. Evan
ltsky n powerful blow In the face.
Prantlo with momentary pain and
lage, the woman looked around for a,
weapon, and close to her hanel lay the
very piece of wood with which Muhy
had chastised his wife but a short
while befoie. She seized It and swing
ing It above her head with both nuns
hi ought It down with tcnlflc force on
Muhy's skull.
He fell like a log and was removed
Into his home. Mrs. Evanltsky was
taken before Justice of the Peace Ma
son, of Ulakely, for a hearing and com
mitted to the county Jail by him.
Muhy lested easily at his home yes
let day.
