City Solicitor Goorgo M. Watson, yes
terday illcd the answer of the city In
the Injunction case ot the Scranton
Gnq & Water company against A. H.
Coon & Son, John E. Roche, director
of department ot public works und the
city of Scranton. It follows
The defendants' now, and at all times
hereafter, reorInB to themselves all
hcncilt and aihantago of exception which
tan bo bad or taken to the many errors
nnd uncertainties and other imperfec
tions In tho plaintiff's bill of complaint
contained, for uniwor thereunto, or unto
so much and such parts thereof aa tho
defendants nro advised Is or nro material
or necessary for It to make answer unto,
answering, Bays:
Wo deny that tho plaintiff has tho au
thority to enter upon tho streets of tho
defendant,, tho city of Scranton, and fo
use the tame as to compel the defendant,
tho city of Scranton, to Iny out largo
mims of money to Improve said streets,
or to cast any additional expense upon
the defendant, tho city of Scranton, in
improving said streets or laying pipes
therein for tho benefit of tho people of
the bald city of Scranton.
Wo further deny the right of tho de
fendant to enter upon tho streets and
highways of tho city of Scranton nnd
monopolize or so use tho streets of tho
city as to in anywise intcrfcro with tho
municipal Improvements which tho city
desires to make upon said streets, with
out first halng permission of tho au
thorities of tho city to so occupy said
streets.
DENY AUTHORITY.
Wo deny tho authrlty claimed by the
plaintiff subsequent to the plaintiff ac
cepting tho terms of tho net of 1S74, to
enter upon the streets (at that tlmo
known as Stone avenue and Front
street), and lay pipes thereon; said pipes
hn.vlnir been laid subsonucnt to. tho ac
ceptance of the terms of tho act of 1874
by tho plaintiff, without permission
granted to tho plaintiff by the defendant
to occupy the streets with its pipes, or
to enter upon said streets and lay the
pipes claimed to be now lawfuly laid be
neath tho surfneo of said streets.
Wo further deny that said pipes de
scribed in the thltd paiagr.iph of plain
tiff's bill were carefully located or piop
crly located, said pipes being laid In a
careless manner and located without re
gard to street lines, running diagonally
across said streets from a westerly to
an easterly dliection at one point on f-aid
Fiont street, nnd at another point run
ning from an easterly in a westerly dl
iection across s lid street, and at such
angles, that so much of tho said streets
are occupied by plaintiff's pipes that it Is
impossible to pa--s down said street at
anv point within its entire width without
coming In contact with the pipes of tho
plaintiff, thereby preventing tho lalng
of wild hewei, unless plaintiffs re-locate
their water pipe.
It is true that on or about the 2"ith day
of July tho defendants, A. H. Coon and
Holton G. .Coon, wore constructing n
sower along tho line of Front street un
der a contract with the defendant, the
eltv of Scranton, nnd under the super
vlslon or direction of the director of pub
lic woiks, John V. Roche. That the de
fendant, the city of Scranton, had a law
ful right to contract for tho construc
tion of said sewer with A. H. Coon and
his son, Bolton G. Coon, and that it is
neccssiiy for tho public good and tho
ho-iUh and eniojment of tho people te
slrilng along tho line of said sewer, and
diicotly on tho line of Front street, on
which said sewer is being constructed, to
construct said sewer, in order that they
might bo relieved of accumulations of
filth, said sewer being absolutely neccs
saiy to cany of tho accumulations of
tilth in that locality nnd that the health
of tho community through which said
sewer passed might not be Jeopardized.
HAVE NOT INTERFERED.
Wo deny that tho city of Scranton, de
fendant, or any of tho other defendants,
havo commenced interfering with said
pipes and endangering tho same, but, on
tho contrary, have requested tho plaintiff
o remove said pipes so that defendants
might contlnuo to construct tho sower in
accordance with tho plans and specifica
tions along the line of said street.
It is true that tho authorities of tho
defendant, the city of Scranton, were no
tified that tho plaintiff, tho Scranton Gas
nnd Water company, would relocate or
move tho pipes in question, providing that
tho plaintiff would bo indemnified for tho
damago sustained in so doing.
Wo deny the right of tho plaintiff, tho
Scranton Gns and Water company, to
Impose terms or to demand indemnity for
any damages that tho plaintiff may sus
tain by relocating water pipes in tho
Btiects of tho city of Scranton, tho de
fendant, and submit that tho control nnd
management of tho streets nro vested in
the director ot tho department of public,
works and tho city councils nnd city re
corder, nnd that no person can occupy
said streets for private purposes without
llrst having obtained from tho city au
thorities permission to occupy them, nnd
that since tho net of April 20th, 1S74, tho
, 'water pipes on tho street known as Front
street In tho city of Scranton have been
placed thoro by tho plaintiff, tho Scran
ton Gas nnd Water company, without tho
permission of the authorities of tho city
of Scianton having been first obtained,
nnd tho defendant, tho city of Scranton,
Is not linblo for any damago that tho
Plaintiff may Hiistuln by reason of re
locating said pipes in tho streets.
Wo deny that tho defendants, tho city
of Scranton, or any of them, aro tin eat
enlng to destroy tho pipes of tho plain
tiff, or to ronder them dangerous to tho
city nnd useless to tho plaintiff, nnd
deny tho right of the plaintiff to require
Indemnifying bondi beforo tho defendant
can proceed to removo said pipes, bnt,
on tho contrary, claim tho right to com
pel tho plaintiff to placo tho water pipes
on Front street, at their own oxponso, in
such a location as may bo designated by
the defendant, tho city of Scranton, nnd
aver that In the event of tho plaintiff re
fusing to change or rolocato sold pipes,
that tho city of Scranton is empowered
by its charter to removo sold plpos,
causing os little Injury as possible to tho
property of the plaintiff, so that tho work
ns provided by ordinance, tho building of
said Hewer, may be completed with as lit
tle inteiiuptlon as possible.
ACCEPTED THE ACT,
We deny that orator's pipes were laid
In pursuance of the act appproved Match
18th, 1651, but contend that tho same wero
laid In pursuance of tho act approved
29th day of April, 1874. which said net
was accepted by tho plaintiff company on
the 18th day of January, 18fl3 talcl act
authorizing only such a use of the streets
by a water company as not to Interfere
with any right tho municipality might
hae in salt) streets; and if the construc
tion of a water company's pipes Interfere
vith tho building of i sewer on the said
streets, the water pipes must be removed
nt the expense of the water company, )n
ouler that the sewer can be built.
We deny that we are depriving or at
tempting to deprive the orator of a right
to we his property, in violation of Arti
cle II of the amendments to the Consti
tution of the United States, but simply,
request the orator tq so relay his ,plpes

ns to not interfere with the piopcr use
nnd enjoyment of said street by the mu
nicipality in tho construction qf a sower.
It Is denied that tho city of Scranton
has not, by ordinance confeiicd upon tho
defendant, tho authotlty to causo tho
pipes of tho orator to be icmocd, and
aver that tho provlsons of a lawful oidt
nnnca of the city, providing for the con
struction of a sewer upon said streets, aic
being curled out In accordanco with tho
terms of said ordinance; and that oia
tor's pipes aro located In such a manner
as to make their removal necessary in
order that tho sower may be laid In ae
coi dance with the provisions of said ordi
nance. We deny tho allegations set forth in
the thirteenth patagraph of plaintiff,
bill, and aver that tho legislature of
Pennsylvania, has given authority to the
city of Scranton to cause the removal of
oiator's pipes as laid upon Front street
and Stone avenue, in the city of Scian
ton, said pipes not being properly located
by the ouitor, and being so laid as to
lnterfero with tho proper drainage of said
stieet, thereby Intel fering with tho con
stiuctlon of said sewer and jeopardizing
tho health of the community tluough
which tald pipes pass.
Wo deny the facts set forth in tho
fourteenth paragiaph of plaintiff's ball,
and aver th.it said sower could not luuo
been planned without gient additional ex
penso so as to hue molded the removal
of or.itoi's pipes; that the entire width
of Fiont ..street being occupied by tho
oiator's pipes, it would be impossible to
pass down Fiont htreet nnn locate tho
sower at a giado which would cairy off
tho sewage, without so Intel fering with
oiator's pipes as to compel their remoal;
that it was not within tho power of the
defendants to ascertain tho location of
tho orator's pipes at a time subsequent
to the building of tho server; that tho
orator's pipes weie laid subsequent to tho
passage of tho ordinanco authorizing tho
construction nnd the location of the
sewer upon Front street, and that said
sewer could not bo constructed after tho
laying of tho oiator's pipes on Front
street to cany out tho purposes lor which
it is being constructed without tho le
moval of tho orator's pipes.
AVo deny that if tho defendants aro nl
lowed to proceed with said work thut lr
reparablo injuiy will ho dono to tho
plaintiff's property, and if injury bo dono
to plaintiff's property wo submit that
there Is adequate lemedy ut law.

THE MARKETS
Wall Street Review.
Now York, Aug. 19 Thcro was more
shaics of stock sold on tho exchange to
cl.i. than jcsteiday, dealings lising again
oer tho half million shnio m.iiket. The
maikct took on a tali appeaiauco of av
eiage stiength but an anal j sis will show
that the gains in tho majotity of usually
active stocks aic ti actional while tho
really stilklng gains mo confined to a
few spots In the maikct. Tho dealings
weio hugely In piotesslonal hands and
weie supposed to reflect tho opciutlons
of speculative pools, Including some of
tho piominent capitalists of tho country.
Tho situation of u flail was not mnte
lially changed ftom that of jc-tcrday
and tho now demonstiatlon of strength
was Diiscct laigely on tno upproachlng le
ttun to New Yoik of J. P. Moigan,
which has caused a lcnowal ot many
long cm tent lumois of financial pio
jects and lalhoad deals, which aio sup
posed to await his action to bo put Into
forco Tho most piominent of theso In
its effect upon the speculation is "tho for
mulation of a plan for contiol of Louis
lllo and NnshIIIe. Theio seems a faiilv
general agi cement that this plan will
take the foim of a guaianteo of a divi
dend on Louisvlllo and Nashville, com
monly supposed to havo been fixed at 7
per cent. Tho movement led by Louis
vlllo mado Itself felt In other southern
stocks, notably Illinois Centinl and Nash
llle, Chattanooga nnd St. Louis Nor
folk and Western nnd Chesapeake and
Ohio weio also supposed to dcilvo some
benolit tiom this cause, although tho ad
nnco in Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio pointed to speculation on tho soft
coal unfile, A settlement of tho coal
stillto and a decision on the question of
tho president of tho United States Steel
cmpoiation aio also supposed to await
Mi, Morgan's action. The upwnid move
ment In Southern Pacific was nggiesslvuly
lenowed todny for tho Hist tlmo since tho
announcement of tho pioposed $100,000,
000 moitgngo to provldo funds for bot-
toimcnts. This movement was also as
sociated with tho homcwuid bound move
ment of a well known speculative leader
wno nas opoiaieci iiugoiy in it in tuo past,
Canadian Pacific and Its subsidiary com
panies foim another center which radi
ated stiength and tho gossip to account
for tho ilso pointed to cffoits bv that
company to scout a an cntinnco Into
Chicago, The Httength of Wisconsin
Cential and of tho Chlcaso Teimlnnl
stocks seemed duo to tho same tumor.
Theio weto various other points of
stiength In tho market, hut all seemed to
bo caused by special leasons, A violent
bteitk of (i points In Colntado Fuol fol
lowed a suggestion that tho Htiugglo for
contiol of tho piopotty might thtow it
Into tho hands of a teeclvet, Tho stock
