This Information was received by the olli

It was thought tho Cristobal Colon was tho

It is not improbable that much of tho en

Vizcaya is understood to bo not irreparably
damaged. The Cristobal Colon is believed to

Upper Story Bay Windows, the Court Says,

Which Are Free to All and

Tho bay window injunction suit In which
James J. Franey is defendant is one of tho
most interesting ioeal litigations that have
attrac ted the attention of tho public for
some tiino. Interest iu tho mattor was not
ilono due to the prominence of tho narties

poilanco of tho issue, it is tho first case
fiom the town iu which there has been a
legal adjudication on the rights of property
owners to build outside tho lines of their
properties, and for that reason the decision of
tlio court, which was given briefly in yester
day's IIi:bali, is published in full. It is as
follows :
In the Court of Common Pleas of Schuyl
kill County. Sitting In Equity.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, ex rela
tione Henry C. McCormick, Attorney General
Complainant vs. James J. Franey. No. 5 July
Term, lSU-i.
Itule to show causo why au in I unction
should not bo granted.
The above rule was granted on Information
of tho Attornoy-Geueral of this Common
wealth 111 tho natuio of a hill in eciuitv on
behalf of the Commonwealth against Jamoh
J. l rauey, defendant. Tho defendant is the
owner of a lut of ground situate on the
northwest comer of Maiu and Lloyd streets
in thu liurough of Shenandoah, the
said lot being thirty feet wide
lacing on the west side of Main
street and extending along Lloyd street one
hundred and fifty feet, on which is erected a
paillynew building occupying the entile
wmui on Main sheet and about eightv feet
on Lloyd street. Ou the second story of
sain luiililing Uelcndant has put thrco jut or
nay windows extending into Lloyd street
aljout four feet. One window is nine feet
eleven inches iu width, another nine feet
niuo inches, aud the third thirteen feetthiee
and one-half inches in width. Defendant is
also about to erect on tbo first story two
bulk windows extending out into Lloyd
street about four feet. Ono of these windows
is twenty feet wide and tho other is twenty
four feet wide. He has al-o erected a stair
way four feet wide 011 tho Lloyd street side
of the house from the ground floor to the
second story. Lloyd street is fifty feet wido
and is one of tlio principal highways in said
bototigh. All of said windows and tho stair
way encroach upon tho sidewalk of said
Lloyd street.
Tlio complainant prays for an ordor to
abate and remove said three windows aud
tho stairway, and for an order restraining
the defendant from crectlug said two bulk or
bay windows on tho first floor of said build
ing. In tho light of the evidence taken at the
hearing thoro can bo no dispute about the
correctness of tho facts as abovo stated.
It was not shown tint any ordinance oxists
iu tlio ISorough of Shenandoah regulating
bay or hulk windows or stairways on tlio
sidewalks, nor that tho defendant obtained
municipal consent for erecting the windows
and stairway aforesaid. Thoro was a bay
window for some years 011 tho Lloyd street
side of tho old building Author back from
Main sheet than the present windows. That.
tho said windows and stairway interfero to
some extent with the air, light aud viow can
not bo doubted.
Tho defendant InsLsts that this suit was
ucgun at the instance of nrivatu nnrsnna

Folmer, and 011 tho autliorifv of Wilson v
