Irvin. W. IHMoner DECISION HANDED DOWN BY JUDGK ARCHBALD OF LACKAWANNA COUNTY. An Important coal cult ha Just been decided in Lackawanna. County, Involving some question of law and a conslderabl" sum of money.

It waa an equity case of Jermyn A Ca against. Elliott, McClure and Judge Arebbald, In a forty-pagj opinion, rendered a decision In favor of the defendant It la a suit involving coal valued At over ROO.OOO, and grew out Of a parole exchange of coal lands. Th land in question I located Old Forge Township, near the Taylor Borough Una. In lsK Jermyn ft Co. earns into possess loo of a tract of land lying on both aldee of St.

John' Brook. Elliott, Me-Clure A Co. were at that time operating the Sibley colliery and owned also land on both aides of the brook. The plaintiff's land en th west side of the brook waa twenty acres In extent. The defendants land on the opposite side of the brook was about 100 acres In extent An exchange of these Plots waa considered end confer, encee were held to bring the trade about.

Because of a "dip" and the wet nature of workings that would be run underneath the brook It was figured that it would be mutually advantageous If neither company would cross the brook. Elliott McClure A Co. proceeded to mme coal from the Jermyn A Co. K0-acr plot Jermyn A Co. likewise, proceeded to mine from the defendant neighboring twenty-acre tract tin tasi Jermyn A Co.

notified Elliott, Mc. Clure A Co, to cease mining on the 1A0-acre plot, but no heed was paid to th order, and Jermyn A Co. brought aq equity suit to restrain the other company from further mining on their tract and to com pel them to pay for 100,000 tonsoof coal whlch.lt waa alleged had up to that time been moved. The defendant company made answer that they were mining under the parole exchange mentioned above, ihe case was submitted to W. W.

Lath-rope, as master and examinee. In 18M he submitted a report euetalning the contention of the plaintiff, in the main. but the defendants have ac(ed in good faith, according to his v)w, they should be permitted to have th right to maintain their pumpe and-ether -fixings on- the -plaintiffs' premises and to enjoy other pr'vllege. the denial of which cause them great Inconvenience and expense. He fixed $8,900.41 as the amount the defendants should pay for the coal they had taken out Judge Archbald takes an entirely different view of the case, Be sustains the defendants' contention hst there waa a parole exchange and As ctrcumste.ice going to prove this be cites the fact that Jermyn A Co.

entered upon nnd mined from the defendants twenty-scre tract. The plaintiffs had admitted this, but alleged that It wa aim ply a case of mining out of bounds by mistake. Judge Arch-bald says -the character of the mining does not tend to confirm, thl allegation. vioa ana itruiuv. uu.

waa located near the renervotr. At this colliery waa a washery. 1 This re. quired a great supply of water in its speratlon and from the reservoir this Supply was taken. The walla of the dam were made strong and to all appearances the water was sufficiently sreQ dammed ap to remain so for ages.

The reservoir, however, was under mined. The mine of Holllster Bow. man had been driven back under the reservoir and It was a perfect honey- comb of gangways, chambers and the I like beneath the water. This fact was well known. The miners who dug the coal mslde knew of the water above; the mine foreman and superintendent, ft ts were also aware of Jt Efforts were, made to support the tree weight by leaving pillars stand-ins; at frequent Intervals, Had these pillar been left as they were originally they would have supported the great mass of water.

The miners, however, as Is so often done with disastrous results, robbed the pillars until they were unable to stand the strain and they gave way, the bottom out of the reservoir and the great flood to pour Into it The result of this -will be a great pecuniary loss to both Holllster Bow-man and the Broofceide Coal besides throwing hundreds of men and boys out of employment anta the damage ean be repaired. It la not known whether or not the reservoir will have to abandoned, but It is probable that It will, and a new one will have to be constructed.
