On the return day of said venire, or on the day to which the proceedings may be adjourned, the court shall proceed to empanel a jury of twelve disinterested freeholders from persons so drawn and summoned. And if such jury cannot be found from the persons who shall attend upon such summons, or if so many of the persons summoned shall be excused or shall be rejected by the court upon challenge or otherwise that there shall not be a sufficient number left to constitute a jury, the court shall order the sheriff of said county forthwith to summon immediately other freeholders of the said city or county to attend as jurors, until a panel of twelve qualified jurors shall be obtained. In empaneling a jury the practice and proceedings shall be the same as in ordinary civil suits so far as practicable. Four peremptory challenges shall be allowed to the petitioner, and the respondents who are the persons interested in the abutting property and any street railroad company shall collectively be entitled to the same number. If any juror, after being sworn, shall die or become unable to discharge his duties, the court may appoint another qualified person to serve in his place, who shall be sworn and take his place upon the jury, or may, in its discretion, empanel a new jury.
