Forty-Seven Opinions Handed Down by the Slate Supreme Court, ALLFROHTHE WESTERN COUNTIES, Many Important Case? Argned Yesterday, Anions Them That of THE SALE OP THE CiTI POOE PARM The Supreme Court room was crowded with attorneys and others desirous of hoar inr the arguments in the case of Straub vs the city of Pntsburjr, Much is commonly known as the Poor Farm case. This case was specially listed for yesterday, and con tequectly was the first case taken up. The history of this case, which is an appeal from the decee o" Common Plc3s So. 2, is an action of Charles I.. Straub to restrain the city of Pittsburg from selling the present Poor Farm. The claim set up is that the Iditn is not the property of tbe city of Pitts-bu-g, but of the corporation, the Guardians for the Ifehef and Employment of the Poor ot tbe City of Pittsburg, which holds the legal title to it as the representative, not of the corporation, the city of Pittsburg, but of the .ah iDitants and citizens of the uoor district of the city of Piitsburs, and on that ground the citj of Pittsburg has no authority or power to dispose of it. Also, on the ground that it cannot be sold or dis posed of bv tl.e Guardians of tbe Poor ex cept under the supervision and direction of the Court of Common Pleas No. 2, as pro vided by the act of April 28, 1S87, entitled "An act to authorize the Courts ol Common Pleas to decree the sale of real estate held for poor purposes in the several counties, boroughs, townships and poor districts in this Commonwealth, and the reinvestment of the proceeds thereof," provisions of which are alleged to have not been complied with. TWO POINTS OP AEGUSIEM. The argument was made by XT. "W. Thompson. Esq., who contended there were two poiutc: First, whether the City of Pitts burg has a legal right to sell the grounds uea as a poor farm: and, second, if it has such power, is tbe mode in which it is attempting to exercise that power the lawful mode required b the act of Assembly. Mr. 1 hompson argued that tbe Court below committed an error in having ignored his point that the title to the Poor Farm was still in the Guar dians of the Poor, and that the city ana its Councils had no authority; Deside this, the act of 1SS7 giving the Court the power to make the sale indicated that the decree of the Court Mas necessary before the sale could be made. The act ot June M, 1887, riid not interfere or derogate from the former act, and the Court below erred in holding that it did. Major Moreiand represented tbe city, while Knox Reed and 1) T. atson appeared for M I. Baird, n bo purchased tbe property and since sold to Carnegie & Co. Major Moreland's arcument was an exhaustive one, and dealt minutely with tlio arguments set up by Mr. Thompson. If Guardians of the Poor were a separate organization why did the State grant tbe city absolute control of the board by giving Councils of tbe cm tbe selection of them all? The act of June. 18b7. bad abrogated that part of the act of April cited as the order of court, and the sale was therefore perfectly legal and proper. Major Moreland concluded his argu ment by stating that the sun had some ulterior purpose whicn pleadings do not disclose. ANOTHEB CELEBRATED CASE. The appeal of Julia Mary Mitchell from the decree of Orphans' Court was next taken up, T. C Lazear representing the appellant. This is the celebrated lost heiress case, wherein Julia Mary Mitchell claims to be the long-lost daughter of Thomas Sheehan, a well-known Sharpburg resident, who died some time ago. 1 he history of this case is a very long one, and one that largel touches on the romantic. In lboo a child was born to lhonias Sheehan and Mrs. Ann Beat, a widow. The child Has given to Garrett Gibbons and wife. Mrs. Gibbons beinga sister of Thomas Sheehan. The Gib bous familv was then living near Saltsburg, but mbequently moved out West, to Keokuk. la. Meanwhile, in 185i, Thomas bbeehan and Mrs. Beat were married. and S'ime ten years later endeavored to find their child, but failed. Sheehan died in lbST. and by reason of an article published in tbe newspapers, Julia Mary Mitchell, who na then liwug in New Castle, appeared in Sharpsburgand proved to the satisfaction of Mr-, fcheehan that -he was the long lostaaugh ter. The girl then appealed to the Orphans' court for the establishment of her identity, and to claim her part as a legal heir of Thomas fcheelian. A lone trial followed, and the de cision of the court was against the olaim of Julia Marj Mitchell. In his argument. Mr. Lazear stated that ir Mary Sheehan i- living it cannot be denied that she i en ltled to her share of the estate. It was testified bj Garret Gibbons that Mary Sheehan, who had been conned to his care, had died in childhood, and on that testimony the Court below lound against the appellant and lecreed a distribution to others among them is .Michatl Gibbons, a son of Garrett Gibbons. This testimouy should mere-fore be taken with great care, in view of the relations existing be t een the two. ONE CONSIDERATION ADMITTED. Mr Lazear stated that after a leview the case admits of no other conclusion than that Garrett Gibbons deliberate! perjured himself in his statements regarding the death of Mary bliP'han, and leads to a conviction amounting t a certainty, that she was in fnll life when Mrs. Gibbons died, and the faniilv, in conse quence ol her death, became broken up a.id -catterciL In that case, what became of Mary hl'eehan? Garrett Gibbons did not provide fur her, and she fell into other hands, and Julia Mart Mitchell is bejnnd donbt that child. The remainder of the argument was a strong presentation of Miss Mitchell's claims, lroiu iier similarity to the deceased, and of the testi mony ot her dpad motuer in acknowledging her a- her daughter on account of her birthmark. nieappelli.es were represented bvH.S. Will iams, Esq.. who, at the requestof Chief Justice 1'axson, made no repl Charles Augerstem s Jones A Laughlins. ap pellants trom Common Picas No. L was rext xiken up This case is one for damages.

The jury awarded a verdict oi 51,000 The assignments f error ate that the court oelon erred in al lowing certain lestimom forthe plaintiff '1 he appeal of the Jefferson Gas Companv from Common Pleas No. 2 was the next argu ment taken up. The case is an appeal from the deci'ion of the court compelling it to pay witness fees, etc. in a case where damages wire awarded exceeding the sum set by the IJnardof Viewers on the ground of James Mc Glbbnn, in Baldwin tonnchio The ap.iea! of James Butler from Common Pleas No 1 was argued by V. K. Jennings, JL-q The action in this case was brought to lccoier damages from the Pittsburg and Bir inlngliim Passenger Hallway Company. The IHalntiff is a boj, 13 jears'old. Theboy.it f-eeius, was riding on the front end of the car. ui.d near South 1 hirteeuth street, he was struck bj a mortar box. and knocked off, tbe front wheel passing over his leg 1 he boy had not rsyetpaid his Tare, but intended to do so. Chief Justice 1'axson immediately affirmed tbe finding of the lower court, because no bill of exceptions had been hied, which was necessary to bring up the evidence. Aforney Jennings said that he would file a bill of exceptions and Justice Paxson stated that in case that was done he would take off the affirmation. OTHFR APPEALS TAKEN UP. The appeal of the heirs of John F. Jennings from Common Pleas No. 2 was next called up. The case was an action in ejectment to recover a tract of land in Plum township. The ar-m-ment was made bj W. K. Jennings. Eq. " Tbe appeal of the Kelly i Jones Company from Common Tleas No 1 was the last argu ment of the day. This sjit grew out of the construction of works it Huff's station on the Southwest branch of tlie Pennsylvania Railroad. The contractor was John Huckestein and the contract read that the building was to be fin ished within a specihed time or the contractor would suffer a forfeiture of $100 per day. The building was not finished in time, tbe reason being that a side track on which the material was to be conveyed was neter laid and a great los or time was therohj ciused The jury below found for the contractor in the amount cHimed and the appeal is from said rinding. lo-day's argument list is as follows: I.atlmere vs.ioetrlnfrcr, itallei t al vs Pltts burpCoal KallroTi Compan, llltnfrer & Jones.

N'eprly Tifty of Them Altogether All but Two From the Western District No Allegheny County Cases Decided Gist of the Most Important Ones. At the opeuing of the Supreme Court yes terday 47 opinions were handed down, each of the Justices contributing his share. Forty five of the cases were from the Western dis trict, and have been argued during the pres ent sitting. Tbe other two were from the Eastern district. None of the cases decided were from Allegheny county. Illustrative of the amount of work that reaches the Supreme Court, was n remark made bv Chief Justice Paxson. He said that he had been on the Supreme Bench 16 years and had just reached his ten thousandth case. Of the cases disposed of yesterday, the ma jority were of minor importance generally, though several were important and of interest. In the appeal of James S. Bracken from tbe decree of o. C, Cambria county. Justice Green sustained the appeal and reversed the lower court. The appellant was one of the heirs to propertj. and after accepting the distribution of the auditor, he tiled exceptions to bis ac count. The principal of this was a bill of $115 for the work. Tne defense averred that he bad accepted the distribution, which barred him from further interest in the estate, and thereby left him no status in court. Justice Green held he had the same interest in the estate, as his share of it was mmed by tbe will, and his standing in court was betocd question. As to .the fee of J115, In the opinion of the Court, It should not have been more than 05, as there were but six sittings in which testi mony was taken, and that was a reasonable amount to charge. The opinion of Judge Slagle handed "down last Saturday, in a ltko case, fixes the fee at exactly the same as does Justice Green. THE. EIGHTS OF A -WIDOW. Justice Williams reversed the Westmoreland County O. C. in the appeal of Mrs. Wlllson from tbe distribution of tbe administrator of her husband's estate. The rights of tbe widow is a choice of one of two things, will or no will. She must accept or reject the provisions of it, whether she is named In it or not, and most not presume there is a will for conversion and no will as to tbe share she shall receive, or the amount ot benefits she can claim. Justice Green affirmed the judgment of Bea ver Cnunt C.P. in the appeal of the executors of John Albert Ferguson, the right to collect collateral inheritance tax on the property of an heir of the same name. The latter is an ille gitimate child adopted by the decedent by special act of Assembly. The lower court held the act did not legitimatize the neir, and that adoption did not place him in the position of one born in lawful wedlock. In the appeal of G. E. Crulksbank, convicted of larcen) in Indiana county, the appellant was ordered to bo given in the hands of tbe Sheriff, thus affirming the lower court. The appeal of Vane township poor district from Q. S., Armstrong, was affirmed. John Lllenberger. a pauper resident, with a woman and three children, moved into an adjoining township, and were returned. The fact that be had a wife living developed tbe fact that the rnildren were illegitimate and the woman had no claim on him. Thus the poor district held they could not claim a residence there, which was sustained by tbe court. The appeal of Charles T. Schotte from C. P., Armstrong, was affirmed. It wis to recover on a contract made in 1886 for tbe paj ment of money "within ten years." The plaintiff alleged it meant in that time "if be required it," hut the lower court held tbe contract would not be violated if not paid until tbe limit. This was affirmed bv Justice Green, who remarked, "the plaintiff has made a very fool ish contract, and we cannot help him.'' Chief Justice Paxson handed down an opinion refusing the application of George C Spar row for a writ of mandamus to compel the Quarter Sessions Court of Mercer county to grant him a retail liquor license. Judge Me hard, who refused the license, gave his reason for so doing in full. He said that the appli cant was a citizen of temperate habits, good moral habits, and that bis house was a good hotel and necessary for the accommodation of strangers and travelers. Also that tbe bor ough of Greenville, in which it is located, has not a licensed house, nor is there one within 12 miles of it. NECESSITY OP A LICENSE. A remonstrance was Hied against tbe ap plication, with 870 signers, stating that a license was not necessary, while a petition in favor of the applicant with 471 signers claimed it was necessary. The court weighed tbe case on pe tition and remonstrance, and decided a license was not a necessity, and so refused it. Justice Paxson, in his opinion, said: "We have decided repeatedly, and in language too plain to be misunderstood, that the granting of alicemeto sell liquor by retail rests in tbe sound discretion ot the court below. This dis cretion, however, is a legal discretion to be ex ercised wisely and not arbitrarily. A judge who refuses all applications for license unless for cause shown, errs as widely as the judge who grants all applications." In conclusion, the mandamus was refused. Chief Justice Paxson affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of Lavma S. Hobb et al against the Kittanning Insurance Com pany, appealed by the defendant from the Common Pleas of Armstrong county. Ihe case was an action on a pohej. and judgment waB entered against the defendant for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense. Chief Justice Paxson ruled that the affidavit ot defense was not safiicient and affirmed the judgment. Justice Mitchell dissenting. Justice Clarke banded down an opinion re versing tbe lower court in tbe case or George S. Veon against Patrick Creaton, appealed by the defendant from the Common Pleas of Venango county. The suit was for damages for injuries to the son of the plaintiff. Hepurchasedliquor from the defendant while intoxicated, was put out of his saloon, and. wandering onto a rail road track, was struck by a train and one leg and the foot on the otner leg cut off. His father cared for and paid the doctors' bills,etc., and sued Creaton to recover them. He ob tained a verdict and the ca-e was appealed on the gronnd that tbe rat her had no right to bring the suit, the son being over age and able him self to sue Justice Clarke said in his opinion that had the son while so intoxicated destroyed his father's property, the latter might have main tained a suit for damages, but in the present case, where a verdict was obtained on the plea of the father s responsibility fur the care of his son on account of the possibility of his be coming a charge to the poor district, such was not the case and was too remote an occurrence to be considered. In consequence, tbe judg ment was reversed. STILL ANOTHER CASE SUSTAINED. Justice Green handed down an opinion re fusing to disturb tbe verdict of the Quarter Sessions Court of Warren county in the case of C. M. and E. E. Spink, who were convicted ot conspiracy for trying to put the wife of one of them into an insane asylum. Tbe case was appealed on alleged errors in the trial, but tbe lower court was sustained and tho record re mitted for the carrying of the sentence into effect. In the opinion of Chief Justice Paxson, affirming the decision of the lower court in the case of Anderson against Oliver Bros. & Phil lips, wherein a non-suit had been entered, he slid that when in tbe case of a non-suit there had been no exception to the refusal to take it off. the evidence was not before them and they could not review tbe action of tbe court below upon any question arising upon the evidence. Justice Gretn reversed the Quarter Sessions Court, of Jefferson county, in the case of Mc Clure's appeal, an appeal from an assessment by viewers for the opening of a street. The lower court was reversed on the ground that four of the viewers were property holders and inteiested, which disqualified them and was fatal to the proceedings.

An Injunction Prayed for by Brunot's Island Property Owners, Bills in equity were filed yesterday by Amanda M., Mary J. and Joseph A. Briggs, executors of Frederick Briggs, against John K. Clark, Philip M. Pfeil and the btarSand Company, Limited, owners of the steamship Hippopot amus, and P. M. Pfeil, J. W. htolzenbach, Fred Pfeil and C. H. Stolzenback own ers of the steamboat Wharton McKmght. It is alleged that the plaintiffs own about 20 acres on Brunot's Island, in the Ohio river, three acres of which is beach. Along the beach is planted a hedge of willow trees, to pro tect it from the washing of the water. The front is used for a landing and wharf, and is valuable for that purpose. Tbe defendants are engaged in the business of dredclug for sand and gravel, and it is stated, pushed their dredging boats up to the Iandinjr, destroying the protecting hedge of trees, and removing large quantities ot sand and gravel from above low water line, to which the plaintiffs own. This has placed the hank in such condition that high water will wash away the shore. They refused to stop dredging when requested, and tbe Court is asked to grant an injunction re straining them and award damages for the in jury done, and the sand and gravel removed from the plaintiffs land, above low water line. A BOOK AGENT'S APPEAL For Release From Jail for Xot Pajing a Fine of SIO. An application wa3 made yesterday to Judge Acheson. ot the United States Court, for a writ of habeas corpus to secure the release ot Albert H. White, a book agent. White was arrested at Union Citv, Brie county, for vio litine an ordinance by not paying a licence tax imposed on his business. He was fined 10, and, in default of payment, locked up. Ho claims that under the inter-State commerce law his arrest is illegal, he being the agent of a firm in Toledo, O.. and a citizen of that State, and that he was only soliciting orders. Judge Acheson issued the writ, and fixed Thursday for a hearing. "Tickling"' in the throat vanishes with the use ot Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. Only So cents. AUCTION 1A1ES, BOOKS! BOOKS!
