That ‘Turnpike Case.
Eprror WarcaMAN.—The Gazette of last week
repeated its attack of two weeks ago, upon Mr.
Rishel and others, thereby hoping to. break
the force of the result in the Turnpike case,
and algo to shield Judge Furst from the de-
served accusations of favoritism: and partiality.
No one who was present at the trial, or who is
cognizant of thé true state ot the case, will for
a moment believe one word of the charge made
by the Gazette, butin justice to Mr. Rishel,
Mr. Bunnell, and others, who have been ma-
liciously!attacked by this vile sheet, we ask for
space in the WATCHMAN to give an unbiassed
statement of the entire controversy.
The litigation which has given the Republi-
can ring and its servile organ so much concern
of late, had its origin in the proceedings 'insti-’
tuted about two years ago by a large number
* of citizens of this country to have the Centre
and Kishacoquillis turnpike road condemned
and freed from tolls and toll-gates. The pe-
tition for viewers is signed by hundreds of the
best people in the county, a large: majority of
whom are from Spring and Potter townships,
and Bellefonte and Centre Hall Boroughs, and
prominent and substantial men from these
boroughs and townships, as well as from Ben-
ner and Haines township, are furnishing the
means to carry on’ the litigation. Such men
as William Bilger, Joseph Tressler, John Rish-
el. J. M. Bunnel, J. A. Aikens, D. K. Guise,
Henry P, Sankey, John Wolf, Samuel Slack,
Alfred Durst, and anumber of others of like
influence and standing in the community,have
contributed of their means, aud given their
active support to the movement. The men
have no party interests to. subserve, and poli-
ties was unknown in the case until it came be-
fore Judge Furst upon an appeal from the re-
port ofthe viewers, who condemned thé road
and assessed the damages. '
The question is frequently asked, by those
unacquainted with the condition of affairs,
why was this proceeding begun ? What benefit
could the condemnation of this road be to these
petitioners and to the community general-
ly ? A few extracts from the evidence taken be-
fore the viewers, and a glimpse at the history
of turnpikes, will show very plainly why
these people are so anxious to have the road
condemned. From the time this turnpike was
opened until the opening of railroads
through this section, this road was a
through route from the Juniata to -the head
waters of the West-Branch. The road was con-
tinually crowded with teams of all descrip-
. tions carrying on the trade between these sec-
tions, In fact it was one of the main thorough-
fares of ths State. Then the road from Belle-
fonte to Lewistown, a distance of forty miles,
had but five toll-gates. The through travel
predominated,’ and the toll gates were so ar-
ranged that the burden of the tolls exacted
feil upon the general trade on the road, and
not upon the people of different localities.
Any one familliar with the turnpike legislation
of this State knows that the spirit of it is to
collect the tolls authorized mostly from gener-
al and not from local trade, and any company
owning a turnpike that would collect its tolls
upon the opposite principle would not only
violate the provisions of its charter, but for-
feit its right to collect any tolls at all. As soon
as the diiferent railroads now being operated
in this section were opened, through trade on
this turnpike ceased, and the tolls upon
which the company depended for its divi®
dends ceased to drop into its coffers. Unless
the expenses could be decreased, and the tolls
kept up to a good round sum, the stock would
become worthless. The facts are that about
the time our railroads were opened the stock
went down from fifty dollars a share to merely.
nominal value, This stock was then owned
principally by the estate of the late Wm. A
Thomas,deed, Judge Rhoads being the trustee;
the estate of Wm. P. Wilson, decd., Gov, Beav-
er, Robert Valentine, Dr.Hale, William Allison,
and a few others. The late Judge Irwin was
the principal mannager and rem ained £0 until
the time of his death, when he was suceeeded
by Robert Valentine. In order to restore the
failing condition of the road and keep up the
dividends, the entire policy of its management
wag npw changed. The first step was to aban-
don the portion of the road in Mifflin county,
thus making it exclusively a local road. This
action was followed by the erection of addi:
tional toll gates in this county, the increase of
rates of tolls, and a system of extortion from
local travel that was offensive in the extreme.
The increase of tolls and toll-gates was quietly
submitted to for a long time, but whe n the
road was allowed to go down, and at places be-
come almost impassable, the people commene-
ed to grow restless, and it finally resulted in
this proceeding to get rid of what to any reason-
able mind is extortion and oppression.
The question may arise as to whether the
facts will bear out these assertions. The evi-
dence taken before the Master and Viewers is
a matter of record, and open to the inspection
of everybody. It was there proved conclusive-
ly, that the road now is entirely a local road,
and the travel upon it almcst exclusively local;
that the number of toll-gates, and the rates of
toll, have gradually been increased; that
the road is generally in very ‘bad condition, in
many places worn out; and Judge Irwin, the
manager, admitted that if the road was kept
in even ordinary repair along the entire route,
the income would be insufficient to pay the ex-
penses, and the stock would be of no "value at
all. In the light of these facts, are not these
people justifiable in asking that this road be
condemned, and this system of extortion .re-
moved ? Under what theory or pretext ean
the owners of this road'asked the people of the
County to pay tribute to them, when they sim-
ply pocket the proceeds and refuse to main-
tain the road in even a fair conditions? The
truth is, the company do not care to maintain
the road, and have expressed willingness to
have it condemned, but insist that they must
have an excessive amount of damages for
what they, or their manager, admitted was a
worthless road.
When the petition upon which these pro-
ceadings are based was presented, the com-
pany appeared in Court voluntarily, and par-
ticipated in the selection of a Master and View-
ers. Counsel for the Company consented to
and acquiesced in the appointment of the Mas-
ter, and every viewer selected by the Court.
Three days were spent in the examination of
the road and the hearing of the case. Col.
Keller, the master, who had the same powers
as a Judge trying a casé, carefully supervised
the taking of the testimony,and in-an elaborate
and able charge submitted the case to the view-
ers. They condemned theroad, and assessed
the damages at $527. This finding raised a
perfect hurricane. While these people admit-
ted that their stock had no practical value,they
insisted that they must have large dam-
ages to compensate them for their property
which was about to be taken. For some rea:
son, then not apparent, Judge Furst assented
openly that the award was an outrage, and
boasted that an appeal would be taken, and
that he would preside at the trial. He did
preside at that trial upon the appeal,®and the
jury assessed the damages for this same road
at $12,800. Why this difference ? Col. Keller,
one of our leading lawyers, and a thoroughly
honest man, presided at the first trial. He ad-
‘company these engravings.
mitted evidence to show the condition of the
road, the value of the stock, the income of the
road, and the cost necessary to put the road in
ordinary repair, as well as the value of the
road itself. Upon the evidence adduced under
these rulings the viewers condemned the road
and assessed the damages at $527. Judga Furst,
who presided at the nexi trial, admitted evi
dence showing the value of the road, and to
some extent its condition, but excluded the
evidence showing the value of the stock, or
the cost of putting the road in ordinary repair.
In hearing the testimony, Judge Furst allowed
railroad contractors, railroad engineers, lum-
ber, men and iron masters to testify toa fancy
value of the road bed itself, some even testi-
fying that the road was worth $1800 per mile ;
but when farmers, and men who had experi-
ence in building public roads, were placed up-
on the stand, he refused to allow them to give
their opinions of the value of the road, be-
cause they did not have sufficient experience.
The evidence admiited under this ruling was
necessarily one-sided, and, and after a charge
of the same quality, the jury could do nothing
else than render?a verdict, giving this Com-
pany exorbitant damages for a worthless road.
Why Judge Furst should be so zealous in
caring for the interests of this corporation is
not difficult to understand, in the light of the
fact that the leading characters of the Repub-
lican ring of this county,and those who furnish
the sicews of war for the Republican campaigns
are the principal owners of the stock and the
beneficiaries of this contemptible system of
extorting money from the people of the county-
This conclusion is materially strengthened
by the fact that the Gazette, the. official organ
of this ring, seeks to defend these ‘extraordi
nary antics by falsehood and misrepresenta-
tion. John Rishel, a member.of the commit-
tee appointed to prosecute this case, is accus-
ed of every imaginable crime, simply because
he did his duty, ahd the attorneys who ap-
peared for the petitioners are accused of at-
tempting to filch money from the county,
when their entire effort upon this trial was to
cut down the damages as low as possible in or-
der to prevent the ringsters from taking mon-
ey from the county treasury to which they
are not entitled under any circumstance.
The law firm of Orvis, Bower &Orvis need no
defence or vindication in this matter. The rul-
ings of Col. Keller upon the first trial, and the
$527 damages assessed by the viewers, place
them in the proper light before the peo-
ple of the county. The petitioners are their
clients, and not the company. The petitioners
are interested in having the damages asessed
aslow as possible, the company as high as
possible. The only persons who could possi»
bly be benefited by excessive damages are
these stockholders, and not the petitioners
or theirattorneys. If there isa steal in this
case the friends of the Gazette are the parties
who have a “firm grip on the swag.” No doubt
this is why this ery of “stop thief” is raised
so promptly by- thislittle creature of the ring.
He is paid for this purpose, and he must be !
worthy of his hire.

Londons’ Monster Labor Demoastra-
tion,
Half a Million People Assembled in Or-
derly Array in Hyde Park.
Loxpon, May 4. —To day’s labor de-
monstration in Hyde Park was a magnfi-
cent success, and excelled 'in point of
numbers and orderly enthusiasm all
working class gatherings since: the
great reform assemblage in 1866.
The splendid organization of the
different trades taking part in the pro-
cessions brought together in the park
half a million people who met, went
through the business and dispersed with-
out a single incident occurring of a
disorderly character. The total num-
ber taking part in the various processions |
is estimated at 170,000, and these were
almost lost in the vastness of the assem-
blage gathered around the thirteen
platforms upon which the Labor Day |
advocates held forth.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Resolutions demanding
hours be recognized as a day’s work
were put and carried amid the exclama-
tions of the multitude, and by five
o’clock, when the paraders had reformed
in line, the assemblage began to dis-
perse.
cdmputation of the gathering,
spectable artisan class, the rag bag and
bobtail being conspicuously absent.
The speakers included Mr. Davitt, Mr,
Cunningham Graham, John Burns,
Thos. Mann, Benjamin Fillett, Mrs.
Aveling and Annie Besant.
By six o'clock the park was deserted
and the thoroughfares were full of or-
derly crowds streaming homeward.
THE GIGANTIC PROCESSION.
The gigantic procession was in time |
to start at 8 o'clock, and punctually st
that hour it moved oif amid thunderous
cheering and blending music of many
bands. The route toward the park was
along Bridge street, St. James Park and !
Birdcage walk, which were lined with
spectators. Masses of artisans joined
the paraders on the way until entering
the park the estimated number of men
in line was 150,000. Simultaneously
with the appearance in the park of
the ‘trades columns sections of the
social Democratic federation began to
enter. Some of them had joined the
main body on the Thames embankment,
while others marched in from the dis-
tant suburbs; marched from different
points converging toward the two plat-
forms in the park especially. allotted to
Socialists speakers The Railway
‘Workers’ Union had also a special
procession, some of the groups of which
swelled the embankment columns while
others marched isolated towards the
platform centres.
