Negotiable. Paper.
The Supreme Court, sitting at Harrlsburg
las this week rendered au Impottant dech-
bin in the case of Woods vs. North, error to
tho Common Pleas of Huntingdon county,
which is of great Interest to bankers and bit
jlnes nu n, as it Involves tho validity of In-
lorsements of piomissory notes containing
wdat Is known aside livo per cent, collection
clause. Tdo decision willed was given by
lustlco Sharswood, is as follows:
It is a necessary quality of negotiable pa-
hit that it s nouiii uesiinnie. certain, uncon
ditional, not subject to any contingency. It
would bo a mere affectation of learning to
clto the elementary treatises and tho decided
cases willed havo established this principle.
It Is very important to the commercial com
munity that it should bo maintained in all
its rigor. Applying it 10 uio noiosueti upon
in this caso woaro opinion that It violates
this rule. If it bad been mado payable at
sixty days, with 0 per cent, it would havo
OCCIl onjeciionauiu as usurious uu us uiitj.
It would not, however, on that account.havo
invalidated tlie note or destroyed iu negoti
ability. A negotiable note may be made pay
able, witu interest I rnin a piate, ami it moro
than lawful intact Is stipulated for, it does
not in Pennsylvania make tliecmilr.ict void,
but only thn usury. Hence such a unto is
sufficiently certain It is payable at matu
rity, with lawful interest. But In the paper
now in question tdcro enters as to the amount
an undoubted element of uncertainty. It is
a mistake to suppose tdatif the note was un
paid at maturity tho five per cent, would bo
navable to tho holder by the parties.
It must go Into tho bands of an attorney for
collection. It is not a sum necessarily
navable. Tlie uhrase "collection fee" neces
sarily implies tills. Not only so, but this
amount of percentago cannot bo arbitrarily
determined bv the parties. It must bo only
what would be a reasonable compensation to
an attorney tor collection, nils, in reason
and the usage of the legal profession, de
peuds upon the amount ot tho note, rive
per cent, would probably bo considered by
a lurv as a reasonable compensation upon
the collection of a note of threo hundred
and seventy-seven dollars. But if it were
three thousand dollars they would probably
think otherwise, and certainly so it it were
thirty thousand dollars. Now, then, can this

THE EXECUTIONS,
ELEVEN MEN PEUISII ON THE BCAF
POLD. SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
On Thursday, Juno i!lst, four men wero
hanged In tho prison yard at Matich Chunk,
six In the Pottsvlllo jail, and ono at Wilkes-
Barro.
In Matich Chunk largo numbers of pooplo
poured Into town nt an early hour to witness
tho executions of Edward Kelly, Michael
Doyle, Alexander Campbell and John Don-
ahoo, alias "Yellow Jack," tho threo first
named for tho murder of John P. Jones, a
mining boss of tho Lehigh nnd Wilkes
barro Coal Company, at Lansford, Carbon
county, on tho 3d of September, 185, nnd
Donahoe, for the murder of Morgan Powell,
assistant superintendent of tdo mines of tlie
Lehigh Coal nnd Navigation Company, on
tho 1 of December, 1871.
On tho last night of tlieii lives tho con
demned men slept little. None of them re
tired beforo midnight nnd nil nroso from
their beds after sleeping between three nnd
four hours. During tbo long hours of the
night candles were kept burniug In each f
the cells nnd two members of tdo Coal and
Iron Police kept watch over eaclt prisoner.
For the purpose of guarding against any at
tempt at rescuo that might bo mado by tho
Mollie Magulres, special details of tdo Coal
and Iron Police as well as the Easton Grays
wero stationed in and about tho prison. A
small cannon ready loaded, and an abund
anco of hand grenades were ready for uso
within tho prison nt a moment's notice.
As Sheriff Ratidenbush had notified those
whose peculiar duties called them to witness
the executions, that they would be admitted
nt nine o'clock in tho morning, upwards of
ono hundred and fifty men, Including jour
nalists, jurors, deputy sheriffs and others.as
scmbled at that dour in front of tho stair
way leading to the prison gates.
It was not, however, until after ten o'clock
that tho party were admitted. Filing ono by
mediately adjoined each other, wero rudely
but substantially constructed. Each is sup
plied with two hanging ropes, though upon
but ono only wore theso visible, tho others
being colled up and concealed In a gum
covering thrown over the cross-beams above.
At 10.50 o'clock tdo creaking of tho Iron
gate at tho opposlto end of the yard caused
all eyes to he turned thither. Two minutes
later n mournful procession appeared nnd
wended Its way along tho pavement towards
tho scatl'old. Two of tbo condemned wero
brought, McGcchau nnd Boyle, accompa
nied by Slicrllf Werner nnd Deputy Sheriff
.lolin Snyder, nnd nttended encd by a cler
gyman. McGeehati with Father Martin
Walsh, of Heckshcrvllle, Schuylkill county,
and Boylo, with Father Beresford, of Port
Carbon, next. Tho remainder of tho cor
lego consisted of underkeeper of tho prison,
Moses Innis, and Drs. Sallady and Saycr, of
Tremont, prison physicians.
The doomed men, with their attendants,
walked quickly, but neither gavo tho least
indication of trepidation or apprehension.
The entire cortege mounted the steps of tdo
scalfiild nearest in tlieir course, nnd proceed

up tlie mournful picture.
Upon taking their places tho Catholic ser
vlco wdlcd had begun when tho men left
their cells, was resumed by tlie clergymen,
Boylo andMcGcedan giving tdo responses
In firm aud audible tones. Tdo demeanor
of Boylo at this time and until tdo drop fell
was ono of eutiroself-posscssion ; the degreo
of nervo displayed by both men, particular
ly Boylo was extraordinary, and, at times,
his manner seemed to indicato n feeling o
utter inditferenco to the surroundings. His
composure was evidently real and not assum
cd, and, as the religious services proceeded
he occasionally inhaled the perfume of a
beautiful red rose, which he held in his hand
and applied to his nostrils.
McGeehan's bearing was that of a sincere
contrite penitent. Ho appeared to realize
his awful situation, and repeatedly looked

ary stairway that led to tbo scaffold.
The first on tho trap was Alexander Camp
bell. Of magnificent physique and a frame
upon which long confinement and menial
anxiety had been unable to mark their in
roads distinctly, he looked anything but n
murderer. After bowing to the sheriff nnd
moving to a corner of the scafTold as that
official pointed out to him tho place on tho

upwards at the ropes which wero beld on

t this point tho crowd looked to Carroll,
who was quietly awaiting his fate, without bo
traying auy special emotion cither of contri
tion or despair. In appearanco ho was tho
most intelligent and dignified among tho half
dozen murderers. Apparently conscious of
tdo hollowncss of professions upon the gal
lows, and appreciating his terrible death-hour,
Carroll merely uttered witlt ealinness,"I havo
nothing to say, gentlemen, only I am innocent
of tho crime I am charged with." Here
Koaiity btoko in again with the remark,
"Well, that is what I forgot; rxcuso mo gen
tlcincn, that is another word I forgot that I
was going to dio nn innocent man. I forgot
to put that in (hero tho doomed man's voico
grew tremulous), but I hopo it is good for
mo ; nnd as to them that prosecuted mo nnd
brought mo to this place, 1 forgive tliem from
tho bottom of my heart. I hopo God will
forgivo them and forgivo me, too."
Carroll mado no attempt to prolong tho re
marks, apparently interrupted by his associ'
nto, but improved tho opportunity,whcn sci
zing tho proflered hand of tho ShcriflT in a
last farewell, to whisper in his car a few hur
ried partinglwords. Carroll was tho only ono
otho victims of tho day who did not bear iu
his hand or upon his person a flower of some
color. Tho lappcl of MGechan s coat wa3

and ono whito. Iiolyo held a rose in his
hand, whilo Duffy, ono of tdo last couplo to
bo hung, carried a littlo white flower, attacli
cd to tdo coat lappel.
When the pinioning of the limbs of tho
doomed men was in progress, Roarity recog
nizing ono of his counsel inthocrowd,shoutcd,
''Mr. Lavelle, I leavo you my blessing and
lcavo it to all my employers." "God bless
you, Jim," responded the lawyer.
Tho priests now exhorted tdo men to turn
tlieir thoughts to God. Tdo nooses were
tightened upon their throats, tho whito caps
adjusted, shutting out from their gaze, forev
