A large audience gicctcd the Eoynl

part of tlio performers. The bells are 121

Wo have not had time to examine it critic

Wu also observe that the duplicate of
llcubcn Harris for 1880 remains unsettled
there being a balance due from him ot
$877.83.
Tho total amount of commissions receiv
ed by the County Treasurer is $1109.48.
Tho total amount received by tho com
missioners for services is $1142. 00.
The total rents received for the old jail
property amount to $121,00, of which
$50.70 wero expended for repairs to the
property.
Tho actual Indebtedness of tho county Is
only $18.40.
As a whole the statement shows tho fi

lias been no useless ;or extravagant expen
diture of money, so far as we cau ascer-

A new question has arisen lu tho matter.
of the sewer, und that Is us to tho rights of
the municipal authorities to enter upon
ami lay the plpo on private property. The
Act of Assembly authorizes borough offi
cers to make common sewers, and to enter
upon prlvnto property for that purpose.
But the constitution piovldcs that no
private property shall bo taken for public
purposes unless payment bo previously
mado or secured. It Is a little singular
that provision hns been madu for tho as
scssment of daimiges In tho case of rail
roads, canals, gas and water companies,
but the. legislature has overlooked public
sewers altogether. As n release for light
of way has not been secured, nnd probably
cannot be, from some of the property own
ers over whoso land the proposed route
passes, tho objection will tbu mado that tho
Council havo no right to enter upon theso
lands without llrst making payment for tho
same, und If tho laud owners will not ac
cept reasonable compensation for damages,
uml'lhu law not providing for assessing
damages, another snug will bo struck be
fore tho sewer is completed. Upon nil ap.
plication for an Injunction to restrain tlio
Town Council from entering upon prtvatu
lauds, tho courts will again have an oppor

In the case of Daniel Martz against the
School Directors of Briarcreek township,
Judge Elwell (lied an opinion on Monday
holding that
A member of a board of School Direc
tors cannot lawfully bo removed from the
ofllcc by reason of non-attendance at any
number of special meetings of the board.
For non-attendance nt two regular meet
ings in succession a member may be re
moved. Regular meetings arc such ns are held nt
llxed and stated periods.
It no fixed periods for meetings have
been established then every meeting held
by adjournment in succession from the
llrst meeting for organization is a regular
meeting.
An adjourned meeting from any special
meeting is not a regular meeting, it is but
a continuation of the special meeting.
The removal of Martz was illegal, lie not
having failed to attend two reculnr meet-
lugs. Mandamus directed to reinstate him
in ids office of Director.

While tho applications for licenses In
Ceutralla borough were before tho Court
the counsel for one of tho applicants with,
drew his petition, but suggssted that there
ought to be some licenses granted there,
as those who havo license will enforco tho
law against those who havo none. In re
ply to this the Court remarked ns follows i
"So wo thlnu, that white It Is permitted
to grant license, tlio persons who hnvo a
monopoly aro tho best detectives that can
be appointed. The information wo get
from Hint region (Ccntrnlla) Is that when
the landlords who failed to tnko out n li
cense tho year before Jwero refused last
year, that let tho bars down, nnd they nil
went nt It, nud went at It so unanimously
(hat there Is nobody to complain. There
fore, their cases arc not brought before the
court. Wo announced at last court that,
In view of the circumstances, wo would
allow the District Attorney, if ho could by
any means get hold of tho facts, to lay In
dlctments before tlio grand Jury, without a
previous binding over by a magistrate,
hoping In somo way to reach and stop the
wholesale tralllc, universal retail tralllc,
going on. But we have received no tan.
glblo ovidenco upon tho subject, and nro
only able, by tho examination of these
cases ns they come up, to partly unravel
the situation of tlilng3 over there j to get a
llttlo Insight into how matters are. I think,
under the circumstances, that hotel llccn
ses for hotels properly kept are a necessity
In Ccntralia us much ns In nny other place."
It Is evident Hint un effort will be mndo
to break up the unlawful salo of liquor at
Ceutralla, nnd those who nro engaged In
the business will act wisely by discontin
uing at once. Should they persist, they
will likely get Into trouble, for which they
can blame no one but themselves. ,

1SUI.NED IX PUliSK.
Monday, January 4, the regular decision
day of the Supreme Court nt Washington,
tho decision of tho now celebrated Bur
dett, Wnite-Estey Organ suit wasnnnounc
ed. It was a complete victory for the Es
teys. "Tlio decree of the Circuit Court for
tlio District of Vermont reversed nnd the
case remanded to that com t with directions
to dismiss the bill.'' This means that tlio
nine judges of the United States Supreme
Court believe there is nothing to the pnt
ent. The decision was unanimous sonic
thing very unusual and extraordinary In
this court. The case was argued on Nov
ember 20, 21, 22, nnd tho short lime taken
to reach a decision shows that tho Judges
had very little difficulty In deciding against
Burdctt.
Judge Blatchford, who had been promot
ed to the Supremo bench since tlio last de
cision, having written the former opinion
now writes this, reversing tho former de
cislon ot Judge Wheeler. We say Judge
Wheeler, because, although tho document
bore tho name of Judge Blatchford, it
showed the "ear marks" of Judge Wheel
er's peculiar work all tho way through.
Tho decree of the court below rEx.Oov.
Stewart, of Vermont, as master), awarded
mirueu tflliO.UOO provided tlio patent
should bo held as Judge Wheeler had lull
mated, but ho nlso decided that whatever
was valuable In this invention wnsdlrreilv
attributable to tlio patent owned i,by Estcy
00 lo., ana that Burdctt had traced none of
It to his patent.
CELKmtATlON AT ESTEY1 FAOTOIlY.
When tho news was received nt the fuc
torles In Brntlleboro, Vt., nbout two o'clock
on Monday, the members of the firm hap.
pened to bo out, but the employees at once
engaged in quite a celebration ; Hogs wero
run up all over the factories and the news
spread about tlio town; congratulatory
calls were made by largo numbers of peoplo
and telegrams und letters began to flow in
from nil sections of tlio United States. Of
course the feeling of that town wns ono of
quite general satisfaction, for, while tho
Estey's were " solid" financially, and there
wns no possibility of nn unfavorable decis
ion crippling them, yet they were so iden
tilled with nil tlio Brattleboro Interests that
no ono could wish tlicin anything but tho
fullest prosperity.
The caso commenced In 1871. The bill
lu equity from which tho decrco resulted
wns never signed or soon by Unrdett.
Wnltu signed and swore to it December .'10,
1871, us may bo seen from the record, The
cnso was oiiginally brought beforo Judge
Snuilley of the District of Vermont who
became Incapacitated beforo hearing It,
and It wns iirrungcd to bo heard befoio
Judge Woodruff of Connecticut, Ho only
listened to fcome collateral motions in it,
and died before tho case itself was argued.
Johnson, his successor, henid It In 1870,
but died beforo reaching n decision,
Blatchford was nppolnted In his place, and
Wheeler having succeeded Smulley lu tho
Vermont district, they heard It together in
May 1878, and decided It In November,
1878, and It was then passed to the master,
who after tuklng testimony and listening to
arguments, found the damages or llio prof.
Its which Esiey & Co. have from tho pat.
cut, conceding its validity, to be $101,000,
Thera wero from the beginning somo points
of doubt and controversy lu tho decree,
which ho of course could not pass upon,
Up to this point It did seem na If the case
wns going steadily against tho Esteys j but
they und their counsel had undiminished
faith lu tho resultli thoy appealed to the
Supremo Court to sco if a patent could rest
on such pin points ns Judge Wheeler nnd
Blatchford had stuck up for this, and
Brattleboro business men piompily and
pretty unanimously went upon their bonds
for several bundled thousand dollars to en.
able them to carry tho case up.
COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
Enormous sums went to lawyers. It Is
said that Wnito paid E, W. Sloughton alone
$35,000 of the bank's money. The law.
yeis on both sides were tho host that could
bo obtained In the country. Hon, Edmund
Burke, of N. H., Commissioner of Patents
under President I'ltrcc, and tho man who
found our wholn patent system In chnos
when ho went Into olScc, and who built up
substantially tho whole present system of
patent practice In America, tho most ad
mirable In the world, was tho original nnd
leading counsel for EMcyfc Co. This do.
cislon Is a complete vindication of tho
opinion he rendered ns soon ns ho cxnm
Incd tho ense, thnt thcro was nothing In It,
Tho lato Charles N. Davenport nlso np
penred for tlio Esteys In somo of tho pre
llmlnnry singes. After Mr. Buike's death
tho counsel who fought magnificently for
them nil through, and were especially pro.
llclcnt In patent practice, wero Win, M
Evarts, Charles C. Beaman, Jr. nnd Ed
wnrd N. Dlckerson of Now York. On the
other side the lawyers nt different stnges of
tho fight were E. W., II, E., nnd C. B.
Stoughton, Edward J. Phelps, Scnntor Ed
monds, George Harding of Philadelphia,
nnd Col. K, Hnsklns nnd Congressman
Tyler beforo tho mnstcr.
A MTTI.K Ol.aAST IIISTOitt.
Not nil of tho defence of Estoy ifc Co.,
hns nppenred In the case. Since the clos
ing of tlio testimony, they have come Into
possession of much fresh evidence nnd
many books nnd documents, bearing
upon the questions Involved lu the cnso
nnd upon orgnus containing the features of
tho patent, manufactured long before It
was issued, which would make their de
fenso more than overwhelmingly) conclu
sive There Is quite n literature upon reed
Instrument manufacture In Europe, even
beforo this century, nnd somo of it demon
strides Hint Burdcll's Idens had long beforo
been put lu use In various degrees of prac
ticability. But without more than an allusion to nil
this It is enough to si.y what appears In
the record of the cnso gave Estey & Co., a
conclusive victory. In this country and as
far back ns 1854, tho patent office records
show that Geo. C. Huut, who wns un em
ployce In Dayton's factory.patcntcd tho de
vice of placing ono or two additional hori
zontal set of reeds nbove the common ones.
In 1850 J. R. Rollins of Buffalo, jn. Y. In
vented nn Improvement, Including partial
sets of reeds. In 1800 Riley Burdett took
the same rccd board as Is shown In Hunt's
patent, nnd placing the ndilltIon.il reeds on
an Incline, took a patent on tho improve,
ment, and sold it to Estcy & Co.. So wo
sco that tho ideas, and ns the Supremo
Court holds, nil the essential features of the
Burdett patent of 1800, the ono in contro.
vcrsy, had been anticipated j nnd that real
ly the patent's vnlldity was narrowed to the
size of the hole or valve openings which
had always been used on reed Instruments,
nnd the court finds thnt a man cannot hnvo
n patent for making a hole a llttlo larger
than somo ono else beforo him.
Every lawyer who has been employed by
Burdctt nnd Walte has had a different the
ory of the case. Mr. Harding, of Phlladcl
phla, who is one of the ablest patent law
yers in the country, and wns brought in
for this reason, declared in Ids argument at
Washington Hint there is not the slightest
reason for questioning the integrity of ono
of the Estey's exhibits, or doubling that
they made the organs when they claimed,
nnd ns they claimed.
IlUltDETT AND HIS 110NDSMEN TO PAY THE
COSTS.
As a result of the decision, Burdctt anil
his bondsmen havo got to pay tho costs.
Wnltc, who was Burdctt's right-hand man,
is now lying In prison for the crimes com
mitted to carry on this suit, although at
the present time Burdett has escaped con
nection with them. Burdett swoio that
Walte owned ope half In It.nnd Walte swears
that he owned nothing in it ; which to be
lieve, the public must now decide be
tween these two men. Burdett nlso testi
fied that he hns little or no menns : if so,
then financially, he is ruined forever, be
cause his slight income can never make up
for tlio great strain Hint is now to bo laid
upon him.
One of the stockholders in tho Burdett
Organ Co. swore that they had somo inter
est in it : how far they are Identified with
the case has not yet been fully shown, but
one thing Is certain that they havo at
tempted to make some capital out of it by
advertising, and they ennnot now escape
their share of tlio responsibility.
THE EFFECT ON THE 1I1AI1K.
Wnlle and Burdetto In tho curly history
of the case, tried to soothe the anxiety of
tlio trade by telling them that they should
not bo troubled, und the trade was lulled
to sleep, nd gave Esteys no support while
evidence was being accumulated against
them j now if tills case had gone tlio other
way nt Washington, it Is known that over
tldity suits which had been piepared
would have been instituted, and there
would havo been the liveliest timo that was
ever known in this country in the music
business.
Almost the entire organ trade, without
spending even a single cent, or giving Es
teys a single bit of comfort, escape ordlnu
ly expense, for it Is known that nearly all
in the trade were making fiat sets while
Estey it Co. were making the nelined bets.
The plaintiffs proceeded against Estoy for
a motion for fine nnd imprisonment
for making Hat sels, but with nil tho power
which Hint company could command, they
resisted the elloit of Burdett nt fraud nud
wrong-doing, nnd the result Is, tho trade
get the benefit.
StHlM TO FOLLOW,
Estey & Co, have brought suits against
Burdetto and Walte, nnd their counsel nnd
witnesses, which we suppose lliey will
press with extraordinary vigor.
