fourothir children Were tuken sick with

In an opinion tiled on .Monday Judge El-
well holds that labor claimants whose

Sheriff's sale of personal property in picf-
erence to an cxecutioo-crcdltor whose-
writ was issued and levy mado befote the
labor was perfotnied. This follows the de
risions of tin- Philadelphia couits. while
Judge Pershing, of Schuylkill county, has
derided the other way. The question will
rever be determined tlnallv under the mes-
Jnt law, until It gets to the Supremo court,
nud it Is not likely to reach there, us the
a tiounts Involved urn usually too small to
light over or the parties aro not ablu lo liti
gate. The Act of 1873 ought to be so
amended tint thero will bo no occasion for
controversies between labor claims aud ex
ecution creditors, us in itiiiiy cases the
fund is exhausted heforu it nets out of

mon one of Eyt-rs Grove's most prominent
citizens should be a very happy man. There
Is itti o'.d adage that it is more to bo lucky
than rich. When n man is so fortunate ns
to possess botli he is certuinly highly fav
ored. Sit. Demott seems to be cue of the
few fortunate once It. this respect As be
fore stated he should be happy and I only
apeak whereol I know when I say that he
is. Ills amiable nud charming witu who
never does things by halves conceived the
happy idea of surprising him by n some
what unique but magnificent New Ytar's
present. Owlug to an unavoidable delay
the gift was not delivered until early o.i
the following morning. It was however
tioni! the less acceptable or less highly ap
preciated on that account. Upon exntiilna
lion of its character he exclaimed "Twins
and both Boys !" That such was the case
future observation proven to be correct
Both the boys and mother are at present
doing well. Their advent will not only be
u souicc of joy but also of care and trouble
to the happy parents. That the father may
be spared the repetition of too many such
aiiiiu-.il gifts is tliu wish of the writer.
Idle ClrlH And Silly MotltcrH.
Not long ago I heard a lively girl say,
"Oh, I never do anything at home, mother
won't let me !" To thu observing her life
carried tho impress of theso words. She
seemed to depend ht'rgily on thu company
of young men for pleasure, and every even
ing was spent in tho company of those
who had no more aim in life than she
seemed to have to chatler and laugh, and
from one day lo the next, look forward to
a repetition of the one gone. Girls whose
mothers fail to create in them an Interest
in homo matters will 1111 up their time i-i
somu manner and learn to depend on coin,
piny for their sole pleasure. What can
make mothers so blind to the interests of
t'n-Ir children 'i Ignorance dense ignor
ance, I conceive to be the prlnclmd reason
why mothers screen their daughters from
household work ; sijing, "She will never
be young but once let her enjoy herself,"
lb ! she will think of thoso idle, aimless
days in latter years, and feel thut they wer"
precious moments wasted ; tliey leave their
impress in all her after-life, and although
mother is not censured, yet surely she Is lo
blame lor much misery us well as credited
forsome glillsh happy moments. It would
be nn easy matter to teach a girl to be
happy and at the sumo tlmo take nn inter
est in thu work of thu household. If- girls
are not Instructed in such mailers, what
right havu they to aspire to become mana
gers of households thuiusiivcs i Industrial
Houth.

The nbovo was an old and rcspicted clll-

lliey were drifted in several places ; but
the energetic measures of the olllclais, and
employees, havu kept tho road In traveling

but how is it with those who have to foot

There Is a question that puzzles n great

and pay board and u dollar uiiiollmcnl lee,
and that Is, who pockets the surplus ut thu

OPINION iir ELWKIX, r. J,
Labor claimants nn entitled to be' paid

('X(ciitlon-credltnr, and within six months
immediately preceding the sale.
The opinion after discussing other mat
ters connected with tho exceptions to the
,,, ,
lo'' rcP" 6aJ'8i
Conceding that a legal levy was made on
tho 24th day ot Slay, 1884, that tho purpose
of the execution was not merely for the
security of the debt, but for the bonntlile
puiposo of collection, nnd that tho delay
of the Sheriff In making sale, was against
positive instructions of tho plaintiff, and
that tliu slay ordered by tho court, from
the 18th dav of October. 1884. to the 7lli
i daof January, 1835, was a legal siispen
I slon of the remedy of the plaintiff, and not
chargeable us nny fault, or laches on his
part, the question still remains, whether
the labor claims for work fter tho levy,
and within six months immediately pre-
ceding tho sale, lire entitled to priority In
the distribution.
The solution of this question is to bu
found In tho proper construction of thu
Wages Act of 0th of April, 1872. By thu
first section ! is enacted, that all moneys
I due for labor, by the class of persons and
In t lie kinds of business therein specified,
for any period of time not exceeding six
months, immediately preceding the salu

(,.... iiiiiiaiei ui iiiu iiiuijeiiy uuuiieeieil
with such buslnesi, whether such snle bo
by execution or otherwise, shall be pre.
ferred und first paid out of the proceeds of
the snle of such properly.
It is cot-tended by counsel for tho exc
cution-cro.Ulor that the statute gives nn
lien or preference after a levy, for tho rea
son llntt it would impair vested rights uc
quired by virtue of tho levy.
This view of tliu law finds support
several opinions of the Court of Common
Pleas of Schuylkill county, to bo found in
Schrader vs Burr 10 Phil. Hep. 020, Klndlg
vs Atkinson 34 Leg. Int. 100, In Graham
vs. .Machine Co. 35 Leg. Int, 70. Judge
Butler, in the Common Pleas of Chester
county, confirmed nn auditor's report
which followed the decision in Atkinson
vs. Klndli! supra,
Tho opposite of these opinions is held by
the Judges of the Common Pleas ol Phil
delphhla a. will be seen by a reference ti
the cases of Askam vs. Wright 1 W. N. C.
150, StcCuttlo vs. Fitzgerald 2 W. N. C
390, Slatzlngcr ct id. vs. Publishing Co. 14
W. N. O. 00, and by the Ccmmon Pleas
court of Cumberland county, In Naglo vs
Cumberland Ore Bank Co. 1 Chester Co
Hep. 491. On some two or tin cu occasions
these conflicting authorities have been
cited In nrgument before the Supreme
Court, but no diclslon has been rendered
upon the question by that tribunal, for the
reason that thu cases argued did not in
volve n construction of tho net. Being
still an open question It must be decided in
accordance with tho intention of the Leg
isluturc, ascertained according to establish
ed rules of construction.
It is a cardinal rulu that the Intention of
thu Legislature must govern In the con
struction of statutes. When thu words
used nrr not ambiguous or obscure, the in
tention must be collected from them. Tin
words used ure lo bo taken in their ordi
nary sense, Dwnrris on Statutes 203 und
note 204, and ure not to bu extended be
yond thut ini-unlng to comprehend cases
within the supposed Intention of the mak
ers. Dwarris on Statutes 210.
The best rule lo nrriveat the meaning of
the Legislature is to abide by tliu words
used, according to their ordinary meaning
and import, per Thompson J, in Ihmsen
vs. Navigation Co. 32 Pa. Stitte Hep. 157
It would be dangerous to put upon the
language used a construction, which
would amount to holding that the Legislut
uro did not mean what It has expressed.
Dwairis on S ntutes 215, 20 Wendell 555
In Slate vs. Urcwsti r 42 N. J. L. 125, the
rule of construction is thus stated.
"Where the language of a statute Is clcai
and unambiguous, nnd its literal meaning
leads to no absurd results, and is not re
pugnant to other paits of the statute, such
literal meanlnc, should be accredited to it,
iu lis exposition." Courts cannot correct
what they may deem either excesses oi
omissions in legislation, nor relieve against
the occasional harsh operntlon of statutory
provisions without the danger of doing
more Injury than good. Authority in note
33 Am Dec. 597,
It is very clear that when the Legislature
in tliu Act of 1872 used thu words, "Sale
or transfer by execution or otherwise," It
intended to give to the word sale IU menu
ing us universally understood. The words
themselves are not ambiguous, nor are
they made so by connection with other
words in tho slntute. On the contrary, the
question of liens prior to the performance
of labor, was in the mind of the Legislature
as shown by the proviso to thu 4th section,
which declares, "that no lien of mortgage
or judgment entered before such labor l
performed, shall be affected or Impaired
thereby." Tho protection thus given to
mnrteages and judgments against labor
claims accruing nfter their entry of record,
cl-arly implies that other liens aru not so
protected. Tho naming of mortenge nnd
judgment liens, according to well estab.
llsiied rules of reasoning, precludes the Idea
that nny others wcro Intended, If the In
tention nail been to limit the tlmo to six
months before n levy on personal property,
It Is a fair presumption that proper words
to express that intention would have been
Introduced Into this proviso, Tho courts
have no right to Interpolate the words, "or
of execution issued," following tho word
"entered," in this proviso; to do so would
be to legislate and not to construu.
Tliu case of Schiiapp's appeal, 2 W. N.
O. 149, cited by tho court in delivering the
opinion in Klndlg vs. Atkinson, 34 Leg,
Int. 100, affords uo aid In deciding the
question in hand. Tho wages claim in
that case was made upon the proceeds of
real estate for work done after entry of
Judgm -nt, By thu uxpress terms of tin
proviso above quoted the lien of the jiulg.
ment wns protected from tho wages claim.
Tho Supreme Court decline to pass upon
tho question, whether the six months limi
tation precedes tho snle,
Thero appears to bu good reason why a
labor claim should not hivo preference
over tho lieu of a Ju lirment or iiiortgugo
entered of record, and open to thu Inspec
tion of all pirsons, Whether liko reason
should bu allowed to operate In behulf of
I an execution creditor is not tliu question
which the courts have to decide, Tho Leg.
Islature has full power to declare and reg.
ulato thu remedies for the collection of
dibts. Whenever iu its judgment onu
- class of creditors is moio meritorious than
another, preference may bo glveu by stat
' uto to such class.
I When persona give credit to a minu.
fiicturcr employing laborers and inerhanlcs,
theydoso with the full knowleduo that
thu law In plain words, declares that such
1 laborers shall bo paid their wugus not ex.
' ceedlng two hundred dollurs, earned with,
in six months piccediug any sale, which
they may causu to bu madn upon an execu
tion. It Is argedu that theru U absurdity
J Iu tho construction ot tho statute which
would glvo priority to claims for wages
earned after a levy. But la It not nt least
equally absurd to hold u mcra paper levy
sufficient to defeat labor claims, without
removal of the properly or putting a
person in charge, or doing nny other
act by tho sheriff, equivalent to notice to mo
canlcs nud laborers, that the property is lo
cally out of tho hands of their employer
and In thu custody of the law t The Act
of 1873 was modelled niter other local Acts
which show that tho distinction between a
Hen by laborers up to the time of sale, and
a lien up to tho time of levy, was fully un
dcrstood by tho law-making power. The
local Act for Schuylkill and other counties,
passed tho 30th day of Marsh, 1859. P. L.
pngo 318 provides for tho payment of la
borers, etc., up to the tlmu of sale by ex
ecution, In language Identical with the first
section of tho Act of 1872. In
tho third section of tho same Act,
the payment of rent ton landlord Is limited
to a time Immediately prior to tho taking
of the property In execution or levy. On
the 11th day of April 1802, a local net for
Schuylkill and two other counties was
passed, (I. L. 470) to protect tho wages of
labor, giving preference In cases of sales by
execution, but limiting the lien for wnges
to six months immediately preceding tho
levy. It thus appears that the legislature
by appropriate words, limits tho lien for
wages to the tlmo of levy when ills Intend.
cd to be so limited, and extends it to thu
tlmu of sale, when the term sale Is employ
ed. On the 13th nay of Juno 1883, an Act
was passed, (P L. 110) amending the Act
of 1872, by extending lis provlsons to other
classes of laboiers &c. It may fairly be
presumed that thu legislature knew of tho
conflicting decisions in regard to tho orig
inal Act. If it had been intended to limit
the lien to the time of levy In accordance
with the decisions first nbovc cited no
doubt upt words would have been employ
ed for that purpose.
Instead of that, tho same limitations,
and by thu sumu words, is rccnaetrd for
the new class of claimants for wages, as is
contained In the first section of the origin,
nl Act, thus impliedly approving tho con
structtor. put upon thu Act by the Courts of
Philadelphia.
But however that may bc.Inm constrain
ed lo hold with the latter courts, that the
language of the statute Is loo strong to be
limited in its operation fry construction, to
the limu of a levy by execution, against thu
plain language, that the period from which
Hie tlmu of thu existence of the prefcr'ed
lien shall be computed, "hall be the sale
anil transfer. So holding, t.ie first and
second exceptions of tho labor claimants
must be sustained.
In view of the conflicting decisions in re
gard to the meaning und Intention of the
statute, and In the hope that these vexed
questions may be put ut rest t.y un appeal
in tins case, l nave endeavored, In con
nectlou with the report of the uudltor to
present the case In such a manner ns will
necessarily settle the law upon the subject.
I have but a word to add. If the h-jds-
laturc did uot in lend or mean what the
language imports, It has been during these
fourteen years negligent of duty In not
amending the Act by the use of language
declaring what mcnnlug they did Intend
should be ascribed to the words used.
The conclusion which I have readied,
requires me to reverse the rennrt-of the
auditor awarding the fund to the execution
creditor und to award tliu lund to thu labor
claimants.
