As the proceedings in tho mitter
of thi petition of citizen of Sreen

the Act of 1870 in this county where
there has len a contest, the opinion
of Jadce MvUzer will be found of

method of proj. "dure in inch cases.
Under his rating, notice muit be given
of every meet mi! by the commissioners,
and the residents matt bi heard upon
tho division lino wiich the viewer
propose to lay out. Tho Act of As
sembly does not require that any notice
whatever shall be given. It would

Below is the opinion in full :
OI'I.MO.V.
This is'a proceeding under the Act
of May 18th 1870 P. L. 178 to divide
tho Township of Greenwood into two
Election Districts, so as to suit the con
venience of the inhabitants thereof.
The petition for this nnrposo was
presented to the Court of Qiartcr Ses
sions of said County of Columbia and
on Iho 10th day of February 1888
Commissioners wero appointed to in
quire into tho propriety ot granting
the prayer of petition. They reported
in favor of dividing said Xownship in
to two Election Districts, and on tha
21th, day of bpU 1888 their report
was conhrmed .Nisi, by said Uourt.
On the 28th day of November A,
V. 1888, exceptions to this report
were filed by certain inhabitants of
Greenwood Township. These excep
lions are six in number but it is ad'
mitUid that the only ones worth dis
cussing are Second, Third, and Fourth
which are as follows : 'Jail, "ihe Uom
missioners under the amended petition
of May 14. 1888, proceeded to meet
and make a division lino dividing tho

witn the urder o: uourt.'

place of meeting was given the inhabi

one cisc

ship had no notice of meeting of the
uommissioners dulyia. 1888, and Aug-
uat 15. 1888, at which last meeting,
tho division line was agreed upon and
run dividing said Township into two
Election Districts, and at which two
meetings they discharged their dnties
in an illegal manner.
It appears from tho record in this
case, and tho facts admitted that tho
Commissioners were directed by the
Order of the Court, to give five days
notice, by t least six handbills written,
or printed and posted up in public
places in said Township, of the time
and place of meeting, for tho purpose
oi discharging tee duties ot their ap
pointment ; mat mcy tirst mot on tho
zzndoi aiarcn.J as, at the Hotel in Mill
ville, and that notice of this meeting
had been given according to law,
mac alter ncannir tcstinvinv for and
against a division, the Commissioners
adjourned that tboy met again on tho
4th day of May 1888, after giving five
uayB nouco as required, anu resumed
their investigations. Notice having
in the mo in ti mo been given that an
application would be made to tbo next
Uourt of Uuarter bessions by tho neti
tioners, for an amendment to tho order,
tho Commissioners again adjourned
after recelvisg petitions, and remon
strances from tho Citizens of the Dis
trict. That at both these meetings
different lines were proposed and dis
cussed pro and con, but no Hue was
agreed upon by the Commissioners
upon either of said days.
On tho 14th day of May A. D. 1888,
a petition was filed amending the
original petition which reads as fol
lows s Tho polling place in ono to bo
located at Milt ville, and in tho other at
Itobrifburcr, shall bo changed to read :
Ono of wGich said polling places shall
bo located at Millvillo, and the other
wherever tho Commissioners may de
termine. Tho Commissioners again met on
tho 10th day of July 1888, at Blooms
burg, without having given any notico
to tho inhabitants, and which conse
quently was not attended by any of
the Citizens of said Township.
At this meeting, tho matter of the
division was talked over and consider
ed by tho Commissioners, and tho di
vision lino as reported, being one
about a milo or thero about still further
West of tho lino suggested at tho eeo
ond meeting, and never before propos
od, was then and there adopted and
determined upon, this meeting was for
th1 purpose of considering the evi
dence in I hit case, and determining up.
on a report.
That tho Commissioners mot again
Aug. 15, 1888, at Kyers-Grovo for tho
purpose ot running out tho line adopt
cd at tho former meeting and tho lino
as reported by thorn was actually run
out on that day. No notice of thin
meeting was givon to any of tho In
habitants of tho Township and no di
oussion of said line by citizens of the
Townshlji took place either at this, or
in previous ineuiuig ui .iuiy iv, loao,
The soundness of tho oxctptious in
this case depends on two questions.
First, whether, in this proceeding
notico to tho inhabitants of tho Town
ship is necessary, and Secondly, if
necessary whether tho notico given of
tho first and sojond meetings of the
Commissioners, is sufficient, or wheth
er notice should also bo given of tho
3rd fc 4th meetings or both of thorn.
Tho Act of Assembly undor which
this proceeding is brought does not in
express tcruia require notico to bo giv
en, to tlit inhabitants j but that such
notice should be) J veil, is clearly im
plied from the languago used, and tho
purpose of tho Act, Tho division if
THE COLUMBIAN AND
to bo mtde, "So as to suit the conven
ience of the Inhabitant thereof. If
their convenience is to be considered,
they mast b consulted and heard, and
this should not be done without notice
to them. If we could have any doubt
on this question it would bo removed
in this case, by the fact that the Order
of the Uourt to the uommisiiooera
expressly requires notice to be given.
The power of the Court to make this
order cannot be questioned by the re
tilioners. It is their own proceeding
and tho order was made at their in
stance and becomes a necessary part of
their proceedings. We therefore hold
that tho notice in this case was
essential and that without it the report
of the Commissioners could not be sus
tained.
We come then to consider the next
question, whether a notice to the in
habitants of the Uommlssioners Third
or Fourth meeting was required. It is
claimed that the purpose of the Third
meeting was to consider tho evidence
in the case, and adopt a report, there
fore no notice was necessary.
We would feel like sustaining this
view of tho case, if the Commissioners
had adopted any line which bad been
proposed at any of tho previous meet
ings. We might then conclude that they
based their decision upon evidence
they had heard at these former meet
ings. But, how can we so conolude,
when, tbey in I act adopt and determin
ed at this third meeting upon a line
about a mile or there abouts, still fur
ther West of the line suggested at tho
second meeting, and one, that was
never belore proposed, tso tar as me
record in this caso shows, tho inhabi
tants never knew that the line adopted
had ever been suggested until, after
the Commisdoners bad run it out and
made their repoit to the Court. The
Commissioners are not only to inquire
into t'uo propriety of tho division, but
if a division be determined upon, it
must be made to suit the convenience
of the inhabitants of the Township.
There may be little disputes on the
subject of division, but where the line
shall be, may be the very question
which most seriouslv affects the inter
ests of the inhabitants. Therefore, be
fore a lino is adopted, they should
have an opportunity of being hf ard
on the question of its adoption. What
was said by Kennedy J. in tho cae of
Maccungie Township, 3rd Kawle 476,
in reference to the division ot a iown
stiip, is applicable to the case before us.
He said inter alia. If then the inhabi
tants of the Township have the right,
aud must exercise it in the first place,
of deciding wbethtr their oonvenince
requires a division of tbeir iownsnip,
or not, as it rau.it be admitted I think
they have, it follows that they have a
right to decide where the line of divis
ion ehall be, if a division be made at
all, because whether their convenience
shall in any degree be promoted by a
division of the lowuship may depend
in their opinion entirely, or at least
mainly, where tho line of division
shall be."
Hod notice been given of the third
meeting at which tho lino agreed up
on could have been discussed, it might
perhaps, have been unnecessary, to give
notice of the meeting at which the lino
thus agreed on was run out But, as
no notice, was given of either of these
meetings, tho report ot tho uommis
sioners must be Bet aside.
Exceptions have also been filed to
the bill of cost ahd expenses in this
case. We think th charges of the
Commissioners are reasonable. it
would seem from their report that they
had four meeting?, and we may fairly
presume that they may hav-j spent 6ome
additional timo in pn.pir.ng their re
port, and making the plot or draft at
tached. We also see no impropriety
in J. C Brown charging a part of his
time as Commissioner, and the other
portion of his time, when so employed,
as surveyor. Wo dismiss tho tirst and
gecond exceptions to the bill of costs
without further comment.
Tho third exception raises tho
question whether the County is liable
to pay for the services of the peti
tioners' counsel, and his necessary ex
penses. This item is claimed under
tho provisions of tho first section of
Act of 1875 l h. 20, which is as fol
lows. "In all cases of the division, or
creation of Election Districts, by the
Court of Quarter Sessions of any Coun
ty, in this Commonwealth, the said
Court shall order tho costs and ex
penses there of to be paid from tho
Treasury of tho proper County" &c.
Tho County is not a party to tho
proceeding?, bat as elections aro part
of the maobinery of tho Government
and the public at large is interested in
them, as well as the locality which com
poses a district, it seems to bo the poli
cy of the law that all expenses incur
red in holding and conducting the
elections, or in creating and forming
tho Districts, should bo paid out of the
County Treasury, which is a common
fund raised by taxation of (lie iuhibi
tants of all tho districts in tho Counly.
Tho Act governing this proceeding
does not provide for the pay mint of
any costs or expenses by the parties
litigant, ilio question bolore us is
not what is taxable as tho costs or ex
pensos of tho nuecotful party. The
Act fixes the liability of tbo County to
pay all coHts and expanses but docs
not delino what stia'l no considered as
li gal coats and expenses in such p-o-ceedings.
It appears to us, that it teas
intended by the Legislature, that it
tho aid cover all expenditure) neces
sarily incurred. It is plain that tho
word "Costs' alone, would include on
ly laxablo costs, and as Attorney's
teen in I'enna., are not taxable costs,
no such item could bo allowed, if no
other term were used in tho Act. But
tho Legislature saw fit to uso in addi
tion tho word, "Expenses". Now,
while icosta aro expenses and theso
terms are sometimes used as synony
mous, yet Biricuy sptnioug, "Ex.
pt'iiries." is a wider term than "Co3ts,"
and usually includes much more. It
embraces generally, nu r-xpendituro or
outlay, while coats, are only suoh ex
penses as aro expressly allowed by poii
live law and made taxable as such.
No attorney ice is fixed in a proceed
ing of this kmd, and therefore could
not bo taxed as costs. But if the
amount olaiuud is reasonable, and his
norvicos are nccoisary, wo hold that
then his compensation is part of tho
necessary expenses of tho petitioner,
and is included within tho leim ev
nouses used in tha Aot of 1875
The counsel fee in this case is, admitted
to bo reasonable, and as we think tho
services of an attorney mcessnry in
such a caso we allow this item us a
part of tho necessary cxnenseu of the
proceeding and dismiss the exceptions
The following Ordur is made m this
case:
And now to wit Aug. 2Jth 188!) tbo
2nd, 3rd, and 4 th exceptions to tho re.
port of tho Commissioners arosustained
and the leport is sot nsldo. On the

oosts, and expenses filed are dismissed,

WASHIHQTOH LETTER.
irroo our torpaixt Oomsroadent.1
Washington, D. a Aug. 30 '80;
The Navy department hat received
a cablegram from Rear Admiral Gher
ardi, commanding tho North Atlantic
iquadrom, asking that the New Ameri
can minister to Haytl be sent immedi
ately as Legitime bad abdicated and
ilippolyte is now on lop In that change
able little island. The French and
English captains have placed them-
telves under Admiral Gherardi's orders
in case of any trouble at Port-au Prince.
Ired Douglass is the new minister. It
is expected that he will start this week.
It is said that thu Haytians object to
Douglass as Minister; they want a
white man.
Permission has been crankd by the
Agricultural department to some of
the Knight Templars who will attend
the Conclave in this city next October
to pitch tLeir lenis in the department
grounds.
The Postmaster General is alone in
his glory this morning and he only ar
rived m town today, and It is doubtful
whether he will remain. No other
member of the cabinet is expected bo
fore next week.
A special train left this city Saturday
night with a large crowd bound for
Milwaukee to attend the G. A. R. en
cimpment. The business men of
Washington have invited the organiz
ation to hold their next annual encamp
ment here.
Arrangements have been completed
for a grand excursion, extending from
October 3rd, to November 14th, and
takiing in every place of interest from
Omaha to Ma"acbusetls, to be given
by the State department to the dele
gates to tho Three America's Congress
which meets here October 2. So-ne
unfavorable comment has been made
here becauso the South is not to be vis
ited by the excursionists. It hardly
seems fair to leave that section out as
long as it is on a trip which has to be
paid for by tho Government.
"Mahone's nomination by the repub
licans'' said a Virginia democrat of
prominence, "has made the fight in
Virginia a serious thing for us. Ma
hone, as an organizer, has few equals
and no superiors and we have cot a
hard fight on band to hold the Stato"
The same views are expressed by many
democrats here. Tbey beliove they can
win but only by the hardest kind of
work.
To think of the International Exposi
tion of 1802, being held in any other
city than Washinatoc is out of the
question. The Government owns
araplo grounds here right down in the
heart of the city to erect all the neces
sary buildings upon. Four fifths of the
Congressmen heard from on the sub
ject favor Washington and there is not
the slightest doubt that the Exposition
will be held here as it should be.
Civil Service Commissioner Lyman
says that tho repartsent out from here
stating that tho Commissioners haf
talked with President Harrison about
the proposed extension of the rules to
cover the chiefs of divisions in the de
partments is an error. Tho snbieot
has not been called to the President's
attention, but will b. when he returns
to this city as the Commissioners are
unanimously in f ivor of its adoption.
An open rupture between the Commis
sion and one of.the Cabinet is aid to be
one of tho probabilities of tho near
future.
The uavy department has had to ipsne
new proposals for bnlldinB the five
now ciuisors provided f r at the last
session of Congress, becauso tho bids
received for those first issned were all
in excess of tho amount appropriated.
It is feared that'vessels of the class de
sired cannot bo built for the amounts
stipulated by Congres, and that the
matter will have to be referred back to
that body for farther aotion. We seem
to have all sorts of drawbacks in the
boildint.' of our new navy.
Representative Brcckenridge of Ken-
tncKy was in this oity last week, lie

ckenridco is opposed to an extra ses
sion of Congress but from a political
standpoint he hopes ono will be called.

Frank Hatton has "let np" on the

he is waiting for Mr. Roosevelt to re

COOI'ER GRAHAM PERFORMS THE DAKOER.
OUS KEAT IN A DABRBU
August 25, Carlisle D Graham suc
cessfully performed the mt daring
feat which he has vet attempted at
Niagara, and the treacherous waters
made him go beyond his expectation in
showing what can be done in the ccrue.
Graham's ambition has been to go over
the .Niagara tails, but bis adventure is
just aB dangerous, and a craft which
will withstand the racking it receives
over the rocks uuder tho tempestuous
lower rapids is sure to go over the falls
all right.
The barrel used in this trip was
new one built of locust wood whio'
came from China aud which was strong
and tough. It is four and a halt feet
talL twenty-two inches in diameter
across tho head and fifteen at tho bot
tom. The diameter at the bulce near
the top is twenty-uino inches. The bar
rcl weighs ono hundred and fifty
pounds, but the weight was increased
fully one hundred pounds by sand bal
last and a drag of a piece of railroad
iron.
Charles Wiednian, John Uefferd and
John Weisenb-rger towed the cask to
ibe centre of the river and s -t it adrift
at 4.40 o'clock. It'drifted slowly un
der the railroad bridges eivinir draham
a chance to fasten the m tnhole with an
iron bar and brace himself for ihe dan
gers ahead, The sup nse, however
was not long, for in a few moments
tbo barrel was buried in. the first break
er oi tne wniripoooi itapias. ilie
mdo of rapids had been shot in three
and one-half minutes, a twenty mil an
hour gait. Graham had not time
enough to open the manhole covir in
the whirlpool. His barrel rode q-iickly
to the centre of the m ieislro n, aod
was carried toward thi) Canada shore,
pasitig by a crowd of rosuuers on the
point.
Tho party rodo down to Lewsiton in
a uurriage, hut tho rapids carried the
barrel faster than fleet horcs could go,
and it was lost sight ot attcr it had
bei n apparently sucked ur d r by the
m li-l -Irom at the Devil's II rle. Thi se
lower rapids aio faster, madder and
mure rocky than the urns abjve th'
whirl ool and tho danger greater than
in tho upper rapids.
Graham wa found at Lewis ton,
where he had been rescued more dead
than alive, by John Lonsdalu and Sey

only twenty-flvo minute", altoj'tW'
and allowing for tho timo ho was float

Graham has announced that he will
send his barrel over the Ilon-eslioe,
