Mile Heat In Pretty Clese Time.
The second day of the fall nice at Mc
. .Grann's perk drew an audience of about
TV tneawne use as en Tuesday. It was be
lieved by many that the crowd would he
much larger en account of the better
weather and the ftne showing that the
horses mode en the opening day. The
Taces of the second dav were equally as
geed, if net better, than en Tuesday and
the pcople who saw them found them
very enjoyable.

a the pone was (250i Four horses ere cu-
tered and all started as follews: William
Fisti' b. g., Sherman Bashaw ; T. .1. Mid-
dagh's b. in. Lady Union j Emanuel
Bener's b.m. Klla B., and Breeke Lui'.wig's
b. m. Resa K.
In the first heal Resa K. went ahcud at
once, closely followed by Lady U ten and
EUaB. The horses were all close together
at the half mile, with Klin, who had
cetue up, slightly in the lend and Hosu
K. next. There was a beautiful race
between these two horses down the
home stretch and they came under the

Gessbecker, who is a big, stout woman,
tried te defend herself, but she was
knocked down, it is Bald, with a chair.
It Is asserted that Mrs. Cunningham

LANCASTER,
FULTON VS. THE COUNTY.
WHi THE FIDIKG OF THR CHESTER COURT
II THIS riSE 18 RBTERSEB.
Extracts Frem the Opinion of the Su
preme Court Justice Mitchell DIs
Heutn Frem the Conclusions.
Following la the opinion of the supreme
court in the suit brought by 11. R. r iiuun
against the county of Lancaster, le recover
for money collected from the state:
In his statement and affidavit of claim
plalatifT below avers that his demand is
founded en a contract between himself and
the county commissioners, dated June 2,
1832, by which he agreed te collect from
the commonwealth all overpaid taxes en
personal property then due, for which ser
vices "the county, by Its commissioners,
agreed te pay (rim 25 per centum en the
amount or amounts which might be cred
ited te It in Its account w Ith the common
wealth; that said contract was evidenced
by a resolution adopted nnd untered en the
minutes of said commissioners, as follews:
"Heselvcit, That It. R. Fulton, esq., be
and la hereby apjiolnted attorney for the
county te take proceeding te obtain credit
for the county In its accounts with the
commonwealth for all unpaid taxes en iht iht
senal precrty. Mr. Pulton's compensa
tion is tu be 25 per centum upon the
amount or amounts which may be cred
ited, and is tu be in full settlement for all
costs and expenses as well as or fees."
That " in pursuance of Bald agreement
and resolution the plaintllT, after llve years
of work, labor and great expense procured
credit sottlement In favor or the county in
its accounts with the commonwealth, of
?20,82,t,50 of overpaid taxes included in
the terms of said contract," etc, and that
plaiutitrs compensation for services, Ac,
as specified in said agreement and resolu
tion, is S5,205.67), w hicii sum Is new due
him with Interest thorcen from June 20,
18S7.
In srrbstance the elofetrso lntorpesed by
the county was that at the tlme the resolu
tion of June 28, 1S8J, was adopted plaintiff
below was the duly elected and qualille J
solicitor of the county, son ing under thu
act of February, 1870, at a salary of $fC0
fixed by that act, und for that reason nclther
he nor the county commissioners had any
pewer or authority te enter into the con
tract, under which the services wero
rendered and en which the claim is
founded.
It is concedod that vvhen the contract was
uiade. and for a considerable titne there
after, plaintiff below was the duly clected
and qualified solicitor of the county. The
Ith section or tlte act under, which he was
elected doc.nres: "The salary of the etlicer,
elected as hereinbefore provided, shall be
$500 per annum, payable quarterly: and
me oincer se ciocteu snail ue me regar uu
v'iser of tlte beard of commissioners of
Lancaster county arrd shall represeirt tlte
said beard in all proceedings in law or
equity w herein the said ceuuty Is u arty
or has any Interests." He w us undoubtedly
a public oftlcer within tlte- meaning of the
constitution, artlcle 3, Section 13, and
artiele II, sections 1 and & ; the first or
w liich declurcs : " Ne law shall extend the
term or any public olllcer or incrcase or
diminish his salary or emoluments, after
his clec lien or appointment."
The services for which the contract in
question undertakes te prev ide are clearly
within the sphcre of the duties of the
" solicitors of Lancaster county," as do de
nned by the act or February Is, 1870. He
" shall be legal adv Iscr el the beard el com
missioners of Lancaster county, und shall
represent the said beard in law or equity,
w herein said ceuuty Is a party or has any
Interest. " What authority then had
cither the plaiutllf boievv or the county
commissioners te enter into iv contract te
compensate the fornrer for service within
the sphore of his duties as solicitor or the
county T We are or the opinion they had
uone; that the act of the commissioners in
undertaking te bind Ilie county te pay the
compensation provided for In the contract
w as ultra vn en. Doubtless the very object
of tlte act In creating tlte edlcn or county
solicitor, pievldlng ler Iris election and
llxlng his salary, etc., was te tnke the
power out or the hands or the county com
missiouers and place it beyond their teach.
But be that us it may, we think the con cen
tiact was ultra iirc.1 and void, and that the
first and second ("eints submitted ler
charge, submitted by defendant below,
should have been utliriued. These points
are as fellow h:
1st. The contract or June 28, 1382, given
In evidence by the pliiintill, having been
ni.ule betw con the plaiutitl and the com
missioners or Lancaster county, when the
pluintltl vvasu publie efllcer, solicitor of
Lancaster county an olllce te which he
was duly elected in pursuant oef an act of
assembly, at u salary of UeOO a your, is con
trary te public elicy und null and void,
and no recovery can be had by the plaiutitl
for any serv Ices rendered by httii in pur
suance thereof.
21. The said contract of June 28, lbSJ,
given Inovidencoby the plaiutitl", was con
trury te public policy anil void, and there
cau be ue rccev cry by the pluintltl in this
action for services tendered under and In
purxuance of said contract, whether said
serv ices vv ere rendered vvltile the plaiutitl
held the olllce of solicitor of Liucnstei
county, or after the expiration ofhistetm
of olllce.
These mints w cre answ cred together by
tlte learned Judge us follews: "I have
probably fully answered these iKilnts in
what I have said in the genural charge ; I
may simply ropeat that I have already said
that if the sorvlccsef Mr. Fulton had been
rendered wliile he was county solicitor,
then there ceulil hav e been no rccev cry ;
but as tlte services wero rendered largely
ufter he was solicitor under his election.
If the county commissioners rocegiilcd
his services alter that titne and he w cut en
under the employment, after his term of
olllce expired, that would be a rutilicatleu
by the commissioners of the agreement
made bv Mr. Fulton with them, and he
would be entitled te recover whatever
reasonable amount the Jury may find due
him for the serv Ices icudercd and for the
expenses incurred.
lu the mil te leth specifications, Inclusive
the subjects of complaint are certain jsir jsir
tierrs of the general charge. T htse specifi
cations of errer present substantially the
same questions that are Involved lu the
foregoing points atrd answer thereto, and
hence they de net require sojKirate or
special consideration.
In saying, as he correctly did, that if the
berv Ices of plaiutitl below ''had been rend
ered vvltile he was county solicitor, then
there could be no recovery," the learned
judge rightly assumed that tlte contract in
question was unauthorized and illegal. All
such contracts, w hcthcr intended te be se
or net, are In e fleet ovuslveuud subversive
el law, centray te public policy und there
fore v old. They ure no mero capable of
nitilkatlen than was the contract or
Hunter vs. Wolf, 71st Pennsylvania, 28i
Speaking of the illegal contract under con
sideration in that case, Mr. Justice Sliars Sliars Sliars
vvoed said: "It is undisputed law that
such a contract is illegal, us against publie
policy and cannot be enforced." Even if
tliore had been an express contract en en
tirely dllferent terms than theso agreed
before. It ought te be v lowed witlt a con
siderable degroe of suspicion, tin uu attempt
te inake a sound and sanitary rule of pub pub
leo nellcv.
Acvse mere nearly paiullel w ith this, in
sonie of its features, is Chester county vs.
Barber, 07th Pernie., -155. Barber, one of
the plaintiffs below, was attorney for tire
county of Chester, but It did net appear
whether he was serving under an annual
silary, fixed by the uct of nxsciiiblv, or
under a sticciul agreement with the com
missioners. Tire county commissioners,
however, tnade a contract with him and
two ether ut'erneys te riay them &0 per
centum of the amount they recovered from
tire state for taxes Improvident!- paid into
tlte state treasury. .Speaking for the court
the present chief JustUe said: ''The commis
sioners had nos)werte bind the county by
such a lentract. It wa'i against public
H)licy mid tlicrefure null and void. I hese
c'onimis.siencrs were acting in n liduciary
cbaracter. They wero but trustees of the
iiioney when received for the use or the
eeiiuty. When therefore they centra'ttd.
toglve one-half of It te the plaintllN for
their services, they exceeded Ihclr power.
'I hey wero giving what did net belong te
them. As vv ell might a trustce contrail te
give nit uy one-half of the trust estate a-i
compensation te counsel for servile in
PA., THUKSDAY,
nectteu therewith. And, if he may glvu
away ene-half, why notthree-fourths, or
even a grcater proportion T Can it be
doubted that a court of equity vv euld strike
down such a contract ns lmprev Ident and
ti legal fraud ? Whether the plaintiff Bar
ber can rocev ernuythlugw ill diienit upon
the terms of his prev ions engagement as
solicitor te the commissioners."
If It bad appeared in that case that Barber
was acting under a salary fixed by ait of
assembly (us was Mr. Fulton lu this case)
and that his defined duty was te ait as the
legal adviser of the commiKlencrs mid
represent them In all proceedings nt law
or lu equity, w herein the county had any
Interest, it is net likely that any doubt as
te his legal status would hav e been sug
gested. According te the reasoning of the
opinion, the contract as te him w euld hav
been declared Illegal, contrary te publie
policy ami absolutely void.
We are therefore of opinion that the
lnvrned Judge erred in holding that plain
tiff below might recover If the commis
sioners recognized his sort ices, after the
expiration of his form of efllce as county
solicitor i that such recognition would be a
ratltlcatleil of the original illegal agree
ment, ete.
Plaiutitrs statement of claim avers, and
his own testimony proves, conclusively
that all the services, ler which he claims le
recover compensation, were roudered
under und in rmrsuunce of the original
