MATTERS OF MOMENT
Being Argued by Leading Lawyers
Before the Supreme Court.
BOHE BIG CASES UP YESTERDAY.
A Traction Company Sued for Emglojing
Impolite Conductors.
OTHER HEWS GLEANED IN THE CODETB
Justice Bterrett -was missing from the
chair on the Supreme bench yesterday, hav
ing been called to Philadelphia on im
portant business. The other members were
all on band. The first case taken up for
argument was an Eastern district case,
Commonwealth of Pennsylrania cz rel
Alfred Darte, District Attorney, vs M.
Beynolds. L P. Hand et al.; appeal from
Common Pleas of Luzerne county. The suit
is one against a school board of
the Third district of "Wilkesbarrie
for the alleged violation of an act of as
sembly for the regnlation of school districts
in cities of the third class. The city of
"Wilkesbarre is a city of the third class, and
in January, 1690, the directors of the several
school districts adopted iormal resolutions
accepting the provisions of the act ap
proved May 23, 1SS9, and on February 10,
1S90, presented certified copies of these reso
lutions in the office of the Clerk of Quarter
Sessions of the county. The clerk refused
to receive, file or record these papers
on the giound that the act of
May 23, 18S9, was unconstitutional;
whereupon a majority of the directors of the
Third school district applied to Common
Pleas for a mandamus requiring the Clerk
to file and record these papers. The man
damus was granted and the appeal taken.
The errors charged are that the Court erred
in holding the first section of the act of May
23, 1890, to be constitutional.
AJT APPEAL OP THE VESXSY.
The next argument was the appeal of the
Pennsylvania Company for the Insurance
of Lives from the Orphans' Court. This is
the celebrated Sboenberger will case. Mr.
Sboenberger died in Xew York City on No
vember 12, 18S9, leaving a large estate. He
appointed bis wife, Mrs. Alice Sboenberger,
and A. T. Mason executors of his will rela
tive to that portion situated in Xew York,
and the Pennsylvania Company lor the In
surance ol Lives, of Philadelphia, Andrew
Long, of Pittsburg, J. M. Browuson, of
Pittsburg, and A. J. Hutell, of Philadel
phia, executors and trnstees of that
portion in the States of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois. The
principal pa-t. of the estate is sit
uated' in Allegheny county, consisting
of 5170,840 32 of personalty and $472,000 of
real estate. The will was probated in New
York and an exemplification was subse-
2uently filed with the Kegister of Phtla
elpbia and with S. P. Connor, Esq.,
Hegister of Allegheny county. Mr. Connor,
after an inspection of the will, found that
the principal part of the estate in Pennsyl
vania was in Allegheny county, and it ap
pearing to be subject to a collateral inherit
ance tax, issued a citation upon the executors
to show why tbey should not appear before
liim and take out letters. Having found
Irorn the testimony adduced at the hearing
that the principal part of the estate was in
thi6 county, the Eegiste.- aecreed that he
would issue letters to them upon applying
within ten days and qualifying according
to law, and upon their failure to do so let
ters with the will annexed would be issued
to some other fit person. This decision was
confirmed by the Orphans' Court and the
x appeal taken.
THE ASSIGNMENT OF EKEOKS.
George Sbiras, Jr., argued the case for the
appellant. The errors assigned are that
the Court erred in holding that the action of
the Bcgister lor Philadelphia city and
county, in granting letters testimentary to
the appellants, was void for want of juris
dictioc. The Court erred in sustaining the
action of the Hegister for Alleghenycounty,
and in dismissing the appeal from the same.
The Court erred ic dismissing tbe appeal at
the costs of the appellants.
Tbe appeal of David Goldman from
the decision of the Court of Quarter
Sessions in refusing to grant a whole
sale liquor license, was argued next This
is c case wherein David Goldman was re
fused a license as a wholesale liquor dealer
at the last term of the License Court. The
argument was made by Charles L. Powers,
Esq., and gave as tbe assignments of error
ol the court below that the Court erred in
refusing to grant the petition, of David
Goldman lor a license to sell liquor at
wholesale as prayed for. The lecord show
ing that the petition and bond of David
Goldman were in due form, and that no re
monstrance or objection was filed or made to
the same, and the petitioner bad complied
with the requisites of the law, the court
erred in refusing to grant him a license
as prayed for.
The appeal of Jacob "Weinman from Com
mon Picas No. 2 of Allegheny county was
argued by N. S. Williams. The case is an
action of assumpsit to recover damages for
the breach of an alleged parole contract
aflectinp land. The amount of money in
volved is 57C8 20.
Tie apreal of Dr. J. S. Bankin and Louisa
G. Bankin, his wife, in right of said wife,
from decree of Orphans' Conrtof Allegheny
county, was next taken np for argument
This case is one wherein Mrs. Bankin was
tbe heir of Margaret Griffin, who devised
her certain lands for life, and after her de
cease to go to her children.
A DISCOVERT MADE A BIT LATE.
Some time after, Mrs. Bankin procured a
loan on certain portions of the land, and on
the 28th of September, 1889, presented a pe
tition to Court stating that since the loan
was made and bond and mortgage given she
had been advised that under tbe terms of the
will she. Mrs. Bankin, took an estate tail
ha I .him Amtii in hnlrllnn Ihnt ffin nAtinn r I
in the said land, and that under the terms
the life estate is enlarged to a fee, and that
the money so loaned belonged to ber, and
prayed the Court to decree a satisfaction of
the bond and mortgage for that reason. The
Court decreed that the petition be dis
missed, and the appeal was taken. The
errors assigned are that the Court erred in
dismissing the petition. The Court also
erred iu not granting the petition and in not
dscrecing the satisfaction of the mortgage as
prayed lor.
The appeal of Miloncy Brothers, cer
tiorari to Common Pleas No. 2, was the
next argument on the list This suit grows
out of the division of 544S 20, the balance
of a fend derived from a sale of boots and
chocs in tbe stoie of Frank Hnnika and the
appeal was taken Irom the Auditor's re
port. Tbe appeal of Charles L. Flaccus, from
Common Pleas No. X, was next called up,
J. S. Furgeson, Esq., arguing for the ap
pellant. This case was an action brought
cy Albert Kaiser, to recover damages for
the loss of his right arm by reason of an
injnry received on February 21,
lhST, while working for Mr. Flaccus.
The case was tried three times. Tbe first
trial resulted in a disagreement of the jurv.
On the second trial the plaintiff got a ver
dict of 53,000, but a new trial was allowed,
anJ on tbe third trial the verdict was again
given in favor of the plaintiff for $3,500 and
the appeal taken therefrom.
The assignments of error are that the
Court erred in affirming the plaintiff's sec
ond point, whicn was as follows: "That tbe
concurring negligence of a fellow servant
with the negligence of tbe master, will not
relieve tbe master of liability."
LAST AKQUUKXT OP THE DAT.
T. J. Vandergrift's appeal from Common
Fleas No. 1 was the last argument of the
day. The action in this case is one of as
sumpsit by Eva C. Agerter, to recover rental
or a penalty for delay in operations under
an oil ccd gas lease for a tract oi land In
AHeglijay wunty, Tbe lease was made ou
the 20th of November, 1886, for .a term of
two years, and as much longer as oil and
gas were found in paying quantities. The
lessee was to pay $1 per day from
the date of the lease until a
well was completed. The well was
not completed within two years, and the suit
was entered to compel the payment of the
sum specified, and a judgment obtained in
the lower court. The assigned errors are
that the Court below erred in making the
rule of judgment absolute and in entering
judgment for the plaintiff. The Court alio
erred in not discharging the rule for judg
ment. The arguments set down for to-day are
Sauer vs Schneider, McEenney vs Fawcett,
Graham vs Pennsylvania Company, Engel
vs City of Pittsburg, Bamhauer vs Oity of
Pittsburg, Newton Coal Mining Company's
appeal, Huckenstein & Co. vs The Kelly
Jones Company, Philadelphia Company vs
Clark Bros. & Co., Helliard's appeal,

The Pittsburg Traction Company Asked to
Pony Up 910,000 Damages.
S. E. Bainey yesterday entered suit
against the Pittsburg Traction Company for
$10,000 damages. Bainey states that on
February 7 he boarded car No. 33, at Mar
ket street, to go to Oakland. The conduc.
tor of the car was P. S. Forrest. On the way
out a young man named Edwards made
some remark to the conductor about his
pulling the bell to go ahead before a man

Edwards. "When the car got to Boston
street Edwards wanted to get off,
but Forrest would not stop the car, and
pushed him off. As he did so be kicked
Edwards. Bainey, the plaintiff, was sitting
in the car, and seeing the occurrence, went
to the door and told the conductor he might
have kill d the man. The conductor, be
states, then swore at him, and pushing him
back into the car, knocked him down and
beat him. He finally let him up and ordered
bim off the car. Bainey said be would get
off if the conductor would stop the car, but
the conductor refused, and threw him off at

of
QUEBLSS CONCERNING THE ELECTION
"Working for Ballot Beforxn.
To the Editor of The Dispatch.
By resolution of the Executive Committee
I am directed to inform you that this asso
ciation has noted with gratification your
several expressions of approval of the prin
ciples advocated by this association. The
association is non-partisan and we are
striving, and mean to strive determinedly at
the next session of the Legislature, for the
adoption of our bill, which, if adopted, will
insure to the people of this State the nomi
nation of a higher grade of candidates for
pnblic office than is, on the average, offered
for election under existing conditions. It
will dispense with the cost of printing
tickets by the supporters of the different
candidates (who find it advisable to print
many times the number actually needed),
and dispense with all the machinery for
their distribntion. It will insnre a secret
ballot, eradicate all possibility for the charge
of bribery or intimidation and introduce a
decidedly more convenient mode of voting.
It will give all parties and all candidates an
equal chance, and in point ot economy and
simplicity must recommed itself to every
person who will carefully consider it.
The system proposed has been already
adopted in Massachusetts, and this associa
tion will strenuously oppose any attempts
to adopt only a portion of it in Pennsyl
vania, as has been done in New York, Con
necticut and New Jersey. The approach
ing election in Massachusetts, as did the
last one, will give many illustrations of the
superior operations of the system. Because
ot the agitation of the subject in this State
any explanation you can give of its work
ings in Massachusetts will undoubtedly be
read with much interest by the people of
Pennsylvania. Our efforts are receiving
the greatest encouragement and ample
financial support from individual citizens
and organizations. "We realize, however,
the necessity of the assistance of the news
paper press of the State and earnestly ask
your co-operation in our endeavors.
I am, yours very truly.

Experiments In Asphalts.
To tbe Editor ol The Dispatch:
It seems to me the City Highway Depart
ment is rushing tbe asphalt pavement too
profusely. The only one in this city that
has shown a dollar of wear for a dollar of
expenditure is the Forbes street tar, which
has lasted well these 18 years. The asphalt
that has been put down latterly is a poor pave
ment; so says the expert Father Time, who
has had a year or two to demonstrate. I
understand from experts that there is re
quired as considerable skill to properly mix
asphalt pavement material so to make
crucible steel; that it must be applied just
hot enough or the poultice will be too soft
in warm weather or too brittle when frost
touch :s it A pavement that would be
O. K. for the moist and comparatively
equable climate of England would not
suffice in the climate of Pittsburg. The
fact is that the asphalt now being applied
is an experiment Are not propertybolders
paying too dearly for this, and will not the
city at large be taxed constantly in tbe
future to maintain such pavements in re
pair? My preference at present would be
for -evenly vitrified fire brick, with tar
joints, and I hope ere another paving
season be on that Booth Ss Flmn will
have arranged to accord it to those who
desire that description of roadway. O.
A Republican Ont for Pattison.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
As a Republican I am for Bobert E.
Pattison, and will do all I can for him in
the Twenty-third ward. My reasons for so
doing is not because be is a Democrat, not
because be belongs to that party, but be
cause be is a fearless advocate of honest gov
ernment, and that he is tbe choice of the '
people in this campaign. Mr. Deiamater is
not the nominee oi the Bepublican party.
He is only one man's man. I am for the
man of the people and for the people, a man
of well known and approved political opin
ion, a man of intelligence, a man of integ
rity. "We want a statesman, a reformer
after as well as before the election. A man
of superb moral courage, a man who knows
the wants of the people, and that man is
Bobert E. Pattison. On the other hand we
have the machine and its nominee, Mr. Dei
amater. Their motto is, "To the victor be
longs thelspolls." Thomas McCanx,

A Voting Besldence.
To tbe Editor of The Dispatch:
Be kind enough to answer through your
"Mail Pouch." the following: Can a man
whose business calls bim to a certain place
a teacher for instance gain a voting resi
dence there, provided he promises not to
vote elsewhere or not to vote where his
family reside? There is some discussion
here as to what gives a man a right to vote.
The party referred to above has been here 60
days, has paid his taxes, etc., but has a
family who reside in another county.

FIGHTING QUALITY OF WHISKY.
The Fusel Oil is the Dangerous Part, and
Should be Rectified Oat.
Boston Herald. 1
"Whisky is an alcoholic liquid obtained
by tbe distillation of fermented grain,
usually corn, wheat or rye, but sometimes
from potatoes. This is natural whisky, and
should at least be 3 years of age before use.
There are very few whisky drinkers who
know what fusel oil is. The writer has
heard people talk about fusel oil who
seemed to think that it was something like
kerosene or machine oil put into the whisKy
for'some reason they could not guess.
Now it is this fusel oil which putsnll the
fight craziness and death in whisky, but it
isn't added to the liquor as one would add
water. Ob, no; it grows there, as it were.
Fusel oil is a compound of amy lie and other
alcohols. Now whiskv drinkers have heard
of alcohol as tbey have of fusel oil, but it is
doubtful whether many of them know that
there are a half dozen kinds of alcohol, and
that they all exist in whisky, unless taken
out, as they should be.
There are four alcohols which are
injurious to the human system
when left in whisky. They " are:
Propyl, butyl, amy, caproyl. The power
of tbelr injurious effect is expressed by so
many carbons. For instance, there are
three atoms of carbon in propyl alcohol
and six atoms in caproyl. The alcohol be
low propyl is called ethyl, which is the
dividing line of danger.
All these alcohols named above are re
moved by rectification. If raw spirits are
used in making irbisky, these dangerous
alcohols exist It costs money to rectify
spirits, however, and there is great tempta
tion to use them unrectified. When this is
done the whisky may be classed as "bad."
BIG QO0D-NATTTEED BOGS.
Lions Are Easily Handled and Make Splen
did Performers.
"As a matter of fact," says John B. Doris,
the well-known museum manager, but
formerly a circus proprietor of some 30 years'
experience, in the New fork World, "there
is no animal with which we circus men
have to deal that is so easy to handle and so
safe for a performer as a lion. In every
thing they are just like great big good
natured dogs, easy to train and more than
ordinarily easy to perform. In fact, after
they are once trained to do their tricks, any
body with whom they are acquainted, such
as an attendant or a man whom they have
been accustomed to sec around tbe show, can
go into their cage and put them through
their act with perfect safety. Why, in one
season I had no less than 11 men perform
my lions, and in each case these men were
feeders, canvas men, hostlers and other em
ployes of the circus who would be apt to be
about the animals all the time.
"It is the appearance of the lion and that
dreadful roar of his that strike terror into
the heart of the spectator and cause bim to
think that he is in great danger; but that
roar of the Hon, while so dreadful in sound,
is like a good many other things in the
show business, more of a deception than
otherwise. A lion really only roars when
he is in a particularly good humor, and he
can no more help doing it than can a dog
help barking,"
