8 THE PITTSBURG . DISPATCH, ' TUESDAY. MARCH 17, 1891' KNOCKED OUT AGAIN. The Supreme Court Once More De cides Against the City of Pitts burg and Its Street Laws. AN OPINION BY JUDGE WILLIAMS. Be Sustains the Lower Court, and the In junctions Issued Thereby, in Each of tho Three Cases. THE TJKFOETUNATE OUTCOME DEPLORED (he Vij Oct cf the Dtaaat, trd the Legislitsre Mut rmJsiThit Justice "Williams, of the State Supreme Court, yesterday handed down the long ex pected and anxiously awaited opinions of the court in the three Pittsburg street cases. The court decides the cases against the city, nnd sustains the injunction in each case, affirming the decrees of the lower court, and dismisses the appeals at the costs of the ap pellants. The court in its opinion deplores the unfortunate predicament into which the city of Pittsburg has been placed by the street laws and suggests that the only method out of it is the Legislature. The opinion of Judee Williams in the case of the appeals of the City of Pittsburg from the decree of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny county No. 1, reads as follows: "These aiapeals are a part of a series of cases brought into this court in order to de termine the extent tn which the city of Pitts burg is affected by the decision in the ap peals of Wilbert, Engel, et al made in Jan nary last. The importance of these cases to the officers and the property holders of the city was such that we felt it our duty to facilitate the final hearing. "We accordingly transferred them to the Eastern district, ad vanced them on the calendar and have given them full and patient examination. "We acknowledge our indebtedness to coun relforthe results of this research, and for the fairness with which they hare, both in their oral and written argumentl, treated the question involved. Tho Two Questions That Were liaised. "The court below enjoined the city against the makinc of awards in favor of those dam aged by the improvements in progress, and the assessment oi such damages with the costs against property benefited, and also against the collection of liens entered upon such assessments already made. An appeal from that decree raises two questions: Fust Is the rule laid down in appeals of "Wilbert et al to be adhered to? Second If to, are there not enough of the provisions of the acts of 1887 and 1SS9, known as "the street acts," remaining to enable the city to proceed with its improvements at the ex pense of property benefited by them? "The first of these questions was not seri ously pressed in the argument; two of onr brethren did not concur in all the reasons lor the judgment in the appeals of Wilbert et al., but- they concurred iu the judgment entered. "Ve think it stands on solid grounds, and shall not enter upon a reex amination of it. Referring to it as the start ing point from which to begin the examina tion oi this case, we will consider very briefly the second question, viz: to what extent the acts of 1887 and 1889 are-affected by the de cision in this case. "It will be seen upon looking into these acts, of which we will speak as the "Street acts," that they were intended to establish a system to be made use of by the city for opening and grading streets and making other municipal improvements at the ex pense of property in their immediate neigh borhood, which would be increased in value because of them. A System That Formerly Prevailed. "A somewhat different system had pre vailed previously. The foot-front rule was in use in some portions of the territory em braced within the city limits; in other por tions this was not applicable, because the property in them was rural in character. The street acts undertook to provide a uni form system and apply it to all Improve ments within the city. It was based on the nsumption that wherever one lot owner was injured by taking his land, or by change of prade in the street boundary, if it is eitner side, some other lot owner was correspond ingly benefited and ought, therefore, to pay his neighbor's loss. Proceeding upon this (theory the street acts provided for a prelim inary inquiry in every case where a new improvement was proposed, to ascertain whether damage would be inflicted upon Buy lot owner by impiovement, if made, and whether corresponding benefits would 'result to other lot owners therefrom. "This inquiry was made by the Board of "Viewers. If they reported that the damages would exceed the benefits, then, as we under stand the street acts, the prospect was for the time abandoned. If they reported that the benefits would be sufficient to pay dam ages and expeoses, then the city proceeded to direct the improvement to be made. After this was done the viewers made a detailed estimate and award of damages, sustained by those whose property was taken or in jured, and report the same to city. The aggregate of these awards, with all the costs and expenses, was then to be assessed upon the property benefited. "When the assess ment was completed it was returned to the Councils for adjustment and collection. If cot paid on notice municipal liens were entered agaiDst the property assessed, and proceedings were taken to collect the same by levy to and sale by the Sheriff. An Indispensable Adjunct of the System. "The Bojrd of Viewers is thus made an indispensable part of the system. Without its agency no improvement can be under taken except by the city, and at its own cost. An assessment of damages cannot be had except through the action of the Board of Viewers the assessment of benefits must be made by it The report of the board is the basis on which leins for the sums as eessed.or benefits must rest when the work of the Board of Viewers is taken out of the system. All that depends upon that work goes with it and the system itself is liter ally eviscerated. "The Jew detached and unrelated sections that might remain are without significance jOr value, and ought not to survive the system to which they belonged. The system provided by the street acts must fall as a whole. The way will thus be clear for the enactment of a street law for cities of the Second class. "As nothing remains of the system pro vided by the acts of 1887 and 1889, it is hardly necessary to say that its authority cannot survive for any purpose. All the preliminary reports made by it fall, and no improvements can be ordered under them, all the assessments of damages and benefits fall, and all the uncollected, liens entered upon these essessments go with the assessments. All work done or to be done upon these improvements, as the law now Stands, must be paid for by the city; all the damages inflicted upon lot holders must be recovered from the city. fo Escape Except in legislation. "There is no pcssible escape from the dilemma in which the city is placed bv the unfortunate legis'ation of 1887 and 1889, ex cept through the Legislature, and We have made haste to dispose of these cases in order that there inigEt be time for that body to give proper consideration to the subjects. "There are two cities of the second class M this time. t the end of the present decade the city of Scranton, and probably one or two more, may be brought by their growth in population into it. A system should be prepared for cities of the second class that shall not undertake to transfer the powers of the courts of law to City Conncils or to regulate the practice in the courts by reference to the town or city in which they are held; that shall not deny to the citizens free access to the courts for redress for injuries, and that shall not treat the ascertainment of damaces sustained by a citizen by reason of an entry upon his land 'under the power of eminent domain, as a matter of municipal control. "We do not doubt the readiness or the ability of our brethren who compose the legislative department of the Government to provide such a system in the time still at their disposal. Until this is done the in junction must remain in full force. "The decrees appealed from are affirmed and tbe-appeals dismissed at cost of the ap pellant." ' The opinion of the Court in the cross suits of George I. Whitney and others goes over much the same grounds and sums up as fol lows: "The city of Pittsburg is now legally organized as a city of the second class and must stand on the system provided for that class of cities. The Mayor, Conncils and other officers continue iu possession of their powers an'd for their duties as the heads of 'departments newly created officer that they must look to the act creating tnem ior tneir power. The opinions of many people interested in the decision were gathered by DISPATCH reporters, and will be found in another part of this issue. AN ASIATIC VISITOR.. Visit of a Distinguished Syrian Priest His Work, and How the Church Assists Him Kev. Father aiaroon Farah's Pil grimage Through America. A very distinguished priest, and the only onevf the kind ever known of in this part of the world, has been id the city several days, bnt leaves to-day. The distinguished visitor, who is known in his country as a JIaronite. is the Eev. Father Maroon Farab. He is from a diocese in Syria, in Southern Asia, and is making a tour for the interest and spiritual welfare of Syrians in the United States. It was at the request of the Archbishop Estavanas Evarios, of the diocese in Tripolis, that he undertook the task of performing the long and ardu ous mission for the spiritual welfare of bis countrymen in the new world. Father Farah since he has been here has been a guest of the Carmelite fathers in St. Augustine's Church in Uawrenceville. During his brief stay here he held special services in the church. Father Farah landed in this country on the Pacific slope in San Francisco, and from Chica'go, where he found the greatest number of Syrians, he came direct to this city. He said that the largest number of Syrians in any one place in this country is in Chicago, where it will not be long until the first Syrian Catholic Church in the New World will be built. The visiting priest will go from here to Johnstown, where he will also remain a few days, and from there he will depart for the dioceses of Erie and Buffalo. A priest, in speaking to a representative of The Dispatch about this distinguished Syrian priest, said: "Father Farah is a secular priest; he cannot speak English, French or even German. He travels in company with a Syrian gentleman named Hagie S. Ma barak, who is an able linguist and master of the English and French languages. Syria has a copulation oi oUU.UUU inhabitants, with two Archbishops and nine bishops. Father Farah is a relative to Archbishop Joseph .Debs, of the diocese Beiruth, in the Province Lebanon, in Syria. His visit to this country has been heartily sanctioned by his Eminence, Cardinal Simeoni, pre fect at the Propaganda in Borne, and who has indorsed the documents necessary for such an important and Jong mission. Just as the strange priest arrived He was visited by a committee of priests from here, who presented him with a handsome purse. It is in this way that he is aided from plac: to place in order to bear his traveling ex penses." With Father Farah and the Syrian Catholics is a feature or a privilege which has not yet been granted to any of the other Catholics in this country. The fact is well known to nearly everybody that outside of the teachings or instructions in the Catholic Church, the divine services are all held in the Latin language, but as the Greek, the Syrian and the Latin are among the oldest languages in the world, the Church has decreed that the Greek and Syrian, if de sired, may be substituted for the Latin. Therefore, the visit of this priest makes it the first occasion ever known in this coun try where a priest celebrated mass to the people in their own native tongue.

He Remembers the Name of a Colored Man Whom He Hadn't Seen for Tear. Uncle Jerry McKinnie, of the Anderson, relates an incident which shows Secretary Blaine's wonderful ability to remember names and faces. It is said of Henry Clay that once having met a man he never forgo.. hlm, and years afterward at sonle chance meeting the great orator would greet his visitor as if he had known him all his life. During one of his visits to the city "Mr. Blaine stopped st the Anderson. Zach Males is the aged colored man who attends to the ladies' entrance. When the Secre tary came in the old man was there to see him with a gratified smile on his face. "How are you, Mr. Blaine?" he said. "And how are you, Zach," the statesman answered. Poor old Zach was dumfounded. He ex pected no such recognition and greeting. "Why, Mr. Blaine," he replied nervously, "I would know you if I had never seen you from your pictures, but how did you know my name was Zach?" "Well, that is easy," said Mr. Blaine, laughing. "Don't you remember, Zach, when I went to school at the Washington and Jefferson College 50 years ago? I lived with my uncle and you worked for him. I have not seen yen lor years since, bnt forget your face and name Zacb, I never could." The aged colored man was delighted that so great a man should remember him, and he loves to tell how the Secretary of State and he met on that memorable occasion, to him, at least. BAUT EXPECTED TO-DAY. Settled 'Weather Not Looked for Until After St. Patrick' Day. "I never look for settled weather," said a business man at the Dnquesne yesterday, "until after St Patrick's Day. I will wager that it will rain to-morrow, for I do not re member a sunshiny birthday for that saint. It is not his fault, but St. Patrick was un fortunate in being born during this part of March. "I want to call attention -to the fact that the old saw about the groundhog seeing his shadow has proved true this year. He dis appeared into his hole and took the weather with him. We have been having the winter a month or two after its time." Building Oat of OU Profits.
