Judge Ewing's Opinion on Privilege
of Drilling Through Coal.
TEXT OF THE GUFFT CASE DECREE
J cEtice Clark's reatk May Cause a Change
in the Kulinjr.
LOW AX oriKATOR SCARED THE MIXERS
The trouble belwccn the coal operators on
on? side and petroleum operators on the
oilier, is shaping itself for the Supreme
Court. Two mighty interests like those of
coal and petroleum mining coming in con
flict means a titanic btruegle which will not
he settled until the Supreme Court has had
its say. Many people have expressed sur
prise that the opinion rendered by Judge
Ewing hi dismissing the equity snits of X
11. Bobbins acainst .T. M. Guffy and 3r.
Murphy, same vprsus Greenlee & Forst,
Chartiers lllock Coal Company vs "V. L
Mellon, S. a "Wilson and Georfe "V. Sparks
end the Mansfield Coal and Coke Companv
Yt L. Mellon, in which it was sought to
restrain the oil operators from drilling
through coal mines or through any leased
coal, was never published, and here it is,
rave the references to decisions and the in
troduction, which are hot strictly material
to the point at issue:
A!Pftnnrd Wells Must Bo rinsrsed.
It Ss contended that wells cannot be
drilled through tlic coal to the ga bearing:
strata below without"' greatly and penfta
nrotly injuring the luininz of the coal
everywhere in tlie vicinity of tne well; that
no existing or suggested method ot shut
ting ofT the gas from the coal strata has been
discovered. The oil drillers, on the ot lie
hand, assert that the fias can be success
fully and Mirelv shut off from the coal ty
rncansof methods p.ndappliar.ccs now in use.
The weight of evidence in these preliminary
licaruijrs appears to be on the side of the
contention of the coal operators, and yet it
teems to me that there must be a way of
shutting off the a. by pluggingand provid
ing for pas esraping to the air above the
wi'taee that 'hould be reasonably safe.
What tliat -afe ::'cthcd is I am'iot prepared
to say at nrrcnr. We have found in expeii
ence that hcietoJorc all the absolutely safe
invention sor presenting the escape of
natural pas have in practice failed to meet all
contingencies. Whatever method or shut
ting off the gas be adopted, the addition of a
means for eeip.ng gas to freely reach the
onta air abo e the surface should accom
pany it Abandoned wells should be
pluapedns securely as possible bclnw the
rreoiMirt and coal scam and also below the
Pittbui z seam.
Thesreat preponderance of evidence in
the cases heard before me is to the
effect that kthe diillin; of numerous
lioies lor il through the coal
il' s-eriouslv atlect the market value of the
lodyof coal in their vicinity. Even in the
fsliw:ngof tiieei.crts of the defendants,
who elann tnat the leaving of pillars of
Iroui 59 to WO teet square around each hole
tfrilKC would make it safe, the multiplier
tion of .ncli pillar-, equivalent to so many
rt Tva:io:is sn the coal, would greatly de-pfkft-iau
tiie value of a coal Held and make
miaing more tfifiicult and expensive, even
if it would lie safe. On the other
band, to prevent the owner or the
owrlviiitr and underlying strata from
pass'iur through the coal which he has sold,
to obtain oil or other valuable products,
will, in many cases, deprive the owner of
a proCutt more valuable than the entire
coal.
Kights of VTay Are Defined.
Judge Ewing then dwells at length on the
cjreamstances of the cases at issue, and con
cludes that the boring for oil on the scale
contemplated by the defendants would
considerably depreciate the market
t-Blne of plaintifis' coal vorks.
He likewise rather rasps the defendants for
locating their wells so as in their language
to protect their own laud.but in the Judge's
"to get oil from other land than their own."
He then continues:
Have these defendants a right to ro
through the coal strata to roach their oil?
Tlrey claim a riiht or way by necessity. A
wan shut in by neighbors so that he cannot
pet to a public load has a right
of wav liy ncces-ity. lie then asks:
"Could -uch nsf lit of w ay lor land, agricul
tural only at the time of the grant, be
changed into a riirhr o! way for coal mining
and transportation?'' I think not.
Torthe courts to hold that the owner of
the surface hn-a uhtof way through the
coal lie has granted, down to coal and gas,
oi to search and ascertain as to their exist-c-nce
and u.ake t;ic nzht available, will re
quire a lar-io modification of the rules in
relation tnarisht o: ay over the surface
by ni;ccvit . let my present iuipicssions
arc clr.it it can :iiid should be sustained in
a reasona'.le manner. Having ducrecard to
The interests and liihts of both parties. Rut
it cannot be permitted to an extent that
will Cestroj- the grant of the coal, nc even
to seriously depreciate it without ample
compensation. The owner of the suriace
cannot hure where he pleases nor as often as
lsnlcjses. The tight of designating the
reasonable location of the one right ot ti ay
li v necessity, which the law lecosnizcs, has
always been held to be in the owner of the
land. If heieiuseto designate snch nay,
then the owner of the light of way can
locate it or apply to court to have it located.
Gutty is Called Uam,
His Honor continues at length to review
the peculiar circumstances of the case, and
says:
Gully & Co., on the Elliott farm, and
Greenlee A rrt, on the Mcvey larm, had
ample facility to got to the oil without going
through complainants' coal, and it wonld be
a great stretch of the uoctrine of right of
vay by necessity to allow them to
do so, as by their own testi
mony they could drain all of
the tracts m tin e and that their claim
of proteclin their line was nothing
n, ore nor lr--s than a plea to enable them to
drain their ncigubors' land, but as the wells
in question were near completion "and prat
pro-iHTtix e turns mav be lost to the defend-r.ii-
if now prevented fixiurconipletiiig their
wells, it is In'tterto require liom them am
pp Kecuiitv to indemnify the plaintiff from
all loss to his coal field and works bv reason
f these wells, and thereupon permit the
i-oniiiletion or the wells.
An injunction should issue forbidding tho
lioring l other w ells through the coal w itli
ont i lie ecn-c-ni at the plaintiff, and tor
iMndine (uitiier work on those wells until
ewut it;- ior damages be entered.
I in not rt.pp.trcd, to hold that but one
vwican beutilleu on eacn tract of land,
tl.c dai ot which has ueen conveyed, hut
ev n frnintin- . lint there a right of wavbv
nr-.i j- through the coal, the presanip
tm iajiyms my hut one well. Circum
Ktnnci. ma' arise that w ill render it ndviea
lu to i!oU tin-preliminary injunction.
To peruiit drilling through this coal
Jlclu to the otrat that has been done
in tne iieignhniuood will destroy the value
ol the coal leases granted.
Supreme Court on Kights of Way,
It is not hard to see that Judge Ewing
felt liimself treading on dangerous ground,
but most people took it lor granted that
this was the end of the matter, and that the
coal operators imcht as well hang their
Imrps on the willows, but thev have no
thought of such thin?. On October 2 an
order was made allowing the defendants in
the cases alm.-e named to complete their
wells on condiiion that thev gave ample se
curity to indenmiiy plaintiiTs against dain
uge. 'Iherc are many other cases as well as
those cited above, and the end is not vet by
any means. The naper book has been made
up in the cases cited, and the attorneys are
John G. MacCounell, J. &, Ferguson and
D. T. Watson, and they possibly take some
comfart out ol a decision of the Supreme
Court rendered since Judge Ewing deliv
ered his opinion. It is that in the case of
Lillibridge versus the JLackawanna Coal
Company, Lira. In this case Lillibridge
had sold his coal to the de
fendant company, which had subsequently
gotten the coal Irora the owner of another
piece of laud adjoining that of Lillibridge.
He sought to restrain the Lackawanna
Company from hauling the coal from ?,.
other tract through his land in the space or
through the tunnels Irom which they had
taken tfae coal. Thex Supreme Court di
vided on the question, but the majority
taid that the coal operator owned a fee
biinple in the space left by taking out the
coal, owned it as absolutely as the owner ot
the l&cd did the surface and could use it in
any way not injurious to the owner of the
surface.
Justices Sterrett, McCollum and Mitchel
dissented. , ,
Clark's Death Slay Chnngo Matters.
Xow, this wonld appear to make the posi
tion of the coal operator? in this county im
pregnable, but, possibly, for One fact:
Sinccthe above decision was made Justice
Clark has died and Mr. Heydrick takes his
place, and of course Messrs. MacConnell,
Ferguson, "Watson et al do not know how
he may regard the question. If it be held"
that the coal operators own the coal and the
space left bv taking it out in tee
simple, of course it would seem
that an oil well operator would be
obliged to deal with them before
beginning operations, as well as wjththe
owner of'the surface and the underpinning.
The matter is a far reaching one. For in
stance, Hog Island has been bored for oil.
Kow- some people have a patcntTfor the sur
face and it is believed that the underlying
vein of coal has been patented by other
parties, as the vein under the rivers here
abouts was generally taken up year3 ago.
If the Supreme Court reaffirm itself there
maybe a further complication in the Hog
Island war.
Odd Features in These Cases.
The coal operators will be strongly
backed in some quarters. At the late meet
ing of the Mining Engineers' Institute, this
question was deemed one of the most im
portant discussed. Inspector Blick repre
sented that in the mines in and about the
McDonald field he found oil in many places
on the pit floor, and there was no dissent
from his opinion that it added greatly to the
hazard of mining coal.
On the other hand some peonle interested
in petroleum development sav that some
coal operators, and not a lew either, have so
little taith in the position thev assume that
they have drilled oil wells themselves
through their own coal. This, of course,
does not alter the legal aspect of the cae.
It seems they had some royal fun while a
well was being drilled through the Big
Jumbo mine. The coal operators took
their bearings and placed a large piece of"
iron in the chamber where the drill would
strike. The drillers pounded away lor a
time, and, finally taking a tumble to them
selves, gave out "information casually, as it
seemed, that they intended to put a go
devil in the shape of a nitro-glycerine
bomb down the hole and blow the obstruc
tion out. This so frightened the miners
that the operators had difficulty lor some
time in getting the mine worked.
SIGNED 3Y PEESIDENT MADISON.
A Quaint Old Deed Turned TJp in a Fenn
Avrnne Sle.
The sale of the Seibert property at Penn
avenue and Garrison alley to Mrs. Herst
on Thursday unearthed quite a curiosity in
the shape of the original deed lor the plot.
This paper was executed March 13, 1816,
between "the United States on the first
part and Stephen Itemington on the second
part." The entire indenture is written out,
and states that according to the act
of Congress passed August 2, 1813,
authorizing the sale of lots !'l,
92. 93 and 94 in that portion
of the plot known as Fort Lafayette the
lots were sub-divided into IS building lots
and occupied all that mace bounded by
1'enn avenue, Garrison alley, Liberty anil
Ninth streets. The lot sold to Itemington
was Xo. 18, at the corner of Garrison alley
and Penn avenue. The sale was conducted
by Commissioners Adamson, Tannehill aud
Abraham II. "Wolley, who were appointed
bv the President. The p'rice paid was
Si,54G GG. (Mrs. Herst paid 573.100 tor
the same plot.) The money was paid to
the Bank of Pittsburg, which was the
UniteM States depository at that time. The
deed winds up with the following:
In testimony whercot .Tames madison.
President of the United States, hath here

A Triple Crown, Glvinc Expression to Great
Mnsical Genius.
Louis Mass' name and personality are
well known in all musical centers ofthe
"United States as well as Europe. A.t an
early age he was professor at, the Leipsic
Conservatory of Music, and in 1881-82 was
the conductor ot the Philharmonic Society
of Boston. His compositions are of the
highest order, including an American sym
phony, piano concerto, etc., etc As a
pianist he made several tours in Europe and
America, gaining a great reputation, and-
ranking among the greatest pianists ot the
musical world.
In an interview with a reporter of the St.
Louis Spectator, April 12, 1884, Dr. Mass
said of the Henry F. Miller pianos, which
he always U6ed in his concerts:
"I have never used a pianoanywhere that
had the smoothness of action, the brilliancy
of tone and the carrying power that that in
strument has. The Miller pianos are, in
my estimation, the finest now made."

It's the attention of the ladies that
we claim to-day. Only'the gentler sex
can appreciate the values we offer in
the articles enumerated below.
Now to the point: We have just
opened one ofthe largest and choicest
lines of Embroideries, direct from the
manufacturer, that it has ever been
our pleasure to place on display.
From the most dainty little baby
edging up to the finest skirting, prices
will astonish you. These goods are
the regular Hamburgs, fine Nainsook,
Cambric, Swiss, etc. One lot in an
endless variety of patterns, at 5c, 7c,
8c and 10c; better and wider, i2c
and 15c. The goods have no equal in
style and width. As for the 20c and
25c goods they excel anything ever
seen before for quality and patterns.
Next on the list are our 18, 24 and
27-inch Flouncings, for children's
dresses, in solid embroidery and hem
stitched, from 38c to 31.25 per yard.
Just see them.
Our 45-inch Skirtings from 65c to
2 are certainly the best values ever
seen in this market. In all-overs to
match, you will find a better assort
ment and at lower prices than else
where. The variety of these fine hand
made goods is so large that we can
neither spare time nor space to
enumerate them. We have the finest
little edges as well as the heavier
width goods, in prices from 3c to 30c.
Medici Laces from 6c to 75c per
yard. Oriental and Fancy Trimming
Laces in endless variety.
Inspect our immense line of new
Lace Curtains just opened. Whether
you need a set of Curtains' just now,
or don't expect to Use them until
after "moving day," it will pay you
handsomely to buy them while the
variety is so great and .prices are at
low-water mark.
XRemember, in our Cloak De
partment we offer the most remarka
ble bargains in Fur Capes, Fur
Trimmed Jackets, Plush Jackets, Cape
Newmarkets, etc. After pricing Win
ter Garments in other stores, come
right here and be convinced that our
figures are the lowest.
