Scottdaxe, r'ebi 29. Mikey Covosta is
a little Hungarian boy, 2 years old, who
smokes several pipes and cigars every day.
At rare times he takes a quid of tobacco in
his mouth and chews it as dexterously and
spits out the brown juice as scientifically as
some old stager of CO. His father, John
Covosta, is a coke drawer and lives near
Morgan's station. He came to this country
from Hungary with his wile shortly before
little Mikey was born.
When TllK DisvATCn correspondent en
tered the house to-day little Mikey was sit
ting on the floor, his head was bent over
and his lack-luster eyes were closed. His
1 face was ghastly and the whitest I ever saw
among the Hungarians, who are a dark-faced
race. His father shook him roughly and
the boy dropped the dirty black pipe he
was clutching in one hand. Then he awoke
exactly as a person does alter being drugged.
He sle'eps thus nearly the whole day except
when he takes a little food or sucks away
at the vile pipe, ith evidently the same
eniovment another babv takes in his milk.
tlic boy looked up with dull eves while I
tried to mate him smile; but nothing would
induce him to part his tightly-drawn lips.
Just then a ray of bright sunshine came in
at the windowand clayed on the black floor
near Jiikey's icet; but he did not pay the
le.ist attention to It or try to catch it as
other children might.
Mikey was given a lizhted pipe about a
venr ago, and, with baby instinct, put tho
stem in his mouth. Then he gave a little
draw, and the men around laughed when ho
made ugly faco over it. This was wueie ho
was taught the habit that has clung tena
ciously to him ever since. The Huns would
loan him their filthy pipes and'watch him in
the afternoons when they gathered after
w ork at Covasta's lionse.
The baby was rather nrctty, but his face
had a pallorlike that of the dead. The habit
his parents allowed to grow is stronger than
it is upon most men, and will in a short time
cause its death.
Covasta tried to tell me that the habit was
born in the child. The boy is wonderfully
stunte'l in his growth, and spends the
greater part of tho day sitting on the floor
sleeping. His sleep is unnatural and rest
less. I took a cigar from my pocket and hold it
up. For the first time during my call the
baby's eves brightened as he reached lor the
cigar. When I put it back in my pocket his
lip fell and he looked as if he was going to
cry. His father began to prepare the vile
pipe for the baby, so 1 gave Mikey the cigar
and he clutched it with a pleased expres
sion. One strange teatuie ot the case is that
he will not smoke cigarettes, but seems to
utterly hato them.
To-morrow Covasta, his wife, little Mike
and the babv start for the fatherland. Little
Mike, I'fear, will never see the home of bis
parents. The white-faced little fellow is
suffering from acnte nicotine poisoning and
tobacco heart. His father does not seem to
care whether the child is broken of the habit
or not,
BIG TAXATION CONTESTS.
tYestlnghoute Companies Claim Exemption
in Dauphin County Courts.
IIaKrisbceo, Feb. 29. Jnages Simonton
and McPherson, of the Dauphin County
Court, held a special term of court begin
ning to-day for the trial of State tax cases.
Among the most important were three
against the ITestingbouse Airbrake Com
pany, being claims of the State for taxes on
capital stock Tor 1833 amounting to $39,7SS 40;
lor 1S30 amounting to $14,811 15, and for 1891
amounting to $52,314 67. M. E. Olmstead, ot
this city, counsel for the company, argued
that the company was not liable to any tax
n hatcver, being exempt as a manutacturing
corporation. Attorney General Hensel auu
Deputy Attorney General Stranahan con
tended that the act of 1S89 exempts only
companies which are organized exclusively
lor manufacturing purposes, and that the
Aubrake vomoany owns some property
not immediately connected with its manu
larturing plant.
Tho next cases called were against tho
Wcstinghouse Electric Compan v. involving
similar taxation lor the years 1888, 1S83 and
li!M, Tor large amounts. The grounds of con
teat are the same as in the Airbrake Com
pany rase. In addition the Westinghouso
counsel contend that this was a business
winch could just as well be carried on in
New Jersey, here the tax is 1 mill, as in
Pennsylvania, where if liable at all, the
company is liable to 3 mills, and he thought
it is the intention of the Legislatute to
exempt Jest such companies as these and
encoura.e them to maintain tliciroperations
in this State. If this company is to bo taxed
und other manufacturing companies ex
empted, then the act is unconstitutional,
becanse it doesnot impose uniform taxation.
The same counsel also argued several cases
involving the taxation ot Pullman's Palace
Car Company and the Woodruff Palace Car
Company. In all tho above cases the Court
uiok the papers and reserved its decision.
OUTWITTED THE PENH8Y.
The B. iO. R.K.to Invade Its Coal Terri
tory in Cambria Connty.
JonssTows, Feb. 29. Special. A move
ment is now on foot by which the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad will penetrate the rich
bituminous coal fields of the northern part
of Cambria. Some years ago the Pennsylva
nia Railroad, in consideration of track room
privileges, transferred to the Cambria. Iron
Company its rights in the Old Portage Rail
road from this place to a point above Cone
maugh, retaining only the privilege of lay
ing a side track to the Gautier Steel
Works. Now, bv an amicablo agree
ment between the Cambria Company and the
Baltimore and Ohio, it is said this rbnte will
be used bv the latter, crossing the Pennsyl
vania by means of an oveihead bridge near
tho viaduct at South Fork.
The exticmely iriendly attitude of the
Cambria Company to the Valtimoie and
Ohio is explained by the fact that the iron
works owns large blocks of the latter's
stock in the branch load oxtending from
Rockwood to their works at this place. The
Pennsylvania is not idle, and their branch
to the coal fields of the north is being
rapidly pushed. Since this now move of the
Baltimore and Ohio has become public, the
Pennsylvania has determined to also build
a diverging branch to the Black Lick coal
fields.

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAI
rcricuu. telegram to the dispatch.!
New Okleas, Feb. 29. The postpone
ment of the Needham-Ryan fight to-nighty
was not known until a short time before
the hour fixed for the fight, 7 o'clock,
and the amphitheater of the Metropolitan
was crowded with people. The announce
ment was made that the fight was ofl be
cause of Evan's sickness. The club is a
heavy loser by the affair, for it has been
compelled to relund some $10,000 ticket
money taken in. Ryan, it seems, is subject
to tonsilitis. Yesterday a number of his
Chicago admirers were present and to show
them what he could do, he punched the bag
vigorously and got himself into a profuse
perspiration. The weather turned a little
cooler and the result was a slight
cold. It showed itself this morning
in considerable irritation of the
throat and as the cold advanced got
worse and finally developed into a fever.
Dr. Hunter pronounced Evan to be suffer
ing from a severe attack of tonsilitis and
that it would be at least a week before he
would be fit to enter the ring.
The club agreed to pay all of Ueedham's
expenses if he will wait until Eyan is
ready to fight. It is not yet certain whether
Xcedham will accept this offer.
Tho Unknown Men.
There have been numerous reports as to
who the two unknowj are who will box
Mitchell and Slavin before the Olympic
Club Wednesday night. To-day it is said
that the two unknowns are the California
pugilists, Choynski and Greggins, and that
Choynski will meet Mitchell and Greggins
Slavin. The betting is unchanged here bat
is growing more active. It is even as yet,
but the majority of the sporting men arriv
ing believe that Maher will win. The
chances are that it will be a little in his favor.
When Maher enters the ring he will weigh
from 175 to ISO pounds. A rumor was
started last night that Maher had got drunk
Saturday night, and had had a row with
Madden, in which he had hammered the
latter, but this was thoroughly exploded to
day as a roorbach to affect the betting.
There is now no doubt that Maher will not
be here until the morning of the fight, and
Madden is keeping his man well out of
sight Fitzsimmons will not see him until
he enters the ring, which was also the case
when he met Jack Dempsey,
Regarding Eyan's sickness there is a gen
eral disappointment of course.
Mr. Abe Copoet, the President, was seen
and said: "About noon I went out to see
Tommy Ryan at his quarters on Canal street,
and found him in bed. He said he was
suffering from sore throat caused by a cold,
but otherwise was feeling well. He thought
he would be able to go on with the fight.
Jack Burke and several others were apply
ing poultices to his throat. Lou Honsman
and Billy Myer thought it would only be a
slight trouble, and would not interfere with
the contest this evening.
Sir. Copper's Statement.
"When I was going away I told Eyan
that I would call later. He replied that if
he didn't feel any better he wouldn't be
able to go on this evening, but he hoped to
improve before night. The doctor had been
there and left a prescription for a throat
wash.
"I returned and saw Eyan about 420
o'clock and found him apparently much
worse. His throat was very much inflamed
and swollen with hard tumors on the out
side of the neck. We suggested that he see
a physician and in company with Lou Hous
man, Billy Myer, H. A. Varnell and other
Chicago friends proceeded with him in a car
riage to the Hotel Dieu. We found the phy
sician outside,but we repaired to the Charity
Hospital and called for Dr. A. B. Myles.
The doctor being out we drove to the office
of Dr. J. D. Hunter, where, an examina
tion of Tommy Eyan was made. Dr. Hunter
examined Eyan's throat and found that he
was suffering lrom a sore throat and fever,
his temperature being 101. Being asked for
an official certificate of Eyan's condition,
the doctor handed me the following:
New Orleans, February 29.
I hereby certify that I have to-day ex
amined Mr. Thomas Ryan and find that he
8uffeis from an affection of the throat
(tonsilitis), with fever. This requires
medical attention. It will require at least
two w eeks to lestore his health.

Be Talks About the Betting Being 3 to 1 in
Favor of Fitzsimmons.
Montgomery. Ala., Feb. 29. Two young
Irishmen, both evidently sports, attended
morning services at the Catholic Church
yesterday. One was Maher, who is to meet
Boh Fitzsimmons in the prize ring at New
Orleans on Wednesday night, "ho dther
was Jack f'alicn, one of his backers and
trainers.
In an interview with Billy Madden regard
ing Mailer's condition and character, he
said: "Peter is a boy: he don't care to trip
about being among the sports. Why, if he
wins that fight, he will go off with some
Irish friend or other and dance with the
gills at some Irish reel. You won't catch
him among the sports."
"Do ou think he will win?"
"I d"on't know; wo are not bragging. I
understand the betting is 3 to 1 in Fitzsim
mon's favor. I've got $20,000 with me to
back Peter at such odds as that, and I'll
either lose or win."
"Is he in good health?"
"Yes, tip top. "But you can just say this
for me, if Fitzsimmons is in the condition
he is cracked up to be by tho newspapers
he is in just twice as good a condition as
Peter."
"What does Maher weight"
"The last time lin was weighed he showed
up at 177 pounds. When he goes in tho ring
he'll weigh about ITS pounds. He's 5 feet
11 inches, 23 yeais old, and the pluckiest
boy (ever saw m my Hie."

also said to havo arrived in the city -very
quietly- and hidden himself from public
view. Jim Hall is here, and if Fitzsimmons
wins, he will challenge him to meet at catch
weights. He says he cannot get down to
middle-weight any more, and does not think
that Fitzsimmons can either.
THE MAGNATES.
Mr. Brash, One or Them, Says s Word
or Two.
New York, Feb. 29. Special. The base
ball schedule makers had not succeeded at
theeloseof their labors on Saturday even
ing in agreeing on dates, and they will havo
to put in some lively work to-day in order to
get a schedule in shane for presentation to
the League meeting to-morrow. There
seems to be a hitch at some point, which is
causing trouble.
John T. Brash, of Indianapolis, who is
President of the Cincinnati Club, and always
goes very early to League meetings, sat in
his room at the Hoffman House yesterday
gazing into the dancing flames of a grate
fire. "Tho baseball sky looks very bright; I
cannot discern a cloud,'' be said, witrrpoetio
fervor.
"What about Richardson!"
This.query brought Mr. Brush out of his
pleasant reverie and added several wrinkles
to his brow.
"I have no reason to believe," he said in
cold, chilling tones, "that the assignments
of the Committee on Players will be dis
turbed. There seems to be no good ground
why the question should be reopened," and
tho tloosfer-Buckeve magnate shut his teeth
as; though the matter were settled for all
time.
"But what about the option clause in
Bichardson's contract?"
"That amounts to nothing. So far as op
tions ana agreements are concerned, Cincin
nati ha'd a valid agreement with" Jack Boyle,
but w do not seem to have that player."
That remark of Mr. Brush's let the caj ont
or the Dag. Boyle, whom Cincinnati tried to
get, came to New York. Hence Mr. Brush is
not overanxious to see New York get Eich
ardson. When his attention was called to
the lact that Chicago now holds Ffeffer on
the option clause in this contract, Mr,
Brush sniffed incredulouslv. In fact, Mr.
Brush, of Indianapolis, and President Brush,
of Cincinnati, dors not feel kindly disposed
toward New York.
THE SPECIAL WEST.
A Sleeting Held but a Little Misunder
standing Spoils It.
Milwaukee, Feb. 29. A meeting of
the Special Western Association Commit
tee appointed to award the Minneapolis
baseball franchise was held here this morn
ing, but the question was not disposed of
when the meeting adjourned. There were
present B, W. Maguire, of Chicago, who held
the proxy of L. C. Krauthoff, of Kansas City;
Thomas H. tj'ill, of Chicago, representing Mr.
Evans, the Columbus member or the commit
tee, and J. C. Iverson, of Milwaukee, the
third member of the committee. What was
done in the secret session of tho comraltteo
was not stated further than that a decision
would be made some time next week.
nowever, Baron Hach has the best of it so
far, and the committee's decision is
likely to be In his favor. The committee
heard the claims of Sam Morton for the
Flour City franchise, as presented by Frank
A. Larrabee, a Minneapolis attorney. Louis
Harrison, a Minneapolis commissionman,
and a backer In the pioposed enterprise,
made statements to the committee which
probably impressed tho gentlemen who are
to decide between. Hach and Morton more
than any other argument that could have
been made. If Hach is to get the franchise
Harrison will probably give a substantial
guarantee that Minneapolis will play the
season out.

f (riCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
Washington, Feb. 29. The Supreme
Court reconvened to-day for the spring ses
sion. A long list of unusually important
and interesting cases were disposed of, and
the attendance of attorneys was large,
among them being Attorney General Miller,
B. F. Butler, ex-Secretary Boutwell, Sen
ators Davis and Kenna, Solicitor General
Taft and ex-Representative Payson.
The right of the Speaker of the House to
count a quorum as was done In the Fifty
first Congress, was unanimously affirmed bjr
the court in an opinion delivered by Justice
Brewer, in the case of the United States
against Ballin, Joseph & Co., appealed from
the New .York Circuit Court. This case in
volved the validity of the law passed May
9, 1891, and known as the worsted classifica
tion act. "When it was before the
House for action, 138 votes were
recorded for the passage of the
bill, whereupon the Speaker proceeded
to make a quorum by counting several Rep
resentatives present, but not voting, pur
suant to a rule adopted by the House for
such cases. "This rule was valid," said
Justice Brewer; "it is within the compe
tency of the Legislature to enact any law
not forbidden by the Constitution or against
natural justice to secure the presence of a
quorum, and when that quorum is present
it is there for the purpose of doing busi
ness." Why the Act Is Upheld.
As to the meaning of the act, Justice
Brewer said it was a general instruction to
the Secretary of the Treasury to classify as
worsted goods all imported woolen goods,
and that he was not required in every par
ticular case of importation to make the
change by special order. The conclusion of
the court is that the act was legal and that
by its own terms, and irrespective of any
action by the Secretary of the Treasury the
duties on worsted cloths were to be such as
were placed by the act of 1883 on woolen
clotb. The judgment was reversed and the
case remanded.
The decision of the Supreme Court in the
well-known case of Trinity Church, of New
York City, against the United States, was
announced by Justice Brewer. This case
arose under the alien contract labor law.
The vestry of Trinity Church contracted
with the Rev. Mr. Warren, of England, to
serve as rector, for which the vestrymen
and rector were indicted for violating the
law. They were fined $1,000 by the Circuit
Court of New York and appealed. Justice
Brewer said that while the services to be
rendered by the rector to the church might
come within the letter of the law, they cer
tainly am not come within its spirit, and
the judgment of the lower court was there
fore reversed.
Objections to the McKlnley Bill.
The decision of the Supreme Court in the
case of Marshall, Field & Co., of Chicago,
R. M. Boyd et al and Charles Sternback et
-al, of New York, yersus the United States,
involving the validity of the McKinley
tariff bill, was delivered by Justice Harlan.
Duties were assessed on various articles im
ported by the appellants under the McKin
ley bill, and they protested against paying
them on the ground that the act was not
the law of the United States for
the reason that section 30 of the
act, as it passed both Houses
and was agreed to in conference, was
omitted from the enrolled bill signed by
the presiding officers of the two Houses,
and by the President, and that therefore, it
did not comply with the requirements of
the Constitution. This was the first time
the question was presented to the Court
and Justice Harlan said it received the con
sideration it deserved. After referring to
the constitutional requirements respect
ing the passage of the bill and the proceed
ings of Congress, the Court says:
Signatures Guarantee Accuracy.
The signing by the Speaker of the House
of Bepresentatives and by the President of
the Senate, in open session, of an enrolled bill
is an official attestation by the two Houses
of such a bill as ono that has passed Con
gress. And when a bill thus attested re
ceives his (the President's) approval and is
deposited in the public archives, its au
thentication as a bill that has passed Con
giess should be deemed complete and unim
peachable. It is admitted tnat an em oiled
act thus authenticated is sufficient evidence
of itself nothing to the contrary appealing
ltDon its face that It passed Congress. But
the contention is that it cannot be tegarded
as a law of the United States if the Journal
of either House fails to show that it passed
in the precise form in which it was signed
by the presiding officers of the two Houses
and approved by the President. It is said
that under any other view it becomes pos
sible tor the Speaker of the House Qf Bepre
sentatives and the President of the Senate
to impose upon the people as a law a bill
that was never passed by Congress.
Not a Serlons Consideration.
But this possibility is too remote to be
seriously considered in the present inquiry.
It suggests a deliberate conspiracy.to which
.the presiding officers, ,the Committee on En
rolled Bills and the clerks of the two Houses
must necessarily be parties, all acting with
a common purpose to.defeat an expression
oi tne popular will in tne nioue aesciiDea
by the Constitution. Judicial action, based
upon such a suggestion, is forbidden by
the respect due to a co-ordinate
branch of the Government. The evils
that may result from the recognition of
the principle that an enrolled act in the ens
tody or the Secretary of State.at tested by the
signatures of the presiding officers of the
two Houses of Congress and the approval of
the President, is conclusive evidence that it
was passed by Congress according to the
forms of the Constitution would be far less
than those that would certainly result from
a rule making the validity of Congressional
enactments depend upon the manner in
which the Journals of the respective bouses
aie kept by the subordinate officers charged
with the duty of keeping them.
In support ot this view numerous deci
sions are quoted. The judgment of the
courts below sustaining the validity of the
act were affirmed.
Anarchist! Mntt Remain in Jail.
The Supreme Court extinguished the last
hope of the two imprisoned Anarchists by
affirming the decision of the Supreme
Court of Illinois and the Circuit Court of
the United States for the Northern Dis-'l
trict of Illinois in the cases of Samnel
Fielden and Michael Schwab versus the
Warden of Joliet Penitentiary. These two
men were sentenced to be hanged with
Spies and the other Anarchists for com
plicity in the famous Haymarket riot
in Chicago, but their sentences were
commuted to life imprisonment bd the Gov
ernor. In the application for writs of
habeas corpus which the court to-day denied
ounsel cfor the two men alleged that their
sentence was in violation of the Constitu
tion because the men were not in court in
person when the Illinois Supreme Court
rendered judgment sustaining the decision
of the trial court and re-sentenced them,
and that their right to say why ssntence
should not be passed upon them had been
denied. It was also contended that while
the Governor of Illinois had power to com
mute the sentence no warrant was -given by
law for the execution of that commutation.
Certain other minor points were also
brought in question.
Jnstioa Harlan's Opinion.
Justice -Harlan, who delivered the opin
ion of the court, first took up the ground
that the prisoners had been denied due
process because not present when the Il
linois Supreme Court passed sentence.
The opinion says the Supreme Court of
Illinois was not'one of original jurisdiction.
The whole argument in the trial of the
prisoners, it says, proceeds upon the as
sumption that theBupremo Court of Illinois;
pronounced the sentence of death,
and such is not the. fact That
sentence was pronounced by the court
ot Cost connty, and. the Supreme Court 'of
Illinois merely refixed the day in conform
ity with the criminal. coda of Illinois, The
court holds that no constitutional right of
the prisoners was denied by the Supreme
Court refusing to enter on its record the
fact that Schwab and Fielden were not
present when judgment was pronounced.
In reading the opinion the Justice-made no
mention of the point that the Governor
could commute the 'sentence but oould not
provide for its execution. General Butler,
the counsel for the Anarchists, was present
when the announcement was, made. The
decision was unanimous.

blood invigorator. It is pronounced by
everybody, doctors as well as the people, to
be the bestSpringmedlcine in existence, and

discovery of modern times.
Under the use of this wonderful remedy, the
weak, tired and nervous feeling disappears;
the nerves become strong andf steady; the ,
sleep natural and refreshing; the appetite
returns, good digestion and regular action
of the bowels are established, the kidneys
and liver are restored to healthy action, and
the vital energies, strength and vigor of the
system perfectly built up.
This greatest of all health restorers is
purely vegetable and harmless. Druggists
