Supreme Court— Chief Justice "Woodward
and Justices Thi inson, String, Read and Agn w
The following judgments were entered this mor
ning:
In the matter of the_ Fairmonnt Passenger Rail
way Co., (Race and "Vine). The proceeding in this
cate is under the act of 17th July, 1862, entitled
“An Aft for the relief of the Stockbo.ders and
Creditors of the Fairmount Passenger Rail way Co. ’ ’
The purpose of this Jaw may be fair, a d condu
cive to a good end in quieting litigation, but the
means proposed by it certainly are beyond the
legislative powers.
Att*r undertaking to legalize a large amount of
stock allegedio befrauriulently issued and of debts
asserted to be wrongfully contracted by the Direc
tors; th* act uirects a proceed.ng to be commenced
by petition In the Supreme Court, at the suit of the
Company to bring in all persons claiming to be
stOv.khold»-rs. and creditors of too Company, and
subjects their claims to theexaminatiou ano deci
sions of a master who is.to proceed summarily and
decide finally upon the rights ofati; reserving
only a hearing in this Court upon the excep ions,
and the power to remaud the case for farther Droof,
with directions to tbe master jo make a Anar
deerte which shall be binding on ail
the creditors, stockholders and the Company.
* * * bold this special legislation to be
outside of the authority of the Constitution, and an
infringement of common right; we also hold that
parties thus forced into the new forum, without
their consent, by the compulsory requirement of
the notice to appear before the master, to submit to
his decision, under the suspension of their legal
remedies, and coming th ther protesting against
his jurisdiction, are not estopped from now asking
us to quash this proceeding.
It is therefore now ordered and decreed that the
petition in this case and all. subsequent proceed
ing thereupon be dismissed as unlawful and
without right; and that the costs thereof be paid
by the Fairmount Passenger Railway Company,

THE BURNING OF THE CHURCH BUILDING
AT ELMIRA.
[From the Elmira Press of Saturday. ]
One of the most terrible calamities which has
befallen onr city in many years occurred about
seven o’clock last evening. The beautiful struc
ture of the First Preshy terian Church, where th»
great Sanitary Fair was being held, is now amass
of smouldering ruins—nothing but its bare walls
remain to tell the tale of the sad disaster.
As near as we can learn, the particulars are as
follows: Ayounglad was amusing himself in the
gallery with a lighted stick or piece of paper,
nourishing it around, to the amusement of a unru
lier of children, when he accidentally came in con
tact with some evergreens which hung suspended
from the wall, and in a moment the whole gallery
was in llames, presenting a most 1 rightful, ap
pearance. The alarm was instautlv given, but
alas! 100 late—the fiery element had gained too
rapidly lor human aid to subdue—its fata was
scaled.
H ad the fire occurred an honr later we should
undoubtedly have been called upon to chronicle a
second Santiago disaster, the particulars of which
we. remember with horror. Fortunately the num
ber present was very small, mostly the Commit
tee, as it was not the hour for visitors—at least the
crowd hid not. begun to make its appearance.
The scenes at the church are beyond description.
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and friends
were wild with apprehensions for the late of some
loved one.
The old Session Room in the rear of the church
also became a prey to the devouring ele'ments, and
was soon a heap of ashes. The Piano Manu
factory of Eliason, Greener & Co., was slightly
damaged by fire.
M. M. Converse, an old resident of this place, is
the most Eerionsly injnred. His faco and hands
were so badly burned that the skin is almost
entirely destroyed. Whether his situation is
considered dangerous or not we were unable to
learn.
H. C. Covell, of the firm of Cook & Covell—wh
has labored unremittingly during the week, assist
ing m the financial management of the Fair—was
quite badly injured. Soon after the alarm of fire
was given, he was actively engaged In the gallery
at the soath end of the Church tearing down the
scaffolding and other inflammable’materials in
order to prevent the spread of the flames, until the

I am happy to add my testimony to the grea
value ot the “London Hair Color Restorer,*
three bottles of which restored my Hair, which
was very gray, to its original dark color, and the
hue appears to be permanent. I am satisfied that
the preparation is nothing like a dye, but operates
upon the secretions. It is also a beautiful Hair
dressing. I jmrchased the first bottle from Jiu\
