After Court Refused a Change of Venue
tie Left the Court Room.
JEXXIXGS CASE NOX-SLITED
No One Present to Try Mr. Jennings' Sen
sational Consplraoy Caso-.Mr. Smith
Soys I to Will Take an Appeal
to the Supremo Court.
Attorney Cornelius Smith and his
client,, John O.' Jennings, of Minooka,
were central tipures In another court
episode .yesterday. The November term
of common pleus court opened yester
day morning with three Judges on the
bench. Judge H. M. Edwards in the
main court rqom. Judge Gunster in No.
3 court, and Judtre McPherson, of Har
rlaburg, judge of the Dauphin county
courts. In No. 2 court room.
The first case on the triul list was the
trespass suit of John O. Jennings
nirnlnst tho Lehltrh Valley Railroad
company, Judge R. W. Archbuld, Judge
K. -N. willaru, Major Everet Warren,
Attorney 1. H. Burns. Attorney Lemu
el Aniermnn. Prothonotary Clarence K.
Pryor, Deputy Prothonotary Myron
Kasson and Detective Thomas E.
Reynolds.' asking for damages in the
modest sum of SlOO.OrtO.
The case resulted disastrously for
Smith and Jennings. They were rout
ed. The court granted a nonsuit and
the next steo In the matter will be
when Mr. Smith goes before the Su
preme court. He wns seen by a Trib
une reporter yesterday afternoon and
he said that he would go to a higher
court right away.
This colossal suit was based upon
the ground that the defendants con
spired to defeat the ends of Justice and
injure John O. Jennings in his action
against the Lehigh Valley company.
When the cane was called for trial yes
terday morning Judges Edwards and
Gunster were upon the bench in the
main court. Attorneys J. Alton Davis.
C. Oomegys, Joseph O'Brien and John
P. Kelley appeared for the defend
ants. Attorney Smith was alone In the
interest of the plaintiff.
Jennings Had n Rack Sent.
Judge Archbald, Attorneys Burns
W'arran and Amerman and Myron
Kasson were all of the defend
ants who were present. They sat be
side their attorneys. Mr. Jennings was
In the rear of the court room. When
the time was at hand for a Jury to be
drawn Mr. Smith advanoed and asked
for a continuance. This was refused
and he applied for a change of venue.
Attorney Davis opposed the change of
venue on the ground that the petition
for It came too late, that the plaintiffs'
application should have been made last
week.
Mr. Smith argued that no notice had
been served upon him that the case had
been set down for trial at the head or
the list, and, therefore, he had not suffi
cient time to lay grounds for a change
of venue. The judges left the bench
after listening to some argument and
consulted for a few minutes. Upon
re-appearlng, Judge Edwards said that
they would continue the case for 'two
weeks to give Mr. Smith and his client
time to produce evidence to support
his reasons for a change of venue.
Before the order was signed Attorney
Davis Fald that the only evidence nec
essary for a change of venue was that
of the petitioner, and as Mr. Jennings
was in court ho ought to be brought
forward forthwith to give the reasons
why ho could not get a fair trial In
Lackawnnna county. Mr. Smith then
presented a petition asking the court to
grant him a reasonable time to sub
poena his witnesses and produce them
in court.
.Mr. Smith Had Delayed.
Judge Gunster refused this motion
and told Smith to bring them forward
without any further delay. Judge Ed
wards said that the case was advanced
upon the list because it was of such a
nature as to require speedy action. Mr.
Smith evidently knew that It was on
the list and that Is the reason why the
court refused the continuance. The
plaintiff allowed thirty-five days to
elapse since this case was on the list
without presenting his motion for a
change in venue.
Mr. Smith said It was Impossible for
him to produce witnesses for his appeal
for a change of venue and that he
would be glad to go to trial tomorrow If
he could. In answer to this statement
Mnlnr Warren said:
"Your Honor, I desire to say that the
application Is based on the fourth para
graph In the act relating to change of
venue which provides that 'If It shall
appear by the oath of the plaintiff that
local prejudice exists and that a fair
trial cannot be had,' the change of
venue shall be made. John O.Jennings,
the plaintiff, sits right thre. This case
Involves the Integrity of the officials of
this county, ar.d of the members of this
bar, and It is a reiteration of the most
scandalous accusations against the liv
ing and the dead, and I submit If this
party can show any local prejudice let
him come here and show It now. Let
us have some action by the court thnt
will bring an end to this business. Wo
ask your Honor In the name of Justice
and out of respect to this court and to
the members of the bar, to have this
case heard at once. If his accusations
are true give him a change of venue. If
they are not true let the case be tried
now, and let us have an end to these
accusations. If they are true these
gentlemen and myself ought to be In
states prison, and If they are not true,
Mr. Smith ought to be promptly dis
barred." Jonnings on the stand.
Mr. Jennings was called to the stand
In the afternoon and questioned by At
torney Smith. Jennings said he remem
bered well the second trial of his case
against the Lehigh Valley railroad and
was of the opinion that he could not get
justice. His testimony was brief. Mr.
Smith again asked for more time and
was answered by Judge Edwards as
follows:
"This case was advanced by us upon
the trial list so that it should be speed
ily disposed of. the official position of
some of the defendants and their con
nection with our courts being such thnt
In our Judgment In the Interests of the
administration of justice a speedy dis
position of the case was desirable.
When the case was called for trial
plaintiff's attorney moved for a con
tinuance on the ground that he had no
notice that the case was specially or
dered on the trial list. The trial list
having been made ur thirty-five days
before the day of trial, this motion was
refused. The plaintiff then filed his
petition asking; for a change of venue.
A rule was granted returnable forth
with to show cause why a change of
venue should not be made.
"We think this motion should have
been made before the case was called
for trial, but we concluded to hear evi
dence In oupport of the petition and
rule. The main ground of the petition
Is that some of the defendants are
county officials, and' that by reason
thereof such a local prejudice exists as
will prevent a fair trial of the -plaintiff's
case. The evidence establishes
the official character of 'two of the
defendants but It is utterly Insufficient
to sustain the allegation of local preju
dice. Can Be Fairly and Impartially Tried Hero.
"We are satisfied that the case can be
fairly and impartially tried before a
Jury of this county. We therefore dis
charge the rule and refuse the motion
for a change of venue and unless other
cause be shown for the continuance of
the case we direct the trial to proceed
before Judge McPherson, of the court
of common pleas, of Dauphin county."
; Mr. Smith handed the following paper
UP to the court, then went to the clothea
rack, put on his overcoat and silk hat.
turned his back to the court and strode
out. ' -
, "Now, Nov. 11, 1895, the plaintiff pre
sented to the court a petlton praying
for a change of venue. The court grant
ed a rule to show cause why the venue
should not be changed returnable Nov.
24, 1895. Afterwards, on request of de
fendant's counsel, the court made the
rule returnable forthwith, and refused
the plaintiff any time to subpoena or
produce his witnesses to prove the facts
alleged in his petition for removal.
Same day the court refused to grant
a change of venue In tne case. There
fore the plaintiff declines to try the
case before he is allowed a reasonable
time to produce Ills witnesses as to the
facts alleged in the said petition either
by way of depositons or in open court."
A jury was drawn lj the regular woy
and as the plaintiff was not present to
plead his case, the defendants applied
for a non-suit and it was granted by
the court.
None of the defendants would state
whether or not they would take any
action with reference to disbarring Mr.
Smith. Judge Archbald said positively
that he had no intention of acting in
the matter.
In the Other Court Rooms.
Only cases of lesser importance were
taken up in court rooms No. 2 and 3
yesterday, and In the main court after
the Jennings' case was disposed of
Judge Edwards heard the suit for
wages of Domlnli'k Hastings against
Michael Burke. The Jury went out at
adjournment to llnd a verdict. Thf
case of John Knittle against Joseph
Kreta was called, the '.iluintlir did not
appear and a verdict for the defendant
wus taken.
In No. 2 court, before Judge Mc
Pherson, of Harrlsburg, the suit of A. S.
Spencer against Joseph Pendle and
James Mora, was on all day. It Is for
a judgment note of $100. The action
of John Flanaghan against Elizabeth
Maynard was non-suited. W. B. Stans
bury vs. Singer Manufacturing com
pany, Lizzie Jane Ruse vs. William
T. James and Annie T. James, were
settled.
OBJECTIONS SUSTAINED.
Opinion of Judge Archbald in Regard to
South Side Sewer Ascsttments.
Judge Archbald yesterday sustained
the objections of the Lackawanna Iron
and Coal company to the assessment of
Viewers E. J. McNally, Robert Haas
and August Schimpff. The opinion is
a very brief and reads as follows:
"It Is conceded by the city solicitor
that the assessments to which the pres
ent exceptions are directed are laid
upon property to which no branch sow
ers run and for which none are at
present provided by thenrdlnancp under
which those proceedings arc had. This
brings the case clearly within the de
cision in the Park Avenue sewers, lb9
Pa., 443. The properties are assessed
for that of which they have no benefit
and of which they may never have any.
This Is entirely contrary to the prin
ciple upon which local assessments for
benefits conferred are alone sustain
able. The exceptions of the Lacka
wanna, Iron and Coal company are sus
tained and the assessments set aside."
In conjunction with the opinion the
following order was handed down:
Order of the Court.
"The exceptions so far as they relate
to assessments laid upon pro-ierty not
abutting upon the line of the proposed
sower or Its branches are sustained
and the said assessments are set
aside."
It was very generally supposed that
the decision of the court. If It should be
In favor of the exceptions, would In
validate the assessment entirely and
retard the progress of the sewer. This
Is an erroneous Impression. The opin
ion of Judge Archbald only dismisses
the assessments against the Lacka
wanna Iron and Coal company that
have been levied on farm lands and
other, property of the company not
abutting on the main or lateral
branches of the proposed sewer.
The court holds that the company
cannot be assessed for a sewer that will
not when constructed benefit any of the
company's property which Is included
In the tract assessed and to which ex
ceptions are taken.
Remaindcrof Report Stands.
The report of the viewers will stand
except that part of it excepted to by the
company. A map was filed with the
court showing the land assessed which
does not abut on any of the branches
of the propscd sewer. The company
will have to pay its share for any land
abutting on the sewer, Just the same as
the other property owners of the dis
trict. The tension of the sewer advocates
may now be relaxed, who feared that a
decision favorable to the exceptants
meant an utter Invalidation of the
progress made to date on the proposed
sewer In the Seventeenth district.

STRANGE PHENOMENON.
The Profiles of Gladstone and Delia Fox
Seen on tho Moon.
A Miss Klmbark, residing at Bear
Lake, Wis., has recntly discovered a
strange phenomenon on the moon's or
bit, being none other than the reflection
In profile of the Right Hon. w. E. Glad
atone and pretty little Delia Fox, who
appears at the Frothlngham on Friday.
This discovery has created quite a fu
ror of excitement among the moon gaz
ers of the West, as well as among sci
entific savants who are now gazing
nightly at fair Luna to substantiate
Miss Klmbark's discovery.
A number of telescopic cameras have
been brought Into requisition to photo
graph this strange phenomenon, and
It la claimed with so much success that
the facek above mentioned may be rec
ognised from the photographs taken.

APPEAL WAS DISMISSED
Opinion Handed Down in the famous
Nichols' Kill Contest.
AITELLAXT HAD NO EVIDENCE
James Nichols Was I'nablo to Prove. That
Ills Mother Mado a Will. Althoosh
II Had Several Oppor
tunities to Do So.
From the orphans' court of this coun
ty an opinion by Judge Archbald in the
fumous Nichols" will contest was yes
terday handed down, dismissing the ap
peal of James Nichols, the appellant,
with an order that he pay the costs of
the proceedings.
In Mureh, 1SSG. the decedent, Mrs.
Sarah Nichols, died, and on May 21. 1M2,
seven years afterward, the appellant,
James Nichols, her son, presented his
petition to the register of wills, alleging
that she died testate, and that her will
was In possession of Asa A. Nichols,
another Bon, and Flora A. Nichols, his
wife. Upon this a citation issued re
turnable June 6, following, 10 which an
answer was duly made by the parties
cited, denying that they had posses
sion of any such will and affirming
that they never suw or heard of any.
The hearing on the citation was con
tinued by the register to June 13, and
the petitioner not appearing, the pro
ceedings were dismissed.
On June 28 on a plea of surprise and
presentation of a nmv petition .ne reg
ister allowed a rehearing and issued
a second citation, returnable July 2ri.
A new party was brought Into these
second proceedings, Mary Davis, a
daughter of the deceased; but the cita
tion was not served In time and an
alias had to Issue to Aug. 1 following.
In ii bio to Furnish Proof.
This came to a final hearing on Sept.
9. 1X92. when counsel for the petitioner
stated they had no further evidence,
and that they were unable to prove that
the alleged will of Mrs. Nichols was In
possession of the parties cited, where
upon the proceedings were again dis
missed at the cost of the petitioner.
Nothing further was done until May
17, 1895, when the same party again pre
sented his petition to the register, 'al
leging upon newly discovered evidence
that there was a will, and that It was In
the possession of the said Mary Davis,
and praying for a rehearing. The reg
ister entertnlned the application so far
as to award a citation to Mary Davis
and Asa A. Nichols, to appear on June
8 following and show cause why the will
should not be produced and proved.
But after considering the testimony
produced in support of the petition, the
register decided there was not enough
to warrant a rehearing and, therefore,
dismissed the petition with costs. It
waB upon this record that the appeal
was taken. The opinion says:
"At the return of the rule entered, ac
cording to our practice on the respond
ents to show cause why the appeal
should not be entertained, It was urged
upon us that the appellant Is conclud
ed by the decision of the register made
In September, 1892, which the last pro
ceedings have Ineffectually sought to
open, and that the appeal ought there
fore to be dismissed.
.Must Bo Made Within Three Years.
"While an appeal to the orphans'
court is allowed by the statute from all
the judicial acts and decisions of the
register, yet it is expressly provided
that all such appeals must be made
within three years. It Is very clear
therefore that It Is now too late to ask
to review the decision dismissing the
appellant's petition, which was made
Sept. 9, 1892, the present appeal not
having been lodged In this court until
8ept. 23, 1895.
"Is the appeal any more effective
because of the Intervening proceedings
which have been taken? We think not.
If the present register, after hearing
the appellant, had reversed the decis
ion of his predecessor, assuming he had
the right to do so, and had held that
the possession by the respondents of a
will of the decedent had been sufficient
ly established, this would have been a
new judgment, from which the parties
aggrieved could have taken their ap
peal to this court. But that was not
what was done. The register merely
reopened the case far enough to see
whether there was any occasion for
reconsidering the former ruling of the
office, and not being satisfied that there
was, refused to do so.
It Is a Matter of Gtpcj.
"A hearing in such a case is a matter
of grace and not of right, and rests In
the sound discretion of the register.
Assuming that the case Is for the time
reopened by the fact that the register
entertained the petition and cites the
parties to appear and answer It, still
when the proceedings are dismissed
without other action than to confirm
the former decision, what was thus
transparently opened Is thereupon re
closed, leaving the original order to
stand unaffected by what has been
done. Unless this be the case there Is
no finality to proceedings of this char
acter. The mere presentation of a pe
tition to the register, which he refuses
to hear, will be able to put new life
Into them any time, no matter how dis
tant from the date of the original de
cision, and a party can keep them re
vived In this way for a generation.
"This can not be the law. In every
legal proceeding the parties litigant
are bound to produce all the evidence
which they have upon the subject, and
whether they do or do not Is concluded
from the result. There may be an In
herent right in every court to open the

case and allow a rehearing upon new
evidence, which the party could not,
with reasonable diligence, have pro
cured before.' But If so. It is a right to
be exercised according to a sound dis
cretion, and Is nut reviewable except
for abuse.
' Was Cited to Appear.
"In the present instance the appel
lant cited the respondents to appear
and was heard upon the matters charg
ed In his petition, the register deciding
and he. himself, conceding that they
were not sustained. Later he again
goes before the register alleging after
discovered evidence. That officer, after
hearing it. decides that there is no oc
casion for re-opening the former rul
ing. As to the original decision tho
appeal Is barred by the lapse of time,
as to the last one it brings un nothing
which we can review. The appeal Is
dismissed with costs."
WOULD KISS THE CAPTAIN
Girl Who Had an Embarrssing Way of
Showing II r Appreciation.
Everyone who knows Captain W. II.
Burke', of the health department, knows
that his two chief characteristics are
gallantry and mudesty. The gallant
and modest captain wus busy at his
desk yesterday when a deaf and dumb
girl named Kthel Eckert came in to
complain to Mrs. Duggan. agent of the
Associated Charities, that she had been
abused and robbed at her boarding
house, 3:'9 Penn avenue. At the request
of Mrs. Duggan, Captain Burke agreed
to accompany the girl to her liourdlng
house and see thnt matters were set
right. This he did.
Returning to the office the girl ac
companied him and with pencil and pa
per expressed her gratltudf to Mrs.
Duggan. But pencil and paper were
not fit instruments to her mind, to ex
press her appreciation of the captain's
services. Before the captain had time
to enter a protest the grateful girl had
her arms around his neck and was
about to salute him when the captain
tore himself away and rushed from tne
rcom amid the uproarious laughter of
the dozen or so spectators.
The deaf and dumb girl did not say a
word, but she looked as If sue was do
ing some thinking.
