Important Law Points Submitted by Attorney Jobn T. Lenahan at the Sessions Yesterday. Wilkes-Barre, May 7. In tho Rocka fellow case today John T. Lenahan, at torney for the defendant, offered sev eral law points, the most Important being: If the Jury find that with the knowl edge of the representatives of tho late co-partners, nnd with' their permission Hocknfellow acted In receiving deposits und conducting the banking business by way of settling up the affairs of the dissolved firm, he Is to be taken as a liquidating- partner; and If as such he actually received this money from de positors for the purpose of applying It to the payment of the obligations of the old or dissolved firm, the assets of the deceased partners in the hands of their representatives would be applicable to the payment of the liabilities Incurred by the receipt of the depositors. That if E. P. Darling left his capital In the banking firm after Blake's death and participated In the profits of the business as profits then his estate was liable for nil the debts of the firm ex isting at his death on 19th October, ISS'J, and his executor had no right to with draw the capital of E. P. Darling so long as such debts remained unpaid. As a matter of law, death dissolves a partnership unless otherwise agreed upon between the partners, but if lega tees leave the capital of their testator In the firm and share the profits of the business as profits then such legatees are liable as partners for all the liabili ties of the firm and in this case if the Jury believe that Thomas Darling, Mary Darling and Emily C. Darling, legatees of E. P. Darling, deceased, were partners of the firm of F. V. Rocknfellow & Co. on February 7, 1&33, then the defendant cannot be convicted as the commonwealth has not shown that they were all insolvent at tho time the bank closed Its doors, If the jury believe that F. V. Rocka fellow hell avert and had reasonable ground for his belief that Thomas Dar ling, Mary Darling and Emily C. Dar ling were paitners with him and that he believed they were solvent then the defendant cannot be convicted whether tl'Vy actually were partners or not. That thedefendant cannot be convict ed without the jury be satisfied beyond n reasonable doubt that the defendant had knowledge of the Insolvency; that all the parties connected with the bank, the partners, were, at the time, Insolvent. MAD D0Q WAS BRAINED. George Brain Slaughters a Habid Cur With 11 Stone. Speclnl to the Scranton Tribune. Forest City. May 7.

The dog had been running loose, all day, and Is known to have bltjen sev eral other dogs, all of which have been killed excepting one. The authorities will see that this one Is properly dis posed of today. TIIK NKGHO IN Al'UICA. IIevIs Ncry Much Liko tho Negro In tho Southern States. Poultney Ulgelow In Harper's. Whoever glances at successive mans of Africa must be struck by the rapid ity with which names of territories have been changed within the last 300 years. It Is, however, what one might reasonably expect from negroes Incap able of self-control, living only for the gratification of momentary needs and leaving behind them absolutely no rec ord of any aclhevement calculated to advance the cause of civilization. When we hear by our firesides of negro wars we are apt to receive statements very much exaggerated and certainly calculated to make us feel that the negro can be a most daring und dan gerous enemy. No doubt he Is such for a short time and under extraordin ary circumstances, but taken as a race there Is no moro gentle servant and companion than a properly treated negro. It has been my fortuno to see some thing of him In the West Indies, In South America and in every state of tho United States. Comparing that type of negro with the black man of 'South Africa as he appears between the Zambesi river and the Cape of Good Hope, I confess that I Bee very little difference. There are highly bred negroes In America, as well as Jow bred ones, and as slaves we know that ithelr prlco varied enormously on this account alone; but I am confident that If a given number of negroes were picked up haphazard from the differ ent portions of Africa, and then brought to Virginia or , Louisiana dressed after the manner of American negroes, they would nttract no moro attention on the streets of New Or leans or Richmond than they do now along tho Zambesi or tho Caledon, Tlir, DiAUY BUSINESS. Pays Only Seven Per Cent, on the In vestment, So tho runners Wutit h Trust. From tho Now York Sun. "If, a's they persistently declare, tho dairy farmers of this country are los ing money every year In tho milk busi ness, owing to the way tho nre ground down In prices, a business of gigantic proportions Is going to pieces," said a milk dealer. "They have the neat sum of $3,000,000,000 Invested In farms, stock, etc. About 00,000,000 acres of this fair land of ours are given up to the pas turing of their 15,000,000 cows, and as many more acres are necessary to sup ply those cows with hay and fodder. To do the work about the dairy farms requires the services of 760,000 men and moro than 1,000,000 horses. Tho dairy farm stock, bovine nnd equine, eat 30, 000,000 tons of hay, 30,000,000 bushels of corn, 90,000,000 bushels of corn meal, 83,000,000 bushels of other meals, and 20,000,000 bushels of bran a year, to say nothing of the 275,000,000 bushels of oats that horses alone eat. The prov ender for nil that live stock costs $100,-' 000,000 a year, and the 750,000 laborers on the farms receive $175,000,000 a year for their work. Tho machinery and Implements used In tho dairy business, Just as they stand, new and second hand, represent an investment of $200, 000,000. 'Now. of course, tho farmers ought to know whether they are losing money or not In the dairy business. They say they arc. Statistics say that the aver age cow will yield 450 gallons of milk n year. If that is so, the cows of this country are giving down 6,750,000,000 gallons every twelve months. Of course, a good share of tills goes Into butter and cheese, but the receipts from that are calculated to be about the same per gallon of milk used as If It had been sold as milk. I guess 12 cents a gallon is a fair estimate of the price the farmer receives for that milk, which will figure up' a return to them of $S 10,000,000 a year. Help and feed not counting the sweet-scented brew cry grains which the honest fanner gives his stock by way of change cost $575,000,000 a year. Throw In .110, 000,000 more, say, to cover the cost of brewers' grains and Incidentals, and the dairy farmers spend $"iS5,000,000 a j'car to keep their farms running nnd get their produce to market. Accord ing to the figures this leaves a trifle of S?23,000,000 to their credit for the year s business. This isn't much, of course, It is only a little more than 7 per cent, on tho Investment, but even at that It doesn't look as If the dairy business was going to pieces very fast, or that the fanners were knocking very hard at the poorhouse door for admittance. "By tho way, Isn't It tho farmers who are doing so much calamity shout ing against trusts? Seems to me It Is, but then how Is It that they are busy Just now getting up a trust of their own? The dairy farmers, I mean es pecially tho milk farmers who supply New York with milk. They are at It. They are holding meetings all through the dairy regions, nnd their trust is to bo known us the Five States' Milk Pro ducers' association, and the avowed purpose of It Is to control all the milk that Is shipped, with a view to enforc ing higher prices." The five states are New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Those terrible bugaboos to the down-trodden farmer, the sugar trust and the oil trust, reduced the prices of their pro ducts 50 or 100 per cent., nnd here the farmers themselves are combining to increase the price of theirs.
