R0CKAFELL0W CASE.
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.

Speclnl to the Scranton Tribune.
Forest City. May 7. A dog that was
thought to be suffering from hydro
phobia was killed on South Main street

Ha placed the child behind him,
picked up a stone and waited until It
was within a few feet of him, when
he threw the missile with all hi
strength, striking the brute on the
head and killing it instantly.
The dog had been running loose, all
day, and Is known to have bltjen sev

killed excepting one. The authorities
will see that this one Is properly dis

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,

"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. Where is
Lexow?"

cured her." James T. Mann, Hubbards
