ArRtiinonts for a new trial In the
famous ejectment suit of WJUInm Von
Storch ngalnst Currlngton 3. Von
Btorch are now beliif? mndo before
Jtulijcs Archbald anil Edwards, Judge
CJunstcr lcfralnlnR from participating
because lie was at one time an attor
ney for one of the parties nnd besides
i nn Important witness.
Tho case was tried at the June term
of common pleas and ran through four
weeks, seventeen entire days being ac
tually consumed in Its trial. Judge
ArcllhnUl .presided. Tho attorneys for
tho plaintiff, were Warren & Knapp,
John F. Scragg and Alex. T. I"arnhain,
of WJlkes-lJano. C. II. and T. C. Von
Storch also sat In with the counsel for
the plaintiff. l'or the defense the legal
array consisted uf. Jessup & Jcssup,
O'Htlen .t Kelly and T. C. Umstead.
of, .Wtlkes-Uurrc. Among tho promi
nent witnesses called were ex-Judge
tlurrick M. Harding and ex-Attorney
General Henry M. Palmer, of Wilkes
Hnrio, and as mentioned above, Judge
F. .AV. Gunster, of this city.
The suit Is over a jileco of land on
JfprUi ilaln avenue, which was for
merly the property of Ferdinand Von
Storch. The plaintiff. William Von
Storch, claims it tinder a deed from
Henry M. Fuller, trustee for tho es
tate. Tho defendant, who Is a son of
Ferdinand, claims with tho rest of tho
children that his uncle, William, simply
held the property In trust for the chil
dren of Jils brother Ferdinand. The
defendant, Currlngton, has been in
possession of the property about thirty
years, but this possession, the plalnlllf
alleges, has been permitted only
through his courtesy. As to who was
the apparent owner during all these
years was one of the questions which
called for a big mass of testimony.
Xelghbois, workmen who had made
repairs on tho property, parties who
had secured certain privileges, such as
the use of the barn and the like, were
brought In to show that ono party or
tho other, as tho case might be, was
tho acknowledged owner.
V13IIDICT POP. PLAINTIFF
The Jury found in favor of tho plain
tiff and now the defense Is asking for
a new trial on tho ground that the
weight of tho evidence was ngainst the
verdict and that the Judge who sits
as a chancellor should have directed a
verdict for tho defense or else taken
the case from the jury. Judge Jessup
began his argument at 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon and at the adjourn
ing hour, 4.C0 o'clock, he had not yet
finished. Major Warren will speak In
opposition to the motion.
Another case, which has attracted
no small amount of attention both In
the local and Supremo courts, was up
for argument yesterday. It is the suit
of Isaac 11. Felts against the Dela
waie, Lackawanna and Western Ilnll
joad company. The company. It Is al
leged, seized a piece of coal land In
Taylor, belonging to Mr. Felts. Ho
sued to recover nnd when the case was
called here asked for a change of venue,
claiming that a fair trial could not bo
secured In this county because ot the
Immense power wielded locally by the
corporation. Ills petition was denied
and lie took the matter to the Supreme
court.
The action of the lower court was
upheld and tho case was onco more
placed on the list. When It was next
called, the plaintiff lefuscd to go on,
taking another appeal to tho Supreme
court, which was also denied like tho
ilit. Ills refusal to go on with the
trial when It was called resulted of
com so in a non-suit. Now he Is en
deavoring to have the non-suit stricken
off. A. ltlcketts, i:. Meiritleld nnd
John F. Scragg appeared for the plain
tiff. Jessup & Jessup and M. I. Corbett
lepresented the company.
NEW TRIAL WANTED.
Tho city of Seranton appeared as a

It. II. Holgato for the plaintiff and
A. D. Dean for the defendant argued

Carpenter and othPts. Tho matter in
dispute is a. piece., of real estate In
Ablngton.
Court overruled the demurrer filed
by John I Canuvan In tho suit which
1. W. Stokes ha3;brought against him
nnd directed Jilm to make answer to
the plaintiff '.a; bill, within fifteen days.
Messrs. Caravan' nnd Stokes were the
owners and operators of tho Nay Aug

REBATE LIFE POLICIES.
Opinion by Prominent Attorneys to the
Effect That They Are Not Worth
Paper They Are Written On.
Concerning the Invalidity of "Re
bate" lite Insurance policies the follow
ing opinion has been rendered by At
torneys Foley and Powell, of 20G Rroad
way, New York.
An opinion Is asked as to tho effect on a
policy of life Insurance of making a re
bato of premium, in violation ot Chapter
1S2 of the Laws of lSO, of tho state of
New York, us amended by Chapter 401
of tho Luws ot IS'.K).
Tho statute referred to so far as mater
ial to our Inquiry, Is us follows: Sec. 1.
"Llfo lnsuraneo companies doing business
in this state Bhall not make any discrim
ination in favor ot Individuals of tho
samo class, and of tho sumo expectation
ot life, cither In tho amount of premium
charged or any lttura of picmlum, div
idends or other advantages, and no agent
of any such Insurance company shall
mako nny contract for insurnnce, or
agreement as to such contract of Insur
ance other than that which Is plainly ex
pressed In tho policy Issued, nor shall any
such company or agent pay or allow, or
offer to pay or allow, as an Inducement
to any person to Insure, any rebate of
premium, or any special favor or advan
tage whatever In the dividends to accrue
thereon, or any Inducements whatever
not speeliled In tho policy."
See. 3 enacts, "That any person violat
ing tho provisions of this' act shall bo
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor."
A mere inspection of this statute shows
that It prohibits, (a) tho malting ot nny
disci Iminatlon in favor of ono insurer
over another as to the uinount of pre
mium charged on the face of tho policy,
or us a :eturn of premiums or dividends,
or any other advantages.
(b), The making of any contract ot in
surance with nny person, "other than
that which Is plainly expressed in tho
policy issued."
(c) It forbids every company and agent
from paying or allowing, or offering to
pay or allow, any rebate of premium
or special Javor or advantage whatever
in tho dividends to accrue on the policy,
or any Inducements whatever not specl
lled In tho policy.
Under every system ot Jurisprudence
worthy of tho name, contracts of three
classes nro deelated to bo illegal and
void, viz.:
1. Contracts that arc against good mor
als, "Contra bonos mores."
'. Contracts that aro against public
policy.
3. Contracts that aro prohibited by
statute, or that aiu entered Into In viola
tion of tho terms of a statute.
Such contracts aro not simply voidable,
that is, such as ono of the parties may
elect to nbldo by and enforce or to con-t-lder
void and repudiate; but they aro
absolutely void, and cannot bo enforced
by either party, If tin other contests his
right to enforce them. Thus, If a rebato
policy Is void, the company could not
compel tho policy holder to pay tho
premium, nor could he or Ills legal repre
sentatives compel the company to pay
the policy. Tho rule being that a court
ot law will not lend Its aid to either par
ly to enforce such contracts, but will
leao them just whero it finds them.
Finally, this statute that wo aro consid
ering bus been before the Supremo court
of this state for adjudication as to Its
constitutionality In the caso of Tho Peo
ple vs. Pormosa, -10 St. Rep. SGI. In which
tho defendant, un agent for a llfo lnsiir
aneo company, was indicted, tried nnd
convicted ot a misdemeanor, for allowing
a rebato of premium on a policy written
by him.
In sustaining tho validity of tho stat
utes, tho couit, in tho cours-o of un able
nnd vigorous opinion, says: "No in
justice Is dono by this act to any insur
unci? company or agent thereof who de
sires to do a legitimate and proper busi
ness. It does prohibit them from making
unjust discriminations amongst Individ
uals of tho same class and of tho samo
expectation of llfo injured by them. It
seems to be a wholesome nnd proper act.
and not In violation of any provision of
tho constitution."
In view of tills decision, can thero bo
any doubt nc to what this samo court
will do It eer a civ, I action is brought
beforo it to enforce u "rebate" policy,
or any contiact arising out of such a
policy? It would be an anomaly la law
that a court should find a man cniin. nf
a crlmo and punish him as a cilmlnal for
making a ceitalu kind of contract, and
yet declaro tho'sumo contract lawful In
a civil action brought to enforco It.
Our conclusion, based upon elementary
principles of law nnd decided eases, nnd
upon tho nnturo nnd purposo of tho stat
ute Itself, is that a policy of llfo Insur
ance upon which a rebate of premium Is
made. promised or allowed, directly or
indirectly, or which does not state upon
its faco tho truo contract entered into
netween tho parties In respect to prem
iums, Is absolutely void, and that It Is
not enforceable In any court of Justice.
Since the nbove opinion was written
tho Court of Common Pleas of Toledo,
Ohio, has dcided In accordance there
with in the case of the Agents of a
leading life Insurance company vs.
Cialg. This suit was to enforco pay
ment of a noto of $275.00, originally
made by Craig in payment of tho first
premium on a life policy issued to
him. On the back of the noto was a
ciedlt of $75 00. Tho evidence showed
that no payment of that amount had
actually 'been made, but that the
credit represented a rebate of the prem
ium. Tho Court held In effect that the
credit on the noto was evidence of an
illegal act. therefore enforcement of
tlio payment of th'o noto was denied
the plalntltf; furthermore, that the is
stianco of tho lnsuranco contiact being
based on nn illegal transaction, the
policy was avoided thereby, and no
claim under the policy could be held
against the Company.
Policies Issued by a New York Life
Insurance company are subject to the
laws of the state of New York. Tho
luws of Pennsylvania relating to re
bate on llfo Insurnnco prornlums are
practlcully the samo as tho laws of
the state, of New York.

TAX EXONERATIONS MAY CEASE
Iitcnoncy of tho City 1'nthcrB Has
llccn Imposed Upon by Some Coun
cilman and Their Friends Until n
Regular Stream of Petitions for
Pxoncrntlons fr0m Tnx on Ileal
Kstnto is Pouring ln--Clty Solicitor
nnd Tax 09 Committee Looking for
n Remedy nt Lair.
Never In tho history of the city have
so many petitions been sent to coun
cils nsklng for exonerations from tax
on real estate. Tho volume of tho peti
tions has been so great and, with tho
amount of tax represented, has been
Increasing so rapidly as to recently
suggest to common council tho wisdom
of putting a stop, if possible, to a bad
practice and a costly precedent. In
consequence the matter was referred
to the taxes committee and tho com
mittee in turn asks the city solicitor
for the following opinions:
First: Whether or not it is legal to
exoncrato to any extent tho assessment
or tax on leal estate?
Second: Whether. In case your opinion
on tho first point is In the negative, tho
assessments or exonerations illegally
granted becomo Hens against such prop
erties? It has been the practice of councils
to grant exonerations almost Indis
criminately. Tlio only process neces
sary is to go before the mayor's sec
retary, make affidavit to a petition for
exoneration and present tho same to
councils through ono of the council
men of the ward In which the property
is situated. The evil of the practice
lies In the fact that some councllmon
encourage It as a medium for secur
ing votes.
QUESTIONS ASKED.
The ease with which an exoneration
may be obtained Is indicated In the
following formal questions contained
In the petition; frequently an answer
to question Nos. 3, 7 or 11 Is sufficient
to procure tho exoneration:
1. Q. Do you ask for exoneration be
cause of erroneous assessment?
2. Q. If so what is tho error?
3. Q. Do you ask exoneration because
of physical disability?
4. Q. If so what Is the natuit and
cause?
fi. Q. What family have you?
6. 0. What aro their ages and o:cu
patlons? 7. (J. Havo you any income nnd from
xx hat?
S. Q. Do you ask for exoneration be
cause of being a xvldow?
!. Q. 11 so xvhat family have you?
10. tj. What aro their ages and occu
pations? 11. Q. Hnvo you any Income and
xvhat?
12. Q. Do you ask for exoneration for
any other reason than any of tho abovo?
13. Q. If so what are tho grounds of
your lequest?
From three to ten petitions are con
sidered at each meeting of councils.
Tho tax amounts to from $1 to $15 and
the exoneration asked from r,0 to 100
per cent.
AMOUNT OF EXONERATIONS.
A visit to the files In the city clerk's
office xvns made yesterday by a Tri
bune reporter for the purpose of ex
amining the petitions for exonerations
granted during tlio present year. Fif
teen petitions xvcie (selected haphazard
from the files. They proved to be
dated during tho latter part of May
and June. The tax and the percentage
of exonerations asked and granted In
each case Is indicated in the following,
each Item representing a petition as It
xvas lifted in Its regular order from the
files:
$l.r.7

Possibly some of the councllmon
xvould not have decided to take a stand
against the city acting as a charity
bureau but for tho disposition of cer
tain councilman to encourage their
friends to present the petitions and the
growth of the evil. For every petition
at the beginning of tho year, two are
now being received, nnd as tho amount
involved is Increasing, tho reasons
given for asking exonerations are be
coming more trivial.
City Solicitor McGinley yesterday
had not informed himself sufficiently
to stato xhat his reply to the taxes
committee xvould be. Well-informed
councllmon say the present method of
exoneration is illegal and that exoner
ations so nllowed may bo entered as
liens against tho properties Involved.
