Mr. Robert Ward, of Philadelphia, spent n faw days at the home of his father, Mr. John G. "Ward, the past week, THREE SHORT OPINIONS. Tbcy were Handed Down by Judge Arch bald YeMcrday-Matlers That were Passed Upon in Them. Judge Archbald handed down three brief but Interesting opinions yester day morning. In the certiorari case of William Hodby against Salvatoro Magnotte and Antonio Pasco ho re versed the judgment of the alderman as to Magnotte and nffirmed It ns to Pasco. Pasco Is a 17-ycar-old boy em ployed by Magnotte as a driver. On January 8, 1897, Pasco ran over and damnged a bicycle belonging to Hod by. Alderman Howe gave judgment against tho mnstor and the employe for tho amount of the claim $74.55. An appeal wns taken and in passing upon It Judge Archbald says: Tho liability of the master to answer for tho ncgllgenco of his employe Is not ns a rule direct but consequential. It Is true, If tho master was present at tho tlmo and directed tho trespass to bo committed, or subsequently assented to what had been done, or If it was the natural and probable result of orders given by him, carried out by tlio servant without negligence on his own part trespass wilt lie. 1 Chltty. Pleading 180.) But this Is highly exceptional and any such unusual features, If they exist, being essential to muko out u causo of nctlon, must bo set forth. The record must Jus tify Itself and show that, of which tho al derman has Jurisdiction. As it stands here wo have apparently nothing more than tho ordinary ense of a trespass by an employe for which tho master would bo only Indirectly lia ble, und wo nro not called upon to help out the record by undisclosed possibili ties that It was otherwise. With the highest regard for the opinions ot tho learned Judgo who decided tho caso of Carlo vs. White, Haven Ins. CO. (4 Dlst. reports, 229) so fnr ns It conflicts with what Is thus said, we cannot follow It. Tho Judgment as to Salvatorl Magnot ta Is reversed; as to Antonio Pasco It Is affirmed. George F. Barber obtulned a judg ment in Alderman Wright's court against Elizabeth Beach. She wnnted to appeal and had the nlderman muko a transcript. She took tho transcript and gave ball for tho costs and was told by the nlderman that she had nothing more to do. The alderman meant that she had nothing more to do as far as bis court was concerned. She misunderstood him and neglected to file tho transcript. When It was too lata she discovered her error and applied to court for permission to file the tran script nunc pro tunc. Judge Archbald refuses the petition. She misunderstood and misapplied the alderman's words, tho judge says, and he cannot absolve hor from her error. "It Is difficult to Impress the common mind with the maxim that Ignorance; of tho law excuses no one and njtalnst tho many attempts to escape this re sponsibility the courts are compelled to resolutely set thenn elves," Is one of the passages of the opinion. In pffslnir upon the certiorari case of Isnne Staples against Julius Fried man, Ills Honor deals In a little sar casm at the expense of Justice of tho Peace John F. Atkinson and Constable Mlchaol Moran, of Carbondale, Staples Is a wholesaler ot Stillwater. Minn. Friedman Is In business In For est City. On motion ot H. O. Watrous, attorney for the defendant, 'Squlro At kinson quashed a short summons tak en by Staples on the ground that he was a non-resident und had given no security for costs. Afterwards tho 'squire changed his mind and gave Judgment for the plaintiff. Tho transcript of the proceedings de scribing how the change of mind cc cutred reads thus: "M. Moran, the constable who servsd tho summons, swoin, and claims for plaintiff that the debt Is Justly due and owing and that no part of It has besn paid, whereupon Judgment Is publicly enteted for plain tiff und ns against defendant for $270. 10 and costs of case. John F, Atkin son, Justice of tho peace." As to what moved the Justice of the peace to change his mind the Judge is ut a loss to say but ho supposes It was "the persuasive oath of Consta ble Moran." "It would have been bet ter." the Judge goes on to ray. "If he nnd adhered to his original mind, for now 1 am compelled to reverso him." WORK OF TUB VOLUNTEERS.

Cuntaln ITonnea Is assisted by his wife who Is a very eurnesi worner. During that period 210 meetings were held In the Armory goods and prices that talk for at 513 Lnckawanna avenue which were attended by over 2,000 persons; 1C7 open air meetings were conducted ns well as meetings at the county Jail every Thursduy. Altogether there weie 25 conversions. From September 13 until January 9 $115.25 were received by donations and $153 from collections, making the total Income $2G8.25. The disbursements wore as follows: Salary to the cap tain and wife for the four months $42.68; rents of armory and apartments of tho captain, $128; light, $S.2I); fuel for captain's apartments, $5.25; (W. T. Smith furnishes coal for tho armory) printing, $1.50; postage, $1.80; sundries, $51.14; car fare and special expenses for walking meetlngfl, $13.89, Total, $263, 56, leaving a balance- on hand ot $4.69 on January 9. Tho earnestness nnd unselfishness of Captain Hoppes and his wife In this work of reclaiming sinners Is best evdenced by the mere pittance they receive as a salary. : '? Some people in the world persist in clinging to old methods. There are men who still use a forked stick In place of a modern plow. There are also men, who, when they nre troubled with a disordered stomach or liver, resort to the old-fashioned violent remedies that rack and rend the whole body, and while they give temporary relief, in the long run do the entire system' a great amount of harm. Modern science'has discovered remedies infinitely superior to these old-fashioned drugs, that do their work by promoting the natural processes of excretion and secre tion and gently correcting all circulatory disturbances. When a man feels generally out of sorts, when he loses sleep at night, when he gets up headachey and with a bad taste in his mouth in the morning, when he feels dull and lethargic all day, when his appetite is poor and his food distresses him, when work comes hard and recreation is an impossibility, that man, though he may not believe it, is a pretty sick man He is on the road to consumption, nervous prostration, malaria, or some serious blood disease. In cases of this description a man should resort at once to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the best medicine for a weak stomach, impaired digestion and disordered liver. It is the great blood maker and purifier, flesh-builder and nerve tonic. It cures o3 per cent, of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs andt kindred ailments. Thousands have testified to its marvelous merits. It is a modern, scientific medicine that aids without goading nature, and that has stood the test for thirty years. Medicine dealers sell it. Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation. RAYMOND & WHJTCOMB'S TOURS. ALL TRAVELING EXPENSES INCLUDED.
