of Its Collieries.
The Delaware and Hudson company
has puichased a plot ot ground 100x150
feet on Xnj Aug nvenuo nnd intend
to elect upon It a mammoth steam
power house. The building to bo
elected will be SSj.GJ feet nnd one stoiy
high. The work on the foundation Is
now being done and It will soon b
read j" for tho supcrstiuctuie.
Tho plant will geneiate steam for
furnishing tho motive power to the
Von Storch mine, tho Dickson mine,
tho Von Stmch shaft and tho com
pany's machine shons. Seven twenty
ton Hue bolleis ot the latest lmpioved
pattern will be Installed and others are
to bo added when needed. At the pre
sent time It lequlies ncaily fifty boil
ers of the old tjpe to furnish steam
to the above mentioned foui places.
Underneath the hollers will be a pat
ent fan which will be opeiated by n
suction produced In the smoke stack.
The fan Is Intended to enable culm to
be burned and Is an entliely new In
vention, The plant Is situated near the Von
Storch culm (lump, which Is estimat
ed to contain millions of tons of coal
of vatlous .sizes. The coal and slate
will be giound to buckwheat size and
will be can led by belt convej'ois to
the llio room.
Another patent aiiangemcnt will re
move the ashes and dump them Into
mining cars by which they will be e al
lied Into the mines for tho purpose of

The Installation of the new plant Is
for economic leasons and It Is estimat

MRS. HACKLEY
MUST SIGN LEASE
rORMAL DECREE IN HACKLEY
OAKrORD COAL CASE.
Judge Burlington Dismisses tho Ex
ceptions of tho Defense to the Pro
posed Deciee and Dhect3 That tho
Decree Shall Enter Requiring a
Specific Pcrfoimanco of tho Con
tract NoAppllcablo Way of Meas
uring tho Damages, So the Sale of
tho Land Must Be Enforced.
An opinion was received j'estorday
from Judge lluffington b Attorney A
J. Colboin, clerk of the United Stales
tout t, dismissing the exceptions to the
pioposed decree In the case of J W.
Oakfotd against Finncls A. Hnckley
and directing that the deciee enter.
This Is the case In which It will be
remembered Mrs Hackley lefused to
sign a lease foi the sale by contiuct
to Mi Oakford of a tract of coal land
In Wlnton, because the terms, she al
leges, were not as she had directed
hci attornej-, Judge Jcssup, to make.
The case was tiled before Judge lluf
fington in Pittsburg last fall and u
vinllct rendeicd for the plaintiff A
specific petfotniance of tho contract
was dliected and the plaintiff later
petitioned for a formal deciee ta this
rlfect. Tho defense took exception!, to
the proposed decree, alleging that the
(onttnet was not possible of specific
pel foi malice because at vaguencj In
certain of Its terms. Judge HtirtliiK
ton dismisses the exceptions as being
without ineilt and holds to his original
contention that n specific performance
of the contract Is necessary because ot
tho Inability to find any applicable
measuio of damages. The opinion in
full follows.

James W. Oakford vs. Prances A.

Sur ec ptlons to pioposed decree.
Iludlngton, J
Iu disposing of these exceptions we
hnve, at the Instance of respondents
counsel and on additional briefs recon
sidered the conclusions heretofore
reached, nnd expressed In an opinion on
lile. This lias not led to nnv change of
view, Indeed It has but s-crved to deepen
our conviction that u Just result was
reached.
Mr Oaklej's offer was specific and
definite in subject matter and price It
Is tme It also stipulates for "usual min
ing pilvllegis," nnd "a reasonable mini,
mum " Hut what such "usual mining
privileges," or what "a leasonable mini
mum" should be. were not necpssitlly
nutters to be fixed by the parties alone
They were matters of fact, susceptible
of ascertainment, and u covenant foi
them Inserted In a subsequent lease was
not vague, Indefinite nnd uncertain
TIi it an ngiceniint to lease coil. In
other resnects certain, and one propel
for specific pciformnncc, should be de
nied specific performance because It stip
ulates for "usual mining pi Iv lieges" and
'a leasonable minimum," Is to Ignore
tlio principle "Id cerium est quod ccr
tum reddl potest "
While It Is hup such prlvlleses and
minimum might be fixed by ugl cement
of tho partiis jet, should one part re
fuse to fix them, or both omit to elo so
lliev were none the less susceptible of
subsequent dellnlto ascertainment.
SHE ACCDPTHD OFFEH.
The offi r, in this form, Mrs Uacklev
In wilting lie cepted, directed "W II Ji

It Is not "a pi ope r base " but "the proper
liaM , one to close the tians ictiou That
It was fo leg.mled bj- her counsel Is
cleai, for, on notlfjlng Oakley of the ne.
cept.ilice or his otfi r, he stated- "Tho
acceptance Is predicated upon thn sign
ing of such lease as I sh ill advise her to
pre pare."
Such lease was ptepaied bj- her agent,
dttlj authoiUed thereto It was ac
cepted nml signed by Oakley This com
pleted the contract Coun-el have not

been, which In fact the j aio not hhown
to be It Is to be noted that the lease wns

agi nt and bv him furnished to Oakley
'I he ipspnndint did not base her le

no conliaet whatever existed.
On this lu.i"(li of the o.is which slw
