A non-suit vxas thereupon directed by
Judge Udwnids. Later In the day an
other action In ejectment was brought
by Mr. Fiothlngham for tho samj
pioperty.
The suit of W. F. Smvtlie against
Mary Shamioik was nott put on trial.
Tho plaintiff sued to lccovor $100 which
ho alleges is duo him -is a i nmmlsslon
for u loin he tried to obtain for her
on piopeity she owns nt Tluoop. He
alleges that ho vxas to got the com

defendant said there vxas no agree
ment as to price, she moiely promis
ing to pay the plnlntl'f whatever hli
seivlics were worth for obtaining tho
loan If ho was successful. The f.ie
went to the Jury at 1 o'clock. Tho
plaintiff vxas represented by Attorney

sup. It Is n suit to recover coal royalties
instituted In 1833. Judge Harold Mc
Clure, of Lexxlsburg. first tried It. He
took It from the Jury and directed a
veullct for the defendant, ruling that
It vxas not an action In assumpsit. Tho
Supreme court leversed this finding ana
ouleied a new trial.
Judge Edwaids next tiled It and a
verdict vxas found for the defendant,
but some defect vxas shoxxn In the trial
nnd a nexv trial granted. Last June,
Judge Purdy took a try at It and after
a lengthy production of evidence nnd
hours of argument, the Jury dlsngteed.
Tho coal In dispute Is situated In
Tluoop. One William Knapp settled
theio on a 160 aeie tiact In the year
ISOs, Ho went away a couple of times,
ome In 1S12, to light tho British, but
In 1S30, moie than twenty-one jeats
later, ho vxas still In possession of tho
tiact. In this year his Interests xxero
sold at sheilff's sale and were pur
chased by one Bldlack, who afterxxuids
assigned tho shctlft's deed to Heimans,
leseivlng, however, an undivided half
Interest In the coal.
HERMANS ASSIGNED.
In 1S32 Heimans assigned his Inter
est to James Andeison. who In 1M3
puichnsed what ho claimed vxas the
legal paper title coming down fiom thu
commonwealth, and which all tho tlmo
had been In tho possession of the
rishci family, of Philadelphia.
In 18"1 ii special act was passed t
enable Bldlaik's widow to sell his land
and she sold his one-half Interest to
Pilco & Pant oast, who leased It to tho
Pancoast Coal company.
Anderson held the surface and bis
half of tho coal until 18C7, x hen ho sold
to Allen Anderson, his son, and James
Savage, his hon-ln-law. A year or two
later Allen Anderson sold his shnio to
W. W. and A. H. Wlnton. W. W. Wln
ton Bold his Interest to the Wlnton
Coal company, nnd now tho court It
asked to decide whether he sold an
eighth or a quaiter Inteiest.
Tho plaintiff claims Allen Anderson
owned a half-Interest. Tho defendant
says It was only u quarter Interest.
The defendant company Is now paying
royalty on eight eights. Tho amount
involved Is about $20,000.
New Trial Refused.
Judge II. W. Archbald handed down
an opinion yesterday disc hinging u
rule for a new tilal In the case of Ma
tilda Fahrlg, ndmlnlsttatrlx, ngalnst
Eugene Schlmpff. In his opinion Judgo
Archbald says:
"If an atrangement was made by
vxhich tho administratrix (Mrs. Fab
rig) thtough his (Schlmpff's) Interven
tion vxas tho real purchasi r that Is
a personal mutter between the two; It
was a fraud vpon the estate to maka
It. legally, If not by Intention, for
which the salo at tho Instance of thosj
Intel ested covld havo been set aside.
Hut tho defendant, vxho vxus a party
to It, even hud ho applied befoto tho
sale was confirmed, could hardly be
heard to do so; much more can ho not
now, when tho whole proceeding has
been closed and consummated. The
tindet taking which tho defendant ns
sutnod In becoming tho purchaser, ns
between himself and the parties dl
roctly Interested In the .estate, wis
conclusively llxed bv tho decree ot
confirmation, nnd from that bo can
not escape. Tho administratrix, In
that capiclty. Is the representative of
tho estate and Is entitled tc tho sum
hid; for that she must account, and
tho defendant Is bound to puy It.
"It Is no answer to suggest thnt ho
assumes to net at th solicitation ot
the administratrix, nnd for her Indi
vidual benefit. It ho did any remedy
which he has Is ngalnst her personally,
ho can get not relief In this action. Tho
monpy duo from hlm rcprctcnts tho
propct tv sold which vxas an csontlal
part of the decedent's estate, and th
parties tjo whom It lo to go on dis
tribution nro entitled to the payment
now demonstrated. The rule for a
new tilal Is discharged."

Conditions of the Island and Other
Matters It Is nn Ideal Place to
Live In as far ns Climate Is Con
cerned. Victor Plncltney, of US Bloom sttoct,
Dunmore, returned Sunday nfteinoon
from rffn Juan, Pueito Rico, whero he
Is occupying a government position,
being now employed as a clerk In tho
ofllco of tho Inspector general of thu
Island, nfter having served In tho mili
tary ranks.
Mr. Plnckney enlisted In tho Eleventh)
regiment, on Juno 14, 1SE nnd left tin
city on Juno 16. Ills regiment, which
was In the brigade commanded by
General Pchvvan, was mnhllis'ctl .at
Tampa, Pin., and set Bill lor Purrti

Tho leglmont of which he was a
member had a verv laigt- number
from this vicinity and tho suigeon ot
tho brigade was Dr. 1 H. McAndrow,
of this city Tho ouliis given to the
btigido wen- to unroll through the
Island and captuic and occupy all
Spanish strongholds.
Mr. Plneknev saw a good deal of ac

this command, especially at Horomlg.

In the tlrst mentioned engagement
the c-ntlre brigade was engngcd.but in
the latter one battalion. Both contests
occurred In the mountains, wlieie thp
Spanlatds wcie strongly protected.
both bv nntutnl nnd artificial re

and gained ther objective point.
On December ii Private T'inckncy xx a,s
advanced a stop and became Corporal
Plnckney. After this very little real
fighting was participated In by th
regl'iient, and for awhile Corporal
Plnckney was utilized at division he id
quartpts, where he was mede chief
clerk. Later on he was moved Into the
Inspector gereral's department, nnl
there his clerical duties became so
heavy that It was Impossible for him
to attend to both them and his mili

TIRST TIME AUDITED.
Colonel C. II. Heyl Is at tho lund of
his department, and the work clone
consists principally of .auditing the
Spanish accounts of the Island, it In
tirnal lecelpts, customs, etc. This Is
the llrst time that tin y have ben
audited, and it is a very clifllcult task
as the Spaniards left the records In a
wi etched condition.
Mr. Pincknev, when seen by a Tri
bune man, spoke entertainingly of tin
Island and expressed his belief that In
time, under the proper administration,
Pueito Rico will become one of thi
richest and most nourishing colonies
that any nntion poFesses.
"At present," said he, "the Island Ij
In great political turmoil. Txxo pai
tles, the Fedeial nnd Republican, are
sti ivlng for leadership, and are con
stantly embt oiling and quarreling. Thu
Republican party Is the mora llbeial
in its views nnd Is perfectly satisfied
with American rule. Dr. Bartossa Is
the leader. The Federals, led on by
Monos Riviera, are more of an nnar
thlstlc turn of mind and desire hom
tulo, having as their aim a monarchy
with Riviera as king. Their emblem
Is a five-pointed star, lone and soli
tary, vxhllo on tho Republican banner
Is emblazoned nn eagle peiohed over
txxo golden banners.
"The Republicans have gained all
the principal points of the lUand and
are ically the sovereign partv. Tho
general sentiment of the people of tho
Island Is towards the United States,
and even the haughty old Castlllana
are gradually coming aiound and mak
ing advances.
"The administration la now opening
up gold and copper mines, government
Ice plants aie being established anl
evetv effort Is being made to develop
the country. The tinde of the country
Is chiefly In the hands of the Spanish
who easily monopolize.
"One of the grratest evils of tho
countiy nnd what tluentens to be Its
bane Is the number of saloons estab
lished. They are crowded, day anl
night, nnd aio responsible for a great
nmount of lawlessness nnd cllsoider.
This latter, moreover, cannot be easily
checked, as the only guardians of tho
law aie native policemen, who mo
wotse than useless. Tliex' stand In

If a f"v of our big, buily blue-coats
f i oni these sections iiiuld bo sent
down the status of law and order of
the Island would bo increased In a
wondeiful degree.
"San Juan Is finely protected. It Is
entliely fortified by a luge wall, which
inns the entlie distance around It. and
fiom which the cannon point down on
the bay. Two thousind. five bundled
