DfcFENDANT WINS
IN BIGJCOAL CASE
JUDGE GORDON GIVES THE JURY
BINDING INSTRUCTIONS.
Suit Hinged on Points of Law and
the Court Decided Them in Favor
of the Defendant Company Judge
Edwards Also Relieves a Jury of
,, the Responsibility of Passing on
a Complicated Land Case Friday
Afternoon Jury That Didn't Stay
Out Marvellous to Say.
Rinding instructions In favor of tho
defendant were given by Judge Gordon
yesterday to the Jury In the case of
the Winton Coal company against tho
l'anconst Coal company which had
been on trial nil week, nnd which had
been three times previously tried.
The court ruled that there was noth
ing for the Jury to pass uron in tins
matter ot the question of title by ad
verse possession on tho rait of James
Anderson as he wont Into possession
under the Knnpp title which was ad
mittedly gained by adverse possession.
In the second place, the title through
Fisher, on which the plalntlif also re
lied, was declared liy tho court to bj
Invalid, as It was not properly proven.
Skeletonized, the case Is this: Knapp
.squatted on the land in HOS. After
twenty-two years ho let It go by
sheriff's sale and Hldloek bought It In.
Rldlock sold to Herman, reserving a
half Interest In thcconl. Hermans Bold
to James Anderson, teservlng to Hld
loek the nbovo mentioned half Inter
est In tho case. Anderson therefore
came Into only a halt Interest.
SOLD TO ANDERSON.
Anderson sold to Allen Andetson,
his son, nnd James Savage, his son-in-law.
The son sold to A. 11. nnd V.
W. Winton. A. H. Winton sold to the.
Inton Conl company and tho latter U
suing for royalties on a two-eights, in
terest. The defendant company claims)
that tho Winton Coal company only
holds a one-eighth Interest.
Under the above recital ot tho fuets
tho defendant is pi oven unquestion
ably right by a simple mathematical
calculation, but there Is nnothcr feat
uio to tho case. The very tract on
which Knnpp squatted was granted by
tho commonwealth to Fisher, ot Phila
delphia. When Fischer died he gave
his executors disci c-tlcnnry power to
sell tho land at nny figure or at any
time they saw fit. There executor
delegated this power to their attorney
and he under this authority sold the
land to James Anderson. This, tho
plaintiffs say, James Andeison camo
Into the possession of the- property and
when he told to his son and son-ln-lavv
ho sold each of them a half, Instead of
a quarter, as tho defense orgues.
Judge Gordon, however, luled thnt
this delegation of discretionary power
from tho executors to the attorney was
Invalid, It not being within the scopj
of their power as executois to delegate
to a third party the discretion that was
delegated to them.
The attorneys who wcro engaged In
this trial of the cn3e were John T5.
Colllngs, S. II. Pi Ice and I. II. Rurn9
for the plaintiff, and Wlllard, Warren
& Knnpp and ex-Judge W. II. .Tessu
for the defendant. The plaintiff's
counsel did not ask for a rule for a
new tilal, it being their Intention to
tnlte the case to tho supreme court
again.
MI3RRITT TRESPASS CASK.
In tho tiespnss case of William E.
Merrltt against A. J. Whitloek, Judge
Edwaids liiiccted a veidlct for the
plaintiff, lullng that the nlleged parti
tion made by the husband and wife
of an estate which they held ns an
entirety, was by parolo and therefore
not effective. To make such a parti
tion, tho court ruled a deed Is neces
sary. Whitloek has continued to hold tho
pot Hon of tho farm In question, claim
ing that It vvns the pirt belonging to
his mother and that she willed It to
him. In consequence the jury was
called to pass upon tho question of
mesne piotlts acciulng to the plaintiff
dining thc timo thnt has elnpsed since
he purchased the property In orphan's
court.
Tho jury went out about ?. o'clock
In the nfternoon nnd returned half an
Inter with a verdict of $G2.nO. The
names of tho jurors are Isadore Good
man, r. II. Ccnry, William D. Pem
brldge, Fred Eckert, A. A. Ayers, John
Coughland, James Durkln, Lincoln
Tlllmnn, George Knight, James O'Mal
Iey and Patrick Murphy. Had the Jury
waited out another hour they would
each have received an extra day's pay
without doing any woilt other than re
porting their verdict, ns the list for tho
week was completed and all the other
Juroi.s dlseharged,
It was a recoid breaking week In
the matter of disposing of cases, twen
ty of the thlity-llvo being erased from
tho list. All but one of them was dis
posed of by Judge Kdvvards.

IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.
The Situation as Viewed by R. G.
Dun & Co.
New York, Jan. 19. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say;
Whether tho new year will surpass
or keep pace with tho old Is the ques
tion which gives especial Interest to
every week's returns. Comparing now
with business by far the Inrgest and
most prosperous ever known a year
ngo, more than 40 per cent, larger than
In January, 1S9S, which in Its turn had
shown heavier business than In any
year preceding, it cannot be expected
that such a gain will be repeated.
Sales of foundry pig at reduced prices
Include two for 10,000 tons and No. 1
high Is quoted at $4, but Bessemer and
grey forgo nt Pittsburg are held un
changed, though without sales. The
copper output of this country In 1S99
was 262,206 tons, greater by 91,000, or
53'4 per cent., than in 1S9"-, while tho
foreign product last year, 89,240 tons,
gained In the four years only 3,062 tons.
The prices of copper and lead are un
changed, with tin higher at 2" cents.
Perhaps the most important Indus
trial event is the success in marketing
wool goods for the new season at
prices averaging 18.4 per cent, higher
than last year.
Business In cotton goods begins to
Increase, though In staples still mod
el ate. The goods now averaging 29.7
per cent, higher than a year ago, and
with the rise this week to 7.81 cents
cotton Is 4 per cent, higher.
The market for breadstuffs Is not
active, nor has any changes In prices
of wheat been of any consequences, but
the active main option shows a sharp
decline. Atlantic exports continue far
below last year's, In three weeks 6,093,
32, bushels against 13.224.0S2 last year,
and Paclllc expotts In the same weeks
were 2,291,775, ngnlnst 1.S53.991 last year.
Western recelots were In thtee weeks
only S.632,132, against 13,00r.,4S2 last
year. Corn receipts nie smaller than
last year by 5,000,000 bushels for the
three weeks, while exports have been
10,3S5,lSr(. against 9,510,499 last year, and
this active movement caused spot quo
tations to advance.
Failures for tho week have been 212
In the United States against 249 last
year, and 40 In Canada against 32 last
year.
A CRISIS IN GUATEMALA.
How a Civilian Assisted in Saving
the Government's Credit.
From tho New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"A quaint experience I onco had in
the Interior of Guatemala," said a
former resident of that icpubllc, "fur
nishes a tip-top illustration of tin
way they run governments in Cential
Ameilca. I had occasion to visit a
small garrison town In the coffee belt
on some business and found the com
mandant In a state bordeilng on dis
traction. We took dinner together and
he told mo his tale of woe between
courses. Ills soldiers, It seemed, had
been without pay for ever three
months, and ns the government mado
no effort to provide them with rations,
they had subsisted on beans, tortillas
nnd coffee furnished on credit by tho
old women of tho village. Naturally
this credit had worn Itself out, nnd two
days before I arrived all the old wo
men went on a strike, since which
time the garrison had been practically
without food. Needless to say, the
soldiers were desperate, and they had
determined to destrt en bloc and go
back to their farms. I advised th.
commandant to telegraph the facts
Immediately to the piesldent and last
ho sctewed up enough courage to send
the message. As soon as it vvns re
ceived the president sent vvoid to a
wealthy planter 'requesting' him to
dispatch some cash Instantcr to thj
commandant The planter gave a
messenger a J100 hill nnd lushed him
off on horseback for the village, which
ho reached nt daybreak next morning.
When the poor commandant saw tho
leinlttnnee he neatly swooned away,
for under the clicumstances $100 was
about ns much use to him as 100 bras.s
elephants. Nobody In the whole de
partment could change It, and ho vn J
Inthe depths of despair until I sud
Jnly nppcaied In the role of good
fairy. I happened to have 100 one dol
lar notes In my saddle bags, and I
handed over the bundle In return for
tho bill hi ought by the cornier. Tha
commandant grabbed tho package anil
kissed me violently on both cheeks.
Glory hallelujah! The country was
saved. Each soldier got a dollar,
which he paid on nccount, nnd tho
credit of tho government was restored.
Tho garrison howled with joy and the
old women shed happy tears In the
coffee which they at onco proceeded to
boll. It was a touching scene. If f
ever go back to that plaeo again I will
be treated like a pilnce,"
