One of Them Deals 'with the Side bottom Checker Playing Case and Another the Question of Boaid Bills "Pop" Lalne's Debt Again in Court Two New Trespass Suits Filed Cases ii- Common Pleas Court Judge Archbald Sustains the Report Concerning Toll Road. Judge John P. Kelly yestcrdaj' fllcd Ave opinions, tlio first hei Iiom handed down elnco his elevation jlo the bench. None of them were of unusual Import ance and only one of them contained anything that jravc opportunity for inlprostltiK treatment. This one was the case of the Shaffer estate, In which exceptions were taken to the report of Auditor Herman Os tiums by Isaac Slelcbottom and his wife, whose claim of $1,806 was dis solved. Part ot the claim, It will bo remembered by readers of Tho Trib une, was for tlmo spent by Sldebottoin In playing checkers with old man Shaffer. Judge Kelly, after discussing the case Interestingly, finds that the ref eree's Judgment was correct and adds: "If any Injustice has been done tho claimant It Is due to his misfortune In being unable to furnish evidence sufficient to satisfy the requliements of the law In ctbes of this character." In the case of Mary Coyne against John Slane, Judge Kelly discusses and decides the question at Issue as fol lows: "Can one who has obtained a judg ment for board for mote than four weeks Issue an attachment for a sum BUfllelent to pay for four weeks board, and after having collected such sum again Issue an attachment on the same Judgment to collect for an ad ditional four weeks' board We think tiot. The attachment Is In the nature of an execution and should follow the Judgment. We know of no authority to justify tho plaintiff In the Judg ment, the whole amount of which Is due end payable. In Issuing a series of executions so as to collect his Judg ment in Installments." In tho case ot the Dime bank to tho case of Frank Suydain against John down and others, the exceptions to the report of the referee were over ruled and judgment directed to en ter for the plaintiff. The rule for Judgment for want of sufficient affidavit of defense, In the wage-" case of E. K. Blockhard, admin istrator, against Al. T. Keller, was dlschaiged, Judge Kelly holding that tho affidavit, while not all that might be desired, was not Insufficient. The appeal from the summary con IcJion In the -case of-the common wealth against Anthony 13. Kuddy was sustained. Nicholas George, of Ferdi nand sticet, had ltueldy, his son-in-law, arrested for driving on tho side walk, and Alderman Meyers fined him $3. The appellant claimed there was no Melon alk at the place In question, and nothing having tho appearunce of a sidewalk. In Common Pleas Court.

A verdict for the plaintiff in tho sum n S33 was secured In the case of K. M. l.vpp against J. .1. Woodllng. Lepp woked as a catpenter for the defend ant In 1897. Ho alleged Woodllng owed him $14 balance for wages. Wood llng produced a check which he paid Lepp In December, 1897, and which was "payment In full to date." Attorney T. V. Duffy, who represented the plain tiff, argued to the jury that the "pay ment In full to date" was added after the cheek was returned ftom the bank, nnd pointed out a difference In tho shade of the Ink used to wilte the body of the check and that which was used to write the phrase In question. A. A. Chase was attorney for the defendant. A jury was out at adjourning time In the wage case of Frank H. Oakley against George II. Welland, which was tried before Judge Kelly. The case of John Benore & Son against Ferdlnando Arlgonl is on before Judge Kduaids. It Is a claim of $150 for material. In the case of" O. M. Fletcher against M. 12.

The creditors got together and after a conference with the trolley company In 1893, ar ranged that three of their number, the trustees above named, should take charge of the park and conduct It until such tlmo as enough money "was real ized to pay oft Lalne's Indebtedness. The trolley company felt morally, If not legally obligated to help on the ad justment and agreed to contribute $2,000 per year, to be used as a work ing capital and not to be distributed nmonj the creditors while there was necessity of a working capital. In March last the trustees brought suit to lecover $3,500, which amount It was alleged the company was owing under this agreement. In answer to this suit, the company says that one month before the suit was Instituted It repossessed Itself of the park through a default on the part of the trustees to pay the $1 a year rental that was agreed upon. Further, It alleges that the trustees violated tho agreement by not using their best endeavor to make the park prosperous and In voting to themselves $500 a year for salaries as trustees. The company claims to have paid $6, 071.69 to the trustees and that It has been unable to secure an accounting. WIUalTt, AVancn & Knapp represent the company. Two Damage Suits Begun.

Tho Whole of the Act of 1874 De clarod Constitutional What tho Court Has to Say About tho Diffi culties It Encounters Owing to tho Restrictions of the Constitution. Act of 1874 tn Its Main Features Affecting School District Is in Har mony with Act of 1854. Following Is the opinion recently ren dered by the Supremo court In tho school board case, declaring the board of twenty-one tho legal body in cities of the third class: i It Is conceded that the respondents were duly elected school controllers in accordance with the act of May 23, 1874, section 41, P. Ii. 231. and that they arc rroperly qualified and entitled to hold tho. office, if the act Is valid. Dut It Is said that the act being one for the classification and regulation of cities of the third class, sec tion 41 and those parts of the act which reUtc to school districts arc void as local or special legislation on a subject prohibited by section 7 of article III ot the constitution. The learned court below so held. Section 41, which is In question, provided that "each of said cities of the third class shall con stitute one school district." There is nothing new or peculiar In this, so far as it makes the district co termlnous in territory with the city, for the legislature has alwajs constituted school districts of territory embraced in some of the municipal divisions of tho state. Thus the act of May 8, 1851, section I, 1. L. 617, which is the foundation of tho existing statute law on the general subject, provides that "every township, borough and city shall constitute a school district." Section 11 then provides that "all the property therein shall bo the common property of said district, and the members of the board of school controllers for the time being shall have power to levy and collect taxes and the same rights and powers in relation to real and persona propel ly as is now by law couierred upon vnc school directors of the several districts of this commonwealth, and they shall govern and manage the public schools In, tho manner now provided by law for the maintenance of a sys tem of education bj- common schools"; but fur ther proceeds to fix the number of school con tiollcis aceoidlng to the number of wards in the citj, and their teparatc election by the elec tors of the several wards. These latter provi sions apply in terms only to cities of the third class, and herein lies the substance of the ob jection made. IT IS A CLASSIFICATION. The most cursory examination ot this act dis closes that it is pro. tanto a classification of school districts, which by previous law as well as bj- Its provisions, were co-terminous with the cities being legislated for. Al the ditc of the act the constitution was just adopted, and its restrictions on the forms of expression ot legis lative meaning were not so prominent in the minds of legislators as they have since become. Hence the necessity for,1 express classification was not specially apparent. Put the legislative intent Is clear, and there is nothing unconstitu tional in It. In Llojd vs. Smith, 176 Pa. 'U. it was said thit the principle was established "that a law which does not exclude anj- one from a class, and applies to all the members ot the class equally, is general. The samo principle must make classification constitutional as to the other political and munlcipil divisions of the state when considered in their governmental ca pacity. Classification of counties is, therefore, as per missible as classification of cities, and the legis lature may determine what differences In situa tion, circumstances and needs calls for a differ ence in class, subject to the supervision of the courts as the final interpreters ot the constitu tion, to sec that it Is actual classification, and not special legislation under that guise." And the test In this respect Is not wisdom, but good faith in the classification. Scabolt vs. Commrs. 167 I'a. 318. It has already been held in bugar Notch borough, 102 IM. 319, that "there is no constitutional objection to the classification of school districts any more tnan of cities. Doth are included in the same clause of the constitution prohibitory of local or special legis lation, and there is no argument against classi fication of anj- one that is not equally forcible against the other." What is classification? With reference to the present subject, it Is the grouping iOgcther for purposes of Iglslatlon of , communities or public bodies which, by reason of similarity of situation, circumstances, re quirements and convenience, will have their pub lic interests best subserved by similar regula tions. Till: M.CE&MTY. It is said that classification is only sustained on tlo ground of ncccssitj. Hut the necessity spoken of by this court In Wheeler vs. Phila delphia, 77 Fa. 338, was the necessity of ese-ape from the intolerable inconvenience of uniformity of regulations under circumstances and needs cBentially different. And in general, with ref erence to public matters and legislative usage, nccssity means greit or urgent public con venient e. Thus viewers under the act ol June 13, 1S3S, arc required to examine and report whether the road desired be necessary for a public or private road," etc., It cannot be contended that anjlhlng more is meant than public convenience. And many other illustrations might be given to the same effect. The strictest definition of necessary to be found in the books by Mcrrett J. in Ajar's Ap peal 12 J Pa. 26, 281, is not essentially different "a necessity spring fiom manifest peculiarities clearly distinguishing those ot one class from each of the other classes, and Imperatively de manding legislation lor each class separately that would be useless and detrimental to the oth ers. ' lhey are general laws because they applj alike to all that are similarly situated as to their peculiar necessities." I lie classification of school districts intended by the act of 1674 is upon lines of distinction genuine and as fundamental as its classification of cities themselves. Doth cities and school districts exercise functions which are govern mental In character, and they necessarily run closely together, 'ihc legislature may rccogniie this fact and provide for the regulation of the two powers concurrently in the same territory so far as the' relate to the same or similar .mat ters, so that the same governmental functions as, for instance, the supreme power of arbitrarily taking the citizen's property by taxation, shall be exercised harmoniously over the inhabitants ot the same district, An illustration of this principle may be found In, the act of 1831, which has worked so well In practice that for nearly half a century it has been the basis of all the statute law on the A Real Bargain in an Upright Piano O One That Has Only Been Slightly Used -OR- One Entirely New, on Which You Are O Sure to Save from $75.00 to $100.00 wmmkmmmwmmmmm lIH)ll' IIHItltHM)t,m Bntatf ; A V yr G.V.

Section first of tbat act, as already quoted, provides "that every township, borough and city shall constitute and be a school district, subject to the provisions of this act, but any borough which Is or rruy be con nected with a township tn the assessment of county rates and levies shall, with the said town ship, form one district." KX1KNT OF CLASSIFICATION. How far classification In connection with cittes micht be applied to functions of the school boards striitly educational in character, such as the euiallfieatlons of pupils or teachers, the grading of schools, the course ot study, etc., wc need not now consider. This aet does not in terfere with any such matters, but leaves them all unchanged, as before, in tho hands of the governing bodies. The act deals with business affairs which, though relating to schools, are in their nature municipal, and provides a similar S) stern for those similarly situated. It does not make the school boards part of the municipal government; they arc left as Inde pendent as they were before. But recognizing that a large population compressed Into a small territory mar nave the tame necessity for a somewhat differently constituted board of gov ernment for the business affairs of Its schools, that it has for its strictly municipal affairs, it provides a special system for districts so spe cially situated. This is the legitimate office of classification and therefore is not local or spe cial within the prohibition or the constitution.
