Lukens, supervisor of Ridley township, Dela ware county, Pa., which were found Sunday In n frightful state of decom position at tho Notch by n party of youiiff boys, were yesterday taken In clmrKo by J. Parry Lukens, son of the deceased, who accompanied them to Hackettstown, whore they will be in terred. Prior to the departure Coroner J. J. Koberts examined the body and will probably hold an Inquest In the case today. It Is now thought that ner vous exhaustion was the cause of Lu kens' death. A month ago he had a very severe attack of the grippe and was confined to his home for three weeks by It, and after he left his bed was noticed to be suffering in a slight measure from temporary aberration of the mind. On the Thursday before he left home he fainted while in the stable and, falling to tho lloor, severely sprained his wrist. A leather band around the wrist was one of the marks which made the Identification possible by his son when he examined tho remains Monday afternoon. It is now thought that he left hl-j home with a vague Idea of vlsltinrr friends In this part of the state, and that on arriving here wandered to the Notch, suffered from n sudden attack, and, falling In the thicket, expired. Mr. Lukens would have been 73 years of age Dec. 21. He belonged to an old Quaker family of Philadelphia. He was able to trace his ancestry back to Isaiah Lukens, a Quaker mochonlo who made the clock for the State House In tho City of Brotherly Love and for years kept It In repair. He was elected supervisor of Ridley township In 1S9S, on th s Republican t'eket and during his term hil preivfcd a most competent and cfToierit olliclal.

Kdward Graham, of 1109 Suctlind street, age tnpnthj, Funeral notice later. THREE OPINIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT RECEIVED YESTERDAY BY TRO THONOTARY COPELAND. They Contain tho Reasonings and Conclusions of the Commonwealth's Highest Tribunal in tho Cases of Von Storch Against Von Storch, Sowngo Company A'gainst Oly phant, and Gunster, Assignee, Against Jessup and Others Local Court Affirmed in Each Instance. Prothonotaiy John Copeland yester day received from Prothonotary Charles Green, of tho Supreme court, copies of the opinions rendered, Wednesday last, In the cases of Von Storch against Von Storch, the Olyphnnt Sewage and Drnlnuge company against the Bor ough of Olyphnnt, nnd Gunster, as signee, against Jessup nnd others, com monly known ns the City bank case. In tho first named opinion, which Is by Justice McCollum, a nice compli ment Is paid tho trial Judge, Hon. R. W. Archbald, on his review of the long-drawn-out case, contained In an opin ion on the rule for a new trial. The Supreme court's confirmation of Judge Archbald's llndlng is couched In theso words: This was an action of ejectment brought to recoer possession of land width the plalnlllf claimed he had alld title to. That the land was tonwi'i! to him many jears ago was shown by the deeds and papers In his possession and admitted In cldcticc on the trial. It required no oral testimony to establish his case in chief. Tho documentary evidence alone was quite eulll cent for that purpose. The reply of the defend ant to the claim of the plaintiff was based on an alleged equity arising from an alleged parol trust. It needs no argument to proe that a defense of this nature cannot rrcvall In the ab sence of clear nnd satisfactory proof to sustain It. "The legal title to lands ought not to be exposed to the peril of n successful attack, ex cepting where the right in equity is clearly established," Clark J. in Karnest's Appeal, lOd Pa. 31S. A NICK COMPLIMENT. The testimony introduced on die trial was re markably voluminous and a part of it related to matters relevant to the Issue and occurring more than fifty jrara ago. This testimony we have examined and considered with care and the con clusion we hive drawn from It Is that It pre sented an issue for the detcnnlnation of a Jury under proper Instructions from the court, A specification herein of any part of the testimony is needless. Kwry part of it which is material to a proper understanding of the Issue was re ferred to In the charge, which occupies eighty pages of the appellant's paper uook. More ex haustive and palns-laklng Instructions seldom it ever appear in a charge. Whether there was an irror in the instructions Is a question to be con sidered In tonnection with the assignments re lating to the subject. There arc thirty -seven assignments filed In the case and ten of them aie lused on cxtcrpls from the charge. We have carefully examined and fully considered the excerpts on which the ten assignments alioec referred to rest, and are un able to discover In cither of them any range for a reversal of the Judgment or re-trial of the case. In this connection we may state that, In our opinion, the learned court below did not eir In dee lining to grant permission to the defend ants' counsel to open and close the case to the Jury. This refusal is the basis of the second assignments, which we now dismiss with the as signments based on tho excerpts from the charge. The assignments relating to the affirm anic or denial of the points submitted and to the admission or rejection of nITers of evidence need not be pecllkally referred to Herein. Hav ing examined all the assignments and duly con sidered the arguments of counsel in support of and against tliem, we conclude that there Is no reasonable ground for reversing the Judgment entered in the court below. Tlie case was care fully and fall ly tried and the result reached is In conformity Willi the testimony on which the verdict was hasi'd. All tuc assignments are thertforc dismissed. Judgment affirmed. PROCEEDINGS IRREGULAR. The opinion In the Olyphnnt sewer case Is by Justice Fell. There was only one question at Issue, tho validity ef the plaintiff's charter, nnd Justice Fell disposes of It In modest space, as fol lows: Tested by the settled rule of our cases the con clusion icaehed by the learned judge of the com mon picas is right for the reasons stated by him. We have uniformly held that the validity of a charter for a public purpose cannot be do etcrmlned in a collateral proceeding by a pi I vate suitor. It can be done only In a direct pro ceeding to which the commonwealth Is a party. Among the more recent cases on the suh.'tet are lllnehman vs. Philadelphia and West Chester Turnpike Hoad company, 180 Pa. 150, and the 3as and Water company vs. Dorough of Uown inirtci, lot Pa. 2i5. Whether a right or 'mi iiise claimed by a corporation Is conferred by Hi charter may be Inquired Into in a proece.llni; at law or In equity by a party injured, as pro vided by the act of June lutli, 1S71, P. L. I'm; lut whither for any reason the charter of a cor poration was originally invalid or has been for feited is a question which the commonw Mlrh only can rilie. The decree Is affirmed at the cost of the ap pellants. Judge Edwards tried the Olyphant case, nnel ns has been the Invariable rule with his findings In municipal law, the Supreme Justices concur with him In every one of his conclusions. The Cltv bank case was tried by Judge Archbald. Tho witness referred to Is Edward Menifleld. His transfer of his Interest In the bank was male Just a few days before tho second trial was decided by Judge Archbald to bo a colorable transaction and therefore could not be allowed to make the wit ness competent. As the whole case de pended on Mr. Merrllleld's testimony, the trial was abruptly terminated and an appeal taken to tho Supreme court. The Supreme court, through Justice Pell, had this to say of the matter: ACTION WAS COLORABLE. This action was brought by tint assignee for the benefit of creditors of the Scranton City bank on a bond conditioned for the faithful per formance of the duties of its vice-president. Tlie principal and two of the sureties died lief 01 e the trial, and the representatives of their estates have been substituted on the record as defend ants. The witness whose competency was chal lenged as to matters which had occurred during the lives of the deceased parties was a stock holder In the bank at the time the assignment was made, and as such was liable to the credi tors In double the amount of tho stock held by Mm. He was also a director, and with the other directors had entered Into an agreement with the depositors to pay them In full and to take an assignment of their claims against the bank, and claims amounting to ?1S3,000 had been as signed to them. For the purpose of carrjlng out this agreement, the witness had joined with the other directors In borrow-in; a large amount cf money on their Joint notes, one which for $J,000 was still unpaid. Notwithstanding the apparent incompetency of the witnecs because of Ids in terest in the result of the trial, It was contend ed that he was qualified to testify hccauie the statute of limitation was a bar to any proceed ings to enforce the liability of the stockholder), under the special provisions of the bank's char ter, and because he had assigned his Interest tn the fund In the hands cf the assignee for the benefits of creditors which ho hail acquired by the agreement mentioned for the purthasa of the depositors' claims against the bank, It was held that the statute of limitations relieved the wit ness from liability as a stockholder, and that the assignment of his Interest was not colorablo, but that It did not carry the whole interest, as he will still be liable on his agreement to pay the stockholders In full, and on the note given for the money bonowed for the purchase of claims.

Your mcdlcluo has worked wonders for me,"-Mus. H. Baiinuaiit, New Castlk, Pa to the attention of the court, a different con clusion might have been reached as to the ef fect of the assignment, even if It had carried the whole Interest. It was made a few dajs before the second trial, and evidently not in that good faith which the Matute requires, but for the sole purpose of enabling tho witness to sustain tlie action of his testimony. The deci sion, however, Is based upon reasons whlth fully sustain It. Tho agrtcment to pay tho deposits In full was binding. Admittedly they had not been paid In full, and the court with the witness be fore It found that the directors had not been re lease'd. Whatever the assignee for the benefit of creditors might recover in this action would go in direct relict of the pecuniary obligation of the witness. The Judgment Is affirmed. THAT ALLEGED LEPER. Olyphant Board of Health Failed to Meet to Consider the Case Dr. Longstreet's Opinion. There was no meeting of the Oly phant board of health last night, owing to the fact that several of tho mem bets were out of town, and as a con sequence no olliclal action has as yet been taken In tho case of Soo Kee, the Chinaman, who Is believed by some of the borough physicians to be suffering from leprosy. His laundry shop has not been quar antined but has been closed, so as to prevent a spread of disease, what ever It may be. T we) Dr. Kelly?, father and son, ate still firmly con vinced that tho Chinaman Is suf. ..ing from leprosy, but several other physi cians of the borough will not bo con vinced of it, maintaining that he Is suffering from eczema or some othr skin disease. Dr. S. II. Longstreet, of this city, ex amined the patient a shoit time ago, at the solicitation of Dr. Leonard Kelly, jr., and stated yesterday to a Tribune man that the Chinaman presented nil of the symptoms of leprosy, and that he believed him to be suffering from that disease. "Nevertheless," said the doctor, "lep rosy Is probably the hardest disease) known to medical science to diagnose. It Is sometimes seven or eight years before It develops sufficiently for the physician to dellnltely determine whether or not the patient is suffer ing from the disease or not." It Is probable that a meeting of the board will be called for the latter end of the week, so that some action may be taken on the case, as the Chinaman has at present no one to care for him. SEWER BOND ORDINANCE. Finance Committee Decides to Report It Favorably. The finance committee of select council met last night and decided to report favorably on the sewer bond ordinance which Is expected to pass two readings In that branch .tomorrow night. A special meeting may be called to pass It on third reading on Friday night, as the tax levy cannot be made until It Is passed nnel there Is a very urgent need for having the levy made, there being no money at present In thn general city nccount. The members of the committee also discovered from the controller's report, which was referred to them, that there Is a balance of $3,270 remaining from the bond issue for the purchase of Nay Aug park. This money can only be used for the purchase of park prop erty. Counellmen Melvln suggests that about four acres on the easterly side of the Roaring Brook be purchased, so that the park can run along on that side as far as It does on the westerly side. m MORAN SUCCEEDS CHANCE. Local Journalist Comes Into Im portant Position. By tho death of George Chance, of Philadelphia, the noted labor leader, the position of president of the Penn sylvania Legislative Labor league, filled so long and faithful by Mr. Chance, descends to Patrick G. Moran, of this city, editor of the Every Satur day, who was the league's vice-president. The league has an executive commit tee composed of three men, who spend all their time In Harrlsburg during thn sessions of the legislature, looking after the welfaro of measures affecting labnr Interests. The president of the league Is chairman of this committee, and, ns may be believed, Is an Important per sonage In Pennsylvania labor circles. The committee will meet In Harrls burg the first Monday In January, for reorganization. An Epidemic of Diarrhoea. Mr. A.

Inquest Hnd Several Irrelevant Fea tures, but a Large Amount of Evi dence Tending to Explain tho Wreck and What Led Up to It 13 Adduced That Boys Were in tho Habit of Changing the Signal Lights Is Quite Conclusively Proven Will Visit Scone. "Who arc you acting ns lawyer for, anyway, the company or county? Do you want to bulldoze me Just because you have ine hero slnglehnnded? I withdraw from the stand." This Par thian shot was delivered by Patrick Brady, first of the witnesses sum moned by Coroner J. J. Roberts in the Inquest last night In the case of Motor man Westbrook, who was killed In the collision of two cars nt Rendham on tho Scranton Street Railway company's Duryca line, July 8. Tho witness de livered tho words In a loud, animated voice to Coroner Roberts, and then started to leave the stand. This was the auspicious opening of the case, and until 11 o'clock the Jurors wore forced to listen to a mass of confused evi dence, regarding the collision, ad journing nt last to have another sit ting. At the suggestion of Attorney C. P. O'Mnlley, who appeared in the Inter ests of tho company, the Jurors will bo given a ride this afternoon to the scene of the catastrophe on two cars similar to those In the wreck. A strong effort Is being made by tho company to prove that the accident was In no way due to any defects in the construction of the road, or any carelessness on the part of the crew of either car, but that It was tho direct result of a misunderstanding nrlslng on account of the signals having been changed by mischievous boys living in the neighborhood. SIGNALS ARE CHANGED. Several witnesses testified that boys In the neighborhood often Interfere with and change the signals, and for that reason they consider tralllc on tho road dangerous. Mis. John Owens, of Old Forge, testified that she lives near a signal box, and has often seen boys Interfering with the signals. They con gregate In a field nearby and play ball, and on several occasions she has seen them either pulling down the ilgnal3 with sticks, or mounting on each other's shoulders to change them. Whenever she saw the boys Interfer ing with the lights, she called to them to leave the signals alone. On no oc casion had she heard a conductor re questing any one standing near a box to chance the signals for him. Patrick Brady, the first witness put on the stand, testified that he was In the car coming from Duryea to Scran ton. There wero about ten passengers on tho car. At Rendham the two cars collided as they met after descending the two grades. He was unable to say whether the car was under vp.i. sonable control, saying that he was not conversant enough with the sub ject and could not give nny decided opinion. Both men, however, he though did their best to avert tho col lision. Mr. Brady was rather an uncomfort able kind of a witness and both Coro ner Roberts and the Jurymen were un able to get much Information from him. Attorney O'Mnlley opened flro with a few queries as to whether or not he remembered the conductor ha ing left the car to change the signals, etc., and then asked him "How about the speed?" TILT WITH WITNESS. "I object," Interposed the coroner, forcibly pointing his finger fiercely at the witness and continued: "This man knows nothing about the speed. He has testified already to that ef fect." After considerable debate, however, the witness was alloweel to answer and replied: "To the best of my belief there was fuller speed at the time of the collision than at any time during the ride, each man thinking he had a clear road be fore him. The rate at which we were going I should judge to be about twen ty miles an hour." A few tart words here passed be tween Coroner Roberts and tho wit ness, which resulted In the volcanic outburst quoted above by Mr. Brady. William Lamoreux, another passen ger on the Scranton bound car testi fied that while on the car he saw ti motormnn tightening the brakes and making a strenuous effort to stop the car. Jlrs. Foley, of Rendham, who was walking nearby at the time of the collision gave evidence to the same effect. Rev. J. L. Race, pastor of the Stewart Memorial church, at Rend ham, was another witness called. He told how he had been standing In front of his parsonage when he heard tho cars approaching. "I saw them com ing near each other," said he, "but I thought they would merely come close to each other on the track and then stop, ns I had often before seen them do. On several occasions tho cars have met and would halt awhile, tho two motormen disputing tho right of way, at which times I acted as peace-maker. The two cars wero approaching each other slowly and I had no idea that any accident would result. At that they camo together. NO PREVIOUS INJURY. f On cross-examination ho reiterated the assertion that tho cars had como together on previous occasions at tho point In question, without any Injmy, nnd that the dire resulti of the colli sion of July 8, In his opinion, were due to a changing of the signals. Tho Scranton bound car, ho declared, was a stronger built car than the or.e from Scranton, and after the collision it was found resting on the other's platform. On being further questioned he declared that he snw nothing to make him believe that either brakemun had neglected his duty. Vincent nnd Nicola Scandolle, who wero riding on the car from Duryea then testified, giving their residence through an Interpreter. Vincent said that the motorman on his car Jumped off nnd was followed by most of tho passengers Just boforo the cars struck. Nicola gave testimony to the samo ef fect. Conrad Lang, who lives In Rend ham, near the scene of tho collision, and who saw tho wreck, gavo his ver- ) slon of it, which was very similar to that of Rev. Mr. Race, nnd his little grandson produced , several rough sketches which ho drew Immedlataly after the collision, showing tho posi tion of Ui3 cars.
