The stories of the eyc-wltncsses wet
practically the same. There were n
number of boys playing about th
.street, it was made to appear, and one
of their amusements was to run up to
passersby with some gaily-pictured ad
vertising dodgers which they found on
the porch of a drug store. The Florlto
boy ran from the westerly lo the east
erly side of the street to toss one of
the dodgers to a man who happened
along, and then, turning quickly, he
started to run back. Ho hod tak"ti
only one step on the track when the
ear was upon him. From the cuib to
the first rail Is about ten feet. The
fonder struck him on the right leg and
threw him to the ground, with his head
across the enstnrly rail. The fender
passed over him, the pilot board rolled
him along for a short distance nnd
then allowing him to .pass beneath, the

him nnd crushed out his life. The sec

DRIVER MANLEY'S
THRILLING ESCAPE
The Carriage He Was Driving
Struck by a Train and Thrown
Down an Embankmentr-He
Escaped Uninjured.
At tile Lackawanna crossing near
Taylor Eugene Mnuley, driver for
Needhnm & McDonough, liverymen,
met with an accident yesterday after
noon which nearly cost him his life.
Ho was driving a hack in a funeral
procession which was returning from
Plltston. When it arrived at the
crossing a freight train was being
switched Into a. siding. The conductor
cut the train in two to let the proces
sion through.
As the two ends of the parted train
were very close together the view both
up and down the second track was ob
scured. A second freight train was
coming along on the other track, but
Manley failed to hear It and started
his horses across.
Just as he passed the parted train he
saw tho other train approaching nnd
whipped his hoises up. The animals
themselves had barely cleared the
tf.iek when the carriage was struck
and tossed down a steep embankment,
together with the horses and Manley.
All were piled in a promiscuous heap
at the bottom when some of the train
men came to the young driver's as
sistance. He was extricated from the
ruins of the wagon with difficulty and
was found to be practically uninjured,
having merely sustained a number of
severe body bruises. The horses were
slightly hurt, but the carriage was
smashed beyond repair.

PEE SYSTEM
MAY HOLD OVER
MATTER COUNTY OFFICERS ARE
INTERESTED IN.
Constitution Says No Officer's Salary
Can Bo Changed "After His Elec
tlpn" Supreme Court Has Held n
Change Cannot Be Made in a Man's
Term, and the opinion May Be
Construed to Mean "After His
Eloction" Population of County
to Be Announced Before' Jan, 1.
Will the newly elected county offi
cers be paid n salary or will they re
celve fees ns heretofore after tho
population of the county Is officially
nnnounced by the cousin- tfonnrtment
Lin Washington?
This Is a question which Is being
much discussed these da:s among the
new officials themselves, among ths
lawyers and among the taxpayers In
general. One thing Is certain. The
population of the county will be nearer
200,000 than ir.0,000 nnd perhaps be
yond this former figure.
Now, the constitution provides that
In counties having n population of
over lfiO.OOO the feo system shall be
abolished and that each officer shall
receive a certain salary to bo flsrd
by law. Tho constitution also contains
a clause which reads ns follows:
"No law Bball extend the term of
any public officer or Increase or dl
mlnl.n his salary or emolument., af
ter his election or appointment."''
ll will bo noted Hint tho above
fectlon says plainly "after his cIpc
t ion or nppoiiitment." Local lawyers
disagree In their Interpretation of this
section. .Some contend that inasmuch
ns the cinsus returns showing the
county to have a population of over
1C0.0OO wore not made public before
the election that tbe fee system can
not bo noolithod for three yenrs and
that the officials elected Tuesday can
not legally br put upon a salaried
basis.
OTHER CONTENTION.
Others contend that If the affl:iAl
aunounoompnt of th'e ropulaitlon Is
made before January 1, or before the
officials assume ofl'co that tho salary
system will Immediately go Into effort.
They look at the spirit rather than
the letter of the law, nnd say that
while the constitution reads "after his
election" that what is nunnt Is "ntlpr
ln takes or assumes office."
There nre still others who contend
that If the official announcement is
made after January 1, or ufter tlf
offieeis hae taken up the duties of
their office that immediately upon i'3
being made the salary system will c
into effect. Those who maintain this
point have not much upon which to
base their argument's Inasmuch as the
Supreme court- of the state has al
ready decided that if the census an
nouncement Is made after nn officer
assumes office, he ct'nnot Jie put upon
a salaried basis.
The case in which this opinion wns
banded down was in that of Guldin
vs. Schuylkill county, 1S02. B. C. Gul
din was elected coroner of Schuylkill
county on Nov. 4, ISSfl, and bis term
of office began In .Tnnunry. TS90. Tn
January, 1891, the 1S90 census returns
showed that Schuylkill county had a
population of 13i,lG2 as against 129,
074 In 1SS0.
THE GULDIN SUIT.
Guldin tried to collect his fees for
the mouth of January, amounting lo
Mime $2S7, but was v.nable to do so ns
coroners In counties of over 'HO.dOO
arc paid $.VJD a year. He accordingly
brought an action In assumpsit but tho
lower court decided against him en
tering judgment in favor of the de
fendant county. He Immediately ap
pealed the case to the Supreme court
and it was argued in February, 1S9.I.
The defendant county admitted the
correctness of the plaintiffs claims of
$2S7, but contended that he was affect
ed by the provisions of the act of
1S7C fixing the salary ot coroner at
$300 per year. Tha plaintiff contended
thnt the act did rot apply to him
Inasmuch as bis t moluments would
thus He diminished in violation of
Sect. 13, Art. III. of the constitution
prohibiting any Increase or decrease
of the salary of any officer after h's
election.
The opinion In the case was wrlrlon
by Judge Hoydrlck. He pointed out
that the population of the county 1 y
the census of 1SS0 was 129,974 and that
this must be deemed to be the popu
lation at the time of Guldln's election.
The judge pointed out that ac the
time of his eloction, therefore, the- J
salaiy act ot 1870 had no application .
to him or to tho office ho was running .
for. "To give it an application," says
the opinion, "after pnrt of bis term of
office had expired would be lo take
away from him the fees authorised
by law when ho accepted the office,
that Is to say it would diminish his
emoluments by law after his election
and tho result would b; precisely the
lame as If tire law were passed after
hlf election, and would therefore b a
violation of tin prohibition directed
against any ehnnr.f! ot :dlartes or em
oluments In oflic.) after his election.
MATTER OF JUSTICE.

holding him lo the pcrfoimanco of hlt

sense, might be regarded as an agreed
consideration, as well as of th? In
convenience of n luinsllion from the
fee system lo thnt of ttilaty In the
middle of a term und jenr may well
hnvo had an Infill 'nc? In moulding
this section" (Sect. 53. Art. lit).
The opinion lrmlnnles with an
order reversing the decision of lite
lower court and entering Judgment In
favor of tho plaintiff Qutdln for tho
full amount.
It Will be noted Mint In this cio
tho census flguie'i wiru not nn
nounced until 1S91 or until n year after
Guldln's Induction Into office, it is
believed, In fact, It has been an
nounced, that they will be given out
this year on tr about December 1,
so Hint a now point will thus bo raised.
Judge Hoydrlck, In icvem! plaei's,
refers to the Increase or reduction ot
nn officer's emoluments after his elec
tion ns opposed to the idea that this
section of tho const Itut-on refers lo
the time after nn officer Is sworn In.
While he does not attempt lo Interpret
Section 13, Art. III., nevertheless, It 1.1
rnsy to see, upon reading his opinion.
Hint ho was flrmty convinced at tho
time It was written that an officer s
emoluments could not be changed after
the actual date of ills election.
