ORDINANCE WILL
BE ALLOWED TO DIE
No Further Action Will Be Taken
with the Far-Famed License
Tax Measure.
It is not likely that any further ac
tion will be taken by the present coun
cils on the far-famed license tax ordi
nance, for the reason that the various
acts of assembly governing second
clahH cities provide for many different
features than does tho net. governing
third-class cities.
It has been discovered, for instance,
that there is a provision in the Act of
1SS7 which permits cities of the second
class to levy an annual business tax.
"such as may be deemed Just nnd
equitable." upon the toal deposits of all
banks within said cities. Under the
third-class city law a tax up to hut
not beyond $100 can be levied on a
banking instiution. It will be noted
that the Act of 1SS7 fixes no limit.
Tlie .same act provides that a just
and equitable tax may also be levied
upon the average yearly receipts of all
insurance companies doing business in
nny city of the second class. I'niler
the third-class city law dio Insurance
company can he taxed over $100.
Then the matter of tho taxation of
street iiillway companies Is also
changed. The third-class city iw al
lows municipalities to levy tax of JlrtQ
on the ears of all stieet railway com
panies, and a number of good lawyers
in this city hold the opinion that a tax
on the grosh receipts of such a corn
pan j cannot exceed what the aggie-
gate amount ol' a tax of MOO per car
would foot up 'to.
As far as can be learneil, there is no
provision in the genet al acts of assem
bly governing seconel-clnss cities f ni
nny tax whatever on stieet railway
companies. It must be stated, how
ever, that tho city of Allegheny is levy
ing nnd collecting without any trouble
a tax of four per cent, on tho gross re
ceipts of its street railway companies,
so that second-class cities, in the ab
sence of any specific legislation, prob
ably have more power In this particu
lar direction than third-class cities.

Washington Avenue Hill Recalled.
A Coal Screen That No One Claims.
Binding Instructions Against tho
Electric City Land Improvement
Company Other Court Matters.
In .Itidg,- Kelly's court yonlorelny was
begun the suit of A. Hoclnnsky against
the Se-rnnton Ittillway company, one
of the two $10,1100 damage stilts grow
ing out of tho accident on North
Washington avenue hill, Mny li 1S07,
When the pin lull ff's 3-yenr-old, soil
John, and a nlghbor's o-yoar-olil boy,
.Toe Zamlodn, were killed by tt trolley
car wlillo coasting down tin., hill In
a toy express wagon.
Vosbttig & Dawson icpri-scnt tho
plaintiff, and Major Everett Wtirron
nnd Hon. Charles P. O'MuIley, of WII
lard, "Warren & Knapp, appeared for
the company.
A number of children were playing
on tlio street at that point about 5.30
o'clock in thu evening. The lloeianskv
nnd Zamleda boys were in an. o.vpres-
wagon and started to coast down the
hill about the same time that a Green
I lldgt; Suburban car, in charge of
Motormnn John O'Donnell, began the.
descent.
Tho wagon went faster than the car,
it appears, and when tiuurter way
ilenvn the hill, passed it out. Sudden
ly, the front wheels of the little wngon
struck it stone, which caused it to
swerve towards tno traeu, ana ine
next instant one of tho wheels sank
into a broken place in the asphalt and
overturning the wagon, threw tlio
children directly In front of the car.
They were killed by being rolled alons
by tho pilot board.
COULD NOT STOP IN TIME.
The motormnn says he saxv Ihe
wagon when it wns abreast of tlio
front platform of tbc car and that a
mon who was standing besido him
called to him to look out thut he did
not run over the children. He was
applying the brake when the wagon
suddenly swerved in towards the track
overturned and threw the children un
der the fender. It was impossible for
him to stop the car in time to pre
vent the accident.
The plaintiff claims that the motor
man xx'ouid have; had time to stop tho
ear if he hud been attending to his
business, Instead of chatting with a
passenger, as it lit alleged, he was do
ing. Tho company's claim that tho
parents were guilty of contributory
negligence In allowing such youthful
children to bo playing on the street
where there is a cartraek, was met
by the counter charge that teh parents
entrusted the children to an 11-year-old
daughter of the Poi'iansk.ys, and
Hint in tho eyes of the law, she Is a
capable care-taker.
The ejectment case of the Electric
e.'ity Land Improvement company
was brought to an end yesterday
morning by Judge Archbold directing
n verdict for the defendant. He hold
that the proper remedy was a suit for
damages.
The case of thu Exeter .Machine com
pany against the Pino Hill Coal com
pany Is on trial bofote Judge Arch
bald. The plaintiff sues for $700 for
the construction of a Parson's stink
ing screen for tho defendant's col
liery at Minersvllle, Schuylkill county.
IT DID NOT FIT.
The screen did not lit the (timbers
that were made to receive It, although
the timbers were put together after
plans sent on by the plalnitff company.
Furthermore, it did not come up to
requirements and had to be supplanted
by another style of serpen. The screen
in dispute is now lying alongside the
railroad track, awaiting a claimant.
Tho conl company will not have It
and the machine company refuses to
tako it back.
The defendant company, through its
superintendent, Clarence Sturges,
maintains that the machine eompany'ii
agent, Mr. Jenkins, when Informed
that the screen was not working suc
cessfully, said he thought his com
pany would make It right.
Tho plalnitll avers that It simply
contracted to build a screen accord
ing to the. instructions of the coal
company, and that if it does not. work
.slices? full', tho fnult lies with tho
plans and not with the workmanship.
Watson. Dlehl & Kemmerer repre
sent tlie plalntllf. The defense is rep
resented by T. F. Wells, and Welles
& Toirey.
In the case of Emu Flynn against
the Father Whltty Young Men's Total
Abstinence and Benevolent society, tho
Jury yesterday returned a verdict in
favor of the defendant society, which
xvns representee! by Attorney E. C.
Newcomb. A rule for n new trial was
secured by It. J. Itenmlsh and Vos
burg & Dawson, tho attorneys for tho
plalnitff.
Claims Costs Are Excessive.

the shape of an exception to the 1)111 of

of Harry A. Depuy against Mrs. Jennie

Ho denies that the arbitrators sat

for serving subpoenas are right, and
that W. J, Hand, being an attorney, Is

the verdict was $I1S.25.
