The Venerable Court Crier to Beprt sent Plaintiff In TTnlqua Caae. The court reports of The Tribune are very widely read, from nil Indications, but they will be more widely and more carefully read from now on. The Trib une propose, In its court reports, to keep the public posted on tho time of the trial of the cane of J. W. Osborne against Prank Bortree. What makes the caBC the object of bo much anxious anticipation Is the fact that the plaintiff Is represented by At torney J. B. Sr.yder, nnd It Is seldom that Mr. Snyder tries 11 case. When ho does, the attorneys nnd every one else Interested In court proceedings make It their buslnebs to be on hand to secure pointers on how, or how not, a case should be tried. Tho case In question Is set forth by the following declaration: .1. V. 0bornn vrrsis Trunk flortrrr. In the rourt of common pica of l.ieUwmiim county, No. fi'7, .limitary T,. lxl.

The fact that It Is seldom Mr. Snyder will condescend to lake a case prompt ed The Tribune to Inquire Just what prompted him to condescend to toke this particular case. Mr. Snyder explained as follows: "I only take odd or unique cases. This Is an unlquecase. Unus-one; equus-horse: unique-one horse. See." And then he laughed.

TREATING OP THE COUNTY TRANSITION McGlcaru Case Has No Bearino on the Problem to Be Solved in Lackawanna. OPINION EXPRESSED BY JUDGE ST0WE President Judge of Allegheny Coun ty Who Tried the Fee-Salary Mat ter There Ten Years Ago Says That the Question of the Application of the Census Figures Wns Not Raised in the Allegheny County Case Be lieves That the Fee System Will Continue In Lackawanna Promi nent Pittsburg Attorney (Renders ft Lengthy Opinion on tho Matter at the Request of Scranton Tax payers. On November 17, Tho Tribune, In treating of the question of compensa tion for the county ofllcfals, made ref erence to the case of McClenry, appel lant, against the County of Allegheny, 1B3 Pa., as one of several In which de cisions were made by the Supreme court that would tend to show that the census figures are to apply to the time of the taking of the census, rather than to the time of the announcement. The Tribune's article read as follows: The plaintiff was sheriff of Allegheny county, lie was elected Nov. 4, 1800, and entered upon Mt duties the fliht Monday of January, 1801. The office had been recehlnc fees, but the sheriff's share of the fees wan lew than the amount of salary, 1.'),000 per aiimnii, which the act of 883 allowed for counties hasinif 11 popu lation of over 800,000. Acting on the awtimptloii that his county had more than 500,000 population, the .heiilf re frained from takinpr the fees, as had been the wont of his predecessors, but instead turned Ihem over to the county treasurer, and then made demand from the county coiniiil'"ioiiei, i.ionthly, for one-twelfth of the jearly saiai.v 11! flS,'o00. In .Inly, I'til, he brought .suit fur eteri months' Fcitoiy. While admitting the oflli e was a sah.tied one, tin- county denied tint the amount of the (.al ary w.i.. fled for Allesheny county by the act ci 1&-.1, but iiii-lcul, allcRcd that it was IKed by a .special act of U7.!, passed for Allegheny county befoie the adoption of the new con-,ti-tulinn. ny this special act the (.herifl'a icm pcnnallon was .i,000 and mileage. TUB MAIN QUESTION. The only question laisecl in the case i uhethrr the general act of 1SS.1 supersedes by implication (he special Allegheny net of 1572. The supreme (emit held lint it did, and decided that the lierllf v.as entitled tu the 'jl.l.lJOli saluv, in stead of a salary of r.0,000 and fees fo.- mileage, pimidinir it was shown that the l."i,O0li did not e.cecd the total amount ot fees collected by or for the sheiitf, a limitation ytosinbeu by the new constitution. It i, to be Interne! from the fact that the sheriff's suit was brought for sceti months' Falary, thit the census of the county wxs not an nounced until July, lSul. If this infeience is Collect, theie is no question but that the su preme court lias decided, at least, indirect'.?, that the census ilguies are to be applied to the lime c;i the census taking lather than to the time of the announcement. When we lccall how late the ani'ouncements of the 1M) tenvis veiv in calling, it is fair tn presume that Al legheny county's population was not announced until some time well along in Js'il, end piob alily somewhere about in Jul). While In Pittsburg I made Inquiries regarding this case and learned posi tively that the question of the time the census figures would apply did not en ter into it In any way. Tho Informa tion was gained from President Judge Stowe, of Allegheny county, who tried the case. The only question raised and the only one decided expressly or by Imputation, he said, was as to whether tho general law or special act should prevail. When asked for an opinion on the Lackawanna county difficulty Judge Stowe said that while ho probably ought not to give an opinion oft-handed on such a mooted proposition, he would permit himself to say that It seemed to him that we would have nothing boforo us till tln census was officially announced nnd that the figures could not be made retroactive. In other words the official population of Lack awanna county would not be deter mined until the official anonuncement came and that when It did come It would bo for the ten years between Its announcement and the announcement of the next census, FEES WILL CONTINUE. If this view of Judge Stowo prevails the new officials will be permitted to enjoy fees. An effort was tun do to secure an opinion on tho same matter from D. T. Watson, Pittsburg's celebrated bar rister, who, It will be remembered re cently declined a supremo court ap pointment, and who wns one of tho at torneys In the McCleary case, but ho was out of the city and would not re turn for several weeks. It was then learned unauthoritative ly, however, that a body of Lacka wanna county taxpayers had sought and secured a lengthy opinion from Mr, Watson on the compensation queatlon and that he advised them the nf w offi cials will have to accept salaries, Tho identity and purposes of the body Bon Sons and Chocolates The finest confections made we display today, Fresh re ceipts daily, Two specialties this Christmas: Fancy Bon Bons and Chocolates 35c; worth 50c Finest Bon Bons and Chocolates and glace fruits 50o; worth 8oc.

SECOND-CLASS CITY FINANCES An Idea of How They Spend Money In Pittsburg. Anent the second-class city discus sion, the following from the Commer cial Gazette, of Pittsburg, regarding that city's finances, may prove of in terest: Alt Increase of half a million dollars Is ex pected In the Twenties of the city for the nVal year of iM-'2. Ilili will be due to the enormous 'growth of the Miln itlmi of t.ixabtes as shown by Ihe triennial miiniit, estimates of which were published cscltuhety In the Commercial Gazelle jcslcrd.i). The receipts of the city for tho current fiscal )enr at 17 mills i.poii n taxable valuation of ?271, (100,000, were l,fit0,000. A tavible altia tlon of $.100,0eJ0,t)iM Is epecled by the city llnan clers, which wilt )leld ."i,100,000 at tho same tnlltagc. This means an lucieave In the revenues of V'lO, WKI for the enuliig )ear. An addition nf Inlf a million dollais to the revenues ot the city moms a wlele mil gin to work upon and gle blight prospects of a surpliM for next yrtr. These figures were furnished yesterday by Con tioller Lewis. The mlllage for next year will not be lived for n umple ot month, but the financiers at city hall hive decided thcic will doubtless be no change. Tirftsuipf David K, Toncnre said )esteiday that he thought the nillhgo would lenialu the same, and othcis in city hall evpresred the same opinion. Treasurer Torienca has hollowed ..100,()00 this month to meet the montlilr pay rolls of the city anil will have to borrow between WOO.WIO and $100,000 more during the net two months This Is $100,000 less than the oily boriowed I.iit year for the month of December, and was the first of the present )cir. fo stated Treasurer Torrence )esttiday. l'or jo.ns it has lr,en the custom of the city to commence honowing about the first of October, and one Jear it occurred as eurly as September. This .soar the city has bad enough funds to i nn its aflalre for ten months and, as published in the Commercial Os7elte a few dujs ago, Contiollcv Lewis expects to finish the jear with out n dellclt. lie expects to replace the bor iowed monev jiow due from the delinquent tax collectors office an I fiom the state on school wannnts. Treasurer Toiience a)s the city will get about $120,000 fiom the state, about S-')0,000 on delin quent taxes and some mute from miscellaneous sources, lie s.i)s the money being borrowed at Ihe picsent time Is lor the legular expenses of the city, consisting of salaries and bilks. The INe.il )ear of the city ends on Jan. .11, but the city Is compelled to continue to bonow elurlng the month ot r'ehru.iry, as the taxes of the next )ear aro not mailable before the first of March. Thus the money borrowed during Pcliru. ary is replaced na soon as the taxes begin to (low into tho city treasiny. The dehcit for the hscal )cai- of 1000-01. if there is any, will, theie for, consNt of the clifTeience in the receipts and expendituies dining the two months of Deceui bir and January.

Will Not Only Absorb All the Penn sylvania Coal Company's Mines, bjt Take a Long Lease on the Erie and Wyoming Valley Railroad and Operate It as One of Its Branches, Improvements Projocted by the Erie and Wyoming Not Liltely to Bo Halted. The main question Hint was remain ing unsolved yesterday In the PenusylJ' vnnla Coal company deal was as to how the, company's Interests would hereafter be maunged. From a source that can bo taken as being as good as official comes Infor mation on which can be based an an swer to that question, and the answer Is given In ono word Erie, Tho most generally accepted report up to yesterday wns that the company's property would be divided up and par celled out among three or four of the railroad companies In which the Mor gan people have largo Interests. yesterday's Information Is that tho Krle will not only take all the coal property, but also the Krle and Wyo ming Valley road. The road will bo operated as a branch of the Krle under a long term lea.se, and hereafter all the Pennsylvania Coal company's breakers and the Butler company's breakers, at PIttston, re cently acquired by the Krle, will send their output over that road to Ilawley and thence by way ot the Erie to tide water. Whether or not the Pennsylvania company will be merged with the 'Hill side Coal and Iron company or retain its Identity and bo managed as a sepa rate concern Is not as yet known, hut the general opinion Is that the two properties will be made Into one and placed under the management of the Erie's present coal department, the Hillside Coal and Iron company, of which Captain W. A. May Is general manager. Thu extensive Improvements project ed In anticipation of the extension ot tho Erie and Wyoming to tidewater will not. It Is thought, fie affected by the halt that has been called to the Delaware Valley ind Kingston road. Tho new shops at Dunmore, the en largement of yard facilities at Avoca and Wimmers atfd the strengthening and straightening of the roadway, were virtual necessities, with the new road loft out of consideration, so It is only plausible to suppose that when the new management comes to deal with this matter It will conclude "that the Improvements should go on undis turbed. The Krle In full control of the Krie and Wyoming will lnnure to the bene fit of Scranton, no doubt, as it means another large trunk line having en trance hero, and consequently more competition In traffic rates.
