Bakii Powder
is always uniform in strength and quality. The
last spoonful in the can is as good as the first. The
cheaply made powders work unevenly. If when
fresh they raise the biscuit or cake, before the can
is empty they make sour, soapy-tasted, heavy food,
and the flour, eggs and butter used are wasted.
This is because they are made from inferior
ingredients.

JURORS WERE
NWZEAL0US
Concluded fron Pass .1 J
ment lion ohMnnte erediito Is iufuil ami th
rule for a i.ew trill to nude absolute,
lty the Couit,
John P. Kelly, A. !.. J.
In the matter of the rule hecured by
Cornelius Smith, In the case of the
commonwealth against John T. Howe,
to set nsido tho finding of the grand
Juiy and telnstnto the case, Judge H.
M KdwutdH rendered an opinion set
ting forth that court has no authority
to do what the petitioner asks In the
lule, but taking it for granted that
the petitioner acted In good faith In
the prosecution, he dliects that the
co&ts be l emitted.
ONU OF SMITH'S OWN.
This Is another of Cornelius Smith's
"eenwUloiiH." Mr. Smith's wife had
some litigation before Alderman
Howe. A clerical error was made by
the alderman's clerk and he made an
Interlineation on tho docket to cor
rect It. This was made tho basis of a
charge of fraudulently altering a pub
llo record, but tho grand jury pcr
emptoilly dlhinlsscd the case at tho
cost of the prosecutor.
Because the alderman's clerk was
allowed to testify before the grand
Jury, Mr. Smith took steps to havo tho
finding of tho jury set aside, contend
ing that the jury in hearing the al
derman's cletk, heaid a witness for
tho defense. Incidentally, Mr. Smith
figuted It out that because Dlstilct At
torney Jones and Alderman Howe are
related by mairlage, thete was somo
collusion or underhand work to do
feat the case, and with his wonted
recklessness he pioceeded to Impugn
tho district attorney In open court.
This 1j what Judge Edwards has to
s.ty on the matter:
Wo iae no power to vt aside the finding of .1
Binml Jury, in any paitlnihr cue, etccpt ai
to tho rrmtlon of cwt. Nor can we leinstate
a case. Tho prosecutor may institute new pro-
LeeOJnpM, or the dUttict attormy may ulth leae
of tourt pici-cnl a nrw Indiitincnt to a stOwo
nurnt sr.ind July witbout i second binding over.
Ilut we cannot review the attlon of a grand
Jury 6i far us It reliln ti the merit of a
ci'C before them.
In the catc at bar the defendant, nn alderman,
was tlurped with the fraudulent altciatlon of
III, recoid. The alteration consisted In tho in
teillneatlon of the ud "not" In a finding as
to whethir a tenant was or was not a tenant
at will, tho letord on whlrh Judgment was en
tered recitlrs tliat the tenant was "a tenant
at will."
A second action for rent was brought before
another alderman. Tho tenant produced the al
derman' docket showing a recent intcrlineitlon
of tho word "not," thereby not only changing
entlrily tho character of the finding referred to,
but also Jeopardising tho plaintiff' right of re
dress In tho second action. The plaintiff there
upon, believing htiM'lf aggrieved proceeded
againt the defendant, charging him with tho
fiaiidulent alteration ot IiU record. The case
came before the grand Jury,

nry to product tlit alderman's docket Tht
alderman, being out of town attending . con
tention, the docket wi left In 'the custody of
hit clerk, who brought It to the grand Jury room,
and who was morn as a witness, all tht entries,
Including the Interlineation, being In his hand
writing. There was nothing Improper In this.
It was necessary to proe tho entries in order
to make any kind of a prima facie case. If the
clerk, as It Is Intimated, in answer to a question
by a grand Juror, explained that the Interlinea
tion was made to correct a clerical error, It is
not mirprlslng that the bill wis Ignored.
Nevertheless wc cannot oirlook thi fact that
prima facie the ptosecutrlT, in tho ibsenci of
any explanation by the defendant or IiU clerk,
presented a fair esse, and we know of no reason
why her good faltli should be Impugned. On
account of the allegations contained In the peti
tion reflecting upon th conduct of tho district
attorney, it Is proper tor us to state that there
is nothing In the ease to warrant suih a reflec
tion. Ills treatment of the rase was fair and
aboto suspicion. Apparently he exercised mora
than ordinary caution on account of hta rela
tionship by marriage to the defendant.
The rule so far as It relates to the finding ot
tho grand Jury en the question of coats is made
absolute and the costs aie remitted.
Judge Edwards dismissed nil the ex
ceptions filed by C. V. O'Malley and
the Olyphant Hewnge-Dralnage com
I any, to the eport of the viewers ot
the First sewer district of Olyphant,
and directed that tho teport be con
firmed. The rula to stiike off tho ap
peal of the Sevage-Dralnnge company
wot discharged.
The contention of Borough Solicitor
Frank M. Lynch that Mr. O'Malley
had no standing as an exceptant, be
cause ho did not own property alons
tlis line of the sewer, was held by
Judge Edwards to be good law. and on
this point lie ruled out the O'Malley
exceptions. The Sewnge-Dralnngo
company Is llkewlnc declared to havo
n' standing as an exceptant, but the
Judge says Its right to appeal, which
he allows to stand, Involves nn adju
dication of the main contention of tho
case, and he will dispose of It after
a full hearing.
CAUSE OF DIFFICULTY.
The difficulty grows out of the action
of the borough In proceeding tobulld
a municipal system of sowers, after
having given tho Sewnge-Dralnm?e
company a franchise to construct scw
ets on all tho boiough streets, and
permitted It to expend over $15,000 in
material and construction In carrying
out the rights of Its franchise.
Tho rule to show cause why tho de
fendant should not be permitted to file
an affidavit and ball and pay costs
In court to perfect an appeal, in the
caso of R. N. Stetler against tho Dela
ware anil Hudson company, was dis
charged by Judge Edwards, and tho
appeal stricken off.
In the case of Dr. C. H. Fisher
against Joseph P. Phillips nnd Esther
Phillips, his wife, Judge Edwards re
fuses to allow Judgment to stand
against tho wife's separate estate on
the ground that the basis of the claim,
medical services, was a necessity, and
even though tho services were or
dered by the wife, her estate cannot
be held liable unless she expressly
undertook to become liable. Tho find
ings of tho arbitrator, E. II. Shurt
leff, that Mrs. Phillips did not under
take to become liable and that tho
charges must stand against tho hus
band's estate, aro approved.
The petition of George Kellow to
open the judgment obtained against
him by the city of Scranton on a
sewer lien, on the strength of an al
legation that the assessment was Ir
regular In that his corner lot was
chnrgod with the sewer on two stteets,
while the properties on the other three
corners escaped with one assessment,
was denied by Judge Edwards on the
ground that the defendant neglected
to except to tho report of the viewers
or take an appeal until more than
six years after the report was con
firmed. Winter
