beius' the father of the fotir-month.s-ld

Tho defense is u. denial of the charge
and the allegation that Miss Whitting
ton is actuated -by spite because Fen

second child she has given birth to, and
that she was unduly intimate with a
number of young men in Ca.rbondo.lo
arid Wayne county during the period
sho llxcs as the times of her trans
gressions with Fenwiek.

Whittington lived as a servant during
Hio early part of 1000, said she saw her
servant come out of the room of

fhall comuieiice on the firM. day of June, llHW,
and the flit day ot .uirte of the year hi which

to print, publWi and distribute from time to
time bulletins and reports of the preliminary
and oilier results of tlie various invcligations
requited by this act." l!y fccllon ii1) of the
Mine act the dhctor of the census is authorized,
upon the uquest. of the governor of any slate
or tcnitory, or the chief oIKeer of any munici
pal eovernnicnt, to furnish certain information
therein proscribed, and, by the thlrty-llrst sec
tion, he is 'authorised to provide the census
olliec with a seal which shall be atll-ccd to all
certificates and attestations tli.it may be required
from tlie census otfice.
The announcement of the population of Lacka

and ISiii! iupn, or whether he .is confined to the
salaty ot M.ono incscribed for tlie district at

census is to bo rcsoited to as the best evidence
of the population of :i loutity in ca-e of class!
liralicn of counties by population.'
nn: oiTieiAL dtriDi:.
"Ill tl liuht of existing legislation, we liave
nn doubt but for ihe purposes of lassification
under the vaiious salary acts each county must
remain in the class in which tiio last census
found it, until i: U liansfencd to another il.i'.s
by n tiiiticQuriit eiius. Tlie United states de
cennial ceti'-us is the only oftirl.il dclcrinliiation
of population tlia. we now hae and the incon
Amieutc and injustice that would necessarily
urine liom acreptinc any unotlicUl guide to (ho
classification of counties; for salary puiposcs
lannot well be over-estimated."
In view ot tho law classifying counties or tlie
pinposes of thing salaries of their oflicials and
of the interpolation put thereon by the Supreme
couit in the cases above quoted, when docs a
county p.i.ss f i om cue class to another, and
what cletetmlncs its transfer? Is it the fact ot
the existence of its population, as asceitained
by the decennial census, or of tlie public an
nouncement of such a fact? The act of congicss
providing for tlie census enacts that the enumer
ation shall not only bo made, but shall bo taken,
by whit li we undcr.stand, Is to he determined
or held, that Is, that the county remains in the
class in which the last census found it until it
is transferred In another class by n .subsequent
remit. The census is Iho enumeration of tlie
population, lijt the announcement of tlie lesiilt.
This must necessarily be to from a variety of
consideration'.
The dale as ot which the cctwis is taken, must,
for all purposes, be the only fixed date for de
termining the population, although tho enumera
tion may not be made on that dale. So int.
poitant is the question that congress has said
that the date shall be tlxed as of June 1 of the
year in which the census is taken, although the
('numeration may not be completed for days
tlicrcaltcr, and although a easo can icadily bo
imagined in which a ic-count might bo desirablu
ami necessary ami tho announcement of the re
mit delajcd for months; but whenever taken
or however asccitalncd Ihe fact shall be deter
mined us of June 1. And why? Because, if it
weio not so, tlicro would bo endless confusion
and uncertainty and no uiilfutnilty.
SHOULD UK UNIFORM,
Theie ave.peiliaps.six or mora counties in Pcnn
ftlvanla having it population less than ti.V1.000 and
I'Mcciling l.V),000, although all ot them do not
pass from the ono class to the oilier under tho
present census. It is Important, from every con.
bideratlou, that there should be uniformity in
irgard In the salaries of the officers of these
counties. If, however, the contention of tlie
plaintiff picvails, the salaries ot the otHctali of a
portions of the-e counties might bo regulated
by tho provisions ct the act of lbTfi and the
remainder of the acts governing tho emolu
ments of their olrieeis passed prior thereto.
Tho aunouiKrmcnt of the fact is nibject to
m my conl iiigciiclcs. A re-count might bo nee-n-saiy.
The person charged wllli the compula
tion ol ll.o enumeration fiom the at Ions dis
tricts of any given county might be tcmiwrarily
Incapacitated in the disehaigo of that duty. The
county in question might be accidentally omit
ted from the announcement, cither In mikln;
up the Hit in the census office or in the trans
mission to the public pi ess. Any number of
contingencies will readily suggest themselves
which might neccsoJiily delay the announce
ment. The contention of tho pjalntlff is that, al
though the population of Lackawanna county
was, as a matter ol fact, on the first day ot
June, 19.1,SS1, inasmuch as the announcement c
the tact was not rnadtf until the nineteenth day
rf November, lfitM, a few dajs alter his election
as district attorney, he l, therefore, entitled
to the emoluments of Ms office under the acts
of assembly passed prior to 1570, rather than
under the salary act of that .tear. It Is not
alleged that the plaintiff did not know what
tho population nt Lackawanna county was at
the time of Ids election, but whether lie knew
it or not, was lie not bound by the fact as it
(Inn existed? M'e think beond question be
was. The enactment and publication ot our
Una furnishes a familiar illustration. All who
arc subject to the provisions of nn act ot as
sembly are. bound thereby from the dato of id
approval, irrespective of the dato ot publics,

WARNER'S SAID CURB CO.,
ROCHESTER, N. Y.
GENTLEMEN,-
You haven't asked niu for a testimonial state
ment; hut I tleslro to toll and to tlinnk you for what your
medicine did for us.
Two years ugo my wife took dlabelos. t consulted our
physician and be treated her two or three months without
any relief whatever then wo tried Ptfbllo Watering l'luocs
with no good result. Finally our druggist (W. T. Grogan) by
a great deal of persuasion got ua to try ono bottle of Warner's
Safe Diabetes Curo, when to my astonishment It relieved
my wife. Sho has used eight bottles and I think Is cured. I
consider It the b"sl medicine made."
Yours truly,
R. ,1. UOOl).
the oniecra elected at the Rime time had made
inquiry ol the census bureau and had ascertained
by an ollleiil declaration of tho director that
the population ot Lackawanna eounty wa",
011 the Hist of .lime, 11XX1, in excess of 150,000.
Others made no inquiry upon the subject ami
had no elellnitc information theioot until tlie
announcement A 'he nineteenth of November.
Would those who nnele inquiry be bound by the
fact and thoso who made no Inquiry nol be
bound thereby simply beeait-e they hut nut
made inquiry and had not been informed by a
Ecnil-otllcl.il publication? Surely tbeie could
have been and should be no difference. 11 can
lie: readily seen that tlie inconvenience and in
justice that, would necessarily atlso. from ac
cepting uny cfliola! guide or haphaz.11 el rule
:i to the classification of counties for salary
purposes, which the Supicmo court says cannot
well be over-estimated, would be equally great
if we were to accept the announcement of the
population under tho census rather than the
fact detetmlned thereby. The uncertainty would
be as great as the inconvenience and injustice.
To he logical, it seems to us, that -the plain
tit! must go a flep farther in his contention and
allege that not only the announcement, but
till, knowledge of the announcement, is necessary
in order to bind him. Why should he be bound
by the Announcement of the nineteenth of No
vembir of a. fact which existed as of the first
of June, if he never saw the announcement
which is not made by law tho evidence of tlie
fact? There: is nothing in tho net of rongicss
which makes such an announcement in any legal
sense official or binellng. 11 is presumably foe
the information of tlie public, but is not made
aiitboiitativc as a notice, so as to bind indi
viduals, nor is it made evideaice of anything for
any purpose. If lie is bound by anything but
the fict, his knowledge of it, and not the an
nouncement of. should govern. The absurdity of
such a proposition, lion ever, .is manifest upon
its lace.
TAKV. JUDICIAL NOT1CH.
Courts taka judicial notice of the results of a
census. Sec numerous authorities cited in llou
vicr'.s Law Dictionary, Itawlc's Itcvision, under
the head of "Census." Of what, is judicial no
tice to lie taken? Of the fact as its exists
Hirelv and nol of its announcement. When did
the fact, exist? The law says .Tunc 1, 1000, not
Nov. IP, when the announcement was mado
tlu'uugh tho ncwspapei.i. The alisiirdity of any
other rule becomes apparent from a very slight 1
consideration of the consequences-. Tho final
official publication of the census -of tlie United I
States will contain tho announcement of the
population of the several counties of this com
in.inuealth. Nothing therein contained will
piobably show the time at which the announce
ment if the ascertainment of the population
thereof was uiado public. How could this couit,
for example, lata judicial notice of the fact
thai the population of Lancaster county was
announced as of one date, of Montgomery county
as of another date, and of Lackawanna, county
as of 11 tliiid date; supposing, of course, that
the announcement of Uicsc several counties was
made at. different elites', which is entirely pos
sible. From every eoiwdiiation, it sccnis to us that
tho only icliablc uile and the only sale practice!
is to determine tin population of any given
eounty or municipality tor any puipo-c which
it is "necessary to determine it as of tho date
fixed by law tor its determination, without ref
erence "to the time at which the announcement
thereof, official or .cml-otficial, shall be made.
The assignments of error are, therefoic, sus
tained, the judgment of the court below is re
versed and judgment Is now- entered on the re
servcel point, non obstante veredicto, for tlie do

BIG TAX LEVY PROBABLE.
City's Revenue Likely to Be Cut
Down and Its Expenses Have
Increased Floating Debt.
Unless somo now sources of revenue
aro discovered and taken advantage of,
the city is likely to find Itself sorely
pinched for money next year, accord
ing to the calculations ot City Clerk
Iavelle, and tho veteran city clerk's
calculations arc, as a rule, not very
wide of the mark.
A new valuation cannot bo maelo
until lOtV!, Jlr. Lavollo says, and un
der tho new chnrtor the tax levy for
Koncrnl city purposes cannot exceed
ten mills tin the dollar of valuation.
While the valuation cannot bo raised
and the tax levy cannot bo increased
beyond the limit that, now obtains,
the assessments against second and
third class properties must bo reduced
one-fourth and one-half respectively,
and air. I.ayellu's figures indicate that
tho reduction In revenue resulting
from this will not bo less than $50,000.
Then again, ho figures that a. goodly
number of tho saloon keepers who
took out licenses this year did so with
tho expectation that half of the $1,100
would bo refunded, and when they
find that It Is not to be refunded nnd
that $1,100 Is a bigger fee than their
business warrants them In paying,
they will not renew their licenses. A
decrease of thl'ty In the number of
licenses would mean n reduction In
revenue amounting to $26,400,
Theso reductions will mean that Iho
city will bo doing well If It moctn Its
running expenses, without taking Into
account tho ttoms of outstandlUR
judgments, which must be cared for,
This amounts at present to I20S.T4S.1Q,
not subtracting (ho $19,000 worth of
judgments that aro to bo tnton up
this year, if tho appropriation ordi
nance goes through as it stands.
Under the third class city laws theso
judgments could be ignored and allow
ed to go over from year to year, to bo
finally wiped out by a bond Isstto.
Under the Muehlbronner act, tho city
Is called upon to meet Us Judgments
year by year, and if It cannot me-H
them out of the general fund It Is .
rectod that a special levy shall bo
made to clear them up. Tho following

ltucordci- Jlolr's solution of tho tlltll
cully Is to Impose special license: taxes
nn all manner of business not now
paying a. reasonable share of tho city's
expenses. Wo does not favor putting
any more tnx on the already heavily
taxed merchants, but he is bent nn
making the franchltia-lioldlng corpora
tions, like tbu trolley, electric lisht,
gns, water telephone and telegraph
companies, and the banks, insurance
companies, brokers and tho like, pay
their Just portion of the costs of main

it in other cities, the recorder says,
and there is no reason why they should
not do the same here.
INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
No New Developments in the Silk
Strike Yesterday The D., I,, &
W. Bonrd for Today.
. There -were few developments in
the silk mill strike situation ye?ster
day. A number of members of the
local executive committee went to
Pittston, and there held a brief con
ference with the Sterling mill's .strik
ing employes and hcaihiuarlurs were
deserted all day. Xo meetings wen
held in the central city, hut the Simp
son fnlll girls held a session at Mi
nookn. O. H, T-utz, one nf the special com
mittee, appointed by tho Central La
bor union to confer with the strikers'
executive committee, yesterday de
clared that he had heard a. man was
making the rounds of West Scrauton
representing himself as a member of
the carpenters' union and soliciting aid
for the silk mills girls. No one has
been authorized by the carpenters to
undertake any such mission, and Mr.
l.utz therefore cautions every ono
against the person who is doing the
soliciting.
