The Sterrlck Creek colliery at Peck vllle will be Idle for several days on account of one of their small mine engines getting on a rampage and run ning away, wrecking Itself and two other engines with which It collided In its wild lllght. The engine was standing at the breaker at about 6 o'llock yesterday morning. Steam was up but there was no one on the engine at the time. Suddenly It stalled and was soon running at a rapid rate. The en gine ran about a quarter of a mile and then enteied the mines. About a mile fiom the entrance another engine was standing. The two engines came together with a crash, badly damaging both. In some manner, the reverse lever became released by the collision and the runaway engine, which was not derailed, began at once to back up and ran to the bieaker ngaln, collid ing with another engine, which was also disabled. The runaway was de railed nnd employes, who were trying to catch the engine during Its wild tllght, wore able to shut off the steam. HAD A SEVERE STORM.

It Has Boon Boforo the Courts for Thirteen Tears, and Sovoral of Its Late'ral Issues Havo Boon to tho Bupromo- Court Transactions In volved in the Suit Cover a Poriod of Thirty Years Property in Dis pute Is Part of the Griffin Tract. Othor Court Matters. In an elaborate opinion, filed yester day morning, President .ludgo II. M. Kdwardfl decides In favor of tho plaintiffs In the famous $125,000 equity suit of A. D. Ocan, trustee et al. against n. M. Wlntnn et nl. The opinion covers fourty-four type wrlten pages and, as may be Judged, represents many hours of laborious ef fort, dealing as It does with a seeming ly unending sejicei of complications and Involving every knotty question that arises In the law of trusteeship. The parties to the suit are hells' of several of the oldest families of this region. The plaintiff Is the tiustee for the holra of p. S. Dean, and represents the Interest In the trust estate which at first vested In Isaac Dean. Two of the original defendants, V. V. Win ton and his wife, Catherine "Wlnton nro now dead. Tho estate of the former Is repiesentcd by 11. M. Wlnton ad ministrator, and the estate of of tho latter by It. M. Wlnton nnd Walter W. Wlnton, sin vhing cxecutom. The other defendants aie the Wlnton Coal company, which leased the property In dlsp,ute! the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad company, and tho IClk Hill Coal and Iron compnny which aie mining coal from tho larger portion of the tract and paying royalties theic on. The propci ty Is known as tho P. C. Orlflln tract, contains about fifty acres, and Is located mainly in tho Second ward, of this city, near tho old Tripp homestead.- It was purchased In 1871, thiity years ago, for $96,000. A fourth Inlet est in It Is now held at about $100,000. The present suit Involves a fourth Interest nnd a claim on another fourth. FURHCASEn BY WINTON. . Tho purchase in 1871, was made by A. H. Wlnton from 10. S. Osborne, trustee, nnd four days later, the pur chaser com eyed It to his father, W. W. Wlnton. 'The latter, with Isaac Dean, Joseph Church and Thomas Llvey, paid the puichase money. Wln ton took title and later gives the other three, declarations of tiust. Wlnton undertook the management of the property, leae-lng tho coal and selling the surface. In 1877 he bought out the Church one-fourth lnteicst at sheriff's sale. Dean had loaned money to Church and held a claim against the Church Intercut. The Church heirs went Into court, some years ago with a claim that Wln ton bought In the Church quaiter as trustee for Church and not for him self. They held that AVInton was for bidden to buy the property for him self by the law which declares that ho trustee shall be permitted to pioflt by his trust. The Supicme court, last year, decided that Inasmuch as nearly twenty years had elapsed fiom the lime of the sheilff's sale to the bringing of tho suit, the plaintiffs were guilty of laches, not having used due diligence In the prosecution of their claim, nnd consequently not entitled to iccover. The supreme court however did not touch upon the question of Dean's ln teicst In the- Church estate, and .ludgo Kduards was called upon to deal with It In this case. He decides that the Dean hclln have a good claim on tho Chinch one-fourth. DKAX CLAIM IS OOOD. In 1S77, Catheilne AVInton buys nt sheriff's sale, her husbands one-fourth, and the Church one-fourth, which her husband had purchased at the other sheilff's sale. Judge Edwards declares that while she (secured the Church one fourth free from the claim of the Church heirs, the Dean claim on the Church one-fourth Is still impressed upon It, although It has passed to this other party, Catherine AVInton, and t-he or her executors must account for the pioceods fiom tho Church estate to the extent of the Dean claim against that one-fourth, ns well as for tho Dean one-fourth for which her predecessor was trustee. The Judge only makes an Intel locu tary decree, as to who shall account. The accounting Is to be had later. The stipicmo court, and If tho decision Is not disturbed the accounting between the parties will bo made by the couit or a master, according to tho findings of Judge Edwnrds. It may be years yet before the cabo Is finally disposed of. The opinion l wiltten with nn eye to the convenience of those who will have to mako excessive use of it. Each phnse of tho case Is treated under a separate heading and the various ranil llcatlons being each accoided a sub heading. In his Introduction Judge Edwards says: "Soino of tho mnttois Involved In this case havo been before our courts, In ono form or another for seveial years. The case Itself was In stituted over thirteen years ago, and the transactions covered by the evid ence extend over a period of thirty years. The parties themselves aio to blame for the delay. Tho case should have been pressed to a final hearing dining the lifetime of the persons most Immediately concerned In tho Issues. This would havo saved much trouble nnd would havo avoided several com plications. But It Is my duty to take the record ns It Is now before me, made up of the pleadings and the evidence, and dispose of the questions In dispute. As to the nnture of the bill, It Is sufficient to state that It seeks to compel an accounting for tho proceeds of trust property." After reviewing tho history of the case and answering tho leque.sts for findings of fact, the Judge proceeds In to the following discussion stating the proposition of law first and following It with his conclusions: 1, W. W, Wlnton was a trustee for Isaac pfan tindtr the rlnlaratlon of trust ol May 1, 172. Winion'i Iceal rrprtsfnlatlte Is tiouncl In A Pleasurable Duty. Possibly you have need of a bank.

The People's Bank. law to account to the plaintiff for the T)ran liare of the fromils of the tritdt propfrty which ame Into the hands of Wlnton. Cuunsrl on lioth ol'tfs hate dlscussnl at length the question of resulting trtwt arising from the pajment of one-fourth of the punhise money tiy Isaac Dean at the time the property was purchased. I do not consider this question now of any Importance. The trust wai tedmed to writing ami this Instrument is sufficient to hold Wlnton to the fullest measure of rcspon nihility as a Irmtre. 2. W. W. Wlnton held the one-fourth share of Joseph Chiinh In trust, not only for Church, but for the lieneflt of Isaac Pean and through him, of the plaintiff, to the estent of the In dealittdness of Churih lo Isaao Dean as act forlh In the Chinch declaration of trust ol Notemher 1, 1S7I, nnd the agreement between Dean ami Winton of September 1, Wl, and a like accounting Is due the plaintiff, ol the pro. cecds of the Church quarter. IMlcndant's: counsel strenuously object to any finding which Imposes n trust on Wlnton i to Mio I'hurrli Interest after the sheriff's site ol September f. IS77, by tthlth Wlnton became the owner of thla Interest. They il.iim lint this Is fTprosly decided In the tae nt 'uiiclt s. Wlnton, f Pa. 107, and that Wlntui held the Church one-fourth clear of all trust, I do not to understand this decision. kmyxoti: ov nmsiov. The kejnote lo this decision Is the Inexcus able laches of Church and the Church heirs, but this should not conclude the rights of Isaac Dean and bis reprrnlatltes. Dean has not been guilty of laches. The dechrallon of 1S71 to Church was in part for the benefit ol Dein. It Is so written In the Instrument. Again, the claim of Dean on the Churih Interest Is ex pressly rcLognlml and affirmed by Wlnton In the agreement of September 12, 1177, between Dean titid Wlnton an agreement inneirnlng the scry fherlrTs sale by which Winton acquired the Church Interest free, as la contended, from any trust. I Inow of no reason why this agree ment should not be considered as a supplement ary trust writing touching the same property, and biscd upon sufficient consideration. It was so considered by Wlnton himself. Nor do I see any inconsistent- in holding with the supreme toiirt tint on lucount of lihes the Church equity has been deslrojed and still hold that Dean's equity should be prolectcd. 3. The account of the administration of the tni't property by W. W. Winton In accord nice with the first finding of liw- should cotcr the period beginning with the purchase of the property in 1S71, and ending with h! death, to wit: December 30, lfi'jl. The account referred to in the second llndlng of law should cover a like period. The duly of staling this account dcolvet primarily upon P. M. Wlnton, admin istrator cum tesyimenlo annevo of W. W. Wln ton. It will be neceasary for tho court through it'etf, or a master, In a futthcr hearing of this case lo take evidence fiom all sources from ulilth such evidence may te obtained as to the account mentioned, and as to other account ings herein deirccd, so that the trmtactloni between the parties miy be correctly ascertained and stated. It Is the duty of the personal representative of a deceased trustee to account for his ancestors Ililrd's Appeal. 3 W. k S. IJ9. While the title to the land descends to the heir-at-law as a general rule, the heir as such is not bound to ac count, cjpeeiilly In a tiut of the character ol the one now under consideration. I am sur prised that no application was mule to the court to appoint a successor to the trust after Vinton's deitli. Tills may be done in Pennsyf. vanii. A pontile explanitlon Is that the ccstiila que trustcnt hate for some scars been receiving their shire of the proiecils of the trust prop erty directly instead of through a trustee or other person of a rppreentatle ilnracler. There is some ctidence to this effect. It would proh ablv sated some (Amplications to hate had such .i trustee appointed. NOT A THUSTKi:. I. Catherine Wlnton was not a trustee under either of the declarations of trust, the one to Isaac De.in, or the one to Joseph Church. 'Hie plaintiff claims tint beiause In the dee lir.ttions of trust "W. V. Wlnton and Cath erine, his wife, rlit hereby certify and declare that they hold in trust the one tinditided oiie-fnuith," the wife is therefore a cotrustee with her husband. Cilherine Wlnton bid no title whiteter to the trust property. In the ak-tnee of cjjdcnce we might surmise that it was thought necessary to hate her Join in the declarations so as to bir her dower. But this would only be a surmise, 'ihe mere ftit of her joining her huslnnd In the exomtion of the pipers is clearly insutllilint to make her a trustee. There is no ctldenie that the had an thing to do with the administralion ur management of the trust property from 171 to 1P-7, a period of sixteen ear, oxicptlng that she Joined her luishtnd in tho come.tance of lots, wbleh is provided for In the declarations and excepting the further fait tint in IKI she became a member of tho Winton Coal Compiny, Limited, owning the majority of the stock, to whkh company a large part of the trut prop erly was (onte.tnl in Issx Hating no estate In the land and parllclpilinz in no way for many jears. except as stated, in the control of the property, she was not a co-trustee with her hu-hind. Considerable stress Is laid by the plaintiff upon the recital in the deed to Mary Uross. in whli h sCatherlne Vinton describes her self as "Mirtlting trustee." This deed was mide in January, l'0j, less thin a month after her husband's detth. I enrndder this recital a trifling circumstance and miy hate been made by the sirltmer as a mittcr of precaution. Whiteter the reason was, the fact that she de. scribed herself as a "mrtiting trustee" did not make her one In law. The trust was created bv a deed in 1171 (or Church, and in 1"2 for Dean. Nothing ooeurrred until January, 1577 to bring Catherine Winton into connection with the trust. I therefore cannot flecteo an accounting by C.ithoilue Winton through her legal repre-aeiilititr- for the period covering the dates July. IsTI, to Januarv, ls7. 'I hat he had knowledge of the trust from the beginning Is ieond question, but tint i.i another matter to lie considcicd in the next finding of law. liilCI!W:n AT HIKIIIt'K'S !m:. 5. Catherine Winton hating purchased the Church tinditided one-fourth of the trust prop erty at sherltl'a stle in January, 17, on an dilution against her huband, he hating pur chased it at .i sheriff's nlo In fccplcmbcr, 1577, and the said Catherine Wlnton hating notice and knowledge of the terms of the declaration of trust of Notemher 1, 1!"J, in fator ol Church, and more particularly ol Hie tenefleial interest of Isiac Pean therein! and she further hating collected ro.taltles from coal, a ptrt of whlih belonged to the Church quirtrr and having sold setertl 6urftco lots and hating collected the purcine price, tne piainiiu li entitlecito an ac counting for all mone received by her on tho Church interest to the extent ol the Indibtcdiiess of Joseph Churih to Isaac IK'.in, and a decree should be made dliectlng the evecutois of Catherine Wlnlon to aciount anordingly. I hate no doubt that this finding of law Is the ono most m rloiisl.c contioterted by the repre. cntatltca of the Catherine Winton estate, be cause it means tint tho Church tinditided fourth of the trust property Is Impressed with a trust in fator of the De.in claim until the Indebtedness of Churih to Isaac Dean Is fully paid. The position of tho defense Is that when W. W. Winton bought the Church interest at sherifl'a sale In September, 1S77, he tiought it clear, not only of the Church equity, but of every otlur equity, nnd that Catherine Winton In 18S7, like wise acquired tho title unburdened wjih any prior claim or trust. I cannot artlrm this con tention. I hate already stated that Catherine Winton was not a co-trustee with her husband by reason of her Joining in the execution ol tlm declarations ol trust to Church and Dean, but that the acquired the Church interet In JF57 with full knowledge of Dean'i claim can not be successfully disputed. The express; terms of the Church deelaratlon signed by Iter charge her with inch knowledge, II there were nothing else In the case, and the recital In the Orosi deed made twenty-lour yean afterward, fuither confirms this conclusion. There li no difficulty with tho law on this question. It Is well settled, coNSTRUcrrivi: tiu'sth. Writers on trusts hate divided and luh ditldeil the tarlout klmU with tine nnd elabor ate distinctions. The class known as construc tive tiusta Is extensively discussed In the text books. Ccntructltc trusts arise in different ua, vU., font the wrongful appropriation or conversion Into a different form of tho property of another!

The trust In Catheilne Wlnton as lo the Churih Inlire.t belongs lo the last mentioned class. Let It be said here tint there Is no question (Continued on Page 7.1 GLASS FELL FROM WINDOW INJURED SIRS.

The piece which stiuck Mrs. Sllkman on the head was likely a large one as It tore her hat from her head al though It was held by a pin. A good sized piece, too, must have struck tht boy on the head for It cut nn Irregular three Inch gash through to the skull. Tho cut ho le celved on the hand was about two Inches long.
