"The agreement toacheel between the

ed to an increase of $2.-,000,000 for
200,000 men, .secured at an expenditure
of ?.00.000, which Is n bigger dividend
than the Standard Oil company or tho
Morgan Hanking company ever paid.
At tho Apt II convention, at nn expen
diture of $."i,00O, concessions were
granted amounting to nn Increase of

FOR DEATH OF
SLATE PICKER
PARENTS ASK DAMAGES IN THE
SUM OF $10,000.
Scranton Conl Company Made De
fendant in a Trespass Suit by Mr.
nnd Mrs. Whltmore Jones, Whose
Boy, Daniel, Was Killed at the
Capouse Colliery, by Being
Crushed in the Breaker Machin
eryInjunction Case of Rnrrlck
vs. Wnrren-Ehret Company.
An action for $10,000 damages was
Instituted yesterday against the Scran
ton Coal company, by Whltemore Jones
and his wife, Kllznboth, whose boy,
Daniel, wa killed at the Capouse col
lleiy Jan. 7 last, by being dragged
Into the machinery of the breaker and
crushed to death.
The plaintiffs i (-present that the boy
was hired as a slate picker, but nfter
it time was put at cleaning the chains
which pass over the cogs propelling a
culm bclt-eiurveyor. This was a more
hazardous and danm-ious occupation
than thut for which he was engaged,
It is alleged, and on till account and
the further fact, as alleged, that the
boy was not properly Instructed as to
the dangei.s of the new work, the com
pany was guilty of negligence, and
consequently liable- for damages.
1. II. Hums anil O'llilen & Mai tin
represent the plaintiffs.
Alspaugh Against Reynolds.
Following Is the opinion of Judge
Kelly, disc lunging the nile for a new
ttlal In the much-disc ussed and com
plicated case of William Alspaugh
agalnt Nancy He nobis:
Thl Iri an action of ejectment
brought to lecovt-r a lot of land In the
I'ointh ward of the city of Scranton,
which ni.iy In- brielly described as lot
No. in In block 13, of the Swetlnnd
estate'. Fnmr the briefs of title llled
by the parties and the evidence, It
appears that Itetngo Alspaugh, the
father of the plaintiff, obtalneel the
equitable title to the lot in iUestion
fiom the- i-xecutors of William Swet
land by articles of agieeinent elated
Oct. i, INTO. Afterwards a Judgment
was le-covered against him by Howell
& Warnke to No. h'j, September Term,
1S73, In the Mnyor's court of Scranton,
upon which an execution was Issued
and his Inter eM sold to K. L Illggs
at Marshall's sale on May 22, 1S70. On
.Inly at) of the same year K. L. Illggs
obtained a deed fiom the oxe-outors of
the Swetl.ind estate conveying to him
this lot subject to the contract already
mentioned, and he thus became the
absolute owner of the land In fee On
Nov. 2. 1S77. K. L. ltlggS' conveyt-d hy
devil to Kilns Palmer, and the title
passed from Kilns Palmer by a deed,
111 the nper.it Inn of the Intestate law,
to the defendant
The plaintiff claims title under a
sheriff's sale of tin- lot. which took
place cm June 11, 1M. by virtue of n
lev. fa. Issued on a Judgment entered
on a sol. fa. and alias scl. fa. stir lax
lien enteied against K. L. Kiggs for
city anil school taxes avsos-eel against
tho property for the years 1S77. 1S7S
and 1S7H. At tills sheriff's sale the
property was pur chased by ono J. W.
Maloney, and the title which he ac
quired by irlue of It, by divers con
veyances, etc, bie-aine vested in the
plaintiff, wlio now seeks to tecover
upon the stri-ngth of It. Plaintiff and
elefeiidant claim under a common
teouicc of title and the case must turn
upon the elfei t to be given to the
sheriff's Mile to Maloney In ISM.
For the purpose of determining this
question we will assume that the taxes
were assessed against the lot for the
years 177, 1S7S and 1S70. In the name
of K L. Itlggs; that none of them
wore eer- paid; that a municipal lien
was ilulv entered, that a scire faelaa
wan regularly Issued, returned sered
by posting a copy of the wilt upon
the luenilses. nnd nihil as to K. L.
Kiggs; nn alias sol. fa. Issued, le
luined sitved in the same mnnner:
judgment against K. L. Kiggs for want
of appe.iianeo, etc ; that a writ of
l-v. fa. was duly Issued, and the
property was regularly sold at sher
iff's sale to J. W. Maloney, to whom
a deed regulaily acknowledged In open
couit was delivered. Prima facie this
slier Iff V sale would convey a good
title, and the plaintiff would be enti
tled to lecover.
The defendant, however, ullrg. that
notwithstanding all this, the sheriff s
sale was void and of no effect be
cause the same lot was nssos.-.cd to
il-e-oige Alspaugh for city and school
taxes for the same years, nnd that the
taxes so assessed wen- paid by her
pievlous to the filing of the tax lien,
and the proceedings tun upon It In
other words, that there was a eloublp
assessment, one ngalnst K. L. Klggs
and one against (ieorge Alspaugh. anel
that Inning paid the taxes assessed
ngnlntct the latter all the proceedings
for the I'olleetlon of other taxes as
sosmmI were Illegal and void. Certain
evidence was admitted at the trial, at
the Instance of tho defendant, for the
purpose of showing that the same lot
was assessed to (ieorge Alspaugh for
the same years, and the taxes paid,
and the question was submitted to
the Jury with Instructions th.it If they
so found, the verdict should be for
the defendant.
After levlewlng the proceedings at
the trial we are satisfied that nn ertor
was committed in the admission of the
evidence, and that there was sufllclont
to sustain the tlndlng of the jury Nor
have we been pcisuaded that our ml
Ing nt the trial that tho assessment
of the property to Alspaugh and the
payment of the taxes so assessed
would vitiate the subsequent proceed
ings for the collection of the taxes to
Klggs was erroneous. A municipality
has tho right to assos nil lands with
in Its boundaries for the payment of
Its taxes, but It has no right to col
lect moie than one tax for any one
year. I'nder the laws all taxation
must be equal, and no municipality
has the light to collect double taxes
from one lot of land while nn adjoin
ing lot Is only subjected to the pay
ment of hut a single tax.
The design of the numerous acts of
nMombly with lofeienee to the collec
tion of tnxe Is to enfoice payment,
nnd when payment Is made nil that
the legislature Intended has been ac
complished. Pelaney vs. Gait, 30 Pa.
68. The Jury having found that the
property in question In this case was
nssesseel to George Alspaugh for the
same years that It was assessed to
K. L. Klggs (upon what we regard as
competent nnd suMle-lont evidence, ns
already states) It would be contrary to
common sense and good ennt-eionce to
hold that either the city or the K-hnol
distilct could afterwards legally pro
ceed to collect other taxes for the name
yearn upon the same pinperty.
Judge Pearson said, In the case of
Kanck, et al, vs. Coal Co., 1 Pears.
40. "Another objection Is also talsed
to this Half. The defendants say that
they llleel a description of their land
In tho commlsslnneiH' olllce, ns re
quired by the act of 180fl; that the
samo wan taxed regularly In their
warrante-e nnnio for each and all the
years when It was taxed to Alexander
Osburne & "o. thwt they
rould not suppose that tho land waa
doubly taxed In the name of Shafer
nnd of Osborne, If they had shown
that they had paid the tax In the
name of Shafer, that would have been
suillclent to dlschurEc the territory

n,Foiprl, It mutters not In -whose
mime." , ,
TIip principle Is laid down In Black
on Tax Title. 2nd Id., sec 0h, that.
"Imd hnvlnp been nsewcl for the
fame year to two different persons', !
one of whom the taxes were paid, tho
state ncciulies no title by a forfelttne
for non-payment of taxes levied on the
other assessment, and ran transfer
none, although the unpaid taxes weie
nswFocd aualnst the holder of the
record title, and the person by whom
the taxes were paid had no record title,
and was not in fact the owner."
Tho plaintiff contend that Jhe JucIk
inent on the sol. fa. Is conclusive upon
the defendant; that een If the taxes
for which Judgment ws entered had
In fact been paid It would not bo com.
petent to net up that fact In this pro.
feeding. This would be undoubtedly
true If the defendant had been a party
to tho proceedings on the tcl, fa. fad
mus vs. JackKin. rr.' Pa. 304. Hut the
defendant was not a party to these
proceedings; she was not trved eith
er nctually or constructively, but wa
nn entire stranger to them. I'nder
such circumstance ihe has tho right
to Interpose her defense in this action
under the authority of Delaney vs.
Halt, supra, and the authorities died
by Mr. Justice Strong In that caee.
And now, 12th August. 1001. the title
