which I know is a mistake,"
It iays to plant good seeds and we

Court Echoes.
I A case of vast importance, insofar as it
! effiHrts the duties of County Com mission-
i ers and Sheriffs in l'ennsylvania, ms-u
! jiieil the attention of the Court a greater
! part of Monday and yesterday. Judge
i irerr, of Butler county, presiding in the
alienee of Judge I.oigoiiccker.
The question involved arose from a
inisconceiitioii on the part of the County
Commissioners of Somerset as to their
authority, and iucid.:-ntly called forth a
judicial interpretation of certain sections
of tho (simplex Baker ballot law, Inch
were raised for the first time in the trial
of this case.
We have not time or space at this time
to give a history of the case, and must,
therefore, content ourselves for the pres
ent with a brief summary of the ques
tions InvolveiL
Judge Ureer held that the Act of As-
i sembly sjiecilied what should be pul-
lished and prescribed the form in which
it should Iks published, but leaves it to the
option ofthe Shcrilf whether it should
lie by posters in the several election dis
tricts r by publication in two or more
newspapers. He also held that the coun
ty commissioners had no more to say iu
regard to its publication or the sjiace it
should occupy than the man in the moon,
except as it effected, them as tax payors.
The case at issue was an action brought
against the County of Somerset by A. H.
Coffrolh, Jr., formerly projirietor of the
7eiovif, Tor fii..'it, after the County
Commissioners had arbitrarily refused
to jniy his bill for the publication of the
SherilPs several proclamations. On the
trial of the case the Commissioners, who
were represented by high-priced lawyers,
argued that the Sheriff w as subordinate to
the Commissioners and had exceeded his
authority in publishing the proclamation,
and therefore, the County w as not liable.
Judge tSreer ktnx-ked this argument into
smithereens, as appears above, and
said that unless the Commissioners could
chow that the Sheriff had failed to exer
cise jirojier care, or had resorted to fraud
or entered into a conspiracy, there was
nothing in the case. At tho same time
his Honor took occasion b jxiint out
what might be expected to follow in the
wake of this suit in case it was decided
in favor of the County. He said that not
a bridge could Ik? built, or piece of ub
lic property repaired or improved, unless
the door would Is? let open for some one
to come in and file objections and the
time of the court would lie tsviijiied al
most entirely in the trial of cases of this
character, whereas the law had clearly
defined the duties and resjxnibilities of
the various county officials. Iu charging
the jury his Honor directed them to cut
out of the proclamation all matter not
especially directed to ajqiear in it by the
Act of Assembly.
The jury was out long enough to meas
ure up tho different proclamations when
they returned a verdict in favor of the
plaiutiiT f;r SIi ;.'.'.
Messrs. CoflVoth A Rupjul, who a
peared for the plaintiff, had prepared
their case in their usual careful manner
and sucti Sif'.illy met and controverted
every proposition raised by the defend
ants counsel, tien. Cofl'roth's address to
the jury was eseci:dly hajqiy and aj
pcarcd to be greittly enjoyed by all who
heard it. Messrs. W. J. Baer and Koontz
A gle agiieared for the defendants.
The case attracted general attention and
w as the subject of conversation on the
ctreets ami at the hotels and stores. So
far as w e have lss?n able to gather public
sentiment it is a! most unanimous in fa
vor of the plaintiff and the verdict ofthe
jury is pronounced a righteous and just
one.
.
A case involving a nice legal projxsi
sition ami a considerable sum of money
attracted more than the usual amount of
attention last week.
The facts in the case are as fol
lows: James Corcoran, a resilient of
Clearfield county, Pa., t'k out and paid
up a sl:cy on hislifc, in favor of his wife
Frances, and their children, should she
die Uforc her ht.s!:and for in the
Mutual Idle Insurance Comjiaityof New
York. For a loan of fi-VO to W. H. Bill,
a resident of the same county, he gave
the jsilicy of insurance as collateral se
curity, his w ife joining iu the assignment
of the policy to Dill. Some time during
the year 1S4 Bill assigned the policy for
like value to the use of S. B. Pbils.ni, of
Meyersdale. In accordance with one of
the conditions printed in the policy,
Philson wrote the Insurance Company of
the assignment of the Corcoran policy by
the Corcorans to Bill and by Bill to him.
The Insurance company acknowledg
ed the receipt of Plii'son'seoiiiniunica
tioii and requested that in the future he
communicate with the Company through
their Philadelphia office. As will Ite
seen further along Philson's case rested
largely tiMn the directions furnished by
this Utter, which, like a prudent business
man, he carefully preserved Philson
forwarded the policy of insurance, to
which the assignment from Corcoran to
Bill and from Bill to himself were at
tached to a friend in Philadelphia with
the request that he exhibit the policy at
the Company's office in that city and as
certain if it were in correct shajie and
g;-t their directions. It was proven tin
the trial that the policy w as presented at
the Company's Philadelphia office, where
it Wis examined by one ofthe company's
empioyes, compared with the records and
pronounced all right and afterwards re
turned to the messenger. Early in li
Phil.Min learned by accident that Corcor
an, w ho had removed to the State of
Michigan, had been dead for eleven
months past, and shortly thereafter he
presented the jxdicy or insurance for pay
ment. Much to his surprise he learned
that the widow, Mrs. Corcoran, had al
ready secured the value of the policy, but
not until she had made some kind of
pr.xif that the policy had been either lost
or destroyed ami had given the comjtany
a loud or indemnity. Philson according
ly entered suit against the insurance
company f'r the amount of his claim,
&!,iMl.i, with interest from lSth The
makers ofthe policy being a mutual com
pany, and the insured in this ease, being
i:i reality a partner i:i the company's
business it was ckurly tysd,!(t.y b"notify
tlie general office of f,Vc tontftaiiy n New
York that tha' X)lic'y' had. betm aligned
to tho use of I till, ami Inter by Bill U the
use of Philson, and a duplicato copy of
tho assignments should havo been filed
in tho New York ofiiee, as required by
the conditions of tho policy. Messrs.
Kooser V Kooser, w ho rejirwtpnted Phil
son, set up the theory that tho insurance
company had waived this condition of
the policy when it directed Philson to
communicate with them through their
Philadelphia oftii. Tho case was sub
mitted to the jury on this w ith, many
other projKitions of law, with the result
that Philson was given a verdict for the
full amount of his claim. The insurant
company was represented iu court by ex
Judge Baer.
It is not improbable that prosecutions
will grow out of this case,
.
Judge Greer, who is holding court this
week in thealsenee of Judge Ixuigeneck
er, hails from Butler county. As seen on
the street he is one or tho last men the
casual observer would select for a pro
found jurist, but when he mounts the
licnch the illusion is immediately dis
pelled, and he stands forth every inch
the Judge. He decided all points raised
iu tho case tried before him Monday
and Tuesday promptly and in several in
stances before the attorneys hail conclud
ed their argument. IJis honor jiitroduo
ed a new featqre ip court Monday after
noon, w Uen at throe o'clock ho instructed
the jurors to retire for a period of live
minutes In order that they might catch a
breath of fresh air and Indulge in a drink
of fresh water.
Another hotly contested case in which
considerable ltxal iuterest was manifest
ed was an action brought by C C. Shrock
and B. B. Zimmerman, both well known
stock dealers of this county, against the
B. AO. U. Ii. Co., for Sno damages for
injuries toa car load of, twenty bcr.es,
caused by the negligence ard carelesa-
n sss of defendant company. The evidence
submitted went to show that the plaint
iffs had been directed to have tho horses
in a tar ready for shipment at a certain
hour in the day. The car was haded to
Rockwotsl, where it was permitted to
stand on a side-track by reasou or the
abtndouing of a train scheduled to pass
that jxiint at Ifc'W o'clock in the evening.
Next morning the car was removed to
Cumberland, ami after a short delay
there, to BriiiisA ick w here it wis again
side-tracked tor a long period. The car
was also delayed iiiineccssai iy in the city
of Baltimore and was finally delivered to
a connecting line at Wilmington, lH'L,
too late to be hauled to its destination on
the day or its arrival. Altogether the
horses were cn route sixty-one hours
whereas they should have been delivered
at their destination iu .TO hours according
to proofs of frequent former hauls of tho
defendant comiauy. It was zero weather
all the time the horses were in the car
and when they arrived at Chadd's F'ortl,
Chester county, the owners had to em
ploy a veterinary stirgoon to treat a
numlxT or them. All or the animals had
been albs-ted by the long exposure they
were subjected to and the owners suf
feYed great loss iu disposing of theiu.
The Railroad company refused all over
tures in the way of compromise aud the
verdict of the jury was Tor ?.VjO damages,
in favor or plaintiffs.
" "
Counsellor James E Pugh asked the
Court at one or last week's sessions to
issue a mandamus compelling the County
Commissioners to issue a warrant to the
County Treasurer for the full amount or
tho Slate personal projierty tax. The
Court awarded the mandamus. Mouday
the County Commissioners employed
A. C. HollH-rt aud sent him to Bedford
for the juirjxise of presenting a petition
to Judge Iiongeuecker praying him to
rescind his order, which a telegram
from Bedford to the County Treasurer,
received last night says was overruled.
Treasurer Pugh says that unless a war
rant is issued to-day ho will ask Tor an
attachment to bring tho commissioners
ltcfore the Court for eontemiit. The jxiint
involved was an attempt on tho part of
the Cominisioners to deprive the Treas
urer from receiving his commission on
the State tax, heretofore allowed with
out being questioned.
"
When court convener! ut 1:."K) o'chs-k
yesterday afteriKMin two jurors who were
sitting in the case on trial at the time fail
ed to apptar for at least fifteen minutes
after the Court Crier had convened the
session. As soon as the jurors hail re
sumed their seats iu the jury box. Judge
finer tailed njxin them to explain
their reasons for alisenting themselves.
The jurors said that they had lieeu unable
t.rocure their mid-day meal earlier,
whereiixui Lis Honor advised them to
change their Ixiarding house, remarking
at thesametiuie that the court cost the
county fH) dollars per h mr for every
hour it is in session and that the jurors
who had ab-sented themselves from at
tendance upon I'uo court for flftoen min
utes had cost the county ?7.50.
A prominent rosident or Meyersdale
was heard remark on the street last even
ing that if the affairs of tho county are
conducted during the current year in tho
same manner that they have lieen for
several years past it w ill I iietsessary for
the County Commissioners to levy a sje-
cial tax in order to defray tho exjiensc of
emjiloying additional counsel.

Attention Farmers.
Jkxxkus, Pa.. Jan. :, lsmi.
F'niTOR Hkkald:
I desire to call attention of the farmers
of Somerset county ami others, to the
program of tho Farmers' Institute pub
lished in your issue tif this week. The
subjects to lie discussed, it will lie seen.
are practical anil timely. Hon. lieorge j
T. Powell, or Columbia, Co., X. J., is
recognixetl as standing iu the front rauk
of farmers in the Kmpire State. He was
the first Birector of Institutes in his own
state, and has been engaged in this work
a large part of his time during the last
ten years. While his business has lieen
general farming, is specially fruit cul
ture. There is perhaps no man in this
ountry, who has made the subject of
fruit growing a closer study than he has
done, and as a result of his own success
iu this line he is regarded as tuitloriiy
upon this stibjec wherever he 13 known.
Hon. John' Hamilton, our Scat's Birecpir
of Institutes, fcja practical farmer as well
as i thorough scholar. Fur a. number of
jears ho was Prufttssor c$ Agrkitltu.re in
o,nr S,lato vMlego, and ho brings with
hint a fitUiJ or inftirmatiun obutlned lmth
by stud? and experiment that is rarely
equalled. Mr. Wots! ward has lieeu with
us at several ot our institutes, and his
ability at an institute worker is too well
known to need any continent. Xo farm
er who can arrange to be present can ar
ford to miss this meeting. Mr. Powell's
talks on fruit growing will help many
a one to solve the tpiestion how to mau
the farm pay. Mr. Haupltcut is iml on
ly a farmer bit n,J:sQ a county supervis
or, ,u4 one too that knows how to make
roads, as any one will believe who has
had the privilege of traveling over the
roads of his district. He can tell us how
to get good roads without mortgaging
townships, or increasing taxes to pay' an
army of engineers. Every one Interested
in good roads, and especially every su-
Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Rcj.ou
nFAr
p 1 i.-i'i in the 1. unity should Istar him.
Dr. Kotliruck, tlio SUtle Forestry Com
liiis.ii.ni r, is an interesting slid instruc
tive speaker and will pay you richly
for thp lime you take to hear him. Hon.
Thus. J. l'.life, S.sT-tary or Agrieiilttire,
will be present and ready to help in any
line of work in which he may lie mcdi-d.
All together the coming bislittitc prom
ises to be one ofthe mo.t interesting ever
held iu tito county. Rsmemlicr, ull the
exercises are free to everyliody.
Tho institute at RK-kwoid has lieeu
arranged on swiunt ofthe opportunity it
will afford to get the most that is fioMsihlo
out of the iiiHtrmors who come Ut us
while wo have them, as well as to enlarge
the opportunity of hearing vital questions
discussed by some of our own citizens.
Il is hoped that all w ho can, will ar
range to attend lmth meetings.
The B. .V.O. R. It. Co. w ill sell special
