Where Was the Sale Made?
The State Supreme Court, sitting at
PitUhargh, Monday, handed down a dc
einion reversing the Court of Mercer coun
ty in the Fleming liquor caae and discharg
ing the defendant The opinion of a ma
jority of the Judges is that the sale was
made in Allegheny county, while the dis
senting opinion of three of the Judges is
thnt it was made in Mercer county. Jus
tice Green said:
•In the case of Gabracht vs. the Com
monwealth, which was an indictment for
M ;-ng liquor without license, we held that
ttf place of sale is the point at which goods
ordered or purchased are set apart and de
livered to the purchaser or to a common
carrier, who, for the purpose of dclivcnr,
represent* him. In that case the order for
for the liquor was solicited and obtained by
■ jctVnaanta in the county of Mercer.
V. :-was sent to his principal, who was a
li, r dealer in the county of Erie. The
order was executed liy the principal, who.
in the county of Erie at his place of busi
m separated or set apart from his gen
era! clock the liquor ordered, and delivered
it to a common carrier to be forwarded to
it- destination in Mercer county. We de
ci.led that this was no violation of the law
prohibiting sales without license, although
neither the defendant, who was a traveling
nt. nor his principal held any license
for the sale of liquor in Mercer county. In
the c&rie now under consideration the
liquor was sold upon orders sent by mail by
the nnrchaaer*. living in Mercer county, to
the defendant, who is a wholesale liquor
dealer in Allegheny connty. The goods
were net apart at the defendant's place of
br.-inesa in Allegheny county and there de
livered to a common carrier, consigned to
the purchaser at his address in Mercer
connty. and by the carrier transported to
Mercer connty and there delivered to the
pun haaer. who paid the expense of trans
portation. Tpon thesa facts alone the de
cision of this court in the case of Gabracht
supra i* directly and distinctly applicable j
and requires us to reverse the judgment of
the conrt below unless there are other facts
in the case which distinguish it from the
ra«- of Uabracht.'"
As to the legal and criminal inference
that the sale was made in Mercer and not
In Allegheny connty the Court says:
■ This reasoning ignores certain facts
which require consideration. The orders
were cent bv the purchasers in Mercer
county by mail to the seller in Allegheny
county, and in the orders the purchaser re
qn. -ted the defendant to send the goods C.
t». 1». The purchaser, for his own con
venience. requests the seller to send him
the goods with authority in the carrier to
receive the money for them. This method
of payment is the choice of the purchaser
nidef such an order, and it is beyond ques
tion that, so far as the purchaser is con
cenj.il, the carrier ia his agent for the re
ceipt and transmission of the money. Of
conr-e. if the seller were himself delivering
the roods in parcels upon condition that on
delivery of the last parcel the price of the
whole should be paid, it would be a fraud
011 the «eller if the purchaser, after getting
all the parcels, should refuse to perform
the condition upon which he obtained
them. And under such circumstances the
aaller would be entitled to recover the
Cwls. In the case under consideration so
as the seller is concerned he is satisfied
to take the responsibility of the carrier for
th<- price, in place of that of the seller.
He authorizes the purchaser absolutely to
pav the price to the carrier, and if he docs
ao undoubtedly the purchaser is relieved of
all p-ponribihty for the price, whether the
carrier ever pave the seller or not. But
the carrier is also authorized to deliver the
r ds. If he does so and receives the price
is. of course, liable for it to the seller,
but he is equally liable tor the price if he
chooses to deliver the goods without re
ceiving the price. The discretion embodied
in the letter* C. 0. D. placed upon a pack
age committed to a carrier is an order to
the carrier to collect the money for the
package at the time of its delivery. It is
a part of the undertaking of the carrier, a
violation of which imposes upon the car
rier the obligation to pay the price of the
article delivered. It is at once apparent
that when a seller has delivered the goods
to a carrier with the instructions to collect
the price on delivery to the purchaser he
has performed his whole duty.
••Thus far we have regarded the trans
actions between the parties in its aspect as
* civil contract only, but when viewed in
its aspect as a source of criminal prosecu
tion the transaction becomes much more
ele.tr from donbt It is manifest that when
the purchaser ordered the goods to be sent
to him C. 0. D. he constituted the carrier
his agent both to receive the goods from
the seller and to transmit the price to the
aeller. When, therefore, the goods were
delivered to the carrier at Pittsburgh lor
the pnrpoae of transportation the dnty of
the seller waa performed and the trans
action waa completed between the seller
and purehaaer. To convert this entirely
innoc ent and purely civil transaction re
■sec ting the mode of collecting the price
of the good* into a crime is, iu our judg
ment, a grave perversion of the criminal
law to which we cannot assent. As a mat
ter of course there is an utter absence of
any criminal intent in the case. Tho de
fendant had a license, the sale was made at
his piac« of busines and both the sale and
delivery were completed within the terri
tory covered by the license. If now a
criminal character ia to be given to the
transaction it must be done by means of a
technical interference that the title did not
ya>s until the money was paid, and thus
that the place of sale, which in point of
hit was in Allegheny connty, was changed
to Mercer county, where no sale was made.
8o far as the criminal law ia concerned it
ia only an actual sale without license that
ia prohibited. But there was no such sale,
because all the eaaential facts which con
atitutc the sale transpired in Allegheny
county, where the defendant's license was
operated. "We therefore hold that the sales
marie by the defendant upon orders C. 0.
D.. received from the purchasers, were not
in violation of the criminal statute against
aalcs without license, aud the sentence in
tb«- court below must be set aside. The
judgment lrom the Court of Quarter Scs
aons of Mercer county is reversed, and the
defendant is discharged."
Justices Williams, Clark and McCollum
filed a dissenting opinion, holding that the
aanding of the goods C. 0. D. made the
carrier his agent, and the transaction,'
taken on principal and authority, was a
aalc and delivery in Mercer county and not
at Pittsburgh. The Justices hold that in
ahippmg the goods Fleming did not know
whether he was selling to a minor, a habit
ual drunkard or a lunatic. The law re
quires that he should know to whom he is
Belling. Uc has no right to break faith
with the law and to retail liquor iu small
pa- .ages without knowing 'the age, habit,
aaoity or condition of the purchaser when
the -ate is consummated.

BUTLER COUNTY'S VOTE.
Pennsylvania did splendidly on its State
ticket Tuesday, and Boyer's majority will
be in the neighborhood of 60,000.
In Ohio, Governor Foraker was running
for a third term, and that and the jealousy
of other prominent Republicans may hare
defeated him.
In lowa, local causes have probably de
feated our candidate for Governor.
In Virginia Mahone was unable to pre
vail against Bourbon methods.
In Maryland the fusion movement was
not strong enough to overthrow the Gor
man machine.
In New York tho Democrats claim their
State ticket, but the Legislature will re
main Republican.
In New Jersey tho Democrats claim the
election of their candidate for Governor
and a majority of the Legislature.

ticket as follows: Tho latest corrected re
turns from all parts of the States show a
slightly increased plurality for Henry R.
Boyer over the last estimates yesterday
morning. Tho latent figures place his plu
rality at 63,231, which will doubtless bo
increased when the final estimate is made.
The Prohibition vote is not completo and

THE LOCAL ELECTION.
The Republicans have carried the county
by about 700, but our candidate for District
Attorney has been defeated by the small
majority of 63. Mr. Reiber, the Demo

they made a tremendous effort for him dur
ing the last few days ot the canvass, and
on election day had rigs hauling people to
the polls all day. This, with some absurd
11th hour reports and the overconfidenco
of some Republicans and apathy of others,
has resulted in Moore's defeat.

The cows of Berks and Lehigh counties
are dying of a peculiar disease which baf
fles medical skill. When cows are attack
ed their n><lk at once begins to dry up and
what there is, is unfit for use, tbe udder
becomes cracked and sore, small veecicles
form in the mouth and tnnizle, and there
is a watery discharge from the month and
ears. After a little time the outer cover
ings falls off the muzzle. A great many
young calves have died from lack of nour
ishment und through taking the milk from
diseased mothers. In some places whole
herds are suffering and the production of
whole dairies has been stopped. Dr. Cle
ver thinks that if prompt measures are
taken and the herds already affected are
quarantined the progresss of the disease
may be chocked.
A funny sight was witnessed at the Un
ion Station, Pittsburg, the other day. A
party of Hungarians came into the station,
one of whom bad purchased a suit of

who hauled the goods from the Clark street

O.N'F. American girl has just married a
prince, and auother one, who was to have
followed the example, has had the cere
mony deferred for a time. The curious
thing is that these matches appear to have
been arranged ou a purely financial basis

tion of settlements with a frankness and a
freedom hitherto reserved for the family
circle.
THE Supreme Court of lowa has affirmed
several features of the prohibitory law of
that State, including the right of the State
to confiscate breweries and other property
without process of law. The case is ex
pected to go to the United States Supreme
Court and if the decision is confirmed there
it will lie a great triumph for the prohibi
tion cause.
TIIK decision of the Supreme Court in

made in Pittsburg, as soon as tbe goods
were shipped; and the minority declare the
carrier to be the agent of the seller in a
c. o. u. sale, and that the sale was made in
Mercer.
