Important Decision Guldin and Comrey
Win. Their Suit Other Inter

Boforo tho court yostorday a potitlon of
bondholders of Minorsvillo Coal Company,
praying for tho appointment of Frank
"Wernor as trustoo was presontod, vice
Jacob Lawronce, docoasod. Tho P. & B.
owns 815,000 worth of tho bonds and 'ho
rost of the petitioners own bonds which,
with tho P. & R., amount to 541,000. The
court granted the prayor of the petitioners.
The bonds wore issued when the company
built tho Minersville furnace and which
has einco been torn down.
BONDS ArPHOVED.
A petition for tho salo of tho real ostate
of lionry Madgeburg, deceased, was also
Mod yesterday, and an order grantod for
tho sumo. Deceased fell from a scaffold in
Ashland, and received injuries from the
ellects of which ho diod. lie left a widow
and one child. A bond in tho sum of
(3,000 was approvod. The administrator is
Frod Gronzo.
The bond of W. J. Dailoy, treasuror of
tho borough of Girardvillo, in ?16,000, with
Margaret Dooloy, B. McCabo, Tat. Mc
Olinn, J as. Donahoo, P. F. Haley, Mary
Haley, Michael Horan, was approved.
Bond of Henry Millor, treasurer of
East Union, in 5,000, with John A.
HauckandJ. O. Bichonderfer, was ap
proved.
DECISION REVERSED.
The caso of Coroner Guldin and Sherifl
Comroy, arguod at tho February tortn of
Supremo Court, was decided finally by that
body. Both cases are reversed and the
facts aro as follows :
These two cases involvod the question of
tho fees under tho act of 18C8. Tho con
stitution providos that all counties having
over 160.000 population should bo classified
and all officials and their deputies shall bo
paid by salaries. Tho constitution also
provides that neither the term nor the
emoluments of an officer shall bo increased
or diminished during his term of office.
In January, 1891, it was ascertained that
the DODulation of Schuylkill counly was
151,000, or at least was so cortificd by Su
perintendent Porter, of tho Census Bureau.
Guldin had sorved but one year in office
when it was ascertained aa to tho census.
Tho Commissioners, by and under instruc
tions of their solicitor, refused to account
under tho fee bill of 'C8. Under the fee
bill of '08 tho Coroner's offico is one of tho
bost paying offices in tho county. Under
the act of 1876 ho is paid but 5500 per year,
Guldin brought suit for his pay undor tho
feo bill of 'C8. Tho decision of the court
below in a written opinion by Judge
Pershing, decided against Guldin, and for
tho county. This meant a Iobs of 55,000 to
57,000 for the last two years of his term,
Sheriff Comrey who had served two years
of his term, retusod to como under tho act
of 1876, and the county proceeded by man
damus to compel him to come under tbo
act. Both cases wero bitterly fought in tho
court below and tho court following tho do
cisioti made in tho Guldin caso, issued t
mandamus against Comrey. Comroy and
Guldin carried their cases to tho Supreme
Court.
Tho matter became a question of stato
importanco and county officials in other
counties asked to bo pormitted to be heard
in tho Comroy and Guldin casos. This led
to Goorgo 'W. Johnson, loader of tho Phil
adelphia Bar, and Honry M. Palmer,
loader of tho Wilkes-Barro Bar, taking
part in tho argument in the Supremo Court.
This decision affects District Attorney
Koch also.
RATHER BE RELIEVED.
C. E. Breckons, Esq,, informed tho court
yesterday that one of the murderers of
Officer Mergethad securod tho services of
Messrs. J. W. Whitehouso and D. O.
Uonning, and as the threo prisonors wero
jointly indicted, ho was of tho opinion that
himself and Fergus G. Farquhar, Esq.,
who had been appointed by court, should
be roliovod of the task of defending them.'
Judgo PerBhing said ho would givo tho
mattor his attention and made no order.
JURYMAN BENT TO JAIL.
Honry Johnson, of Girardville, will
hardly bo placed in tho jury wheol again.
Yostorday, morning during court ho made
considerable noise by loud talking and big
blowing in general. Judge Bechtel com
manded him to ba brought before him. Ho
was so full that it was with difficulty thut
ho mado his way boforo his honor. "Whoro
did you got tho whiskoy?" was asked him
by tho judgo. Ho managed to mumble
something about not getting any whiskey
at all, but it was plainly evident that his
tonguo hadbocomo so thick from the effects
of it that ho was unablo to bo understood
intelligently, and his honor directed tho
sheriff to givo bim a cell in Fort Martin.

PASSING OF THE WHITEFISH.
The Most Dcllcnto of Vrrsli Water Fish
DUnppenrlnfr Through Illpgnl Netting.
"Ycnr after year, and for manyycars,
tho fish commissions of all tho states
bordering' on tho great lakes have free
ly stocked theso waters with, whitcflsh,
nnd yet year by year tho catch of white
fish diminishes," said a prominent buyer
nnd shipper of lake fish. "Whcro do tho
whitcflsh go? It isn't a difficult ques
tion to answer. Thcro is no doubt that
the efforts of tho commissions in stock
ing tho lake with whitcflsh nro eminent
ly successful, as far as tho experiments
themselves aro concerned. Tho young
fish thrive and grow even beyond tho
expectations of fish culturists. Hut tho
experiments with whitcflsh propagation
liavo also proved that whitcflsh are ex
ceptionally tender. They hug closely
the shores of tho lakes, unlike most of
the fishes of the lakes. Tho water thcro
is shallow and warm. This important
fact in tho nature of whitcflsh was
known to tho native fishermen long be
fore tho scientists began to investigate.
These shallow reaches of the lakes have
been for years unnumbered, and are
still level with tho trap nets that tho
observant fisherman uses. These nets,
like tho eel weirs of tho rivers, nro no
respecters of fish as to size, and tho
half-grown whitcflsh aro caught by
them In as great numbers as tho full
grown fish are.
"The half-grown whitcflsh aro not
marketable, but that docs not deter the
fisherman in talcing them. They aro
thrown back into tho lake, but, being
dead, that does not help them any.
Every mllo of shoro between Buffalo
and Chicago, one might truly say, has
its thousands and thousands of young
whitcflsh destroyed in this way every
year. That is tho reason why the sup
ply of this most delicate of fresh water
food fishes is diminishing Instead of In
creasing every year, in spito of the cost
ly annual restocking of tho lakes.
Thero is law enough to prevent this
wanton destruction of whitcflsh, but if
it is not enforced better in tho future
than it is now, people will ask in vain
at the markets for whlteflsh when the
twentieth century comes in." N. Y.
