This seems to bo warranted from tlio following quotation from tho opinion in tho Bhimcnthal cmo t "Whlio it is true, as was said in Rauden busch's case, 120 Pa. St., H28, that 'neither tho t pctltlouor nor any other person in tills stato has any property In tho right to sell liquors,' , yet it is also truo that when tho stato grant a license to a man for that purpose, tho latter acquires a prlviiego to sell liquors for a specl ' lied time, for which ho has paid tho Com i nionwealth a valuable consideration.

Much excitement prevailed, and it was not without somo causo, for tho creek? that, tako tlio overflows from tho dam and pass through tho First ward wero greatly swollen and rushed under tho bridges and past tho houses in roaring torrents. A visit to tho dam was enough to satisfy 10 that tho breastwork was in a very threatening condition. Its appearance indi cated that tho wator had undermined it, for the stouo facing on tho southslde of tlio breastwork had fallen to tho north and left a gap about thirty feet in length, and extend. lug from tho top to almost tho bottom. Tho north facing of tho breastwork seemed intact and was holding tho wator back at noon. But a small part of tho breastwork's top had fallen down, although It was badly cracked. Mr. S. D. Hess, superintendent of tho wator company, arrived from Pottsvillo at noon and hasto&cu to tho dam by carriage, After inspecting tho broak ho put a number of mou at work making water courses to tap tho resorvoir. When tho IIi:uald went to press tho citemcot had subsided considerably aud there was a general belief that tho crisis had passed. Tho dam aflectod covers an area of about four acres. ' Pooplo thronged to tho dam when tin reports of danger spread, among them being Eev. H. F. O'Beilly, who said ho did not think thoro would bo any great danger. Councilman Bcttcrldgo was also thoro and ho did not eeem to be alarmed. A gentleman who mado a full examination of the placo statod just beforo tho Herald went to press that there was no moro danger. Ho said that the break wa3 not really one to causo much alarm. It was simply a wash duo to tho rain beating on the outside of the breastwork aud was in no way caused by a pressure of tho water in tho reservoir. Tho wator company has a forco of 150 men at hand in case thoro should ho an extra ordinary rain to-night and extra water courses should bo required to relievo the strain on tho breastworks. Watchmen will also be kept on duty throughout tho night. None of tho water company officials seem to ho alarmed in tho least. In answer to all questions they say, "There is moro excite ment than is called for. Wo do not think the dam will give way." Ureat Interest 1m aian-tentcd Over the .Mutter. Tho election of Martin P.

Why should the Common Please decido whether the writ of tho Supreme Court supersedes its authority? When tlio Supremo Court of tho United States sent its writ to tho Supremo Court of Pennsylvania iu tho caso of tho Pennsylvania Itailroad Company vs. tho Com monwealth our Supromo Court declined to disjiosu of tho question whether procoss stayed, aud the parties wero given timo to apply to tho Supremo Court of tho United States for a supersedeas. Justico Woodward said, "I hold that tho question of jurisdiction nnd tho effect of theso writs of error aro ques tions for tho Supremo Court of tho United Stetoa. ' Justico Strong Said, "I concur with tho Chief Justico and Brother Thompson as to tho effect of the writs of error from tho Supreme Court of tho United States, and I think it is for that Court to onforco their own writs. ' If, howovcr, it will bo of any ad vantage to tho parties Interested hero to know our conclusion upon tho question presented aud tho reason therefor, they can have it. Tho granting of a licenso under tho law as it stood provious to tho present Act, was en tirely in tho discretion of the Court of Quar ter Sessions. In Baudenbusch s case, 120 Pa , St., 320, it is said In substance : tho granting or refusal of liconses under our present Act is a matter of legal discretion to bo oxercisod wisely and not arbitrarily; to perform this duty tho Court below mar hear petitions, remonstrances, or witnesses, and in some instances act of its own knowledge, and this Court will not review tho manner in which tion will be satisfactory, It is understood that all tho papers to bring tho matter officially before the atten tion of tho Stato Superintendent aro roady and will reach headquarters beforo tho closo of tho present week. The contesting parties claim that under tho law when one-fifth of tho membership of a School Board believes that an unqualified or incompetent person is elcctod to a super inteudency of schools that ono-fifth of tho membership may protest and tho State De partment will roquiro tho party elected to stand an examination beforo tho Stato Board of Examiners. It is said that thirty days must elapso beforo the commission can bo issued to Mr. Whltaker and that will afford ample time to arrange the examination.
