is a county license, to bo Issued by tho
County Treasurer This is what the author!
Mas at Harrisburg advised Hardwicko's
counsel.
Iu tbo Information mitilo by Mr. Strouse in
the suit before Justice loomoy against Hard
wicke it was stated that' Hardwicke was con.
uucnog an auction business without a
proper license" contrary to law. This
information, it is alleged, covers the legal
requirements, as Hardwicke had neither a
state or conntv llcensn.
M. M. Burks, Esq., as attorney for the pro
testing merchants, claims that Mr. Davis,
tbo County Treasurer, cannot issuo a license
to Hardwicke, for the reason that ho does
not come up to tho requirements and qualifi
cations imposed by the Act of Assembly in
the case of a person applying for an auction
eer's license.
Among other cases Mr. Burko has directed
the attention of tbo Couuty Treasurer to is
that of tho Commonwealth against Crawl, a
case that came before Judgo MoPherson at
Harrisburg, in which the defendant, an
auctioneer, was sentenced to a lino of $300
and costs. Also the case of the Common,
wealth against Morten, a Montour county
case, in which Presiding Judgo Morrow set
forth the law in bis charge to' tho Jury, and
in which the defendant was acquitted, but
directed to pay the costa.
It appears to bo a mooted question as to
whether Ihe Couuty Treasurer can Issue an
auctioneer's license. He must satisfy him
self, tho protesting merchants claim, that the
law warrants tho issuance of a license, and,
if it does, tho party applying is a "suitable
person" to have such license.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
Vrrdlct of Accidental Death ltemlrrrd In

Deputy Coroner J. J. Card In and a Jury
last night held an Inquest on tho death of
Adam Czeeiualis, of Kt IUipberry alley,
who died at the Miners' hospital from Injuries
received from n fall of coal at the Ellaiigownn
colliery. The Jury was composed of John T.
Leo, William Malcy, William Seager, Timo

Mine Inspector William Stein wis in at
tendance at the Inquest and stated that ho
bad been informed that the man was Injured
by teasou of the place in which bo was work
ing being insulujiontly timbered. Ho added
that, in the examination of witnesses he
wanted tho Deputy Coroner and witnesses to
become fully satisfied as to whether tho as
sertion was correct.
This statement led to au exhaustive in
quiry, during which special attention was
given to tbo question of timbering, but no
ovidenco could bo adduced to sustain tho
complaint. To the contrary, all the ovidenco
showed that the place was fully timbered 111
accordance with the law.
Inspector Stein further stated that his in
formant had said that ho was told the plaeo
was uot properly timbered by one of the men
who worked with the decease. All the wit
nesses examined on this point denied that
they had made any such statement to anyone.
The witnesses examined wero John Drown,
tho Inside foreman of tho colliery, William
Ilradley. tho tire how, Frank Soilski, the
contractor, Enoch Markiewiez, Anthony Tor-

AQAINST TRADES UNIONS.
Important Decision ofii reiiiiHyl vuuln
Juiluo Itf irnrdtuir Appi-ontlcon.
Pittsburg. Nov. 1. An important de
cision was handed down yesterday by
Judge White, of the county court.
against labor unions. The case was
one which caused a great deal of com
ment In labor circles all over the coun
try, C. Flaccus, a glass manufac
turer, of Tarentum, Pa., brought suit
against the officers of the American
Flint Glass Workers union to prevent
them from Inducing the apprentices
of tho plaintiff to Join the union. Tho
decision holds that the plalntill has a
right to operate his factory inde
pendently of the union, and that tho
defendants have no riglit to persuado
his apprentices to become members of
their organization.
Referring to alleged rules of trades
unions which prevent a young man
from learning a trade without the con-
Bent of the union, the Judgo says:
'Such rules and regulations of these
trade unions strike at the first prin
ciples of personal liberty In a free
country; they are oppressive" and ty
rannical; they are palpably unjust to
Individuals and dangerous to the peace
and good order of society.

Pateraon, N. J., Nov. 1. The follow
ing statement of the origin and de
velopment of the HlneM of Vice-President
Hobart is authorized by hi family
anu by tho physicians who have at
tended him:
'There arc several reasons why the
exact nature of the vice presldent
malady has been withheld from the
public. In the first place the family
have desired to reserve to Itself the
privilege of retaining such facts nt
were of a private nature, at the samp
time recoguUIng the right of the pub
lic to accurate Information In the case
of an invalid holding high public of
fice. Moreover, there were reaaoiu
connected with the vice president's
relations with the government which
prompted a similar policy. This wan
done, however, not for the purpose oi
secrecy, but to avoid embarrassment
In addition the effect of publicity upon
the vice president s health had to b.i
considered. He was n diligent reader
of the newspapers and It was observ
ed that the alarming reports which
crept Into the papers and there met the
vice president 8 eye had a most un
favorable effect.
'The Illness of tho vice president
may be said to date from the fall of
1898, prior to his return to Washing
ton Ih No ember. At that time his
physicians observed symptoms of em
barrassed resplrutlon. with frequent
attacks of angina pectoris. This con
dition responded readily to treatment
and when the vice president went to
Washington In the latter part of No
vember he was in good health. He
was making favorable progress until
in January he became a victim of the
grip. Following this there was a re
turn of the heart trouble, accompanied
with signs of degeneration. On the
last day of the session of the senate
the strain nnd excitement of deliver
ing the closing speech wore so great
that hp was on the verge of a col
lapse. "A few weeks after, toward the mid
dle of March, tho vice president and his
family went to Thomasvllle, Ga., to
visit Senator Hanna. The fatigue of
tho trip affected Mr. Hobart very un
favorably, and his condition waB fur
ther impaired by the Intense heat and
humidity then prevailing. As soon as
possible he was taken to Long Branch,
where progross toward recovery wab
not made at the rate that was antici
pated, and a trip to Lake Champlnln
hastened rather than retarded the
course of his disease. Since then his
system has not responded to the min
istrations of his physicians and the
critical condition of the last few days
has been the result.
'It Is apparent from this statement
that the vice president Is In no condi
tion to resume his political duties at
Washington. His family desires, there
fore, to announce that he will not re
turn to Washington, nor will he again
take part In public affairs. Hl3 con
dition today is such that a fatal result
may ensue at any moment, or his pres
ent condition may be Indefinitely pro
longed.
At midnight It was announced that
Vice President Hobart had passed a
very comfortable day. He has taken
an Interest in alf.ilrs, haB been very
cheerful und enjoyed a natural sleep.
He himself says that It was one of
best days he has passed In 'a week.
