DECISIONS AND VERDICTS FROM HIGH AND LOW TRIBUNALS. Lake Township Must Pay Heavy Dam age* fur Negligence—Hazle Townahlp School Director* Cleared—Burglar* Plead Guilty—Notes of a Local Flavor. In the decisions of the supreme court this week several important cases brought up from Luzerne county wore affirmed. Among them was that of Ke turah Ide against Lake township. Mrs. Ide brought suit to recover for the death of her husband, whose death was caused by the neglect of the township authori ties to remove an old engine boilor from the roadside, his horse having become frightened at it and ran away and killed him. The township contended that they neglected no duty, as they had a good road and the boiler was entirely outside of the roadway. The case was first tried before a hoard of auditors, who decided that Mrs. Ido had 110 cause for action. From this award she took an appeal to tho com mon pleas and the case was tried before a court and jury in January last and re sulted in a verdict in favor of Mrs. Ide for $5,500. This was considered a large verdict owing to the fact that her hus band was nearly seventy years old when killed. The township asked for a new trial, but was refused. It then carried the case to tho supreme court. The opinion filed this week confirms the lower court und the township will now have to pay. CANNOT REMOVE DIRECTORS. The most important opinion filed in court on Monday was that in the matter of the removal of the school directors of Ilazle township for alleged negligence in office, it being alleged that they failed to do their duty by the scholars or at tend to tho needs of the schools. In discussing the rule Judge Woodward stated that the facts about the inade quate water closots at the school building were simply disgraceful, but that this defect is now being remedied by new and proper closots being erected. He also stated that the second section of the act of June ft, 1803, stating that the courts of quarter session can remove school directors for negligence of their duties if reasonable cause be shown by no less than five roputable taxpayers, is un constitutional and void. The judge added that he was guided in this stop by the decision of the supreme court, which lias never been overruled or qualified. GALLAGHER TO LEAVE THE STATE. Denis Gallagher, the Wilkesbarro constable who recently threatened to assassinate Controller Lloyd and his clerks, pleaded guilty yesterday to three charges of carrying concealed weapons. A number of other indictments which grew out of the affair are also against him, but these wore the first taken up. Through an agreement with the prose cutors, sentence was suspended with tho understanding that Gallagher leave the stato and remain away. The other indictments of attempt to murder and surety will be pressed if tho constable aver returns. He will take his family with him and seek a homo elsewhere. MAY CHANGE COURT HOURS. The advisability of changing the pres ent rules of court was argued pro and con by several attorneys yesterday and the judges will render their decision on Saturday. Many of the attorneys want a continuous session of court from 10 to 3, but this does not appeal favorably to people who enjoy taking a ni*eal at mid day. By far the greater number of men who have business in court are those who want their dinners at noon, which privilege could not be granted tlitm when holding continuous sessions. SANDY RUN BURGLARS GUILTY. Thomas Flanagan, Alexander Delaney and Owen A. Laughton pleaded guilty on Monday to a charge of larceny pre ferred by Walter Leisenring, of Sandy Run. Tho prisoners are said to be tramps, and on the night of March 17 last broke Into the residonco of Mr. Leisenring and carried away clothing, jewelry and other articles to the value of S2OO. After hearing Mr. Lefsenring's testimony Judge Woodward remanded tho prisoners for sentence on Saturday. PARTNERSHIP CERTIFICATE FILED.

McMena tnin, all of Freeland, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining an opera house in Freeland, under the name, style and firm of Freeland Opera House Company, was filed In tho office of Pro thonotary Dasch on Monday. COURT NOTES. % Adam Peshta boasted in court that ho had twenty wives. Ho was on trial for enticing away a girl in the upper end of the county and the jury found him guilty. Judge Lynch fined him SIOO and tho costs and sen tenced him to serve six years at hard labor in the Eastern penitentiary. The supreme court has decided that j the act of assembly lovflng a tax on direct inheritances Is unconstitutional. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1599. Nearly G(X) cases bavo been tied up ponding the result of an appeal to the state's highest court. These estates can now bo distributed and will not be compelled to pay the tax. James and Joseph Bowon and George Rlehl, three young men accused of rob bing Ackerrnan's hoarding house at Hazleton, were acquitted of the charge yesterday.

The program of exercises was followed in the order announced in Monday's issue of the TKIBCNK, and the several addresses, essays and discussions of the ministers and delegates were re ceived with applause and cordial appre ciation by the audience. The election of officers for the ensu ing six months resulted as follows: President, George F. Hegel, Weissport; vice president, W. H. Ripple, Freeland; secretary, Miss Edith Kuntz, Freeland; treasurer, Charles Rohrig, Mauch Chunk. The delegates yesterday selected White Haven as the meeting place of the next convention, to be hold in Oc tober, 1899. The majority of the visitors returned home last evening.

Struck Itich Vein of Copper. Mt. Carinel lias been electrllied over the discovery of a long-sought-for miner al deposit which means much to a large amount of capital interested in that town and vicinity. After prospecting for many years and expending thousands of dollars in the same, Prospector Elijah Straw, of Mt. Carmel, on Saturday dis covered the outcropping of a rich vein of gray copper ore on a mountain locat ed about ten miles north, in Roaring creek, Columbia county. The vein is ten feet thick and lies between strata of red shale similar in formation to some of Colorado's most famous mines. The specimens of ore unearthed contained 50 per cent copper with about 7 per cent silver. The mountain on which the discovery was made Is five miles in length, and from surface indications is literally loaded with the ore. While the vein was unearthed on the 230-acre farm of David Uelwig, yet 2,000 other acres are under lease by the com pany engaged in its development. They will apply for a charter under the name of the Pennsylvania Metal Mining Com pany. Catarrh Cannot He Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Tho hope of finding a market in Europe for anthracite has been shatter ed. If. S. Fleming, secretary of the Coal Operators' Association, who went to Europe to make a thorough investi gation of the possibilities, says that it is impossible under tho existing conditions of ocean freights to compete with En glish companies for the European trade. The lecture on "Coal Formation,'' which J. Bennett Smith, of Kingston, was to have delivered last evening at the Mining and Mechanical Institute rooms, has been indefinitely postponed, owing to the death of Mr. Smith's wife, which occurred on Monday. The Jersey Central Company has adopted tho Brown system among the employes, says the Mauch Chunk Time*. Instead of a man being suspended he is given so many marks. If he receives a certain number of marks in three months he Is discharged. A rumor Is going the rounds to the effect that the Reading Railway Com pany Is contemplating running two vcstibuled trains between Buffalo, N. Y., and Philadelphia and New York city, to compete with tho Lehigh Valley Black Diamond express. A sample of the new pressed steel gondola was run over the coal branches of the Lehigh Valley Railroad this week. The car was found too large to pass under some of the breakers and changes will have to he made in these structures. Students from tho Montreal College of Mines are spending two weeks at Wilkes barro and familiarizing themselves with mining of anthracite coal. PERSONALITIES.
