The argument in the case of Davis against
the Union Pacific Railroad, before chief Jus
ticc Howe, Of the Wyoming Supreme Court,
was colcluded on Friday. The complainauts
alleged that tho directors and trustees of
the road by the device of making contract
with Oakes Ames for constructing, and the
same day having it assigned to themselves,
cleared $l0,C00,0O0, which they divided
among themselves in fraud of the rights of
the stockholders, and that the 'Credit
Mobilcr" was used to conceal the transaction.
Other Infamous transactions were also al
legged The defence admitted great irregu-
larities in the construction of the road, but
denied the Jurisdiction of the Court, and
claimed that the corporation was solvent.
The Judge rendered partial decision Satur-
day morning. He held that the Court had
Jurisdiction, that the defendant was respon-
sible and that the affairs of the Company
have been SO managed as to render 1t doubt
ful If 1t will be able to satisfy any judg.
ment for claimant. Owing to the vast inter-
est affected, the appointment of receiver
was delayed, to give defendants an opportu.
nifty to furnish satisfactory security in lieu
thereof. Ga SruIday afternoon it was
agreed that the defence deposit in lawful
money the amount claimed by plaintiff with
in thirty day as security for any judgment
the latter may obtain. The Court, there fore,
deferred judgm INT in the case.

For GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA, VIC OBJ
serve that number OF the prominent news
papers of that State, among them the Ger
mantown Telegraph and Chester Republi-
can, are urging Col. John W. Forney. The
former says, ian ADLER or better man, in
"every respect, could not be named, and the
latter adds that, "No man in our State is
"more deserving Of this high posi,iun--none
"would fill 1t with more honesty or ability"
All this is quite true, and Philadelphia has
not had a Governor of the State, for scores
and scores of years. If her politicians and
patriots would, for once, join hands, the
latter might have some chance of nomina-
ting Colonel Forney, and his good city,
might give Pennsylvania the Govern
or. Let Philadelphia be united and claim
the honor

The coal field on the West slope of the
Alleghenies, extending from the Mononga-
hela to the Big Sandy rivers, is by far the
largest, the richest, and is destined to be-
come the most valuable in the world. In
Europe, nearly oil the coal deposits lie far
beneath the general surface, and far below
water level. Deep shafts are sunk at i'm
mense cost, to reach them the mines are
then ventilatel an drained as they are being
worked, only after the most astonishing out
lays. On the Kanawha and collateral val
leys, the coal crops out of the hill sides in
veins from to l2 feet thick, far above water
level, and can be dumped into the cars by
the force of gravity, for merely nominal
needed. A few miles eastward of this i'm
mense store of coal, on the Eastern slope of
the Alleganies, are found inexhaustible de-
posits Of iron ores of the best qualities. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad now IN course
of construction from the navigable waters of
the James River, to the river navigation of
the Mississippi Valley, the greater part of
which is already in operation, crosses both
the iron fields and the coal fields, and unites
them to the seaboard on the one hand and
the Great West on the other. Nearly 1000
men are employed upon this great work, and
it will not be many months before the cars
will travel continuously from Memphis, ST.
Louis or Chicago, TO and from these great
iron ard coal deposits, and if need be, on
to the navigation of the Atlantic ut Rich
mond.
These natural advantages, together with
the encouraging rush of immigration now
finding its way to Virginia and West Virgil
mia, will give to those States vast wealth
and industry. The completion of the Ches-
peake and Ohio Railroad itself will set free
wonderful amount of latent power, and is
to rank as one of the most important works
Of Improvements now in progress.
The Loan of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, which is announced
elsewhere in our columns, by the we'll known
banking firm, Fisk u Hatch, of New York,
it will be seen is steadily absorbed for invest
mems. These bonds have several features
of convenience and security not hitherto
found combined. To all persons contempla-
ting Investments of capital, or the exchange
of securities, their remarks will be of special
interest.

TEMPERANCE MEETING. The City Hall on
Saturday evening was well filled with an appre-
ciative audience to hear Thomas NJ. Coleman of

The meeting was organized by calling Robert

the chair, who introduced to the audience Richard
Heritage, of the Temperance Blessing, of Phila-

audience on behalf Of the great cause which lay
nearest to bis heart He advised the formation
of Temperance Blessing in this place, and gave
very interesting account of the beneficial re-
suits Of such society in Philadelphia where dur
ing the last year 1900 persons OF intemperate
habits had taken the pledge land with but few
exceptions had kept 1t
The President then introduced Mr.. Coleman,
who in his usual eloquent manner made some
uDanswerable arguments in favor of total absl-
nencs, and the formation Of public opinion In
opposition to the traffic and use Of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage.
The habit at the City Hall of people coming in
and going out during the lecture annoyed Mr.. e..

THE NECESSITY OF RELIABILITY in business
affairs is well set forth by brief article
which we clip from a New York newspaper:
''Since young Thomas ran away with the
bonds of Gov. Morgan, which he took from
the hands of his clerk, people are ask
ing if it will do trust other men. An
exchange says: I'VE once heard VIII
liam e. Dodge, the merchant prince Of
New York, say that his firm had enough
out on trust all the time TO ruin them if men
should prove false. Wealso heard Mr.. Fisk,
Of Fisk g. Hatch, New York, say that they
had millions out on the mere word of mems
mouths, and that they could not do business
without trusting to the truthfulness and hoi =
or of men. Messrs. Brown Brothers, New
York bankers, will not have any negotiations
with any one whose word they cannot trust
as completely as if fortified by collateral
security"

The richest man of our town set up one
of his sons in the liquor business. A tenn
perance neighbor protested earnestly against
1t. The rich father said, "Why, he can
make a Thousand dollars year." No
matter" said the temperance neighbor, "he
may be ruined by it. In ten years the wife
of that rumseillng son died a drunkard,
leaving two motherless children. The rum
seller forged his fathers name, and at length
involved his father so much that the old
Elan failed, losing the earnings of his life.
The rumselling son died drunkard, and his
poor brother, too, died sot and the poor
old father, who was one Of tho moderate
drinkers, drinking enough to plant the seeds
Of ruin in his family, died too. And now,
all that are lett of that mans family, one of
the very first families of the town, are the
orphan grandchildren.
