OBITUARY.
Hon. Thomas A. Marshall.

Hon. Thomas A. Marshall.
Judge Thomas A. Marshall of Kentucky. who
died few days ago, was born in Woodford
county, Kentucky, January Is, 1894. He re-
ceived the best education the schools of Ken
lucky could afford, and had for his school,
mates John j. Crittenden and other distin-
guished Kentuckians. He went to Yale College
and graduated with high honors in 1915, and
Immediately upon his return home he devoted
himself to the study of law. In 1918 he re-
moved to Paris, Bourbon county, where he re-
sided until 1881, when he was elected to Con-
gress. Previous to this, however, he had served
in the State Legislature with much ability. At
the time of his election to Congress
he was the recognized leader of
the Wing party in Kentucky, and
in 1888 he was reelected after a fierce contest
with member of his own party, the Democrats
having declined to make any nomination. On
the 18th of March, 1885, Mr.. Marshall was COM
missioned by acting Governor James T. More
head, Judge of the Court of Appeals. The
Legislature confirmed the nomination, and
he took his seat upon the Appellate
bench on the first Monday in April,
1885. In 1S47 he was appointed Chief Justice,
position which he held until the adoption of
the new Constitution in 1851, when he was
chosen by his district Appellate Judge,
aHu NY tuc PONloiOuS VI tuc constitution ne De-
came Chief Justice in 1854 In 1856 his term
expired, and Hon. Alvin Duvall, Democrat,
was elected to succeed him.
In 1886 Judge Marshall removed from Paris to
Lexington, and shortly after he was appointed
"a professor in the Transylvania Law School, the
high reputation of which he did much to main
tain. In 1S49 Judge Msrshall found the duties
of his professorsbip interfering with his judicial
obligations, and he was compelled to resign.
Having no resources but his profession, he
removed to Frankfort in 1857 and obtained an
extensive practice before the Court of Appeals.
In 1859 he removed to Louisville, and in 1868 he
was elected to the Legislature from one of the
city districts. He was chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, and as such principally distinguished
himself by his resistance to the authority of the
Federal Government. In 1866 Judge Marshall
was again appointed to the Appellate bench and
served for six months. In the same year he
was a candidate for the Legislature, but was de-
feated. Judge Marshall was highly respected
by men of all parties, and as Judge his record
is unimpeachable.

The argument of Franklin B. Gowen, ESQ,
before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate
of Pennsylvania, which is published in to-
days TELEGRAPH, furnishes an able and in
teresting presentment of the views enter
tanned on the coal question by the railroad
companies. The magnitude of the interests
they have at stake and the extent of the in
jury they suffer from protracted suspensions
are very forcibly indicated by his statement
that the Reading Railroad Company alone has
three hundred locomotives, twenty thousand
coal cars, twelve hundred miles of single
track, canal one hundred and eight miles
long, force employed of twelve thousand
men, and carrying capacity equal to one
hundred and eighty thousand tons of coal per
week

JUDGE PIERCE has granted an injunction, to
continue for five days, to restrain the Thir-
teenth and Fifteenth Streets Passenger Rail
way Company from laying tracks upon Broad
street, and there can scarcely be doubt that
the injunction will be made permanent. The
presumed right of the company named to
take possession of a portion of Broad
street is based upon the flimsiest pre-
texts and in the face of the act of Legislature
declaring that Broad street shall be kept free
from all railroad tracks and appropriated
solely to the purpose of public drive, it is
impossible that the courts will sanction this
invasion of the rights of the citizens of Phi
ladelphia. 1t is the undoubted wish of the
people of this city that Broad street shall be
preserved asa drive and promenade, and it is
the duty of the municipal authorities to resist
by every means in their power any attempt
on the part of either individuals or corpora
tions to lay tracks or otherwise mar our great
theroughfare.

VERY SERIOUS disagreements and differ
ences of opinion between the coal operators
and miners have been developed at the Board
of Arbitration now in session at Mauch
Chunk, and in addition to the troubles pecu-
liar to the region the staple questions that
arise in nearly all conflicts between labor and
capital are coming up for consideration. One
thing. at least, ought to be settled in the coal
regions-that no set of miners have a right,
by threats and violence, to prevent other
miners from working if they wish to do so.

THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

The State House of Representatives yester-
day reconsidered the vote by which the House
of Correction bill was defeated, and after an
Intellectual attempt to strike out the sixteenth
section, which imposes tax of fifty dollars in
addition to the licenses now charged upon
every vendor of spirituous or malt liquors in
the city of Philadelphia, it passed by a vote
of 81 yeas to 81 nays. 1t is impossible to
tell what may be the fate of the bill in the
Senate, even if any action whatever is taken
upon it. The principal Legislative objection
to it has been the sixteenth section, which
the House finally concluded to approve of;
but as the 'liquor vote" is very largely Demo
cratic, it is not at all certain that the Demo-
cratic Senate will agree with the House,
In strict justice the entire proceeds
from liquor licenses ought to go into the city
instead of into the State treasury, and if the
Legislature would consent to this there would
be no necessity for the imposition of an addi-
tional annual tax of fifty dollars upon the
liquor dealers. 1t is an undeniable fact that
vast maj jority of the vagrants for whose
benefit the House of Correction will be ope-
rated are the victims of alcohol and it is only
proper that the burden of the support of such
an establishment should be borne by the
liquor trade rather than by society at large.
The additional fifty-dollar tax imposed by the
bill passed yesterday, if it is strictly
enforced, will, it is estimated, yield about
100000 per annum, which, if it does not
support the House of Correction, will at least
prevent it from being burdensome to the
city. The Philadelphia Senators are we'll
aware of the great necessity for a properly
conducted House of Correction, and we hope
sincerely that they will show little regard
for the interests of the city by endeavcring
to secure for the bin, as it left the House.

PROBATIONARY CHURCH MEMBER
SHIP

PROBATIONARY CHURCH MEMBER
SHIP.
THERE is one point connected with the trou-
bles at st. Clements Church that has not, ss
far as we are aware, attracted the attention
of the press We refer to the novel voting
qualification of that church, viz, two years
membership. We have not the slightest de-
sire to meddle with the management of st.
Clements, but in view of recent events this
has become a rather important subject 1t is
not denied we believe, that if the actual
members of the church had been allowed to
vote at the election last week, the new vestry
ticket would have been elected by majority
of three to one over the board now in Office.
That is admitted; and, being so, simple kind
of folks are asking each other if it can be
called fair election-that is, one that ex-
presses the exact sense of the body con-
cerned ? When told that the two-year rule is
a law of st. Clements (not, be it understood,
a canon of the Episcopal church,, these good
people rejoin that it is a more than questiona-
BILE law and should be repealed; and that is very
much our own opinion. 1t is an unjust law.
The object of naturalization, which may be
cited as a similar provision, is to fit the rude
emigrant, unaccustomed to republican life,
for the responsibilities of citizenship; but no
such apprenticeship is necessary in the
Church, and more especially among Episco-
palians, widely noted for their intelligence
and culture. The person who is drawn to
unite himself with that Church is one, it is
safe to say, to whom the ballot may be surely
entrusted, and to hamper such one with
qualifications as to how or when his vote
shall be used, is humiliating and oppressive.
The law, further, is as trying on the
pastor and the interests of the Church
as it is upon the individual men,
Der. Two years, it must be remembered,
is rather long period to live in one
section. A great proportion of citizens prefer
to move that frequently, and by change to
have the benefits of diverse residence. If
they move to any distance they of course
change their church. The effect of all this
is self-evident Take case. A solid, clear
headed man, one who has a real interest in
church affairs, moves into any district it
may be st. Clements or it may be any other.
This gentleman would be prize in
the church government; he would be jewel
OF vestryman, or, apart from that, his voice,
advice, and help in spiritual and temporal af-
fairs might be of the utmost moment But this
material all lies fallow for two years, and
at the end of that time, where may our
desirable friend be? If not cover the Noun
tains of the Moon, the chances are that he
will be at the other end of the city, and that
amounts to the same thing as far as regards
ohurch-going This is, in fact, downright
practical question. If probation be at all
required-and it is far from clear that any is
necessary-six months would surely be enough
to satisfy any reasonable scruple whether or
no the new member was fitted to exercise the
franchise. Any further delay we cannot help
regarding as kind of insult to his zeal and
intelligence.

WHILE an immense number of unjust
claims against the Government are presented
and too frequently paid, it is unworthy of
great nation that n P. Trist, the successful
negotiator of the treaty with Mexico, should
have been deprived; through partisan malice,
for long series of years, of the compensation
he honestly earned as a diplomatist; and we
are glad that the lower house of Congress
yesterday showed disposition to render him
tardy Justice.

The Tammany Frauds.

New York, so. The World says that the
cutlery of the leader against Tilden's appre.
hended domination over the democratic State
convention is quite unnecessary. The State
committee has control ever the action of the
convention when its members are once as
sembled. The World believes that the con-
vention must take some pronounced action
on the charges mac de against Tammany lead
ers. Tilden has no power and we believe no
wish to gag the convention or control its ac-
ton by other means than arguments.

sales of real estate, saying he supposed some
reporter wanted to get at the real estate
transactions of the ring, and he would allow
no one to obtain surrepttious information
from his office. When the return of papers
was demanded Connolly said he had burned
them. He subsequently admitted the pos
session but did not give them up. Warrants
for asearch of the registers Office and for the
arrest of Connolly have been issued.

Disastrous Fire.

Chicago, 80. A destructive fire broke out
this afternoon in an immense brick building
between the Chicago, Burlington Quincy
Railroad track and 10th street, known as the
Burlington Warehouse; one part of which
was used for the storage of merchandise, and
the other portion as government bonded
warehouse. In the first department were
goods belonging to nearly POO firms, valued
100000, which were all destroyed, while
in the bonded department there were goods
worth 100000 all of which escaped injury
by reason of the thick fire wall On the
goods destroyed there is on aggregate in
surance of 100000. 1t is impossible to OBJ
tain the names of the sufferers, or of the in
surance companies. The fire was first dis
covered in large lot of broom corn in the
central portion of the building, belonging to
Abortion & Bird. Fire extinguishers were
Immediately brought to bear upon it but failed
to arrest its progress, and before the arrival
of steamers the flames burst with terrible
fury in every direction. The building was
owned by S. NJ. McKerson, president of the
first national bank; his loss is $4,000, which
is covered by insurance. Charles Stevens, a
truck driver was burned to death, and it is
feared three other men also persisted in the
flames as they were seen in the midst of the
fire where escape seemed impossible. Sew
eral firemen were also injured The origin
OF the fire has not been ascertained. That
part of the building known as Burlington
Hall escaped destruction.
