Another Krack stand Case.
JUDGE MACAETHCRS ADVICE To TIL
HACEMFN.

u DGE MACARTHUR ADVICE To THE
HACENFN.
To-day. in the Criminal Court. Judge Mac
Arthur, the case Of Samuel ParkCS. charged
with violating the hackney carriage law.
was taken Up-MT- a. a. BiTney for the Dis
tTict. and Mr.. j.. F.. Cahill for the defence.
The defendant has been occupying with his
vehicle. a place on the nth street stand. b.
low PennSyl Ivan ia avenue. which stand was
set apart by the Board Of Public Works. July
18th 1871. He. however. to test the right of
the board went back on the stand established
by the cOrpOratiOn-14th street, between
Pennsylvania avenue and + strickland was
arrested and fired under the corporation act
of l.-42. The defence was made that by act of
let1 the act OF 1872 was repealed. and that at
the time OF the order Of tine board establish
ing the stand they had no authority for the
act Of the assembly granting authority had
not been passed. The case was argued until
IL o'clock, when the court took a recess.
Judge Macarthur said il was quite clear
that the Board of Public Works had not the
power claimed, but he would advise a com
pllance with the law, for If the question was
brought 10 legal test the hackmen would
find that they could stand nowhere within
the city limits; they would have to keep
their hacks off the streets. He would say TO
them, therefore, ii would be well for thaIn TO
90 back TO the stands set apart by the Board
of Public Works, at least for the present.
They were now under n government pre-
ScTihed by Congress, but il was probable that
in few days We will have n new govern
ment, and he hoped ii would b. one which
would listen TO their cOTIpIo.r.S. and give
Them an opportunity to pros tie their bust
ness without the necessity O. calling on the
courts. They had acquieSc 3 in the rpgula-
tons Of the Board OF Public Works so long
that TO comply with them n few months
lOrg ger, until the new government could act
would not be great hardship.
The trial was resumed at Z O'Clock u. m.
witnesses, who were sworn and gave their
testimony.

BUSINESS RIVALRY IN GEORGIA.
singular story is this from the Columbus

Oglethorpe street. Business need not be men
TONED. one is more prosperous than the
other The least successful hired an old
woman, who is reported to be q coniurer. a
bringer-On of good or bad luck as the case
may be- who was to cast down the rival and
lit up the employer. So she goes to work
and gets some earth from the graveyard,
mikes it with some kind of white power and
throws 1t into the front yard. The only result
thus FAR is the killing OF a verbena. The
branches of China tree which grew in one
lot overhung the house of the other. Some of
the bC rries were gathered, boiled with pecu-
liar roots, lamentations muttered, and the
mess thrown in the yard. We are told that
this, nonsensical as it appears. has really
happened in Columbus. We didn't think
that Ignorance and superstition could extend
that FAR in our city. If bad and good luck
does come of this, the hirer will swear the

consists in attributing to the infallibilItv of
the Pope the right of depOsing sovereigns
glance Without doubt this right has some
times been exercised by the Popes in their
supreme struggles, but it never had ANYTHING
in common with their infallibility and its
source was not in infallibility, but in the
FOntlfical authority. Moreover, the exercise
OF the right in the ages of faith-when mon
recognized in the Pope what he really is tho
supreme judge of ChriStendOm. and acknOWl-

solution OF great questions arising between

DETERIORATION OF COAL IN YARDS
The amount of deterioration which coal I'M
dergoes when long exposed unprotected to
the air and dampncSs has recently been in
vestigated by NarrenStraSS. He found that
in many cases the loss due TO oxidation and
development OF gases, which form the most
valuable parts of the coal, amounted TO one
third Of the original weight. while in this
case the caloriic or heating power of the
coal was reduced to less than half-even to as
little as Il per cent. of the original heating
power. The same coal kept under a shed pro-
tectlng II against the rain lost much less
while when placed in a closed warehouse.
but exposed to the air, it lost in the same
time scarcely 25 per cent. of gas. and 10 pes,
cent. of the calorific power. He found fur
Their that in general bituminous coal changes
more rapidly than anthracite. These figures
prove the immense interest which ought to
be taken in the matter of building proper
store-houSes for keeping the supplies of coal
by those who use and store large quantities..
1t is evident that the expense involved in
making such structures would be soon largely
compensated by the economy resulting
theretrom.
