A Big Lawsuit,
THE COMPLICATED CASE GROWN OUT OF A
CENTRALIA COAL MINE OPERATION.

The great partnership case Of Freck agant
Blackiston was up again on Thursday of last
week bt fore JudgesYerkes and Finletter for
argument. Mr.. A, T. Shearer appeared for
the plaintiff, Mr.. j. M. Freck and Richard
9, McNlurtlie for The defendant The suit,
commenced n 1868, grew out of a partner.
ship formed by the parties in 1862 working
the Centralia colliery in Columbia county.
In 1866 Blackiston sold out tn Freck all his
interest in the collery and in ''all the mater
engines thereto belonging, and all property,
real and personal. Herewith connected"
In 1868 Freck filed a bill in equity against
his former partner praying for an account
to be exhibited by him of certain items in
the partnership transactions. Blackiston in
his answer pleaded that the account had
been settled except as to two items, of which
he claimed Freck should make an acc punt
to him--nne of 81 500 received by Freck
from the Supervisors of Columbia county in
repayment of loan, and the other of Sl0,-
900 damages paid to Freck 10y the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company after the dissolu-
ton of the firm for AN injury done to the
collery while it was partnership property.
The Court of Nisi Prius, upon the report of
the master, sustained the claim of Backiston
to an account of these two items, and the
claim of Freck to certain other items, and
both parties appealed to the Supreme Court,
which. in March. 1876. decided to reverse
the decree Of Nj, rrius, ard remitted the
record to Common Pleas No. 3 for further
proceedings. The decision of the lower
court sustaining Blackiston's right to an ac-
count for the two items was, however. af-
firmed On again reaching the Common
Pleas the case was sent back to the master,
who charged the plaintiff Freck with inter.
est upon the $4,000, amounting to about
81 800. Exceptions were filed by the latter
to this report, and in this shape the matter
came before the court yesterday. In opposi-
tion to the masters report it was argued that
the Court had no Jurisdiction. because the
record had never been properly remitted from
the Supreme Court, as directed, and also
that interest should only be allowed Blackis-
ton upon the $4,000 from the time of the
decree in his favor by the Supreme Court.
No decision was made.-Times.

llOyt as an AristOcrat.

Hoyt is full blooded aristocrat. He has
never been, nor is he to-day, in sympathy
with the masses who have neither fame nor
fortune to commend them, He has always
associated with men of wealth, and, as a
lawyer, he has for years been retained by
the richest corporations. He has been iden-
tilted, professionally and politically, with
the money monarchs of the day, whose mot
to is rule or ruin.- Wilkes Barre Leader.

The Agitation in Germany.

DEEIiE, Juae II The subject of the
approaching Congress of the Powers in his
city attracts, relatively, less public attentio n
than the internal crisis, which is kept. pr om-
ineutly in view by the activity of the pol ice
and the partisan preparations for the ap-
preaching elections.
The leaders of the National Liberty party
are here for consultatio N, and to determine
on IA course OF action. They believe that
Bismarck had determined upon the dissolu-
tien of the Reichstag even before Nobeling's
attempt to kill the Emperor, or that he
would at least have convened the Reichstag,
and ascertained the disposition of that body.
Their war cry will be like that of the French
Republicans in the contest with the De
Broglie Ministry-tbe return Of the present
Liberal members. .... ...-.
Prince Frederick William, replying to an
address of the municipality of Berlin, declar-
ed that his faith in the loyalty OF an over

The condition of DIR. Modelling is much

Arrests for treasonable utterances among the
classes infested with socialism continue to
be very frequent. The Federal Council, it
is expected, will certainly consent to the
dissolution of the Reichstag to-day. The
elections will be appointed for the second
half of July. ft.
A bulletin issued at 1890 a. m, says :
The Emperor continues to improve. His
wounds have all healed The right arm is
still swollen, but is less susceptible
LONDON, June "a letter to prominent
German house in this city gives summary
of what purports to he the report made by
the chief of the secret police to Prince Bis
marck, summing up the results of all the
discoveries that had been made concerning
the Modelling conspiracy. The facts as thus
related bear out the state ments already
made as to the widespread nature of the
plot. The condition of Modelling has never
been 50 dangerous as was reported, aud he
will live to meet his fate at the hands of the
execuliouer. The state of the public feel
ing, however, begins to show evidence of a
reaction from the fervid loyalty that marked
everything last week, and the police either
really fear, or pretend to fear that further
trouble is at hand. Extraordinary precau-
tions are everywhere taken, the army is care
fully kept in hand, and arrests continue to
be made.
