A Startling Decision.

A startling principle of law has just
been enunciated by the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, in the case of Lazear
VS.. Porter. 1T was stated case to test
the question of the right of the wife of
bankrupt to her dover interest in the
real estate of her husband, when the
same has been sold by the assignee. 1t
was held by the Court below that sale
of real estate by an assignee divested
the dover interest of the wife, and this
judgment is reversed by the higher
Court. This decision of the Supreme
Court is the most startling and far-reach-
ing in its effects that that body has
rendered for many q year. Since the
bankrupt law has been in operation
there has been millions of dollars worth
of real estate disposed of under it. 1t
has all been sold under the supposition
that the wives of the bankrupt had no
claim on 1t. But according to this decis-
ion every living wife of bankrupt,
whose estate was thus sold, can claim
and recover her third of the property
from its present owner. In other words,
the title to the property thus innocently
bought by creditors or outside parties is
Vitidted in their hands to the extent of
one-third. And the case may often be
worse than that. For the property in
cases has deprecated greatly in the
hands Of the present owners, who,
nevertheless, may be required to pay
back the value of the third as it was at
the time of the purchase. The amoutn of
suffering that this will cause will
make people regret that, If this be the
law, 1t was not discovered earlier, so
that while doing justice to bankrupt
wives, 1t should not operate to do equal,
If not greater, injustice to people who
never went into bankruptcy.

among the saloon keepers. The latter
held ratification meeting last evening.

The Sleeping Car Swindle.


A very general feeling possesses the
public mind that the present charges for
the use of the sleeping car is swindle.
There has been an almost universal COM
plant on the subject, and the question
now promises to get into the Legislatures
of various states. Already the Attorney
General of Illinois has given it as his
opinion that 1t is quite within thepower
of State Legislature to regulate Sleep
ing-car companies just as railroad com
panles, and bill is now before the Him
ois Legislature to reduce the sleeplng-car
rates to reasonable figures. There is
also bill before the Missouri Legisa-
ture which puts the price of n sleeping
car berth for a single night at the sensi-
bic sum of$1, or rather, which prohibits
the charge of more than 81 for such
berth. Unquestionably the movement
will rapidly extend to other States, and
1t would be the part of wisdom in the
Pullman Company to calmly accept the
inevitable and come down to fair prices
all along its line. There is no doubt
about 1.-THE present scale of charges
must go.

An Uncommon Man.

Jonathan A. Lane had to his credit
in the State Treasury of Massachusetts
$261 80 as salary as member of the Gov
ernor's Council. AS he had given but
twenty days to the service, he refuses to
to take more than $100, and is frank
enough to say what great many others
in office might say, but don't, that he
had " rendered the public no apprecia-
tive service" Jonathan is q bright and
shining example, who should be imita-
ted.

Stephens, of Georgia, says he is asham-

we met, he says, it was heralded
abroad that, we would find relief for the
people, but instead of that we have been
a burden, aud the Forty fifth Congress
adjourned in deeper disgrace than any
Congress in the history of the govern
ment." He hopes that better record
will be made by the next Congress.

Large Fire at Lltiz.

About noon Tuesday a fire broke
out in large laundry buildln at Litiz.
AS Linden Hall Seminary is adjacent,
fears of its destruction were entertained,
but the firemen did such good work
that the threatened disaster was averted.
1t was not, however, possible to do more
than confine the flames to the building
in which they had originated, and the
laundry was completely destroyed.

lfS" A Treatlse'on the Horse and his Dis.

Falls, W., is a book that every owner Of a
horse should have, and no, breeder of horses
can afford to do without. II has thIrty.flve en-
cravings illustrating positions assumed by sick
horses, and gives treatment of diseases In such
plain and comprehensive language as TO be
readily understood by any one of ordinary In
telligence. The price ia only 25 cents, but we
would not exchange II for any book on the
horse and his diseases that we have ever seen,
and we have some books Of the kind that cost
$40. II contains large number of recipes,
any one Of which is worth double the price OF
the work. The book may be had of the au-

Ing about these bills except what is

that in the aggregate the quantity of
groceries charged In these bills, and
others passed by the directors, Is enor-
nous, and bought In small quantities.
That on call for the books and nc
counts, Mr.. Klink could not furnish
them and on further examination
he stated that number of the charges
were not true as to the character of the
articles purchased and that by the di-
reotion of the stewards and Director
Baker, he had charged as groceries artic-
les that were not proper TO be purchased
for the county, or that would be desira-
ble for them to have the public know
their true character. For these and
other reasons these vouchers, covering
Mr.. Kinks bills, have been rejected
Voucher 1858. S. A. Bowers, for in
terest paid on money borrowed from the
Carlisle Deposit bank, George Wagner
and others, $2ss. The auditors say that
neither the directors, treasurer, or stew
ard, are allowed to borrow money in
their official capacity and therefore the
credit for interest paid by them be dis
allowed.

allowed for the same reason as set fort II
in regard to voucher No. 1853.
Voucher No. 355. Extra salary for
directors, $4,000. This voucher covers
$40 paid each of the directors for extra
services The auditors, after calling at
tention to the rules and bylaws, censur-
ed the directors for manifest neglect of
duty, and disallowed this bill as alto
gether illegal.
The sum total of S6,3SS09 Is the
amount disallowed by the auditors and
by their direction charged to Messrs.
John Wolf, Jacob Gutshall and David
Baker. BY an act of the legislature the
report of the auditors, when filed with
the prothonotary, becomes lien against
the property of the directors. This
having been done, the only course left
them is TO furnish bond i'm double the
amount, and take an appeal from the
decision of the board of auditors within
sixty days. This we have no doubt they
will do, and then the whole matter will
come before court for legal investigation.
The above is but brief summary of
what the report contains, but will give
the public some idea of the conclusion
reached by the auditors.

The ADVANCE in wheat during the past
ten days is causing large shipments by
rail. The amount of grain stored at the
principal shipping points of the West,
now exceeds by one-third the quantity
held at the same points last year. The
prospects are, that the present price will
only hold until navigation opens in the
spring, and consequently it will un-
doubtedly be to the advantage of the
farmer who has grain to sell, to sell it
now.
