JUDGE SMELL, of Washington, has
made decision to the effect that an &C.
tion will not lie in the case of an attor-
ney who, having contracted to perform a
service for 10 per cent. of the money in
litigation, retains SO per cent. He says
that if every lawyer who takes greater
percentage than that contracted fer is to
be prosecuted it will burden the courts
with business. This is good for both the
court and the attorneys, as it relieves the
former from extra work and gives the
latter license to plumber clients at will.

The drouth is becoming very seri-
Gus in Pennsylvania. Trains on the
Pennsylvania railroad have been delayed
through the failure of the stations to
supply water to the engines. The priu-
cipal water station on this road Tor
western-bound freight trains is located
at New Florence. The water in the
tank is SO low, owing to the continued
drouth, that it requires not les than
forty minutes to fill the engine tank.
This caused massing of freight trains,
and blockadcd the tracks for passenger
trains, which could only te raised by
using the ea5t,bound single track for
trains in both directions. At one
time the freight trains were
stretched along the track from
New Florence ten miles east. The Ohio
river at Pittsburgh is seven inches
lower than the record of its lowest stage
last year. But four inches of water rip
pie over the pipes of the Allegheny river,
from which Pittsburgh gets its water.
