CumbrOus, Expensive and Ineffective.


Senator Davis bill to establish an ap-
pellate court, which has passed the Sen
ate creates nine intermediate courts, one
for each circuit, each of which will have
six judges, three of them being circuit
judges, two district judges and one IA
justice of the supreme court. Eighteen
new circuit judges are to be appointed,
each circuit being at present equipped
with but one. DEGREES of the district
and circuit court may be appealed to
this court in cases involving over $500,
or when the judges below certify the
issue involved to be Of general import.
ance. At present appeals lie TO the su.
preme court only in cases involving
$1,000. Appeals on points of law are al
lowed to the supreme court from the new
court in civil cases involving $4,000.
And in criminal cases if allowed by the
judge below; in cases involving u con.
struction of the construction or the
validity of a federal law or treaty, ap.
peals may be taken regardless of the
money value at state.
1t is surprising that a measure open to
such sound objection should have re-
ceived the approval of the Senate. 1t
seems to introduce very cumbrous ma
chinery of justice. There seems to he
no good reason why the appellate courts,
if created, should be equipped with so
many judges, or why the number should
he an even one. Three judges, if they
are fit for their places, ought to decide
the law as we'll as six and five would
be better as we'll as smaller number.
There is no apparent need for the addi-
tional circuit judges. The present cir
cult judges are not overworked, and if
these subordinate courts of appeal are a
good thing they might he equipped out
of the present force of district and cir
cult judges, without destroying them
with their labors, especially if the num-
Der of judges to each court was reduced
from six to three.
Outside of these reasons the scheme is
Objectionable in introducing nine sep
arate courts of final jurisdiction in the

SERIOUS CUTTING AFFAIR.
Result OF Quarrel Between Two Iss

Result OF n Quarrel Between Two Boys.
On Tuesday last two boys named Wem-
orholt, aged 1G years, and Vast aged IS
years, both of whom arc employed on the
farm Of Clifford Trescott, two miles above
ROhrerstown, were sent to the woods to
gather wagon load of leaves. Having
loaded the wagon, Vast. who was on top
of it accidentally dropped Il rake which
hit WemerhOlt on the nose. Angcred by
the pain he commenced to swear at Vast,
and applied to him very insulting
epithet. Vast jumped from the wagon
and chOkcd Wemerholt, whereupon the
latter drew from his pocket 4 knife and
stabbed his antagonist very badly in the
neck, and cut off 4 part of his ear. The
flow of blood scared both combatants and
ended the quarrel. Drs. ROhrer and Liv-
ingston were summoned to attend the
wounded boy, and found that the cut in
the neck was within quarter of an inch
of the jugular vein, and narrowly escaped
killing HIM. No complaint has been made
against Wemerholt, and if Vast RECEIVERS,
as is very probable, it is not likely that
any will be made.

United States. The constitution pre-
scribes that there shall be but one SUI
preme court, the object being to have
the law bear equally upon all sections of
the country. With nine courts we may
have different interpretations of the law
in different sections just as we now
have different decisions in tie various
states. Though the Davis bill is consti-
tutional: it certainly is not wholly in
accord with the spirit of the constitu.
ton. The plan which divides the su-
preme court itself into sections for the
hearing of cases, but makes these deci-
sions that of the whole body, is certainly
better than the Davis plan in sim.
piicity and effectiveness. It will give
the country more uniform inter
probation of the law and will be
more just to all classes of citizens. If il

Attempting to Burn Four Women Alive.

Mrs. Harney and her three daughters,
who reside in Cleveland, Tenn, have been
generally disl liked by their neighbors, and
in order to get rid of them a plot was
formed to burn the house while they were
sleeping. At the time set for the execu-
ton of the foul crime all of the lower doors
and windows of the house were secured
from the outside and the building was fired
in several places. The flame spread rapidly
and soon afterward the terror-stricken
inmates appeared at the upper windows of
the premises uttering the most agonizine
cries for help. They were rescued a
moment before tho burning roof of the
house fell in. The hair was burned from
the heads of tho unfortunate women and
their faces and hands badly blistered. No
arrests have yet been made.

nominations of A. ]. Kaufman to succeed
Thomas A. Wiley as collector of internal

that Arthur is furnished with a copy of
what the Harrisburg platform, not " yet

nominations and the removals they made
necessary:
FIRST. That we unequivocally condemn
the use of patronage to promote personal

bestowed within the party shall DO upon

Handing the Minister the Wrong Notice to
kead-Equal to the Occasion.

The people of little town in War
rick County have been hanging right
over the brink of church scandal, but
are not aware of the fact, nor will they
be until copy of the Arg,tS reaches
its readers over there just before the
close of the services last Sunday good
brother walked forward to the pulpit,
handed the minister an announcement,
as he thought, and asked him to read
it TO the congregation before he dis
missed them. just before time
was called on the Doxology the minis
ter said:
brother Bramley has handed in the
following" and in a clear voice he
read the note, which ran as follows
"MY OwN PET BRAN: Are you
never coming to see me again! | am
dying to see my darling once more and
gaze into his beloved eyes The old
mummy that calls herself your wife
will never find it out. How can you
endure her! Come, darling, to one who
truly loves you. Your own and only
"MARY."
The good brother had handed in the
wrong announcement. AT the close
of the reading the minister looked
horror-struck, the congregation stared
at Bramley with cold, hard stares, and
his wife rose up in her seat and glared
at him like tigress. He was equal to
the occasion, however, and, rising
calmly and with look of perfect res,
igna,ion on his face, he said:
"BRoTIIERs AND SISTERS: 1t may
appear strange to you that | should
ask our beloved pastor to read such
terrible thing as that from the pulpit,
but the best way to fight the devil is to
fight him boldly face to face. The
