The Injuries j; received were much less SER

None OF the letters are destroyed, and the
side most dctaccd is the one upon which
there is no inscription. Mr. Field is con-
vlnccd that the monument can be easily
restored to its former condition; but he is
determined to have the culprit who ut
tempted to destroy the inscription written
by Dean Stanley severely punished il pos

ALLENTOWN, February 25.-Quintus
Sonerwine, aged sixteen, is EMPLOYED at
one OF the rolls Of the Judah rolling mill
in this city. A bar Of red-hot iron was
passing through the rolls and Sonerwine
stood ready with his tongs to catch it. Just
us he was about to catch hold OF the bar
another boy accidentally struck the iron.
The blow gave the bar u sudden upward
movement, and it pierced his vest and
shirt, passing up his chest through his
chin and the root Of his tongue to the roof
OF his mouth, where the bone stopped
further progress Though suffering great
pain the boys presence of mind did not
fonSake him, but he pulled the iron out,
badly burning his hands. The other
workmen stood amazed, but the boys
father ran up to him and walked him to a
physician, about six blocks distant. The
hole in the chin IS large enough to admit
the insertion Of n finger The bows course
from the mill TO the doctors office could
be traced by the blood he lost on the way.
The doctor thinks the boy stands fair

Iature on. Apporionmcnt appears in the
Senate proceedings in this issue. 1t takes
thc ground that an increase in either
hoasc OF the Legislature would be HHcohs-
titulona. 1t also criticiscs sharply the
inequalities Of the proposed new Senatorial
districts, rs well as the inequalities OF re-
presentation in the House of Delegates.
This report will find Il decided response
auoDg the people in their present temper
Of mind over the proposed increase OF tax
alton. They will not want to see an in
crease Of 81 1900 per session in the expenses
Of the Legislature, especially il under the

extra sessions. Taking the doubts that ex.
ist as to whether there is any power in the
legislature to increase the number oil dele
gates, aniadIns them to the unpopularity
Of increased taxes and increased expenses,
and the popular voice will be to let the
representation stand as it exists to-day.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, February 25.-Colonel
Maplesont manager Of Her Majesty's Opera
Company, has brought down upon himself
a storm Of public indignation by his con.
duct during the troupe's engagement in
this city. Signor Campanini and Mile.
Minnie Hauk were announced to appear in
Carmen" at Corinthian Academy OF Music
this afternoon, About O'Clock bulletin
from Colonel Mapleson was displayed. at
the theater 10 the effect that Mile
HauE would be unable 10 appear, and
that Signor Campanini never played
without the prima donna. The opera OF
"Martha" would be substituted for Gar.
men, withan entire change OF cast. Money
to the amount Of nearly s., 600 was returned
to those who wished 1t. 1t seems that the
Mapleson party intended not to announce
the change until the rising Of the curtain,
and it was due to the Rochester manage.
ment that timely notice was given.
At the opera OF "Faust" last night the
prima donna, Rossfna, was excused on &C.
count ofalleged sickness rs the curtain was
about to rise, and a very poor substitute
was made. The Academy management is
justly indignant at the outrageous conduct.
and Mapleson is assured that he can never
lease the house again.

ton should be taxed. The tax is not upon
Its office and furniture, but upon its capital,
and thus the, State had jurisdiction. Mr..
Gilbert cited numerous decisions OF the
Supreme Court.
ES.Judge Ranney, OF Ohio, followed for
the defense. He eIhaustively reviewed
the acts OF the Assembly relating to the
subject, and their construction. The
Court should not strain them for the pur.
pose OF reaching point not intended.
Every department OF the commonwealth
oi Pennsylvania had placed its seal upon
the act that only that portion Of the capital
stock used in the State could be taxed
There was nothing in the case but proper
construction OF the acts. They might
mean more, but II could not be proper to
give them univHsal construction.
Pending argument the court took a re.
cess.
Judge Ranney, OF the defense, denied the
right OF one State to assume Jurisdiction
oyer that Of another, or any Of It's subjects.
lie drifted into the question Of interstate
commerce under the Federal Constitution,
and based the business Of the Standard, SO
lar as 1t related TO this State, upon these
grounds. When the fact Is established
that u State can reach over into another
State and tax capital stock upon It's corpo-
ration, then Pennsylvania would not be
alone. The Federal Government is def.
cient unless II insures domestic tranquility.
Contention would be the consequence were
Il not so, and no matter what the subter-
luge, sovereign States having no jurisdic.
tion beyond their own limits would reach
over into other States and tax whom and
what they pleased.
Attorney-General Palmer summed up
for the State, and closed the case by sub.
mitting the following points, which he
asked the Court to consider:
First, the Court is respectfully asked to
find rs q fact from the evidence that de-
icndant Is a foreign corporation doing
business within the Commonwealth and
within the meaning OF the taxing statutes
during the years covered by the settlement.
Second, that as conclusion Of the law,

will be the equal Of any on the bench. He
is native Of Appomattax county, and was
CAPTAIN in the Confederate army. Drury
A. Hinton, OF Petersburg studied law in
the Office Of late Judge Jaynes, and that
jurist is quoted us saying that Hinton went
out OF his office the best prepared man he
knew.
L. L. Lewis, OF Richmond. is the half.
brother OF Lieut.Gov. John +. Lewis, and

a prominent place in Virginia affairs. His

cred the ablest man OF the five selected by
the Readiusters for the Supreme Bench.
He is man OF remarkably clear Judgment,
unusually well read, and practical lawyer.
With few exceptions Lewis is regarded MS
the ablest lawyer in the Republican party
in Virginia. b, W. Lacy, OF Kent county,
was the first county Judge q New Kent
He was elected to the House OF Delegates
for two successive terms. He was
made Speaker OF that body by the Re-
adjusters at the session OF 1879, and while
serving in that capacity, was elected Cir
cult Judge, which position he still fills.
This gentleman was the Readjuster candi-
date for Congress in 1880 against John
Goode and J. +. Dezendorf, in The Norfolk
District, and was defeated by the latter. T.
I. Fountleroy, OF Frederick county, served
two terms in the House OF Delegates.
While in that body, in 1870, he was made
Secretary oil the Common Sealth, in which
place he was succeeded by Editor Elan, Of
the Wing. He is lawyer and well re-
garded.
The terms OF all these new Judges, ex-
cept Hinton, will commence in July, 1888.
There is dispute in his case. The Demo.
