Simon T. Kase's Lawsuit.

The Philadelphia Times of Tuesday,
gives the following account of suit
one ofthe parties to which is we'll known
in this county.
George Junkin, master in chancery
in the case of Simon z. Kase against
the Danville, Hazleton and Wilkesbar-
re Railroad, has entered a decree
awarding the defendants S5lO,7S5,86,
with interest, which will increase the
amount nearly one-third. This road,
which for over six years has been en-
gagged in litigation with Mr. Kase, was
started by the latter in 1867 and COM
pleted as far as Catawissa in 1872. Its
starting point was al Sunbury. 1t was
begun almost without capital, and from
its inception until the foreclosure of the
mortgages by the bondholders, in 1875,
Kase was at times its president, super
intendent and financial agent. He,
retired from the road IN 1878. In 1877
he proceeded against the company in a
suit in which he claimed TO be entitled
to $750,000, which he had advanced
to the company and for which he had
received no return. A counter-suit
was brought by the bondholders for
the recovery of money alleged to be
owed the company by Kase. The case
was referred to George Junkin as mas.
ter in chanoery. In rendering his de-
cision, on Saturday, Mr.. Junkin award
ed counsel for the plaintiff until Sept
ember 20 for the filing of exceptions
to the ruling. The testimony in the
case forms volume of several hun-
dred pages. Probably the most inter
esting portion of the testimony is that

tion with the spirit of the late Colonel
Thomas A, Scott, George l.. Craw.
ford, counsel for the railroad company,
in endeavoring to break down Kases
testimony attempted to show that his
spiritualistic tendencies uIfitted him
to be reliable witness. In reply to a
question Mr.. Kase admitted that he
was believer in Spiritualism and af-
ter some hesitation related the follow
ing incident |: While wandering about
Spiritualists' camp meeting in Massa-
chusetts he heard bis name called and
on looking around discovered that the
sound proceeded from a tent near at
hand. Prompted by curiosity he en-
tered the tent and found a seance in
progress. Hearing his name called
again he recognized the voice of the
late Colonel Scott and was satisfied at
once that he was the recipient of a
spiritual visitation. II could not doubt
it, said Mr.. Kase, sand Immediately
questioned the spirit as to its wishes
concerning me" The colonel then
said in a voice in which sadness and
retribution were indescribably blend
ed that since his departure from earth

be had been much troubled by the re-
collection that during his life he had
treated him (Mr. Kase) with great in
justice, had made himself barrier 10
Mr.. Kase's success and finally prayed
that any wrong inflicted might be for
given. Mr.. Kase claimed that he held
a long conversation with the spirit of
the departed ex.railroad president, in
which he talked plainly and clearly of
the affairs occurring during his life
and seemed to be conversant with mat
tiers developed after his decease. Kase
made these statements under oath. 1t
1t is said that with interest the finding
against Mr.. Kase will reach fully $9OO,-
600. He is, however, without means,
and the leoision, even il indorsed by
the Court, will be of little practical
value so far az the recovery of the
money is concerned.

The mathematicaus of the Press
and Times may now be discharged.
Since the Legislative pay has been
stopped by the democrats there is no
further occasion for daily calculations
as TO the cost of the session.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1883-09-14

Now that the pay of the legislature
has ceased, the Philadelphia Press and
Tunes ought to tell the people how
much the extra session has cost up to
date. This is an important matter
which they seem to have overlooked.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1883-09-14

1t is apparent now which party has
prolonged the session of the legislature
in order to draw the $40 day. As
soon as the pay is cut off the republi-
can senate refuses to legislate, and will
meet only two days in the week.
