A Decision Amrmed,

In the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania, in the case of C. NJ. Runk, de-
ceased, of Allentown, against C. E.
Foster AMI Henry Beineman, of East
Mluch Chunk, decision was rendered
on Mon lay last in favor of the plaintiff.
1t will be remembered that this case
was one in which Mr.. Runk sued for the
payment Of royalty on brick clay on
lands situated at Kittatiny, leased to
VIM. Tombler, who assigned the lease
to Foster and Beineman. The payment
of royalty to Runk was refused, and
suit was tried before Judge Meyers in
Mauch Chunk in June, 1884, and the
decision was in favor of Runk, giving
him about $1,000 in royalty. Foster and
Beineman took writ of error to the
Supreme Court, and that Court affirmed
the decision of Judge Meyers. Freyman
and Kiefer were counsel for Runk, and
Fred. Bertolette, Esq. for Foster and
Beineman.

HE'LL oATE BLOWN Up.

The explosion of nearly 100000
pounds of dynamite in the subterranean
galleries of Flood Rock, He'll Gate, took
place on the 10th inst, according to the
prearranged plan, and was as fal as is
known a complete success. Six million
cubic feet of rock and mighty column
OF water were lifted by the irresistible
force of the explosive to height of two
hundred feet, to drop again into the bed
of East river a shattered and fragmen-
tary mass. How much more work will
be necessary and how much time will
be required to remove the debris Of
broken rock is matter Of conjecture.
That it will be the work of years is
probable. The removal of the debris of
Saturdays explosion will not complete
the work of clearing and strengthening
the channel of East river While a
channel 20 feet in depth and 200 feet
iu width will be assured as the result of
the blowing up OF Flood Rock, FRYING
Pan and Pot Rocks are still to be re-
moved. The former has eleven feet of
water over it and the latter twenty at
mean low tide. When these obstruc-
tions are removed q clear channel wide
enough for all practical purposes and
twenty-six feet in depth will be open in
to Long Island Sound. The suggestion
has already been made that the clearing
of these distractions may entirely
change the course of the mighty stream
of commerce which centres in New
York harbor The work has been a
very expensive one, over three and
half million of dollars having been en-
pended upon it already 1t is estimated
that another million and half will be
necessary for the completion of the
work, making the total cost upwards of
five millions. That it is well spent
money there is not shadow of a doubt,
the improvement being worth to the
commerce of New York many times its
cost. The success of the explosion
Saturday speaks volumes for the in
genuity and painstaking of General
Newton and his assistants. That such
a mighty mass of submerged rock could
have been lifted bodily from lis bed and
crushed into inumerable fragments
through agencies that coull be given
full effect by the gentle touch of an
eleven-year- FOLD child staggers belief and
furnishes another wonderful demonstra-
ton of the mighty forces that humanity
has succeeded in Harvesting into trac-
table and intelligent service. e.-Philadel

Is BUSINESS IMPROVING}

Chicago Ne,os: The business situation
is the subject Of a good deal of discus
sion by press and people. But, while
there Is steady although slow i'm
provement indicated in almost every
branch of trade and industry, there are
many who can see nothing encouraging
In the outlook. II is true our import
trade has fallen off about II per cent.
and that our exports have not increased,
yet the balance of trade is larg, ly in onr
favor. We are selling more abroad
than We buy, and hence the tendency Of
money is to the country and not out of
1t. This Is a healthy condition, for no
man or country ever failed when he was
selling more than he bought. There
have been three heavy failures the last
week, but the financial papers tell us
that they were all on the "bear" side of
the market, which shows that the ten
dency OF prices is upward. At the east
there is manifest quickening in the
wool market, and in the great wool
market Of the country, Boston, the sales
80 far this year have been $1,000, GOO
pounds in excess of the corresponding
period of 1884. The fall trade in dry
goods has been satisfactory in New
York, Chicago and Boston, and mer-
chants report payments to be prompt
and collections easier than last year.
Iron is steady, with decided upward
tendency in prices, and the same may
be said of coal. Farm produce is low,
especially wheat, but that is now con-
sidsrably above the minimum price for
last year. Its eheapness has, however,
had one effect that will tend to increase
Its price. Low wheat has made cheap
flour, and the result has been that il
has been more largely consumed, so that
the stock on hand has been reduced
within the last quarter at least 33 per
cent, Such are some of the surface in
dicatlons, but beneath them Is another
that Is important, which may be found
in the increased earnings of our rail
roads, especially in the northwest.
This shows that farmers are buying
goods, as well as selling their products.
There has also been a flow Of money
from commercial 'centers TO the country
70 move the crops, which will find its
way back slowly. On the whole, we
see the most hopeful and encoural ing
signs u q general revival In busines. in

GEORGE CRAWFORD, a depositor in
the West Side Bank, New York, drew
his check on April 20, 1882, upon the
bank, dating it April %, left it in his
safe, told bis book-keeper that he would
be absent, and that if he did not return
by noon Of the I'D o'take the check
and endorse it, procure the money upon
1t from the bank; and hand the meney
TO the foreman. On the 21st the book
keeper altered the date of the check
from the 22d to the 21st, procured the
money, and absconded. Crawford sued
the bank to recover his deposit. The
case was argued in the Court of Appeals
for the bank by John c. Shaw, and for
Crawford by D. NJ. Porter. The Court
held that the alteration OF the date of
the check was forgery which made the
check void, and that the bank could not
charge the payment upon Crawford, ,and
gave him Judgment for the amount of
bis deposit.

a city Of any considerable size where
life and property are safer than they are
in the city OF Brooklyn. | speak now
whereof know, and any person at all
acquainted with the facts will take my
word against that of all the lay preach
ers in the late convention.
The mortal sickness of Cardinal Nc
Closkey has filed many hearts with
grief, outside the Catholic Church.
Cardinal McCloskey while probably not
as great man as HIS predecessor, Bish-
op Hughes, has had the good fortune to
rule his Church in less troublous times,
and to reap the harvest which that great
prelate sowed. The Catholic Church
has been fortunate in its bishops and
archbishops, and the selection Of Arch
bishop McCloskey as Cardinal was most
fortunate, and to New York, at least,
gave the most unqualified satisfaction.
His singularly pure character, his
gentleness and charity, have earned
him the love and respect of thousands
who did not believe in his religion and
had never set foot inside his church.
Few men are as ready to die as he; he
can look back to a long and useful life,
rich with golden deeds of charity. In
the bitter religious strifes which have
rent this city, no man, jew or Gentle,
but mentioned Cardinal McCloskey's s
name with love and reverence. No
doubt, the aged priest longs to 60, for
already he can hear his Masters voice
saying "Well done, thou good and faith
full servant"
The sentencing of Ellen Peck. the
notorious confidence woman, closes for
the time being an eventful and stormy
life. She never looked for her dupes
among the weak and the foolish, but
she tackled the smartest business men
and robbed them every time; she never
few at small game. She got $4,000
out of Babbitt, the soap man.. and
.swindled Grady, notorious fence, ,.out
of SIP, 900 worth of diamonds. She got
$1,000 worth Of diamonds from a firm
on Maiden Lane, and has been nrixed
up with hundreds Of swindles for the
last fifteen years, but justice overlook
her this week, and now she goes to
States prison for four years and a half.
The investigation of the Excise Com
mission gives us little cause for con-
graduation. Shang Draper the burglar,
and Abe Coakley the thief, get licence
as readily as the Brunswick or Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Gambling houses and
disreputable resorts of thieves and har-
lots find grace III the eyes of our Excise
commissioners and flourish like a green
bay tree. 49,.

FERDINAND WARD has made a long
statement, filling ten columns of the
New York Herald, pretending to give
the full details of his great swindle.
Much that he says will not be believed
unless corroborated by other evidence,
much Is relatively unimportant. He
shows that all the Grants received large
"profits" according to the accounts,
meaning that the public shall
understand that they shared equally
with him in the results of his swindling
operations. But the profits" it ap-
pers on closer investigation, were rein
vested In the "business" and were all
finally lost together with the original
capital. The same was true of several
investors. But there are certain others
10 whom money and securities in large
amounts were transferred by Ward after
the failure, and who drew out large
sums Of money called ''profts" aggre-
eating millions In all. This part of the
history of the firm still needs explana-
tion. Why did Ward treat these inves-
tors so differently from the others, and
where has the money gone?

TIE election in Ohio Tuesday involved

THE election in Ohio Tuesday involved
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State
Treasurer, Attorney General, two SUI
pneme Judges, one member. of State
Board Of Public Works, and the Legis-
lature that will elect the successor to
John Sherman in the United States
Sepatep-.-A. vote was also taken upon
four amendments to the Constitution of
the State, three. of which relate to
changing the State election from Octo-
ber to November and one to changing
the term Office for township trustees.
The returns show the election of the
Republican State ticket by about Is, ,OOO
majority and the election of Republi-
can Legislature. AS Ohio usually gives
a Republican majority, there was no es-
peclal reason why she should not choose
a Republican this year. The Prohibi-
ttori question had given the hope to
some Democrats that their candidate
might win; but it seems that there are
Prohibition Democrats as well as Pro-
hibition Republicans, and the PIohib-
tion nominee drew from both parties.

Mason and Hamlin Planon.

Mason & Hamlin bid fair to become
as famous for their upright pianos as
they have long been for their world
renowned cabinet organs. The dis
tinguishing features about the "Mason
& Hamlin Upright" is an important
improvement in the method of holding
the strings of the piano, which originated
in their own factory. The strings are
secured by metallic fastenings, instead
of by the friction of pins set in wood, as
has been the case, and the advantages
resulting are numerous and highly i'm
portant. Among them are the following
Wonderful beauty and musical quality
of tone; far less liability of getting out
of tune; greater reliability in trying
climates; and greater solidity of con-
struction and durability. Mason d
Hamlin have made 10000 organs.
They can hardly exrect 10 make as
many pianos, but they will doubtless be
called upon for very large number.
Indeed, their piano department is now
running to its utmost capacity, and the
Company is behind orders. So great is
the demand that the Company is now
arranging for large additional factory
building.

THE beauties of litigation are well H.
Illustrated in what has been known as the
"Jones County Calf Case'' in Western
State. A farmer had four calves valued
at $50 stolen from him. A neighbor
bought them, innocently as he has al
ways claimed, and was prosecuted for
theft by an association Of farmers. In
return he brought suit against them for
malicious prosecution, and so the liti-
CATION has gone on. He has finally re-
covered $1,000, and the total expenses
Of the suit are estimated at $4,000.
Several prosperous farmers have been
ruined, and any amount of ill-fecl!ng has
been engendered, but the lawyers have
been doingwel.
